The black-bellied president can't be offended

"surprise?"

Hearing what he said, Gu Anwan blinked in a daze, and the next moment, he saw Xiang Yuming raising his hand and pointing in a direction not far away.

Following the direction of his fingers, Gu Anwan turned his head to look in the direction of the drawing board covered with a huge canvas. The next moment, he saw that the canvas was torn off directly, and the painting on the drawing board appeared in front of him.

If someone had just taken a picture of Xiang Yuming kissing her, it should be the picture shown on this drawing board.

It was a man exactly like Xiang Yuming, who was bowing his head and kissing the woman in his arms, and the two people on the screen were her and Xiang Yuming.

Gu Anwan's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up in the direction of Xiang Yuming in disbelief.

Xiang Yuming looked down at her and said in a low voice
"This is all carefully drawn by me stroke by stroke. Do you like it?"

Gu Anwan's eyes turned red immediately, she nodded again and again, looking at the painting, she seemed quite moved, Xiang Yuming said in a low voice when she saw this.

"This painting appeared in this exhibition just to give you a surprise. When we go back, I will have someone transport the painting back. Where do you want to hang it at home?"

Thinking of such a painting hanging at home, Gu Anwan's face immediately turned a little redder.

Her lips moved slightly, noticing everyone's gaze, she looked in the direction of the two of them, she said in a low voice.

"Hang it... in the bedroom. If you hang it in the living room, I feel embarrassed. Anyone who comes to the house can see it."

Hearing what he said, Xiang Yuming immediately nodded with a smile and agreed.

At the same time, the huge mural hanging on the wall not far away was also seen by the exhibitors.

They first looked at the painting with some surprise, then at the pair of young men and women standing in front of the painting, and envy appeared in their eyes.

It seems that this painting should be a gift from this gentleman to this lady.

"My God, this gentleman is so romantic, and this lady looks like she likes the painting."

Someone at the scene sighed with emotion in a low voice, and Gu Anwan also lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard the voice from the crowd watching not far away.

"Prepare such a surprise for me, and didn't tell me in advance."

"I don't even know when you secretly drew such a picture. Wait, could it be that you have been busy in the utility room on the top of the building for a while, just drawing?"

Hearing Gu Anwan's question, Xiang Yuming smiled and nodded in agreement.

When Gu Anwan saw him like this, a touch of emotion appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice.

"Thank you, thank you so much"

Xiang Yuming was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head with a helpless smile.

"We are husband and wife. I just gave you a painting, but you thanked me. What does it look like?"

When Gu Anwan heard what he said, she smiled, but she still felt a little moved in her heart.

The two of them stayed in front of the painting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and then left the art exhibition. Not long after leaving the art exhibition, the huge mural was also sent home.

Gu Anwan was very happy, and it was obvious that he liked the murals very much.

Seeing that he liked it, Xiang Yuming also felt a little more at ease.

The next day was coming, and it was time for Gu Anwan and Xiang Yuming to go back to Xiang's house for dinner.

The two of them called the nanny of Xiang's family early and informed the nanny of their plan to meet Xiang's family.The nanny was quite surprised when she found out, and immediately said that she would prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Xiang Yuming and Gu Anwan bought some Xiangmu's favorite food and returned to Xiang's house. When they got home, neither Xiang Zetian nor Lin Ye had returned from the company, and only Xiangmu was at home.

Mother Xiang was also quite surprised when she learned that Xiang Yuming and Gu Anwan were planning to come back.

Seeing Xiang Yuming open the door and walk in, a smile flashed across Xiang's mother's face, and then she nodded coldly.

As soon as Xiang Yuming and Gu Anwan raised their heads, they caught a glimpse of Xiang Mu's appearance. Gu Anwan and Xiang Yuming looked at each other, and Gu Anwan only thought of Xiang Mu. Angry about something else.

And the fact did not exceed her expectations. Not long after they stepped into the living room and sat down, the two of them heard Xiang's mother complaining to the nanny in the dining room.

"Until now, I haven't remembered what I like to eat. Do you say that she sincerely wants to be our daughter-in-law of the Xiang family? Isn't it the duty of the elders to care about the elders' preferences?"

"I'm away all day and I don't know how to go home early. I can't figure out what is so busy for a person from an ordinary family."

Listening to Xiang's mother's complaints, the nanny didn't dare to speak. After all, the second young master of the Xiang family also lives in this villa. If she complied with Xiang's mother's words and was told to Xiang Zetian by others, wouldn't it be a little distasteful? good.

Mother Xiang noticed that the nanny was busy with her head lowered and did not dare to speak, so she rolled her eyes and turned to look in the direction of Gu Anwan, the author not far away.

