Looking forward to returning home

The workmanship of the silver chain is extremely simple. It is formed by interweaving two chains, one thick and one thin. The middle is decorated with round beads inlaid with broken diamonds and star-shaped ornaments alternately.

However, a bracelet with this appearance is really not worthy of Gu Yanxiao's current social status.

From Li Xiaozhu's experience, he can see its value, and it will not exceed 1000 yuan at most.

I don't know who gave Gu Yanxiao such a 'big gift', and made Gu Yanxiao wear it on his wrist in a special way.

Gu Yanxiao's coming-of-age banquet was arranged by the Gu family early on. The purpose is obvious, to expand the social circle, and to choose a lover if the conditions are suitable.

At that time, the purpose of the former was achieved, but the latter... was a bit hard to say.

Naturally, there are not a few people who come here with this kind of mind. When they see Gu Yanxiao, they all go up to boast about themselves, but there is always a little girl beside her, holding Gu Yanxiao tightly with her little hand, not loosening it. , so much so that they were a little reluctant to tell the truth about their intentions, and most of them left reluctantly after a few pleasantries.

Gu Yanxiao didn't expect that bringing An Lin by her side would have such an effect, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or not.

She doesn't like to bring An Lin into this kind of environment, because she is afraid that the child will be influenced by what he sees and hears, and if he accidentally learns about official power or other things, he will not be able to correct it for a while.

But if you don't bring An Lin, you can only leave her alone in the Gu family's villa, and you can't let go.

For Gu Yanxiao's coming-of-age banquet, all relatives of the Gu family will be present, so naturally Gu Sheng and Guo Miao will not be missing.

At first, Guo Miao originally planned to invite his aunt to take care of An Lin at home, so as not to always worry about having a child at home, but Gu Yanxiao refused.

Some things that happened earlier made An Lin feel insecure. If she was entrusted to someone, it would be no different from sending her to an orphanage.

Li Xiaozhu shook his head, and focused his eyes on Gu Yanxiaojiao's beautiful face again. The lightly frowned eyebrows not only did not destroy her beauty, but added some unusual taste.

There was a little anxiety in Gu Yanxiao's words: "Then why did this child suddenly say that he likes women?"

She hasn't said clearly that An Lin has clearly expressed that the person she likes is herself, but she just mentioned one point first.

Based on her current thinking, in terms of sexual orientation, An Lin likes girls because she didn't guide her well.

It's just that she just found out about the relationship between Jiang Mushu and Jian Yifan, and something made her hesitate again.

She kept thinking in the car when she arrived, is this wrong?

"Like women?" Li Xiaozhu thought it was a little funny, seeing Gu Yanxiao's half-spoken and self-deceiving performance, directly exposed her, "You just say that the person the little follower likes is you."

"You..." Gu Yanxiao raised his lowered head suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Li Xiaozhu, "Why do you know..."

"I said Miss Gu Jia, you should also know what I do. Knowing people is very important to me, and I should have practiced it after so many years." Li Xiaozhu shrugged and continued to explain "Besides, she has never hidden the fact that she likes you, and she can understand it at a glance. I was not sure before and asked her on purpose, but the little follower just admitted it openly, how could I not know? "

"She likes you, I already knew."

Gu Yanxiao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

early?

But why didn't she find out?

"I guess your little secretary knows too." Li Xiaozhu added.

Gu Yanxiao: "..."

Li Xiaozhu: "Actually, I can't blame you, after all, I can see how slow you are in this regard."

Gu Yanxiao: "Are you comforting me by saying this?"

Li Xiaozhu: "It's fine if you think so, I'm just stating the truth of a fact."

Seeing the waiter pushing the door and coming in to serve the food, Gu Yanxiao temporarily shut up and watched as they put all the dishes together.

After the dishes were put on the table, the two people moved to the table and sat opposite each other.

Li Xiaozhu greeted them, and then she didn't have to come in if there was nothing to do, and when everyone had withdrawn, she continued: "And then?"

"Then what?"

"That little follower! She said she likes you, what did you say?"

Li Xiaozhu seemed very interested in this matter, he put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, and asked while chewing.

Gu Yanxiao couldn't bring it up, her ears turned red, and she only stared at the food in front of her: "I didn't say anything."

"You think I'm easy to deceive. It's not that I don't know the child's temperament. She can let you go without an answer." Li Xiaozhu gave a 'tsk', inadvertently glanced at Gu Yanxiao's ear, and laughed out loud. "Okay, I won't ask too many questions, are we together?"

"Ahem." Li Xiaozhu's words were too direct, and Gu Yanxiao choked. She waited for a while before saying, "How is it possible..."

"Why is it impossible?" Li Xiaozhu was used to it casually, he didn't think as much as Gu Yanxiao, and he never had any scruples.

Gu Yanxiao put down her chopsticks, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times: "I watched her grow up, and in my eyes she has always been a child, how could she be with me just because she said she likes me."

