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

Gu Yan was completely stunned.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

Pei Yuran was also looking at him.

Those icy blue eyes were calm and focused.

But the words she said made Gu Yan's heart skip a beat.

He quickly spoke up.

"Yu Ran, don't talk nonsense."

"Aunt Youyi is your mother."

"How could she...?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"I know she's my mother."

He paused for a moment.

That's why I asked you.

He paused again.

"Gu Yan".

She said earnestly.

"Stay away from her from now on."

Gu Yan was stunned.

Should we stay away from her?

What does that mean?

He opened his mouth.

Why?

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"because……"

She paused.

It seems like they are organizing their thoughts.

"Because something's wrong with her."

"The way she's looking at you is weird."

"What she did to you was also wrong."

"She held your hand for so long today."

"She kept staring at you all day, staring so intently."

"She today..."

She paused.

"The way she looked at you at the restaurant today."

"It's like watching..."

She thought about it.

"It's like looking at someone you like."

Gu Yan was completely lost.

He looked at Pei Yuran's serious face.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

How does this silly goose know everything?

And why is it said so bluntly?

He took a deep breath.

"Yu Ran, you've really misunderstood."

"Aunt Youyi is just..."

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"Just what?"

Gu Yan opened her mouth.

Just what?

Is he just seen as a junior?

But should the younger generation hold hands?

Do I need to keep staring at it?

Should I dance for him?

He himself felt it didn't make sense.

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"Gu Yan".

I know you don't believe me.

He paused for a moment.

"But I'm telling the truth."

He paused again.

"Mom, she..."

She thought about it.

"Mom probably didn't even realize it herself."

"But she treats you differently."

Gu Yan fell silent.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

Under the moonlight, her face was serene and exquisitely beautiful.

Those icy blue eyes were looking at him intently.

He suddenly felt a little confused.

It's a complete mess.

He remembered the dance that night.

I recall Pei Youyi's appearance under the moonlight.

He recalled the look in her eyes when she looked at him.

I remembered what she said.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for letting me dare to jump."

"Xiao Yan, you can call me 'older sister' in private."

"Xiao Yan, don't you want to know what my second favorite thing is?"

And tonight too.

She took his hand as soon as she entered the room.

They held each other so tightly.

They just wouldn't let go.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, you..."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"Um?"

Gu Yan thought for a moment.

"Do you really think that Aunt Youyi treats me...?"

He didn't finish speaking.

But the meaning is obvious.

Pei Yuran nodded.

"Um."

He paused for a moment.

"I saw it very clearly."

He paused again.

"So you should stay away from her."

Gu Yan smiled bitterly.

"Yu Ran, she is your mother."

Pei Yuran nodded.

"I know."

He paused for a moment.

That's why I told you to stay away from her.

Gu Yan was stunned.

This logic...

He's having a hard time keeping up.

Pei Yuran continued.

She is my mother.

"So I don't want to see her..."

She thought about it.

"I don't want to see her like that."

He paused for a moment.

"I don't want to see you either..."

He paused again.

"I don't want to see you being looked at like that by her."

Gu Yan was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

That aloof and stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless.

But those icy blue eyes held emotions he couldn't understand.

The emotions were very complex.

There is seriousness, determination, and one more thing...

Wronged?

Gu Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.

He remained silent for a long time.

Then he sighed.

"Yu Ran".

"I know you mean well."

He paused for a moment.

"But Aunt Youyi really is just..."

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"Just what?"

Gu Yan opened her mouth.

Just what?

He couldn't say it.

Even he himself wasn't sure what Pei Youyi really was.

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"Gu Yan".

"Listen to me."

"Stay away from her."

He paused for a moment.

"I don't want to see you..."

She thought about it.

"I don't want to see you taken away by her."

Gu Yan was stunned.

Steal it?

What does that mean?

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, you..."

Pei Yuran was also looking at him.

Those icy blue eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

But what she said made Gu Yan completely lose her composure.

"You are mine."

He paused for a moment.

"It's all mine."

He paused again.

"No one can take it from me."

Gu Yan was dumbfounded.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

That stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless.

But those eyes were terrifyingly serious.

He opened his mouth.

What do you want to say?

But he couldn't say anything.

There was only one thought in my mind.

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

And you said it so confidently?

He took a deep breath.

"Yu Ran, I don't belong to anyone."

"I am my own person."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"You are my brother."

He paused for a moment.

"My brother is mine."

Gu Yan: "..."

That's the logic.

He was truly convinced.

He thought about it and decided to rephrase it.

"Yu Ran, do you know what 'liking' means?"

Pei Yuran nodded.

"Know."

Gu Yan was taken aback.

"You know?"

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"If you like something, that's..."

She thought about it.

"I just want to be together forever."

"I just want to see him."

"I just want him to only look at me."

He paused for a moment.

"Just like I do for you."

Gu Yan was completely lost.

Holy crap.

Where did this silly goose see these words?

Is this something she could say?

He looked at Pei Yuran.

Under the moonlight, her face was serene and exquisitely beautiful.

Those icy blue eyes were looking at him intently.

A complex emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.

There was emotion, helplessness, and a little bit more...

An inexplicable flutter of emotion.

But he quickly suppressed it.

He took a deep breath.

"Yu Ran, what you're talking about is called possession."

"It's not called liking."

Pei Yuran tilted her head.

Is there a difference?

Gu Yan nodded.

"have."

"To like someone is to want them to be happy."

"I just hope he's doing well."

Even if he's not with you, you still want him to be happy.

"To possess someone is to only want them to belong to you."

"Whether he's happy or not, whether he wants to or not."

"As long as he's by your side, that's enough."

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, do you understand?"

Pei Yuran fell silent.

She lowered her head and thought for a long time.

Then he raised his head and looked at Gu Yan.

"I see."

He paused for a moment.

"But I still want you to belong only to me."

Gu Yan: "..."

He took a deep breath.

"Yu Ran, you..."

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"Gu Yan".

"I know I don't understand these things."

He paused for a moment.

"But I can learn."

He paused again.

"Teach me."

Gu Yan was stunned.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

That stunningly beautiful face remained aloof.

But those eyes held an unprecedented seriousness.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.
