Near the end of the year, the first snow fell earlier than in previous years, and there was a layer of white frost everywhere outside, and the temperature was relatively cold.
Gu Qingwu returned to the old house after finishing the movie red carpet festival. The pure black evening dress almost wrapped her up, showing her slim and graceful figure, and her exposed shoulders were dazzlingly white. She rushed back without changing her clothes, and just took off her high heels when she entered the door.
In the bedroom, no matter whether she is filming or attending to other events outside, as long as she is not home, a warm orange night light will be on.
This is a habit that He Sui Chen has maintained for many years, and it has not changed even though Xiao Li'er has grown to be seven years old.
Gu Qingwu put down her warm down jacket and looked at the man sleeping on the bed. The halo silently sprinkled under his closed crow-feather eyelashes, blurring the lines of his handsome face. However, no matter how many times she looked at him, it seemed that time had been kind to He Sui Chen.
He was wearing pearl white pajamas and trousers, looking as clean as the boy in the temple back then.
Gu Qingwu fell in love with him the first time she saw him. She walked over quietly, bent down, and was about to touch him with her fingertips, but He Suichen opened his eyes first, and when he saw her, he smiled faintly: "Go home..."
Just the simple words "go home" made Gu Qingwu feel indescribably at ease. She lifted the hem of her dress and went to bed, snuggling into his arms: "I want my brother to hold me."
When she acts coquettishly, she is as soft as a little carp, and doesn't look like the bright and charming female star outside at all.
He Sui Chen easily put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms. At the same time, his long, bony fingers untied Gu Qingwu's belt and slowly loosened her dress, gradually revealing her beautiful butterfly bones. The heating in the room was turned on high, so it was not cold. Her skin was frozen outside, so she needed his palms to cover it for a while.
Gu Qingwu would not be able to completely relax until she was back in He Suichen's arms. She let him take off her luxurious evening gown like taking off a child's clothes, then stuffed her into the quilt, lowered his head, and pressed his thin lips against her delicate forehead: "Will you be tired walking the red carpet tonight?"
After all, they have been married for many years, and Gu Qingwu heard the hint in his tone.
The white fingertips cooperated and lifted up to unbutton two buttons of the man's pajamas. They were not in a hurry to get straight to the point, but were gentle for a while, said a word, and then touched each other's lips.
"It's the end of the year... Has Xiaoli been obedient recently?"
"She is getting along better and better with Xie Lanshen's twins. Yesterday, she went to the pool with the younger one to step on the ice and got soaked. She was afraid of being scolded, so she said she had taken cold medicine first."
Gu Qingwu: “…”
He Suichen laughed softly, bit her ear and asked, "Were you like this when you were a kid?"
Gu Qingwu blinked her eyes and denied it, saying, "I was very quiet when I was little, brother, please don't wrongly accuse me."
He Suichen's thin lips moved down along her earlobe, touching the soft, snow-white side of her neck, and his voice flowed out from between his lips and teeth in a low, hoarse voice: "Xiao Li'er is looking more and more like you now, making me reluctant to even speak a little harshly."
Gu Qingwu knew that he had worked hard to educate his daughter. No one would have thought that the girl who was too lazy to even say a word when she was young would start to be as playful and wild as she was when she was a child after growing up a little. She would not be quiet for more than three days and would definitely cause trouble.
"… How about sending it to my mom's place to live for a while?"
"Are you sure?"
Gu Qingwu thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's let Xiaoli'er run wild enough, she should be able to calm down a bit... Besides, if you lock her up at home, the twins from the Xie family will come to play with her every now and then... and you can't refuse them."
He Sui Chen welcomed Xie Lanshen’s eldest son, but the younger son was thick-skinned and took the initiative to bring himself along.
The couple happily decided to send Xiaoli'er to Fu Wanwan to take care of her for a while. Soon they stopped discussing this topic and continued what they were doing. The more they kissed, the deeper their kiss became.
The quilt on the bed was very soft. My body sank into it inch by inch. I could feel the heat spreading from my back and seeping out. My white fingers curled up and gripped the pillow, trembling.
Gu Qingwu hadn't been intimate with him for a while, and she couldn't stand it. The corners of her eyes began to turn red.
