"We are husband and wife, what is there to fear?"

Liuli laughed, and Gu Die laughed too, followed by his domineering kiss.

"Liuli, get up quickly! It's time to eat!"

It was Zihan's voice outside the door again.

Liuli turned her head to look, only to be kissed by Gu Die again.

Gu Die was now completely speechless regarding Zihan.

"Liuli, you big sleepyhead!"

Zihan was still shouting.

Liuli had no choice but to push him away.

"Be good, don't be angry." Seeing that he still looked somewhat unhappy, Liuli coaxed him.

"Anyway, you'll be mine sooner or later."

Gu Die kissed her once more before letting her go.

"Mm." She smiled sweetly.

"Zihan, wait for me a moment, I'm going to wash my face."

Liuli opened the door and said to Zihan.

"You big sleepyhead, hurry up and go!"

"Alright."

Liuli went to the bathroom, and Gu Die came over.

"Do you believe I'll make you move out?"

"What? Did I ruin your good time again?"

Zihan laughed; this was the effect she wanted. Who told him to always ignore her!

"Lao Zihan."

"I was wrong!"

As soon as Gu Die called her name, she hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"You can move out now."

"Wasn't it you who made me return to the country? Now you're making me move out again, where am I supposed to go?"

Zihan said pitifully.

"I asked you for help, but you didn't help, and instead, you came to make things worse."

"No, no, no, I won't make things worse again! I swear!"

"I'll find you a place to stay, you move out."

"Cousin, can't I just be wrong?"

Zihan had indeed unintentionally delayed them last night, but this morning she had come to knock on the door on purpose.

Gu Die ignored her, and she just wanted to annoy him.

"No."

Gu Die refused coldly.

"Really no?"

Zihan asked.

Gu Die was becoming impatient.

"Liuli! Someone is bullying me!"

Zihan sat on the floor and shouted; Gu Die went straight over and covered her mouth, fearing Liuli would hear.

But Liuli heard it anyway.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Zihan shout, Liuli hurried out.

She saw Zihan sitting on the floor with Gu Die covering her mouth.

"Let go."

With her mouth covered, Zihan could only make muffled, unclear sounds.

Liuli looked at Gu Die, and Gu Die hurriedly took his hand away.

"Liuli! You saw how he bullied me, you have to stand up for me!"

"Shut up."

Gu Die simply wanted to tape Zihan's mouth shut.

"You shut up," Liuli said to Gu Die.

"Tell me, what are you two fighting about?" Gu Die shut his mouth, and Liuli asked Zihan.

"He's making me move out! I don't know anyone here, where am I supposed to go?"

Zihan cried out.

"She's a girl, where are you making her move to? Are you still her cousin?"

Liuli lectured Gu Die.

"But she always ruins things."

Gu Die looked at Liuli, a wicked smile appearing on the corner of his mouth again.

"Alright, she didn't do it on purpose."

Liuli explained, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"I did do it on purpose."

Zihan said, making a mischievous face at Liuli; wasn't this putting Liuli in a difficult position?

"But, he's the one who always ignores me, so I just..."

Zihan explained, seeing Liuli's speechless expression.

"Gu Die, you should change this temper of yours, you're so cold every day."

Liuli also wanted to lecture him, and she had just found the opportunity.

"But I only want to smile at you."

Gu Die replied. The more Liuli looked at Gu Die, the more she felt he was like a child; was he still the same person she had known before?

Zihan felt like vomiting after hearing this; this person really didn't care if there were people around when he spoke sweet nothings!

"Anyway, don't make Zihan leave, okay?"

Liuli brought the conversation back to the main point.

"Since you've said so, then let her stay for a while longer."

Gu Die said to Liuli dotingly.

Zihan really couldn't stand it anymore.

"But, if you get in the way again, I will still make you leave."

Gu Die said coldly to Zihan. A moment ago he had a doting expression for Liuli, and now he was an ice block for her? This guy could actually change faces?!

"Understood!"

Zihan hurriedly agreed.

"Alright, let's go down and eat!"

"Okay."

Zihan held Liuli's hand and went downstairs, while Gu Die followed behind them, clearly unhappy.

"I'll go to the company to help you today."

Liuli's eating speed was as fast as usual.

"Good, just stay with me."

"I'm going too!"

Gu Die gave Zihan a cold look.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have to go." Zihan said, looking at Liuli; Liuli always felt like she had some bad business to trouble her with again.

"But Liuli, you have to ask Cheng Li out to keep me company."

Liuli knew there was no good news.

"Ask him out yourself, I'll give you his number."

"That won't work! He won't see me if I ask him!"

Zihan immediately rejected this method.

"So you mean you want me to trick him into coming out?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Just say you have something to find him for, he'll definitely come if you ask!"

"No."

"Liuli, just this once, okay?"

Zihan hugged her arm and acted like a spoiled child.

"I don't want to lie to him."

"Just this once."

"Alright, just this once."

