The matter of persuasion was solved instantly when Gu Xichen came forward. The three old men chatted with Gu Xichen alone for more than half an hour before leaving.
Ling Yan and Haitang sat on the sofa next to them and listened without interrupting. Seeing Gu Xichen's intimidating power in the company, Ling Yan sighed in her heart that she was really not suitable to continue sitting in this position in his place.
After seeing off the three old men, Haitang immediately walked to the door wisely: "Boss, I'm right outside the door. You and Miss Ling can be alone for a while."
"Okay." Gu Xichen looked at Ling Yan, who was also looking at him blankly.
The man walked lightly to her side and directly stretched out his arms to hug her.
Ling Yan leaned gently in his arms. The two of them seemed to have no idea what to say, but they had thousands of words in their hearts.
"Xiao Fei will come back safely." Gu Xichen comforted in a low voice.
"Well, I believe she will." Ling Yan was also comforting him.
Both husband and wife had a dark cloud hanging over their hearts. At this moment, even if there were no outsiders present, they were in no mood to talk about romance anymore.
"I have sent people to secretly search for Xiaofei in the border countries. It would be best if we can find Xiao Fei. If we can't find him, we can only let Gu Tiancheng show off his power for a few days." Gu Xichen sighed lowly.
"Well, we have done everything we can. Next, we just wait for Gu Tiancheng to return Xiao Fei to us." Ling Yan closed her eyes, feeling extremely anxious inside.
Since there is no confirmed contact information from Gu Tiancheng, we can only wait for the other party to call. This wait will have to wait until noon the next day. However, as long as Gu Tiancheng's purpose is clear, everyone in the Gu family will feel relaxed.
At least, Xiao Fei will not be harmed until the conditions are met. Gu Tiancheng also assured them that the child is safe, but the premise is that they are not allowed to play tricks anymore.
Gu Tiancheng still underestimated his enemy. He committed such a high-profile attack just because the backbone of the Gu family was no longer there. There were two old ones above, three younger ones below, and Ling Yan, who was no longer his opponent at all, and
, before he was worried that Mu Xiuhan was helping Ling Yan to stabilize the power of the Gu family behind his back, but now, the fate of a little girl has caught Ling Yan off guard. How could Ling Yan dare to borrow Mu Xiuhan's power at this time?
The only thing left is to obey him.
Ling Yan's expressiveness also gave Gu Tiancheng hope of success. Women are not easily frightened. Once frightened, she loses her backbone. Therefore, Gu Tiancheng is now very proud.
However, for safety reasons, he still did not let his two children return to the country. After all, he did not want any information to fall into Ling Yan's hands so that she could play tricks.
It had just gotten dark today, and we had to wait until noon the next day, so everyone had to be patient and wait.
On the other side, Fang Yuan.
The early morning sunlight falls on the garden, activating the vegetation in the garden.
The air is fresh, the birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and some unknown insects are making low chirping sounds.
Xia Yuanqiao woke up from his hangover and raised his hand to block the sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Are you awake?"
A pleasant female voice came from above his head.
Xia Yuanqiao opened his eyes suddenly and saw Nie Jingrou sitting on the chair next to him, holding a cup of books in his hand.
"Miss Nie, why are you still here?" Xia Yuanqiao was a little confused and looked at the sky outside the window. It was the next morning. Wasn't Nie Jingrou supposed to go home yesterday?
Nie Jingrou smiled lightly: "You were very drunk yesterday and there was no one at home, so I didn't dare to leave."
"Sorry to trouble you." Xia Yuanqiao stretched out his hand and pressed his head: "Did I behave erratically yesterday?"
Nie Jingrou shook his head: "No, you fell asleep as soon as you got home and have been sleeping until now."
"That's good." Xia Yuanqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat up: "I'll go upstairs and wash the toilet. There are new toiletries in the bathroom on the first floor. You can take them out and use them yourself."
Nie Jingrou nodded.
Xia Yuanqiao went upstairs, and Nie Jingrou closed the book and went into the bathroom to simply wash up.
The two people bumped into each other again at the stairs, and Xia Yuanqiao was swollen and a little red.
"I still remember what happened last night. Thank you for mocking Zhou Lu for me. I saw that she was about to be pissed to death." Xia Yuanqiao said gratefully.
"I just used everyone's public opinion to attack and remind her, and I didn't help you." Nie Jingrou's clear eyes were focused on the man's face. She didn't know if he had shaved or washed his face.
