Pei Minglu was stunned, probably because he didn't expect Pei Yan to be so serious, he was silent for a while, and reached out with a trembling hand to touch Pei Yan's hand on the railing.

"Good life, feast." This was the last sentence that Pei Mingalum told Pei Yan.

A few days after this, Pei Minglu was sentenced to life imprisonment, of course, this is a later story.

When Pei Yan came out of the detention center, the whole person was depressed, and when he saw the warm sun in the sky, Pei Yan seemed to feel something that he had never experienced before.

There was a burning heat on the back of his hand, and I don't know if it was from the sun or a psychological effect.

He Zhaoyuan returned home slowly, but he didn't expect that when he came to the door, he saw Gu Qingyu's car parked in front of his house.

He Zhaoyuan coughed lightly, and just as he didn't know what to do, Gu Qingyu saw him in the rearview mirror first.

Gu Qingyu hurriedly opened the car door and walked down, turned around with his hands in his pockets, and said hello crampedly: "Hi." ”

"Come in and sit." He Zhaoyuan scratched his head and welcomed Gu Qingjian into his house.

Seeing that He Zhaoyuan didn't seem to be reluctant to talk to herself, Gu Qing was secretly happy, and she immediately walked in with He Zhaoyuan.

"Your new home is really the same as the previous one." After coming in, Gu Qingjian couldn't help but admire.

"Don't you always say that my aesthetic style is like that of an old man?" He Zhaoyuan poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingyi, sat down and said lightly.

"Hmm...... After watching it for a long time, it's still quite charming. Gu Qing's serious appearance amused He Zhaoyuan.

"Alright, what are you doing here? There is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. He Zhaoyuan looked at Gu Qing's delicate face and asked.

"That's not right, you often hang around downstairs in our company, I didn't catch you asking that." Gu Qing frowned and said unhappily, "I can't just come to see you?" ”

"Yes." He Zhaoyuan said happily, "Then now that you're done, you can go, right?" ”

"Hey, why are you so ruthless?" Gu Qing frowned and complained, "Okay, I do have something." ”

"What's the matter, just say it." He Zhaoyuan took a sip of tea and replied.

"Actually, at the beginning, I learned about He Mulan's departure from An Yan, and I wanted to ask you......" Gu Qing said worriedly, "I want to ask you where He Mulan went." ”

As soon as this question was asked, He Zhaoyuan's face immediately became gloomy: "It's for Feng Anyan again?" You have a deep affection for him, huh? ”

"Don't get me wrong!" Gu Qingji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, how can I explain this to you?" In short, Yasuhiko and I were ordinary friends, and the engagement banquet at that time was just a plan. ”

"Oh." He Zhaoyuan still had a face, "But I see that you are very concerned about his affairs." ”

"I'm just guilty of Mu Lan and him! Although it wasn't my intention, I did do a lot of things to ruin their feelings......" Gu Qingyu's voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked a little weak.

"Oh? What have you done? I didn't think that your famous Gu Qingjian would also feel guilty? He Zhaoyuan asked slowly.

"Oops......" Gu Qing scratched her ears and cheeks in a hurry, she hadn't explained anything to anyone at all, and in the face of He Zhaoyuan's mocking tone, she didn't know what to do, "How should I tell you?" In short, the situation at that time was a choice that An Yan and I had to make in order to protect Mu Lan and you. ”

"Protect me?" He Zhaoyuan keenly captured the key information, "What are you doing to protect me?" Does this matter have anything to do with me? ”

"Of course!" Gu Qing said with some anger, he had endured so many grievances for his safety, and this thing actually looked like he was out of the way? It's infuriating!

"Then tell me, what does it all have to do with me? I understand Pei Minglu's actions against Mu Lan very well, but what does it have to do with me? He Zhaoyuan asked strangely, but Gu Qingyu always felt that his expression didn't look like he didn't know anything.

"He's not kidding me, is he?" Gu Qing whispered to himself, "No matter, in short, let's find a way to explain it clearly." ”

"What are you muttering alone?" He Zhaoyuan was even more strange, "Say, what's going on?" Who can I threaten? ”

"Me!" Gu Qing said it subconsciously, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and looked innocently at He Zhaoyuan, who was shocked.

He Zhaoyuan obviously hadn't reacted yet, pointing at Gu Qing and frowning, his thoughts were confused.

She said she could threaten her? Does it mean that Pei Minglu will threaten her with herself? Why did Pei Minglu threaten her with herself? Does she have any ...... about herself?

He Zhaoyuan struggled to deal with this information, but fortunately, Gu Qingyu over there had already reacted.

"I mean...... I can't look at an innocent person because I'm hurt, can I? Actually, I'm mainly worried that Pei Minglu will attack you because you are He Mulan's brother. Gu Qing casually talked nonsense and covered up the reason.

"Oh." He Zhao nodded clearly, "Then thank you for worrying." ”

"That's it?" Gu Qingyu waited for a while, and when he saw that He Zhaoyuan didn't speak, he asked with some suspicion.

"Or else?" He Zhaoyuan blinked and asked strangely, "What else should I say?" ”

"You! I ......" Gu Qingyu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and said with some grievances, "Hey, I sacrificed my innocent image to protect you!" I also want to be tied up with that dead phoenix Anyan to stir up scandals, do you know how much I sacrificed? Just a word, huh? It's so insincere! ”

"So what should I do?" He Zhaoyuan looked at Gu Qing strangely, and then his gaze became serious, "Or what do you want me to do?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned, yes, what could he do? He is desperately explaining here, desperately not admitting his feelings for him, what can He Zhaoyuan say?

If she is intimate and afraid of crossing the line, she feels alienated when she is bland and flat, what does she want?

Seeing that Gu Qingyu didn't speak, the light in He Zhaoyuan's eyes dimmed, and after a long time, he asked, "You...... Are you afraid that something will happen to me? ”

Gu Qing frowned and nodded: "I'm afraid, I see An Yan so worried about Mu Lan, I'm also worried about you, worried that you will be controlled by Pei Minglu's people like Mu Lan and used as a bargaining chip to threaten me." ”

"Is this what you mean?" He Zhaoyuan asked again.

Gu Qing frowned into his eyes and said word by word: "Yes, that's what I thought." ”

"So you don't like Feng Anyan at all, and you're pretending to be engaged with him, just for my safety, right?" The more He Zhaoyuan said that the more happy he was in his heart, he originally thought that he had always been unrequited love, but he didn't expect Gu Qingyu to be secretly worried about himself.

"Yes." After hesitating for a while, Gu Qingjian replied firmly.

There's nothing to hide, isn't she here to make things clear?