Her breathing was intermittent, as if she was short of oxygen. She didn't know how much time had passed until He Suichen slowly stopped, held her face with his hands, and kissed her heavily: "Are you tired?"
Gu Qingwu's forehead was burned by his warm breath, her eyelashes trembled, and she spoke weakly: "I want to take a shower, but I also want to sleep."
He Sui Chen chuckled, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Without wearing any clothes, he bent over and carried her out naked, then walked towards the bathroom.
Gu Qingwu was able to completely relax and give herself to this man. While taking a shower, she closed her beautiful eyes and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The dresses and clothes that were scattered all over the floor last night were all picked up, with clean skirts and coats placed next to them.
And, Xiaoli, who was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, lay beside the bed and watched her sleep. When he saw her mother wake up, he smiled and said, "Hi, my dear mother, good morning."
"Good morning, my little baby." Gu Qingwu kissed Xiaoli'er's face, lay down for a few seconds, and slowly sat up while covering himself with the quilt.
Last night, she was so exhausted that her bones were almost broken. Her waist was aching and she was about to put on the bathrobe next to her when Xiaolier seemed to have seen something and pointed at her collarbone: "Mom, you are hurt."
Gu Qingwu lowered her eyelashes and saw that the skin looked like a bright rose petal that had been pinched off, with each mark clearly imprinted on it.
She blocked it directly and said to Xiaolier gently: "Mom was bitten by a mosquito last night. Don't tell anyone."
Little Li'er took a deep breath and actually believed it: "Oh my god, this is so scary, the mosquitoes in our house are too big."
Gu Qingwu could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes."
She didn't expect that the lie she made up on the spur of the moment would be spread everywhere by Xiao Li'er the next day. She told everyone she met, "There is a mosquito as big as a little monster in my house. It bites people very well. It bit my mother and left big red marks on her."
When Gu Qingwu heard this, almost the entire old house, including the Xie family, had heard it.
Little Lier didn't understand why the adults were laughing silently. He held the doll, tilted his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. He stubbornly said, "Anyway, it can bite people..."
Because of this.
Gu Qingwu decided to send Xiaoli'er to Licheng in advance and send him away overnight.
Xiao Li'er didn't object to going to her grandmother's house to play. She took the initiative to pack her three large suitcases and got into the car with an incredibly happy face. When Shen Yu learned that she was going to Licheng, he rushed over.
He also wanted to go, and he firmly believed that if Xiaoli'er was there, Fu Wanwan would not drive him away.
…
It was already past six in the evening when we arrived in Licheng.
Fu Wanwan was still standing outside the door of the small house in her lavender knitted skirt, quietly waiting for a few cars to slowly stop in front of her. When the car doors opened, Xiao Lier ran down first. When he saw her, he screamed excitedly, "Beautiful grandma!"
Fu Wanwan picked up the girl who had grown up a lot, and there was a smile in her cold eyes.
Little Li'er is naturally particularly affectionate to his grandmother. He hugs her neck and acts coquettishly, saying "I miss you so much, do you miss me" all the time.
Even Fu Wanwan couldn't stand being so coquettish and said, "Grandma misses you very much."
The secretary successfully escorted the young master to his destination. After getting out of the car and saying hello, he was ready to leave. At this moment, Shen Yu appeared with a suitcase, straightened his tie, and stared at Fu Wanwan with affection, his eyes that were sharp in the workplace: "Wanwan."
When Fu Wanwan saw him, there was no welcoming smile on her cold face: "I didn't prepare a room for you."
"It's okay... I can share a room with your driver."
A CEO of a listed company in the entertainment industry had to share a room with the driver when he came to the countryside. If anyone knew about this, it would be shocking. However, Shen Yu did not feel wronged at all. He even turned around and moved all of Xiaoli'er's suitcases into the house.
Fu Wanwan almost ignored his attempts to court her, having made it clear before that she would not go back.
But Shen Yu is born with a mean character, willing to put his face on the line and strive to gain a foothold here.
After Xiao Li'er settled down with Fu Wanwan, He Sui Chen and Gu Qingwu in Sicheng became free. When they had nothing to do, they would stay in the study. He would sit on a chair and read a book, while she would lie on his knees and flip through the script.
This kind of life lasted for about half a month. One morning after a snowstorm, He Sui Chen asked the housekeeper to move a chaise longue to the courtyard. He was using a white towel to carefully wipe Gu Qingwu's freshly washed long hair when the cell phone next to him rang.
