Chapter 271: Persistence
Ye Qinglan was stunned and looked at Gu Xinian reflexively.
It turned out that the jade pendant had such a big origin, it was not only an old thing that he had worn for twenty-one years, but also an heirloom of the Dingguo Mansion. How could he give it to her so casually?
Gu Xinian's face did not change and responded: "I can't remember when I lost it, I've been looking for it for the past few days." Yu'er, don't tell your father and mother about this, lest they be in a hurry. β
Gu Xiyu immediately responded obediently, and then hurriedly said, "I'll go to the house to look for it." "By the way, I called Moxiang and Jade to help find it. Ruixue thought about it and went along.
Then, there were only two people left in the small side hall, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian.
β¦β¦
Cunning! Insidious! Ye Qinglan secretly slandered. actually used such an excuse to break Gu Xiyu away. That jade pendant was honestly in her purse, and Gu Xiyu couldn't find it even if she looked for it overnight.
"You ......" the two opened their mouths at the same time.
Gu Xinian didn't compete with her this time, and said with a smile: "You say it first." β
Ye Qinglan didn't say anything polite to him, frowned and asked in a low voice, "That jade pendant is so valuable, why did you just stuff it for me?" If I lose it, I can't afford to pay for it. β
Gu Xinian replied casually: "If you really lose it, it's better to pay off the debt directly." β
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes and spat him.
Gu Xinian smiled lowly, his already handsome face was a little less gloomy, and his lines were much softer. To describe it as an idiom, it is absolutely beautiful and delicious!
Such beauty is in front, don't look at white, don't look at it. Besides, now that I've broken through that layer of window paper, I don't have to pretend to be shy. Therefore, Ye Qinglan simply stared at Gu Xinian for a moment, and then sighed: "You look good when you smile." I should have laughed a lot. β
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't have a stiff face on weekdays." β
"That's the same." Ye Qinglan said disappreciatively: "Your usual smile is like a mask, and you are not really smiling at all. I felt panicked when I looked at it. It's so much better now. β
Gu Xinian smiled dumbly. This girl is embarrassed to talk about him, isn't she like this herself? looks gentle and quiet and easy-going, but it's not like that at all.
The real her is a cunning and cunning master who refuses to eat at all, and never forgets to erect a thick wall in front of her at all times to keep people out. is like a slippery hedgehog, who hides all the thorns well on weekdays, but once he really wants to get close to her. And all the thorns came out. is sharp and sharp-toothed, and often chokes people half to death with one sentence.
But like this, the more he looks at her, the more pleasing it becomes......
Ye Qinglan was uncomfortable by him. A defensive: "Hey, what do you think I'm doing like that?" Are you thinking about it again? I warn you, the last incident was just an accident, and you don't want to take a step closer to me in the future. β
Gu Xinian glanced at her squintly: "I'm restrained, I'm afraid that you will covet my beauty." β
Bah! Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes fiercely. This man's duplicity is not what she has learned. Don't look at what you say seriously, you don't know what you're thinking!
It is rare that the two do not have-for-tat, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Gu Xinian remembered what he heard before, and asked in a deep voice, "When did your eldest brother come back?" β
At the mention of Ye Yuanzhou, Ye Qinglan's smile narrowed a little, and she replied simply: "I came back last year." When he didn't get into the autumn school, his father let him go to the country to study. β
A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes: "He is a 'hard work'." β
Ye Qinglan heard that the voice was wrong, and her heart suddenly moved. blurted out: "You know he did it on purpose, right?" In other words, Ye Yuanzhou in his previous life was actually admitted to Qiuqiu.
The relationship between the two is different, and Gu Xinian is not as taboo about talking about his past life as he used to be: "I don't have much of a deep impression of him. However, I remember that when he died, he was already a jinshi. β
Ye Yuanzhou in his previous life. He was only about twenty years old when he died. With such an calculation, Ye Yuanzhou should have shined in the autumn this time. Then he was admitted to the spring festival. But this qiΔ was destroyed by Ye Yuanzhou himself.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but sigh lightly. The word love is really harmful! It's no wonder that the Xue family always sees her as a thorn in the flesh, from the Xue family's point of view, isn't she the culprit?
Ye Yuanzhou's paranoia and fanaticism, from a psychological point of view, are also a disease. Moreover, it is obvious that he is not lightly ill, and he is so attached to his own sister......
