Chapter 266: Model Couple
Tao Baihe looked coldly at You Jinlan and Gao Jin, who were standing in the center of the crowd and talking to Wan Guohou, and "snorted" unhappily, then took two glasses of wine from the waiter's hand and handed one of them to her husband.
"What's wrong?" Nan Zeyu could see that her face was uncertain.
"They were really in the mood to propose today. Tao Baihe said sourly, "It's a cold day, and I don't know what to do." β
"Isn't it back in the hall, it's warm. Nan Zeyu drank a little wine and showed an approving gaze, "Master Hou's taste is really good." β
Tao Baihe pursed his lips, "Really, I can't make a difference." After speaking, she took another sip, "It's really unpleasant, it's not as good as Sprite." β
"Bai He, don't you always have a temper like a child, okay?" Although Nan Zeyu's face was calm, his tone was not gentle, "Dad died, you can't ask people all over the world to be in the same mood as you, okay?"
Tao Baihe was stunned, "What are you talking about?" she instinctively raised her voice, attracting the attention of several noble ladies.
"First of all, we are guests, and we have to pay attention to the rules when we eat and stay in other people's homes; secondly, I am not wrong, you can't expect these foreigners to cry and cry with you; finally, I hope you remember that you are the wife of a public security chief, and you should pay attention to the place, and don't always let me remind you. Nan Zeyu said expressionlessly.
And these words were in Tao Baihe's ears, and they were so polite that they were almost vicious. She grabbed Nan Zeyu's arm and said with some excitement: "As soon as my dad left, you ...... You're just doing this to me?"
Nan Zeyu sighed, "Bai He, you are 36 years old, can you mature a little?"
Tao Baihe stared at her husband's eyes, wanting to see something, but her husband's gaze was calm and calm, like a deep pool that was not afraid of wind and rain. This made her realize one thing: Nan Zeyu was not joking with her. According to her previous character, she would never give up, at least make a big fuss, but she did not intend to do so at the moment, because she smelled a "warning" from her husband's words.
Her eyes turned red, and she suddenly took a long sip of wine, "I know." Don't be so fierce, look at Mr. Gao's attitude towards Xiaoyou......"
Nan Zeyu sneered, "Are you sure you want me to learn Gao Jin?" Without waiting for his wife to answer, he continued to speak to himself, "I proposed to you at the beginning, but I spoke Chinese, and I also called your name." β
"So what?" Tao Baihe's eyes widened, "I don't speak any other language. Besides, you are originally Chinese, shouldn't you speak Chinese for marriage proposals?"
"Gao Jin and You Jinlan are also Chinese. Nan Zeyu said coldly, "And these two people obviously don't speak English very well." When you listen to Gao Jin speak English, don't you feel like a vegetable seller?"
"Maybe Gao always wants these foreigners to understand, maybe he wants to impress Xiaoyou, or maybe he just wants to pretend. Tao Baihe retorted, "Besides, how do you know that Xiaoyou can't speak English? Didn't she learn painting from a famous foreigner for many years? Even if the foreigner can speak Chinese, then Xiaoyou's English won't be much worse, right? Also, don't forget, she is a teacher at Qianfeng Academy, and those teachers are very powerful!"
Nan Zeyu smiled dumbly, "Bai He, you are always like this...... Simplicity. He swallowed back the word "good deception". "I've never heard You Jinlan speak English anyway, and she never mentions her experience of going abroad. Although she helped Gao Xiangqi call the emergency number yesterday, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe she's using translation software? Now the phone is so smart. Looking at it this way, isn't it weird that Mr. Gao proposed to her in English?"
Tao Baihe thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that Mr. Gao also doubts Xiaoyou's English level, so he wants to test her?"
"Of course not for this reason. Nan Zeyu said, "Have you forgotten the other thing I just said? When he proposed, he didn't call You Jinlan's name! Of course, I'm not sure about that, because I was some distance away from them at the time. But listening to his pronunciation, he did not speak Chinese pinyin. β
"It doesn't seem to be Xiaoyou's name, and I didn't hear it. Tao Baihe touched the tassel of the shawl on his arm, "Could it be that Mr. Gao is embarrassed?"
"He proposed in public, would he be embarrassed to say his name?" Nan Zeyu said sarcastically, "Under normal circumstances, it is best to propose marriage in a language that both people are familiar with, and it is best to say the woman's name, so that it looks solemn and formal." I believe that people like Gao Jin, who have seen the world, will not know this. β
"It's nothing if you don't say the name, right?" Tao Baihe thought for a moment, "but it's a bit strange to speak English." If it's really like you said, deliberately choose a language that is unfamiliar to both of you......"
