CHAPTER 541: 541: SIMPLY A GOD-LIKE ASSIST

Gu Tong swallowed a gulp...

Inwardly, she gave her big brother a thumbs up, he was simply a god-like assist!

Though, she had no idea why her brother said that.

However, she knew her crisis was temporarily averted.

"Brother-in-law was just wondering if the food was edible!"

Li Yan took the opportunity to ruin the moment!

But more so for the unknown truth.

Because he could clearly feel that Gu Qing’s words back then were not feigned!

But were emotions genuinely revealed...

"I used to cook terribly, my brother ate quite a lot of dark cuisine, so he’s scared."

Gu Tong explained.

But also worried that Gu Qing might slip up.

If Li Yan noticed something was amiss then...

"Yes, yes, yes! You have no idea! The stuff she made back then was really awful!"

Gu Qing went along, putting on an act!

"So that’s how it is."

Li Yan’s deep pupils briefly paused, seemingly no longer an issue.

However, it felt more like something fundamental was hidden within! Temporarily undiscoverable.

It gave an illusion that all the peace was merely surface level.

Undeniably, Li Yan’s investigative ability was sharp and accurate.

Moreover, almost immediately, he perceived everything!

And also detected the subtle issues with Gu Tong.

Even if it was just a little, he didn’t want to overlook it, he genuinely wanted to know everything about his little woman.

"The relationship between my sister and me is actually quite good, back then, Gu Tong’s first white coat was custom-made by me!"

Gu Qing’s words had ’absolutely no element of showing off’! With a tone full of factual statements.

In fact, thinking back, over the years, he’s indeed bought many things for Gu Tong.

As long as he saw something pretty, he would find a way to buy it for his sister.

So, it was okay to feel a little smug.

Li Yan nodded politely.

He lowered his gaze, but there was no emotion.

Seeing Li Yan silent, Gu Qing felt much more balanced.

Completely feeling like he had triumphed over his brother-in-law.

After drinking some wine, the floodgates opened, and words came pouring out.

Most of what he talked about were stories from their childhood.

He spoke with abandon, while the other two didn’t stop him...

Moreover, they were captivated by his words.

Li Yan found their childhood stories exceptionally good, listening intently, wanting to know more.

As for Gu Tong...

She was lost in memories...

She couldn’t help but recall all the pampering she received from her brother.

And how she had once disappointed him!

Everything seemed to have a contrast...

This life, she was determined to treasure her family twice as much!

To give them the honor they deserved, and no longer let her family bear infamy because of her.

They drank and ate, and time unknowingly passed by swiftly.

The effect of the red wine was strong, Gu Qing drank nearly half a bottle and felt somewhat drowsy.

Fortunately, his alcohol tolerance was good, so he wasn’t completely drunk.

It was getting late.

Ultimately, he couldn’t stay to disturb their rest.

Gu Qing had a sense of propriety regarding this.

After exchanging a few simple words, Gu Qing prepared to leave.

The couple escorted him to the door, ensuring he was safe before turning back to go inside.

However...

Before the door was closed, they noticed a female figure standing at the bottom of the stairs.

No need to guess, the person was none other than Mo Zishuang!
