Chapter 239: These Sweetness
Early the next morning, before I woke up, I ran to my bed, lifted the quilt and got in by myself. I was sleeping soundly, and there was a soft and fragrant little cute thing in my arms, and I woke up at once.
"Mom, send me to school. Doubao saw that I was awake and sat up as well.
I looked at the bean bags in the morning light, and the small fluff on my face was clearly visible. The light at this moment, looking at him like an angel.
I hugged him and couldn't help but kiss him and said, "Since you're awake, you go wash your face and brush your teeth by yourself, and Mom will simply clean up and make breakfast for you." Want to eat something?"
"Pancakes, soy milk and small fritters. Doubao said quickly.
"Okay, Mom will do it right away. "I put him on the ground.
I washed my face and walked downstairs, and when I got down the stairs, I saw Aunt Wang cleaning up the living room, she looked up and said to me, "Tao Ran, it's early." β
"I'll cook this morning. I said, "Take a break, don't worry about the cook." β
She smiled: "You go and see, someone is cooking, and they have all kicked me out." β
I thought it was Luo Xiaotian, and said as I walked towards the kitchen: "Why don't you rest for a while, you slept so late last night......"
Walking to the kitchen door, I saw the people inside clearly, and I was stunned for a moment. At the same time, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you there?" I asked.
I could feel it myself, my tone became soft and soft, and I felt a little embarrassed.
Busy in the kitchen was Gu Yixiao.
He looked up at me, and then slowly walked up to me, both hands were full of water and didn't touch me, just kissed me on the forehead with his mouth and said, "I basically didn't sleep last night, and I couldn't sleep, my heart was full of you, and there was a saying that made me laugh when I thought of you, and now I know what state it is." β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing: "Wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon." β
I didn't want to get out of the kitchen, so I just stood by and watched him cook. He was busy and gave me a smile from time to time.
After a while, Doubao ran down from upstairs, looked at the kitchen door, and immediately said, "Uncle Gu, why are you here?"
"I'm going to cook for you and your mother. Gu Yixiao said naturally.
"Has Uncle Gu reconciled with his mother again?" asked Doubao.
Doubao now knows a little bit about the feelings between men and women, so he asked very professionally.
"yes, it's going to be better forever. Gu Yi said with a smile.
Although he spoke to the bean bag, his serious tone was not a little ambiguous.
"Not necessarily, Uncle Duan said the same thing at that time. In the end, before I could understand what was going on, Uncle Duan divorced his mother. Shorter than the time my dad and mom spent together. "The beans are full of disbelief.
"I won't, I promise. Gu Yi said with a smile.
At this time, Luo Xiaotian also got up, of course, he also saw that Gu Yixiao was busy, he called me in the living room and said, "Tao Ran, you came out for a while?"
Gu Yixiao was a little worried when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "Luo Xiaotian doesn't seem to have a good impression of me." β
"I'll do it to you. I finished and left the kitchen with a smile.
Luo Xiaotian looked at Gu Yi and said to me in a low voice: "I came so late last night, and I came again this morning, this kid didn't get chicken blood, right?"
His tone was very funny, and I couldn't help laughing: "Dad, what do you say, even if he is beaten with chicken blood, it is normal." If you don't fight now, how will you live so many ordinary days in the future?"
He smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to accept the ordinary days in the future." β
"No, I've been through marriage and know what comes after passion. I said.
He nodded and said, "It's good to know." β
Gu Yixiao's level of making breakfast has increased, at least this meal is better than before. After eating the bean bun, he praised him: "Uncle Gu, keep up the good work." β
Gu Yixiao patted his head and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, you have grown up now, and you look like a little adult." I'll send you this morning, how about sending you to your mother after sending you off?"
"No, you don't. Doubao flatly refused, "I want to be quiet and alone with my mother for a while." This morning, no one was able to go to school with me except my mother. β
His serious appearance made everyone laugh.
In the end, I had to deliver the bean bags myself.
After I handed the bean bag to the teacher, I looked back and saw Gu Yixiao. He drove behind me and I knew it, but I just didn't say anything.
He saw that there were no children at the entrance of the kindergarten, so he stepped forward and hugged me hard, kissed me on the face, and then reluctantly let go of his hand and said: "I have experienced it if I don't see each other for a day." If it weren't for this plane crash, I'd still be suffering by myself. β
It turns out that the person you love is by your side, and this kind of steadfastness is incomparable to anything else.
Gu Yixiao sent me to the company, and I got tired of being downstairs for more than ten minutes before finally having to drive away. We have been away from Beijing for more than a week, and the company has a lot of things to deal with urgently.
I walked to the office, thinking of Gu Yixiao's entangled expression of reluctance to go, I couldn't help but smile again.
