Gao Xi followed Gao Ran's instructions, and after the group moved to the new inn together and settled down again, he went out to run errands alone. Moreover, he did not return all night......

Early in the morning of the second day.

After Gao Ran had breakfast, he had nothing to do, so he took Qiao'er out for a walk. As a result, while walking, I really wandered around this Qingli Town for a day.

And Zhao Yi, since Gao Ran gave him some pocket money when he was eating breakfast, as soon as he was full, he left first! Before leaving, he only left one sentence, "I'll come back when I've had enough!"

This time, it was Gao Ran's turn to be passive and he took the initiative, and he didn't tell her when he would come back?! He just wanted her to wait until he came back, and she couldn't have any other plans on the itinerary.

As soon as Zhao Yi left, Gao Ran began to regret giving him too much pocket money!

It's good, his room is not easy to check out, and he doesn't know if he will come back to sleep?!

"Alas! What a shot in one's own foot! There is indeed 'retribution' in this world! I just made him unhappy yesterday, and he came back with revenge on me so quickly! Hmm...... It seems that in the future, it's better not to harm others casually, lest I will be retributed back to myself in the end, which will not be good!"

Looking at the direction of Zhao Yi's departure, Gao Ran called a regret!

"Well, next time, he must not be soft-hearted! This pocket money must be given a little less! In this way, he will have much less time to hang out outside!"

After some "painful experience" introspection, Gao Ran decided to learn a lesson and further improve the way she tried to slowly "tame" Zhao Yi, an old naughty boy.

Although she is the "apprentice", she will never be satisfied with just being Zhao Yi's good apprentice! She has been thinking about it since a long time ago, and one day, she must "train" Zhao Yi to be almost obedient to her!

Of course, what she wants is not to make Zhao Yi become obedient to her like a "servant", but to make him more and more accustomed to her existence, and psychologically inseparable from her, so that he simply regards her as her own granddaughter.

What she wants is to obey her words - not because she has any bargaining chips to threaten Zhao Yi and force him to obey, but because he cares about her and feels sorry for her, so he "listens" to her very much.

Gao Ran felt that such "obedience" would be more powerful. If one day, when she really needs Zhao Yi to be "obedient", his "obedience" can really help her!

Gao Ran admitted that it was indeed a bit despicable that she would think like this and had already begun to do so, but from beginning to end, she did not force Zhao Yi to be "tamed" by her as she wished......

"Anyway, it's all your love and my willingness. I didn't force you from beginning to end! So, if one day, you really do what I wanted, then don't blame me! That qiē is also your own choice...... Anyway, I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to make more use of you...... What's more, I didn't force you to ...... Well, that's it!"

Whenever she felt that her bad motives were indeed a little contrary to her conscience and made her a little uneasy, Gao Ran would repeat this to herself, so that her conscience could be comforted a little......

――

Towards evening, when Gao Ran finally returned to the inn, she had just entered the room with her front foot, and Gao Xi had come in with her back foot - before she could even close the door......

"You...... Where did you come from?!"

Gao Ran patted his chest and swallowed back the second half of the sentence "scared me to death".

"I can't say it, I can't say it! If I say it, it's too embarrassing!"

Even Gao Ran, who thinks he is very mature, occasionally, like Zhao Yi, will care about something that most other people will think is normal and indifferent - sure enough, there must be a disciple!

From another point of view, this is still very in line with the natural law of "like gathers" - even though Gao Ran has never admitted that she has any similarities with Zhao Yi's strange old man - otherwise, wouldn't she admit that she herself is also "weird"?!

"Oh, I flew in through the unclosed window on the other side of the hallway...... Phew, that's it!"

Unexpectedly, Gao Xi not only didn't realize that Gao Ran's question just now was just an "exclamation sentence" that she couldn't help blurting out when she was frightened for a while, but in fact it was just an "exclamation sentence" that she wanted to complain about, but also answered her question seriously.

Even in order to let her know more clearly where he came in, he specially used his finger to show her which window it was......

"Uh...... Xi, has anyone ever sued you, you sometimes ...... Occasionally, I'll be a little 'stupid'?!Hehe, but that's fine! Seeing that you also have a 'stupid' side, I will be mentally balanced......