That shows that Gao Jin doesn't really want to propose. Nan Zeyu said categorically, "I'm just curious, why did he do this to You Jinlan?"
At this time, Gao Jin's laughter sounded from behind Nan Zeyu, "We were talking about the topic of model couples just now, Lord Hou, look, isn't there a ready-made example here!"
Wan Guohou smiled, "Indeed, the wife of the South Hall is a model for my generation. He looked around, "Whether in China or in the United States, sons-in-law like Director Nan are the most popular. β
Nan Zeyu said hello stubbornly, he didn't look at Wan Guohou's expression like he was mocking, and Gao Jin's reaction didn't look like he heard the conversation between him and Tao Baihe, so he patiently exchanged a few words.
Tao Baihe was not interested in their conversation, so he covered his mouth with his hand and yawned.
Seeing this, Yue Shuluo said thoughtfully: "Is Mrs. Nan a little tired?
Tao Baihe nodded, "I'm so embarrassed that I get sleepy when I drink." β
Nan Zeyu didn't want to care about Tao Baihe, but he didn't want people to think that he was too cold to his wife, so he hugged Tao Baihe and said, "I'll send you upstairs." β
The two walked up the stairs together.
Nan Zeyu looked at Tao Baihe with a tired face, and said with a little sympathy: "This kind of routine festival banquet is not important, don't come down for a while, have a good rest." If you are hungry, tell your servant. β
Tao Baihe held the hem of the long skirt with one hand and the wine glass with the other, and said nonchalantly: "I don't speak English, how can I order food with the servant?"
Nan Zeyu knew that she was making fun of herself, so she didn't get angry, she just smiled, "Then you call me, I'll help you." Or, you can just talk to the Moon Manager and ask her to arrange it. β
While talking, the two walked up to the third floor. Tao Baihe stopped in front of a window in the hallway, "It's snowing again." β
"yes, it's been a long time since it's snowed so heavily in the Demon Capital. Nan Zeyu's expression became a little softer, as if he recalled something good.
"It's a pity that Dad can't see such a beautiful scenery. Tao Baihe said, sobbing in a low voice. "I don't understand, why can't the windows be opened from the outside, there are no suspicious people in the surveillance, and there are no fingerprints in the room, isn't this nonsense? The United States has so advanced science and technology, and the police's detection technology should be the most advanced!" Tao Baihe said with a suspension, "Why can't the murderer be caught?"
Nan Zeyu grabbed her shoulder helplessly, "I went to the police station today, and the police also said that the DNA test did not find anything abnormal." You don't have to worry about it anymore, okay?" he slowed down, "Pick up Dad early and go home to the earth." β
"I don't want to go back. Tao Baihe cried louder and louder, "After you go back, you must be working endlessly again, and Jiaojiao is either going to announcements, performances, or classes." You are all busy with your own things, what should I do? Let me be in a daze at home to Mother Tong?"
Nan Zeyu frowned a little apprehensively, "You want to go out to work?"
Tao Baihe shook his head.
"You...... You don't want to go back to school, do you?"
"How is that possible!" Tao Baihe stopped crying, "I'm just annoying, annoyed to death." She stared at Nan Zeyu with red eyes, and then said something that surprised the latter, "Why don't we have another child?"
"When did I say I wanted a son? You're too sad and confused, aren't you?" Nan Ze Yuban's face rose, "Bai He, don't always mess with me, I also have a lot of things to do, and I can't always take care of your emotions." β
"Why can't you? just because my dad died?" Tao Baihe's eyes were filled with tears, "Are you marrying me, or are you marrying my dad?"
A cold light flashed in Nan Zeyu's eyes, "Don't mention 02 years to me." β
Tao Baihe wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, "What's the matter?
"At the beginning, who chased me despite the fact that I had a boyfriend? Who said that they didn't care how long they waited for me, as long as I was willing to give me a chance? Who did everything possible to give me gifts and make me happy? And who followed my dad all day long and tried his best to show himself?" Tao Baihe said with a sense of wine, "Hmph, you weren't the only choice I had at the beginning!"
Nan Zeyu's face sank, "You're drunk." β
"I'm sober. Tao Baihe suddenly smiled, "What you did, I know very well." If I hadn't married you, I wouldn't have caused him to go to jail, let alone let him lose his life in vain!"
