Ye Qinglan was startled and looked at Gu Xinian reflexively.
It turns out that the jade pendant has such a great background. It is not only an old thing that he has worn for twenty-one years, but also a family heirloom of the Duke of Dingguo. How could he give such a precious thing to her casually?
Gu Xinian responded calmly: "I can't remember when I lost it. I've been looking for it these days. Yu'er, don't tell your parents about this, lest they worry."
Gu Xiyu immediately agreed obediently, and then said hurriedly: "I'm going to go look in the house right now." By the way, she called Mo Xiang and Feicui to help them search. Ruixue thought about it and followed her.
Then, only Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian were left in the small side hall.
…
Cunning! Insidious! Ye Qinglan secretly complained. She actually used such an excuse to drive Gu Xiyu away. The jade pendant was honestly in her purse, and Gu Xiyu would not be able to find it even if she searched for it all night.
"You..." The two of them opened their mouths at the same time.
Gu Xinian did not fight with her this time, and said with a smile: "You say it first."
Ye Qinglan refused to be polite to him, frowned and asked in a low voice: "That jade pendant is so precious, why did you just give it to me? If you lose it, I can't afford to pay for it."
Gu Xinian responded casually: "If it is really lost, just pay the debt with your own body."
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes and spat at him.
Gu Xinian smiled softly. His handsome face became less gloomy and his lines became much softer. To use an idiom to describe it, he was absolutely beautiful!
Such beauty is in front of you. You can't see it in vain. Besides, now that Haolai has broken the window paper, there is no need to pretend to be shy. Therefore, Ye Qinglan simply stared at Gu Xinian for a while, and then sighed:
"You look pretty when you smile. You should smile more."
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't usually have a sullen face."
"How is that the same?" Ye Qinglan said disapprovingly: "Your usual smile is like a mask, you are not really smiling at all. I feel panicked just looking at it. It's much better now."
Gu Xinian couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, this girl had the nerve to talk to him. Isn't she the same way? She looked gentle, calm and easy-going, but in fact, that was not the case at all.
The real her is a cunning and cunning master who refuses to suffer even the slightest loss. She never forgets to erect a thick wall in front of herself to keep people out. Like a slippery snake.
The wandering hedgehog usually hides its quills well, but once it really gets close to her, all those quills pop out. It happens to be so sharp-tongued that it often chokes people to death with its words.
But the more he looked at her like this, the more he liked her...
Ye Qinglan felt uncomfortable when he saw him, with a defensive look on her face: "Hey, why do you look at me like this? Are you thinking about something again? I'm warning you, what happened last time was just an accident. Don't make any plans in the future.
Half a step closer to me."
Gu Xinian glanced sideways at her: "I restrained myself because I was afraid that you would covet my beauty."
Bah! Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes fiercely. She had experienced this man's duplicity before. Despite the seriousness of his words, she didn't know what he was thinking in his heart!
It was rare that the two had no tit-for-tat, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Gu Xinian was thinking about what he heard before and asked in a deep voice: "When did your eldest brother come back?"
When Ye Yuanzhou was mentioned, Ye Qinglan's smile faded a bit, and she responded simply: "He came back last year, but he didn't pass the exam. His father asked him to study in the Imperial College."
A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes: "He is really 'painstaking'."
When Ye Qinglan heard that the words sounded wrong, her heart suddenly moved. She blurted out: "You know he did it on purpose, right?" In other words, Ye Yuanzhou in his previous life actually passed the Qiuwei exam.
The relationship between the two was different, and Gu Xinian was not as taboo about talking about his past life as before: "I didn't have much of a deep impression on him. However, I remember that when he died, he was already a Jinshi."
In his previous life, Ye Yuanzhou was only about twenty years old when he died. Based on this calculation, Ye Yuanzhou should have shined in the autumn exam, and then passed the spring exam. But all of this was ruined by Ye Yuanzhou himself.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but sigh. The word "love" is really harmful! No wonder Xue always regarded her as a thorn in his side. From Xue's point of view, wasn't she the culprit?
Ye Yuanzhou's paranoia and fanaticism are also a disease from a psychological point of view. Moreover, it is obvious that the disease is not serious, and he is so obsessed with his own sister...
"Don't worry." A glint flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, and he didn't know what he was planning: "Leave Ye Yuanzhou's matter to me."
