Duan Zhaoan took Gu Chen, who didn't look embarrassed at all, and answered Ni Qianling's question, "It's only better than my uncle's, not worse. After all, my aunt once said that my uncle is old and sallow, and he is not as young as he used to be."
…
"You...didn't tell your uncle?" Ni Qianling asked tremblingly, fearing that he would be tricked by his sinister nephew.
Duan Zhaoan raised his eyebrows, and said a few words that were incomprehensible, "Gu Chen has a poor face, please show mercy to me."
Gu Chen...is short of face??!!
The three sisters-in-law, including Uncle Li, looked at Gu Chen who was calm and composed, and couldn't tell that she was losing face.
Ni Qianling silently...went into the kitchen to prepare the meal. She asked her husband to come back to avenge her.
He had too many unspeakable "handicaps" in his hands. As an elder, he could only be bullied, which was so shameless.
With the incident involving Ni Qianling, Qin Weilan carefully thought about whether she had any leverage against her nephew. After thinking about it, she felt...it would be better to say less.
In short, after lunch, even Mr. Duan, who had not returned home, knew about Gu Chen's vigorous deeds.
Gu Chen was held back until he was about to spurt blood three feet away. If he really wanted to fall in love with him, Duan Zhaoan would forget it! But he obviously didn't do anything! He would vomit blood after taking the blame.
Duan Zhaoan was in a good mood all day, and he accepted the joking looks from his elders calmly at the dinner table. The elders all knew that Gu Chen was powerful, even the old man said... Regardless of his Duan identity, his strength was far inferior to that of Gu Chen.
This is indeed a blow to a man, but it is better to recognize the reality and work hard to catch up, than to try to catch up. The mutual training with her, the scenery seen side by side, and the road traveled are definitely the most beautiful moments in his life.
Without her, life will be bleak no matter how far you go.
For Ye Rongxuan, it was a heavy blow that her nephew could accept a girl. Although Gu Chen's initiative really shocked her, but when she thought about her nephew's cold temperament,... maybe she had to let the girl go.
The child needs to take the initiative.
After lunch, Qin Weilan needs to go back to his workplace. Ten days later, several EU politicians will meet with Chinese leaders, and Qin Weilan needs to make intense preparations.
Ye Rongxuan has a habit of taking a lunch break. At noon, the Duan family is so quiet that you can hear the sound of a needle dropping.
"Young Master, do you think you should take... Young Mistress... take Miss Gu upstairs to have a rest? The old man may have to come back later." Uncle Li did not have a lunch break habit, so he sent some fruits back to the four guards on duty at the Duan family.
Then he said "a little reminder".
Young Master Zhao'an is the one with a thin face. He has been through this and naturally he has to think more about the young master.
As if he could tell what he was thinking, Duan Zhaoan stood up gracefully and said to Gu Chen, "I'll show you something."
In Zhaoan's bedroom at the end of the second floor, he found two thick photo albums from a row of cabinets, patted the spotless fabric sofa, and motioned for Gu Chen to sit down, "These were originally placed in my uncle's study, but I moved them later.
Go and keep it in your room."
He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes covered the coldness in his eyes, "They are all my brother's photo albums, from childhood to adulthood... until he joined the army. This photo album records his growth throughout his life."
Gu Chen's heart trembled slightly, she seemed to...understand what Duan Zhaoan was going to say.
He lowered his eyes slightly and saw that the hand holding the photo album, which was always calm, was shaking a little. Gu Chen pursed his lips and fixed his gaze on the last photo in the album.
