Chapter 172 Necklace

Li Yan opened her eyes, still sleepy, and mumbled, "Xiao Yu, Mom knows."

Gu Tingyu: "!!!"

Gu Tingyu blushed, his neck stiffened, and he stared at Li Yan without any imposing manner.

He said fiercely, "Li Yan, you're not my mom!"

Gu Tingyu's stern denial jolted Li Yan awake instantly.

Noticing that Gu Tingyu was about to explode, Li Yan calmly soothed him: "Okay, let's eat, Xiaoyu."

Li Yan had witnessed Gu Tingyu's tendency to turn his back on people countless times, and she had figured out a way to deal with him effectively.

Sure enough, his temper quickly subsided, and he stopped being sarcastic towards Chao Liyan.

Seeing that she wasn't dwelling on what had just happened, Gu Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief and led Li Yan out of his room.

The dinner table.

Li Yan and Gu Tingyu sat facing each other.

To cover his embarrassment, Gu Tingyu reached for a bowl and served rice to Li Yan, asking, "Is this enough?"

Li Yan's eyes sparkled, and she felt a surge of comfort. She nodded repeatedly, "That's enough, that's enough."

Gu Tingyu placed the rice in front of Li Yan again, and then, with his well-defined knuckles, he picked up a few more dishes for Li Yan with his chopsticks.

He tried to forget the awkwardness from before and kept himself busy, saying to himself, "Try these dishes, I had Auntie make them especially for you."

Li Yan raised her eyes and looked at the sensible Gu Tingyu, a look of emotion flashing in her eyes.

She unconsciously spoke in a mother's tone, "Okay, Xiaoyu is such a good boy."

Gu Tingyu's hand trembled, and he glanced at Li Yan with displeasure, his face stern: "Speak properly!"

Li Yan: "......"

Gu Tingyu is being naughty again and has started to act fiercely.

However, Li Yan didn't care and continued eating. Suddenly, she remembered the necklace and looked at Gu Tingyu.

Her eyes were full of anticipation: "Xiao Yu, there's an auction this afternoon, and one of the items is a necklace that I really like. Can you take me to buy it?"

Gu Tingyu drank a bowl of soup, then, remembering that he didn't have any scenes to film that afternoon, nodded and said, "Of course."

Li Yan had never asked him what he wanted, and since he finally asked her, Gu Tingyu was naturally happy to oblige.

Otherwise, Gu Tingyu would always feel guilty for enjoying Li Yan's kindness to him for no reason.

Seeing that Gu Keyu had agreed, Li Yan smiled brightly.

after eating.

Li Yan packed her things quickly, and Gu Tingyu didn't have to wait long before he saw her walk out of the room.

"Xiao Yu, I'm all better." Li Yan walked over and took Gu Tingyu's arm.

He glanced at her, his brow furrowing, but he didn't push Li Yan away, letting her hold his arm.

The two of them got ready and went to the auction together.

Unable to contain her excitement, Li Yan kept talking to Gu Tingyu on the way.

"Xiao Yu, that necklace is so beautiful. I liked it the moment I saw it."

"..."

Gu Tingyu remained calm, nodding occasionally.

Upon reaching their destination, Gu Tingyu, mindful of his status, had no choice but to have the receptionist lead the two of them to the private room for the auction.

When it was time to auction that necklace, Li Yan excitedly pointed to it and said, "Xiao Yu, that's it!"

Gu Tingyu nodded and calmly began to call out the price.

When the price of the necklace rose from the starting bid of over 700,000 to over 3 million, Li Yan hesitated and decided to give up on the necklace.

But then they heard Gu Tingyu's voice.

"four million."
