19. Chapter 19
In the crowded waiting room of Palermo Airport, a little girl with two dull ears on her head, holding her beloved black dog doll sitting on a chair and swinging her legs, she raised her head from time to time to look around, and then hung her head in disappointment, as if waiting for something.
Her anxious look was seen by someone who entered the waiting room.
The person who came came over and asked in a deep voice in standard neon language, "Excuse me, is it my wife?" β
Hearing someone calling her surname, the hedgehog sitting on the chair raised her head, she looked at the tall purple-haired young man in front of her, hugged the doll in her arms in fear, and responded in a low voice in the native Italian language: "Hug, sorry sir, I don't know what you're talking about......"
"So, may I ask if my wife, Mr. Jie, is your father?" The young man didn't give up at all, and continued to ask in neon.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know what you're talking about...... hedgehog looked up again, went to look for his mother who had gone to the bathroom and hadn't come back yet, and then warned in Italian: "Sir, if you continue to pester me, I will call the guard." β
The purple-haired youth was silent for a while, then gave up his neon language and introduced himself directly in Italian: "I am Giulio di Bondona, and I am here to pick you up on the orders of Mr. Gian Carlo. Where is my wife? β
Seeing that the other party did not give up, the hedgehog did not dare to admit that he was the person he was looking for. Who knows what the other party will do, whether he will arrest her and threaten my wife's father to work or something.
Faced with his father's work, the unexpectedly calm hedgehog continued to deny: "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about. β
"Really?" The young man stared at the little girl with his head hanging down expressionlessly, and then asked, "Then, if I offend you a little, the lady who is hiding in the dark and staring at me should come out, right?" β
The young man didn't seem to want to waste any more time, so he stepped forward and grabbed the hedgehog's injured wrist and warned, "If you don't want your arm to be broken again, please don't struggle and move." β
"Hedgehog!"
When my wife's mother saw her baby daughter froze in fright, and didn't care that exposure would cause trouble to her, she immediately ran out of the corner and waved her hand at her baby daughter to tell her not to struggle.
When the young man saw my wife's mother appear, he immediately let go of the hand holding the hedgehog, he took out his ID and showed it to the guards who were coming around, and after sending them away, he said: "Hello my wife, I am Giulio di Bondona, on the orders of Mr. Gian Carlo and on the commission of my wife, I have come to pick up your mother and daughter to our base. It was a faux pas. He bowed apologetically.
"You and my husband him?"
"It's the relationship between acquaintances and subordinates."
Hearing the other party's answer, my wife's mother relaxed, and said to the hedgehog who was still on alert comfortingly: "It's okay baby, it's someone my father knows, and my mother has called to confirm it before." β
"Really?" The hedgehog also looked at the young man in front of him with some suspicion, my wife's father's work is often accompanied by danger, which is why she denied it just now.
The hedgehog didn't want to cause trouble for his father's work.
After quickly distancing himself from the person in front of him, the hedgehog ran over and grabbed my wife's mother's hand, and then quickly ducked behind her, revealing his head and peeking at the person opposite.
Julio glanced down at the little girl who was afraid of him, then retracted his gaze and said, "Then, please follow me to the base." After that, the gentleman contracted all the luggage handling.
As soon as he got out of the waiting room, the man in the suit who was waiting outside took over the work in Julio's hands, and then respectfully led the people who went out to the door. There were five black cars parked on the side of the road he led, and around each car stood four men in suits, and only the one sandwiched in the middle was unmanned.
Until she got into the middle car, the hedgehog was a little incredulous, and she looked at her mother only for a silent shrug in reply.
The car soon drove into the forest and came to a large meadow with a castle in the center, which resembled the German Neuschwanstein Castle. After walking in, the hedgehog realized that he was wrong, the garden of this castle is greener than the new swan, the road is a small stone road, and the garden is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, it feels like walking into a dream forest.
And the decoration after entering the castle is like a blind hedgehog's eyes.
Everything is golden, the foyer has a high ceiling, and the staircase is the arc of the TV set.
"Cool." The hedgehog let out a sigh, and the whole person had been swept up in the gorgeous decoration in front of him and couldn't extricate himself. If it weren't for my wife's mother holding her hand, she would have stopped here and stared up at the stained glass to see what the pattern meant.
"Julio, you're back."
"Mr. Ji'an!"
A cheerful greeting called the hedgehog back to distraction, and she watched as she scurried out of her to meet the people coming down from the upper floor. She couldn't believe it was the big brother who picked them up here today! Obviously, he used to look like a businessman, but now he uses his height advantage to cover people like a large dog. Even if he didn't look at it, the hedgehog believed that he must have a very sunny expression begging for praise, which was like the cold appearance before!
"Thank you, Julio." The visitor reached out and touched Julio's head, praising him for his excellent workability. Then, flashing out, he came over and said, "The bedroom is ready for the two of you, let's go and rest first after the fatigue of the journey, and we'll talk about it in detail at dinner." β
Blonde hair and eyes, a slim black suit. Because of his smile, his whole body was golden and exuded a very gentle aura.
