Afterwards, Duan Yujing, accompanied by Li Yan, walked hurriedly and with a cold expression toward the host of the banquet, bidding farewell politely but distantly.
"Excuse me, my wife isn't feeling well, so I'll have to go now."
The host, all smiles, tried to persuade them to stay and ask questions, but only managed to utter half a word.
But when she met Duan Yujing's cold and unquestionable gaze, which was as sharp as frost on a cold night, she swallowed the rest of her words and could only awkwardly grin as she watched the two of them leave and walk further and further away.
Inside the car, the space was quiet, and the leather seats exuded a subtle, rich aroma unique to high-end leather, which mixed with the elegant cologne scent on Duan Yujing's body, creating a unique and reassuring atmosphere.
Li Yan huddled in the passenger seat, staring blankly out the window at the fleeting night view, where neon lights flickered.
Like a dream, past memories and present anxieties intertwine in my mind.
Duan Yujing glanced at her from time to time, his eyes full of worry. He reached out and held her cold little hand, their fingers intertwined, conveying warmth.
"Xiaoyan, don't overthink it. I'll take care of everything."
The voice that broke the silence was calm yet powerful, like a sharp blade that could cut through her chaotic thoughts.
Li Yan turned her head, met his gaze, nodded slightly, and forced a faint smile.
Like stars in the dark night, though faint, they are full of trust.
The next day, the morning light shone through the gaps in the gauze curtains onto Li Yan's bed.
Li Yan slowly awoke, the lingering worries from last night still lingering between her brows, like an unshakeable dark cloud.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her movements languid, and got up, throwing on her coat and slipping on her slippers.
Each step, still groggy from the early morning, made a soft "patter" sound as I went downstairs.
In the living room, Jiang Yi wore a light blue dress with a smooth, flowing skirt. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a few strands falling beside her fair cheeks, adding a touch of playfulness.
She was sitting upright on the sofa, casually flipping through a magazine on the coffee table.
Hearing the sound of footsteps on the stairs, she looked up and saw Li Yan. She quickly stood up, a shy smile spreading across her face.
"Good morning, Sister Li Yan!"
Jiang Yi's voice was clear and crisp, radiating the unique vigor of a young girl.
She unconsciously put her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly.
Upon seeing this, the gloom on Li Yan's face was instantly dispelled by this cheerful energy. She quickly went downstairs and greeted him with a bright smile.
She reached out and took Jiang Yi's hands in hers, feeling their warmth and softness. She gently squeezed them and teased, "Jiang Yi, you little rascal, why did you come here so early in the morning?"
You didn't even warn me beforehand. What if that brat Gu Tingyan bullies you?
"You're definitely going to tell my sister, and I'll teach him a lesson!"
Li Yan's gaze was intense and full of sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi's eyes reddened, her nose tingled, and she hurriedly shook her head, her hair swaying slightly.
"No, no, Tingyan is very good to me. He said he was going to cook something delicious for me today, so I just came along to join in the fun."
The girl's voice was tinged with shyness, and her cheeks flushed red, just like the clouds on the horizon dyed by the sunset.
She was charming and adorable, and her words were full of protectiveness and sweet love for Gu Tingyan. When she mentioned her lover's name, her eyes shone even brighter, filled with happy anticipation.
As they were talking, Gu Tingyan walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron with cartoon patterns embroidered on it. This contrasted sharply with his usual cold and aloof demeanor, adding a touch of domestic warmth to his appearance.
He held the plate steadily with both hands; the dishes on the plate were steaming hot and smelled delicious.
"Don't just stand there, come and eat!"
Gu Tingyan greeted her, looking at Jiang Yi with tender eyes and a faint smile on his lips.
His gaze, like the warm spring sun, fell solely upon Jiang Yi, filled with doting affection.
Then he turned to Li Yan, nodded slightly, and communicated with her silently.
Li Yan instantly understood what her son meant.
She pulled Jiang Yi toward the dining table.
The three sat around a table, their laughter filling the room.
