Chapter 163 The Moon Overhead

He felt something was wrong and hesitated to move. Gu Jinluo pulled him over and said, "Take a good picture."

The photographer looked at the two people in the camera, leaned his head out and said, "Stand closer, yes, yes, yes, put your hands on your shoulders, yes, yes, yes, look into the camera." Then he pressed the shutter.

Ye Fan wore a custom-made white shirt and a slim navy vest, while Gu Jinluo wore a gray-white cheongsam embroidered with bamboo leaves, green edging, and a string of pearls hanging on the buttons. The two of them looked like a beautiful love story under the setting.

After taking the photos, Ye Fan took her home, and the two walked on the street, talking and laughing.

"Have you ever seen the stars at night?" Somehow, Ye Fan felt that he had endless things to talk about when he was with her.

"I've seen it abroad. My father and brother never let me go out alone, let alone at night."

"I'll take you to the river at night. There's the moon and the stars there, it's very beautiful."

"Really? But if Aunt Liu knew, she would definitely not let me go out."

"It's okay. I'll take you out secretly. Which floor do you live on?"

"Third floor, can you climb stairs?"

"I'm downstairs meowing like a cat, you climb down."

"No, I can't."

"I'll meet you downstairs."

"Then you must come." She said expectantly downstairs.

"must."

After getting a positive answer, she turned and went upstairs, quietly opened the door, and saw Aunt Liu sitting in the living room with a gloomy face, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

She closed the door carefully, fearing that if she made a loud noise, Aunt Liu would lose control of her anger. She stood upright by the door and stammered, "Aunt Liu."

"Miss, what time is it? Why did you come back just now? Do you know how anxious I am? I even called the City Hall." Aunt Liu helped her sit down at the dining table, feeling worried but trying to suppress her anger.

"City Hall? Doesn't that mean my brother knows about it too?" She looked at the food on the table and had no appetite. Aunt Liu took the food to the kitchen to heat it up one by one.

"Of course sir knows, otherwise I can't afford if anything happens." Aunt Liu said in the kitchen.

"Don't feel hot. I have no appetite." She knew that even though she was thousands of miles away, she could not escape the control of her family. She went back to her room, closed the door and took a nap.

At night, the wonton shop owner came to the gate of Ye's house and told the guard that he wanted to see Ye Fan. The guard scolded: "Do you think you can just meet Master Ye casually?"

"General, don't get me wrong. He ate two bowls of wontons here during the day and dropped his handkerchief. I came here to return it to him." The boss handed over the folded handkerchief tremblingly.

"Put it here, I'll take it in later." The guard never looked at the old man in front of him from beginning to end.

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay," and put the handkerchief on the guard's desk.

The nanny took the handkerchief handed to her by the guard and knocked on the door of the study. Ye Fan was discussing reception matters with his third uncle who was the secretary general.

"Third Master, Young Master, the guard at the door brought a handkerchief, saying that Young Master dropped it while eating wontons on the street during the day." The nanny stood at the door, holding the handkerchief with lipstick marks in both hands.

Ye Fan quickly stood up, put the handkerchief in his pocket, and said to the nanny: "Got it, go down."

Ye Liangyun saw his panic, patted the documents in his hand, and warned: "It's understandable for you to mess with a young girl at your age, but you can't leave any trouble behind."

"My uncle is right." He replied, bowing while pinching the handkerchief in his pocket.

"The security of the dance party the day after tomorrow must be in place. It's too late today, so you should have a good rest." Ye Liangyun saw that he was absent-minded and thought that he was probably tired from the past few days, so he stopped making things difficult for him.

After seeing his uncle off, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, looked at the lipstick mark on it, and smiled embarrassedly.

Looking at the clock, it's already past eleven, time to sneak out and look at the stars.

When they arrived downstairs of the apartment building, he imitated the cat's meow that he had learned for a long time. Gu Jinluo opened the curtains and saw the people downstairs. She excitedly greeted him. When she saw his response, she put her index finger to her mouth and made a "hush" gesture.

I drew the curtains and opened the door. The lights in the living room were off, but Aunt Liu's door was open and she had already gone to bed.