Liu Shuang happened to come in to deliver something to me, and when he saw me, he smiled and said curiously: "Mr. Tao, others have experienced the airplane ministry and are all shocked, why do you seem to have won five million." β
"That is, it is much harder to encounter such a thing than to win five million. I laughed.
Liu Shuang was even more puzzled, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really harder than five million." The lottery jackpot is twice a week, and this kind of thing may not happen once in a few years. β
"What are the most urgent things?" I asked.
She placed one of the stacks of papers on my desk, flipped through the folders, and spoke one by one. Liu Shuang is much more handy now than before, and many things can be screened for me in advance, instead of handing over all the documents to me in a hurry like when I first became my assistant.
One morning, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink water.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Shuang knocked on the door of my office with a fax and said: "Mr. Tao, Yiran Technology has recently sent a letter of intent for cooperation. β
I took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was sent by Yiran Company.
After thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood that this was done by Gu Yixiao. If he hadn't nodded, who would have dared to mention cooperating with KB.
"Drop it, I'll take care of it. I said.
Liu Shuang couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Mr. Tao, are you reconciled with the little president Gu Yixiao?"
I glanced at her, "Why do you ask?"
She pointed to my hand and said, "This is all out, isn't it reconciliation?"
She knew some things about me and Gu Yixiao, so it was not surprising that she could guess it. So he put down his things and said to her: "Actually, it's not a reconciliation, it's just a little misunderstanding before." If you're in the know, don't talk nonsense. No one knows what will happen in the future, and I don't want any rumors to come out. What's more, women have a lot to do besides love and marriage. β
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tao, I understand." β
After I finished talking to her, I immediately called Gu Yixiao: "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't lack your list, although KB's business has not grown particularly much, it is not bad." β
"I'm anxious about your list. Gu Yixiao smiled happily on the phone, I can imagine it when I listen to his voice, his eyebrows and eyes are laughing together.
"What are you anxious about?" I asked, "You are Party A, and how many communication companies want to cooperate with you now." β
"I don't like it, B is the vane of the industry, so I naturally choose to cooperate with you. Some time ago, I was looking for other companies in a fit of rage. Gu Yi said happily.
The ease of his tone made me feel very relaxed, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Yixiao said hatefully on the phone: "Tao Ran, is it fun to make fun of me?"
"yes, it's fun. I said.
He wanted to pretend to be angry, but he couldn't help but laugh. When the laughter subsided, he whispered, "Tao Ran, I miss you." β
"Hmm. I answered.
"What about you?" he asked.
"What's wrong with me?" I deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Then you wait, I'll go to you now, and I'll talk about cooperation. After Gu Yixiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly without waiting for me to react.
When I called again, it was already busy.
I thought he was joking, so I put it aside and treated it as a joke. Who knew that at half past four, Liu Shuang came to me and said: "Mr. Tao, Mr. Gu of Yiran Technology came to visit the company, and he said that he came to discuss cooperation." β
Before Liu Shuang's words fell, Gu Yixiao walked over with his team.
"Mr. Gu. Liu Shuang screamed in embarrassment.
Gu Yixiao waved his hand at her and said, "It's none of your business, if Mr. Tao is to blame, I'll take care of it." β
"Liu Shuang, let's prepare the conference room. I stopped Liu Shuang, who looked embarrassed.
She opened the small conference room next to the president's office, let Gu Yixiao and the others in, and then went to prepare the materials for the negotiation and asked the aunt to prepare tea.
Gu Yixiao's subordinate walked into the conference room, but he turned around and came to my office.
"In such a hurry?" I looked at him with a smirk.
He walked up to me, hugged me as if punishing, and said, "Lest you have too many dreams at night, the anti-cooperation will be finalized first, and you will not fail to earn the money sent to the door anyway." In case we get into a fight, I'll come to you with my job. β
"You're thinking a long way out, and you're still thinking about quarrels?" I asked.
"Wherever it is, it's just in case. He laughs.
I know it's naΓ―ve to say these unnutritious words, but I can't help but be naΓ―ve. Gu Yixiao also tolerated my naivety, and continued: "Your heart is under the needle, sometimes I really can't understand it, so I have to leave a way back for myself in advance." β
I smiled too, and snuggled up in his arms.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and with this voice, Liu Shuang pushed the door open: "Mr. Tao...... Ah, I'm sorry. β
She saw a scene in the office and immediately retreated.
I was still very dignified in front of the employees, so I felt extremely embarrassed this time, pushed Gu away and said with a smile: "Come on, tomorrow everyone in the company will know that I have a new love." β
"It's okay, if they don't know clearly, I'll go and promote the name of my new love is Gu Yixiao. He said.
I called Liu Shuang and knew that now the meeting materials were ready and I could go to the meeting.
There are only seven people in the whole conference room, three people on each side to negotiate, and Liu Shuang in our company has Liu Shuang to do the meeting minutes.
