As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking with a smile, Ling Weier's cheerful response immediately came from inside the room.

"My lord, please wait a moment, I will go open the door for you right away."

Upon hearing Ling Weier's cheerful reply, Liu Mingzhi was about to respond with a smile when he seemed to suddenly realize something, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly turned his head again and looked directly at the room where Gu Molanya lived.

At this moment, Gu Molanya had already walked from the main hall of the room to the bedroom behind the screen, and her graceful figure, illuminated by the lamplight, had moved from the door to the window of the bedroom.

Under Young Master Liu's unwavering gaze, the graceful figure reflected in the flickering light of the room was pacing back and forth in the bedroom.

Judging from the movements of the shadow cast on the window, the beautiful woman inside the room seems to be tidying up something.

Just as Young Master Liu's gaze followed the graceful figure moving back and forth through the window, the door in front of him was suddenly opened from the inside.

Immediately, Ling Wei'er, with her graceful figure, alluring curves, and wearing only a thin, close-fitting garment, appeared before Young Master Liu with a radiant smile.

Ling Wei'er looked at Young Master Liu, who was turning his head to look at Gu Mo Lan Ya's room, and said softly with her lips slightly parted, "Husband, it's windy outside, please come in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi turned around and glanced at the beautiful woman standing inside the threshold, smiling radiantly at him. He did not respond to her words, but instead quickly turned his head again to look at the graceful figure above the window of Gu Molanya's room.

Upon seeing this, Ling Wei'er's beautiful smile faltered slightly, and a clear look of doubt flashed across her large, almond-shaped eyes.

Immediately, she couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows slightly, and then lifted her lotus feet to step over the threshold and into the room.

Then, she slightly turned her slender waist and looked in the same direction as her husband, who was turning his head to look, towards the boudoir where Gu Molanya lived.

When Ling Wei'er saw Gu Mo Lan Ya's beautiful silhouette reflected in the window by the candlelight in the room, the expression on her stunning face changed slightly.

At this moment, she vaguely understood why her husband was the way he was now.

Although Ling Wei'er had a vague idea of ​​why her husband was reacting this way, she still pretended to be puzzled and asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Upon hearing Ling Weier's questioning tone, Liu Mingzhi opened his mouth and silently let out a soft breath.

"call!"

This time, he still didn't answer the beautiful woman beside him, but instead kept his eyes fixed on the graceful figure that had stopped at the window not far away.

Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly as he gazed at the graceful figure above the window, his expression shifting repeatedly.

Although he hadn't actually seen his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, enter the room, he was now absolutely certain that the graceful, curvaceous figure visible through the window not far away was his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya.

He clearly remembered that when he was talking to Lan Ya, there were no shadows reflected on the doors or windows of any of the other rooms.

There were no shadows reflected in the doors and windows of the other rooms, and Lan Ya had just returned to her own room.

In that case, who else could the figure in the window of the room in front of him be but his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya?

After confirming that the graceful figure above the window not far away was his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, Liu Mingzhi turned his gaze strangely toward the room next to Gu Molanya's, where Ying'er lived.

At this moment, Ying'er's room was still pitch black, just like before.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Ying'er's room, and then at Gu Molanya's room.

Then, his gaze shifted back and forth over the room where Ying'er and Gu Molanya, the two sisters, lived.

As his gaze moved back and forth over the rooms of the two sisters, Ying'er and Gu Molanya, his expression became increasingly strange.

At this moment, the question in Young Master Liu's heart was completely answered. He finally understood why his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, had been stealing strange glances at him from time to time today.

That’s it, that’s it!

At this moment, the words he had spoken with Qinglian, Huyan Junyao, and Ying'er during their intimate moments the previous night involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

After carefully recalling the words he had spoken to Ying'er and her two sisters the night before, Liu Mingzhi's expression changed repeatedly.

No wonder when I asked Lan Ya why she kept stealing glances at me, she kept giving me the runaround and playing the fool to avoid my question!
No wonder Lan Ya was pleading with him not to ask any more questions until the very last moment.

No wonder Lan Ya told me why she was spying on me; it was something she found hard to say!
I understand, I understand, I understand everything.

Faced with such a question, if I were Lanya, I would also find it difficult to speak.

No, no, no, no.

This kind of problem is not just difficult to talk about; it's an understatement to say that it's impossible to even begin to discuss it.

After all, Lan Ya is still a young, unmarried woman!

For his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, who was still unmarried, she must have either been out of her mind or drunk and started to speak her mind, to be able to tell him without any pressure why her brother-in-law kept stealing glances at him today.

Of course, these two scenarios are merely my personal speculations.

No one but Lanya herself knew the specifics of the situation.