Gu Anwan met Xiang's mother's gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, she strode over to Xiang's mother, pulled herself and began to complain.

"I thought you were bad before, but there is no harm if there is no comparison. Now that I care about the one my second child is looking for, I realize that you are really good."

The corners of Gu Anwan's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, but she didn't forget why she came to Xiang's house today.

Now when he heard Xiangmu say this, he pondered for a moment and pulled Xiangmu to sit down in front of the sofa, and then said in a gentle voice.

"Mom, we all know that you are so worried about the marriage between the second brother and Lin Ye because you care about the second brother, but I believe you can see it these days."

"Second brother and Lin Ye have a deep relationship, and it's not easy to separate them. If that's the case, you might as well help them both."

"After all, that's the woman my second brother likes."

"So what if he likes it? It's one thing to like it. It's another thing to be suitable. It's a big deal to get married. If we are together just because of a liking, do we have to separate if we feel inappropriate in the future?"

"Wait until then, who knew that woman would open her mouth and ask how much money we want from Xiangjia?"

There was a gloomy look in Xiang Mu's eyes, which flashed past.

"If that woman doesn't know how to be sensible and obediently leaves my son, I will not let her go one day sooner or later."

These words made people's heart beat wildly, Gu Anwan's expression froze slightly, and he raised his head to look in the direction of Xiang's mother.

"Mom, you should think about this matter carefully. Don't do anything too extreme. Lin Ye and Xiang Zetian really love each other."

"And whether it's suitable or not...We are not a feudal society anymore, everyone is in free love. If two people really get along, there is no right or wrong."

"Lin Ye's speech, manners and personal cultivation are very good. I don't think there is anything wrong with her marrying Xiang Zetian."

When Mother Xiang heard what Gu Anwan said, she curled her lips in disdain.

"Speak and behave well? What's the use of speaking and behave well? There are many ladies in this world who speak better than her."

"With her background, even if she talks and behaves well, there is still a sense of poverty in her bones. How can she be worthy of my son?"

When Gu Anwan heard what he said, she couldn't help but frowned, and when she was about to say something, everyone heard the sound of the door opening from the living room not far away.

Immediately afterwards, two figures opened the door and walked in. When Xiang Zetian and Lin Ye looked up and saw Xiang Yuming and Gu Anwan sitting in the living room, they were slightly startled.

A smile appeared on Lin Ye's face immediately, and then she saw Xiang's mother sitting next to Gu Anwan.

The smile on her face froze slightly, and then fell down, looking a little disappointed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Anwan immediately felt a little helpless, and she glanced at her mother.

Mother Xiang snorted coldly, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the restaurant, without any intention of greeting Xiang Zetian and Lin Ye at all, Gu Anwan felt even more at a loss.

"It's okay, you should have expected it a long time ago, Mom doesn't like Lin Ye, it's normal to have such a reaction, you go talk to Lin Ye first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if Mom can help. "

Xiang Yuming said something in a low voice, and Gu Anwan nodded in agreement after hearing what he said, and came to the door.

Xiang Zetian and Lin Ye changed their shoes, took off their coats and handed them to the nanny beside them, then looked up in Gu Anwan's direction.

"I didn't expect you, brother and sister-in-law, to come so early. We thought that we would come back early today, and maybe we could be ahead of you."

"Your elder brother and I have nothing to do. We have almost dealt with the work at hand, so we rushed here as soon as possible. The two of you seem to be quite tired. Are you under a lot of work pressure these days? ?”

"Actually, it's not bad." Xiang Zetian raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "It's the project that I mentioned to my elder brother before, and now it's in the preparation stage."

"There are a lot of trivial matters that need to be dealt with, and I don't feel comfortable handing them over to others, so I've been a little busy these days, but it's not a big deal. Such situations are very common."

When Gu Anwan heard what he said, she nodded in response, and then turned her head to look in Lin Ye's direction.

Lin Ye met her gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and then he spoke nervously as if thinking of something.

"By the way, I just saw you sitting with your aunt, did you two say anything?"

"Say it, I told her a lot of good things about you, but Mom has a stubborn temper, and you should have seen it through the time you spent with her. There is no rush for this matter, and it needs to be taken slowly."

"Don't worry, I will slowly convince her that you are the most suitable candidate for Xiang Zetian and the best daughter-in-law of the Xiang family!"

Gu Anwan blinked slyly, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ye felt moved in her heart. She clenched her fist slightly, and after a moment of silence, she nodded in response.

When Gu Anwan saw her like this, the smile on his face deepened a bit, and when he was about to say something more, he heard an exclamation from the restaurant not far away.

