Su Qinglan could also understand what he was trying to express with this look, after all, he had a valid reason inside the phone, but she didn't say it.

For one thing, it's still a very cruel reason for Ozawa to accept again that his daddy is neglecting him for his job.

The other was that she didn't really want to tell this lie with Gu Jinchi.

Even if a very well constructed lie was created for Zee, it would still be better for him to accept the reason that his daddy, was not able to have dinner together because his grandfather was sick.

At least she was still very kind and left a good impression of Gu Jin Chi in Xiao Ze's mind.

"Of course, that's what Mommy taught me. How about it mommy, I didn't use it wrong." Xiao Ze proudly waved the fork in his hand and went to help Gu Jin Chi pull the chair away.

It's heartbreaking to see how much Ozawa cherishes the fact that the family is able to eat dinner together.

The little guy bobbed and weaved to bring all the cutlery to Gu Jinchi, and on the table, he gave Gu Jinchi a piece of all the dishes he had already tasted.

"Daddy, try this yummy one, this one is extra yummy too ..."

Xiao Ze's understanding look was reflected in Su Qing Lan's eyes, so that she couldn't help but be out to help Xiao Ze straighten his hair a bit, "Alright, daddy has hands and feet, so there's no need for you to run around taking care of them. First sit down to eat, or else you will have a tummy ache in a while."

"Uh-huh!" Ze nodded vigorously, the word happy still practically written on his face.

"Qinglan ...," Gu Jinchi looked at her, looking a bit desperate for words.

"Eat first, eat without talking, sleep without talking, you have to set a good example for Ze."

But grabbing him before he could open his mouth to speak, Su Qinglan interrupted his thoughts, comparing to Xiao Ze's excited state as if he was pumped up with chicken blood, she appeared bland and somewhat indifferent.

Such a mood also Gu Jinchi sensed something, and this meal made him eat not too peacefully.

Still sticky after eating, Zee sat with them for a while longer playing family games before rubbing his eyes and showing sleepiness, but he looked a little fond of such a harmonious and congenial time.

Su Qinglan glanced at the clock on the wall, "Xiao Ze, it's already late, you should go to bed."

"But I want to play with daddy and mommy for a little while longer ..." Xiao Ze was a little reluctant but sleepy, yawn after yawn, his eyes red.

After helplessly glancing at her, Gu Jinchi slowed down his voice, "Don't worry, there's still a lot of time like this, in the future, daddy will come back to eat with you all "

"Really? You've used this little trick to fool me quite a few times already, stop treating me like I'm three years old, I'm six now." Ozawa grunted, and although her mouth was reluctant to believe it, her eyes still shone with anticipation.

This distrust had become a deep-seated emotion in Ozawa's mind.

"In the future, I'll do what I say, and you'll be responsible for supervising me, okay?" Gu Jinchi looked at him helplessly and dotingly, reaching out and gently tapping the tip of Xiao Ze's nose.

But even though these words were spoken for Xiao Ze to hear, his eyes remained on Su Qinglan the entire time.

Trying to pretend to be harmonious and cordial in front of Ze wasn't easy, especially since she also knew that Gu Jinchi was merely looking for an excuse, making it even harder to tense up the surface.

"Zee do as you're told and mommy will accompany you to the children's playground tomorrow."

Such an offer was a huge temptation for Ozawa, and it was a little amusing to see his eyes widen in excitement, sleepy and wanting to be refreshed.

"Daddy and Mommy, I still trust Mommy a little more, I'll go to bed in a minute."

Just as he was about to run away, Xiao Ze suddenly lurched his pace and twisted his head to frown at Gu Jinchi.

After what seemed to be some serious contemplation, he spoke in an incredibly serious voice, "Daddy, this is the last time I'm going to give you a reminder, if you lie to Mommy and me again, neither of us will forgive you."

" I don't want Daddy to be a big liar."

With those words, he fled as fast as he could, running back to his little room and slamming the door.

The living room with just the two of them left was suddenly quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Gu Jinchi looked at her with a worried face, "From the time I came back, your face looked bad, are you still angry?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't schedule that meeting time in the afternoon, and I promise that in the future I will never happen again, and I will never let you and Ze down again."

Despite the fact that this was a sincere admission of fault on his part, Su Qinglan was still somewhat unable to control her sneer.

"Actually you don't need to say these words, many things are more important than promises or physical actions."

