Hearing the word son-in-law, Gu Qingcheng's brows furrowed slightly, feeling particularly heartbroken.
There was a rare hint of irritation in his eyes. He unbuttoned another button on his shirt and pushed the tiles into the automatic mahjong machine with a cigarette in his mouth.
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows and gave Lu Jinnan a look. He knew it was impossible for Gu Qingcheng not to have feelings for Yun Liuli …
All these years, Gu Qingcheng only had Yun Liuli by his side. Although she was an adopted daughter, how could she be considered an adopted daughter? She was already 16 when she was brought to Gu Qingcheng's side. At most, he gave her a place to stay and food to eat, but he didn't care about her at all.
The child had been brought to Gu Qingcheng's side for a year, but Gu Qingcheng didn't have the intention of giving her pocket money. It was only when Tang Zheng said that children nowadays needed the freedom to manage their money that Gu Qingcheng suddenly remembered to call the butler to prepare pocket money for Yun Liuli every month.
Yun Liuli wasn't brought up by Gu Qingcheng, and the age difference between them wasn't enough for them to be fathers. In such a situation, it was easy to develop different feelings for each other, and the person involved didn't even know it.
After rearranging the tiles, Gu Qingcheng bit his cigarette and played a tile. He got up and said that he was going to make a call.
Gu Qingcheng came out of the room and made a call, asking someone to immediately investigate Yun Liuli's classmate, Zhong Qingfei, and to send the information over immediately.
Gu Qingcheng's voice was filled with accumulated anger, and Fu Huai 'an happened to hear it when he came over.
Fu Huai 'an smiled. Seeing Gu Qingcheng hang up the phone and frown as he took a puff of his cigarette, he walked over and stood next to Gu Qingcheng with his hands in his pockets, looking at the nearby Nanshan Mountains. "I've seen the child Xiao Liuli brought. He should be an ordinary classmate. Don't think too much."
Gu Qingcheng frowned even more and replied slowly, "It's her freedom to have a boyfriend. I don't care, but Liuli is inexperienced, innocent, and vulnerable. I'll only be at ease after I investigate the people around her."
Fu Huai 'an didn't say much. He patted Gu Qingcheng on the shoulder, then pushed open the door and entered the mahjong room.
Fu Huai 'an's friends had set up a table.
Over there, the Lin family had set up a mahjong table. Even Uncle Blessing was dragged to the mahjong table to play cards. In the yard downstairs, Cen Mo and Lin Ran were playing with Tuan Tuan. Aunt Blessing went into the kitchen to cook delicious food for Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan. The atmosphere was very lively.
After placing the soundly asleep Yuan Yuan into the cradle, Yun Liuli leaned against the edge of the cradle and stared at Yuan Yuan. Her eyes, which were as bright as glass, seemed a little out of focus, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
"The guy you brought today, is he your boyfriend?" Lin Nuan asked as she covered Yuan Yuan with a blanket.
Yun Liuli rested her face on the arm that was resting on the edge of the cradle. She gazed at Lin Nuan and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "Not yet, but I also want to try what it feels like to be in a relationship with someone my age, so I'm prepared to agree."
It was clearly something to be happy about, but Lin Nuan saw tears in Yun Liuli's reddened eyes.
She turned her head sideways and rubbed her eyes on the back of her hand. She straightened her body and smiled as she stared at Yuan Yuan in the cradle. "My life in the past was too enclosed, with only Gu Qingcheng. That kind of life of mine wasn't normal! I've always known that, but I stubbornly thought that it was our life, but now I know that I've always been the only one in that world!"
Yuan Yuan moved a little in the cradle. Yun Liuli rocked the cradle, and after a while, Yuan Yuan fell asleep again.
She let out a long exhale and said, "Sister Xiao Nuan, actually, I also want to live like a normal girl. The girls in our dormitory either have seniors they like or boyfriends. I also want to give it a try!"
Lin Nuan sat next to Yun Liuli and raised a hand to gently stroke Yun Liuli's long hair …
Lin Nuan didn't know what had happened between Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng, but Lin Nuan saw the young lady and knew that her past lifestyle was a little paranoid. It could even be said to be abnormal and twisted!
Therefore, the young lady wanted to work hard to correct her feelings and correct her life!
She lost her parents at a young age and entrusted all her feelings to Gu Qingcheng. Be it family, friendship, or love, she gave them all to that man without reservation!
However, she was destined not to receive a response.
During the time Yun Liuli was staying at the Fu residence, Lin Nuan could clearly see that Yun Liuli's daily life was filled with missing Gu Qingcheng, repeatedly recalling the pitifully few memories she had with Gu Qingcheng, then waiting for him to return.
It was as if that was the entire meaning of her life!
That Yun Liuli lived a closed and lowly life. Lin Nuan had always felt that Yun Liuli should have the vigor and youthfulness of her age, just like Fu Tianci. No matter how flamboyant and scoundrel Fu Tianci was, he was filled with the vitality of youth.
Lin Nuan and Yun Liuli's heads leaned against each other, and she said in a low voice, "This is your youth. You can live a little more wantonly and willful. Go ahead and try whatever you want to try! Our Xiao Liuli can also live such a life!"
Previously, Lin Nuan actually had the thought of letting Yun Liuli and Fu Tianci spend more time together. It wasn't that she hoped that the two kids would develop any development. It was just that Fu Tianci could bring Yun Liuli along to play with things that kids their age should play with.
Now that Yun Liuli had brought a boy over, Lin Nuan suppressed this thought.
Lin Nuan looked at that Zhong Qingfei. His gaze was clean and clear, and when he looked at Yun Liuli, it was filled with heartache and doting love. He seemed like a good kid.
"Sister Xiao Nuan, I'm leaving now!" Yun Liuli said to Lin Nuan.
Gu Qingcheng said that he wanted her to live a life that a normal person her age should have. He wanted her to date a boy of her age. She had brought him here today and let Gu Qingcheng take a look at him.
She thought that Gu Qingcheng should be satisfied and at ease.
But Yun Liuli was still a child after all. She couldn't control her emotions and didn't even dare to visit Gu Qingcheng today. She could only leave early to prevent herself from crying in front of Gu Qingcheng and wasting all her previous efforts.
Lin Nuan nodded. "Aunt Blessing is busy in the kitchen. She made a few snacks that you and Tuan Tuan both like. Wait for a while. When Aunt Blessing is done, I'll bring some back to school for you to eat. You can also share some with your roommate. I'll get the driver to send you back later!"
Yun Liuli shook her head. "Forget it, Sister Xiao Nuan. I'm not going back to the dormitory today. I have to make a trip back to the condo to get my things. Moreover, I don't have an appetite. Leave the snacks for Tuan Tuan! Don't waste them!"
Lin Nuan didn't insist. She sent Yun Liuli out and watched as she left with Zhong Qingfei.
Bai Xiaonian called her father after getting off the plane.
