1688 every day is the new year, and the uncle is worse than the nephew?
â inside gu yuanâs apartment-
duan yiyan caressed the teacup with both hands. the tea was warm. he frowned slightly and glanced at the man opposite him from time to time. the eldest son of the gu family was still talking.
â ... i really didnât expect to see a member of the duan family in this life. iâve liked your father since i was young. he was talented in music, but he changed his career to be a dog ... â
duan yiyan raised his eyebrows.
a dog?
âhaha, what i mean is, being in the media industry, you have to use your mouth!â the eldest son of the gu family laughed awkwardly. he wanted to say that he would be a paparazzi.
â the main thing is that heâs straightforward and unyielding. to be honest, such a personality is very good. really, iâve idolized him since i was young. â
âi didnât expect that one day, i might be in-laws with him.â
duan yiyan laughed awkwardly. the intensity of his words was comparable to his fatherâs, and it reminded him of the fear of being dominated by his father.
every time he didnât want to do anything, a certain someone would always have a bunch of reasons waiting for him, from the prehistoric times of the universe to birth, old age, illness, and death. in the end, he would even be labeled as disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust. he was forced to do business.
â iâll be going home in a few days. during this time, iâll have to trouble you to take care of my little brother. â after all, he was his brother. no matter how talkative he was, he would still protect his younger brother.
â itâs my duty. heâs also an employee of our company and he was injured because of my sister. itâs only natural for him to take care of him. â duan yiyan never went along with what he said and never mentioned gu yuan and duan yinuoâs private affairs.
he was worried that his brother would kick gu yuan to him if they were in a relationship.
â mr. duan, please stay for lunch. iâve bought a lot of ingredients. iâll go prepare them. gu yuan, you accompany him. â the eldest son of the gu family did not give duan yiyan a chance to refuse and went straight into the kitchen.
duan yiyan and gu yuan looked at each other.
âyour brother can cook?â
âsister-in-law, you taught me well.â
âhas he always been like this?â
âmy dadâs the same.â gu yuan said indifferently.
duan yiyan recalled the time when he and duan yinuo were found lying in the same bed. his father was in a rage, but a certain someone was still so calm. at that time, he thought that he must have had a big heart. after all, his father was the one who was furious. now that he thought about it, the gu family and his father must have walked the same path. no wonder he could deal with it so easily. he must have experienced this kind of thing since he was young.
â gu yuan ... â duan yiyan cleared his throat. â what do you think of your father and brotherâs personalities? â you came to the capital not only to look for opportunities, but also to hide from them.â
gu yuan drank the milk in front of him and didnât say anything.
â so iâm curious. since i donât like people with this kind of personality ... â
âwhy do you like my sister?â
âhave you ever thought about how lively your family will be if nuo nuo marries into your family?â
âmaybe every day is like the new year!â
gu yuanâs fingers paused. at this time, someone in the kitchen had already started humming a song, which gave him a headache.
in fact, gu yuan had lived in such an environment since he was young. he did not like his father and brotherâs personalities. however, if he found an obedient and quiet girl, their personalities would match and they would probably be suffocated to death.

duan yinuo accompanied xu jiamu to the capital of yunjin to visit master pudu. the master had taken his medicine and rested for a night, so he was full of energy and could recognize people. when the mother and daughter arrived, he was playing chess with fu chen by the window. he had a kind face, and the sun was shining down, making him look like a celestial being.
his illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he couldnât leave people by his side.
âgood day, master.â duan yinuo had already walked over with a small stool.
âfrom young master duanâs family?â master pudu said tentatively.
âyou have a good memory.â no one mentioned what happened last night. he couldnât remember clearly, so there was no need to mention it again and make him worried.
â you look like your father, and you smile exactly the same. when you and your brother were born, you even asked me to test your handwriting after you named your brother. â he smiled kindly.
âis that so?â duan yinuo was not very familiar with him. she only knew that he was the abbot of a temple, and she respected him from the bottom of her heart.
â i told you that young master duan is a lucky man with a son and a daughter. you and your brotherâs birth dates are not bad. youâll be rich and worry-free for the rest of your life. â
xu jiamu was standing not far away, listening to master puduâs words while asking song fengwan in a low voice why fu yu and huaisheng were not here.
â huaisheng has gone to school, and xiaoyu has to go to the hotel to deal with the things left behind last night. yesterday was too much, and we didnât even pay the hotel for the wedding banquet. â song fengwan chuckled.