Although Gao Xi obviously heard that Gao Ran obviously had something to say, he didn't understand what she was secretly cooling?!

That's right, her expression was clearly laughing at him, but she didn't intend to tell him, where was he teasing her?!

"Close the door! I'll let Qiao'er eat first, and when she's full, I'll bring my food to me. So, she won't come to the room for a while. ”

Gao Ran didn't give Gao Xi time to react, and after ordering him to lock the door, he went straight to the table and sat down, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Gao Xi very leisurely.

When Gao Xi saw it, he immediately quickly turned around and locked the door, and then walked quickly to Gao Ran's side and sat down.

"Let's have a cup of tea first. You must be very tired after running around all night, right? Do you want to rest first, and when you feel better, we will talk?"

Although I was very anxious to know the results of Gao Xi's investigation soon, I was still in a sense of proportion on the surface.

She won't forget that Gao Xi is not her subordinate. What's more, he "proposed" to her yesterday! Although she hadn't figured out how to reply to him, at least her attitude towards him now was more deliberate than before, lest she give him some wrong hints or might accidentally hurt him......

"Alas, the ambiguous/ambiguous relationship is the most troublesome! But I really can't give him any clear answer...... Alas, this requires more caution...... I don't know, am I being too sensitive, or am I just thinking too much about myself?!

Gao Ran looked at Gao Xi with a calm and gentle face, smiling and waiting for his reaction, but at the same time, he was self-contradictory and entangled in his heart......

didn't think about it, Gao Ran's gentle smile was exchanged for Gao Xi's faint smile at her - and his eyes, even a fool can see how affectionate he is, even if that affection is slowly "flowing out" like a trickle......

"Ahem!" Gao Ran coughed a few times in embarrassment, and instantly shifted his gaze.

"Let's take a sip of tea first! Gao Ran deliberately changed the topic.

"Hmm. Gao Xi cooperated with Gao Ran's wishes this time, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea.

When he put the teacup back on the table, he finally took the initiative to speak, "I'm not tired yet." Since Qiao'er will be bringing you dinner in a moment, I will stay here and wait for dinner with you later, and then I will leave...... Well...... When we're done, I'll go and say hello to Qiao'er first. ”

When Gao Xi said this, his eyes never left Gao Ran's face. Seeing that Gao Ran didn't dare to look back at him anymore!

So, Gao Ran had no choice but to continue to look at the cup of tea in her hand.

However, she could clearly feel that Gao Xi's gaze was a little hot when she looked at her, and even her cheeks were a little hot unconsciously - Gao Ran was never afraid of other people's provocative gazes, but she was very bad at dealing with this kind of affectionate gaze, and such tender gazes would make her very embarrassed......

"Ahem!" Gao Ran coughed twice in embarrassment again, and then, deliberately avoiding the "sensitive" topic, went straight to the point, "Whatever you want, then let's talk about things first! Tell me what you have found first?"

Xu has unconsciously changed to the relationship of "work mode", and at the same time as asking, Gao Ran finally had the "courage" to turn his face and look directly at Gao Xi, and looking at his gaze, there was really no distraction at all!

Seeing Gao Ran, he had already put on an absolutely "business-like" appearance in just an instant, Gao Xi was only a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still cooperated with her well......

"I found out that 'Yu'er' is actually the third lady of the An family that Miss originally planned to get acquainted with - An Yujie. And, the son of the Fu family is the second son of the Fu family - Fu Wenxuan. ”

"What?!Is he Fu Wenxuan?!" Gao Ran couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's difficult to do now! If I help An Yujie, wouldn't it be tantamount to sacrificing the interests of the "Fu family"?! Now I have to think about it......

I thought that the little boy was just an ordinary son of the Fu family, but I didn't think that he was actually the second son of the Fu family and the younger brother of her brother-in-law - not half-mother, but half-father. The relationship between him and her brother-in-law Fu Wenhan is closer than the relationship between her and her sister Gao Qi - how can "the same mother and the same father" be compared to the "same mother"?!

"Miss, if there is no accident, after Gao Qi returns to Gaofu to resume his life, then Fu Wenxuan should be your official 'fiancé'...... What do you think?!"

