“Dad — ? !”

“… I swear!”

Gu Nianzhi and Xiao Ye cried out almost at the same time.

At the same time, Huo Shaoheng, who was about to walk into the living room, stopped in his tracks.

He did not continue walking forward. Instead, he quietly took a step back and stood at the back of the corridor from the dining room to the living room.

“Dad! Why are you talking like that? !”Although Gu Nianzhi would definitely protect Lu Jin, she was still shocked to hear Lu Jin say something like that.

Was his interpersonal disorder getting worse?

Or did something else happen last night that she did not know about?

Xiao Ye had already raised his weak right arm, he looked in Gu Nianzhi’s direction and said, “I swear! “I will never steal any of Miss Gu Nianzhi’s men, be it in the past, the present, or the future. I, Xiao Ye, will never take a step closer to any man who has anything to do with Miss Gu Nianzhi!”

Gu Nianzhi was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in. However, when she looked at Lu Jin beside her, who had a nervous expression on his face, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

This person, who did not care about the price of face, was not afraid of ridicule and awkwardness, and only cared about her, truly loved her like her life.

This kind of relationship was something that only her parents could do.

Looking at it from another angle, she was no longer embarrassed.

Gu Nianzhi gently held onto Lu Jin’s arm and nodded at him. She smiled and said, “Dad, you don’t have to do this. Are you looking down on your daughter’s charm by doing this?”

“Of course not.”Lu Jin denied it. “You’re my girl. You’re the smartest and most beautiful girl in the world.”

“That’s right. I’m the smartest and most beautiful girl in the world. Why wouldn’t I Like My Man?”Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes and smiled.

“But what if…”Lu Jin was a scientist. He preferred to exhaust all possibilities and did not want to leave any loose ends. He said with mixed feelings,”… some men will like the new and dislike the old.”

Gu Nianzhi chuckled and said with a smile, “If that man likes the new and hates the old and is snatched away by someone else, then it’s because I have poor taste in men.”

“And you should thank the woman who snatched him away… at least she helped me take away the trash, so that I won’t spend the rest of my life living with trash without realizing it and think I’ve picked up a treasure.”

Lu Jin frowned and thought for a moment. “That makes sense.”

“That’s more like it!”Gu Nianzhi patted Lu Jin’s shoulder in satisfaction. “I know you want to prepare for the future and try to nip all possible mishaps in the bud.”

“But when it comes to relationships, there’s no need to prepare for the future.”Gu Nianzhi said as her gaze swept over the corridor leading to the restaurant.

Even though she couldn’t see it, Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng was definitely standing in the shadows.

It would be fine if he didn’t come out, but if he did, Xiao Ye and general Xiao would have nowhere to hide.

“Why doesn’t a relationship need to plan ahead?”Lu Jin couldn’t understand.

A scientist’s mind couldn’t work in the face of a relationship.

The smile on Gu Nianzhi’s face grew wider. Under the crystal lamp in the living room, her face seemed to glow. Her face was so beautiful that it couldn’t be stared at.

Thinking back to everything that had happened along the way with Huo Shaoheng, Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and said, “Because relationships can not be planned or controlled. I don’t want to restrict the other party…”

Her eyes rolled around. “Similarly, I don’t want the other party to restrict me. Even if we’re together, it doesn’t mean we’re bound by the other party.”

“We’re independent individuals. We don’t exist according to the other party.”

“So if someone tries to snatch something from me, she won’t be snatching it from me.”

“Since it’s not mine, then whether she steals or steals, or swindles or swindles, it has nothing to do with me.”

“You can’t threaten sister Xiao Ye with something that doesn’t belong to me.”

Lu Jin understood her logic and nodded vigorously. “Well said! That’s right! My Lady is so good. There are plenty of people who like my lady! How few are there…”

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips. “Young master he is not suitable. Please don’t think about it anymore.”

Lu Jin’s words made Gu Nianzhi feel even more guilty. She knew that he was her half-brother and did not take it seriously. Gu Nianzhi also admired Lu Jin’s straightforwardness.

General Xiao was even more ashamed by Gu Nianzhi’s words.

