Not far away, Huo Huaijin had been blocked by several bosses before and had no time to go to Gu Nian. This time, as soon as he got free, he had a clear view of their interaction.
The woman seemed to have thorns all over her body, cold and heartless.
Although the man is not considered deserted, he is not very warm either.
Both of them looked bad.
But the little girl in the middle pulled them, and there was an inexplicable feeling of harmony.
It's like...a family.
Thinking of this word, Huo Huaijin's heart felt sour.
A family?
Nian Nian and Lu Shiqian had divorced five years ago, and that man had done so many things to hurt Nian Nian. With her character, she would never be with him again.
But what that man is thinking now...
Huo Huaijin frowned and walked over.
"So you are here."
The voice he spoke to Gu Nian was as gentle as ever, like the breeze blowing on his face in summer.
Five years later, nothing has changed.
A smile appeared on Gu Nian's face, and she didn't shy away from the men present and shouted: "Brother."
This familiar voice brought the three people present back to the past. Lu Shiqian even felt that the heat in his heart was about to burst out.
It's really her!
Huo Huaijin felt that his heart stopped for a second, and then started beating even harder.
He wanted to hug her, but seeing that her hand was still held by the little girl, he reached out and touched her head, "It'll be nice to come back."
Lu Shiqian watched his movements, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes fell on Gu Nian's face.
Being able to see her brother, Gu Nian's bad mood dissipated instantly, "Brother, how have you been in the past five years?"
"fine."
Except when I miss her, everything else is fine.
The two of them exchanged greetings as if no one else was around, as if Lu Shiqian was nothing but air.
His face gradually darkened, but his tone was still very low, "Nian Nian, didn't you promise to stay with her for a while? Can you do it now?"
When Gu Nian heard this, she turned her head and glanced at him, then turned to an angle that Lu Shiqian couldn't see and gave Yu Bao a look.
Yubao should be able to understand, she doesn't want to deal with Lu Shiqian now.
Just let him cool off alone.
Immediately, she turned back and continued to reminisce with Huo Huaijin as if no one else was around.
Lu Shiqian watched in astonishment as his words were dismissed as nothing, and he froze on the spot.
What should he do to make Gu Nian willing to look at him again?
At this time, he had no choice but to look at Yu Bao as if asking for help.
Yu Bao caught Gu Nian's eyes and saw Lu Shiqian's confusion.
She also didn't want to disturb her mommy and uncle. She also knew that her uncle was mommy's brother. She must miss him very much after not seeing him for such a long time.
It was like she missed Yaobao after not seeing him for a few days.
but......
But daddy looks a little pitiful.
Yubao's young face looked a little troubled, but the two people who were talking didn't notice it at all.
Huo Huaijin looked at the cold face in front of him and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Niannian...never wore such a conspicuous makeup before.
What has she experienced in the past five years?
"Where have you been these past five years? Why didn't you contact me?" Huo Huaijin couldn't hold back his curiosity in the end.
Gu Nian blinked, and the memories of five years came to his mind. At this moment, the pain in his heart came like a wave, and he was speechless for a moment.
When she faced Huo Huaijin, her face became softer, which made people connect her with the Gu Nian back then.
Lu Shiqian on the side felt a pain in his heart when he saw her appearance.
He pretended to be calm and added at the right time, "Yes, why haven't you come back for five years?"
Gu Nian glanced at him, ignored his question, and turned to Huo Huaijin, "I have been staying in country y for the past five years."
Huo Huaijin was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Yes."
These things are not a secret, but Queen began to rise five years ago, and this time is just right.
Gu Nian also chuckled and answered his second question, "As for why I didn't contact you... As I said, brother, I want to become more powerful than you, so before that, I want to
Work hard secretly!"
She spoke very easily, but both men knew that she was not telling the truth.
At this moment, she seemed to have turned back into the chief designer queen who was on the stage just now. Her speech was impeccable, smooth but polite, and she easily resolved the questions she didn't want to answer.
It's also like...self-preservation.
It was as if a high fortress had been built on her body, which was dazzling but made people unaware of the true appearance inside.
This has nothing to do with Gu Nian.
She has become a queen.
"Niannian..."
Huo Huaijin didn't know what to say for a moment, and unspeakable heartache filled his chest.
His little girl must have suffered a lot these years.
Lu Shiqian couldn't help listening to the "nutritious" conversation between the two.
His silent eyes seemed to be swept by black mist, and he could feel depression and pain at a glance. His lips moved, and it took him a while before he made a sound, "What have you experienced in the past few years... How is your personality different from the past?"
Completely different?"
After asking this question, Huo Huaijin fell silent and looked at Gu Nian, waiting for her answer.
Gu Nian turned her head impatiently and looked at him coldly.
What has she experienced?
Her first reaction was that she thought this question was a bit funny, but then she thought, what qualifications does Lu Shiqian have to ask this question?
Five years ago, she was so harmed by this man that she and her car sank into the river. She will never forget the pain in her life!
What happened later...
Later, even though she was rescued by Lin Yichen, because she was pregnant, many medicines could not be used. No one but herself could understand how painful the entire recovery period was!
She almost gritted her teeth and pushed through.
Later, after she gave birth to two children, she took up designing again...
Nothing is easy, there have been countless collapses and countless self-heals.
Since she fell into the river five years ago, she has torn apart her bones and flesh and become a human again!
How can it be the same as before?
Thinking of this, the hatred in Gu Nian's heart spread like evil fire, and she subconsciously squeezed the hand beside her. She didn't come back to her senses until she felt the other little hand holding her on the edge of her skirt.
Yu Bao...
She suddenly calmed down, but her eyes were still as cold as ice. She stared into Lu Shiqian's eyes and said word by word: "You don't know what I have experienced in the past five years?"
"Isn't all this thanks to you?"
Lu Shiqian knew that he had done something wrong, but he had no words to refute at this moment.
After he was silent for a few seconds, he wanted to say something, but Gu Nian had already gently let go of Yu Bao's hand, "Brother, wait for me."
Then he turned around and walked towards the center stage.
"Sorry to bother you."
Her voice was as distant and polite as before, and the guests gathered around her and looked at her curiously.