It was Fu Wanwan who opened it, and the first thing she asked was, "Is the He family bankrupt?"
Gu Qingwu: "...Mom, no."
In just three minutes, Fu Wanwan told the story of Xiao Li'er's half-month stay in the countryside.
The cause of the incident was that Xiao Lier woke up at six o'clock every day, ran to the driver's room, and forced Shen Yu to order a wake-up service.
For the first time, Shen Yu felt that his body was not as strong as in previous years. Who could bear the cold winter, without air conditioning or heating, and being pulled out of bed by a little girl at six o'clock every morning
This wake-up service requires payment, and Xiaoli'er's price has increased from one yuan to one hundred yuan.
Shen Yu directly gave her one thousand yuan and begged her not to wake him up for ten days.
But Xiaolier has always been honest in doing business, so not only did he come, he also came an hour earlier, so he came to shout at five in the morning.
Later.
Shen Yu wanted her to help with some work, but Xiaoli said without even looking up: "A girl as cute as me... only money can summon me."
Shen Yu had no choice but to accept his fate and pay out of his own pocket to continue giving her money.
If that was the case, Fu Wanwan would have turned a blind eye to it. The key point was that the suitcase that Xiaolier brought was half filled with Gu Qingwu's autographed photos. She would find the seller every day when she went for a walk on the street.
She saved all the money she earned in her doll piggy bank, and yesterday she took out a portion of it to give to Fu Wanwan as food expenses for her living at her grandmother's house.
Fu Wanwan was almost furious. She dragged Xiao Li'er to find those small sellers one by one, asking for Gu Qingwu's autograph back, and then returning all the money.
Xiao Li'er was scolded and punished by his grandmother to stand in the living room on the first floor and reflect on his mistakes.
After Fu Wanwan finished teaching the younger one a lesson, she called to teach the older one a lesson.
Gu Qingwu was a little surprised. After all, she hadn’t signed an autograph for Xiaolier for a long time. Where did those autographed photos come from
After she hung up the phone and asked, she found out that Xiao Li'er had secretly sought sweet words from Luo Yuan and coaxed him into giving her hundreds of photos.
Gu Qingwu turned around and said to He Suichen, "Brother, our daughter has grown up... Will she become a profiteer?"
He Suichen held her on his knees, and gently combed Gu Qingwu's thick black hair with his long, bony fingers. He said in a gentle tone, "If she is really interested in business, it is her fate."
Gu Qingwu was very confused, frowned and thought for a long time: "Logically speaking... my husband and I are not money-grubbers. I work hard in filming not to make a lot of money, and you are not greedy for power. Why is Xiaoli'er the exact opposite of us?"
If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoli'er's face looked so much like hers, Gu Qingwu would have suspected that the hospital had reported the wrong child.
He Suichen was also confused by this, and after thinking for a few seconds, he smiled faintly: "Maybe he looks like an ancestor of the He family."
Gu Qingwu patted his shoulder lightly with amusement and laughed along, "My clan leader... how can you be so disrespectful?"
In Licheng, at the same time, Xiaoli'er was still being punished to stand, her little back was very straight, her long black hair scattered along her shoulders, she lowered her head slightly, revealing only half of her delicate and beautiful profile, and she pursed her lips, looking exactly like Gu Qingwu when she was a child.
Shen Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: "Time flies by so fast... I think when Qing Wu was a kid and was punished by you for being naughty, he was standing in the same position, with his head down but his back straight."
Fu Wanwan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of shrimp and egg custard. When she saw Xiaoli'er's back, she was lost in thought for a while. It seemed that through her, she saw her daughter back then. After being scolded, she stood in front of the wall, refusing to eat or drink, and was stubborn.
After a few seconds, the girl who was punished to stand turned her head secretly. Perhaps she saw her grandmother holding food in her hands, and smiled sweetly, and called out: "Grandma..."
This milky voice pulled Fu Wanwan back to reality from her memories, and her eyes gradually regained clarity.
Looking at Xiaoli'er's face that resembled Gu Qingwu, he waved at her as if to make up for some kind of loss in his heart, unconsciously using the tenderness and love that he had never given to Gu Qingwu back then: "Come... come here."
