My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4075

When Gu Molan heard the question that Young Master Liu had asked her, she felt a sense of relief. So that's what her brother-in-law was asking her!

Just as she was relaxing, she saw Young Master Liu suddenly turn his head and look at her.

She was startled when her brother-in-law suddenly turned around and looked at her.

"Oh!"

After letting out a soft cry, Gu Molanya immediately rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with a look of annoyance.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? You scared me half to death."

When Liu Mingzhi saw Gu Molanya, he was startled at first, and then immediately rolled his eyes at him with an annoyed expression. A faint look of doubt flashed quickly in the depths of his eyes.

He had seen Gu Molanya's behavior and reaction clearly.

However, judging from his sister-in-law's reaction just now, he was really unsure whether her behavior and reaction were a genuine instinct or a deliberate act.

Liu Mingzhi suppressed his doubts and smiled as he raised his pipe to Gu Molanya.

"Oh, Lanya, I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry."

As I was talking to you, a wisp of smoke was blown into my eye by the night wind, so I instinctively turned my head away.

As your brother, I didn't expect that my sudden turn of the head would startle you, Lanya.

"Lanya, little sister, I'm so sorry, so sorry, I'm really sorry."

After hearing her brother-in-law's explanation, Gu Molanya couldn't help but purse her lips.

Brother-in-law, do you think I'm blind? Didn't you see which direction the smoke you just exhaled drifted?

Judging from where we're standing right now, the night breeze tonight is clearly blowing from behind you, isn't it?

The night wind is blowing from behind you, so how could the smoke you exhale possibly get into your eyes?

Although Gu Molanya knew perfectly well that Young Master Liu was lying to her, she still nodded gently with a bright smile.

Oh! I see!

Brother-in-law, did the smoke you exhaled get into your eyes? Should I take a look?

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his left hand, waving gently at Gu Molanya.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"No need, no need. I turned my head in time and wasn't bothered by the smell."

Gu Molan nodded gently with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and replied in a soft voice with her lips slightly parted: "Mmm, very good, very good indeed."

Since your eyes weren't hurt by the smell, brother-in-law, I can rest assured.

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, then took a small puff of his pipe.

"Lanya, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue with our previous topic."

"Brother, let me ask you one more time. Don't you think those movements I just had you do look familiar?"

When Gu Molanya saw her brother-in-law bring up the same question again, she smiled slightly and nodded a few times to Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Mmm, yes, it's familiar! Of course I'm familiar with it!"

Brother-in-law, the few actions you made me do are clearly the same few actions I did when I was watching you from behind.

From the time I was little until now, it hasn't even taken the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

In such a short time, how could I not be familiar with the movements I just performed!

Upon hearing Gu Molan's reply, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

"Lan Ya, it's good that you're familiar with it, it's good that you're familiar with it!"

"Lanya, little sister, since you're familiar with these movements, don't you have anything you'd like to say to your brother?"

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Gu Molanya answered him decisively with a single word without even thinking.

"Have!"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's words, Young Master Liu couldn't help but feel excited.

That's great, that's great, that's really great.

After talking about this over and over again for so long, let's finally get back to the main topic.

Liu Mingzhi forcibly suppressed his excitement and feigned surprise by raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? Lanya, is there something you want to tell me?"

Gu Molan blinked her beautiful, watery eyes a few times, her stunning face full of anticipation as she looked at Young Master Liu and said sweetly, "Brother-in-law, I want to ask you, we've been chatting for so long, when are you going to perform a magic trick for me?"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's question, Liu Mingzhi's expression faltered slightly.

His slightly stunned expression revealed that he hadn't expected Gu Molanya to say such a thing.

Seeing her brother-in-law suddenly become somewhat stunned, Gu Molanya suppressed a laugh and lightly bit her pearly white teeth.

Immediately afterwards, she slightly raised her fair and slender neck with her delicate brows furrowed, and looked directly up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Brother-in-law, judging from the current moonlight, it will be midnight in about half an hour."

According to my usual routine, I would have already been fast asleep by now, dreaming of playing chess with the Duke of Zhou.

The reason I've been chatting with you, brother-in-law, until now is because I want to see what kind of magic trick you'll perform for me.

But I've been waiting for so long, brother-in-law, and you still haven't performed your magic trick for me.

As Gu Molanya spoke softly, she abruptly turned her gaze away from the bright moon in the night sky and met Young Master Liu's eyes with suspicion in her beautiful, watery eyes.

"Brother-in-law, if I may be so bold as to ask, do you actually know how to perform magic tricks?"

If you don't know any magic tricks at all, just tell me directly, and I won't say anything.

Brother-in-law, look me in the eye and tell me honestly, do you actually know magic tricks?

After hearing Gu Molan's eloquent speech, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

When he heard Gu Mo Lan Ya's last question, his already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply. "Lan Ya."

When Gu Molan saw her brother-in-law's brows suddenly furrow, her heart tightened slightly.

