A few days after coming down from Zhuanling Temple.

In the past few days, Zhao Hongling had been earnestly telling Gu Chen to take care of himself. Gu Chen was wondering what his beloved wife's intentions were.

But every time he looked at Zhao Hongling, he felt like she was smiling evilly.

As dusk fell, Gu Huaian lit the candles in the study, making the walls warm.

Gu Chen sat in front of the case, holding several pages of tissue paper between his fingers, which were Gu Huaian's homework.

The handwriting is correct, horizontally and vertically, the answers to the questions are comprehensive and well-organized.

When Huai'an was a child, his academic performance was generally good, but he would occasionally make small mistakes, and Gu Chen could always find out some minor mistakes to make him guard against arrogance and impatience.

But in recent years, he has become increasingly unable to find anything wrong with him.

As for the coursework in the past few months, from beginning to end, there is really nothing that can be refuted or a sentence that can be changed.

He put the page down gently, raised his eyes and looked at him. After a while, he said warmly: "Well, today's homework was also very good."

Gu Huaian was overjoyed after hearing this. Every time he received approval from his strict father, he felt that his back straightened a lot.

He has a slim figure, and his face has the handsomeness of a young man, but also has the childishness that has not faded.

Huai'an then said: "Dad, as promised, if there are no omissions in the three months of schoolwork, it will be later."

"In the future, if you do your homework quickly and well, you can go out and play, or read the story books you want to read, but remember not to neglect your business." Gu Chen said in a calm tone.

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up: "Seriously?"

"How often has dad lied to you?"

Gu Huaian was so happy that he almost jumped up, but he suppressed it and bowed politely: "Thank you, father."

He turned around and went out, happily flipping through his private storybook.

Gu Chen watched his son go away, feeling very happy.

He is born with an eye for what he has seen, is calm and measured in matters of business, does things without being slow or hasty, and is outstanding in talent and learning.

This son really looks like him.

But, it's not exactly like him.

The child learned a bit of cunning from Uncle Pei. According to Uncle Pei, "this kid is full of evil", and his daughter Gu Huaining fully recognized this.

He also learned a bit of naughtiness from his mother, Zhao Hongling. When he was not doing business, he loved teasing people.

He is different from him.

He had all the things he had never wanted when he was young: stability, tolerance, protection, and peace of mind.

With a better education, Huai'an's future is limitless.

As for his temperament, Gu Chen thought that compared to his dull appearance, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Huai'an's behavior.

In the back garden of the palace, the dusk was not yet deep.

The vegetation is lush and the branches and leaves are layered on top of each other.

Zhao Hongling stood on the stone steps, her eyes falling on the girl in red in the courtyard.

Gu Huaining had a high ponytail and was neatly dressed.

Holding an iron sword in her hand, she moved like a tiger with every move.

Her swordsmanship is not yet perfect, but her aura, the fierceness in her eyebrows, the decisiveness when she draws the sword, and the sassiness with which she shakes her head when she withdraws her move, already have some shadows of her past.

Zhao Hongling was stunned.

This daughter really looks like her.
