Early the next morning, as soon as Gu Nian got up to have breakfast, Yan Yan came.
He placed a delicate small box on the table and said respectfully to Gu Nian: "Young mistress, this is what Master Fu asked me to send to you."
"Yeah." Gu Nian's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly. She reached out and took the small box over, but did not open it. She knew it was her mother's pendant, which she got back from the mistress her father kept outside.
.
She held the small box in her palm until it hurt so much that she slowly let go. Then she raised her eyes to look at Yan Yan and asked, "My dad, has he come home?"
Gu Nian asked Fu Yanxiao last night. Although Fu Yanxiao didn't tell her, she could guess that her father was taken away by Fu Yanxiao's people, and he might even get a beating. Although that person was annoying and hateful, it was her after all.
Dad, it's impossible for her not to care and not ask.
She neither knew nor dared to ask about Fu Yanxiao's affairs, but she wanted to know if her father was injured and whether it was serious.
"Yes." Strictly nodded expressionlessly, not saying a word extra.
He is Fu Yanxiao's personal bodyguard and knows what to say and what not to say.
Gu Nian suddenly felt a little discouraged and didn't want to ask any more questions because he knew he wouldn't get anything out of it.
"Thank you." Gu Nian raised the small box in his hand, then nodded to Strictly, and said, "I have nothing to do, go and do your work!"
"Yes." Strictly turned around and left the riverside garden.
Gu Nian stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon. Suddenly she lost her appetite. She dropped the spoon and grabbed the small box at hand to get up and go upstairs.
Fu Yanxiao came out of the study, and as soon as he came downstairs, he saw Gu Nian leaving the dining table with a bad expression. He glanced at the bowl of porridge with more than half of it left, and asked, "Don't want to eat?"
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Well, maybe I didn't sleep well last night and I didn't have much appetite this morning."
Fu Yanxiao walked up to her in a few steps, glanced at her clenched fisted hand indifferently, and became convinced, but knowingly asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
Gu Nian unconsciously tightened her grip, then spread her hands to place the small box out and said, "I just sent the things here strictly."
The moment Fu Yanxiao raised his hand, Gu Nian thought he wanted to take something in her hand. She instinctively shrank her hand. It wasn't until Fu Yanxiao's hand fell on her shoulder that she realized she had mistaken her intention.
This thing was originally given to her by Fu Yanxiao's instructions. If he was so rare, how could he still give it to her?
Thinking of this, Gu Nian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and ashamed.
She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Fu Yanxiao, and asked in a low voice, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet." Fu Yanxiao didn't seem to notice her movements. He put his arm around her shoulders and led her to the dining table, saying, "Eat some more with me."
Gu Nian didn't have much appetite, but she still sat down with him obediently, helped him fill up half the bowl of porridge, and continued to eat the remaining bowl of porridge.
After finally finishing the rest of the porridge, Gu Nian turned his head to look at Fu Yanxiao and asked, "Are you going to the company later?"
"Huh?" Fu Yanxiao looked at Gu Nian with raised eyebrows.
Gu Nian pursed her lips and said: "Last night, my parents said they would go back to the old house early today. I want to go there after breakfast. If you have something to go to the company, I will ask Uncle Li to drive me there."