Ye Qinglan frowned slightly: "Don't mess around. After all, he is my eldest brother." After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, you don't need to worry about this. I can handle it myself."
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and his tone became a bit colder: "He is a complete madman, how can you, a woman, deal with him? If he does something inappropriate on impulse, your
Your reputation will be completely ruined. If you have forgotten what I once said, I might as well say it to you again. In the previous life, your eldest brother killed your fiancé and caused you to die innocently. In the end, you also
He committed suicide. What would you do to deal with such a twisted and gloomy person?"
Seeing that Ye Qinglan wanted to speak, he added a few words lightly: "Leave it to me! I won't let him hurt you in the slightest." The indifferent tone revealed strong confidence, which made people uncomfortable.
Consciously convinced.
Ye Qinglan's heart palpitated. When a man protects you without hesitation, it is a warmth that no woman can refuse.
She has always been strong and independent, and is used to dealing with everything by herself, so even if she encounters a difficult problem, she will not ask others for help. But at this moment, she felt the warmth of being cared for. Although Gu Xi
Nian didn't say any sweet words, but these few words made people feel very heart-warming.
"Thank you," Ye Qinglan's eyes softened little by little: "I know you are worried about me. But, I really don't want you to get involved in this matter."
Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was obviously not very good. At that moment, she was clearly moved, but in just a short moment, she returned to her stubborn look: "Don't you trust me?"
Otherwise, why reject him again and again?
Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "This has nothing to do with trust or distrust. You want to help me because you are worried about my situation. But have you ever thought about what my mother would think if you really meddle in my affairs rashly? Brother to me
Only my mother and I know what he is thinking, and even the second sister is kept in the dark. If you really take action against him, wouldn't it be too obvious? By then, not only your relationship with me will be hidden from others, but also the eldest brother's.
Strange thoughts will also be noticed by interested people. That’s when things really get bad.”
Once word spreads, this is a scandal that can ruin a person's life. After all, Ye Yuanzhou is this body's biological brother. If he is ruined like this, her sister's reputation will also be completely ruined. When the time comes,
How should she face everyone in Changyuan's Mansion?
How to deal with Ye Yuanzhou can be slow for the time being, but more importantly, suppress this matter firmly and never let anyone notice. Therefore, Gu Xinian must not take action against Ye Yuanzhou!
It is impossible for Gu Xinian not to understand this truth.
Gu Xinian was silent for a moment and frowned quietly: "According to what you said, I have to watch him harass you and then I can't do anything?" This kind of thing is something that no man can bear, okay?
!
Ye Qinglan stared at him with her clear eyes and responded gently: "If the day comes that I can't cope anymore, I will naturally ask you for help. However, we are far from that step yet. Please trust me, okay?"
I'm not that weak Ye Qinglan who can only cry, I naturally have a way to deal with him."
Gu Xinian didn't speak anymore, but still had a gloomy face. After saying so much, there was actually only one real reason. She still didn't trust him enough, so she refused to rely on him and would rather deal with Zhou Xuan by herself...
Ye Qinglan could see his thoughts from his face, but she stopped trying to persuade him.
He has his own ideas, and she also has her persistence. She is not a weak and helpless dodder flower. It is better to face her own predicament by herself.
After a long time, Gu Xinian finally broke the silence: "Since you insist so much, I won't force you. However, don't be too pushy. If you really encounter something that cannot be solved, you must tell me." Finally.
Reluctantly gave in.
Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief and put on a sweet smile: "Well, I'm not a fool. If I really can't handle it anymore, I will definitely find you as my big supporter."
This is how the relationship between men and women actually works. If you give in one step, then give in one more step, you will habitually make concessions in the future. Therefore, she will never give in easily. Otherwise, she will be eaten to death in the future.
of?
Therefore, we must "capture" him at the very beginning!
Facts have proved that Mr. Gu is not a soft persimmon. As soon as he gave in, he made a new proposal: "If you don't let me help you, I will send you a secret guard when you return home. You won't
I will refuse again!"
Ye Qinglan was startled: "I'm surrounded by secret guards. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
Gu Xinian explained calmly: "I will choose a female secret guard for you. She will keep it by your side as a maid on weekdays. She will not be conspicuous at all. If there is an emergency, she will be able to help you in time.
Send me a message."
It sounds good, but if you refuse again, it will be really shameless. Ye Qinglan nodded and agreed.
