Gu Nian looked at Lu Shiqian, and the light and shadow happened to hit him from behind, falling on him impartially, gentle and hot.
She hurriedly lowered her eyes, "I can do it myself."
Lu Shiqian's eyes dimmed as he watched her dodge.
But after a while, a sense of hope rose in his heart, and there was some progress today.
If he could go one step further...
At this moment, Gu Nian wiped her hair until it was half dry, and stuffed all the bath towels and hand towels into his hands, "Today... thank you, but we should go back."
She hurriedly opened the car door and turned to hug Yubao.
Lu Shiqian helped Yu Bao, "How about I take you back?"
"Need not."
Gu Nian quickly refused.
This situation was really embarrassing now. If he were to send them back, he would be putting her on the fire.
She didn't look at him, her movements were slightly panicked, "I drove here."
"Well, okay."
Lu Shiqian nodded, his wet white shirt vaguely showing the color of his skin, and his voice seemed to be tainted by the heat in the air, scorching and low, "Then you drive slower on the way back."
Gu Nian didn't dare to look around, and the temperature on her face was getting higher and higher.
This feeling made her irritable.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, she hugged Yu Bao and strode away without even looking back.
Although she walked neatly, she seemed to be running away inexplicably.
Lu Shiqian kept watching her figure disappear from the end of his sight, with deep meaning in his eyes, and finally he laughed and got into the driver's seat.
…
On the other side, after discussing with Lin Yichen, Yao Bao came out of the amusement park and prepared to go to Dinosaur City.
"Uncle Lin..."
The little guy raised his head and glanced at him, changed the gesture of holding hands, and said tentatively: "Did you do anything wrong to mommy before? I think mommy's mood seems wrong."
When Lin Yichen heard this, a look of sadness flashed across his face.
"Yao Bao."
He stopped and knelt down in front of the little guy, "Uncle Lin was wrong about what happened before and didn't think carefully, so there were some inappropriate words and deeds that made your mommy angry."
Yao Bao tilted his head and frowned.
"Does Uncle Lin know that he was wrong now?"
"Well, I know I was wrong." Lin Yichen looked at him sincerely, "So, can Yaobao help Uncle Lin say something nice in front of Mommy so that Mommy can forgive Uncle Lin?"
"this……"
Yao Bao thought for a moment, "This is Mommy's business, I can't decide for her."
Lin Yichen didn't mean to force him, "Uncle knows, but at least Yaobao can persuade mommy not to avoid Uncle Lin, okay? Otherwise, Uncle Lin won't be able to see you."
Yao Bao stared at him for a while, feeling that his attitude was quite sincere, and he probably wasn't going too far.
"Okay...but let's make an agreement first. Uncle Lin can't make mom sad anymore."
"Okay." Lin Yichen agreed with a smile, and took him to Dinosaur City for an afternoon, visiting all the places he had not seen in the morning.
Yao Bao was very happy, holding Lin Yichen's hand and not letting go, and talked happily.
"Uncle Lin, did you see that Tyrannosaurus rex just now? It's really lifelike! Right? Isn't it super cool?"
"Yes." Lin Yichen looked at the beaming expression on his face, and his mood relaxed a lot, "Is there anything else you want to see? Uncle Lin will take you there."
"No!"
Yao Bao was in high spirits, but he knew what was going on, "It's quite late now, let's go back, Uncle Lin!"
"Are you tired? Uncle Lin gives you a hug." Lin Yichen leaned over and picked him up, striding towards the parking lot with his long legs.
"How about you go back and play with Uncle Lin for a few days? We haven't seen you for such a long time. Uncle Lin misses you very much."
"Go back with you?"
Yao Bao lowered his head and thought for a while, looking serious.
Judging from Uncle Lin's behavior and what he said today, it feels like he is still the good Uncle Lin he was before, and he didn't mean to hurt Mommy.
Moreover, it is true that he has not played with Uncle Lin for a long time.
"Okay then!" He nodded.
Anyway, he had been living in the Lin family before, so going back with him this time was equivalent to going home.
When Lin Yichen heard his promise, he raised the corners of his lips and quickened his pace.
…
At the same time, Gu Nian drove home and just parked the car at the door, when another car came and parked in front of the door of the next door house.
She looked at it and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
That man really insisted on living opposite her and was an eyesore!
I don’t know what the point of doing this is?
Yu Bao also saw it, turned his head to look around, and said happily with uncontrollable excitement in his voice: "Mommy, isn't that Daddy's car?"
"Um."
Gu Nian's voice was a bit muffled, "He wants to go back to his home, it has nothing to do with us."
"Oh...that's it!"
Yu Bao agreed, but he was still very happy.
I haven't seen daddy for a long time, but now that they are so close, they can see him at any time!
"Mommy, does Daddy live next to us? Why doesn't he live with us?"
Speaking of this, Gu Nian became upset.
"Yubao." She tried her best to sound calm, "He will not live with us in the future. Mommy hopes you understand."
"Oh...I know, Mommy."
Yu Bao promised her, but still looked back, feeling very sad.
She must do something to help daddy!
Gu Nian glanced at it, but was too lazy to pay attention. After turning off the engine, he took Yubao out of the car.
After taking just two steps, she actually saw the old man from before again!
He was still followed by his assistant, standing at the door with a cane, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Miss Gu, you are finally back."
Mr. Huo's attitude was quite good, but the assistant behind him kept frowning, and his frosty expression showed extreme impatience, as if he would get angry at any time.
Gu Nian's footsteps stopped and her heart tightened.
Last time, I felt that their purpose was not pure, and I thought I would just let them go, but I didn’t expect that they would appear again this time...
What is it for?
Looking for L's apprentice...is it because of Yao Bao?
She protected Yu Bao and looked at the two well-dressed people in front of her with vigilance, "What are you doing here again?"
Mr. Huo smiled warmly, "Miss Gu, I still want to talk to you. Can you find a quiet place and give me ten minutes?"
When Gu Nian heard that he even knew his last name, he became even more worried.
But she knew that she couldn't confront them forcefully. If the other party really had any intention, there would be no benefit in irritating them.
"I...I still have something to do at home. I don't know what you said last time."
Gu Nian glanced behind him.
His assistant happened to block the door in a clever way. If she wanted to get in, she had to pass by them and there was no way around it.
"The old gentleman should go find the right person instead of wasting his time with me."
The old man walked up to him, his smile unabated.
"You are the person we are looking for."
Gu Nian's hand holding Yu Bao's hand tightened unconsciously, she was full of guard but helpless, even inevitably worried.
What if these people keep staring at them?
She didn't say anything, and Mr. Huo didn't urge her.
As soon as Lu Shiqian got out of the car, he felt that something was not right in front of him.
He frowned and walked over in a few steps to block the mother and daughter. "What's the matter, old sir? You might as well tell me right here."
Mr. Huo had been staring at Gu Nian, but he didn't expect a man to appear suddenly. He was a little angry at first, but when his eyes moved to that face, his expression suddenly changed.