"Ouch, I asked you to bake biscuits, how did you bake them like this? Is this still edible? It's all mushy!"

Mother Xiang in the restaurant complained dissatisfiedly. When Gu Anwan and Lin Ye heard the voice, they both looked at each other.

Lin Ye hesitated for a moment, and took two steps towards the restaurant, but stopped again.

She could hear that Xiang's mother seemed a little dissatisfied, and she knew that if she showed up at this time, Xiang's mother would probably vent her anger on herself.

Seeing her like this, Gu Anwan knew that although she was concerned about the situation in the restaurant, she still didn't dare to go forward, so she took a step forward and patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, then said.

"From what I heard, it should be that the aunt who prepared the meals accidentally burned the biscuits. Don't worry, go to the living room with Xiang Zetian to sit and have a rest."

"The two of you just came back from work and were tired. I'll go to the restaurant to see what's going on. If Xiang's mother is very angry, I'll comfort her a little bit so that she won't trouble you later."

When Lin Ye heard what he said, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement.

Gu Anwan blinked at her, then turned around and walked towards the restaurant. As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, she smelled a burnt smell.

She followed the smell and looked forward, and she saw Mother Xiang holding a plate, scolding the nanny standing beside her impatiently.

"Didn't I tell you? This biscuit can be baked for 15 minutes, why did you wait for half an hour?"

The nanny looked a little at a loss, he raised his hand and scratched his head, trying to remember, with a look of confusion on his face.

"But, but I remember telling my wife to bake the biscuits for half an hour... Maybe I remembered wrongly. I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry."

The nanny only thought that she had made a mistake, and after confirming that the biscuits were no longer edible, she immediately apologized repeatedly.

When Mother Xiang heard what she said, she snorted coldly, turned her head and glanced at Gu Anwan who was standing at the door, then sighed helplessly and said.

"Two days ago, I learned a method of baking biscuits from a friend of mine. I thought I would try it for you today, but I didn't expect..."

Mother Xiang is actually not good at cooking, but she is very interested in things like desserts. Now that Gu Anwan heard Mother Xiang say this, she waved her hand and said.

"It's okay, I'll go home in a few days, and I'll make some biscuits with you."

When Xiang's mother heard what Gu An said in the evening, a smile appeared on her face immediately, and then said aloud.

"Okay, then you can remember to take the child with you when you come back next time."

After all, the child is still young, so it is not suitable for him to go out often, so Gu Anwan stayed at home and was taken care of by the nanny and servants.

Now that Gu Anwan heard what Xiang's mother said, she immediately nodded with a smile. He and Xiang Yuming came here today for a purpose, mainly to help Lin Ye say more good things, so they didn't deliberately send the child away. bring.

Now, after hearing Xiang's mother say this, Gu Anwan wrote down the matter, and when she was about to step forward to say something, Xiang Yuming walked out from the kitchen beside her.

"It's just that the biscuits were burnt. It's not a big deal. Gu Anwan and I don't like sweets. If these biscuits aren't ready, it's a big deal to wait until the next time we come back."

"Now we can only do it when you come again next time." Mother Xiang sighed when she heard Xiang Yuming say this, and said so.

Hearing the words, Xiang Yuming also nodded in response, looked at each other with Gu Anwan beside him, threw the tray aside to his mother, and was about to turn around and leave, as if thinking of something, his brows frowned slightly .

"No, I'll call later and order some pastries."

Xiang mother is stubborn, and now the biscuits she wanted to bake were not baked, so she felt uncomfortable, and finally decided to buy some.

Gu Anwan understood Xiangmu's character, seeing that she had made this decision, she didn't say much, she nodded, and then watched Xiangmu leave quickly.

Xiang Yuming caught a glimpse of Xiang's mother returning to his bedroom, but he didn't say much, he just walked back to the living room with Gu Anwan and sat down.

Lin Ye and Xiang Zetian saw that Xiang Mu had just returned to the bedroom with an ugly face, so they asked immediately.

"What happened just now?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that a nanny misremembered the time to bake the biscuits and accidentally burned the biscuits."

"But it seems like my mother is very concerned about this biscuit, and now I don't know what to do when I go back to my room."

Xiang Yuming sat down in front of the sofa, and responded casually. After hearing the words, Xiang Zetian nodded and responded.

Gu Anwan glanced in Lin Ye's direction, seeing that Lin Ye's brows were still frowning, she whispered.

"Don't be impatient in everything, you should understand this truth, Lin Ye, you are very smart, I believe you should not be defeated by such a simple matter."

"Also, if Xiang Zetian keeps making things difficult for Lin Ye, I think it's better for the two of you to move out."