The hedgehog, who had been very rude all the way, blushed uncontrollably, and couldn't care about being excited about being able to live in the castle tonight. She muttered uncontrollably as if she had been spelled, "Like a prince......"
Yes, there is a castle or something, of course, there must be a prince who lives in the castle.
The visitor seemed to hear the hedgehog's whispered exclamation, smiled even brighter at the blushing little girl in front of him, bent down and made an invitation to dance and said, "Little Miss, can I have the honor to invite you to visit my castle?" β
"Mom'......" The red-faced hedgehog didn't forget to ask for her mother's Jianyì, of course, there was only one 'Please let me go' in her eyes.' information.
Helplessly, my wife's mother rubbed her baby daughter's head and instructed, "Be obedient." β
"Hmm!" The hedgehog was a little excited and a little scared, carefully put his little hand on the other party's big hand, and watched his mother go upstairs to rest, and then followed the other party to the castle.
"So, what is the name of the little lady?"
"Hedgehog!" The hedgehog reflexively responded loudly, and suddenly felt that it was too rude for him to be like this, and he hung his head ruddy and didn't dare to look at the other party, and explained in a low voice: "I mean, I, my wife hedgehog...... Call, just call me a hedgehog. β
"Yes, Miss Hedgehog, my name is Gian Carlo, you can call me Gian." Ji'an said, sneaking a little bit of the hedgehog's dull hair like ears, and after making sure that it was really dull hair, he began to wonder how the stupid hair could shake according to the mood of the owner.
"Yes, yes! Ji, Gianoni sauce? The hedgehog's nervous fur straightened, making Ji'an beside him even more interested.
"Mr. Gi'an......" Giulio called expectantly as he looked at the two holding hands.
Jian looked back at Julio, who looked like an abandoned dog, waved his hand and said, "Let's be alone for a while, Julio is also tired on the road, go and take a rest." β
"It's ......" Julio, who failed to rob people, went upstairs obediently.
And the hedgehog, who succeeded in snatching, watched the back of Julio with his head drooping. She clearly felt that the other party disappeared in front of the staircase, and glanced at this side with envy and hatred. That look made people feel cold, and the hedgehog couldn't help shaking.
"Let's go."
Ji'an's voice made the hedgehog regain a little warmth.
"Okay, Gianoni-chan."
When he really walked around the castle, he felt that he was still too naΓ―ve, a work of art in five steps or something, it was like visiting a museum.
"It's amazing." The hedgehog stared blankly at the huge oil painting hanging in the living room, not knowing what to say. She didn't know how to appreciate this kind of art, but she always felt very powerful.
"Ah, it was bought by Bernardo, saying that it was more upscale to decorate an empty place." Ji An explained, asked the maid to serve tea and snacks, and went to greet the little girl who was still looking at the painting, and said, "Little Miss has come to eat dessert." β
The hedgehog, who liked snacks the most, immediately ran over and sat down, and began to nibble on biscuits like a little squirrel.
Ji An held his chin to observe the little guy's eating, touched the hedgehog's head again with itchy hands, and whispered to himself: "It really looks like a ring sauce, the same hair color and eye color." β
The hedgehog stopped nibbling on the biscuits and looked up suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Gianoni sauce? β
"Ahh Ji'an was taken aback, quickly came back to his senses, poured a cup of black tea, handed it to the hedgehog and said, "Drink it, I asked them to make special black tea, I don't know if you like it or not." β
"Oh." The hedgehog sensibly didn't pursue the truth, and when he didn't see Ji'an's expression just now, he was obviously thinking about something.
The hedgehog took the teacup and blew lightly, taking a small sip, "It's delicious!" "The fragrance of the tea also has a hint of sweetness, which makes people feel very happy.
I really want to live here for the rest of my life!
The hedgehog, who fell into luxury, finished eating the cake with a happy face, and after a while, his little belly bulged, and he was taken to the garden for a walk by Ji'an to eat.
After eating and drinking, the hedgehog, tired for a day, began to feel sleepy, sat on a white bench in the garden and rubbed his eyes, and soon passed in a daze.
In a daze, the hedgehog felt a piece of clothing on his body, and then was hugged into Ji'an's arms, and someone around him was talking in a low voice.
Gian's voice rang out and said, "Luchino? I came back early today. β
"What, it turned out to be the boss, how could it be possible to come back so early, I didn't return after working all night." The man complained, as if he was smoking, and the hedgehog smelled a hint of sweet smoke that was not pungent, and then the man asked, "Who is this little girl?" β
"The daughter of the sauce breaker."
"Really? I really didn't expect him to give birth to such a lovely daughter. The man teased, and after another "tsk", he didn't know what he was doing.
There was only the sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the garden, and then a gust of wind blew across the hedgehog's face, and a piece of clothing covered her head tightly.
The visitor began to blame again: "Even if it's not cold now, you will catch a cold if you wear a shirt and hold a stove." For those of us who are tired and tired, and you have to worry about your health, think about how to boss. β
"I'm worried about you, Luchino." Ji An smiled helplessly, "You're tired for a day, go and rest." β
"Wait a minute, I still have something to discuss with Bernardo, where is he now?"