During the whole meeting, Gu Yixiao kept looking at me unscrupulously, which made me feel like I was on pins and needles.
However, all the conditions of cooperation were negotiated extremely smoothly, as long as it was proposed by us, Gu Yixiao agreed without hesitation. I obviously saw that his two assistants didn't just glance at each other, and they probably felt that Mr. Gu, who had always been shrewd, had a brain in water today.
After the negotiations were over, it was half past six in the afternoon.
Originally, in this case, all the people involved in this project in both companies should go out to have a meal together and celebrate, but Gu Yixiao did not play cards according to common sense, and said directly: "Let's go back first after a busy day, and wait until this weekend, let's have a good dinner with the people of KB Company." β
As soon as his words came out, people on our side of the company were a little at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, Liu Shuang knew the origin of the matter, and explained with a smile: "There are still some supplementary agreements that need to be finalized afterwards, so that's all for today." β
Everyone began to walk outside, and Gu Yixiao stayed until the end. When Liu Shuang walked to the door, he turned around and smiled at me, and quietly made a fist cheering motion.
I felt even more embarrassed, it turned out that I still couldn't hide my feelings at this age.
After getting off work with Gu Yixiao, I naturally don't have to drive. However, because I got off the shift an hour late, I got stuck in a traffic jam as soon as I got out of the building. Normally, it is indescribable irritability to see such a traffic jam, but today my heart is unusually quiet, and even a little happy.
I was afraid that Gu Yixiao would see my careful thoughts, so I secretly glanced at him, but he happened to be looking at me, and there were stars of joy in his eyes.
"Where?" I pretended to look out the window and changed the subject.
"You can go anywhere, or you'll be stuck in traffic jams. Gu Yi smiled in a smiling voice.
He was driving the car and chatting with me for a while, when he suddenly stopped at an unfamiliar street corner, pointed to the humble rice noodle shop on the corner and said, "This one has been on a food show, saying that it is a Michelin hidden in the alley, do you want to try it, you love rice noodles the most." β
"Good. I answered sharply, pushed the door open and got out of the car with him.
He got out of the car and went around in a half-circle, walked up to me, grabbed my hand, and said, "Let's go." β
It turned out that he walked half a lap more just to hold my hand.
There were a lot of people in the shop, most of them young couples who were more than ten years younger than us, sitting facing each other, laughing loudly, and the likes in their eyes were blatant.
Gu Yixiao ordered two servings of rice noodles at the cash register, then came to sit down across from me, reached under the table, and grabbed my hand.
"For the shredded chicken noodles you like, I also added two eggs and ordered an extra hot and sour bamboo shoots. He laughs.
"What do you eat?" I asked.
"Same as you. His eyes narrowed, "Later, after I separated from you, I realized that what you ate was delicious." β
I looked at him, and he looked at me, his hands clasped tightly under the table.
We ate a meal of rice noodles for 40 minutes, and we felt that it was really delicious.
He sent me home, saw that I was about to enter the door, pulled me into his arms, hugged me hard, then kissed me on the forehead again, and whispered, "Go to bed early, see you tomorrow." β
I looked at him, and suddenly kissed him on the cheek and said, "Goodbye." β
After I finished speaking, I walked out a few steps, and Gu Yixiao grabbed my hand again, and he said viciously: "Tao Ran, you are forcing me to make mistakes." β
"What did you do wrong?" I asked.
"Knowingly asked. He kissed me again as if punishing.
I smiled, broke away from his hand and walked briskly down the steps, pushing open the door and waving back to him. He stood at the bottom of the steps, the street lamp on the side was half bright and half dark, and his face was also half bright and half blurred, looking at the past like this, the temptation was indescribable.
"Go to bed early. He waved his hand at me again.
I went in at once, though reluctantly. I knew that if I continued to smell like this at the door, I would at least be able to drag out the goodbye for an hour.
"Mom. The sudden cry of the bean bun startled me when I first entered the house.
I looked up and saw that he was sitting on the couch and staring at me blankly.
"Have you eaten?" I asked.
"You've already eaten, Mom, what are you doing coming and going at the door just now?" asked Doubao.
My face turned red all at once.
The most embarrassing thing in life is that when you fall in love, you have your own children standing next to you.
"When I came up, I realized that I had forgotten to take something, so I went to get it again. I said.
"Did you forget the kiss for Uncle Gu?" he asked again.
I want to bury my head in the sand now, how can this little thing speak so directly. Fortunately, when I couldn't find the bottom of the steps, Luo Xiaotian walked down slowly from upstairs and said to Doubao: "Doubao, the phone upstairs is ringing, and a girl with a shiso is looking for you." β
As soon as Doubao heard this, he immediately stood up and ran upstairs.
