The young man responded without doubting that he was there.

As everyone knows, the old man's thoughts at this moment flew back to a long time ago.

"Qiao Qiao was always so cheerful when she was a child, but later, she became engaged to Gu Xingzhou, and the smiles on her face became less and less."

The old man's voice was a little sad, "Tell me, why didn't I think before that she was unhappy around Gu Xingzhou?"

He obviously loved her so much, but he completely ignored her changes. He always thought that if she didn't want to, she would say so.

But he forgot that she was too filial and she just wanted him to be happy.

So for so many years, even if she wasn't happy, she never mentioned it to him until Gu Xingzhou was exposed.

He still regrets it and hates himself for not paying more attention to her.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yanchuan quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, the past is in the past, and our family will definitely get better and better in the future."

The old man looked at him and nodded.

"Mu Qing's case will go to trial in the next year. Now I just hope that she can get the punishment she deserves, so that my dead son and daughter-in-law can be happy in heaven."

Gu Yanchuan patted the back of his hand and said in a calm and determined voice, "I will definitely do it."

At this time, it was getting dark. Jian Qiao helped the servant to repair the puppy's nest, and walked towards them without caring about the mud on her hands and face.

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing her like this, the old man couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose.

"We are talking about where did this little tabby cat come from? Why is it all dirty? Yanchuan, don't you think so?"

The young man agreed with a smile, but only heard Jian Qiao "hum" and went upstairs angrily.

Gu Yanchuan was about to follow, but was stopped by the old man.

"Don't follow her eagerly. This girl doesn't have a big temper, but she has a lot of small tempers. You can't be pinched by her. You won't be able to escape even if you want to."

The young man looked at her leaving back with a smile on his lips.

"Don't run away."

He wished that she could be as wanton and happy as she was now in her whole life.

After dinner, the old man was showing off to them the firecrackers and fireworks he bought and other gadgets.

The old man started from scratch and suffered a lot when he was young. Although he has achieved such success now, he has never forgotten his roots.

Jian Qiao had been brought up by him since she was a child, so she was naturally the most like him, so when she saw those fireworks, her eyes immediately lit up.

She picked up some fireworks and was about to run out, but the old man didn't stop her and just asked Gu Yanchuan to follow her.

How could the young man catch up with her speed? When he came to the yard, he saw her holding a firework in one hand, swinging it wantonly. In the endless dark night, the fireworks bloomed with brilliant colors, which only made people's mood brighter. stand up.

Gu Yanchuan didn't come closer, he just sat there and looked at her quietly.

When Jian Qiao finished lighting up the small handful of fireworks in her hand, she was still a little unfinished. She turned around and met the young man not far away.

She ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.

"When did you come? Why was there no movement at all?"

She smiled brightly, her already bright facial features looked even more stunning at this moment, and her eyes were so bright that people couldn't take their eyes away.

Gu Yanchuan reached out and rubbed her head, then put his arm around her shoulders.

"I saw you were having fun, so I didn't call you."

Jian Qiao said "Oh" and then looked at him expectantly.

"I'll go get some more and let's play together, okay?"

Gu Yanchuan could not refuse, so he agreed with a smile.

Jian Qiao moved quickly and came out with a bag of fireworks this time.

The old man also followed out at this time. He seemed to be infected by the cheerful atmosphere, with a smile on his face. He played with them for a while, and suddenly, they saw gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky.

Jian Qiao was stunned, and suddenly felt that the small fireworks in her hand no longer smelled good.

She thought of the big fireworks her grandfather bought and was about to get them, but the old man grabbed her hand.

"You can't play with that."

Jian Qiao looked dissatisfied, "Why, I'm so old."

When she was a child, her grandfather thought it was dangerous and wouldn't let her play. Unexpectedly, she is so old now, but he still refuses.

Although she was unhappy, she didn't force herself to take it, but the old man couldn't help laughing when he saw her aggrieved look.

"Go and get it, grandpa will put it away for you."

Jian Qiao suddenly became happy and ran quickly into the living room, as if he was afraid that he would regret it if he was a second late.

When she brought the fireworks, the old man motioned for her to push Gu Yanchuan back, then walked to the center of the yard and lit the fuse.

The fireworks flew into the sky quickly, and the next second, they burst into extremely brilliant colors. Jian Qiao was stunned for a while, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

It seems that the happiness that was exclusive to childhood has returned at this moment.

But the splendor of this moment was short-lived after all. Before Jian Qiao could see enough, it completely dissipated.

Seeing her still unfinished, the old man deliberately made a serious face.

"You've played long enough today. It's getting late. Go back to bed."

After speaking, he left first.

After he left, Jian Qiao realized it later.

What he just said to her was exactly the same as when he was a child.

It turned out that it was not an illusion, he had always known what she was thinking.

She pushed Gu Yanchuan upstairs, and when she came to his room, the young man held her hand.

"Sister, are you happy?"

Jian Qiao said without hesitation, "Happy, I haven't been this happy for a long time!"

Gu Yanchuan suddenly thought of what surprise he would arrange for her at the wedding.

But he didn't reveal anything to her, he just touched her head with a gentle smile.

"Then I will play with you tomorrow."

Jian Qiao nodded quickly, and then kissed him on the cheek.

It turns out that in front of someone who truly loves her, she really just needs to be happy.

She felt extremely lucky.

Thinking of the upcoming New Year's Eve, she was even more looking forward to it.

She spent this New Year's Eve with the person she loved, and she had the simplest happiness in the world.

She could almost imagine what it would be like in Nancheng tomorrow night. It would be full of firecrackers and fireworks blooming in the sky.

She looked in the direction of the window, her eyes full of joy and expectation, and her appearance just happened to fall into Gu Yanchuan's eyes.

He didn't say anything, just stayed with her for a while, and then watched her leave.

But the warmth and softness around him was gone for a while, and he found it difficult to sleep. He simply started working again and assigned tasks to Zhao Le, which made him wail repeatedly and complained that he was the reincarnation of Zhou Papi.

Seeing that it was almost early in the morning, he finally closed the computer and was about to go back to sleep when he heard the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly ring.

He picked it up and took a look, and the next second, a smile appeared on his lips. (End of chapter)
