Chapter 865 Jade Bracelet
When Yan Jiekuang learned he had a share of the house, his heart beamed with joy, his face lit up with irrepressible delight. After all, for a young man like him who had always longed for his own space, being able to own a place in this courtyard house was truly a joyful thing. He couldn't wait to follow Yan Bugui, his steps so light that he felt like he was walking on clouds.
Yan Bugui's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he naturally understood Yan Jiekuang's subtle thoughts. This kid was simply obsessed with the house, perhaps even planning to use it to build a family and career in the future. However, Yan Bugui thought that having one more person involved would also increase his momentum. After all, in this courtyard, more people mean more confidence. So he kept silent and tacitly allowed Yan Jiekuang to stay with him.
As Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang slowly walked through the middle courtyard, Gu Nan happened to witness this scene. Gu Nan was incredibly astute; at a glance, he roughly guessed the reason. He shook his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. That smile showed both insight into the trivialities of this courtyard and a hint of helplessness. However, he said nothing, simply watching the father and son in silence.
At this time, Ran Qiuye saw Gu Nan looking outside and laughing alone. She couldn't help but walk over curiously, gently took Gu Nan's arm, and asked softly, "Gu Nan, what are you looking at? You're laughing so interestingly." Gu Nan turned his head and looked at Ran Qiuye gently, still with that smile on his face, and said, "I'm not looking at anything. I just feel that our courtyard is about to become lively again."
Ran Qiuye was a little confused after hearing this, not understanding what was going on. However, she was not one to pry into other people's affairs. Besides, what did the turmoil in this courtyard have to do with her? As long as Gu Nan and her daughter Gu Shiwan were safe and happy, she would be satisfied. So, she didn't ask any more questions, just nodded slightly and gave Gu Nan a gentle smile in return.
Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes full of love. He turned and walked to the table nearby, poured Ran Qiuye a cup of hot water, handed it to her, and said with concern: "Qiuye, the weather has been getting colder recently, and I thought of making some new clothes for Shiwan and you. Make a few sets so you can change into them and don't get cold." Ran Qiuye took the cup of water, her heart warmed, and she looked at Gu Nan with a questioning look in her eyes: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Gu Nan knew that he couldn't hide it from Ran Qiuye, so he told Ran Qiuye everything he suspected about the series of events that might have occurred in the courtyard due to the house issue. After listening to it, Ran Qiuye suddenly understood. She looked at Gu Nan, thought for a moment, and then told her what she was thinking.
Gu Nan nodded: "Put it at home to avoid any trouble. After all, we won't change. But Shiwan is growing up day by day. I can't let my daughter wear old clothes. This is something I can't stand."
Ran Qiuye smiled, knowing that Gu Nan was always thinking about the family. Ran Qiuye felt that she was just a child now, and all she had to do was take care of the child every day, and leave the rest to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Ran Qiuye. He said seriously and solemnly, "Qiuye, you must remember that Lu Jia is definitely not a good person. Although I still can't figure out what she's up to, I can sense that she has too many twists and turns in her mind. You have to be more careful."
Ran Qiuye nodded gently, a trace of loneliness and nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Gu Nan, I don't know why, but I suddenly miss Sister Xiao'e a little bit. I don't know if she is doing well now."
Gu Nan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile, trying to dispel the slight sadness in Ran Qiuye's heart: "Don't worry, time flies, it will be over in the blink of an eye. After a while, I will definitely take you and Shiwan, and our family of three will happily go to Xianghe to play and relax, how about it?"
Ran Qiuye heard this and a sweet smile gradually appeared on her face. At this moment, Gu Nan, as if performing a magic trick, carefully took out an exquisite brocade box from behind him. He opened the box and found a warm and translucent jade bracelet lying quietly inside. In the light, it exuded a soft and charming luster.
Gu Nan gently picked up the jade bracelet and looked at Ran Qiuye affectionately: "Qiuye, you have been working hard to take care of the family these days. This is a gift I specially prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Ran Qiuye was a little surprised. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Nan with some confusion in her eyes: "What special day is it? Why are you suddenly preparing a gift for me?"
Gu Nan gently held Ran Qiuye's hand, his tone tinged with emotion: "Look, today is a special day. It was today that we met and started our lifelong journey together. You've been with me all these years. Although our life hasn't been rich and luxurious, we've experienced many ups and downs. You've really suffered."
Ran Qiuye's eyes gradually became moist as she listened to Gu Nan's words, tears welling up in them. You know, she had been incredibly happy with Gu Nan during this time. It was the happiest time of her life, apart from her carefree childhood. She said with a slightly choked voice, "Gu Nan, you're really good to me. I know it all. I've never felt like I've suffered any hardship. Instead, I feel incredibly content."
Gu Nan smiled, his eyes full of love. He gently picked up the jade bracelet and carefully put it on Ran Qiuye, his movements gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a rare treasure. After putting it on, he still held Ran Qiuye's hand and looked at her affectionately: "Qiuye, from now on, let's live our own small lives peacefully. A simple and ordinary life is the real life."
Ran Qiuye naturally understood what Gu Nan meant. She followed Gu Nan's gaze to Gu Shiwan, who was playing nearby. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. Yes, a family together, harmonious and beautiful—that's what home feels like.
In reality, the jade bracelet Gu Nan gave Ran Qiuye was no ordinary item. It was a special reward Gu Nan received after completing a system mission. It possessed a unique function—positioning. Of course, this wasn't the kind of positioning most people understand; it was the kind that only the system could accurately track. Should Ran Qiuye encounter any emergency in the future, the system would be able to instantly pinpoint her location through this jade bracelet, ensuring her safety.
After all, in this era, people's knowledge is limited. When it comes to jade bracelets, most people only pay attention to their beauty and value. They will never suspect that there are hidden mysteries in this small jade bracelet. This is undoubtedly their blind spot in knowledge.