"Tao Baihe!" Nan Zeyu shouted sharply, "If you talk nonsense again, I'm welcome!"
"Okay, do you want to scold me, or beat me?" Tao Baihe raised his face, "Others still praise us as a model couple, hahaha, it's a big joke!"
There was a "bang" sound, which startled the two of them. The two of them turned around together and saw Nan Zejiao standing at the end of the hallwayβa broken vase at her feet.
Nan Zeyu glared at his wife fiercely, he didn't know how much his daughter had heard, so he had to put on a smiling face first, "Jiaojiao, you've been sleeping for most of the day, are you hungry?"
Nan Zejiao rubbed her eyes blankly, "What time is it?"
"A quarter past six. Tao Baihe walked quickly to her daughter's side, "Are you hurt?"
"Nope. Nan Zejiao still looked ignorant, as if she hadn't woken up yet. "What's the music down there?"
"Today is Valentine's Day, and Hou Ye arranged a banquet very early. Tao Baihe hurriedly said, "They won't play late, if you are noisy, I will change your room?"
"No, I've slept enough. Nan Zejiao stretched, "It's just a little hungry, I'll wait to change my clothes and go down to eat something." β
"Then I'll go with you. Tao Baihe protected Nan Zejiao as if she was afraid that her daughter would be snatched away, "Let's go, mom will accompany you to change your clothes." β
Nan Zejiao glanced at her vigilantly, and then looked at Nan Zeyu, "Dad, what were you talking about just now?" β
"Nothing. Nan Zeyu reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "We are talking about Teacher You, just now your Uncle Gao proposed to Teacher You." β
"Ah!" Nan Zejiao said in surprise, "that Sister Xiangxiang must be very happy." She turned her head to look out the window, "It's still snowing, when is it going to be?"
"What's wrong? You want to go out and play?" Nan Zeyu took the opportunity to take a step forward, "I'll drive you out now?"
"I don't want to play. Nan Zejiao said, "I want to go to the hospital to see Sister Xiangxiang, she should be awake." β
"Your Uncle Gao went to see it in the morning, and it seems that the condition is okay, maybe he will be discharged from the hospital in two days. Tao Baihe interjected, "It's cold outside, just stay honest, don't toss the cold, you have to be busy when you return home." β
At this moment, in the hall, Wan Guohou's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, and said "unaccompanied" to Gao Jin, and then walked out of the hall and entered the corridor. Seeing that there was no one left and right, he pressed the answer button.
"I've found Xiyuan Temple, Master Hou. "The person who spoke was E1, and he seemed to be in an environment where it was not convenient to speak, as he spoke German and was not loud.
"Good. How much longer?" asked Wan Guohou in German.
"I'll do it as soon as possible. β
"Is there a harvest over there in the Vatican?" Wan Guohou glanced at his watch.
"I'm sorry, Master Hou. E1 was a little ashamed, "I didn't find a clear mention of 'R'. β
"It's okay, it's not your fault. Wan Guohou comforted E1 a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Master Hou. Yue Shuluo appeared in front of Wan Guohou with a tray, "I can find you." This is green cane juice, and you'd better drink a little. β
Wan Guohou looked at the strangely colored liquid and frowned, "I haven't drunk much. β
Yue Shuluo saw Wan Guohou's resistance, "Then I'll change it to yogurt for you?"
Wan Guohou couldn't help laughing, "Manager Yue, are you taking care of me as a three-year-old child?"
Yue Shuluo pursed her lips and smiled, "Who made you always fail to take care of yourself?"
This sentence made Wan Guohou's heart move, "Manager Yue, have you read "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"Of course I did. Yueshuluo nodded.
"When I saw Nan Zeyu and his wife just now, I suddenly thought of "Dream of Red Mansions". Wan Guohou said with emotion.
"The sycamore leaves fall and part, and the loving husband and wife do not come to winter. Originally, it was used to describe the 'Bamboo Lady', a cool utensil, but it was also quite suitable for the head of the South Hall and his wife. β
Wan Guohou laughed heartily, "You are really a good person, I haven't said Mrs. Zhu yet, you can guess what I mean." He looked at the moon with admiration, "It's good that you're not my enemy." β
Yue Shuluo's expression was as usual, "Master Hou, you always like to joke with me, and you are not afraid of me being angry." β
