"It's autumn, and it's still so hot," Fang Yaru walked into the living room, complaining to Gu Guangxian.
"The mind is calm and cool." Gu Guangxian looked at his wife and smiled: "Is there something wrong with you again?"
"What else can I do?" Fang Yaru said angrily, "Nian Bin and Xiao Wan were very close a while ago, but I haven't heard any news recently. Let's talk about our son, girls don't have face, no matter how much they like it in their hearts, they can't refute the face and go after her, Nian Bin is really busy, so I can't delay my own business!"
"I said you should worry less, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Nian Bin knows it well."
"If he knew, he wouldn't be like this now." Fang Yaru was about to sit down when Xiao Bonian came in from the door and said, "Master, madam, Miss Xia is here."
Fang Yaru was overjoyed when she heard it, and rushed out to greet her, only to see Xia Xiaowan's white car driving in. She slowly went down the steps, and Xia Xiaowan also parked the car and came out. When she saw her, she greeted her with a smile: "Auntie, I'm here again!"
"Welcome, welcome, why, didn't Nian Bin come back with you?"
"I came here by myself and didn't tell him."
"He's busy this time, he didn't even go home, he lives in the apartment," Fang Yaru took Xia Xiaowan's arm and walked into the house: "You sit down first, I'll call Nian Bin, no matter how busy you are, you have to He's back for dinner."
"No need, auntie," Xia Xiaowan said, "Nian Bin is a person who does great things, so it's important to be busy with work."
"It doesn't matter what you are busy with." Fang Yaru teased her and went over to make a phone call.
Gu Nianbin was sweet with his little girl every day, completely forgetting about Xia Xiaowan, when he suddenly received a call from his mother, it was like returning to the ground from the clouds, and he suddenly woke up. She thought that she might develop with Xia Xiaowan, but now, it's impossible. So he thought about it, and decided to go back to eat this meal, and explain it clearly to Xia Xiaowan by the way.
Before going back, he made dinner for Du Xiaoxian, ate a little more with him, and then left after a few words of advice. This was the first time his little girl stayed at home alone, and he was a little worried.
Driving home, everyone was waiting for him. Seeing him coming in, Fang Yaru quickly asked Xiao Bonian to serve dinner, and said to her son: "Nian Bin, why are you so busy that you don't even have time to come back for dinner?"
"Aren't I coming back now?" Gu Nianbin nodded towards Xia Xiaowan as he spoke, as a greeting.
Although Gu Nianbin still looked like a modest gentleman as usual, Xia Xiaowan's intuition suddenly turned a little bit bad. There was a moment when she felt that she was very close to him, so close that she could peek into his heart. At that time, Gu Nianbin looked tired and haggard. She thought he was finally tired and didn't want to wait any longer, so she took off his armor and let her approach him. After that night, they got a little closer, and everything was moving in a good direction.
But suddenly, he stopped contacting her, and now when we meet again, he has changed back to the original Gu Nianbin who always keeps a distance from others. Xia Xiaowan suddenly felt that it was a mistake for her to come tonight, and she should have to wait a little longer.
The atmosphere during the banquet was as good as ever. Xia Xiaowan is a very talkative person. She spent most of the time chatting with Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian. Gu Nianbin was silent all the time. Fang Yaru made her son wink several times, but Gu Nianbin turned a blind eye. I want to jump, but I have no choice. It wasn't until almost the end of the meal that Gu Nianbin interjected a few words, but he seemed extremely polite. Xia Xiaowan sensitively felt that he was alienating herself.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting nonsense. Although Xia Xiaowan was talking to Fang Yaru, she kept glancing at Gu Nianbin from the corner of her eye. She was observing what was wrong with this man. Even though Gu Nianbin concealed it well, she could still see his absent-mindedness from his face. He was sitting here, but his heart was not there. His heart, Xia Xiaowan thought, where is his heart
Fang Yaru suddenly remembered at this time, and said to Xiao Bonian: "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to go to the apartment to clean the young master's house. He is busy with work, and the house may become a mess."
Xiao Bonian remained silent, looking at Gu Nianbin, Gu Nianbin said slowly: "No need, the housekeeper of the apartment has been arranged, and someone has cleaned it."
"That's fine," Fang Yaru said, "I don't have to worry about running around, I just eat...don't eat fast food as soon as you get busy, you still need to supplement your nutrition."
"I know," Gu Nianbin smiled slightly. Nutrition is the issue he is most concerned about now, and he wants to make his little girl grow fat! No nutrition!
Xia Xiaowan then said: "How about I cook some soup for you one day."
"No, no, it's too troublesome. I can cook soup myself," Gu Nianbin refused straight away. It would be a little troublesome for Xia Xiaowan to see Du Xiaoxian. At present, he doesn't want his parents to know that Du Xiaoxian is with him.
Fang Yaru said, "I think Xiaowan's proposal is good. You know how to cook soup, but you don't have time. If it's troublesome, just let Xiaowan cook it at your place."
