Gu Yan felt that Li Yi had an innate allure that tempted him, causing himself to uncontrollably encroach upon him.

Sitting beside Gu Qi, Gu Yan kept staring at the area below Li Yi's waist, his eyes constantly darting back and forth, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at it.

Gu Qi turned to see Gu Yan, who had a foolish expression on his face as he stared at Li Yi. So he scolded Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan, why haven't you greeted your second uncle yet? Why are you standing there foolishly?"

"Er... Uncle Er, hello." Gu Yan stared blankly at Li Yi, seeming both afraid and shy. In Gu Qi's eyes, this Gu Yan was just so useless; even speaking in such a soft voice, like a woman.

Why do you speak so softly, like a mosquito? Who can hear you speak? Can't you speak louder?" Gu Qi was very dissatisfied with Gu Yan. He felt that Gu Yan was acting feminine and bringing disgrace to their Gu family.

"...Um, Qigui, you called me today and asked me to come here, it's not just for a meal, right? Is there something important that you need my help with?" Li Yi noticed that Gu Yan kept his head low and refused to speak, feeling somewhat awkward in the presence of this father and son. Thus, he decided to break the silence by speaking up.

"Ah... it's still about this annoying brat. Little brother, I really can't rest assured handing over the family business in the southern district to him. I hope you can help cultivate him into a real man, just like you, a true man with unyielding determination. A man should have the appearance of a man, look at him, just look at him, what kind of appearance is that?"

Gu Qi hated that iron could not turn into steel, but Li Yi was starting to worry. He wondered if Gu Qi intended to make him act as a nanny for his son. Li Yi thought that only after taking care of all aspects of Gu Yan's life, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, could he finally withdraw as a real man in Gu Qi's eyes.

"That...Qi Ge's intention..." Li Yi decided to play dumb, he didn't care about this matter anymore, he would just play dumb, and if it didn't work, he would say that he didn't have the ability to do it.

"Second brother, your martial arts skills are impressive. Big brother knows that you learned martial arts from your father when you were young. Over the years, I haven't come across anyone more outstanding than you. After much consideration, I have decided to entrust Gu Yan to you. You must not disappoint me. If Gu Yan doesn't listen, you can beat him mercilessly. Your task is significant because you have to make Gu Yan into an excellent successor."

After Gu Qiyu earnestly finished speaking these words, Li Yi suddenly felt as if a great mountain had pressed down on him. He was at a loss for how to extricate himself.

"Qi Ge, you think too highly of me. In fact, the reason I came back to Lincity this time was just to find my younger brother. I might stay in Lincity for a while. As for Gu Yan's matter..." Li Yi wanted to refuse, but when he saw the longing and pain in Gu Qi's eyes, he unexpectedly agreed to the other party's request.

"I will do my best to help him." Once these words were spoken, they couldn't be taken back. Everything had to be left to fate.

"Then let me thank you in advance. Well, let's eat first. I have the kitchen staff prepare your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs, as well as braised hairtail. Big Brother knows that you like these dishes, so I specifically had them made for you."

At the dining table, Gu Yan picked up a large bowl of meat for Li Yi. Li Yi did not refuse as these were dishes he truly loved to eat, so he finished all of it. Having taken on difficult tasks, Li Yi no longer felt the need to be polite. Gu Yan, who was sitting next to Gu Qi, looked on in shock.

Li Yi, who looked thin, surprisingly had a bigger appetite than most people. He pretended not to see Gu Yan and reached out with his chopsticks to pick up a large piece of braised pork. In this moment, Li Yi only cared about eating, as the dining table was the only place he could indulge himself.
