The air froze for a few seconds before her calm voice rang out in the room.
"Mr. Ling, what's your motive for asking about my family? You can't be here to propose marriage, right? "
Ling Han furrowed his brows. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "I'm married."
"What a coincidence. So am I."
Ye Huanyan's lips curled up. Her smile was exceptionally enchanting, as though she wasn't talking about morality at all.
Or rather, she didn't care about morality at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
"Close the door when you leave. I want to take a shower." With that, Ye Huanyan took the lead and entered the bathroom.
"Bada", a sound came from the bathroom door, causing the whole bedroom to tremble a few times.
Ling Han snapped back to his senses and turned around to leave.
After that, the two of them didn't see each other alone until they reached the port.
Before getting off the boat, Ling Han vaguely saw her figure among the crowd of Gu family members. It was as though he could smell her unique sweet scent through the crowd. When he got off the boat, he was distracted. If it weren't for Daniel's quick reflexes, he would have fallen into the sea.
Ye Huanyan had already followed her parents and brother into the extended Bentley parked at the port.
When she heard the sound in the distance, she couldn't help but turn around to look out the window.
"What's wrong? Do you want to get off? "
Gu Sinian's voice came from beside her.
Before Ye Huanyan could speak, Wen Yi's unhappy voice rang out in the car.
"Get off what? Niannian, what's wrong with you today? Not only did you bring that Ling Han onto the boat, but you even urged Yan Yan to get off the car to look for him? Have you forgotten how Ling Han treated Yan Yan previously? "
As she spoke, Wen Yi held Ye Huanyan's hand and said indignantly, "Yan Yan, you don't need this kind of person. With us around in the future, no one will dare to bully you."
"Who bullied Mommy?"
Naonnao, who was sitting in the child seat opposite her, looked up from the game console and blinked at his grandmother. "Grandma, who did you say bullied Mommy?"
"Who else could it be? It's you …"
"Ahem …" A cough interrupted Wen Yi's words.
Ye Huanyan raised her head and looked at Naonnao's side. Gu Ming was currently frowning, and there was obvious displeasure in the depths of his eyes. This displeasure was naturally directed at Ling Han, but he still spoke up in time to stop Wen Yi's complaints.
Children shouldn't know too much about the grudges of adults.
Wen Yi knew that she had misspoken. She took a deep breath and explained, "No one bullied Mommy. If anyone did, Grandma and Grandma would be the first to settle the score with him."
Gu Sinian's voice sounded in the car. "Drive, James."
Five years ago, when Gu Sinian had just brought Ye Huanyan back, the Gu family had fallen into a haze.
Wen Yi was such a gentle and kind person. She had cried and slapped Gu Sinian, questioning him why he hadn't brought Ye Huanyan back earlier and allowed her to suffer so much by Ling Han's side.
The news in the country had originally been suppressed by Gu Sinian, and this was also Ye Huanyan's idea. However, when she saw that her daughter was burned to the point of no return, not only Wen Yi, but even the usually calm Gu Heng was enraged.
That year, Pleasure's stock had plummeted. Its subsidiaries had all closed down, and the entire company had almost been restructured. If Ye Huanyan had not pleaded for mercy before she was pushed into the operating room due to dystocia, the Gu family had originally planned to suppress Pleasure until the stock market crashed and the company completely closed down within half a year.
The more guilty her parents felt towards her, the more disgusted they felt towards Ling Han.
A private jet was parked on the tarmac of the Gu family. After the Gu family had all boarded the jet, it flew directly to the Four Seasons Villa.
That was Ye Huanyan's real home. It was the first time in five years that she had set foot there.
At the Los Angeles airport, the boarding announcement was broadcasted. The passengers in the cabin were gradually seated.
Daniel was going back to China with Ling Han to discuss the development of the company's holiday resort chain, so they were on the same flight to China.
After sitting down, Ling Han looked out of the window with an uneasy look on his face.
"Are you still thinking about the second daughter of the Gu family?"
Daniel joked. Ling Han's face darkened a little, and he did not say a word.
Daniel continued, "I heard that the second daughter of the Gu family was just found five years ago. She had been missing for more than twenty years, so no one had heard of her before. As soon as she was found, the Gu family treated her like the apple of their eye. All the properties in the state of Florida are under her name, including the bar we drank at last night."
Ling Han leaned back in his chair and said casually, "Is that so? Then she's quite doted on. "
No wonder she always treated him with such arrogance and disdain.
She had the right to do so.
"What's her name?"
He suddenly remembered that he still did not know her name, so he asked casually.
Daniel's eyes lit up. "You're finally asking me about her. It's rare that you're interested in something."
Ling Han's eyes were cold. He pressed the button to adjust the seat beside him. "Call me when we arrive. I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Hey, are you still listening?"
"…"
"Her name is Gu Huanyan. She grew up in China and was just brought back by Gu Sinian five years ago. She should be in her thirties now, but her looks and temperament are undeniable …"
When he heard the words' Gu Huanyan ', Ling Han suddenly let go of his hand and looked at Daniel with a stiff expression. "What did you say her name was?"
"Gu Huanyan."
How could there be such a coincidence?
Ling Han felt like his brain was about to explode. Six years ago, Gu Sinian suddenly appeared by Ye Huanyan's side. Five years ago, Ye Huanyan had an accident on the mountain road and her body was nowhere to be found. Gu Sinian, who was so protective of her, also disappeared without a trace. He did not even ask him a single question about Ye Huanyan's accident.
Five years ago … the second daughter of the Gu family, Gu Huanyan, Gu Sinian …
Last night in the bar, the words Gu Huanyan had told him, the story about her friend.
It was as if there was a string that was connected.
"Hey, Ling Han, where are you going?"
Daniel exclaimed and watched as Ling Han suddenly got up and rushed out of the cabin before the stewardess closed the door.
"Sir …"
"Hey …"
Ling Han did not know if what he was thinking was the truth, but he knew that there was a glimmer of hope. For this glimmer of hope, he could not leave.
Gu Huanyan, Ye Huanyan.
It was clearly a completely different face, but they had the same name. He knew that it was impossible, but his body seemed to be telling him that he had to stay here and find out.
He had to find out if she was really her, or if she was related to her.
The Four Seasons Villa. The Four Seasons Villa originated from the fact that the flowers of the four seasons bloomed at the same time all year round.
Naonnao often stayed here, so he was very familiar with the villa. The tarmac was on the sea, so to enter the villa, one had to take the waterway and take a boat to the entrance of the villa.
Gu Sinian first brought Ye Huanyan to his courtyard to familiarize himself with the environment. Gu Heng left first because she had something to deal with, leaving Wen Yi to hold Ye Huanyan's hand and go with her.
"West Court is in a good location. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it's also close to South Court …" Wen Yi's voice was filled with joy. Her daughter had been back for more than five years, but this was the first time she had entered the house. She was very happy at the thought of living together as a family in the future.
