Gu Qingcheng knew Fu Huai 'an would agree to it. In order to drag him out of that quagmire … Fu Huai' an would agree to whatever conditions Cen Mo offered.
Gu Qingcheng wanted to reject him for the sake of their original intention of establishing that huge organization!
But the moment Gu Qingcheng thought of Yun Liuli's innocent and bright smile, he realized he couldn't bring himself to say it …
Cen Mo had to stay for dinner, so he didn't stay in Fu Huai 'an's study after they settled the matter. He didn't want to delay Fu Huai' an's discussion with Gu Qingcheng and Tang Zheng.
After Cen Mo left, Gu Qingcheng looked at Fu Huai 'an, who was calmly pouring water into his teacup, and said, "Old Fu …"
"I know what you're going to say!" Fu Huai 'an put down the teapot in his hand and looked up. "Back then, we decided not to involve ourselves in drugs, pornography, or human trafficking, but that doesn't mean we're good people! Actually, from the start, our goal … was to get what we wanted! I've never flaunted myself as a good person, and I don't necessarily have to do things that only good people can do. I'm just following my heart. "
Just following his heart …
Fu Huai 'an only wanted to drag Gu Qingcheng out, so he was trying his best to do so.
…
Downstairs, Lin Nuan had already arranged lunch. The cheerful Little Candy bounced to the study and called Fu Huai 'an, Gu Qingcheng, and Tang Zheng downstairs for lunch.
At the dining table, Tang Zheng couldn't help but want to call Lu Jinnan to ask how his injury was. But after hearing You Nainai say it might be an opportunity for Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan to reconcile, he didn't want to disturb them, so he gave up on the idea.
Gu Qingcheng had something on his mind, so he didn't stay for lunch and headed back with Yun Liuli.
On the way back, Gu Qingcheng and Yun Liuli remained silent, each with their own thoughts.
When they arrived at the Cloud Top Condominium, Gu Qingcheng came out of the elevator and unbuttoned his suit jacket. Before he could take it off, the young lady hugged him from behind.
"Slow down, be careful of the injury on your arm!" Gu Qingcheng frowned and gently pulled away the arms around his waist.
"You're preparing to step down from that position, aren't you?" Yun Liuli asked. "Because of me?"
Gu Qingcheng hadn't thought of how he was going to tell Yun Liuli about this when he heard the young lady say in a husky voice, "Has Fu Huai 'an found someone to replace you? If you step down … can that person guarantee your safety? Will he collude with others to deal with you?! You've offended a lot of people over the years … "
"Liuli, I'm going to fake my death to escape!" Gu Qingcheng turned around and lowered his gaze to look at the young lady in his arms, whose eyes were red. "It's the cleanest and most efficient way, with the least amount of repercussions. But … I'll have to live under a different identity, and I might not even be able to appear in the city. Are you willing to come with me?"
Hearing Gu Qingcheng ask if she was willing to come with him, Yun Liuli nodded without even thinking.
But after nodding her head, she realized something and asked, "Fake death?! Is it dangerous?! "
"You'll have to plan this slowly. There will definitely be danger, but it definitely won't be a big one …" Gu Qingcheng raised his hand and stroked Yun Liuli's little head. "Moreover, it won't be immediate. There are many things that have to be arranged. Since you want to go back to school, go back to school tomorrow and start your normal life. As for me … after I settle down, I'll probably have to go overseas for a period of time to make preparations. After that … I might disappear for a period of time! You have to take care of yourself! "
The moment she heard that she might have to disappear for a period of time, Yun Liuli's heart skipped a beat.
"You haven't heard my answer yet!" Yun Liuli anxiously hugged Gu Qingcheng's narrow waist. "Why are you in such a hurry to go overseas?"
Did Gu Qingcheng still need to hear Yun Liuli's answer?
Wasn't what Gu Qingcheng was doing now all for the sake of his and Yun Liuli's future life?
Gu Qingcheng was very clear about that answer …
Gu Qingcheng knew what Yun Liuli was asking Lin Nuan!
Since he already knew the young lady's determination, Gu Qingcheng had to do something to respond to her determination.
Perhaps because he saw the young lady frowning, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but rub her forehead. "You have to study hard! In the future, Uncle Qingcheng might have to depend on you! "
It was clearly a joke, but Yun Liuli became serious. She hugged Gu Qingcheng even tighter. "I can!"
Seeing that the young lady was unprecedentedly serious, Gu Qingcheng reached out and stroked her head. He smiled and said, "It's hard to take care of me. I'm very picky about the things I use!"
"I can!" The young lady's tone was stubborn and determined.
After expressing her stance, Yun Liuli's heart ached. She gazed at Gu Qingcheng, her throat a little choked. "Then … are you going to disappear for a long time?"
Gu Qingcheng didn't reply. He raised a hand and tucked the young lady's hair, which had been cut short, behind her ear, saying in a low voice, "I might come back when your hair reaches your waist!"
The young lady felt a lump in her throat, and tears trickled down her cheeks.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have cut my hair short!" Yun Liuli said. She couldn't help but bury her head in Gu Qingcheng's chest and cry.
"Yun Liuli, I want to be with you … for life!" It was the first time Gu Qingcheng said something so touching. He gently hugged the young lady tightly, speaking slowly above her head. "To be together peacefully. I want to be with you … to have a child as beautiful as you. Therefore, there are some things that I have to do!"
Things like bloodshed shouldn't be mixed up with Yun Liuli's life.
Gu Qingcheng was already like this. Towards the girl he loved, he wanted to give her a warm and peaceful sky.
Hearing Gu Qingcheng's words, Yun Liuli almost couldn't hold it in anymore. She buried her head in Gu Qingcheng's chest and cried hysterically.
After crying for a long time, until Yun Liuli was hungry, she sniffled and said in a nasal voice, "I'm hungry …"
Gu Qingcheng was about to say something when he heard Yun Liuli say in a choked voice, "I want to eat the Yangchun noodles you made! In the future … I won't be able to eat it for a long … long time! "
Yun Liuli then started another round of heart-wrenching crying.
Yun Liuli was actually quite a reserved child, and she rarely broke down and cried like this. Gu Qingcheng didn't know what to feel.
"Alright! Alright … "Gu Qingcheng gently stroked Yun Liuli's back." It's not like I'm leaving now! "
Yun Liuli looked up with tears streaming down her face. "But you … but if you leave this time, I'll only be able to see you when my hair grows out!"
Yun Liuli hugged Gu Qingcheng and wailed loudly, crying even when she was eating the noodles.
After eating the noodles, Yun Liuli's emotions calmed down a little. She sobbed and looked up at Gu Qingcheng. "If I were to wear a wig … the kind with long hair that reaches my waist, would that count?"
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
Yun Liuli knew that she had said a joke, so she lowered her head.
