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

The teachers exchanged glances, understanding each other without saying a word.

Also.

Master Gu was a prodigy in his youth, a gem of the empire.

And she's so good-looking.

It's normal to be liked by an S-class superhuman, right?

Let alone S-class, even the daughters of wealthy families who want to marry Master Gu could line up from Beijing to Shanghai.

Zhou Mingyuan coughed.

"Master Gu is too modest."

he laughed.

"Whether she's my sister or not, we'll remember this favor."

He paused.

"If Master Gu needs anything in the future, please feel free to ask."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan nodded subconsciously.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

The teachers looked at him with great respect.

But there was a hint of awkwardness in it.

And what Zhou Mingyuan said.

What do you mean by "regardless of whether she's my sister or not"?

Something doesn't seem right about that.

He looked at Zhou Mingyuan and spoke.

"Teacher Zhou, have you misunderstood something?"

Zhou Mingyuan was taken aback.

A hint of unease flashed across his face.

Misunderstand?

What's the misunderstanding?

Master Gu's meaning is...

His mind works incredibly fast.

It's actually quite normal for Master Gu to be a bit of a womanizer.

Young and promising, a gem of the empire, and so handsome.

What does it matter if you have a few female confidantes?

But the problem is...

Imperial Jade is a role model for young people.

This kind of thing can't be said openly.

He immediately realized what was happening.

Step forward and lower your voice.

"Don't worry, Master Gu."

He said earnestly.

"I've already cleared the area."

"I guarantee that no one will know."

He paused.

"It's only natural for young people to be romantic."

"We will protect Master Gu's reputation."

Gu Yan was completely distraught after hearing this.

What does it mean to protect his reputation?

What did he do?

He just has two younger sisters.

One was a acquaintance, and the other...

Okay, Shen Youyao isn't a blood relative either.

But he really didn't do anything!

He opened his mouth, as if to explain.

"No, Teacher Zhou, please listen to me..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Youyao buried her head in his arms.

It was buried very deep.

She pressed her face against his chest and sobbed softly.

His shoulders were trembling.

Gu Yan swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

He glanced down at it.

The girl nestled in his arms, looking pitiful.

Forget it.

What are we explaining now?

The more I explain, the more confused I get.

He sighed.

My gaze swept around and I saw a beef noodle shop on the street corner.

The shop is small, and the signboard is a bit old.

But a fragrance wafted from inside, and it smelled quite tempting.

He looked down and asked Shen Youyao.

"Youyao, have you eaten?"

Shen Youyao nestled in his arms and spoke softly.

"not yet……"

Her voice was soft and thin, tinged with tears.

Gu Yan nodded.

"Then let's eat and chat."

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Mingyuan.

"Teacher Zhou, I'll take her to get something to eat."

"There are some things I want to ask her."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded quickly.

"Please proceed, Master Gu."

He pointed around.

"I'll handle things here, don't worry."

Gu Yan then looked at the law enforcement officers who had arrived.

I nodded to them as a greeting.

Then he looked down at Shen Youyao.

The girl was still nestled in his arms, showing no sign of moving.

Gu Yan was helpless.

He stretched out his hand.

He took Shen Youyao's hand.

It's very soft and very small.

But it's a bit chilly.

Shen Youyao's body trembled slightly.

Then obediently follow him.

The two walked toward the beef noodle shop on the street corner.

Shen Youyao walked unsteadily.

My steps were unsteady, as if I were walking on cotton.

My emotions are still very unstable.

Gu Yan sighed.

He held her hand tightly and led her slowly away.

But he was thinking about something else.

I originally planned to keep a low profile when I came out with Pei Yuran this time.

Find a security company and ask about lifetime bodyguards.

Now look what's happened.

They've caused such a big commotion.

Even if Zhou Mingyuan handles the aftermath, he still has some worries.

With the terrifying information networks of the Chen and Lin families.

Will we be unable to find him?

Gu Yan felt that he still needed to leave the Pei family as soon as possible.

There's always a sense of foreboding.

Lost in thought, I arrived at the store entrance.

The two went inside.

The shop is small, with only five or six tables.

It's been tidied up quite well.

A female boss wearing an apron came to greet us.

He was probably in his forties, with a round face and a kind smile.

"What would you two like to eat?"

She asked.

His gaze swept over the two of them.

Gu Yan found a seat by the window and sat down with Shen Youyao.

The female owner came over with the menu.

She glanced outside and asked in a low voice.

"Handsome guy/beautiful lady, what just happened outside?"

"They were both the enforcers and the clearing crew."

Gu Yan remained unfazed.

"The monsters of the Black Tide are coming."

He paused.

"It's alright now."

The female boss patted her chest.

"Oh dear, even Jinghai is this dangerous?"

She looked at the two of them and said earnestly.

"Handsome guys and beautiful girls, be careful."

"Run immediately if you encounter danger."

Gu Yan nodded.

"Okay, thank you, boss."

The female boss asked again.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Gu Yan glanced at the menu.

"Two bowls of beef noodles."

"Mildly spicy".

The female boss responded and turned to go to the kitchen.

Without stopping, he quickly brought out two bowls of noodles.

The soup is a bright red color, the beef is tender and juicy, and it is sprinkled with bright green scallions.

Steaming hot, with a wonderful aroma.

Gu Yan looked at Shen Youyao.

The girl sat opposite, her head down.

He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.

He didn't say a word.

Gu Yan spoke up.

"Youyao, didn't you not eat?"

He said softly.

"Eat."

Shen Youyao raised her head.

Those eyes, hidden behind black-rimmed glasses, were red.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes.

She looked at Gu Yan and spoke with a sob in her voice.

"Brother Gu Yan... I'm sorry..."

"I've caused you trouble again..."

The sound was very soft and quiet.

But it makes people feel sorry for them.

Gu Yan's heart softened a little.

He reached out and patted her head.

"fine."

He said softly.

"Eat first."

"I'll chat with you for a while after we finish eating."

Shen Youyao nodded.

She picked up her chopsticks and lowered her head to eat her noodles.

He took a bite, then looked up at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan also picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

"Don't worry, I'll eat it."

Shen Youyao was relieved and continued eating with her head down.

The two ate slowly.

But it didn't take long before both bowls of noodles were empty.

Shen Youyao put down her chopsticks and touched her stomach.

I feel a little satisfied.

But soon, she lowered her head again.

She realized that she might have caused trouble for Gu Yan.

I didn't dare to look at him.

Gu Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at her.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Then he spoke.

"Youyao".

Shen Youyao's body trembled slightly.

"Tell me the truth."

Gu Yan looked at her and said seriously.

When did your second personality begin to emerge?

Upon hearing this, Shen Youyao...

His body suddenly stiffened.

Her delicate body began to tremble.

She looked up at Gu Yan.

Those eyes were filled with panic.

"Brother Gu Yan..."

Her voice trembled.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't quite understand..."

Gu Yan shook her head.

He looked into her eyes and said earnestly.

"Youyao, tell me the truth."

"How could that person have been you?"

Shen Youyao looked at him.

Looking into Gu Yan's earnest eyes.

Her mind was in complete turmoil.

She had promised her sister.

We must not expose her.

I can't tell anyone.

but……

But Gu Yan asked her.

How could she lie?

How could she bear to lie to him?
