covered that her mother was murdered, and the one who killed her mother was none other than her stepmother Sun, who had tormented her for years. Her father was also an accomplice, one of the mastermin...After scattering the valuables, Qi Yunshen deliberately observed Gu Jingxi's movements and found that he did not walk back home, but in the opposite direction.

The location of Yip Chai is in the opposite direction from Chang Xing Houfu.

Seeing this, Qi Yunwen evoked a knowing smile and murmured softly, "Gu Yao Ling, you're not aware that you're showing concern for your little daughter-in-law. To do something like this just out of responsibility"

To verify his suspicions, Qi Yunwen deliberately followed behind, wanting to see if Gu Jingxi was really going to Yipin Zhai to buy snacks.

It turns out that Gu Jingxi really went to Yipin Zhai.

Qi Yunwen thought that since he was already here, he might as well buy a copy to take back for his wife and children.

"Last piece of lotus pastry! Last one left! Once it's sold, we're closing for the day! Open again tomorrow!"

As soon as Qi Yunwen got out of the carriage, he heard the hawker from Yipin Zhai shouting loudly. He learned that it was the last one and didn't bother competing with his friend for it, after all, his friend needed this snack more than him.

But the next moment, Qi Yunwen saw a familiar figure preparing to run as fast as he could to the One-Taste Restaurant across the street to grab the last dessert. He hurriedly quickened his pace, taking three steps in two, reaching out and grabbing the other person's arm.

Song Xining was just about to grab the last piece of dessert when someone pulled her back, stopping her in her tracks. She immediately became angry. She stopped and abruptly turned her head to see who had the audacity to do this. To her surprise, it was her uncle.

She immediately became angry and said angrily, "Uncle, what are you doing Didn't you hear that it was the last one If I can't grab it, I'll be just as upset as you!"

Qi Yunwen said: "What are you grabbing Wouldn't it be better to leave it for those who need it more"

Song Xining glared at him, her tone sour. "Are there really people who need it more than your niece I'm telling you, if I don't get to eat it today, I won't be able to sleep because of craving. Do you know how serious it is to not be able to sleep"

Qi Yunwen replied, "Your Uncle Gu needs it more than you."

Upon hearing this, Song Xining became even angrier. Looking at how he bullied his niece for the sake of his brother, she felt a surge of wanting to report him to her grandmother. She angrily retorted: "He's a grown man, what difference does it make if he misses one meal Aren't men generally not that concerned with food and drink Does it really matter if they can eat or not"

Qi Yunwen chuckled softly, "Silly girl, he bought this for himself to eat Doesn't his family have a young daughter-in-law That's your little sister, he bought it to please her. If you snatch the last piece from him, what will he use to please your sister"

As soon as he finished speaking, the anger in Song Xining's heart vanished instantly. Her eyes lit up and she glanced at Gu Jingxi before stammering to her uncle, "Uncle, did you say this was bought for Yao"

Qi Yunwen nodded and said, "Yes, it's for your younger sister. I told him that the dim sum at Yipin Jai was good, and he came over after his shift."

Song Xining was stunned. Just a few days ago, she had personally seen Lord Gu buy jewelry for Ayo at Jinyu Pavilion. Now, Lord Gu was buying snacks for Ayo again Looking at that tall figure, she smiled with satisfaction: "That's great."

Qi Yunwen raised an eyebrow. "Good what"

Song Xining curved her lips and smiled: "I'm happy that he treats Ah Yao well. Don't even talk about giving him snacks, I'd be happy to pay for him, as long as he continues to treat Ah Yao so well."

At this, Qiwu Wen chuckled softly: “Look at how you put it. Someone who didn't know better might think you were his mother-in-law.”

Song Xining: "..."

Qiu Yunwen continued, “He has never been so attentive to any girl before. He is very dedicated to whatever he does. If he sets his heart on your younger sister, he will definitely treat her well for the rest of his life.”

Song Xinning curiously asked, "So he has recognized Ayao now"

Qi Yunwen shrugged: "I don't know, but it seems like he's paying more and more attention to your younger sister. It's just that the person involved doesn't see it clearly, while outsiders can see it. He just hasn't noticed it himself."

Song Xining pondered for a moment, hesitantly asking, "Uncle, should I tell Ayao about this"

Qi Yunwen replied: "Don't, don't say it. If you say it, it might trouble her. It's better that she knows nothing, slowly falling into it. By the time she discovers it, they will already be deeply in love."

Upon hearing this, Song Xining nodded in agreement. She suddenly found watching others fall in love quite interesting. It was much more entertaining than reading those storybooks. After all, this was real life acting! Plus, both of them were exceptionally good-looking. A thrill went through her heart, and she felt a sense of anticipation.

A moment later, Song Xining saw Gu Jingxi buy snacks and get into a carriage. The direction the carriage was heading was exactly towards Changxing Hou's mansion. It seemed like she was going back home.

She quietly turned her head to look at her uncle, her voice soft as she asked, "Uncle, the snacks are gone. Don't you have to compensate your niece"

“What a debt collector you are! You must have owed me in a past life, that’s why this life I became your uncle.” Qi Yunwen chuckled lightly, tapped her forehead with his finger, and said softly, “Come on, let’s go to the rouge shop. I’ll buy two boxes of rouge for your aunt-mother, and one box for you as well.

Song Xining beamed with joy: "Uncle, you're the best! You must be the absolute best uncle in the world!"

Qi Yunwen said faintly: "Don't flatter me so much, do more practical things."

Song Xining closed her mouth and refused to answer, pretending to be dead and silent.

Qi Yunwen looked at her niece, who was about to get married but still had a childish air about her, and said earnestly, "You're getting married at the end of the year, you have to be more mature. Look at your younger sister, you are both the same age, but she is much more mature than you."

Song Xining rolled her eyes and said, "You're just like my mother, you two are really like siblings. You talk exactly the same."

Qi Yunwen laughed and said, "Fortunately, you married a son of the Shen family. He can tolerate you. If it were someone else, it wouldn't be guaranteed."

-

Changxing Houfu, Weiruixuan.

Meng Jin Yao heard the noise outside and knew that Gu Jing Xi was back.

In a moment, she saw the tall figure enter her line of sight. The man walked with a steady and slow pace, approaching her without haste.

She's been a bit preoccupied these days. Every time she sees Gu Jingxi, she feels strange and out of place, like a stranger to herself.

Seeing her frowning again, lost in thought, Gu Jingxi hurried over two steps, offering the pastries wrapped in oiled paper from his hand. He spoke softly, "Madam, this is a lotus-flavored pastry from Yipin Zhai. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Meng Jin Yao was stunned after hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She awkwardly reached out with her hand to take the snack. The snack wasn't actually heavy, but she felt it weighed heavily in her hand, her mood was quite complicated.

I gave her jewelry a few days ago, and today I bought her some snacks. What does this man mean

Could it be that, as Ning Dong said, this man has feelings for hern't get through to her. He sighed helplessly, this was probably the way a fake mother and a fake filial son interacted - trying every trick in the book to hit each other's soft spots, yet on the surfa...
