During dinner, everyone was silent except for Shen Biru and Qiao Yunge who were chatting and laughing. Gu Huaimin and Gu Liuyi were never talkative people. As for Qiao Nanmu, he only ate very little food and occasionally moved. I picked up a mouthful of food with two chopsticks, but I didn't touch the wine at all.

Gu Chen didn't come. I heard that grandpa's health has been getting worse and worse recently. Gu Chen spends most of his time with grandpa. Gu Liuyi occasionally goes there twice. Only I haven't seen grandpa for a long time. I think I am not very filial. My grandfather has always disliked Shen Biru, but he has always been nice to me. He has never given me a cold face. He is even much gentler to me than to Gu Liuyi and Gu Chen.

After dinner, Shen Biru asked me to take Qiao Nanmu around in private. Her meaning could not have been more obvious. I nodded and pretended not to understand anything.

Shen Biru said to me sternly: "Don't pretend to be stupid like me. I'm telling you, don't think that you are at a disadvantage. Nanmu may not be willing to marry you. You are so young that you don't know how lucky you are."

Even Gu Liuyi said: "You have to build a good relationship with Nanmu. Maybe you will become a couple in the future. You have to get used to it."

I didn't dare to disobey Shen Biru, but I dared to lose my temper with Gu Liuyi, "Do you think I will be happy if I marry Qiao Nanmu? It's not like you can't see it, he clearly doesn't like me!"

Gu Liuyi was helpless: "Didn't I say that you may not be suitable if you like her? Qiao Nanmu is the most suitable person for you."

"Where is it suitable for me?" I grabbed my hair irritably, looking particularly unwilling.

"Because you are willful and show off on the surface but are extremely insecure in your heart. Qiao Nanmu has experienced more things than you and has more experience than you. He can tolerate all your little tempers. He is restrained and does not show his edge. Such a person People can pamper you to the extreme, what else can you be dissatisfied with?" Gu Liuyi educated me with sincerity.

Yes, Qiao Nanmu is very good, what else am I dissatisfied with? I think the only dissatisfaction I have is that we have no feelings for each other.

Just as he was talking, Qiao Yunge came over. She seemed to have heard the conversation between Gu Liuyi and me. She smiled and said, "Gu Qing, you probably don't know yet. My brother Nanmu once eloped for love. A lot of crazy stuff.”

I was startled and looked at Qiao Yunge in surprise.

That handsome man who was quiet and indifferent, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, had he eloped for love?

I guess I don't believe it.

"That was many years ago. Nanmu was eighteen years old at that time, younger than you, right? Nanmu is a genius. He has shown amazing talent since he was very young. There is almost nothing he can't do. Yes, there is nothing he can't do. At that time, Nanmu was just like you now, willful, domineering, arrogant, disdainful of anyone and anything. When he was in high school, he fell in love with a girl. That was really She is an extremely ordinary girl, just like ten people walking on the street and nine of them are the same. But Nanmu loves her so much that he even gives up his entire family and everything he has for that girl. Everything." Qiao Yunge's quiet eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qiao Nanmu's. As she talked about these things, her eyes showed complicated emotions.

"Don't blame your parents and your brother. They are all for your own good. You are still young and in your best years. If you were an ordinary girl, you might be in a vigorous love relationship. But the result is still... It’s not that they grew up covered in bruises. They decided to make a decision between you and Nanmu a long time ago to protect you and prevent you from getting hurt. Maybe you really can’t understand it now, but it doesn’t matter.” She said: “I I believe Nanmu will let you understand one day."

I was surprised and speechless, and then I looked sideways and saw Qiao Nanmu standing there quietly. He was so calm, calm, neither arrogant nor arrogant as he met my gaze, so
