India

After Mo Nan left, Ji Guiran's situation didn't seem as bad as he had imagined.

He clenched his hands into fists, and his knuckles creaked. After a while, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed himself down, and waited for Su Liyan in front of him to speak.

His gaze was on the young man who had been silent all the time. The young man received Ji Guiran's gaze and raised his eyes to meet his gaze. I wonder if it was because Ji Guiran's face was too gloomy that he would be embarrassed in the next second. avoiding his sight.

"?" Ji Guiran, who was averted, felt a little baffled, he frowned uncomfortably and continued to stare at him.

"..."

"??"

The young man couldn't stand the impact of his gaze, and finally had a little reaction. He gently tugged on the sleeve of Su Liyan next to him, and looked at her with pitiful eyes, as if saying, "Mother, that person is so scary." .

Su Liyan felt his pull, and turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.She asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoyan?"

"Mom... I want to go out."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that his complexion was not good, she stopped asking, and said, "Okay, you can go, be good, and don't trouble my sister."

"it is good."

With Su Liyan's permission, he hurriedly got up and left the place. He felt Ji Guiran's gaze stabbing him like a knife.

Su Liyan saw that Ji Guiran's eyes fell on the young man's leaving back, and he couldn't help asking: "Master Ji...why do you keep staring at Xiaoyan?"

Only then did Ji Guiran look away, and said calmly: "...it's nothing."

"His name is Su Yan, and he is my... child."

"En," Ji Guiran responded, then thought of something and added, "Follow your mother's surname?"

"That's right," Su Liyan smiled coyly, "After all... it would be great if he had a father."

"?" Ji Guiran was taken aback when he heard the words, his face was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask any more questions.Then the atmosphere fell into a moment of silence.

This time the silence was broken by Ji Guiran, he said calmly: "Sorry."

"..." Su Liyan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Young master...why do you want to say sorry, this is not something that can't be put on the table, it's just some personal reasons, but I want to share with you Mr. Ji is really destined, so it's fine to talk to you, I wonder if Mr. Ji would mind listening to Li Yan's talk?"

"You said."

"Actually, Su Yan has no blood relationship with me. When he was kicked out in Ye Country, he was one of them. Rather than being kicked out, he was abandoned by his own parents." Su Liyan He said with some distress, "He was probably born by a maid in the mansion, but as a servant, I don't have enough food for myself, so how can I take care of a newborn baby who needs to be taken care of..."

"At that time, I saw him abandoned on the side of the road. It was winter. He was crying in the cold. I felt so pitiful for him, so I felt pity for him...Despite Mrs. Zhang's obstruction to me, I picked him up Come on, I've been carrying him with me since that day..."

"..." Ji Guiran listened to her silently, his eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.It's not that he doesn't know the situation of the servants, and he also knows that their lives are very different from his own, but he still feels a little touched when he hears such stories.

"The first days were very difficult. The three of them were wandering in Yeguo with no one to rely on, and there was a half-old baby who needed to be taken care of. But fortunately, they all endured it," she recalled. "Xiaoyan grew up. After a while, she became more and more sensible and would not cause us any trouble, but unfortunately, she was too taciturn and her personality was too precocious, compared to her peers, I don't know if it is good or bad."

"So he called you mother?"

"Well, he has been calling me that since he can remember, and I can't bear to object to him, so I let him call me that until now." Su Liyan said, seeing Ji Guiran's complicated expression, she couldn't help Said, "It's...it's strange that a woman would accept such a child... Mrs. Zhang once advised me not to let it go, but I didn't listen."

"...It's okay." Ji Guiran responded, "It just affects you."

"That's true, but I'm still more worried about him. A child who has no father since childhood should be laughed at by others."

"Will not."

"Young Master Xie, you are comforting me," she smiled to express her gratitude, "I have long been mentally prepared for this situation. I found the entrusted person... If it hadn't happened last year, alas... What a twist of fate..."

"Don't mention this sad thing," Su Liyan stopped what she was going to say, and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I gave Xiaoyan's name to him. Is Mr. Ji interested in hearing the meaning behind it?" meaning?"

"Go ahead."

Ji Guiran returned to her calmly. At this time, his brows were slightly furrowed imperceptibly. He glanced at the empty doorway from the corner of his eye. It seemed that Mo Nan hadn't returned yet, so he clicked his tongue inaudibly. .

"My name is Su Liyan, the swallow of the swallow, and the Su Yan I gave him is the wild goose of the wild goose," she said with a smile. There is a little smell of books, and I still know a little bit about some things. Swallows come and go under the eaves of people's houses, and people always use their whereabouts to express their sentimentality. I think the person who named me should mean this."

"But wild geese are different. I have heard that geese are compared to spiritual creatures. They are migratory birds migrating from north to south. They understand benevolence and friendship. Although they come and go to different places, they remain the same from beginning to end. I appreciate it very much, so I hope Xiaoyan can become such a person, no matter where he is, he can never forget his original intention and become a man with love and righteousness."

