My wife is number one in the world

Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head, slowly lowering his right hand, which was giving Gu Molanya a thumbs-up.

"Lan Ya, besides these, is there anything else you want to say to your brother?"

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's question, Gu Molanya nodded several times to Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Yes, brother-in-law, I have something to say."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly to Gu Molanya, then smiled faintly and said softly, "Lanya, go ahead and speak. I'm listening!"

Gu Molan smiled slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Brother-in-law, I have a small question I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately raised an eyebrow with a curious expression.

"Lan Ya, what question do you want to ask me?"

Seeing the curiosity on Young Master Liu's face, Gu Molanya smiled and gently lifted her lotus foot to walk.

"Brother-in-law, I just want to ask you something. When you notice me stealing glances at you every now and then, what's your first reaction?"

When Liu Mingzhi heard Gu Molanya ask him this question, he glanced at her and pondered for a moment before immediately understanding the purpose of his sister-in-law's inquiry.

Good heavens, good heavens! It turns out that Lan Ya dug a hole for herself here!
At this moment, he finally understood why his sister-in-law had repeatedly asked him if he was sure that there had never been any direct eye contact between him and his sister during the day.

Moreover, he not only understood why Lan Ya kept asking him if he was sure about the statement, but he also guessed what Lan Ya would say to him after he answered her question.

If, as he expected, he answered Lan Ya that his first reaction when he noticed her stealing glances at him was to turn his head or turn around to look at her, then she would most likely use the same words he had said to her to refute him.

Conversely, if I were to answer Lan Ya that I would pretend I didn't notice her peeking at me and that I didn't turn around to look at her, then Lan Ya would definitely retort immediately. She would say that I didn't even turn around to look at her once, so why am I so sure that she would be peeking at me from time to time? Is it just based on the feeling that I don't believe her little sister at all?
Of course, these are just my guesses. Whether Lan Ya will actually refute me with such words is still unknown!
Liu Mingzhi looked at Gu Molanya, who was walking lightly and gracefully in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief with a smile.

To confirm whether his guess was accurate, he decided to play with Lan Ya for a little while longer.

"Lan Ya".

Although Gu Molanya was pacing back and forth with light, graceful steps, her gaze never left Young Master Liu.

At this moment, she heard her brother-in-law's soft call and quickly walked to stop in front of Young Master Liu.

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

Seeing his sister-in-law stop in front of him, Young Master Liu smiled faintly and raised his right hand to wave to Gu Molanya.

"Lan Ya, you don't need to stop. I don't want to stand anymore. Let's move around a bit more."

"Okay, okay." Gu Molan responded to Young Master Liu in a sweet voice, and then quickly lifted her lotus foot to follow him as he started to walk forward.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, if I notice you stealing glances at me every now and then, I'll definitely turn around or look at you right away!"

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law say this, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Hehehe, you naughty brother-in-law, you've fallen for my tricks again.

Little sister, no matter how you answer the question I just asked you, brother-in-law, I can always find reasons and excuses to refute you.

This time, little sister, let's see what you do.

After quickly suppressing her secret joy, Gu Molanya immediately feigned surprise and turned her fair and slender neck to look at Young Master Liu.

"Brother-in-law, this isn't right, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi turned his head with a smile and looked at Gu Molanya.

"Something's not right? Lanya, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's question, Gu Molanya immediately parted her red lips and replied sweetly, "Brother-in-law, you told me yourself that there was never a moment during the day when our eyes met directly."

I've confirmed this with you, brother-in-law, several times before.

And, little sister, I also told you, brother-in-law, so you'd better remember that.

Brother-in-law, you said it yourself, a real man keeps his word, you'll remember that.

As Gu Molanya spoke softly and sweetly, the expression on her beautiful face suddenly became serious.

“Brother-in-law, if I really do steal glances at you from time to time, and when you notice me doing so, you immediately turn around or look at me, then why don’t our eyes meet directly?”

"Brother-in-law, everything I just said, you said to me yourself. You wouldn't deny it, would you?"

After hearing Gu Molanya's last question to him, Liu Mingzhi smiled and gently shook his head at her.

"Hehehe, no, no, I will never deny what I said."

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's affirmative reply, Gu Molanya's beautiful face, which had been serious, was instantly replaced by a sweet smile.

"That's good, that's good. If you admit it, then I can rest assured."

"Brother-in-law, since you admit to what you said before, can you explain to me why our eyes didn't meet during the day?"

As Gu Molan spoke in a soft and gentle tone, she suddenly changed the subject and continued in a sweet voice, "Well, brother-in-law, I've thought about it, and actually you don't need to explain. I've already figured out what's going on myself, because the reason is already very obvious."

