Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Gu Molanya hurriedly and vigorously shook her head at him.

"Brother-in-law, it's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration at all."

What I just said came from the bottom of my heart!

Brother-in-law, really, these are all my heartfelt words.

Regardless of whether her brother-in-law would believe her, Gu Molanya repeatedly emphasized to Young Master Liu that everything she had said was from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Mingzhi was neither a brainless idiot nor did he have any problems with his eyes.

Therefore, he naturally did not believe that what his sister-in-law had just said was her heartfelt truth.

After all, he had clearly seen Lan Ya's behavior and reaction just now.

Judging from Gu Mo Lan Ya's behavior and sudden change, Young Master Liu immediately understood that the reason why Lan Ya kept praising what he had said earlier was simply because she had already understood the meaning behind his words.

However, Young Master Liu did not intend to expose Gu Molanya.

It's best to keep things to yourselves; exposing the truth will only make Lanya feel awkward.

After taking a small puff of his pipe, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded gently to Gu Molanya.

"Lan Ya, you don't need to emphasize this to me again and again. I just believe you."

Hearing her brother-in-law's calm reply, Gu Molanya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her beautiful face instantly lit up with a sweet smile that was more beautiful than any flower.

Immediately afterwards, with a beaming smile, she quickly raised her fair and flawless hand and gave Young Master Liu a thumbs up again.

"Hehehe, brother-in-law is wise, brother-in-law is sagacious!"

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and shook his head.

"Lanya, my dear sister, let's not talk about this anymore."

My brother and I have been chatting about unrelated things for quite a while now, so it's time to get back to the main topic.

When Gu Mo Lan Ya heard Young Master Liu say that they were getting back to the main topic, the beautiful smile on her face, which was more charming than a flower, froze slightly.

Immediately, the smile on her pretty face gradually disappeared until there was not a trace of it left.

"Oh fine!"

Seeing the smile on his sister-in-law's pretty face gradually disappear, Young Master Liu let out a long sigh.

"Shut up!"

"Lan Ya".

Hearing her brother-in-law's gentle voice, Gu Molanya's graceful body trembled slightly. Then, with a slight tremor in her eyes, she looked at Young Master Liu and nodded gently a few times.

"Hey little sister, brother-in-law, what are you saying? I'm listening!"

After taking a deep drag of his pipe, Liu Mingzhi raised an eyebrow and exchanged a curious glance with Gu Molan, whose eyes were trembling as she looked at him.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, can you tell me why you kept stealing glances at me today?"

When Gu Molan saw that her brother-in-law had finally asked the question, she instinctively looked away from Liu Dashao.

Then, while gently biting her red lips with her pearly white teeth, she furtively fiddled with her slender fingers on her fair hand.

"I...I...I..."

"Brother-in-law, I...I..."

Gu Molanya hesitated, then mumbled several incoherently on the ground before finally failing to give Young Master Liu any meaningful explanation.

Seeing his sister-in-law's hesitant expression, unable to utter a word, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Lan Ya, is my question difficult to answer?"

"Mmm-hmm." Upon hearing Young Master Liu's question, Gu Molanya nodded vigorously without hesitation, then lowered her head and replied in a muffled voice, "It is indeed difficult for me to answer."

In fact, she simply didn't know how to answer him, brother-in-law.

Upon hearing Gu Molan's muffled reply, Liu Mingzhi's expression immediately turned to surprise.

"Hmm? What? Not only is it difficult to answer, but you simply don't know how to answer me, brother?"

Hearing her brother-in-law's surprised tone, Gu Molanya glanced at Liu Dashao with a slightly resentful expression and nodded gently to him a few times.

"Yes, brother-in-law, that's exactly right."

Seeing the somewhat resentful expression on Gu Molan's pretty face, Liu Mingzhi immediately frowned, raised his left hand, and gently scratched his earlobe twice.

"Lan Ya, good girl, well, this isn't that serious, is it?"
The reason I'm asking you, sister, is simply because you were peeking at me.

This isn't some very private question about how your daughter is doing, girl. Is it really that hard for you to answer?

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law's slightly hesitant question, she immediately nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Brother-in-law, I really have a hard time answering your question.

Upon hearing Gu Molan's affirmative reply, Liu Mingzhi, still frowning, took a small puff of his pipe.

Immediately, he raised his hand with a puzzled expression and gently scratched the back of his head.

"Lan Ya, to be honest, I really can't understand it."

"All I wanted to know was why you were peeking at me, girl. Why is that such a difficult question to answer, or even how to answer it at all?"

Seeing her brother-in-law's puzzled expression, Gu Molanya took a deep breath.

"Brother-in-law, it's because you want to know why I was spying on you that this question is so difficult for me to answer, to the point that I don't even know how to answer you properly."

After replying to Young Master Liu in a delicate voice filled with helplessness, Gu Molanya lowered her head slowly, her pretty face showing a wronged expression.

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi murmured a few times, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, giving a deep, thoughtful look to Gu Molanya, who was looking down. He then turned his gaze and began to ponder.

