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

Gu Yan coughed lightly.

"Um... Yu Ran, have you been waiting long?"

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"Um."

He paused for a moment.

"But not long after."

He paused again.

"Because you came."

Gu Yan: "..."

This silly goose, when did it learn to say such things?

He was finding it hard to keep up.

He quickly pulled out a chair and sat down.

Pei Youyi also sat down next to him.

The three of them sat down.

The waiter came over with the menu.

Pei Youyi took the menu and handed it to Gu Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you order."

Gu Yan nodded and opened the menu.

Then he froze.

This price...

An appetizer, 8888.

One soup, 12888.

One main course starts at 38888.

He silently did the math.

This meal must have cost at least tens of thousands.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

There are only a handful of companies in the world that have Miharim Samsung.

This price is normal.

He usually wouldn't spend money on himself, but now...

He was about to order food.

Pei Yuran suddenly spoke up.

"Mother."

Pei Youyi looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Yuran looked at her.

Those icy blue eyes remained calm.

But what he said stunned Pei Youyi.

"Mom, something's wrong with you today."

Pei Youyi's brows twitched slightly.

"Something's not right?"

Pei Yuran thought for a moment.

"The way you looked at Gu Yan today."

He paused for a moment.

"It's different from before."

Pei Youyi's heart skipped a beat.

But she remained gentle on the surface.

"What's different?"

Pei Yuran looked at her.

Very serious.

"You used to look at Gu Yan with the eyes of someone looking at a junior."

"Today you're looking at Gu Yan, you're looking at..."

She paused, as if searching for the right words.

"It's the look in your eyes when you look at something you like."

Pei Youyi blushed slightly.

But she quickly regained her composure.

"Yu Ran, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Yuran shook her head.

"I'm not making this up."

He paused for a moment.

"And that night too."

"You danced for Gu Yan."

Pei Youyi was completely stunned.

She opened her mouth.

What do you want to say?

But he couldn't say anything.

That stunningly beautiful face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Gu Yan was also stunned.

He looked at Pei Yuran in disbelief.

How did that silly goose know?

Wasn't she asleep that night?

Pei Yuran seemed to sense his confusion.

She looked at Gu Yan.

"I was awake."

He paused for a moment.

"I saw my mother dancing in the yard."

He paused again.

"I jumped for Gu Yan's sake."

"I've never seen my mother dance like that before."

Pei Youyi took a deep breath.

She tried to remain calm.

He coughed twice.

"Cough cough."

Then he opened his mouth.

"Yu Ran, you've misunderstood."

"I had a few drinks that night."

"Just doing some casual activities."

Pei Yuran looked at her.

"Mom, you're not telling the truth."

Pei Youyi coughed twice more.

"I……"

Pei Yuran continued.

"Moreover, the moment you walked in today, you took Gu Yan's hand."

You weren't like this before.

Pei Youyi was completely speechless.

She sat there, her face burning red.

I don't know what to say.

Gu Yan sat beside her, not daring to utter a single word.

He looked down, staring at the menu.

It seems there's something amazing on that menu.

But inside, I was screaming.

Holy crap.

How does this silly goose know everything?

This is it.

How does Aunt Youyi explain this?

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Several seconds passed.

Pei Youyi took a deep breath.

She looked up at Pei Yuran.

Speak earnestly.

"Yuran, listen to what your mother has to say."

Pei Yuran looked at her.

wait.

Pei Youyi paused, organizing his thoughts.

Then say.

"Xiao Yan is a junior colleague I really like."

"I watched him grow up from a young age."

"It's normal for me to care about him and take care of him."

"I held his hand today because..."

She thought about it.

"It's because there are many people outside, and we're afraid he'll get lost."

Gu Yan: "..."

That's an excuse.

This is getting more and more outrageous.

Pei Yuran didn't believe it either.

She just stared at Pei Youyi.

Those icy blue eyes were calm and undisturbed.

But Pei Youyi knew what her daughter was thinking.

She sighed.

Then say.

"Moreover, Yu Ran."

She looked at her daughter.

Didn't you say that?

You won't like anyone.

Pei Yuran was stunned.

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on that aloof and stunningly beautiful face.

She opened her mouth.

What do you want to say?

But he couldn't say anything.

Because she did say that.

That was a long time ago.

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

They know nothing and can't do anything.

He was ridiculed by his clan and called a bastard.

She huddled alone in a corner, clutching the black sword.

Pei Youyi walked over and squatted down in front of her.

When asked what kind of boyfriend she wanted to find in the future, Yu Ran replied...

She said it without even thinking.

I won't like anyone.

When Gu Yan left, her mother asked her again, and she gave the same answer.

But now.

Pei Youyi brought up this sentence.

Pei Yuran fell silent.

She kept her head down and didn't say anything.

That stunningly beautiful face revealed no emotion.

But her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

Holding it tightly.

Gu Yan sat in the middle.

Look left, look right.

Neither of the two women spoke.

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

He felt like he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes.

Several seconds passed.

Still, no one spoke.

Gu Yan took a deep breath.

He coughed twice.

"Cough cough."

"that……"

"Shall I order?"

Pei Youyi looked at him.

Pei Yuran also looked at him.

Both of them looked at him at the same time.

Gu Yan felt a chill run down her spine as she was stared at by those two gazes.

His lips twitched.

What I was thinking.

I took it.

How did I end up in this situation?

It's just ordering food, isn't it?

Why are you staring at me like that?

He steeled himself and opened the menu.

Let's start ordering.

"This, this, and this..."

The waiter stood beside them, quickly taking notes.

The order was finished quickly.

The waiter took the menu and left.

The table fell silent again.

Pei Youyi remained silent.

Pei Yuran remained silent.

Gu Yan sat in the middle, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He looked out the window.

The night view is beautiful.

But he wasn't interested in watching.

Then I looked at the appetizers on the table.

Very exquisite.

But he had no appetite.

Just then.

I heard some quiet conversation coming from the next table.

The sound was very soft.

But Gu Yan had good hearing and heard it clearly.

"Who is that man? I've never seen him before."

"I don't know, but someone who can get Patriarch Pei to accompany them personally must be extraordinary."

"Look at him, he is indeed handsome, but his complexion is a bit pale."

"The sickly beauty type, many women like this type nowadays."

"What do you think his relationship is with the head of the Pei family?"

"Is that even a question? Did you see Patriarch Pei holding his hand just now?"

"Holy crap, you mean...?"

"I didn't say anything, you figured it out yourself."

"But isn't that the Pei family's number one swordsman sitting there?"

"Yes, it's her."

"Something feels off about the atmosphere."

"It sounds like they're arguing?"

"No way? The mother and daughter had a fight?"

"Look, they're not saying anything, that's definitely it."

"Who is that man sitting in the middle?"

"On one side is my mother, on the other is my daughter, what should I do?"

Gu Yan was speechless after hearing this.

Why are these people so talkative?
