Villainous son, kneel down, Mom's begging you for a favor.

Chapter 93 Not a Canary

Chapter Ninety-Three: Not a Canary

Xu Rou was warned yesterday, and immediately went back to the Gu family's old house after school.

Seeing the well-behaved Xu Rou, Gu Tingyan found her much more pleasing to the eye.

At dinner time, the three of them ate quietly.

Xu Rou couldn't stand this situation. Yesterday, she had a relaxed meal and chatted with her friends, laughing and joking.

She felt oppressed whenever she sat down at Gu Tingyan's dinner table.

She ate her meal with trepidation, hesitating whether or not to tell him what had happened.

In the end, she decided to speak out.

"Ayan, I want to do an internship at the school and need to move to a dormitory near the school."

As soon as Xu Rou finished speaking, Gu Tingyu's face darkened, and a shadow gathered in his narrow black eyes.

"No."

His swift rejection immediately brought tears of grievance to Xu Rou's eyes.

She gripped her bowl and chopsticks tightly, biting her lower lip hard, and said with dissatisfaction, "Gu Tingyan! I'm not your caged bird! I have my own life too!"

She retorted indignantly: "If you force me to give up everything, would you be willing to give up everything I force you to give up?"

Gu Tingyan frowned and explained, "That's not what I meant. I didn't ask you to give up your life. I'll have the driver take you there from dawn till dusk."

"I don't want to do that!" Xu Rou shook her head and refused.

Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore and her face showed anger.

"Snapped--"

She slammed her chopsticks onto the table, startling the two people who were arguing.

Gu Tingyan was stunned, not expecting Li Yan to be angry.

Li Yan's gaze swept over Gu Tingyan, and she said accusingly, "Tingyan, isn't a driver a person?"

"You treat him like a beast of burden, just to take Xu Rou to work?!"

"In your eyes, is everyone except Xu Rou not considered human?"

Li Yan's angry words also surprised Xu Rou.

She hadn't expected that Li Yan would speak up for her at this crucial moment, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

Gu Tingyan remained silent, gripping his chopsticks tightly, looking down at the food in his eyes, and said with pursed lips, "I understand, then Xu Rou can move it."

The man agreed without any expression, which surprised Xu Rou.

She had only intended to give it a try, but she didn't expect Gu Tingyan to agree so readily.

However, she did not refute it. After finishing dinner, she quickly packed her luggage.

Gu Tingyan finished his dinner without saying a word, then went straight upstairs without going to his study.

Li Yan knew that Gu Tingyan had made this decision with difficulty, and she felt sorry for him.

Later that day, she took the milk to find Gu Tingyan.

Gu Tingyan did not close the door, and Li Yan entered only after receiving permission.

He didn't turn on the light, but sat down right next to the door, his eyes filled with deep sorrow and his appearance dejected.

"Snapped--"

Li Yan turned on the light, illuminating the dark room.

Gu Tingyan's fingertips twitched, and he felt as if light was shining into his otherwise dark heart.

Li Yan squatted down next to him and handed him the milk in her hand: "Ayan, have some."

Gu Tingyan hesitated for a moment, took the milk, but didn't drink it.

Her thick, long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her dark eyes stared unblinkingly at the milk in her hand, without uttering a single word.

Li Yan looked on with heartache, raised her hand to rub Gu Tingyan's head, and said with a gentle smile, "Ayan was great today, Mom is very happy, you did a great job."

Learning to let go wasn't easy for the stubborn Gu Tingyan.

Faced with his mother's familiar praise, Gu Tingyan's eyes welled up with tears.