Wait, what's going on here?

Isn't it just because Lan Ya was secretly watching me? Is that question really that hard to answer?

Could it be that there really is some reason that Lan Ya finds difficult to talk about? But that shouldn't be the case at all!

I've thought about this carefully before, no, I've thought about it several times.

Liu Mingzhi was absolutely certain that, based on the time he had spent alone with Lan Ya in the past few days, there was absolutely nothing that would make Lan Ya want to spy on him.

At the same time, there was nothing that Lanya was too embarrassed to talk about.

The only thing that Lanya found difficult to talk about was that when she was taking a shower with cold water outside her room for half a day, Lanya accidentally saw her naked.

However, the crucial issue is that Lanya saw him naked after she had spied on him!

Gu Molanya lowered her head and remained silent, while Young Master Liu pondered silently, his mind filled with questions.

For a time, apart from the sound of the wind and the occasional chirping of insects from the corners of the walls, there was no other noise in the large courtyard.

After a long while, Gu Molan slowly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and looked up at Young Master Liu in front of her.

"Brother-in-law."

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's low, soft voice calling out, Liu Mingzhi immediately snapped out of his reverie.

Then, he quickly turned to look at Gu Molanya.

Then, he immediately saw that Gu Molanya was looking at him with slightly red eyes.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Gu Molan's slightly reddened eyes and was momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized what was happening.

"Hey, Lanya, you tell me."

With a complicated expression, Gu Molanya gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, then looked at Young Master Liu and blinked her slightly red, watery eyes a few times.

"Brother-in-law, could my little sister... could my little sister not answer this question?"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's words, Young Master Liu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

"No...no answer?"

Liu Dashao, whose brows were slightly furrowed, nodded his head a few times without hesitation, and then said softly with a somewhat flustered tone, "Yes, yes, that's right, brother-in-law, can I not answer?"

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's hesitant reply, Liu Mingzhi's expression immediately became conflicted.

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, we've been talking about this for over an hour now, about how you were spying on me."

So, my dear sister, you're just leaving me, your brother, with a belly full of questions?

"I...I...I..."

After hesitatingly humming a few times, Gu Molanya lowered her head again, her eyes reddening.

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and brought his pipe to his mouth.

After silently exhaling a large puff of his pipe, he leaned slightly forward and gently tapped the remaining tobacco from the pipe onto the ground in front of him.

Immediately, he glanced around and fell silent.

A moment later, Young Master Liu gently turned his head to look at Gu Molanya, who was still bowing her head and remaining silent.

"Lan Ya".

Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law's gentle voice calling out and quickly raised her head to look at Young Master Liu.

"Hey, little sister's here. Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Little sister's listening!"

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly, took a light breath, straightened his waist slightly, and slowly stood up from the steps below.

Upon seeing her brother-in-law get up, Gu Molanya immediately stretched out her pair of fair and flawless hands to quickly straighten her clothes, and then she hurriedly stood up from the steps above her pert buttocks.

Liu Mingzhi casually tugged at his outer robe a couple of times before smiling at Gu Molanya, who had also gotten up.

"Lan Ya, let me ask you a question."

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya quickly raised her jade-like hand to straighten the outer garment on her graceful body, and then nodded her head a few times to Young Master Liu with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Brother-in-law, go ahead and ask."

Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Mo Lanya, who looked somewhat nervous, and said softly, "Lanya, let me ask you, what does your reason for spying on me today have to do with your own affairs?"

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law ask her this question, she shook her head vigorously at Young Master Liu without even thinking for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, it's alright."

Seeing Gu Molanya's decisive answer, Young Master Liu immediately nodded with a smile.

"Okay! It's alright then."

"Lan Ya, my dear sister, let me ask you again, is the reason you were spying on me today because you encountered something you can't handle?"

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law ask her a question, she once again shook her head vigorously at Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Mmm, brother-in-law, I haven't encountered any problems that I can't solve on my own."

When Liu Mingzhi saw that Gu Molanya's answer was as decisive as ever, he simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Excellent! Very good, very good indeed!"
"Lan Ya, my dear sister, I have one last question for you. Is the reason you were peeking at me today a little embarrassing to say?"

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, this time Gu Mo Lan Ya did not shake her head at Young Master Liu without hesitation as she had done the previous two times. Instead, she nodded her head a few times obediently at Young Master Liu.

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, it is indeed... a little difficult to say."

Brother-in-law, we siblings have already discussed this issue to this extent, so I'll be frank with you as well.

Brother-in-law, good brother-in-law.

If it weren't for the fact that the reason I was spying on you was too embarrassing for me to talk about, then I wouldn't have pretended not to know you time and time again.

Similarly, I will not play those little tricks on you, brother-in-law, again and again.

Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry.

Little sister, I...I...I really don't want to answer your question. Please, brother-in-law, don't ask any more questions.

Because, little sister, I really don't know how to answer your question.

Brother-in-law, I beg you, please don't ask any more questions, okay? (End of Chapter)
