Chapter 1690

Gu Hanyuan answered very calmly.

Long Xiaoyun clearly hadn't expected Gu Hanyuan's response to be so flat.

It was so flat that it even made her feel a bit sad.

Long Xiaoyun asked with a disappointed expression:

"Then, Master, you still... didn't you consider Xiaoyun's feelings?"

Perhaps this was what she truly cared about.

At this moment, she said it subconsciously.

Gu Hanyuan chuckled lightly, implying something:

"Does Xiaoyun think your father, Long Xiaoyun, is a good husband and a good father?"

"This..."

Long Xiaoyun hesitated.

A good father was certainly out of the question.

After all, because she wasn't a boy, Long Xiaoyun hadn't spared her from his disdain in his words.

Causing her to bear a lot of pressure and forcing her to pretend to be a boy.

A good husband also had to have a question mark.

Not to mention anything else.

For the past few days, Long Xiaoyun hadn't returned to the inner courtyard to see Lin Shiyin.

Long Xiaoyun hadn't understood before, but now she did.

Long Xiaoyun had perhaps long anticipated what might happen between Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin.

It was just that he chose to indulge it.

It could be understood that Long Xiaoyun feared Gu Hanyuan's power.

It could also be understood that he had other motives.

But in any case, Long Xiaoyun couldn't be called a good husband.

Long Xiaoyun suddenly felt that she was a bit ridiculous.

Perhaps from beginning to end, she was the only one who cared about this precarious family.

Seeing that Long Xiaoyun showed signs of getting stuck in a rut.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered, and he said gently:

"You have also seen your mother's usual resentful and sorrowful appearance; think back again, hasn't your mother's mental state been much better during this period?"

Long Xiaoyun was startled upon hearing this.

After a brief recollection, it was indeed so.

In reality, Lin Shiyin had merely had her attention diverted by Gu Hanyuan.

She had no time to consider those things that used to make her sad.

Resentment and sorrow had turned into conflict and shame.

It was just because mother and daughter hadn't had any time alone.

Lin Shiyin had subconsciously hidden her emotions.

"It is indeed so, but..."

Long Xiaoyun's hesitant words were interrupted by Gu Hanyuan before she could finish.

"Excessive sorrow will shorten one's life; Xiaoyun wouldn't want your mother to pass away early, would you?"

Long Xiaoyun clearly hadn't reacted in time.

But if it truly concerned Lin Shiyin's life, she certainly wouldn't want that.

Long Xiaoyun, who had been somewhat bamboozled, asked hesitantly:

"Is there really no other way?"

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"There is, Li Xunhuan."

"Impossible! Li Xunhuan is absolutely out of the question!"

A look of anger appeared on Long Xiaoyun's face.

If it were Gu Hanyuan, she could barely persuade herself to accept it.

If it were replaced by Li Xunhuan, she would probably go crazy.

She even couldn't help but develop murderous intent toward Li Xunhuan.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction.

He said with a faint tone:

"So Xiaoyun, look at it from another angle; am I not saving your mother?"

Long Xiaoyun was startled upon hearing this.

Gu Hanyuan's way of swapping concepts left her not knowing how to refute it for a moment.

She just subconsciously felt that something didn't seem quite right.

She shook her head, casting aside the questions she couldn't understand, and suddenly asked:

"Wasn't it Mother who seduced the Master?"

Perhaps this was what was more worth her attention.

Gu Hanyuan laughed at himself:

"Silly girl, is your mother that kind of person? It's because I like your mother."

Long Xiaoyun bit her thin lips tightly and said unwillingly:

"Why must it be Mother? Can't it be Xiaoyun?"

Gu Hanyuan sighed long and said solemnly and earnestly:

"I also like Xiaoyun, but Xiaoyun is still too young."

Actually, if it weren't for that, he would have already arranged for the mother and daughter to be together.

Now, in order to avoid deviations, Gu Hanyuan even had to change his plan.

Long Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, and her previous guess was confirmed.

"Master chose Mother indeed because I am too young."

Thinking this, Long Xiaoyun said with lingering affection:

"Xiaoyun also likes Master, so Master, will you wait until Xiaoyun grows up, okay?"

At this moment, Long Xiaoyun truly had the appearance of having grown up.

Her little face also had the coquettishness that only an adult woman would have.

Gu Hanyuan stroked her little face and said gently:

"Okay. I will wait for the day Xiaoyun grows up."

A flash of playfulness and charm suddenly passed through Long Xiaoyun's beautiful eyes.

She left Gu Hanyuan's arms and said with extreme charm, kneeling down:

"Although Xiaoyun is still young, I can also do for Master the kind of things Mother does."
