As soon as Gu Nan got in the car, Ye Lao called and asked her to meet at Haitang Pavilion.
She looked at Fu Yunchen beside her: "I can't accompany you to investigate the case in the afternoon. I have to go to Haitang Pavilion."
Fu Yunchen nodded: "I'll take you to Haitang Pavilion first."
"good!"
half an hour later
Outside the Haitang Pavilion
After Gu Nan got off the car, he walked straight in.
In the car, Fu Yunchen watched Gu Nan's leaving figure through the car window. As if he felt something, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at a window on the second floor.
The window door was half open, and a tall figure could be vaguely seen standing there.
"Anruo, Nan will be here soon."
An Ruo looked away, and Ye Lao's voice came from behind. He turned around and walked back to the dining table.
"I'll go out and pick her up."
Ye Lao smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, you are so thoughtful. I just forgot to tell her which private room we booked."
In fact, he just "forgot" on purpose and wanted to create a chance for An Ruo and Nan Yi to be alone together.
When Ye Lao was on the phone, An Ruo was standing by. He was very attentive and thoughtful, so he could naturally tell what the old man had overlooked in his words.
"I'll pick her up right now."
As soon as Gu Nan walked into the lobby, the front desk staff saw her coming and greeted her warmly.
"Miss Gu, Mr. Ye is in Rongqing Yaju on the second floor. I'll take you up."
"No need, I'll go there myself."
Gu Nan walked straight to the stairs on the second floor. As soon as he stepped onto the steps, he saw a figure walking slowly down from above.
As the two passed each other, a gentle and gentle voice came from beside them.
"It must be Kuichi."
Gu Nan's expression was slightly startled, he stopped and looked sideways at the other party.
The man in front of her looked at her with a smile. Just like his voice, his appearance was elegant and clean. He was wearing a beige shirt with a white T-shirt underneath. It was a very casual and simple combination.
But his body seemed to be integrated into one body, spotless.
Gu Nan quickly looked at the other person and asked: "Who are you?"
The man stretched out his right hand: "An Ruo."
Upon hearing this name, Gu Nan instantly understood the other person's identity.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and it turned out that he was An Ruo, whom grandpa always valued highly.
It is said that he is an orphan who was raised by Ye Lao since he was a child.
She stretched out her hand.
"Grandpa asked you to pick me up?"
An Ruo always had a slight smile on her face, and her calm eyes stared at the girl in front of her without any desire or thought, as clean as if there was no dust mixed in with her.
"Lao Ye just forgot to tell you which private room we are in. I'm afraid you won't be able to find it later, so he asked me to come out and pick you up. Let's go, he is waiting for us in the private room."
Gu Nan nodded, feeling a little strange in her heart. Her first impression of An Ruo had an indescribable feeling.
I couldn't describe that feeling in words for a while. I always felt like I was in an empty and unreal world when I stared at his face and listened to his words.
Why do you feel this way?

Come to the private room
Ye Lao and A Yu were sitting at the dining table, waiting for them.
"Grandpa." Gu Nan walked straight towards Ye Lao.
"Nan is here, come and sit." Ye Lao smiled and waved.
Hearing Gu Nanyi's voice, Ayu, who was playing with building blocks, suddenly raised his head, and his dark eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden.
He put down the blocks in his hand, jumped off the chair and ran to Gu Nanyi.
Somewhat timidly, he stretched out his little hand and grabbed the corner of Gu Nanyi's clothes.
Those eyes stared straight at her.
Gu Nan smiled at him: "Ayu, what have you been studying recently? Are you good or not?"
Ayu blinked his big eyes and said nothing. He turned around and ran back to his place. After a while, he brought the thing he just played with to Gu Nanyi and showed it to her like a treasure.
Gu Nan reached out and took it. When he looked at it from a distance, he thought it was a building block. But when he looked carefully, he saw that it was a Luban lock, and it was the most difficult "81".
This kind of lock, just like its name, requires 81 squares without any mistakes before it can be truly assembled.
At present, there are only a handful of people in the world who can perfectly assemble the "81 levels". It seems that Ayu has assembled 34 levels so far. It is amazing to be able to play Luban Lock at such a young age.
"Ayu, you are already very good at assembling it to this point." Gu Nan praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ayu stretched out her little hand and tapped the Luban lock, then pointed at Gu Nanyi.
"You want me to teach you how to assemble it?"
A Yu showed a faint smile in his eyes and nodded.
Ye Lao on the side said: "A Yu, your sister Nan hasn't eaten yet. Can I help you assemble it after eating?" Ye Lao asked warmly.
A Yu obviously received what Ye Lao said, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded in agreement.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Lao and An Ruo were both surprised.
"Nan Yi, only if you show up will A Yu's reaction be positive. When we talk to him, whether he responds or not depends entirely on his mood." Ye Lao shook his head helplessly.
An Ruo on the side said: "This is the first time I have seen Ayu like to stick to someone so much. Usually he prefers to stay alone in the room."
Gu Nan looked at A Yu: "It seems that A Yu is recovering very well."
Ye Lao's face was full of joy: "I am very satisfied that A Yu can perform as he does now."
"Don't worry, Grandpa, Ayu will be like a normal child in two years."
"Well, grandpa believes that with your ability, you can cure A Yu."
Looking at Gu Nanyi and A Yu, Ye Lao's eyes were full of pride.
He said to An Ruo as if he was offering a treasure: "My Nan Yi is the little lucky star of our Ye family. Since our ancestors and grandsons recognized each other, not only has the knot in my heart for many years been opened, but A Yu's condition has also gradually improved. It's so good."
Girl, I'm wondering which boy is so lucky to marry her in the future."
Gu Nan blinked her long eyelashes and thought to herself: Why did you get involved in this matter again?
I do have a goal, but you don't agree.
An Ruo looked at Gu Nanyi with a smile: "Nan Yi's medical skills are so good at such a young age. It's really shocking."
Ye Lao smiled and said: "Nan Yi is not only good at medical skills, she is also excellent at identifying treasures. Jade jewelry, cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, as long as you can get it, Nan Yi can definitely help you identify the authenticity..."
Seeing that Ye Lao's praise was almost limitless, the door of the box rang in time, interrupting the old man's conversation.
An Ruo stood up and opened the door. It was someone from Haitang Restaurant who brought food in.
Ye Lao said: "You are all hungry, let's eat first."
Ayu quietly changed his position next to Gu Nanyi, who liked the child very much.
During the meal, I kept helping him pick up the food.
"Ayu, what do you want to eat?"
A Yu pointed at the sweet and sour shrimp tails. Gu Nan picked up the chopsticks and picked up two shrimp tails and put them on his plate. A Yu's calves were swaying slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