"I hope you remember what I said about being a person of integrity, so that you have a good model standard example for Ze as well."

If he had grown up living through his own father's deceptions and honeyed lies, the positive influence Gu Jinchi was able to bring to him might not be as good as other men who were not related by blood.

Like Ren Lords, for example.

"I'm not saying this to try and justify it, there are times when I can't help myself ... But thank you for rounding me up today, I may have to rely on you on Ze's side in the future ..."

Before Gu Jinchi could finish his words, she somewhat impatiently, once again interrupted from it.

She raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, who, since I don't know when, had gradually learned to hide everything, and only felt incomparably unfamiliar.

It seems that like the men of the prestigious families, Lor Magic is heading for the worst.

It's true that living in the Gu family business is a big dyestuff. Even Gu Jinchi is hard not to be affected by it.

If she had once had fantasies about Gu Jinchi a few days ago, now she was as good as dead.

"You don't have to say anything, you know better than I do in your heart what you've been up to, and I'm not going to let Ze live a lie all the time. I'll be honest with him if I have to."

She coldly stood up, but she didn't expect Gu Jinchi to suddenly come and hold her hand.

His dark eyes were thick with disbelief, "What are you talking about? I already told you it was because of work."

Su Qinglan sneered and shook off her hand.

"That's why I say you need to be a little more clear in your mind. After all, people can only believe what you say, right?"

"Seeing the way you look now, it's clear that you don't believe it, did someone say something to you?" Gu Jinchi's brows furrowed tightly, and he stood up along with her.

Looking at the man in front of her who needed her to look up to, Su Qinglan lowered her eyes, "Okay, since you need me to pick my words and say them clearly, then let's get right to the point."

She had no words to describe the mood now except disappointment.

"I hope you'll pay attention to the context next time you make up a lie." She sneered.

"I've heard all the voices inside the phone, and based on the location on Ze, the watch was able to see that you were at the villa at that time, correct?"

"You also had Rui and Aunt He's voice next to you, even if I didn't hear what you were saying clearly, but at that time, you lied, it's true, right?"

As she pressed on, she was also able to see Gu Jinchi reveal a somewhat incredulous expression.

"You investigated me." He frowned.

"How do I call this an investigation? It's just a casual glance on my part compared to you having me followed." It's ridiculous.

Even though she hadn't been a hacker for a long time, it was still very easy to find out Gu Jinchi's location.

Out of respect, she had only glanced at Xiao Ze's phone watch, and Gu Jin Chi was able to use words like investigation, which was really chilling.

"Things are not what you think, the afternoon is complicated, I can't talk about it for a while. I can only tell you with the company first." He sighed.

"If you want to know the ins and outs, I can explain it to you right now."

"No need." Su Qinglan coldly waved away his hand.

"You don't need to explain anything to me about our current relationship, it's just that Ze has been hyper all day today. If it wasn't for the fact that she was so emotional today and wanted to have dinner with Daddy, I wouldn't be dwelling on it."

It's been a long time since I've seen her so cold, for such a reaction, Gu Jinchi was a little flustered for a moment, "No, you listen to my explanation, this matter, it's really not what you think."

"It's a long story, but when I was in the hospital that day, something happened as well, and there's no way I can explain it to you... About that woman, since the old man asked for her to stay at the Gu family home, I'll move out."

"I don't have any thoughts about her."

"Then what?" She hugged her arms and looked indifferent, "I said none of these things have anything to do with me, you don't have to rush, Yu explained to me that we're not a couple anymore."

"The one who's really looking forward to your return is Ze, not me."

Her voice was cold, so cold that Gu Jinchi felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

It was as if the feelings that had been cultivated a few days before had gone up in smoke in that instant.

Some words reached his throat, but he didn't have the courage to ask them again.

After fixing his mind, he blocked her way, "No matter what you think, the person I love in my heart right now is always you, and definitely doesn't have any place for that woman."

"But due to a bit of special fellowship on the old man's side, I've had to accommodate in some ways, and I promise it won't happen again, is that okay?"

She didn't want to say the same thing anymore, just said whatever you want and hurried back to her bedroom.

As soon as the door to the room closed, her stirring emotions rippled once more in the complete isolation down from him.

Is she the one he's always loved?

As hypocritical as it sounded, her heart skipped another beat in that moment.

She looked out the window, the tips of her cold fingers only slowly returning to their proper body temperature.

Another somewhat difficult night.
