The love is so deep that Mr. Gu is crazy

Chapter 88 Mother’s Family

The two of them walked aimlessly for a while, one in front and one behind.

When passing by the snack stand selling octopus balls, Shen Li would always glance over there intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps because the way they looked at them was too straightforward, the person next to them asked lightly, "Do you want to eat?"

Shen Li withdrew his gaze with embarrassment as his little thoughts were exposed. He shook his head firmly and walked away quickly.

Gu Jingcheng glanced at the neatly arranged golden roasted balls in front of him, puzzled. When he looked up, he met the boss's frowning and unfriendly eyes.

He looked him over and asked in a rough voice, "Do you want it?"

Gu Jingcheng bowed slightly, shook his head and walked away.

The boss cast a disdainful look at his back. The boss's wife saw her husband staring blankly at the crowd and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The boss complained: "He looks so well-dressed, but he can't even afford to buy a snack for his girlfriend. He's really stingy!"

The lady boss glanced at her and said, "What's your business? Just grill your meatballs~"

The boss withdrew his gaze. The burly man pouted with an aggrieved look and said "oh", while his hands skillfully flipped the meatballs in front of him.

Shen Li walked quickly, looking for Xie Xiaoqin in the crowd. The person behind him caught up with him in a few steps.

"Didn't you want to eat that round thing just now?" Gu Jingcheng couldn't help but be curious.

Shen Li reacted to the round thing, chuckled, and nodded.

"Then why not buy it?"

Withdrawing his gaze from searching the crowd, Shen Li turned his head to glance at Gu Jingcheng, whose handsome features were picturesque.

He was wearing a well-cut dark suit and his hair was neatly combed behind his head. His cold temperament was somewhat out of place in the bustling night market, and he stood out in the crowd.

This attracted the attention of many young girls along the way, and even Shen Li couldn't take his eyes off him.

Thinking of him seriously asking her why she didn't buy it, Shen Li curled her lips and replied, "Xiao Qin said I should have the consciousness of being an artist."

A fleeting complex emotion flashed across his clear eyes, and he lowered his head and added, "Besides, not everything you like has to be obtained."

It seemed like answering his question, but it also didn't seem like...

The last sentence didn't seem to be directed at him.

Gu Jingcheng opened his mouth to ask something, but Shen Li's eyes lit up and he pointed to the front excitedly, "They are there."

As he said that, he tugged at Gu Jingcheng's sleeve and ran after him through the crowd.

The crowd was bustling, and the sounds of noise and laughter were constantly intertwined in my ears, but my ears seemed to automatically block out these sounds. Gu Jingcheng stood there, and in his deep eyes, there was a small figure, smiling brightly.

"Brother, you are here, do you want to eat?"

Gu Jingchuan had come up to his brother at some point and handed him an octopus ball. His hands were not idle, as they held four or five bags of food.

Gu Jingcheng shook his head helplessly, saying in a normal tone: "No."

On the day they returned to Kyoto, the Huo family prepared a banquet at home early in the morning and invited Shen Li and Xie Xiaoqin to dinner to thank them for taking care of Chen Pingan over the years.

The luxury car slowly drove along a quiet tree-lined avenue, with exquisite villas scattered on both sides of the road.

The place they went to was the villa where the Huo family lived in the city, not Huo Jun's paradise-like manor.

The car window was half open, and the street lights cast mottled light and shadows through the dense leaves, sprinkling dottedly on the faces of the people in the car.

The car finally stopped in front of the Huo family villa. The gate was open and it was surrounded by lush gardens and neatly manicured lawns.

The car stopped steadily. As soon as I opened the door and got out, a middle-aged woman wearing a navy blue cheongsam and with her hair neatly tied behind her head came to meet me.

She had a faint smile on her face and a good temperament. She held her hands gently with both hands: "You must be Shen Li, Xiaoyu has shown me your photos. You are even more beautiful in person than in the photos."

The person who pulled her aside to talk was Chen Ping'an's biological mother, He Qi.

"Hello Auntie."

Shen Li greeted her with a smile.

Behind him stood a large and orderly group of people from the Huo family, and "Chen Ping'an" was of course there too.

He looked unwell despite being ill. Shen Li greeted them one by one and her gaze fell back on He Qi's face who was still holding her hand tightly.

Chen Ping'an and she have a pair of eyes that are carved from the same mold, and they look very young if they are well maintained.

"You must be tired after the journey. Are you hungry? The food is ready. Let's eat first..."

He Qi spoke softly as he led Shen Li and Xie Xiaoqin inside.

At the dinner table, the two families chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was unusually warm. He Qi was a very gentle and thoughtful person, and Xie Xiaoqin was also a talkative person who was not shy.

Apart from the occasional exchange of words with Gu Jingchuan, the rest was filled with laughter and the meal was quite relaxing.

After dinner, a group of people sat in the tea room drinking tea and chatting. He Qi couldn't join in the conversation on the topics the men were talking about, nor was he interested, so he only talked to Shen Li and Xie Xiaoqin.

Gu Jingchuan hated such boring scenes the most, and he dragged Chen Pingan upstairs to play games. He was so relaxed as if this was the Gu family, not the Huo family.

"By the way, Auntie has prepared gifts for you. Let's go up and take a look." He Qi said, pulling the two of them upstairs.

A pair of translucent white jade bracelets, which seemed to be of no worse quality than the one Gu Zhengrong had given to Shen Li before.

Each of them held one in their hands, which made He Qi smile even more.

"So beautiful. When I took the photo of this pair of bracelets, I was thinking how nice it would be if I had a daughter or daughter-in-law. This color looks good on you little girls."

Xie Xiaoqin raised her hand and looked at it carefully: "Auntie, this doesn't look cheap. Isn't it too expensive?"

Shen Li was also unwilling to accept such an expensive gift, "It's too expensive, we can't accept it."

He Qi held their hands and stopped them from taking them off.

"It's just a token of my love. It's not worth much. I gave it to you for fun. You have always treated Xiaoyu like a family member over the years..."

Speaking of his youngest son who had suffered for many years, He Qi choked up and his eyes turned red.

With the two of them comforting him, he felt better.

She took the tissue handed over by Shen Li, wiped the tears from her face, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Now that Xiaoyu is back, let's take a look at this room."

The two of them took a look at the layout of the room. It was all light pink, with pink curtains tied with bows, pink bedding, and even the headboard was shaped like a princess crown with a few stuffed dolls placed on it. It was obviously a girl's room.

He Qi held Shen Li's hand, his eyes full of love: "From now on, this is your room, and the Huo family will be your mother's home."

Shen Li felt a sour nose and the mist in his eyes blurred his vision.
