"Freedom?" The man named Ye Xuan seemed to sneer at the word, "Miss, you have forgotten that Uncle Gu supports the orphans in the orphanage, not to restrict our personal freedom. - We have never been unfree. "
"Really?" Gu Yanran smiled a little tiredly. She didn't have the energy to talk to him any more. She turned her head away, looked out the car window, and said lightly: "I made a mistake, okay? I'm very tired today. I don’t want to quarrel.”
"No one wants to quarrel with you." Ye Xuan leaned over and looked at Gu Yanran's face, which was indeed a little haggard. He pushed Gu Yanran, "You sit over there, I'll drive."
Gu Yanran looked back, caught a glimpse of Ye Xuan's SUV behind the car, and said softly, "What about your car?"
"Put it there. I'll just find someone to drag it away when I get back."
Gu Yanran really didn't have the strength to drive any more. She moved to the passenger seat, nestled in the soft car seat, biting her fingernails, and was in a daze.
Ye Xuan started the car and asked her, "Where to go?"
"Go back to the manor." Gu Yanran said softly, as if she had something on her mind that she couldn't express.
Ye Xuan was quiet for a while, drove the car onto the highway, and opened the window. The cool evening breeze brought in the moisture of the sea, which refreshed his spirit.
Gu Yanran simply closed her eyes to rest her mind and said, "I'll sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up when the time comes."
"Yeah." Ye Xuan agreed dully and drove all the way back to the Gu family's manor in the suburbs.
The road was very smooth, with almost no traffic, and it took less than fifteen minutes to reach the gate of the manor.
Ye Xuan got out of the car first, opened the door, stood aside and said like a doorman: "Miss, we're here."
Gu Yanran's eyes moved, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
She was confused for a moment, until she saw the towering iron gate in front of her, the bright street lamp in front of the door, and the tall figure under the street lamp. She was in a trance and murmured: "...Why aren't you him?"
"Miss?" Ye Xuan frowned, bent down to the car and held her arm, "Wake up? We're here."
Gu Yanran woke up and followed Ye Xuan's hand to get out of the car. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Thank you. I'm going back. What about you? Do you want to stay here for one night?"
Ye Xuan's car was abandoned on the shoulder of the highway. Now in the middle of the night, no one can be found to tow it.
"Do you want me to stay here for one night?" Ye Xuan put his hand on the big iron door, blocking Gu Yanran's way in.
Gu Yanran unexpectedly raised her head and glanced at Ye Xuan. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and sunken eye sockets. He had the appearance of a standard mixed-race person, and he was a particularly handsome kind of mixed-race person.
"Ye Xuan..."
"Do you miss me?" Ye Xuan stubbornly refused to let go, took a step forward, lowered his head, and asked Gu Yanran's lips.
Gu Yanran wanted to say "I don't want to", but she was not allowed to refuse. Ye Xuan had already bit her, held her lips in his mouth, and blocked her mouth, not allowing her to refuse.
Gu Yanran screamed twice before being carried by Ye Xuan and walked to the big iron gate.
The two of them were entangled all the way, taking off their clothes all along the way. By the time they reached the living room of the big house, the two of them had already entered the situation impatiently.
…
Gu Yanran was in a bad mood, and Ye Xuan's arrival was like an antidote, allowing her to temporarily forget all the recent troubles and just enjoy the love between a man and a woman with him.
After finishing, she went to the bathroom to take a shower wearing only a bath towel. Looking at the mess all over her body in the bathroom mirror, she shook her head and walked straight to the shower room to rinse off.
After washing, she came out of the bathroom and saw that Ye Xuan had also finished washing, put on his pajamas, and sat on her bed to read a magazine.
It was a fashion magazine. Gu Yanran threw it casually on the bedside table and used it to kill time before going to bed at night.
Ye Xuan was not interested in what these women were looking at at all, but it seemed quite embarrassing not to have something in his hands at this time.
Gu Yanran sat in front of the dressing table and used a hair dryer to dry her hair.
Ye Xuan put down the magazine, put his head back with his hands, and watched her dressing up intently.
After Gu Yanran put on the night cream, she walked to the bed wrapped in pajamas and said to Ye Xuan, "Xuan, tonight is the last night, let's break up."
"Break up?" Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneered again, "Have we ever been together?"
Gu Yanran said nothing, looking at him condescendingly, the corners of her lips gradually pursed.
"... It's useless for you to look at me like this." Ye Xuan sat up from his bed, "I will not leave you. From the day you saved me, I swore that my life is yours, and I will only recognize you in this life. one person."
"Xuan, we were still young at that time." Gu Yanran said in a daze, sitting on the bed, holding Ye Xuan's hand and putting it against her cheek, "You and I have had a good time, so we can get together. Let's go. I will get married in the future and have my own family and husband. He will not be happy that I have you as my 'boyfriend'..."