The person appears clean and masculine.
The bet between Zhou Lu and her suddenly appeared in Nie Jingrou's mind. Within three days, she would ask Xia Yuanqiao to go to a hotel or have a meal.
Will this man fall into Zhou Lu’s beauty trap again?
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Xia Yuanqiao suddenly laughed and was actually embarrassed by her.
Nie Jingrou also laughed immediately: "Let me ask you something, if Zhou Lu wants to turn around, will you give her a chance?"
"Of course not." Xia Yuanqiao replied angrily: "I never want to see her again in my life."
"You're so angry with her, does that mean she still has a place in your heart?" Nie Jingrou laughed at herself.
"I'm angry because she lied to me. It doesn't mean anything." Xia Yuanqiao's face was stunned and he explained hastily.
"Then what you said to me yesterday still counts?" Nie Jingrou looked at him with her beautiful eyes and asked.
Xia Yuanqiao looked into her eyes and nodded: "Yes, I want to try to date you, but I'm afraid... we are not suitable."
Nie Jingrou was startled: "What's inappropriate? I don't think there's anything wrong with our personalities, and we have the same outlook on things."
"That's not what I'm referring to." Xia Yuanqiao walked towards her: "I'm afraid your family won't agree. After all, I'm so much older than you. I believe your parents definitely want you to marry someone of the same age. Yesterday
In the evening, at the dinner party, those young and capable men all showed a strong interest in you, and I could tell. As soon as I appeared, their expressions were a little disappointed."
Nie Jingrou frowned: "Don't say you are so old, they are about the same age as you."
"I mean, you obviously have so many like-minded suitors..."
Nie Jingrou immediately stretched out his hands and crossed them in front of him: "Stop, my whole family is in this industry, I want to find a layman, isn't it possible? If my future husband also takes this path, then I will be bored out of my mind.
Already."
Xia Yuanqiao laughed out loud: "You asked me to be your boyfriend just because my work nature is different from yours?"
"No, I think you are very much in line with my ideal boyfriend." Nie Jingrou admitted this openly.
"Well, actually, I think you are quite interesting. You and Zhou Lu are two completely different girls. You are more sincere than her." Xia Yuanqiao unknowingly compared them again.
Nie Jingrou's pretty face changed: "I don't want to compare with her, and you should stop comparing us."
"Sorry, I said the wrong thing. Let's go. I'll take you out for breakfast." Xia Yuanqiao immediately apologized and thought about it in his mind. In the future, he would not mention Zhou Lu's matter in front of her.
"There is a private chef in Fangyuan that can make breakfast. Let's walk there and eat." Xia Yuanqiao suggested.
"Okay." Nie Jingrou nodded, and the two of them walked out of the house and walked on the tree-lined avenue. The sun was lazy and the grass and trees were green all around. The two of them walked forward side by side, giving them a feeling of tranquility.
This quiet and peaceful feeling brought the two people closer to each other unconsciously.
When they came to the breakfast place, the two of them asked for a small table in each other's yard. Xia Yuanqiao had eaten here and knew what was more delicious here. He counted them in detail. Nie Jingrou listened carefully and then asked for
After picking up what he wanted to eat, Xia Yuanqiao stood up and went in to explain to the waiter.
Nie Jingrou raised her eyes and looked at the man's back, feeling warm in her heart.
She used to strive to find a boyfriend like her brother, but now, she seems to have found one.
Xia Yuanqiao brought over two cups of hot soy milk, then turned back and packed out a few side dishes.
Nie Jingrou wanted to help him, but he stopped her and just asked her to sit here and wait.
Nie Jingrou sat peacefully on the chair and saw a chubby cat sleeping in the sun next to her. Next to her, there were two little kittens who followed the mother cat and rolled up their bellies, squinting their eyes and dozing off.
Nie Jingrou felt better looking at this interesting Yimu.
After Xia Yuanqiao came over, he put his mobile phone on the table, turned to look at the cats with Nie Jingrou, and couldn't help but sigh: "I remember when I came here before, this mother cat was still a kitten.
Come to think of it, she already has children."
"Yeah, so cute." Nie Jingrou liked this kitten and puppy very much. When she was a child, she had two cats and dogs at home. Later, when she got older, she went abroad to study. When she came back, she found a cat that had been killed by a car.
After a collision, one of them died of old age. Nie Jingrou was sad for a long time, and then she didn't dare to raise it casually anymore, for fear that she would not be able to pay her responsibilities and live up to her little life.