"And... she's only so old, she still doesn't have a clear understanding of love. If it's just her whim, then wouldn't I lead her to a more wrong path?"

Gu Yanxiao has been in a dilemma these days, because An Lin has just grown up and was brought up by her alone, even if she is a half mother, it is not an exaggeration.

But... what she had to admit was that she was indeed a little bit tempted by her as An Lin said, but she didn't know whether she was really tempted or just a whim.

So these two feelings are like angels and demons above her head, constantly circling and fighting, and it will never be possible to tell the winner.

Li Xiaozhu was speechless for a while, and sighed: "You are worrying too much. Nowadays, children at the age of thirteen or fourteen are already in love, and love is nothing new to them. Ann Rin is eighteen, you won't still treat her like a three-year-old?"

"Of course I didn't mean that, but..."

Gu Yanxiao wanted to say a few more words, but Li Xiaozhu waved his hand at her, and said with a serious expression, "Ah Xiao, are you a little nervous?"

Gu Yanxiao was stunned when she heard the words, her thin lips parted slightly, she muttered twice and lost her voice.

"Some things are between you and An Lin. What to do and how to deal with them should be decided by you yourself, and no one else can help you." Li Xiaozhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yanxiao, "And I heard that An Lin offered to leave your Gu family on her own initiative... If you think about all the things she did, are you sure that she really took the word she said to you that she likes you as a joke? "

night.

Li Xiaozhu answered the phone temporarily, saying that some starlet had some problems and she wanted to rush back to deal with them, and the two of them ended the dinner ahead of schedule.

Gu Yanxiao's apartment is on the only way from Wangyue Pavilion to Guangyao Media.

Li Xiaozhu saw that there was still time, so he offered to send her back first.

After a meal, Gu Yanxiao seemed to be trying to force himself, and was a little sluggish.

At first the topic was about Gu Yanxiao and An Lin, but Li Xiaozhu was afraid that he would push Gu Yanxiao too hard by talking too much, so he shifted the topic to Jian Yifan and Jiang Mushu on his own.

But she knew to restrain herself. Even though Gu Yanxiao was Jiang Mushu's immediate boss, other people's privacy still needed to be respected. She raised these mainly to distract Gu Yanxiao's attention.

In fact, she didn't intend to force her, but she couldn't bear to see An Lin like that.

At first, she didn't expect that An Lin would like Gu Yanxiao, after all, there is a ten-year difference between the two.

But then she thought about it, in this big dye vat she was in, there were many people with a bigger age difference than this, and there was no difference between the same sex and the opposite sex to her.

Gu Yanxiao originally wanted to

Refused, but hesitated for a while and nodded.

She didn't really want to ask the driver to pick her up, so since Li Xiaozhu wanted to, he did as she wanted.

When she returned to the apartment and turned on the lights, she saw the simple and plain furnishings in the room. She stood at the entrance for a while, leaning her back against the anti-theft door, looking up at the overhead light slightly.

The warm yellow light came into her eyes, and the pattern inside appeared finely divided, and after staring at it for a long time, it became a little unclear.

Thinking of Li Xiaozhu's words, she silently took out her mobile phone from her handbag, and carefully sent a message to that person in the distance.

[An'an, are you up yet? 】

Gu Yanxiao paused, turned off the screen temporarily, grabbed the phone in his hand, took off his high heels and walked into the house.

Not even a minute after she sent the message, the phone buzzed and vibrated.

She lowered her head and unlocked her phone, and saw that An Lin made a video call directly on WeChat.

The phone was connected, and the person on the other end of the video was wearing a light suspender nightdress, with a sleepy look on his face, his eyes half closed, as if hearing the sound of the phone being connected, she raised her eyes to look at the phone screen in a daze.

Seeing Gu Yanxiao's cold face, the corners of An Lin's mouth twitched slightly, but she couldn't open her eyes wide due to sleepiness, so she could only smile at her slightly, and said subconsciously: "Sister... ..."

"What time is it? Have you arrived home?" An Lin's voice was soft but hoarse. Matching her current attire, Gu Yanxiao was unconsciously fascinated.

The neck is fair, the collarbone hooks, and the black eyelashes tremble slightly from time to time. The black hair is a little messy, but it adds a touch of lazy beauty.

Fortunately, the person on the other end was still half asleep and half awake, and his brain reaction was even more sluggish, as if he was going to fall asleep again soon.

Gu Yanxiao came to his senses after a while, pursed his lips, thought of what An Lin had just called him, rolled his throat, and said softly: "It's eleven o'clock in the evening, I just came back."

Seeing An Lin's sleepy look, she couldn't bear it, and said, "Did it wake you up, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No need." An Lin snorted, holding the phone in one hand, and sat up from the bed halfway sideways with the other.

During the process, the neckline of her pajamas fell down uncontrollably, and the red plums on the snow-white buds swayed gently, fleeting.

Gu Yanxiao didn't intend to look at it, and quickly avoided his sight, but he couldn't forget the scene that just hit his eyes in his mind.
