The atmosphere between the two of them when they returned to the house suddenly became a little awkward. Gu Ziyan looked at Lu Jingling, who was standing at the gate of the Celestial Sect and looking out through the peephole. For a moment, she did not know what expression she should use to face him.

However, Lu Jingling, who was focused on watching the outside, did not know what Gu Ziyan was thinking at all. Seeing that Gu Xueqian had indeed left, he walked into the room and said, "She's gone."

When Gu Ziyan heard this, she slowly nodded her head. She pursed her lips, as if she had made a very big decision.

"Thank you." She said a little unnaturally.

Lu Jingling was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses. With a gentle smile on his face, he shook his head slightly and said, "No need to apologize. I volunteered."

Seeing that he was still somewhat pleased with himself, Gu Ziyan could not help but cut him off and said, "Where did you hide my son?"

"In the bedroom."

When Gu Ziyan heard this, she went back to the bedroom and brought Gu Anning out.

There were a lot of things that happened today. Gu Anning always returned to the bedroom, which made him feel a little impatient.

He raised his head and blinked his big eyes at Gu Ziyan. "Mommy, I don't want to go back to the bedroom. Can I come out and play?"

Gu Ziyan, on the other hand, felt a little sorry for her son. With an apologetic smile on her face, she squatted down and stroked his soft hair. "It's Mommy's fault, but you have to understand that Mommy is doing this for your own good. You're still young, so there are some things I can't let you know."

"Then when I grow up, won't I not have to hide in my room and be able to protect Mommy?"

"Yeah."

Gu Ziyan said gently.

Gu Anning listened to her words and nodded seriously. He said with a serious expression, "Then I want to grow up quickly! So that I can protect Mommy!"

"Alright."

Gu Ziyan's heart softened when she saw Gu Anning's cute appearance. She replied softly.

When Lu Jingling saw the warm scene between the mother and son, his expression could not help but become much gentler.

"Then go and play by yourself. Mommy still has work to do." She felt Lu Jingling's gaze and her heart tightened. She patted Gu Anning on the back and said.

When Gu Anning heard that he could play, he could not help but cheer and ran away.

After she ran far away, Gu Ziyan slowly stood up. The gentle smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Since she had already thanked him, there was no need to keep him around.

"Do you want to walk out by yourself now, or do you want to wait for me to chase you out?"

Gu Ziyan's cold words made Lu Jingling not know whether to laugh or cry. He had just helped her so much, and now he was going to turn his back on her?

This woman's mood change was too fast!

He wanted to make some more jokes, but seeing that Gu Ziyan's expression was gradually becoming serious, he quickly took back the words he was about to say and said, "I'll walk by myself, I'll walk by myself."

Anyway, now that he knew that Gu Ziyan was fine, his heart was at ease.

As for why he came here, there was no need to tell Gu Ziyan.

Gu Ziyan watched as Lu Jingling left. Seeing that the door was slowly closed, she retracted her gaze and continued with her chores.

After Lu Jingling left, his originally kind face changed into a cold one in the next second.

Now that he was fine, he had to investigate the matter regarding the newspaper.

He called someone to find out as soon as possible, while he found a nearby coffee shop and sat down.

The melodious music in the coffee shop calmed Lu Jingling's heart, and in the time it took to have a cup of coffee, all the results of the investigation appeared on his phone.

Lu Jingling immediately turned on his phone and carefully read the report on it word by word. When he saw that Tang Yurou was the author, his eyes narrowed.

It seemed that... The warning from last time did not have any effect.

Lu Jingling thought for a moment, then got up to pay the bill. He flagged down a taxi and went straight to Tang Yurou's house.

However, on his way there, Gu Xueqian had already arrived early. At this moment, she was talking bad about Gu Ziyan with Tang Yurou and telling her about her meeting with Lu Jingling.

"Are you sure you saw them together?"

Tang Yurou's face was still filled with suspicion, but in her heart, she wished that Gu Xueqian would leave right now.

How could she not know about the matter between Gu Xueqian and Lu Jingling? But she thought that this was her personal matter, and her relationship with Gu Xueqian was not to the point of telling her everything, so it was obviously unnecessary for her to come to find him.

However, Gu Xueqian did not see through Tang Yurou's thoughts at all. She thought that Tang Yurou did not dare to believe it. Instead, she nodded with a serious expression and said, "It's true! I saw it with my own eyes! I'd wanted to have a good chat with Gu Ziyan about Lu Jingchuan - who would've thought that something like this would happen? "

It was impossible for Gu Xueqian to reveal her shrewish side, so she specially adapted the story to make it real without destroying her image.

Tang Yurou didn't care what she looked like. She nodded with an awkward smile and said, "I believe Lu Jingling. He might have some private matters to discuss with Gu Ziyan. The two of them should have trust in each other."

Just as Tang Yurou was speaking, she heard Lu Jingling's slightly angry voice.

The two of them couldn't help but reveal stunned expressions. They looked at Lu Jingling, not expecting him to suddenly appear.

Tang Yurou could not help but have a bad feeling in her heart. She forced a smile on her face, then stood up and walked to Lu Jingling's side. She gently held his arm and said, "Why did you suddenly come? Why didn't you call and tell me in advance?"

She pretended to be gentle as she spoke, trying her best to act like they loved each other in front of Gu Xueqian.

Gu Xueqian obviously wanted to watch a good show.

Lu Jingling did not plan to give Tang Yurou any face at all. He coldly pulled his arm back and said, "What happened to the newspaper?"

Tang Yurou was stunned, and the smile on her face froze. However, because there were still outsiders around, it was not good for her to say anything more.

She pretended to be stupid and said, "What newspaper? I stayed at home all day."

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Lu Jingling could not help but sneer. There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes as he said, "You don't want to admit it?"

"I didn't do anything. What do you want me to admit?"

Gu Xueqian couldn't help but feel a little pleased when she noticed that the atmosphere wasn't quite right. After all, she hadn't received any good treatment from Lu Jingchuan either - yet, she still had an expression of concern on her face.

"What's going on? If you have something to say, then say it properly."

Gu Xueqian's words made Lu Jingling's gaze fall on her, and the coldness on his face became even stronger.