I looked at Luo Xiaotian and felt even more embarrassed in my heart.
He didn't say a word, but said directly: "Tao Ran, your company is on the right track now, and no one should be looking for trouble with you in a short time." I'm going back to Hong Kong, and this time it's probably going to take a month or two. However, before I go back, there is something I want to talk to you about. Then, I'll give you a week to think about it. As long as you make your decision, I respect your decision. β
"Dad, you're too serious, you scare me. I said.
"Sit down and talk. He sat down in front of me and patted the couch next to him.
Aunt Wang made tea and brought it to him, he poured me a cup and said, "I am not as good as before in terms of physical and mental strength, so I am going to go to the United States to make one last deal, and then I will stop doing it." Now, I don't have a company under my name, but I have the qualifications to be a director of more than a dozen companies, many of which are ranked among the world's top 500 leading companies, so your father and I are still very rich. Now, my plan is to divide my money into three parts after retirement, and one part will be reserved for myself to eat, drink, and have fun. Part of it is for you, and part of it is for the little boy. He's still young, and I guess I'll be dead when I'm an adult, and if he has any problems, you can help him. I also thought of this, and wanted to put the part of the money that the little boy deserves in your hands, and you will take care of it for him, and then hand it over to him when he becomes an adult. β
"That's not right, you can actually find a trust fund to do this. I said.
No matter how much I don't like the little boy, half of his blood is the same as mine. However, his mother is Sheng Qingjin, and if I really take over the money, Sheng Qingjin alone can annoy me to death.
"Are you worried about Sheng Qingjin, right?" Luo Xiaotian asked.
"Yes, the legal guardian of her little boy, the money is in my hands, and she will definitely not accept it. I said.
"As long as you agree, I'll settle her side of the matter. Since I'm going to entrust this matter to you, I'll naturally take care of those things that you have scruples about. Luo Xiaotian said.
I'm still thinking that if this child was born to someone else, I would definitely not hesitate. However, because his mother is Sheng Qingjin, I hate this person in my heart, so I naturally don't want to.
"I know what you're hesitating about, but, then again. Luo Xiaotian paused, "The feeling between me and you is getting better and better now, when this child grows up, if he really achieves nothing and can't do anything, will you care?"
When he said this, he looked at me word by word and said, "With what I know about you, you will definitely take care of it." However, I handed over the money to Sheng Qing Jinguan, and it is estimated that not much can be used on the child. What's more, she now has her own family, how much affection can she use for the little boy. In addition, she had no relationship with me at all, and she was with me for a few months for money. I know all of this. If Sheng Qingjin squandered Xiao Zi'er's money, and Xiao Zi'er came to you, wouldn't you have to pay out of your own pocket?"
What Luo Xiaotian said makes sense.
I hadn't thought about it that much before.
I have no feelings for Xiao Zi'er, but looking at Luo Xiaotian's current age and his physical condition, his words are very reasonable.
"If you think about it again, don't rush to give me an answer. A week later, I left Beijing, and you will give me an answer before leaving. In this way, I can prepare when I go back. Luo Xiaotian said.
"Okay, I'll think about it. "I mean it.
He looked at me and continued, "There is another question, if you are not interested in my directorships and equity in those companies, I can move it all to you. β
"Which companies?" I asked.
He thought about it for a moment and said a series of company names that made me feel like thunder.
"I still have to think about this. "I'll be honest.
He said that with my energy and time, I felt like I couldn't play with these companies. The stall is too big, and if you only keep the equity in your hands to distribute dividends, it is not a big problem. However, if I enter the board of directors, I will not have enough time and energy, and as for the ability, I am not sure.
"That's something you need to think about. Luo Xiaotian said.
"What you've given me is a problem. I looked at him and shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Actually, I think you can work for a few more years at your age." β
"After a few more years, these things will be the same in the end, so it's better to make a decision in advance. Also, I have been busy all my life, and now I see that you know that I have a successor, and my heart is relaxed, and I have had a good rest for two years before I die. Luo Xiaotian said again.
His words touched me a lot, and finally said: "You are still young, and your youngest son is just over a year old, so don't talk about death and death every day." β
"My body, I know. Luo Xiaotian said and took a sip of water, then sighed and said, "Over the years, I have no home, no one to take care of, my work and rest are not normal at all, and it was common to work overtime all night a year ago." So, my body is already empty. β
"Okay, then you don't do it, there's enough money to spend anyway. I laughed, "In case it's not enough, I'll raise you." β
He stared at me for a long time before saying, "I haven't regretted it all these years, and I only began to regret it after seeing you, the first regret was that I didn't keep your mother back then, and the second regret was that I didn't keep you by my side back then." Third, I regret that I couldn't grow up with you in this life, which made you suffer a lot. β
His words were so flat that they made me cry.
I looked at him and really cried.
