Seeing Mu Yunhan, Mr. Gu felt a little embarrassed and muttered, trying to explain: "Xiao Shi is growing up and cannot always be with women. The elder brother is like a father..."
He stopped, feeling more and more embarrassed the more he explained.
You know, when Gu Fenglin was a child, his real father had never cared for and accompanied him like this.
Now let's talk about elder brothers being like fathers, especially since Gu Fenglin's life and death are unknown, which is ironic no matter how you look at it.
Mu Yunhan said nothing. When Lu Yao took Gu Xiaoshi away, she said: "No need to explain, I don't think Alin will care."
Mr. Gu lowered his head nonchalantly, but then glanced at Gu Yilan warily.
Among all the owners of the Guhou Mansion, except for him who knew that Gu Yilan was pretending to be Gu Fenglin, no one else knew.
That was all when Mu Yunhan was not at home. Now that she was back, he was inevitably worried that Gu Yilan would take advantage of her.
Gu Yilan showed no expression at all, just like Gu Fenglin's usual attitude towards Mr. Gu.
Mrs. Zhou rushed over: "Why are you standing here? The food is ready, come in and eat!"
Mr. Gu Er and his wife always had a grudge in their hearts, so they made excuses to leave after showing up.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhou has been greeting Mu Yunhan: "Are you feeling better now? I see you have lost a lot of weight."
Mu Yunhan answered patiently, chatting and laughing with her.
Suddenly, Gu Yilan put a piece of fish meat on Mu Yunhan's plate, and said naturally: "This shad is steamed well, you can try it."
Mrs. Zhou laughed and said, "Alin is always considerate towards his wife. Eat it while it's hot."
Mr. Gu lowered his head, raised his eyes from under his eyebrows and stared at Mu Yunhan, as if he was afraid that she would eat fish.
Mu Yunhan was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled at Gu Yilan, ate it naturally, and praised: "It's delicious."
Gu Yilan raised the corners of her lips and lowered her head to eat.
Mu Yunhan was made nervous by him, fearing that he would pick up food for her again unexpectedly, but he didn't pick up any more food until he finished eating.
After the meal was finished, Mrs. Zhou left with Gu Fengyuan's daughter-in-law. Mr. Gu stood up and said, "Daughter-in-law Alin, come with me."
Gu Yilan's hand that was drinking tea paused, and she raised her eyes and looked at Mu Yunhan and Mr. Gu with bright eyes.
Mu Yunhan followed Mr. Gu out of the room, and she could still feel his gaze fixed on her back, like a thorn in her back.
She thought, was Gu Yilan worried that she and Mr. Gu would team up to deal with him?
The shadow of the candle flickered red, and the night became darker by three points.
Mr. Gu covered his face and cried bitterly: "...I am sorry for Ah Lin. I regret it very much. If you can make up for it, I can do whatever you want..."
Before Gu Yilan returned to Lanjing, she had told him about the situation at that time.
He was very sad, but he didn't lose control and shed tears in front of Gu Yilan.
Two years later, when he heard Mu Yunhan describe the situation at that time again with a calm voice and a dull expression, he couldn't help it anymore.
He had never been a sentimental person, but at this moment, he somehow understood why she was so calm and indifferent.
Because I have recalled the relevant scenes too many times, and after crying and heartbreaking over and over again, only numbness and calmness will remain.
Mu Yunhan looked at Mr. Gu calmly, not moved by his sadness, and did not reveal any information about Xingxing to him.
Mr. Gu found it boring to cry alone. He wiped his tears and said, "What are your plans for the future?"
You can't keep pretending to be a couple with Gu Yilan like this.