He looked Gu Nianzhi in the eye again and sized her up carefully. He sighed in his heart.

He had to admit that Gu Nianzhi was more suitable for Huo Shaoheng than his daughter, Xiao Ye.

Putting everything else aside, her free and easy bearing and quick-witted improvisation were better than most of the daughters of wealthy families.

Apart from being able to fight, her own daughter was inferior to Gu Nianzhi in every other aspect. Even her beautiful looks, which she used to be proud of, now seemed to be on par with Gu Nianzhi.

As for her family background, Huo Shaoheng did not even care about the daughter of the Prime Minister, let alone the daughter of a lieutenant general like him.

Xiao Ye was also embarrassed by Gu Nianzhi’s words.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Nianzhi with a complicated expression. She said softly, “Nianzhi, although you’re much younger than me, you’re much more mature in love than I am.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Ye really… had extraordinary feelings for Huo Shaoheng?

Her father wasn’t making things up out of thin air?

If that was true, then she had really wronged Lu Jin just now.

Gu Nianzhi blinked. Her fine, Thick Black eyelashes fluttered in the air like butterfly wings.

“… it’s not illegal to like someone, but this kind of liking can’t compare to how much I love myself.”Xiao Ye was going all out. She knew that it was useless to hide in front of smart people like Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin, it would only make the other party feel bad for her.

For smart people, the most important quality was honesty.

And it was only after she knew that she could fully recover that she realized that what she really cared about was not a vague crush on a man, but her own integrity.

Lu Jin gave a look of “I knew it.”He chuckled and said, “Then can you really guarantee that if I let you recover, you won’t be too greedy?”

Xiao Ye didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said in a deep voice, “When I was intact, I didn’t do anything. Later, I was beaten until I was disabled, and then I couldn’t control myself.”

When a person was in pain, they were more fragile than usual, and they would have many thoughts.

“I know this is wrong, and I haven’t really thought about doing anything. Your words only let me understand my own thoughts.”

She only wanted to return to her job. She realized that her desire for work was far greater than being married to a man.

Lu Jin nodded. “But I’ll still say it this way. If one day you regret it, I have the medicine of regret here. If you take it, I guarantee that you’ll recover to your current state.”

Xiao Ye:”…”

Lu Yuan had been standing behind Lu Jin with a half-smile the whole time. When he saw that Lu Jin was almost about to agree to perform the surgery with a few words from someone else.., he then said, “General Xiao, Miss Xiao Ye, don’t be anxious. The surgery is such a big deal. Don’t you want to discuss it with President Chen Before You Come Back?”

“President Chen has always been biased against Professor Lu. If the surgery goes wrong, you won’t blame Professor Lu, but it might be President Chen.”

General Xiao and Xiao Ye understood Lu Yuan’s hidden meaning.

Both of them blushed.

General Xiao said seriously, “I know. Old Chen went too far yesterday. I’ll go back and have a good talk with her today.”

Xiao ye nodded vigorously. “My mother was too anxious about my injury. If she knew…”

Lu Yuan interrupted her and said gently, “Miss Xiao Ye, even if professor Lu can’t perform the surgery on you, your mother still owes professor Lu and Nianzhi an apology.”

“That’s not the same thing. Are you going to stop apologizing if you don’t perform the surgery?”

Xiao ye lowered her head and said in a low voice, “My mother is a very proud person, and I will try my best to convince her. However, as her daughter, I should apologize to Professor Lu and Miss Gu Nianzhi on behalf of my mother.”

Gu Nianzhi felt very regretful. She had once liked Xiao Ye, a beautiful and capable young lady, so much that she had been shot ten times in a row to protect her..

Gu Nianzhi’s heart softened at the thought of Xiao Ye’s pain.

“President Chen, you can just apologize to my father. I accept Miss Xiao Ye’s apology,”Gu Nianzhi said politely.

From sister Xiao Ye to Miss Xiao Ye, they were close and distant.

Xiao Ye looked at her and calmed down.

“Thank you, Miss Gu, for giving me this opportunity.”Xiao Ye looked up at her and said stubbornly, “Even if the surgery doesn’t succeed, I Won’t blame anyone. But as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I won’t give up.”