"I don't care if he is happy or not." Ye Xuan looked at Gu Yanran infatuatedly, "I went to boarding school in the United States. During those ten years, my happiest time every week was reading the emails you wrote to me. Over the years, One letter a week, never stopping, until something happened to Uncle Gu... I had identified you a long time ago, although you were still young at that time, but you didn't know... "
Gu Yanran covered his mouth with her hands, "No need to say anymore, it's over. We have grown up."
"You were still young at that time, and you saved me. As a result, I became seriously ill, but I was sent to boarding school in the United States by Uncle Gu. I stayed there for ten years. I didn't expect that when I came back, Uncle Gu had already become a vegetative state." Ye Xuan pounded the bed with his other hand, "I saw on the news that day you were held hostage by gunmen. Yanran, look, you can't live without me. You just let me go, and this happened. How can I rest assured?"
Gu Yanran looked at Ye Xuan and was not unmoved.
Ever since Gu Xiangwen's accident, she has been supporting the entire Gu family by herself.
Gu's family was small to begin with, and the huge fortune fell on her alone. She felt like a naughty child swaggering through the downtown area with a huge amount of wealth. No wonder it attracted so many covetous people that she could hardly bear it anymore.
Ye Xuan interrupted his studies and rushed back to Barbados after Gu Xiangwen's accident, where he helped her and was loyal to her.
But although Ye Xuan was very kind to her, and she didn't have feelings for him, Ye Xuan was alone and had no ability to protect her and the Gu family.
She needs another supporter.
"Ye Xuan, we are really not suitable for each other." Gu Yanran sighed, holding her head with her hands, her long curly hair hanging down, blocking half of her face, "I don't want my future husband to be unhappy, you... you'd better leave. ."
Ye Xuan's hands trembled. He half-knelt down in front of Gu Yanran, held her hand, and begged: "Yanran, you really don't give me a chance? If I can help you, I will definitely help you!"
"You can't help me." Gu Yanran's voice was very calm, "I don't want to ruin your life. Ye Xuan, you should have your own life, find a girl, fall in love, get married, and then have your own home. Give birth to a few children of your own, and you will quickly forget everything now, and you may even wish that none of this had ever happened."
"Yanran!"
"Ye Xuan, we are really not suitable for each other." Gu Yanran has completely calmed down, and there is no emotion in her voice. "You go away, and don't come back again. If you come back, don't blame me for falling out."
"You really want to drive me away?!" Ye Xuan looked very hurt. He slowly stood up and looked down at the silent Gu Yanran, expecting her reaction.
Gu Yanran remained calm and just nodded, "I'm not driving you away, I'm letting you live your own life."
Gu Yanran said so decisively that Ye Xuan no longer had any reason to stay.
He changed his clothes with a sullen expression and quickly rushed out of the room. Before leaving, he did not forget to slam the door for her.
Gu Yanran looked in the direction of the door, smiled bitterly, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Huo Shaoheng's number: "Mr. Huo?"
Seeing that Gu Yanran finally called, Huo Shaoheng put on the Bluetooth headset in a leisurely manner. He waited for the phone to ring several times before saying, "Miss Gu, are you okay?"
Gu Yanran was suffocated and secretly thought that Huo Shaoheng was really good at pretending. She obviously wanted to see her father Gu Xiangwen very much, but he acted like an old god was there.
Forget it, she would definitely not be able to compete with Huo Shaoheng in terms of patience.
Gu Yanran raised a smile and said, "Yes, did Mr. Huo forget? Didn't you promise to send my father to your country to recuperate?"
"Oh, I remember this, but Miss Gu doesn't seem to be in a hurry, so we are even less anxious. Barbados has beautiful scenery, so we will treat it as a public trip."
Huo Shaoheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and held a cigar in the other. He stood in the smoking room of the hotel, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window in trance.
Just now, Mr. Mike had given him a letter of approval, saying that Gu Nianzhi's status was completely legal and that her status as a Barbados citizen would be restored soon.
Barbados is a Commonwealth country, so Gu Nianzhi automatically has the status of a Commonwealth citizen.
However, in this case, her Chinese citizenship will become invalid.
But Huo Shaoheng is not worried. After returning to China, he will help Gu Nianzhi apply for citizenship of the Chinese Empire, that is, immigrants and naturalized citizens of the Chinese Empire.
Before all the citizenship procedures were completed, Huo Shaoheng still had to hide this matter from Gu Yanran.
He wanted to see what medicine Gu Yanran was selling in the gourd.
Gu Yanran was indeed a little unsure after what Huo Shaoheng said. She finally said, "Mr. Huo, don't be angry. I didn't mean to delay. As you know, there are still gunmen on the loose. I don't dare to expose my father's whereabouts too quickly."
Huo Shaoheng snorted in his heart, his voice extremely low: "I won't talk about the past, but let us see your father as soon as possible, and then we will discuss how to bring your father on the plane."
Gu Yanran nodded, "It's already very late now. If Mr. Huo is free, you can come to Mandala Manor in the suburbs at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. This is also our Gu family's property and can be found on the map."
