I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan looked at that figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Just then.

Pei Yuran suddenly raised her head.

Her gaze fell on Gu Yan.

stunned.

A complex mix of emotions surged within those cold eyes.

She suddenly stood up.

He walked over quickly.

She walked very quickly, covering a distance of only a few steps.

She stopped in front of Gu Yan.

Look at him.

A few tears welled up in her eyes.

Feeling wronged.

She raised her hand slightly, as if to hug him.

But her personality...

it's too cold.

It's too cold.

The hand was raised halfway, then stopped.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

He didn't utter a single word for a long time.

She just looked at him, her eyes growing redder and redder.

Known daughter Moruomu.

Pei Youyi sighed inwardly as she looked at her daughter.

She spoke softly.

"Yu Ran, it's been so long since I've seen Xiao Yan."

"Go ahead and hug me if you want."

Pei Yuran heard this.

I finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She stepped forward and hugged Gu Yan tightly.

They were holding each other very tightly.

Very tight.

Gu Yan was completely stunned.

Her soft body pressed tightly against him, and through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel every curve of the girl's body.

Especially those two incredibly soft mounds on her chest, pressed against him without any gap.

Her face was buried in the crook of his neck, her warm breath spraying onto his skin.

Gu Yan froze.

What's going on?

When did this iceberg goose become so bold?

In the past, even if Pei Youyi had offered advice, she would never have gone to this extent.

Pei Youyi stood aside, watching her daughter hug Gu Yan tightly.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

Glad.

My daughter finally dared to take the initiative.

But I don't know why.

Deep down, there was still a faint bitterness in my heart.

She thought back to those days.

Every time Pei Yuran had an attack and was curled up in pain, Gu Yan was always by her side.

At that time, as the head of the family, she had to deal with the difficulties caused by the old fogies in the clan and handle all sorts of troublesome matters, often leaving her unable to be in two places at once.

One time, she was just too tired.

A man was in his study, looking at the mountain of clan affairs, and suddenly felt suffocated.

The rain outside the window was pouring down.

She sat in the chair, staring blankly at the rain.

At some point, Gu Yan entered.

He didn't say anything, he just sat down next to her.

Then he picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper.

After drawing for a while, he pushed the paper in front of her.

It was a little kitten, crouching in the rain, soaking wet, looking at her pitifully.

A line of small print was written next to it.

"Aunt Youyi, you've worked hard today too."

She was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed.

As I laughed, tears started falling.

Back then, if it weren't for Xiao Yan...

She didn't know if she and Yu Ran could make it through.

Pei Youyi snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the scene before her.

The daughter was still holding Gu Yan tightly, unwilling to let go.

But then those eyes suddenly turned to her.

I'm so eager.

With a hint of a request.

Pei Youyi was taken aback.

Then she understood.

The daughter wants her to leave.

She felt a pang of sadness again.

But she still managed to force a smile.

"You guys chat."

"I need to take care of something first."

After saying that, she turned around and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

Even from behind, she still looked so gentle and elegant.

He just walked a little slower than usual.

In the courtyard.

Only Gu Yan and Pei Yuran remained.

Pei Yuran hugged Gu Yan tightly.

The soft body pressed tightly against her, and through the thin fabric, Gu Yan could clearly feel every curve of the girl's body.

Those two incredibly soft mounds of flesh pressed against him without any gap between them.

Her face was buried in the crook of his neck, her warm breath spraying onto his skin, carrying a faint fragrance.

Gu Yan froze completely.

This feel...

That's terrible.

He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty.

"Aunt Yuran, you're hugging me too tightly."

"Can you loosen it?"

Pei Yuran paused.

She looked up, and that aloof and stunningly beautiful face was right in front of her.

Her icy blue eyes were fixed on him.

"Aunt?"

Her voice was cold.

"You called me auntie?"

Gu Yan was taken aback.

"You're twenty-seven..."

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"Call me 'sister'."

You used to call me Yu Ran.

Gu Yan's lips twitched.

"...Yu Ran".

"I see."

"I mean, you're hugging too tightly."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Those cold eyes held little expression.

But what she said stunned Gu Yan.

"What's wrong?"

"Gu Yan, don't you like it?"

Gu Yan was completely stunned.

What's going on?

When did this iceberg goose start saying such things?

Honestly.

As a man, it would be a lie to say I don't like it.

Such a beautiful woman, such a supple body, and such close proximity.

Who wouldn't react?

But the problem is...

He really can't like him.

Getting close to the female lead means a short life; falling in love means falling into an abyss.

He forced himself to speak.

"……dislike."

Pei Yuran was stunned.

She stared at Gu Yan and remained silent for a few seconds.

Those few seconds felt like an eternity to Gu Yan.

My heart is pounding.

then.

Pei Yuran slowly released her grip.

But she did not back down.

She stood there in front of him, her aloof and stunningly beautiful face staring at him.

There seemed to be some doubt in his eyes.

Gu Yan felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze.

"Sister Yu Ran... what's wrong?"

He spoke instinctively.

"Is it because my face isn't clean enough?"

Pei Yuran shook her head.

"Gu Yan".

She spoke, her voice still cold and aloof.

I feel like you've changed a bit.

Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah?"

"Perhaps it's just Sister Yu Ran's imagination."

Pei Yuran didn't say anything.

She suddenly reached out and took out the black short sword from her waist.

The sword was as black as ink, gleaming coldly in the morning light.

She looked at Gu Yan.

"Gu Yan, the sword you gave me."

"I always carry it with me."

Gu Yan nodded.

"Really? That's great."

Pei Yuran frowned slightly.

She felt something was very wrong.

Something is very wrong.

Many images flashed through my mind.

At that time, she had just been adopted into the Pei family.

They know nothing and can't do anything.

The cold aura you exude will always hurt others.

The way her tribesmen looked at her was a mix of mockery, contempt, and pity.

She sat alone in the corner, clutching the black sword, unsure of what to do.

Gu Yan has arrived.

He didn't say anything, but endured the pain and sat down next to her.

I sat there for a long time.

So long that she couldn't help but turn to look at him.

He smiled at her.

Then he took a piece of pastry out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"Yu Ran, I made it myself."

She was stunned.

She had never eaten such beautiful pastries before.

She took it, peeled it open, and put it in her mouth.

Very sweet.

She still remembers that sweet taste.

later.

Gu Yan would appear whenever she was feeling unwell.

Sometimes it's a piece of candy.

Sometimes it's a painting.

Sometimes it's just a simple "Yu Ran, I'm here."

Those seemingly insignificant little things were a tremendous blessing to her.

Because no one had ever been this kind to her before.

But now.

She took out the sword, and he simply said, "It's fine."

There was no laughter.

There was no longer that warm look in her eyes that she was familiar with.