"Well, good idea."

"It sounds very pleasant...it's just a good wish," Su Liyan said with some embarrassment, "These are words that I have buried in my heart for a long time, and for some reason I have the desire to talk to Young Master Ji. I also hope that Young Master Ji will not dislike Li Yan's vulgar views."

"No." Ji Guiran replied lightly.

"...Young Master, it seems." Seeing his indifferent appearance, Su Liyan couldn't help but say, "...he takes everything lightly, which is different from the rich kid I imagined."

"is it?"

"Most of the dandies I've met are arrogant and domineering, so I have the same view on their kind." She looked at Ji Guiran and said, "But Mr. Ji is by no means like them. I used to opinion has been shaken..."

"Everyone behaves differently. The people you mentioned are nothing more than being blinded by the world."

Maybe it's because Ji Guiran uttered such a long sentence, Su Liyan was a little surprised, and then she said awkwardly: "Well...you are right, it is true that everyone has different personalities...by the way, for example...then Mr. Mo gives people a different impression than you, Mr. Mo."

"..." Speaking of Mo Nan, Ji Guiran frowned unconsciously, and he asked, "Why is it different?"

"How should I put it..." Su Liyan pondered for a while, and said, "Forgive Liyan, compared to Mr. Ji and you, Mr. Mo gives people a very approachable feeling, as if anyone who comes into contact with him gets along well... Oh , it's not that you are scary, Mr. Ji, but you are much more serious in comparison."

"Thank you for not putting me in the same category as him." Ji Guiran said with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Hey?"

"It's nothing, I'm glad I'm not like him."

Su Liyan was a little confused: "Why do I see Mr. Ji...why do you seem to hate him so much?"

"..." Ji Guiran clicked his tongue lightly, frowned, and clenched his teeth slightly, "...well."

"why?"

"No reason."

To this answer, Su Liyan was speechless.

After a long while, she came back to her senses and said: "So that's the case, Li Yan was wrong. I thought you two should have a good relationship. I saw that when Mr. Mo looked at you, there was no disgust in his eyes, but rather Kind of...how should I put it, that gaze is like looking at someone important."

"..." Ji Guiran's smile remained at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at her with a little surprise.

"So, I don't think Mr. Mo hates you. If there is any misunderstanding between you, it's better to make it clear." Su Liyan smiled softly.

"There is no misunderstanding."

As Ji Guiran said, the sarcasm on his lips slowly faded away, the curved corners of his mouth gradually softened, the coldness between his brows and eyes dissipated, and the gentleness on his face set off his facial features Even more handsome.

Su Liyan watched the changes on his face, and it was her turn that the smile on the corner of her mouth froze. Seeing Ji Guiran's gradually softening expression, she was suddenly in a daze.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhang from outside the house came in and pulled Mo Nan behind her.

Mo Nan was hurriedly pulled into the room by Mrs. Zhang with an excited face, and saw the two people who were silent. He thought they had nothing to say, so he was about to go up and laugh at Ji Guiran, and raised his eyes Seeing that there was still a smile on his face that would not fade away in the future, he froze for a moment.

If he were to speak, the smile on Ji Guiran's mouth was something he had never seen on his face before.

Mo Nan curled his lips involuntarily.

What, didn't we have a good chat?He muttered, rolling his eyes inwardly.

"Sister? What happened? You're so excited." Seeing the look on Mrs. Zhang's face, Su Liyan asked in confusion.

Auntie Zhang was about to explain, but Mo Nan spoke up first: "It's nothing, I just want to replace Auntie Zhang as a sacrificial dancer."

"..."

"..."

The remaining two were taken aback.

"Mr. Mo... are you... sure?" Su Liyan couldn't believe it.

"Ah... oh, make sure... I have already told Mrs. Zhang, I asked for it myself. Then she said to take me to the person who is in charge of this matter first, and if it is possible, it will be settled like this ?”

"..."

"Well, that's what Mr. Mo means." Mrs. Zhang collected herself, "I think, let's take him to Fei Po's first."

"But...this..."

"It's okay, it's okay, so let's go and have a look first, the manager might not want me." Mo Nan waved his hand to express his indifference, and urged, "Let's go, Mrs. Zhang."

Unexpectedly, before he took a few steps with Mrs. Zhang, a sudden pulling force behind him stopped him.Mo Nan looked back in surprise, only to see Ji Guiran holding him with a solemn expression, preventing him from going out.

"What are you doing?" Seeing his stinky face now, Mo Nan felt inexplicably angry.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Ji Guiran asked in a deep voice.

Shocked by his intimidating words, Mo Nan lost a lot of confidence. Even so, he said angrily: "I know, don't worry about it?"

"..."

Mo Nan pulled his hand away while he was slightly stunned, then turned his head and walked out without looking at him.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the confrontational conversation between the two, was puzzled for a moment, and then followed Mo Nan out the door.The two people who stayed in the house gradually recovered from their trance.

"Master Ji, should we follow up and have a look?"

"Hmm." He replied without thinking.
