Liu Feng raised her eyebrows, not understanding what Gu Duo was saying.

“What do you mean?”

Liu Feng had not opened the present from last night, so she naturally did not understand what he meant.

Gu Duo pursed his lips, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were reserved and deep.

“Nothing.”

Gu Duo was reckless. He did not consider Liu Feng’s situation in the Jiang family. If he pushed her into the spotlight rashly, she would probably face a lot of pressure.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His half-closed eyelids lifted slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Speaking of which, I haven’t congratulated you in person since you found your family.”

Liu Feng could not help but laugh when she heard that. There was no joy in her eyes from finding her family. “There’s nothing to congratulate.”

“No, I’ve prepared a new gift for you.”

Gu Duo was talking about her, but Liu Feng could not tell the deep meaning in his tone. She looked at him curiously.

Gu Duo stepped forward slightly and bent down to hold Liu Feng’s slender and soft hands. He lowered his head with a devout look and planted a sincere kiss on the back of her hand.

“Welcome back, Elder Miss.”

“Do you like this gift?”

Liu Feng’s heart skipped a beat and she pulled her hand back like an electric shock. Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Where did you learn these tricks?”

Gu Duo chuckled softly. His handsome features formed a charming crescent moon. “Because of you, I learned them without a teacher.”

Gu Duo appeared in the ward earlier than usual today by more than an hour.

Not long after he woke up, Old Master Gu, who was pretending to read the newspaper, said with a straight face, “Busy man, you still have the time to visit an old man like me?”

Gu Duo was in a good mood. He leaned on the back of his chair in a relaxed manner. His elegant and handsome demeanor as a Young Master of an aristocratic family was clearly seen. It was rare for him to respond to Old Master Gu’s bickering, “I was delayed by something.”

Old Master Gu sneered, and his tone was full of sarcasm. “What could be more important than your biological father?!”

He angrily slammed the newspaper on the hospital bed and glared at the unfilial son in front of him.

“If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. Otherwise, you’ll cause trouble for me!”

Seeing the Old Master’s unreasonable temper, Gu Duo was not angry. Even the curve of his lips did not change. “Don’t be angry. I’m looking for a daughter-in-law for you!”

At the mention of this, Old Man Gu was even more furious. His pale face was red with anger. “I’m telling you, don’t even think about it! You’re cutting off all contact with that Jiang family’s eldest daughter right now! I absolutely won’t allow you to marry her!”

“I refuse.”

Those two cold words interrupted Old Master Gu’s overbearing order. Gu Duo face, which was somewhat similar to Old Master Gu’s, but colder, also refused to budge an inch. “I will definitely marry her.”

“You!”

Old Master Gu was so angry that he was trembling. He gritted his teeth fiercely. “If you dare, I will immediately chase that country girl back to C City!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Gu Duo stood up indifferently and looked at Old Master Gu with his deep and reserved eyes. His tone did not allow anyone to argue with him.

“Anyway, wherever she is, that’s where I’ll be at.”

When Liu Feng was almost outside the house, the heat on her face slowly faded away.

She secretly cursed Gu Duo for being like a vixen. She did not know where he gained those skills, but his seduction skills were getting better and better.

Liu Feng tried her best to put that devilish handsome face to the back of her mind. The moment she entered the door, she saw Jiang He and Qin Xi sitting on the sofa with Jiang Yue beside them. The three of them were obviously waiting for her.

“Sister, you are finally willing to come back.”

Jiang Yue looked at Liu Feng’s innocent face and secretly clenched her teeth. She had actually made a mistake and was deceived by this country bumpkin!

Liu Feng secretly raised her eyebrows. What was going on?

“Lil Feng, where did you go today?”

Qin Xi looked at Liu Feng gently and her tone seemed to be full of worry. “Whenever you go out, you’ll often leave early and return late. You even went out without any news. This is not like the countryside. If anything happened to you, we would be worried to death!”

Was Qin Xi not just mocking Liu Feng for being disobedient all day?

Jiang He’s expression became more and more unsightly. His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and anger as he looked at Liu Feng. “Tell me honestly, why did you go to the hospital?”

Ignoring their questioning attitude, Liu Feng’s expression was natural. She directly poured herself a glass of water. “Naturally, I went to the hospital to treat others.”

Liu Feng was a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. She did not even have a university degree. Who would dare to let a ‘doctor’ like her treat patients?

The three members of the Jiang family did not believe Liu Feng at all. Jiang Yue was even more furious. Her eyes were red as she looked at Liu Feng.

“Sister, don’t hide it. I saw you go to see Grandpa Gu.”

“If you like Third Young Master Gu, you can say it directly. I can give you the engagement.”

“However, you said on the surface that you have a boyfriend, but in the dark, you’re in contact with the Gu family. If you create a bad impression on Third Young Master Gu, then the entire Jiang family will be implicated!”

Every word Jiang Yue said was reasonable, causing Jiang He’s expression to become worse. Liu Feng only felt amused and coldly glanced at Jiang Yue.

“Keep away your worries. I don’t care about the Gu family at all.”

“It’s true that I have a boyfriend. You can choose whether to believe it or not.”

“I still have an appointment with him for dinner tomorrow, so I’ll go upstairs to rest first. You guys take care of yourselves.”

Liu Feng went upstairs on her own. Her calm and indifferent attitude made everyone confused.. They did not know whether they should believe her story or not.
