I just want to inherit the family property and don't want to fall in love

"Young Master Gu just came today, and Assistant Gu often comes over during this time."

Ye Chuxia at the side glanced at Gu You secretly, her cheeks were flushed, but no one present noticed her strangeness.

Mu Zhuyun said softly: "Xiao Xi, thanks to Gu Shao's care during this time, you should thank him for me."

"Auntie, you are too polite, Xiao Xi and I are friends."

Gu Tingjun was unusually humble, without any aggressive aura.

After everyone's explanations, Ning Xi found out that since she followed Gu Tingjun to Milan, Gu You followed Tingjun's instructions and came to visit Mu Zhuyun every now and then.

Ning Xi never expected that Gu Tingjun would be so considerate, silently taking care of her mother for her.

"Thank you, boss." Ning Xi said sincerely.

Gu Tingjun raised his hand and ruffled her short hair: "How can I thank you? If you really want to thank you, you may never be able to thank me forever."

Do my hair again!
Ning Xi turned her head away from his big hands, pursed her lips, gave him a dissatisfied look, and raised her hands to straighten her hair.

"I don't want to thank you yet."

He looked like a guinea pig, very angry, very cute, Gu Tingjun grinned silently.

The natural and intimate interaction between the two made Mu Zhuyun slightly frowned, feeling a bad feeling in her heart.

Ning Xi is already in her youth, and Gu Tingjun is handsome and talented, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't fall in love with this man.

Mu Zhuyun began to worry, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Mrs. Mu, is there something wrong with you? I'll ask the doctor to come and see."

Gu You who was at the side noticed the abnormality of Muzhuyun.

Mu Zhuyun shook her head and said: "No, I'll just rest for a while. Young Master Gu, thank you very much for coming to see me today, but I want to say a few words to Xiao Xi, so..."

"No problem, I'll wait for him at the door."

Gu Tingjun understood what Mu Zhuyun meant, and took Gu You out of the ward.

There were only their mother and daughter left in the ward, and Ning Xi immediately felt embarrassed.

After thinking about it, Ning Xi still said, "Mom, I did what you asked. The Ning family has announced that I am the heir, and I can join the company as an intern at any time."

Mu Zhuyun hummed softly, indicating that she knew.

This indifferent reaction surprised Ning Xi, she thought her mother would be very happy when she heard the news.

Mu Zhuyun was indeed very happy, but she was really scared by Gu Tingjun and Ning Xi's direct intimacy today.

If Ning Xi really fell in love with Gu Tingjun, then her life would be a tragedy.

Clearing her throat, Mu Zhuyun looked at Ning Xi seriously and asked, "Tell me honestly, have you fallen in love with Gu Tingjun? Does he know your real identity?"

ha?
Ning Xi was startled, startled by her mother's words.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

For some reason, Ning Xi felt a little guilty, her eyes flickered and she dared not look directly into Mu Zhuyun's eyes.

Her reaction made Mu Zhuyun's heart skip a beat. It seemed that what she was worried about had really happened.

"No! You can't like him, no, you can't like anyone!"

Muzhuyun became excited, and said harshly.

Although Ning Xi didn't think she was in love with Gu Tingjun, Mu Zhuyun's strong opposition still aroused her rebellion.

"Why can't I like him? That's right, I'm a boy now, so I can't have a future with him, but no one said that if I like someone, I should marry him and have children. Mom, for you, I have endured the humiliation." After so many years, it's not even certain whether you can have your own happiness in this life, why can't you think about me a little bit, even just a little bit? I'm your daughter!"

Ning Xi, who had originally complained about her mother, completely broke out under Mu Zhuyun's stern warning.

Ning Xi didn't understand, she had never understood her mother's decision for so many years.

The reason why she obediently stayed at Ning's house and completed her mother's tasks was nothing more than her love for her mother.

From the bottom of her heart, what Ning Xi longed for more was the days when she and her mother depended on each other when they were young.

At that time, although their lives were poor and they had no money, at least she was happy, at least her mother could always be by her side.

At that time, she could feel her mother's love for her.

Ning Xi's tears welled up in her eyes, but she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from flowing out.

Mu Zhuyun sighed, she didn't know that her daughter had such resentment, but what could she do?

Seeing her silent, Ning Xi was really disappointed. At this moment, her mother didn't even feel guilty at all.

"Mom, rest, I'll go back first. I'm going to take the exam soon, and I'm going to enter the company for an internship. I don't have much time to come here recently. Take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Ning Xi walked towards the door. The moment she turned around, she raised her hand to wipe away the hot tears from her eyes.

Walking out of the ward, she saw Gu You and Ye Chuxia chatting in front of the nurse's station not far away, while Gu Tingjun was on the phone at the end of the corridor.

When Gu Tingjun saw Ning Xi coming out, he walked towards her, explained a few words to the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

Walking in front of Ning Xi, Gu Tingjun was about to speak, but his eyes fell on her red and swollen lips.

"Why are your lips bleeding?"

Frowning slightly, Gu Tingjun took out a piece of tissue, raised his hand and gently wiped off the bright red on his lips.

Just now her mother suspected that there was some ambiguity between them, and now she was treated so tenderly by Gu Tingjun, Ning Xi panicked and subconsciously took half a step back.

"I, I'll do it myself."

Reaching out to take the paper in Gu Tingjun's hand, Ning Xi escaped out of the building.

Although it was only for a split second, Gu Tingjun was keenly aware of Ning Xi's rapidly blushing cheeks.

Little thing, are you shy?

Gu Tingjun was taken aback for a moment, then stepped up to follow.

I don't know if it was because of her mother's suspicion, but Ning Xi felt that she couldn't be as close as brother to Gu Tingjun as before.

Using her preparation for the exam as an excuse, she politely declined Gu Tingjun's dinner appointment, and even declined the recent cooking for Gu Tingjun.

Back at the rental house, Ning Xi lay powerlessly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Although she spoke righteous words in front of her mother and was full of grievances, but now when she is alone, she still thinks seriously about her mother's words.

Did she really like Gu Tingjun?
Even Ning Xi herself couldn't answer this question.

Saying that he likes him doesn't seem to have that heart-pounding feeling.

But if he said that he didn't have any feelings for him, it didn't seem to be the case at all.

He is not only her first and only man, but also helps her and takes care of her again and again during this time.

Facing such an outstanding man, it is hard for any woman not to be moved.
