Chapter 174 The Woman in My Dream
"grandfather."
Gu Qianqiu glanced at Old Master Lu, then looked up at the upstairs.
She naturally heard the commotion upstairs.
Old Master Lu hummed in agreement. He glanced at the pastries Gu Qianqiu was holding, his expression not particularly amiable, but still gentler than before. "Did you make all of these yourself?"
Gu Qianqiu said shyly, "I heard that Ahuai likes mung bean cake and osmanthus cake, so I tried to make some myself."
Old Master Lu stared at her, his gaze sharpening.
Two seconds later, he said in a calm tone, "You've worked hard, but these things can be left to the servants. You don't need to make a fuss about it, after all, you're pregnant."
Gu Qianqiu said sincerely, "What you do yourself is always different."
Old Lu looked at her without saying a word.
To be honest, he was fully aware of Gu Qianqiu's hidden ulterior motives.
The Lu family is large and powerful enough not to be unable to support a single woman. However, he still disliked Gu Qianqiu's seemingly clever but actually low-level methods.
Lu Huai knew about Gu Qianqiu's meticulous care for her grandson ever since he became disabled.
Although he was probably just pretending, he did have less prejudice against Gu Qianqiu.
I thought to myself, I'll just give them more money when the baby is born.
Gu Qianqiu wasn't stupid; she could naturally sense the subtle shift in Old Master Lu's attitude towards her.
But these changes were far from enough for her.
Although she is currently staying with the Lu family, she has not yet officially married into the wealthy family and become Lu Huai's wife.
Instead of wasting time trying to gain Old Master Lu's approval, it would be better to address the root cause directly with Lu Huai.
After all, the baby in her belly won't be long from now.
In a corner where Old Master Lu couldn't see, a dark glint flashed in Gu Qianqiu's eyes.

"Yan Lin, what do you mean by this?" In the brightly lit, decadent private room, Yan Lan stared sharply at Yan Lin, who was smoking diagonally across from her.
Yan Lin flicked the cigarette ash off his knees and said in a dismissive tone, "Miss Yan Lan, I remember there is no love between us, only interests. I can consider giving you everything else, but you cannot touch Yan Ting."
The implication is that with him around, Yanlan's illness will never allow her to undergo a heart transplant.
This is undoubtedly taking Yanlan's life.
Yan Lan's gaze swept over Yan Lin's beautiful face repeatedly. After a while, she chuckled and said, "Since our Master Lin has spoken, I naturally wouldn't dare to touch her again."
Upon hearing this, Yan Lin's meaningful gaze swept over Yan Lan.
If he didn't have memories of his past life, he might have actually believed this woman's nonsense.
But in reality, this woman was far more ruthless than he had imagined.
Thinking of Yan Ting, who had risked her life to burn him to death in her previous life, Yan Lin's eyes slightly lifted, but the corners of her lips drooped slightly, her expression a mixture of crying and laughing.
Yan Lan felt a slight sense of dread when she saw Yan Lin's expression.
She couldn't understand the man with the strange aura in front of her anymore.
Just then, a voice rang out from the doorway: "Master He."
Yanlan looked up and saw that He Junzhi had arrived.
She wasn't surprised at all by his arrival.
After all, Yan Lin and He Junzhi were in cahoots.
Yan Lin raised an eyebrow: "You're here?"
He Junzhi did not respond, but instead chose a seat and sat down. He looked at the people opposite him who were clinking glasses and chatting animatedly, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
He looked even more formidable than Yan Lin standing beside him.
Yan Lin didn't mind He Junzhi's impoliteness, but instead took out a few cigars and threw them at the other person's location.
He Junzhi lifted his eyelids and subconsciously caught the cigar.
"What? Are you on your period?" Yan Lin asked.
He Junzhi lit a cigar, biting it between his lips, and said, "I had a strange dream."
Upon hearing this, Yan Lin paused, "A dream? What kind of dream is making you so agitated?"
He Junzhi remained silent.
These past few days, he has been having recurring dreams of scenes he has never experienced.
There is a common woman in all the pictures.
He could never clearly see the woman's face, only remembering two cinnabar moles on her eyebrows and eyes.
Yan Lan looked at He Junzhi, who was lost in thought, and suddenly said, "Master He, I heard that Master Lin said your experiment has been a great success."
He Junzhi snapped out of his daze and glanced at Yan Lan with a cool expression: "What is it?"
Yan Lan could naturally see the impatience in He Junzhi's eyes, but instead of being annoyed, she said generously, "I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see your experimental results, Master He."
Looking at the gentle and pretty Yan Lan, He Junzhi narrowed his eyes.
He Junzhi had only met Yan Lan three times; this was the fourth time.
He felt an instinctive aversion to Yanlan the first time he saw her.
It was only because he sensed a trace of kinship on Yan Lan.

Vertical sun.
During the meal, Yan Nan casually inquired of Yan Ting, who was standing nearby, "What did you do when you went out the other day?"
Without pausing, Yan Ting replied, "Oh, I was just feeling down that day and went out for a walk to clear my head. What's wrong?" As she spoke, she turned to look at Yan Nan, "Does brother think I did something bad outside?"
“How would we know if you’ve been secretly doing bad things?” It was Li Qian who spoke.
She had been unable to figure out what Yanting was up to lately, and why he had suddenly become so close to them.
You know, the image of Yanting pressing her down in the pool is still vivid in my mind.
Yanting wiped the grease off his lips and smiled slightly: "Mother, you're wronging me. I've always followed moral principles and it's impossible for me to break the law."
"..."
Li Qian fell silent.
Yan Nan also fell silent.
If Yanting had said this a few years ago, Li Qian might have believed it, but now she wouldn't believe a single word, not even the punctuation.
After finishing the meal, Yanting suddenly said, "Brother, I need to go to Yanxu's house."
Before Yan Nan could speak, Li Qian frowned and asked, "What are you doing at Mr. Xu's house?"
Yanting: "Of course I want to meet Miss Yanlan."
"?"
Are you sick?
Li Qian questioned, "Don't you dislike Lanlan?"
"I like it now."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian's facial features distorted slightly.
She thought this brat was simply unreasonable.
At this moment, Yan Nan finally spoke up, "Okay." He didn't ask why the other person suddenly wanted to go to Yan Xu's house, but instead inquired, "Do you need me to come with you?"
Yanting: "Yes, it is necessary."
Seeing this, Li Qian said without hesitation, "I'll go with you too."
"Mother can rest at home."
"No, I have to go."
Li Qian was mainly worried that her daughter Yanlan would be bullied by Yanting.

The villa where Yanxu's family of four lived was built on Chengnan Street.
It takes about half an hour to get to Chengnan Street by car.
Yan Xu found Yan Nan's sudden visit somewhat strange.
But when he saw Yan Ting coming in with Yan Nan, his expression turned quite unpleasant.
At this moment, Yan Xiang came down from the second floor carrying a basketball. When he saw Yan Ting in the living room, he shouted without thinking, "What are you doing in our house, you shameless woman?"
Before Yanting could react, the man on the stairs raised a basketball and slammed it down on her.
Yan Nan was about to step forward to stop him, but for some reason, his movements paused for a moment.
