In the end, Gu Heng's sword did not fall. When he said in a hoarse voice, "You can go. For Yan Yan's sake, I will consider it." Ye Huanyan felt that her father was really old.
She had never seen her father when he was young, but she had heard from Gu Sinian that he did not care about anyone's opinion. He lived a carefree and unrestrained life. Just because the mercenaries injured Wen Yi's arm, he could cut off all the tendons in their hands and feet. He was tyrannical and cold.
But now, he compromised for her.
The sound of the door opening and closing rang twice, one opening and the other closing.
Gu Heng was the only one left in the room. He removed the protective mask on his head and sat cross-legged. After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Yan Yan, isn't it stuffy in the closet?"
Ye Huanyan's expression stiffened. She slowly opened the closet and climbed out.
"Father."
"Come and sit."
Gu Heng's expression was normal. He looked at her lovingly and patted the cushion beside him.
She was stunned and moved over. The father and daughter sat side by side, leaning against the wall and looking at the empty room.
"When did you know I was in here? When I opened the closet? "
"I knew as soon as I came in."
Gu Heng's voice was very low, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
"So powerful? I don't believe it. Ah Bao must have told you at the door. "
Gu Ming did not explain. He wiped the sword with a cloth. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you blaming me for hurting him? "
Ye Huanyan quickly shook her head. "I know you have already been merciful."
If he had used all his strength, if he had not deliberately left some leeway in his hand, he would have been injured or killed. How could there be a compromise of only two drops of blood?
"It is said that it is easier to calm down when one is old. Your mother and I are getting angrier as we live. In the past few years, we have been arguing more than before. The older we are, the worse we are."
"I'm sorry, Dad." Ye Huanyan was a little upset. "If it weren't for my mother, she wouldn't always quarrel with you."
She knew that Wen Yi had a bad temper, but she was not an unreasonable person. All these years, most of the reasons for quarreling with Gu Heng were because of her. When she was wandering outside, she blamed him for not coming to Huxian County earlier. When she came back, she blamed him for not bringing her back earlier, causing her to change beyond recognition.
"It's not your fault, Yan Yan. After you came back, although your mother and I still quarreled, it didn't end in silence. Those years when you weren't back, I really couldn't do anything."
In those years, she had a daughter who was as old as Ye Huanyan. She had brought her to the villa in the hope that she could make up for Wen Yi. However, as time went by, Gu Duo grew up, and Wen Yi felt sad. She always thought that somewhere overseas, her daughter should be around the same age.
It was time for her to go to school, right? Was she studying? Was she bullied? Was she hungry?
"So, Yan Yan, your return is the greatest comfort to me and your mother in this life. Every year on your birthday, your mother would make a wish for you, hoping that you would come back earlier. She said that it was her only wish in life, but people are always greedy …"
Gu Heng sighed. His brows were dyed with the vicissitudes of life and helplessness. "After you came back, we would think that it would be great if you could be healthy and happy. How could you come back covered in wounds?"
"Dad, aren't I fine?"
"But you still suffered for five years."
"It's all in the past. You and my mother have to relax. I'm already much happier than the average person. I can be with the person I like, Naonnao, and you guys. I'm very satisfied."
"Yes, one should be satisfied. After you get married, you still have to come back often to see me and your mother."
"Dad … you agreed?"
Ye Huanyan was at a loss.
Gu Heng's attitude was so strong. In the past few days since Ling Han came, he had been treating him like air. Today, it was rare for him to speak, so he stabbed him. It didn't seem like he agreed.
Gu Heng seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of warmth appeared in her eyes. She didn't answer Ye Huanyan's question directly. "Nian should have told you about what happened between me and your mother. After all, I'm not in a position to blame Ling Han. We all have our ridiculous times when we were young."
Ye Huanyan shifted the cushion and leaned on Gu Heng's shoulder. She smiled. "My brother said that back then, you ran away after seducing my mother. My mother carried my brother and chased you across the Atlantic Ocean. After running through more than ten countries, she finally caught you and forced you to take responsibility."
When Gu Heng was young, he was a playboy. When he saw a girl, he couldn't help but go up to her. In addition, he became famous at a young age. He was a legend, so he had many admirers. He had many women around him. It was easy to say, but if you put yourself in Wen Yi's shoes, it was actually very torturous.
It was rare for her to have a chance to be alone with her father. She listened to him talk about many interesting things from back then. There were even some that Wen Yi didn't know about. The two of them chatted for a long time as if they were exchanging secrets.
After leaving the fencing room, Ye Huanyan ran to North Court.
She started banging on the door.
She couldn't wait to tell Ling Han the good news. The haze of the past few days had made them unhappy, and Gu Heng's understanding of him was undoubtedly a stimulant that could reinvigorate them.
"Ling Han, let me tell you, my father..."
The second half of Ye Huanyan's sentence was stuck in her throat when she saw the person who opened the door. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Why are you here? Why are you here? "
He Chaoqun was standing at the entrance wearing baggy pants and a striped T-shirt. He looked at her with a half-smile. "I'm a guest. What's wrong with me staying here? Sis? "
"Didn't Uncle He go back?"
Ji Xiaoyue had made it very clear on the phone.
"My father went back, but that doesn't mean I went back." He Chaoqun opened the door. "Aunt Gu asked me to stay here for a while. It just so happens that I can take photos of all the ancient buildings here. It'll make it easier for me to design the opera house."
He stepped aside to let her in. "What are you doing here so late at night? Come in."
Ye Huanyan hesitated and stood at the door. "Are you alone?"
"He's in the bedroom. He's taking a shower. I think... Hey, where are you going?"
He Chaoqun's eyes followed Ye Huanyan's back view as she went upstairs. He couldn't stop her.
The sound of running water in the bathroom washed away the blood stains on the tiles.
Ling Han looked at the wound on his shoulder. It wasn't too serious, and he had already bandaged it. After putting on a bathrobe, he turned off the tap and grabbed a towel to dry his hair before walking out of the bathroom.
When he walked to the end of the bed, he frowned slightly. There was an obvious bulge in the bedsheets.
When he saw the familiar gray coat on the sofa, the coldness in his eyes melted a little and was dyed with a layer of warmth. He quietly lifted a corner of the quilt and sat under it.
Someone, who had been hiding under the quilt for a while, gasped for breath. She poked her head out from under the quilt against his chest. Her little face was red from the suffocation. She smiled and rubbed his chin. "Are you surprised?"
"How long have you been hiding? Don't you feel stuffy? "Ling Han rubbed her head.