She picked up her shoes, walked out of the living room barefoot and opened the door. For this outing, she specially put on a indigo-colored long-sleeved cheongsam and a shawl of the same color.

When she closed the door, the bracelet hit the door, making a sound, which scared her so much that she ran down the stairs. Aunt Liu in the room turned over and continued to sleep.

"Let's go." She threw her shoes on the ground and wanted to bend down to put them on, but then she remembered that the soles of her feet were dirty, so she lifted her feet to check. Ye Fan squatted down, took out a handkerchief, wiped her feet clean, and put on her shoes.

She held his shoulders and whispered thanks.

After putting on their shoes, the two ran from the alley to the street, crossed the road, and ran to the river. Ye Fan jumped onto the boat, reached out his hand to carry her onto the boat, picked up the oar, and rowed into the river.

The clear moonlight cast its shadow on the river surface. Green algae floated under the gurgling water. Occasionally, gravel rolled under the boat's deck, making noises.

The shore is lined with green tiles and red bricks, inlaid with quaint wooden windows. Occasionally, there is a dim light in the house, and the sound of an old man's weak cough can be heard.

"So beautiful." She sat on the bow of the boat, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. This was a night view she could never imagine. If this scene happened in the south of the Yangtze River, it might be even more beautiful.

"Every time I feel depressed, I come here." The boat gradually moved with the water. He put down the oars and sat next to her.

"You are the most favored young master of the Ye family, how can you be depressed?"

"So you also know the Ye family."

"My brother said that Dad has some dealings with your third uncle, so he is not a stranger to your family."

"Your family is really powerful and knows everything." Today in the photo studio, he finally got to know the Gu family's abilities.

"Yes, every move is being watched by people. I can only look at the stars and the moon tonight, but I may be imprisoned at home tomorrow." She sighed. All freedom has already been priced.

"My daughter, it's for your own good to keep a closer eye on her."

"What about you? You took me to see the stars and the moon because of my identity as the daughter of the Gu family, right?"

The bright moonlight shone on her face, bringing out the sadness and unwillingness in her eyes.

"If you were not the daughter of the Gu family, I wouldn't have to meet you so secretly. I could just take you in and out of the Ye family openly."

Hearing him say that, she smiled disdainfully. Yes, if she was not the daughter of the Gu family, she could just be like those female students, holding signs and walking on the street, shouting: I want freedom! I want revolution! Overthrow the old system!

"You are just as I thought, a playboy from a noble family." She stood up, took off her shoes, and tried to put her feet into the water. The boat hit the dark rocks at the bottom of the river and began to shake.

She screamed and subconsciously wanted to grab something. Ye Fan reached out and held her in his arms, standing firm, and said, "Be careful!"

The soft hair fluttered in the wind, scratching his cheek like little claws. He did not dodge, and his Adam's apple sank.

He was tall and broad, bringing a strong sense of security. Under the moonlight, two young and passionate bodies were pressed tightly together, and in their chests, two hearts were beating violently, thumping against each other.

Gu Jinluo's face instantly turned red. She struggled tenderly and cursed in a low voice, "Lecher."

He let go of the person in his arms, coughed twice and said, "There are many hidden reefs in the river. I was afraid you would fall in."

After a pause, he asked again, "Since I am a pervert, why did you come out with me?"

"Because I have never seen such a sight before." She put her feet into the water and looked at the moon in the sky. The water in the river was a little cold, stimulating her skin and making her sober. The green algae in the water tickled her soles from time to time, making her laugh.

Time passed, and it was time for them to go back and send the girl back to the apartment. He stood downstairs, watching the lights upstairs light up, and secretly confirmed in his heart that she was the one for him in this life.

When she got up in the morning, Aunt Liu had already prepared breakfast. After breakfast, she carried her zither on her back, crossed the street, and returned to the theater alone. Yaoer came up and said, "I heard from Ji Huai that your father is coming?"

"This young General Yang will tell you everything. He can come if he wants to. Most of it has nothing to do with me."

"That's your father, how can he be unrelated?" Yao'er was holding Pipa, and seeing the tape on her hand, she added, "Ah, how did you hurt your hand?"

"It's okay. Didn't he tell you that he would take you to the dance tomorrow night?" She tuned the piano, and it still hurt when she touched the wound.
