After coughing loudly a few times, Liu Mingzhi immediately called out to Gu Molanya, who was racking her brains for a solution.

"Lan Ya".

Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law's sudden soft call and quickly suppressed her thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, she pretended to slowly adjust her breathing while slightly raising her eyes to look at Young Master Liu.

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

Seeing his sister-in-law pretending to adjust her breathing, Liu Mingzhi smiled and gently pointed his pipe at Gu Molanya's slightly parted cherry lips.

Then, he chuckled and teased softly, "Lan Ya, if you keep panting like this, you might throw up your heart."

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law teasing her, she immediately closed her slightly parted red lips.

She had barely closed her red lips when she suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, why am I closing my lips?
I'm not some lifeless clay figure, wooden figure, or stone figure; I'm a living, breathing person with a vibrant life.

As a living, breathing human being, isn't it perfectly normal for me to breathe with my mouth open?

After realizing what was happening, Gu Molanya immediately feigned a coquettish expression and gave Liu Dashao a soft, sweet hum.

"Humph!"

"Brother-in-law, you were taking deep breaths earlier, and more than once. I didn't see you spit your heart out of your mouth!"

Besides, how dare you say that, you stinky brother-in-law!
Little sister, don't you know why I was taking deep breaths just now? It was because you made me angry, brother-in-law!

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's reproachful tone, Liu Mingzhi immediately feigned surprise and widened his eyes.

"Huh? What?"

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, what did you say? Did I upset you?"
"No, when did this happen? When did I ever upset you, my dear girl?"

Upon seeing her brother-in-law pretending to be confused, Gu Molan Ya immediately glared with her large, beautiful eyes, her face full of "anger".

"You stinky brother-in-law, you bad brother-in-law, stop pretending to be confused. You know perfectly well how you made me so angry."

Seeing Gu Molanya's angry expression, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and gently picked at the stubble on his chin.

"Lan Ya, girl, good girl."

"To be honest, you're wronging me. I just asked you when I made you angry because I didn't know what I did to upset you."

You silly girl, don't you even use your brain to think about it?

If I knew what was going on, would I still be asking you this question?
My dear sister, I don't even know when I made you angry, so how could I possibly know why I made you angry?

"Good girl, think about it carefully, doesn't that make sense?"

"You! You! You!" Gu Molanya stammered out three "you"s in a row, her red lips trembling. Then, she suddenly bit her lip and nodded vigorously at Young Master Liu: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, you stinky brother-in-law, you don't know, do you? You don't understand, do you?"

Alright, since you don't know what's going on, brother-in-law, then I'll explain it to you directly.

"You mean brother-in-law, you wicked brother-in-law! I'm so angry because of your unreasonable behavior towards me just now!"

After listening to his sister-in-law's words through gritted teeth, Young Master Liu nodded slightly with a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

After Liu Mingzhi suddenly realized what was going on and answered Gu Mo Lan Ya's question in a loud voice, he suddenly changed the subject and continued loudly, "Lan Ya, good sister, this isn't right!"

Brother, I've already made myself perfectly clear to you. All I wanted was for you to provide evidence that you weren't watching me. How is that being unreasonable?
Oh my god, I swear to God!
Lan Ya, to be honest, I just don't understand.

Since when has presenting evidence become a form of dishonesty?

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's words, Gu Molanya immediately opened her mouth slightly and retorted in a sweet voice, "You stinky brother-in-law, don't deliberately misinterpret what I said. I never said that speaking with evidence is a kind of shameless behavior."

Hearing Gu Molan's reproachful rebuttal, Liu Mingzhi first gently adjusted the sleeves on his wrists, then frowned slightly and raised his arms to cross his chest.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, one minute you're acting like I'm being a scoundrel, and the next you're saying you're providing evidence instead of being a scoundrel."

To be honest, you've almost confused me.

Since presenting evidence isn't considered shameless behavior, then why did you just accuse me of being shameless?

Hearing her brother-in-law's questioning tone, Gu Molanya frowned slightly and stared intently at Liu Dashao. After giving him a deep look, a hint of undisguised doubt flashed in her watery eyes.

Judging from his brother-in-law's tone and expression, he seemed genuinely confused about what was going on.

At this moment, Gu Molanya was unsure whether her brother-in-law genuinely didn't understand what was going on, or was deliberately playing dumb with her!
Could it be that I really misunderstood him?
The moment the thought popped into her mind, she quickly banished it.

Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!
If it were someone else, they might not understand what was going on.

However, with his brother-in-law's intelligence, how could he not understand such a simple thing?

He's faking it, faking it, he must be faking it. My brother-in-law is definitely playing dumb with me right now.

As Gu Molanya pondered this, she couldn't help but recall her brother-in-law's terrifying thinking ability when they were in the courtyard next door.

If it weren't for my repeated attempts to outsmart him, I would have been completely outmatched by my brother-in-law in a battle of wits alone.

Gu Molanya roughly recalled what had happened in the neighboring courtyard, and immediately became even more certain that her brother-in-law was pretending to be confused.

After realizing that her brother-in-law was pretending to be confused, Gu Molanya immediately replied in a coquettish voice with a face full of pout, "You naughty brother-in-law, showing evidence is not being a scoundrel."