Gu Nianbin said lightly, "It's not convenient."
Fang Yaru's eyes widened: "Why is it inconvenient? You..."
"Okay," Gu Guangxian interrupted her: "The children will figure it out."
Fang Yaru gave her son a resentful look and said nothing.
Xia Xiaowan felt that the blood in her body was gradually getting colder. Gu Nianbin already understood that, so what else could she say? To sit still is to deceive oneself and others. Xia Xiaowan stood up with a forced smile and said, "It's getting late, I should go too, thank you auntie and uncle for your hospitality!"
"My child, why are you being polite," Fang Yaru said, "Come here when you are free. Auntie will ask the cook to cook something delicious for you."
Gu Nianbin stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Xia Xiaowan glanced at him in surprise, but her heart suddenly sank. He nodded and walked out.
Fang Yaru laughed, looked at the figures in front and behind, and said: "Nian Bin is like this. He treats people well and sometimes badly. I'm afraid he's embarrassed in front of us. The two of us go outside to talk."
Gu Guangxian shook his head, "I don't think so, this Miss Xia is probably not destined to be with our son!"
"Who said that?" Fang Yaru glanced at her husband unwillingly: "Then who is destined to be with Nian Bin? Don't mention Xiao Wan to me. Even if she comes back now, I don't agree with it. Look at her. What happened to it?"
"What is it like?" Gu Guangxian said, "Isn't Nian Bin good-natured? It's no wonder Xiao Wan, it was Nian Bin himself who proposed the five-year agreement. Didn't Xiao Wan still persuade him?"
"We have had a good relationship with the Xia family for so many years, but..." Fang Yaru sighed, "Forget it, I don't bother to care about it anymore, let him go."
Xia Xiaowan walked to her car and smiled at Gu Nianbin: "Go in, I'm leaving."
"Xiaowan," Gu Nianbin called him, "I want to talk to you."
"What are you talking about?" Xia Xiaowan looked up at him: "Your five-year agreement hasn't arrived yet, isn't it a bit early to talk about it now?"
Gu Nianbin was silent for a while, and said, "There won't be a five-year agreement."
He was very calm when he spoke, and the night wind blew the scattered hair on his forehead, revealing a smooth and full forehead. Xia Xiaowan looked into his eyes in astonishment, as if she wanted to find some information she wanted, but she was disappointed, he Her eyes were so calm that she couldn't see anything.
Xia Xiaowan was still struggling in vain: "I know you are busy, when you are free, we will..."
"I'm sorry for giving you the illusion," Gu Nianbin said seriously: "Because you look so much like her, for a moment, I almost... took you as her. I'm sorry, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but you are a good person The girl in my life should find someone better than me. I wish you happiness."
They were obviously sincere words, but Xia Xiaowan felt that they were like poisonous arrows, shooting at her heart, and the pain was as painful as thousands of arrows piercing through her heart. But she could still laugh: "If I'm not wrong, you have someone in your heart, right?"
Gu Nianbin smiled, but did not answer. But the answer was already obvious, Xia Xiaowan didn't ask any more questions, she felt that she had failed, and when Gu Nianbin had a woman by her side, she didn't know at all
Xia Xiaowan tried her best to maintain her own elegance, still with a slight smile on her face, she stretched out her hand to say goodbye to him: "Okay, I wish you well too!"
Gu Nianbin gently shook her hand, then let go, watching her get into the car. Instead of turning around and going back into the house, he got into his car. And honked the horn to signal Xia Xiaowan to go first.
While driving, Xia Xiaowan looked at Gu Nianbin in the rearview mirror. She went out after returning home. Was she going to see that woman
Two cars exited the gate one after the other, one facing left and the other facing right. Xia Xiaowan looked at the taillights of the black car in the right-view mirror and felt a twinge of pain in her heart. Will she never see her again? She no longer has any excuse to see him, does she? The hopes and longings of the past were blown away by the wind on this night.
The tears she had endured for a long time finally fell silently. With dim tears in her eyes, the street lamps, car lights, and neon lights on the street were all drawn into a grotesque net. She was so bound that she couldn't breathe, as if she couldn't escape no matter what, she was terrified in her heart, she had never been so terrified, like a lost child who could never find her home again. She wanted to cry out in despair, but in fact she did, and she heard her own voice shrill and broken.
But then there was a loud noise, which stopped her voice abruptly. Before sinking into the darkness, she heard loud horns one after another, and saw many people running towards her. There was hot liquid flowing down her forehead slowly, but she was actually smiling, because her heart didn't hurt anymore, she could be relieved, Xia Xiaowan thought, she could finally be relieved...
Gu Nianbin turned a corner, looked at the apartment building not far away, he found his home, the window was lit, bright, warm, like Du Xiaoxian's big eyes, waiting for him, the host who came home late.
But the phone rang suddenly, could it be his little girl who couldn't wait to call him? Gu Nianbin took it out with some joy and saw that it was Xia Xiaowan's number.