"Don't worry." A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, and he didn't know what he was calculating: "Ye Yuanzhou's affairs will be handed over to me to deal with." β
Ye Qinglan frowned slightly: "Don't mess around." Anyway, he's my big brother. After thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, I can handle it myself." β
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and his tone became a little colder: "He's just a complete madman, how can you deal with him as a woman?" If he does something impulsive, your reputation will be ruined. If you have forgotten what I said, I might as well tell you again. In his previous life, your eldest brother killed your fiancΓ©, killed you innocently, and in the end, he committed suicide. What do you do against such a twisted and dark person? β
Seeing that Ye Qinglan was still talking, she added a few words lightly: "Leave it to me!" I'm not going to let him hurt you in the slightest. In the indifferent tone, there is a strong self-confidence, which makes people unconsciously convinced.
A trace of throbbing flashed in Ye Qinglan's heart. When a man does not hesitate to protect you behind him, it is probably the warmth that all women can't refuse.
She has always been strong and independent, and she is used to handling everything by herself, so even if she encounters a difficult matter, she will not ask others for help. But at this moment, she felt the warmth of being cared for. Although Gu Xinian didn't say anything sweet, these few words were very heartwarming to listen to.
"Thank you," Ye Qinglan's eyes softened little by little: "I know you're worried about me." I really don't want you to get involved in this, though. β
Gu Xinian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his complexion was obviously not very good-looking. At that moment just now, she was clearly moved, but after a short moment, she regained this stubborn look: "Don't you trust me?" β
Otherwise, why do you reject him again and again?
Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "This has nothing to do with trust or distrust. You want to help me because you're worried about my situation. But have you ever thought about it, what will my mother think if you really meddle in my affairs rashly? The eldest brother's heart for me is only clear to my mother and me, and even the second sister is kept in the dark. If you do deal with him, wouldn't it be too traceable. When the time comes, not only will the relationship between you and me not be able to hide from others, but the strange thoughts of the eldest brother will also be noticed by those who have a heart. That's when the time comes, it's really not good. β
Once it spreads, it's a scandal that can ruin a person's life. After all, Ye Yuanzhou is the biological brother of this body, if he is ruined like this, her reputation as a sister will also be ruined, and when the time comes, what face should she use to face everyone in Changyuan Bofu?
How to deal with Ye Yuanzhou can be slowed down for the time being, and more importantly, this matter is suppressed to the death, and no one can be noticed. Therefore, Gu Xinian could never make a move against Ye Yuanzhou!
It is impossible for Gu Xinian not to understand this truth.
Gu Xinian was silent for a moment, and his brows quietly twisted: "According to what you say, I have to watch him harass you, and then I can't do anything?" "This kind of thing is unbearable for a man!
Ye Qinglan's clear eyes looked at him, and she responded gently: "If it really comes to the day when I can't cope with it, I will naturally ask you for help." However, this is far from that point, can you trust me? I'm not the weak Ye Qinglan who can only cry, I naturally have a way to deal with him. β
Gu Xinian didn't speak again, but his face was still gloomy. Having said all this, there is actually only one real reason. She still doesn't trust him enough, so she refuses to rely on him, preferring to deal with the situation on her own......
Ye Qinglan could see his thoughts from his face, but she no longer tried to convince him.
He has his ideas, and she has her persistence. She is not a weak and helpless silk flower, her own predicament, it is better to face it by herself.
After a long time, Gu Xinian broke the silence: "Since you are so insistent, I will not force you." However, don't be too aggressive, and if you really encounter something that can't be solved, be sure to tell me. Finally reluctantly gave in.
Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly put on a sweet smile: "Well, I'm not a fool, if I really can't bear it, I will definitely find you as a big backer." β
That's how men and women get along. Make a step, give another step, and you will habitually keep giving in the future. Therefore, she will never give in lightly. Otherwise, will he not be eaten to death in the future?
Therefore, we must take advantage of the beginning to "take" him!
It turns out that Gu is not a soft persimmon, and as soon as he gave way, he had a new mentions: "If you don't let me help you, I'll send you a secret guard when you go home, you won't refuse again!" β
Ye Qinglan was stunned: "I'm followed by the secret guard, will it be too dazzling?" β
Gu Xinian explained lightly: "I'll pick a female secret guard for you, and I will keep it by my side as a maid on weekdays, and I won't be dazzling at all." If you encounter any urgent situation, you can also help in time, and you can also send me a message in time. β
It sounds like a good thing, but it's a shame to refuse. Ye Qinglan nodded and responded-
The third watch is coming~ Isn't it particularly cool to watch? Xiaoqing has been really desperate for the past two days~courting caresses~
