Oh, so that’s how it is.
No wonder there’s no aura of a mistress here.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded in understanding. She originally wanted to ask Fang Liang why he never got married, but this topic was personal and inappropriate to voice.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qing continued to show off, "Don’t be fooled by my big brother’s appearance. Even now, there’s still a girl who wants to marry him willingly..."
Gu Qiaoqiao blurted out, "Then why doesn’t he agree?"
The difference between being proactive and passive is notable; at the very least, there’s love involved.
Furthermore, it’s normal for soone like Fang Liang to have a girl like him.
"My big brother said he cannot bring trouble to a good girl." Fang Qing replied helplessly.
"Uncle Fang is just too worried." Gu Muran, who hadn’t spoken, concluded.
"Yes, although he appears gentle and amiable, his thoughts are quite heavy." Fang Qing’s voice held a sigh.
Qin Yize spoke calmly, "Everyone has their own thoughts, you can’t force these things."
Fang Qing nodded in agreent, "Yes, my third uncle couldn’t understand at first, but after my dad talked so sense into him, he ca around. He used to push him constantly, but this topic hasn’t been ntioned in years."
By now, it was already past nine in the morning, and the sun was sowhat scorching.
For so reason, the temperature here was one or two degrees higher than where the Gu Family lived.
Perhaps it was because of the city center’s location.
However, under the pavilion, it was very cool, perhaps because of the pond, and there’s another pond under the rockery.
Moreover, many bamboo plants were growing here, making it cooler than when they were in the courtyard earlier.
Gu Qiaoqiao lifted her eyes to look at the Moon Gate not far away, wondering what those two were talking about.
By this ti, Fang Liang had already taken Xiao Wen into his study, then pointed to the small glass cabinet on top and said to her, "Miss Xiao Wen, I found this on the floor of the room where you spent the night. I thought it was an ordinary small stone at first, but Auntie Wu from the community committee said the room was cleaned very thoroughly and no stone should be on the floor. She speculated it was sothing you brought, so I took it back."
After many events, I thought this stone had been lost, but to my surprise, it was found in a small cabinet, and after settling everything down, I placed it here..."
Xiao Wen reached out, took the small glass cabinet down.
It was square and not very large.
There was an opening on it, and Xiao Wen took the stone out, looked at Fang Liang, and said softly, "This is mine. I didn’t expect you to pick it up and even keep it until now."
Yes, stones like this are so ordinary that anyone who sees it would throw it away, but thankfully Fang Liang saw it then.
Otherwise, it would have been swept out of the house by the aunties.
"It really is yours."
"Hmm, but why didn’t you throw away such an ordinary stone, and even kept it here?" Xiao Wen asked curiously.
"It was just a whim, nothing more." Fang Liang said leisurely.
Xiao Wen’s gaze settled on the stone.
Although this stone was mundane, it had its extraordinary features, sothing Fang Liang might never realize.
It could purify the air within a ten-ter radius.
When you are within this range, everything gets purified.
Including oneself.
Although the stone doesn’t have miraculous functions like winter warmth and sumr coolness, it can silently adjust your mindset.
Xiao Wen glanced at Fang Liang.
This person, even with his broken body, lived a carefree life like a cloud and crane.
This stone, to so extent, did exert so influence, but of course, the main reason was Fang Liang’s exceptional broad-mindedness and deanor.
However, she had grown accustod to living without the stone over the years and had replaced it with another item. Besides, she didn’t know why, but at this mont, Xiao Wen felt that the small black stone had created a special atmosphere with this study.
In other words, the small stone was most suited to remain in this study.
Xiao Wen put the stone back into the small glass cabinet, closed the lid, then placed it on the Duobao Pavilion, and Fang Liang looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Wen leaned against the Duobao Pavilion, looked down at Fang Liang sitting in his wheelchair, and said word by word, "This stone may seem ordinary, but it’s not. Keep it well, it’ll only be beneficial to you."
At this mont, Xiao Wen put away her previously cheerful deanor, her expression serious, because she worried that soday in the future, Fang Liang might take the stone away, disrupting the room’s field.
That would be a great loss for Fang Liang.
Fang Liang glanced at Xiao Wen in surprise, then turned his gaze to the small stone, his expression sowhat pensive, but he slowly curled his lips into a smile, saying lightly, "Rumor has it that the Gu Family successor is surrounded by capable people."
"Oh, who did you hear that from?" Xiao Wen asked in surprise.
"Hehe..." Fang Liang chuckled softly, not answering Xiao Wen’s question but just staring intently at her, with a hint of distress in his expression.
Such an expression wasn’t supposed to appear on a person like Fang Liang, which left Xiao Wen looking at him in surprise as well.
After a mont, Fang Liang’s face seed a little embarrassed, and the base of his ears turned red.
He wanted to say sothing but was hesitant.
Xiao Wen couldn’t help but ask Fang Liang, "Do you have sothing you want to tell ?"
The hands Fang Liang placed on the wheelchair’s armrest were now clasped together.
His long fingers were as if carved from white jade.
Maybe it was because of spending years indoors, his hands didn’t match his age at all.
At this mont, his hands were slightly entwined together.
The indoor air fell into a peculiar silence.
Finally, Fang Liang smiled and said, "At my age, it’s childish and ridiculous to be bothered by this, but when I saw you back then, I was just twenty, full of curiosity about everything. You said you lived in a cave, I was half-convinced.
Later, after you all left, I went to Erdao Mountain again and found that cave. There, I found signs that people had indeed lived there..."
"Ah, you actually found the cave?"
Xiao Wen looked at Fang Liang in surprise, slightly scrutinizing.
She rembered her father had set up a barrier at that cave. Without being part of the Mystic Sect, ordinary people wouldn’t even realize there was a cave, let alone enter it.
Perhaps he didn’t enter the cave where she and her father had lived for six years.
Fang Liang nodded.
Xiao Wen asked casually, "What does this cave you ntioned look like?"
