The two of them walked in silence, but Gu Yunxi suddenly took her hand.

Yao Zhili looked at him without knowing why, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

What's wrong?

Gu Yunxi looked aggrieved: "Second uncle, he doesn't like me."

Yao Zhili was startled, was this still Gu Yunxi?

He had never been like this before.

Gu Yunxi's face looked a little strange, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yao Zhili calmed down and comforted: "Second uncle, he just doesn't understand you yet."

His eyes shone with a guilty conscience.

Liu Qiong had already investigated Gu Yunxi.

Soon it was time for dinner, and Mrs. Liu left Gu Yunxi to eat.

Gu Yunxi agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

Liu Qiong raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head again.

It's hard to figure out what he means.

At the dinner table, Gu Yunxi wanted to talk to Liu Qiong and said, "Second uncle, I..."

Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Liu Qiong's cold voice.

"You eat without talking, you sleep without talking."

The expression on Gu Yunxi's face was slightly frozen, and he silently shut up.

Yao Zhili picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.

Gu Yunxi looked at her and smiled.

Yao Zhili blinked at him.

Liu Qiong watched the interaction between the two and coughed twice.

Yao Zhili lowered his head and ate silently.

After finishing the meal, Liu Qiong directly issued an order to expel Gu Yunxi.

"Mr. Gu, it's getting late, you should go back."

Yao Zhili opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But when it touched Liu Qiong's face, he swallowed it back in his stomach.

She secretly reached out and pulled Mrs. Liu's sleeve, asking for help.

Mrs. Liu gave her a comforting look and said, "Anna, go see Yun Sheng off."

Gu Yunxi said goodbye knowingly, "Grandma, second uncle, I'm leaving first."

Mrs. Liu said politely: "Come and play again next time."

Gu Yunxi nodded, "Yes, grandma."

Liu Qiong told Yao Zhili, "Come back soon."

Yao Zhili looked helpless, "I understand, second uncle."

After saying that, he left with Gu Yunxi.

Yao Zhili sent Gu Yunxi outside the gate.

She pursed her lips and said, "Don't mind, my second uncle..."

Gu Yunxi put his finger on her lips, stopping her next words.

"It's okay, I understand."

Yao Zhili's eyes fell on his face and she gently took his hand.

He said comfortingly: "After some time, my second uncle will accept you."

Gu Yunxi stroked her cheek and hugged her tightly.

He promised in her ear, "Don't worry, I will definitely get the approval of my second uncle and stay with you in an upright manner."

Yao Zhili rubbed her cheek in his arms, "I'll wait for you."

At that time, only Mrs. Liu and Liu Qiong were left in the living room.

Mrs. Liu asked: "We have people here today. What do you think?"

There was no extra expression on Liu Qiong's face, and it was impossible to tell what his attitude towards Gu Yunxi was.

"We only met once, so we don't know exactly what will happen yet."

"Anna is the only daughter of our Liu family, so we must not be careless."

This means that Gu Yunxi is not sentenced to death, and he still has a chance.

Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement and could look at it again.

To avoid causing Yao Zhili to be wronged in the future.

After Yao Zhili sent Gu Yunxi away, she returned to the room.

She counted the time and waited until Gu Yunxi had almost arrived at the hotel before making a call.

"Yunsheng, are you home?"

There was a beep on the phone, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Gu Yunxi replied: "Just arrived."

Yao Zhili pinched really accurately at this time.

At this time, there was a knock on her door.

Yao Zhili spoke to Gu Yunxi on the other end of the phone and hung up.

She opened the door, but she didn't expect Liu Qiong to be standing outside the door, and she was slightly surprised.

"Second uncle? What's the matter?"

Liu Qiong was much calmer than before, observing Yao Zhili's expression.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Ana, are you angry with your second uncle?"

"You think your second uncle's attitude toward Gu Yunxi today is too cold?"

Yao Zhili shook her head, knowing that Liu Qiong was doing it for her own good.

Otherwise, he directly agreed to her marriage to Gu Yunxi.

Anyway, she has the Liu family as her backer, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to protect her.

But Liu Qiong did this just to eliminate this possibility and hope that Yao Zhili could be happy.

Liu Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, not long after he found Yao Zhili.

He was really afraid that Yao Zhili would be angry with him because of this matter.

"That's good."

Liu Qiong gave Yao Zhili a few more words before leaving.

Yao Zhili turned around and went back to the room, and when she was about to close the door, she seemed to hear Yan Ran's voice.

She stopped closing the door and took two steps outside.

I happened to hear Yan Ran asking about Gu Yunxi.

Yao Zhili felt cold in her heart and glanced in the direction where they were talking.

Around the corner, Yan Ran's expression flickered, asking for news about Gu Yunxi in the name of concern.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yao Zhili's lips, she returned to the room and closed the door.

It seems that the lesson learned last time was not enough, Yan Ran actually dared to reach out to her.

Yao Zhili took out the photo again and fell into deep thought.

Since Liu Qiong had already considered letting Yan Ran leave the Liu family, he naturally would not tell her about Gu Yunxi.

He just said a few perfunctory words and asked her not to interfere.

Then he left.

Yan Ran narrowed her eyes and revealed a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of her mouth.

I don't know what idea I came up with, and I went back to the room in a good mood.

The next morning, when Yao Zhili went downstairs.

Several people were already sitting together having breakfast.