As soon as Gu Molanya finished speaking, Young Master Liu immediately raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.

"Oh? How do you say it?"

Seeing Liu Dashao's surprised reaction, Gu Molanya chuckled and snapped her fingers forcefully with her slender white hand. "Hehehe, brother-in-law, the reason why our eyes never met during the day is because I didn't steal a glance at you even once in a while."

Only in this way can we, brother and sister, avoid making direct eye contact during the day today.

Brother-in-law, to be honest, I really don't want to keep hurting you.

However, facts have proven that your feelings were not very accurate.

After listening to his sister-in-law's serious explanation, Liu Mingzhi chuckled happily.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

Just as he expected, Lan Ya actually used the same words he had said to her to refute him.

Although Young Master Liu had already anticipated that Lan Ya would use the words he had said before to refute him, he still couldn't help but secretly admire his sister-in-law's intelligence.

It's important to understand that not everyone can come up with a way to fight fire with fire in a short period of time.

My first guess has been confirmed; now it's time to verify my second guess.

After smiling faintly and smacking his lips twice, Liu Mingzhi turned around and went back.

"Lan Ya".

Upon seeing this, Gu Molanya immediately turned around gracefully and followed Liu Dashao with light, lotus-like steps.

Immediately, she smiled and looked at Young Master Liu walking in front of her, replying sweetly, "Hey, brother-in-law, what are you saying? I'm listening!"

Liu Mingzhi tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Molanya, who had already turned around and followed, and smacked his lips lightly with a faint smile.

"Lan Ya, good girl, do you know that?"

Actually, I was just joking with you earlier. Today, I was either playing mahjong with all your good sisters or discussing some important things with them.

Let me tell you about the evenings after sunset. I either drink with Brother Song and Brother Huyan, or after the banquet, I take Yun'er, Yan'er, Qingrui, and all the other sisters, along with Yue'er, to escort Yike home.

Then, I, along with you sisters and that girl Yue'er, spent about two cups of tea's time chatting with Krich and his family at their home.

After our whole family returned home from outside the palace, I, as the elder brother, chatted with Liu Song for a while about his relationship with Sophia.

It's fair to say that I've been busy with all sorts of things, big and small, all day long.

Under these circumstances, do you think I, as your brother, could possibly find the time to simply turn around or look at you directly?

As Liu Mingzhi spoke with a smile, he noticed Gu Molan's expression change slightly and chuckled.

"Hahaha, hahaha~ hahahaha."

"Lan Ya, what a great girl."

"So, I was just joking with you, sister."

The truth is, when I noticed you stealing glances at me every now and then, I would quietly keep it to myself.

Only when I, as your brother, am truly at ease will I be able to calmly and carefully consider why you kept stealing glances at me today.

Lan Ya, when I discovered you were spying on me, if I had simply turned around and looked at you without hesitation, I would have immediately asked you why you were secretly observing me during the day.

The fact that I waited until evening to come see you is the best proof of that.”

What Liu Mingzhi said next was both a pretext and the truth.

He called it an excuse because even if he was extremely busy today, he wouldn't be so busy that he couldn't even spare the time to turn around or glance at Gu Molanya.

It's just a matter of turning your body or head, which takes at most a breath or two, or even less.

In such a short time, how could he possibly not be able to pull it out?

To be honest, after he noticed that his sister-in-law was stealing glances at him every now and then, he didn't turn around or look at her himself.

As for why he didn't do that, the reason is actually quite simple: he didn't know why Lan Ya kept stealing glances at him.

In addition, because Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Qinglian, Qi Ya, the Empress, Wenren Yunshu, Gu Mo Rongrong, Huang Lingyi, Ren Qingrui, and the little cutie and her daughter were always by her side, it was not convenient for her to directly ask Lan Ya why she was spying on her.

If Lan Ya's reason for peeping at him is a private matter for her, then if he were to directly ask Lan Ya why she was peeping at him in front of Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and Little Cutie and her daughter, it might make the girl feel embarrassed.

To put it bluntly, there are two reasons why I didn't directly ask Lan Ya why she would steal glances at me from time to time.

On the one hand, he didn't know why Lan Ya would secretly watch him, and on the other hand, he was considering Lan Ya's feelings.

Regardless of her reasons for spying on him, it's better to keep this from being known by more people.

Moreover, Liu Mingzhi knew very well that Lan Ya could tell that what he had just said was just an excuse.

Regarding Gu Mo Lan Ya's spying on Young Master Liu, both Gu Mo Lan Ya and Young Master Liu were perfectly aware that their back-and-forth conversation was nothing but excuses from beginning to end.

However, neither Young Master Liu nor Gu Molanya could directly prove this point.