"But if you ask me to produce evidence that I wasn't watching you at the time, then you're just trying to cheat me."

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's indignant reply, Liu Mingzhi chuckled with a strange expression.

"Hehehe, hehe~ hehehehe."

"Lan Ya, Lan Ya, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Presenting evidence is not being unreasonable. But if I ask you to produce evidence that you didn't see, then I'm being unreasonable.

Lanya, my dear girl, don't you think what you just said is contradictory?

Hearing Young Master Liu's strange question, Gu Molanya retorted without hesitation, "You stinky brother-in-law, you bad brother-in-law, don't try to confuse the issue. What I just said is completely consistent, because they are two entirely different things!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi feigned surprise and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? Two different things?"

Seeing the feigned surprise on Young Master Liu's face, Gu Molanya couldn't help but purse her lips.

That jerk of a brother-in-law, he's still pretending to be clueless with me.

Do you realize that the expression on your face looks very perfunctory?

After secretly despising Young Master Liu in her heart, Gu Molanya immediately nodded vigorously at him without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, that's right, they are two different things."

Hearing his sister-in-law's affirmative answer, Liu Mingzhi smiled and began to walk lightly.

"Lan Ya, this isn't right, is it?"

What you just said clearly conveyed the same meaning, so how can you say they're two different things?

Seeing that her brother-in-law was still deliberately trying to confuse her, Gu Molanya angrily bit her pearly white teeth and then raised her slender arm, pointing towards the courtyard next door.

“Brother-in-law, look over there, look at the courtyard where we were before.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi turned his head with a smile and looked in the direction Gu Molanya was pointing at the archway leading to the neighboring courtyard.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, I've already looked at the courtyard next door."

But what are you asking me to give you in my yard?

Hearing her brother-in-law's cheerful question, Gu Molanya immediately replied in a sweet voice with her lips slightly parted, "You naughty brother-in-law, I didn't ask you to see anything. You just need to look at the courtyard over there and listen to what I have to say."

"Hehehe, alright, alright, sister, you speak, and I'll listen attentively." Liu Mingzhi nodded gently and answered Gu Molanya cheerfully.

Seeing that Young Master Liu had already turned to look at the courtyard next door, Gu Molanya simply turned her slender waist slightly and also looked towards the courtyard next door.

"Brother-in-law, as I just told you, when we were talking in the middle courtyard, there were only the two of us in the entire courtyard."

Moreover, when we were testing whether your intuition was accurate, you were facing away from me, brother-in-law.

This means that only I know whether I was watching you or not; there is no one else who can prove to me whether I was watching you or not.

Under these circumstances, brother-in-law, you're now insisting that I provide evidence that I wasn't watching you at the time. Aren't you clearly making things difficult for me?

As Gu Molan Ya finished speaking with a frustrated tone, she suddenly turned around, her pretty face full of coquettishness, and gave Liu Dashao a soft hum.

"Humph!"

"You stinky brother-in-law, you bad brother-in-law, you know perfectly well that I can't produce any evidence, yet you still force me to produce some evidence to prove that I wasn't watching you at the time."

"You stinky brother-in-law, turn around and look me in the eyes! Tell me loudly, what else is this but trying to be a scoundrel to me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately withdrew his gaze from the neighboring courtyard and exchanged a cheerful glance with Gu Molan, who was looking at him with a coquettish expression.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahaha."

"Lan Ya, my good sister, according to you, what I'm doing is just being a scoundrel, isn't it?"

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law ask her this question with a smile, she pouted her red lips and gave Liu Dashao a soft snort.

"Humph!"

"You stinky brother-in-law, isn't this just being a scoundrel?"

Liu Mingzhi raised his right hand and gently tapped his brow a few times, then nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh~ Oh, I see, I see, I understand now, brother."

So this kind of behavior—knowing full well that the other person can't produce any evidence, yet still forcing them to produce one—is called being a rogue!

As Liu Mingzhi spoke with an expression of enlightenment, he suddenly smacked his lips a few times with a look of amazement. Then, he cheerfully raised his hands and clasped them together in a fist salute to Gu Molanya.

"oops!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk."

"I understand, I understand, brother, I understand."
"Lan Ya, good sister, thank you for your guidance. I have learned a lot from you."

Seeing this, Gu Molanya hurriedly raised her long, slender arms and waved her hand quickly at Young Master Liu.

"Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, please don't say that."

"I'm not worthy of that title, I absolutely cannot accept it."

Seeing his sister-in-law's reaction, Young Master Liu smiled and raised his hand to wave at Gu Molanya.

"Hey! Lanya, as the saying goes, those who are accomplished are teachers."

"My dear sister, you've helped me understand the doubts in my heart, so you certainly deserve to be called my guide."

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's words, Gu Molanya immediately shook her head vigorously.

"No, no, I can't accept that, I can't accept that, I can't accept that."

Upon hearing Gu Molan's reply, Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly, feigning helplessness.

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Lan Ya. If you say you can't accept it, then you can't accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya breathed a sigh of relief with her lips slightly parted, and then nodded her head a few times with a joyful smile, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mmm, hehe, brother-in-law is brilliant!"

After Gu Molanya answered her brother-in-law with a cheerful smile, she suddenly felt that something seemed a little off. (End of Chapter)