It's possible that even if Lanya is confused or drunk, she won't tell me why she was spying on me.

Finally, Young Master Liu's gaze settled again on Gu Molan's beautiful silhouette reflected in the window by the room's lights.

After staring quietly at his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, for a while, Liu Mingzhi recalled the words he had spoken with Ying'er and her two sisters the night before.

Gradually, the expression on his face became increasingly awkward. If nothing unexpected happened, his usual image should already be completely destroyed in Lan Ya's mind, right?

At that moment, he really wanted to raise his hand and slap himself twice.

However, for some reason, the thought that Lan Ya had overheard everything he, Qinglian, and Huyan Junyao had said the night before stirred a strange sense of excitement deep within him.

Immediately afterwards, the words his beloved wife Qi Yun had said to him a few days ago involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

After roughly recalling Qi Yun's words to him, urging him to take Lan Ya into his household, Liu Mingzhi felt a surge of emotion deep within his heart.

To be honest, he had never had such thoughts before.

Before this, he had always regarded his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, as a good younger sister.

After all, Lan Ya's age is at most only one or two years older than her two eldest daughters, Liu Yiyi and Liu Feifei.

Because of Lan Ya's age, I never thought about what kind of feelings would develop between me and my sister-in-law.

The reason why Liu Mingzhi had never thought about this matter was simply because the age difference between him and Lan Ya was too great.

You know, I'm already over thirty.

Then there's his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, who is only in her early twenties.

One was a man in his early forties, and the other was a beautiful young woman in her early twenties.

How could two people with such a large age gap possibly spark a flame of love?
Liu Mingzhi has lived more than half his life and has experienced all the things one is meant to experience in life.

In his view, two people with a large age gap can only get together because of either power or beauty.

To put it bluntly, one of them coveted the other's power and influence, while the other coveted the other's youth and beauty.

Only for this reason could two people with such a large age gap come together.

Otherwise, why would a young and beautiful woman choose to marry an older man who is about the same age as her father, instead of finding a suitable husband of similar age?

Of course, it would be biased and too absolute to generalize about everything.

Liu Mingzhi was not the kind of person who was stubborn and inflexible. He was very clear in his heart that some things were not absolute.

In most cases, relationships between older men and younger women involve ulterior motives, but that doesn't necessarily mean there can't be genuine feelings involved.

Young Master Liu was unaware of the situation in other places.

However, he was still very clear about the situation in the capital city of Dalong.

As for Young Master Liu, he knew everything about the powerful and wealthy families in Dalong's capital.

In the capital city of Dalong, there are many cases of older men marrying younger women. Some women marry because they have ulterior motives, while others marry because they are forced to due to the power and influence of the man.

The last and very rarest case is when the woman truly admires the man's talent and character, which is why she marries him.

Although such cases are rare, it does not mean that they do not exist.

However, even though Young Master Liu knew that such a situation existed, he still never stopped thinking about what would happen between him and Lan Ya.

This is because he simply had no time to think about matters of love and romance during this period.

However, things are different now.

He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly felt a strange flutter in his heart.

After feeling the stirring in his heart, Liu Mingzhi's expression tightened slightly, and he quickly averted his gaze from the beautiful figure he was staring at through the window not far away.

Immediately, he first took a few deep breaths with his mouth open, then turned around with a smile and looked at Ling Weier's beautiful face.

"Exhale! Inhale! Exhale! Inhale!"

"Weier."

Hearing her husband's soft call, Ling Wei'er quickly withdrew her gaze from the figure of Gu Mo Lan Ya reflected in the window by the candlelight in the room.

"Yes, I am here, my husband, please speak."

Liu Mingzhi leaned forward slightly and glanced up at the bright moon shining in the night sky. Then, he casually tugged at his outer robe and walked unhurriedly toward Ling Weier's room.

"Wei'er, it's late, and the night wind in the courtyard is getting stronger. Let's hurry inside!"

Seeing her husband head straight for her room, Ling Wei'er smiled and nodded lightly, then gracefully followed Liu Dashao.

"Okay, coming, coming."

After Ling Wei'er gracefully entered the room, she glanced at Young Master Liu, who was heading straight for the bedroom behind the screen, with a smile in her beautiful eyes. Then, with a radiant smile, she turned around and gently closed the door in front of her with her delicate white hands.

Just as the two doors were about to close, she glanced at the graceful figure in the window of the opposite room, a fleeting, almost imperceptible mischievous glint in her large, almond-shaped eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she gently bolted the door, then turned and walked gracefully toward the bedroom behind the screen.

When Ling Wei'er gracefully entered the bedroom, Young Master Liu had just draped the outer robe he had just taken off over the clothes rack in front of him. (End of Chapter)
