Sitting in the store, several people ordered several home-cooked dishes.

Gu Nanzhi's phone rang suddenly, but she didn't pay much attention, and directly connected the phone.

Qin Heran's voice came from over there: "Miss Gu, are you back home? I just suddenly found out that you dropped a necklace on me when we were watching fireflies together."

Gu Nanzhi's cell phone is hands-free.

Qin Heran's voice was very clear in the quiet box.

In an instant, the expressions of several people present changed.

Especially Pei Lichuan, who had an ugly expression on his face.

Gu Nanzhi also realized the embarrassment, and after saying sorry, he quickly walked out with his mobile phone and continued the conversation with Qin Heran outside.

When she touched it, the necklace around her neck was indeed gone.

That's what I wear all the time.

It may be that the things she encountered in the past few days shocked her a lot, so she didn't pay more attention.

In order not to continue to have any communication with Qin Heran, Gu Nanzhi quickly said, "It's okay, it's just a worthless necklace, if you lose it, just throw it away. Please, Mr. Qin, please deal with it casually."

Qin Heran chuckled lightly.

He went on to say, "How can I throw it away? Well, I'll keep it for you, Miss Gu, and I'll give it to you in person when we meet next time."

Then there will be no next time.

Gu Nanzhi quickly denied: "No need, just throw it away."

But Qin Heran didn't do what she wanted, he opened his mouth, regardless of Gu Nanzhi's thoughts, "Then it's settled first, I'll save it for you, Miss Gu, and return it to you when we meet next time."

Gu Nanzhi: "..."

Seeing his firm attitude, she couldn't say much, so she could only respond perfunctorily, and then hung up the phone.

It seemed that before she walked in, she had already prepared her mentally.

The phone call just now was so sudden that Ye Man and the others were probably stunned.

As soon as he walked in, Ye Man's playful eyes passed over: "Nan Zhi, who's calling, why didn't I know there was such a man by your side? Why are you still watching fireflies together?"

After asking a series of questions, Gu Nanzhi scolded Ye Man secretly.

She definitely did it on purpose. Seeing Pei Lichuan here, she wanted to help her anger Pei Lichuan.

Seeing that Gu Nanzhi didn't answer herself, Ye Man continued to ask with ill intentions: "Why don't you talk anymore, are you shy? Oh, don't be embarrassed."

Gu Nanzhi glared at her quietly before explaining: "It's just a man I met during the few days I went out to play, it doesn't matter."

After finishing speaking, she was afraid that Ye Man would continue to ask questions, so she quickly brought her a dish to tell her to shut up.

Pei Lichuan sat aside, not saying a word.

The meal was a bit embarrassing.

The whole process was either Ye Man and Xiao Beichen unintentionally showing off their affection, or Ye Man and Gu Nanzhi playing lip service.

Pei Lichuan basically didn't say a word.

After dinner, Gu Nanzhi planned to take Gu Xiaofei back.

Pei Lichuan stood up straight away, with a calm expression and said calmly, "I'll take you back."

Gu Nanzhi immediately refused, "No need, Xiaofei and I will just take a taxi back, and I won't bother you."

Pei Lichuan has already picked up the car keys, "No trouble, I just happened to go over there to do some business, don't be too polite, let's go."

Gu Nanzhi turned to Ye Man for help.

Just as Ye Man was about to speak, Xiao Beichen opened the mouth first, "I'm going to take Manman for a prenatal check-up later, it just so happens, let Li Chuan take you back, we are all friends."

In desperation, Gu Nanzhi could only agree.

Sitting in Pei Lichuan's back seat, she felt restless as if a needle had grown on the seat.

Gu Xiaofei didn't care how strange the atmosphere was among the adults. He just grabbed Gu Nanzhi's hand and asked childishly, "Mom, where did you go to play this time? Was it fun?"

Gu Nanzhi interrupted him solemnly: "Mom is on a business trip."

In the next second, he was ruthlessly corrected by Gu Xiaofei.

He raised his small face, full of seriousness, "Mom, don't lie to me, Aunt Man Man told me that you went to the team building together with Uncle Xiaotian and the others."

Gu Nanzhi: "..." Damn it.

How could Ye Man tell Gu Xiaofei about this?

How much does it affect his image in his mind?

She could only explain in embarrassment: "Xiao Fei, it's not that mom doesn't take you there, it's mainly because you are in school. Mom promises to take you to the amusement park next weekend, okay?"

Gu Xiaofei's eyes glowed: "Okay."

Gu Xiaofei was dealt with in a few words.

Pei Lichuan, who was concentrating on driving ahead, suddenly let out a chuckle.

Gu Nanzhi looked in the rearview mirror, met his smiling eyes, and thought silently: Why are you smiling.

Gu Xiaofei still pestered Gu Nanzhi, wanting to hear about her going out to play, "Mom, just tell me, I heard an uncle call you just now, talking about watching fireflies, is it good, Mom?"

In the rearview mirror, Pei Lichuan's expression turned cold instantly.

Gu Nanzhi thought to himself, you really don't know which pot to open and which pot to lift.

Naturally, Gu Nanzhi didn't dare to say much about what happened in Tongcheng Mountain Villa, so he could only make up lies to deceive Gu Xiaofei: "The mountain villa my mother went to is very beautiful, there are fireflies all over the sky, and there are many flowers, it is very beautiful."

Gu Xiaofei's eyes widened when he heard this.

He took Gu Nanzhi's hand, and said pitifully, "Mom, I want to go too."

Gu Nanzhi patted his head kindly, "But there is one bad thing there, that is, there are monsters. Let's not go there. When you are on summer vacation, mom will take you to a better place to play."

monster?

Although he was only five years old, Gu Xiaofei knew that these things were all fake.

Maybe it's all Gu Nanzhi's excuse to lie to himself.

But he still nodded seriously: "Okay."

Pei Lichuan in front, after hearing the conversation between the mother and the son, felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

How nice it would be if they were a family.

But he has already lost Gu Nanzhi, and he can never go back to the past.

He drove Gu Nanzhi and Gu Xiaofei downstairs. Gu Nanzhi held Gu Xiaofei's hand, and said to Pei Lichuan politely and distantly: "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Pei Lichuan didn't take it seriously: "It's fine."

Gu Xiaofei also thanked Pei Lichuan in a dignified way, and then said, "Uncle Bad Guy, do you want to go up and sit down too?"

Gu Nanzhi:?

Would you like to see what you're talking about?

Sometimes it's not a good thing to teach your son too much manners.

But Gu Xiaofei had already asked, and Gu Nanzhi couldn't say much, so he could only stand aside, quietly looking at Pei Lichuan with a false smile.

Pei Lichuan chuckled and patted Gu Xiaofei's head: "I still have something to do, so don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to the mother and son, and drove away directly.