Once a third party intervenes in any relationship, no matter what the identity of the third party is, it will affect the stability of the relationship.

Gu Anwan knew this in his heart, so he came up with this suggestion, and Xiang Zetian frowned when he heard Gu Anwan say this, and after a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement.

He didn't understand this truth, but now that his sister-in-law had already taken the initiative to mention it, he also agreed to the matter. Lin Ye glanced in his direction, his eyes dimmed.

"If we move out, I don't know if Mom will make a fuss. If the two of us are going to move out, I guess Mom will call and urge Xiang Zeyan to go back every few days."

"And I feel that if I move out, it will anger my mother instead, and maybe I will not be able to..."

When Lin Ye said this, his eyes turned slightly red, and a look of grievance appeared on his face. Xiang Zetian caught a glimpse of her expression, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Even if the other party hadn't finished speaking, she understood the other party's meaning, and now seeing the other party's appearance, Xiang Zetian sighed and said.

"Don't worry, I will always stand by your side. No matter what decision mother makes later, I will never give up my plan to marry you."

Xiang Zetian had made such a promise too many times, but at this moment, under such a situation, Lin Ye had a faint feeling in his heart.

She couldn't believe that the other party would really marry her, if Ruo Xiang's mother obstructed her in every possible way.

Seeing Lin Ye biting his lower lip lightly, he nodded hesitantly in response, but his hands on his knees clenched into fists involuntarily.

Gu Anwan frowned, as if she had sensed Lin Ye's emotions, seeing the other party's appearance at this moment, she stepped forward and said.

"If you have time in the past few days, you can contact me often, and I will often go back to Xiang's home. Once I have time, I will have a good chat with Xiang's mother."

"The two of you are very suitable, and you have been together for such a long time, and your relationship is very deep. Although Xiang's mother can't figure it out now, she will figure it out sooner or later, and she will choose to accept the two of you being together. of."

Hearing what Gu Anwan said, Lin Ye sighed, nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Gu Anwan's lips moved, and just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard another knock on the door.

Gu Anwan couldn't help but froze, Lin Ye stood up first and walked towards the door.

"I'll go see who's here."

The expression on her face was lonely, and she walked towards the door a little fast, as if she wanted to escape from the situation at this moment.

Seeing her like this, Gu Anwan also sighed, stood up and followed her, leaving only Xiang Yuming and Xiang Zetian sitting in the living room.

Xiang Yuming picked up the teacup on the table and shook it in his hand, then said.

"If you have figured it out in the past few days, you should have a good talk with Mom. Mom is a tough person. If you know your sincerity, but still make up your mind that you don't want to be with Lin Ye, you probably won't sit still. .”

"You need to be more careful during this time, and be careful that mom is playing tricks behind the scenes."

When Xiang Zetian heard what Xiang Yuming said, he was slightly taken aback, then nodded, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

At the same time, on the other side, Lin Ye had already reached the door.

Raising his hand to open the door, he saw a somewhat familiar face appearing at the door.

Lin Ye couldn't help being stunned, looked down at the box in the other party's hand, and then said aloud in surprise.

"Mr. Wu, why are you here?"

"Mrs. Xiang ordered some pastries from me just now, and I sent them here specially. I didn't realize it was your residence until I arrived."

There was a smile on the young man's face, and when he spoke like this, his expression was gentle, and after realizing that Lin Ye's mood seemed a little bad, he immediately opened his mouth and said

"What's the matter? I think you seem a little unhappy."

"It's nothing, maybe I just got off work and felt a little tired. I didn't expect you to deliver the pastries in person."

There was a smile on Gu Anwan's face, he knew that Xiang's mother was going to order pastries.

Now he raised his hand to take the pastry box, and when he was about to continue to say something, he saw the young man step forward and whispered in her ear.

"Occasionally feel bad, or too bored, you can ask me out, don't you have my contact information? I can accompany you to relax or chat."

Hearing what she said, Lin Ye was slightly taken aback, and looked up in the direction of the other party. The young man met Lin Ye's sight, and there was a gloomy look in the middle of it, which Lin Ye didn't notice.

"I want to be friends with you. Since we are friends, I should help you share your bad emotions. If you feel bad, or want someone to talk to, you can have a good chat with me."

Hearing what he said, Lin Ye nodded in silence for a moment, and responded, perhaps because he had accumulated too much depression in his heart during this time, and at this moment he didn't realize that the other party's words were wrong.

While the two were chatting at the door, Gu Anwan also walked over behind Lin Ye. Gu Anwan glanced up and stood outside the door. The rather handsome young man raised his eyebrows.