"Do you like it? Just now the boss lady asked me if I wanted a kitten. She wanted to give it away." Xia Yuanqiao laughed instantly.
"Really?" Nie Jingrou was inexplicably moved. She really fell in love with the little cat with small patterns on its ears. This one was a bit like the one she had raised before, which touched her heart.
"Yes, the landlady is worried about not being able to find a good home for this kitten." Xia Yuanqiao is also a cat lover, but he is a big man who travels around and has never dared to raise one.
"Then ask the landlady if you can give me the one with the flower on the ear." Nie Jingrou became excited, her eyes filled with light.
"Okay, let me ask for you." Xia Yuanqiao really went there immediately. A few minutes later, he walked out with a small cage in his hand: "The boss lady agreed, and I gave her three hundred yuan.
Money, she originally said she would give it away, but she still wanted to be careful. She said that the litter of kittens were all purebred dolls. She had already given away three of them, and planned to give away only the last one and leave one for the cat.
Mother."
Nie Jingrou immediately became happy: "Then I will take good care of this little guy from now on."
"I'll accompany you." Xia Yuanqiao suddenly said.
Nie Jingrou's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the man: "Do you also like cats?"
"I like it." Xia Yuanqiao nodded: "I didn't dare to raise one by myself before, but now, with you, I suddenly have the courage to adopt one."
Nie Jingrou chuckled: "Okay, then we are two cuties."
"Yes." Xia Yuanqiao nodded, with a smile in his eyes.
After finishing breakfast, the two people really carried the kitten. The mother cat seemed a little sad and kept crying. The boss lady was also very reluctant to let go, but she still told them to leave quickly.
The two people immediately ran for more than two hundred meters, Nie Jingrou holding the kitten in her arms, and Xia Yuanqiao carrying a cage. The two people were obviously doing serious business, but they seemed to be thieves.
"Okay, stop crying, stop crying. From now on, you can follow us." Nie Jingrou gently comforted the kitten in her arms. The little guy blinked his big gray-blue eyes and looked at her curiously.
After the two of them returned home, Xia Yuanqiao had already searched for cat-raising tutorials on the Internet, projected them on the TV, and the two of them studied together.
"It's so small, so it needs some milk powder." Nie Jingrou said, "Pet shops should have it."
"In a while, we will go out again, give him a home, and buy some necessities." Xia Yuanqiao agreed to everything, and the two hit it off and went straight to the pet store.
Nie Jingrou was more experienced. When she asked what to buy, Xia Yuanqiao immediately put the things in the fence. Nie Jingrou was holding the cute kitten and chattering next to her, while Xia Yuanqiao listened carefully and mentioned small things from time to time.
Opinion, very quickly, the two of them loaded their bags into the car.
"Leave this kitten here with me. Come and take a look at it when you have time." Nie Jingrou couldn't let go of this kitten.
"By the way, aren't you going to work today?" Xia Yuanqiao suddenly thought of something important.
Nie Jingrou immediately checked the time: "Yes, I have to go to work today. Damn it, why did I forget such an important thing?"
As Nie Jingrou said that, she quickly called her boss and asked for a leave.
Unexpectedly, her boss asked her with a smile: "You sent a text message last night asking for leave. Have you forgotten it?"
Only then did Nie Jingrou realize that she had actually asked for leave on the mobile phone system last night.
Xia Yuanqiao looked at her stunned expression and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I am more important than you at work."
"Don't talk nonsense, I just asked for leave because you were drunk and needed to be taken care of in the morning." Nie Jingrou immediately made an excuse.
"Okay, I understand, Jingrou, thank you. Being with you, I feel very relaxed, and time passes very quickly." Xia Yuanqiao said from the bottom of his heart.
"It's weird, I feel like things go by very fast. It's already noon, it's time to have lunch." Nie Jingrou frowned.
"Then I'll treat you to lunch. Let's go and find a restaurant in the shopping mall nearby." Xia Yuanqiao immediately said with a smile.
"When I'm with you, I always eat and drink and never do anything serious." Nie Jingrou couldn't laugh or cry. This was not her style.
"Isn't the best way to enhance your relationship through eating and drinking?" Xia Yuanqiao said with a raised eyebrow.
Nie Jingrou was stunned for a moment: "It makes sense, it seems like this."
Just when the two of them arrived at the mall, Xia Yuanqiao's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it, turned to Nie Jingrou and said, "Zhou Lu called me."
