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

I walked out of the clothing store.

Sunlight streamed down and fell on the two of them.

Gu Yan was wearing the black suit, and Pei Yuran was wearing the moon-white cheongsam.

The two of them standing together looked like a painting.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Gu Yan looked at Pei Yuran beside her.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

He leaned closer to her and lowered his voice.

"Yu Ran".

Pei Yuran turned her head.

"Um?"

Gu Yan said softly.

"Was this really worn by that ancestral lady?"

Pei Yuran nodded.

"Um."

Gu Yan was stunned.

"Then...then is this garment I'm wearing worn by that ancestor?"

Pei Yuran nodded again.

"Um."

"So I'm wearing the same clothes as that ancestor?"

"This is too much..."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yan took a deep breath.

"It's nothing."

"I just feel..."

He paused.

"The pressure is a bit much."

Pei Yuran tilted her head.

Why?

Gu Yan smiled bitterly.

"That ancestor was so powerful."

"Do I look bad in his clothes?"

Pei Yuran thought for a moment.

Then say.

"Won't."

Gu Yan looked at her.

Why not?

Pei Yuran said earnestly.

"Because you are my brother."

He paused for a moment.

"You can wear anything."

Gu Yan was stunned.

He looked at Pei Yuran.

In the sunlight, her face was exquisitely beautiful with a cool and serene expression.

But those eyes were so earnest that they made his heart race.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

This silly goose was going straight for the ball, and it was a bit hard to defend against.

However, for the sake of his own life, he couldn't possibly have too much to do with the female lead.

……

evening.

sunset.

A black luxury car slowly drove out of the Pei family's residence.

There were three people in the car.

Gu Yan, Pei Yuran, Pei Youyi.

Gu Yan looked at the scenery rushing past the window.

Then she looked at Pei Yuran beside her.

Let's look at Pei Youyi in front of us.

He suddenly realized.

Tonight's banquet.

I have a bad feeling.

The car was parked downstairs in the banquet hall.

It is a tall building in the most prosperous area of ​​Jinghai.

The entire building was brightly lit, with the banquet hall on the top floor.

Gu Yan looked out the window, still thinking about what had just happened.

Pei Youyi sat in front, remaining silent the entire time.

After leaving the storage room, she became very quiet.

She was unusually quiet.

The car came to a stop.

The driver opened the car door.

Pei Youyi remained seated.

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Aunt Youyi? We've arrived."

Pei Youyi came to her senses.

She looked out the window, then at Gu Yan and Pei Yuran.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Then she spoke.

"You may go."

"I won't go in."

Gu Yan was stunned.

Pei Yuran was also stunned.

She looked at Pei Youyi, a hint of surprise flashing in her icy blue eyes.

"Mom, aren't you going?"

Pei Youyi shook his head.

"I'm not going."

He paused for a moment.

"I'll wait for you outside."

Pei Yuran frowned slightly.

"Let's go in together."

"If you don't go, I'll go alone..."

She didn't continue.

But the meaning is obvious.

She didn't want to be alone.

Or rather, she wanted her mother to be with her.

Pei Youyi looked at her.

Looking at her daughter's aloof face.

A complex emotion suddenly welled up inside me.

She remembered many things.

I remember when Yu Ran first came to the Pei family.

A tiny person, huddled in a corner.

He was trembling all over, his eyes were vacant.

He said nothing and ate nothing.

She squatted down in front of her and coaxed her softly.

I coaxed him for three whole days.

Yu Ran was finally willing to call her "Mom".

She still remembers that "Mom" she heard.

Later, Yu Ran grew up.

It is getting stronger and stronger.

It's getting colder and colder.

But his dependence on her has never changed.

I always make her accompany me to any occasion.

If she doesn't go, then Yu Ran won't go either.

But now.

Yu Ran asked her to go in together.

It's a habit.

It's also a dependency.

But Pei Youyi knew she couldn't go in.

She thought about many things along the way.

I'm wondering what's wrong with me lately.

I wonder why seeing Yu Ran holding Xiao Yan's hand makes me feel uncomfortable.

I wonder why I danced that dance that night.

I wonder why I was staring blankly at the two of them wearing those clothes in the storage room earlier.

She thought about it for a long time.

I've finally figured something out.

She crossed the line.

As a mother, she crossed the line.

Yu Ran likes Xiao Yan.

This is Yu Ran's matter.

She should support and offer her blessings.

Instead of...

Instead of what?

She dared not think any further.

She took a deep breath.

Looking at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran".

"Mom has thought about it."

He paused for a moment.

"You've grown up."

"They have their own ideas."

"I have someone I like."

"This is a good thing."

She smiled, a gentle smile.

"Mom can't always be with you."

"Some roads you have to walk yourself."

Pei Yuran was stunned.

She looked at Pei Youyi.

For the first time, those icy blue eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

"Mother……"

Pei Youyi shook his head.

"Alright, that's enough."

"Go quickly."

"Xiao Yan is still waiting."

She looked at Gu Yan.

"Xiao Yan, take good care of Yu Ran."

Gu Yan nodded.

"Don't worry, Aunt Youyi."

Pei Youyi smiled.

Then she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

He stopped talking.

Gu Yan and Pei Yuran exchanged a glance.

Then get off the bus.

The car door closed.

The car was parked quietly on the side of the road.

Pei Youyi sat inside, looking out the window.

Watching their figures disappear into the elevator.

Then she sighed softly.

"Yu Ran..."

"Mom can only stay with you this far."

"You'll have to walk the rest of the way yourself."

……

Inside the elevator.

Gu Yan looked at Pei Yuran.

Pei Yuran was also looking at him.

Neither of them spoke.

A few seconds passed.

Gu Yan spoke first.

"Yu Ran, Aunt Youyi, she..."

Pei Yuran shook her head.

"Stop talking."

He paused for a moment.

"Mom has her own ideas."

Gu Yan nodded.

He stopped talking.

He took out his phone.

Open a website.

This is from his previous collection.

The largest bodyguard recruitment website in China.

They specialize in hiring bodyguards for wealthy people.

Those who can access this website are all top-tier experts who have officially registered.

The lowest grade is B.

He had seen it a few times before, but had never posted about it.

Today is an opportunity.

He opened the release page.

Start typing.

Send it out.

Just three seconds later.

The phone rang.

Gu Yan was taken aback.

So fast?

He opened the message.

It was posted by a user named "晴".

"I'll take it."

Gu Yan blinked.

reply.

"Hello, may I ask your name?"

The other party replied instantly.

"His surname is Fu."

"May I?"

Gu Yan was stunned.

Is your surname Fu?

He subconsciously thought of the Fu family.

The Fu family, whose members held high positions for four generations.

but……

How could someone from the Fu family possibly apply for a bodyguard job?

What is the status of the Fu family?

One of the most prestigious families in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Which member of the Fu family isn't a chosen one of heaven?

How could he possibly work as a bodyguard?
