Gu Qingcheng restrained himself and pulled the blanket over to cover Yun Liuli with it. However, he sat in front of Yun Liuli's bed and didn't leave …
After not seeing her for so long, Yun Liuli had become more and more beautiful, and there was a hint of femininity between her brows.
Perhaps only when Yun Liuli had fallen asleep like this would Gu Qingcheng dare to look directly at his young lady.
Gu Qingcheng had always gotten people to take care of Yun Liuli in secret. He knew how cold Yun Liuli was to outsiders and how resolute she was towards her pursuers.
But to her … She was like a peach blossom in spring, trying her best to make her notice her beauty. Every day, she used all kinds of methods to tell her that she had grown up.
However, she was so beautiful, why would he use himself to tarnish her? How would he have the face to face her father in the underworld?
He would protect her like this for now. When she met the person she truly loved, he would let go …
Gu Qingcheng let out a long breath and leaned over to plant a kiss on Yun Liuli's forehead. He was extremely sincere and cherished her deeply.
In this lifetime, Gu Qingcheng had placed Yun Liuli in the most important position in his heart.
After a long while, Gu Qingcheng straightened up and helped Yun Liuli draw the curtains. He gently closed the door before leaving.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Liuli's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, sliding down the bridge of her nose …
She knew … she knew it! Gu Qingcheng had her in his heart!
He didn't want to accept her, it must be because he couldn't cross the hurdle in his heart!
In the past, if Yun Liuli had only guessed that he liked her, even if Gu Qingcheng had admitted it himself, she would still have doubts. But today, Gu Qingcheng's actions after he thought that Yun Liuli had fallen asleep made Yun Liuli certain.
How nice …
That's great!
It's not that he doesn't like me! It's not that he doesn't love me!
He just … had a knot in his heart!
That's great! That's great!
Yun Liuli wasn't afraid of anything, but she was afraid that Gu Qingcheng wouldn't like her. If he didn't like her, then given Gu Qingcheng's heart of stone, she really didn't know how much effort she would have to put in to move him!
Gu Qingcheng's kiss tonight had left a lot of courage in Yun Liuli's heart. She wished she could rush into Gu Qingcheng's room right now and hug him tightly.
However, Yun Liuli still restrained herself. She had to plan slowly …
The corners of Yun Liuli's lips curled up. That night, she slept very soundly.
…
The next morning, Yun Liuli woke up rather early and busied herself preparing breakfast for Gu Qingcheng. But when she thought of her cooking standards, she gave up. She could still make cakes and fool her own stomach, but she didn't want to make things difficult for Gu Qingcheng, who had always been picky.
Opening the fridge, Yun Liuli saw the small cup of noodles she had bought yesterday. Her stomach was growling in hunger, so she made herself some instant noodles first. Then, she checked on the food delivery app on her phone to see if there were any restaurants that would deliver food.
When Gu Qingcheng came out after washing up, he smelled the smell of instant noodles in the living room.
Gu Qingcheng frowned and walked in the direction of the restaurant. He saw Yun Liuli slurping on her instant noodles with one hand and scrolling through her phone with the other.
"Eating instant noodles so early in the morning?! Is that how you take care of yourself when I'm not around? "Gu Qingcheng asked.
Yun Liuli had wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it for a while, she really wanted Gu Qingcheng to feel sorry for her. Therefore, she said, "I don't know much about cooking to begin with. Instant noodles can at least fill my stomach …"
Yun Liuli

These words indeed made Gu Qingcheng's frown deepen.
"Moreover …" Yun Liuli smiled at Gu Qingcheng. "Instant noodles save money and are convenient!"
Gu Qingcheng's heart tightened. "Am I short of money from you?"
Yun Liuli drew out a tissue and wiped her mouth. "That's your money, after all. I'm spending it unjustly, so I have to be thrifty … I've already recorded it down. I'll return it to you later!"
These words were like a knife stabbing into Gu Qingcheng's heart.
As expected, Yun Liuli saw Gu Qingcheng, who had both hands in his pockets, pursing his thin lips tightly.
"Don't worry about the money. I promised your father to take care of you, so I'll treat you like my own child! Don't feel bad about the money! "Gu Qingcheng said as he walked toward the kitchen.
Yun Liuli watched as Gu Qingcheng unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms. He looked like he was going to cook personally.
Yun Liuli restrained the corners of her lips that were about to curl up. She felt that it was good to change her way of thinking. Her culinary skills were terrible, but she could let Gu Qingcheng feed her own stomach!
Since he doted on her so much, Gu Qingcheng would have to come back and stay by her side even if she was so hungry that she couldn't eat the food cooked by others.
Yun Liuli lowered her head and looked at the steam rising from the instant noodles in front of her, saying, "But … because of my father, you've already done your best to raise me until I'm 18 years old. I can't be so shameless! Moreover, haven't you heard of the saying, 'A battle of rice nourishes kindness, and a rise of rice nourishes enmity'? What if I become a rice worm that relies on you? "
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have heard a joke, and he didn't stop rolling up his sleeves. With a hint of a smile, he raised his calm eyes and glanced at Yun Liuli, then turned around and placed the pot on the gas stove.
"Don't talk about the rise of rice … all of my assets are yours!" Gu Qingcheng turned his head and gazed at Yun Liuli, speaking to her so solemnly for the first time. "Do you understand?"
"Why?" Yun Liuli restrained her heartbeat and asked.
Who did he dare to say that all his assets belonged to him? Why did it sound like a marriage proposal …
"Because I treat you as my own child! Perhaps I'll only have you as my child in this lifetime! " Gu Qingcheng said softly, "Xiao Liuli, if you become a rice worm that relies on me, I'll be very happy. At least you'll be able to live a happy life!"
Yun Liuli's eyes reddened when she heard Gu Qingcheng's words …
He clearly doted on her so much, so why did he have to keep her at arm's length!
"Other than being your own child, can't I … be something else? The kind that can take all of your assets! "Yun Liuli's voice was very soft, sounding like she was trying to sound him out, yet also like she was talking to herself.
Yun Liuli controlled her volume very well. It was the kind that Gu Qingcheng would definitely hear, but if Gu Qingcheng didn't want to reply, he could pretend that he didn't hear it.
Yun Liuli stared at Gu Qingcheng's back view, watching as he smoothly turned on the range hood, added water to the pot, and turned on the fire …
He was pretending that he didn't hear it.
Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything. This was his attitude …
But hearing Yun Liuli's words, Gu Qingcheng felt both sweet and sour. He also felt that he had let down Yun Shoushan and his wife.
Gu Qingcheng closed his eyes and turned to look at Yun Liuli. The young lady seemed to sense something and also looked up at Gu Qingcheng.
After waiting for the water to boil, Gu Qingcheng said to Yun Liuli, "In the past, when I was chatting with your father, your father said … his greatest wish was to be able to watch you get married and have children with your stepmother after he retires, then take care of your children for you …"
It was the end of the month. Begging for monthly votes, babies!