"What do you think?!"

Gao Ran's thoughts at this moment had not yet been withdrawn from "which side to choose to help", and when he heard Gao Xi's question, he only remembered the last sentence he asked, and couldn't help but repeat it, and at the same time looked at him with a look full of doubts.

But, in the next moment, she realized that she didn't hear clearly, Gao Xi might not understand that she was asking what he asked her just now?!

So, she took the initiative to explain, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now......! Say it again?!"

"I want to ask, what do you think about Fu Wenxuan about to become your official 'fiancé'?!"

After asking, Gao Xi stared at Gao Ran tightly, for fear that he would accidentally miss any of her reactions that might expose her true feelings.

Being stared at like that by Gao Xi, Gao Ran only felt a little uncomfortable all over his body, and his body unconsciously leaned back a little, deliberately widening some distance from him. Even his eyes quickly glanced away, deliberately not looking at him......

"What I think, it's my business, if necessary, when the time is ripe, I'll tell you. But, right now, that's not what you should be concerned about!"

Although this may be a bit heavier, but "Gao Ran will leave the Gao family sooner or later" is currently known only to Qiu Yueze and Yun Jie. Before the time is ripe, there will inevitably be more troubles, and Gao Ran will not tell this "secret" to anyone who doesn't need to know - even if this person is Gao Xi.

Moreover, since Gao Xi confessed to her yesterday, his attitude towards her has really become more and more "arrogant"!

Therefore, even if it may be a bit heavier, it is also to remind him that even if they are not real masters and servants now, they are at least nominal "master servants", Gao Ran still hopes that he can remember his duties and responsibilities, and don't cross the line too much!

In addition, Gao Ran is actually weak in his heart...... She hadn't even figured out how to deal with the relationship between her and Gao Xi?! If she let his feelings go any further, then the days ahead would only make her even more difficult for herself! Why should she ask for trouble?!

And Gao Xi would never have known about Gao Ran's many concerns at this time, he just didn't expect her to resist him so indifferently......

In an instant, he actually felt that Gao Ran's words just now were like a sharp sword, deeply inserted into his heart, and he could even feel that his heart began to bleed......

After being stunned for a while, Gao Xi reacted, with a face that couldn't hide his injury, but he forced his expression of pretending to be fine, and only after a long time did he reply, "Miss forgiveness, it's Xi who has overstepped ......."

Seeing that the current atmosphere could no longer continue to continue to talk about "business" as if it was okay, Gao Ran had no choice but to take the initiative to find a step down for the two, "Forget it! What I just said was a bit heavy...... You're tired, so go back to your room and rest! I have something to think about by myself......"

Although she mainly wanted to send Gao Xi away, the reason she found was indeed true.

originally planned that she would have a good relationship with An Yujie and Fu Wenxuan...... But I didn't think about it, it turned out that this was actually a problem of "you can't have both fish and bear's paws"!

Who would have thought that the two of them would still have a relationship similar to a "love triangle"?!

Moreover, the object of An Yujie's affection is still Yun Zhen......

Isn't this obvious, if she wants to be a bystander and not get involved in their "love triangle" at all, it will definitely be impossible - because of Yun Zhen's relationship, and if she helps An Yujie (in fact, she helps herself in disguise), it will be tantamount to offending Fu Wenxuan; but if she helps Fu Wenxuan, even if the last princess Yun Zhen marries in the future is not Gao Ran, I'm afraid An Yujie will still have a grudge against her-unless she can help Fu Wenxuan completely get An Yujie's heart.

However, judging from Gao Ran's observation of the two of them at that "first meeting", this possibility is very small!

As for why it's so sure?!

Gao Ran could only say that in addition to her observation and judgment on some details of the interaction between the two of them at that time, it was more due to her woman's intuition - she just felt that this Fu Wenxuan would definitely not be the type An Yujie liked! No matter how good he was, it was useless! I didn't like it, I just didn't like it!

Therefore, what she really has to consider and measure next is, in fact, how does she choose in order to reduce her losses as much as possible and obtain the greatest benefits? What she wants to measure is that among An Yujie and Fu Wenxuan, who can bring her greater benefits and reduce her losses to the greatest extent? !