Liuli couldn't bear Zihan's pitiful eyes, so she agreed.

"Where do you want to go with him?"

Liuli asked.

"I want to go out and play, Cousin, do you know any fun places?"

"I don't know."

"Asking you is the same as not asking!"

Zihan had to think about where to go herself.

"Let's go to Blue Sky Amusement Park, it's quite famous in Luohai City, I've always wanted to see it."

"Are you sure?"

"Mm."

"Then I'll have him go to the amusement park to wait for you."

"Okay, thank you Liuli, I knew you were the best to me!"

Zihan hugged Liuli's arm again and said.

She felt Gu Die's burning gaze and hurriedly let go.

"This guy, his jealousy is too strong, can't even touch her?"

Zihan thought to herself, but didn't dare say it out loud.

"I'm done eating, let's go."

Gu Die stood up and said.

"Okay."

Liuli replied, and Gu Die extended his arm for her to hold.

She lowered her head and smiled, then took his arm.

Zihan saw this and grabbed Liuli's other arm.

She didn't feel like she was a third wheel, and a particularly bright one at that.

"Cousin, give me a ride."

Zihan also got into the car.

"How about we drop her off first?"

Gu Die didn't answer Zihan, so Liuli asked.

Zihan gave Liuli a big, bright smile.

"Okay."

He really was, as long as Liuli spoke, he wouldn't refuse.

Zihan was speechless about him; he hadn't been this cold to her before, but now that he had Liuli, he didn't care about her? She was his cousin, after all?!

She was asking Cheng Li out to help him, wasn't she? But a very large half of it was just her wanting to see Cheng Li herself.

"Liuli, goodbye! Don't forget to ask Cheng Li out!"

When they arrived at Blue Sky Amusement Park, Zihan got out of the car.

Liuli had never been to an amusement park either; Cheng Li had wanted to take her before, but she refused, thinking the tickets were expensive and the money would be gone after playing.

She didn't want to play if she didn't see it, but now that she saw it, she actually wanted to go.

She really envied rich people, doing whatever they wanted.

Gu Die saw her staring at the amusement park and realized she wanted to go.

But there were things to do at the company, he couldn't accompany her, and could only take her another day.

"Gu Die, where does your dad live?"

"He has his own home."

"Being with you is home!"

"His home doesn't have me."

"It does, he actually cares about you a lot."

"How long have you known each other, and you can tell he cares about me? I've been with him for so many years, and I've never seen him care about me."

"Gu Die..."

Whenever she thought of Gu Qing's health, combined with Gu Die's misunderstanding of Gu Qing, she felt a tightness in her chest.

"Don't say anymore."

Clearly, he didn't like this topic.

"I want to go to where he lives to see him, after all, he is your dad, and I married you, so I should go see him."

"What did he say to you yesterday?"

Gu Die stopped the car directly.

He was also quite puzzled; before, Gu Qing told her to change how she addressed him as 'Dad' and she wouldn't, but last night she had changed it.

"He said he wanted us to live our lives well."

"He said that?"

Gu Die could see that Gu Qing liked Liuli, which was why he dared to be intimate with her, but him saying such things was beyond his expectations.

"I know you said before that you couldn't love me because you were afraid of what he might do to me, he explained it all to me."

Liuli looked at him gently.

"Also, Siyun's matter was just an accident, he didn't want it to be like that..."

Gu Die could never bear to hear the name Siyun; it was a hurdle he couldn't overcome.

"Enough."

He said coldly.

"This isn't your fault, don't be like this."

Liuli hugged him.

He pushed her away.

Could even she not mention Siyun? She had overestimated her position in his heart.

Siyun was indeed someone he could never forget in his life, from the moment he customized the Liuli Bracelet for her.

Liuli's heart felt like it had been stabbed hard by something.

When she heard Gu Qing tell her, she thought Gu Die was just blaming himself.

But seeing his extreme reaction, she felt that in his heart, there wasn't just self-blame, but also another kind of feeling for Siyun.

This feeling was also what she, Chu Liuli, wanted.

So he hadn't truly given his heart to her yet.

There had always been someone in his heart that she couldn't replace.

Gu Die continued driving, and the atmosphere in the car returned to how it was when Liuli used to ride in his car.

No one spoke, as if she and he were strangers.

Siyun had always been his inner demon, he couldn't let go no matter what; if it weren't for him, how could Siyun have had an accident?

Liuli said Gu Qing didn't want it to be like that, but he wouldn't believe it; in his eyes, Gu Qing was capable of doing anything.

And now he was telling him it was an accident?

Although he was young at the time, he wanted to protect Siyun; he didn't understand what love was, but he wanted to give Siyun the best of everything.

Only after he grew up did he understand that his feelings for Siyun were more than just friendship.

He had been looking for her, but there was no trace of her anywhere.

He had met many people and experienced many things, but no one had made him truly want to start a new relationship.

Except for Liuli.