However, she still tried to remain calm and replied in a sweet voice, "Hey, brother-in-law, what are you saying? I'm listening!"

After taking a deep drag of his pipe and exhaling a large puff of smoke, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and took a small step forward.

Immediately, he slowly lowered his head, calmly looking down at Gu Mo Lan Ya in front of him, and said in a flat tone, "Lan Ya, I ask you, besides what you just said, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

As Gu Molan heard Young Master Liu's calm question and looked at his seemingly calm but actually oppressive gaze, her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

There was nothing he could do; his brother-in-law's gaze was simply too oppressive.

Under that seemingly calm but actually oppressive gaze, she simply couldn't maintain her composure.

"Gudu!"

"Gudu!"

Gu Molan swallowed twice involuntarily, and shook her head slightly, enduring the pressure from her brother-in-law's gaze.

"Brother-in-law, that's all. Apart from what I just said, I have nothing else to say to you."

"Lan Ya, are you sure?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, I'm absolutely sure."

Upon hearing Gu Molan's firm reply, Liu Mingzhi gave her a deep, penetrating look before suddenly chuckling softly.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

Seeing this, Gu Molanya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know why her brother-in-law was laughing, as long as he stopped asking her questions, it was a good thing for her.

After Liu Mingzhi stopped laughing, he held his pipe and gently exhaled a small puff of smoke.

He had already made himself clear enough; he didn't believe that Lan Ya, with her intelligence, wouldn't understand the meaning behind his words.

At this moment, how could he not see that his sister-in-law was clearly being unreasonable with him?

The more Gu Mo Lan Ya acted this way, the more curious Young Master Liu became.

Now, he was very curious about what kind of reason would make Lan Ya prefer to play this trick on him rather than tell him the truth.

Could it be that there's some unspeakable reason behind this matter that Lan Ya finds difficult to talk about?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case!
In the past few days, I have only spent four time alone with Lan Ya.

Of these four times spent alone, the longest one was the one two days ago.

Moreover, this time they spent together had only lasted for about half an hour.

I clearly remember that the reason I was alone with Lan Ya two days ago was because Lan Ya was carrying a chess manual and was going to ask Qi Yun for some chess advice. She happened to run into me as I was coming out of the study on her way to find Yun'er.

At that time, I had just finished working on a small stack of documents in my study and had nothing else to do.

So he casually asked Lan Ya if she wanted to come with him to the pavilion for some tea and a chat.

To my surprise, Lan Ya accepted the invitation without hesitation after I casually mentioned it.

Then, the two of them hurried to the pavilion together.

Then, while I was having tea and chatting with Lan Ya, I took the opportunity to give her some pointers on her chess skills.

After he had given Lan Ya some pointers on her chess skills and chatted casually about everyday matters, Lan Ya got up with a smile and took her leave.

He had interacted with Lan Ya exactly the same way he had done in the past, just like he had done two days ago. There was absolutely no difference.

Furthermore, nothing particularly ambiguous happened between him and Lan Ya.

This applies not only to this longer period of time spent together, but also to the other three shorter periods of time spent together.

So, it seems there's nothing that's hard to talk about, right?
As Liu Mingzhi pondered this with a puzzled mind, the scene of Lan Ya seeing him naked involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that Lan Ya felt embarrassed and shy because of what happened before, which is why she was so evasive when answering my question?
The moment the thought popped into his mind, Young Master Liu quickly rejected it.

wrong! wrong!
Lanya's behavior of secretly glancing at him from time to time happened during the day, and before his family returned from their stroll outside the palace.

Lanya accidentally witnessed herself showering in the courtyard after her family returned home.

This proves that the reason why Lan Ya would rather act like a rogue than tell me the truth has nothing to do with her accidentally seeing me taking a shower.

Hey! That's really strange.

What could possibly be the reason that Lanya would act in this way?

After much deliberation, Liu Mingzhi still couldn't figure out the reason.

At that moment, he felt a mixture of curiosity, confusion, and bewilderment.

In fact, Young Master Liu's initial idea was indeed correct.

The truth that Gu Molanya would rather play the rogue with him than tell him was indeed difficult for her to utter.

No, no, no, it's not fair to say that absolutely.

After all, besides Gu Mo Lan Ya, there are also Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Empress, Wenren Yun Shu, Gu Mo Rong Rong, Ren Qing Rui and other good sisters who know the truth!
However, whether Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and their sisters will tell Young Master Liu the truth is another matter entirely.

Liu Mingzhi took a small puff of his pipe, then bent down slightly to knock out the remaining tobacco from the bowl.

He then quickly straightened up, turned and glanced at Gu Molanya with a faint smile.

"Lan Ya".

"Hey, little sister's here, brother-in-law, what do you want to say?"

"Lanya, it's not good to just stand here like this. Let's walk around some more."

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Molanya's response, he took the lead and walked forward with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya saw that Young Master Liu had already started walking forward, and hurriedly lifted her lotus feet to follow him.

"Okay, coming, coming."