Ji An jokingly replied, "Now, I guess the mortuary is in the liaison room." β
"Then I'm leaving." After greeting the visitors, he left the garden as lightly as he could.
The garden was quiet again, and the hedgehog was in a daze, and when he heard Ji'an yawn, he said enviously: "Ha~!" It's so good, little kid, I'm sleepy when I see you sleeping so comfortably......" After speaking, the hedgehog felt his curled hands and feet stretch out.
Ji An directly hugged the hedgehog and relaxed on the chair, and fell asleep in a daze with the little guy in his arms.
It wasn't until nightfall that the two of them were frozen from the falling temperatures and went back to the castle for dinner.
Because Ji'an wanted to talk to my wife and mother about something that belonged to adults at the dinner table, the hedgehog was too young to join, so I could only eat dinner alone in the room, and only after my wife and mother returned to the room after the meal was allowed to go downstairs to play.
The hedgehog, who was finally freed, ran to the living room to find Ji'an as soon as possible.
However, at this time, there was not only one in the living room, there were four other people sitting on the sofa around Ji'an, one of them was Julio, who had met him, and the other was pink-haired, and the hedgehog knew that it was the person who put on a coat for Ji'an in the garden, and his name was remembered as "Luchino".
Of the remaining two, one has long green hair and the other has very short blue hair.
Hedgehog guessed that one of the two should be Bernardo, right?
ββ¦β¦ Gianoni sauce. The hedgehog leaned against the door frame and whispered, and when she saw Ji'an waving to her, she dared to run over and directly occupy his lap and sit down.
After sitting down, the hedgehog clearly felt that Julio's body overflowed with an aura called "I am resentful".
"You're really a kid." Luchino, who was cross-legged, teased, looked at the hedgehog that looked at him curiously, and introduced himself: "My name is Luchino Gregoretti. Hello, little girl. As he spoke, he got up and wanted to give the hedgehog a kiss, but it didn't work out, so the hedgehog dodged.
"Haha, there are times when invincible people are deflated." The green-haired and bespectacled youth made a sarcastic remark, causing the corners of Luchino's mouth to twitch several times. Then, with a gentle smile at the hedgehog, he introduced himself: "I'm Bernardo Ottolani, hello, lovely young lady. β
"You, hello." The hedgehog, who was not used to these people, hid directly behind Ji'an and acted as his small cushion.
The last blue-haired young man scratched his head unhappily and said in a bad temper: "Ferrey." β
"Name?" As soon as he finished speaking, the other four asked in unison.
"Tsk, there's no need to know the name, she's not ......"
Ivan wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Bernardo's words, and was almost choked to death by the other party, "What a poor little girl, I obviously hope to get along with you but can't get your full name, and in the end I can only call you pitifully Ferrefele." β
"Hmm."
"It's rude not to tell someone your full name." Even Ji'an was dissatisfied.
"I see." The blue-haired young man turned his head and introduced himself again in a low voice: "I, Ivan Ferret......"
The hedgehog quietly poked his head out from behind Ji'an, looked at Ivan, who didn't know whether he was blushing because of anger, or blushing because of shyness, and shouted with a sweet smile: "Oni-chan." β
"Oh oh, that's cute! He's calling us Ernie sauce. Lukino seemed to be cute, and reached out to pick up the hedgehog, but was slapped away by Gian.
Bernardo unceremoniously cooperated with Ji An and said, "Luchino, you are very much like a strange Shu Huang now. β
"Poof!"
Ivan unceremoniously rolled onto the sofa and lay on his stomach, in order not to be too rude, he desperately endured until his shoulders trembled, and even Julio, who sat on the side and rarely showed his mood, curled the corners of his mouth.
"It's noisy! I'm only twenty-nine years old, okay?! Luchino retorted, unceremoniously revealing his companion's bottom and saying, "Thirty-three-year-old grandfather Bernardo! β
"Ahh Gian, who was the hedgehog alone, whispered viciously, and he said to Bernardo encouragingly, "Honey, come on." β
"Leave it to me, Darling." Bernardo winked and continued to discuss the issue of age with Lucino. During the period, the youngest Ivan was also involved, and the three of them were in full swing in front of Ji'an and the hedgehog, playing the man's ugly face.
Luchino couldn't say anything about Bernardo, and was inexplicably taken advantage of by him, and shouted "grandpa" several times to satisfy the other party.
Taking advantage of the three people to fight, Julio wittily occupied the sofa next to Ji'an, and asked, "Mr. Ji'an, what are you going to arrange tomorrow?" Do I need more guards to see Mr. Timoteo? β
"It's okay Julio, I'm just going to have a meal with the old man, and by the way, I'll come back when I see where I'm here, it's an alliance, don't be so nervous." Ji An patted his little friend's shoulder soothingly.
Giulio looked at Gian with disbelief on his face and whispered, "However, Mr. Gian relies on the black history of Mr. Timoteo's refusal to return for several days. β
"Haha, is there one? How come I don't remember? Ji'an snorted, scooped up the hedgehog behind him and said, "I won't play with you, I have to go out tomorrow, you should rest early, good night." β
Gian turned on the speed of light mode with the hedgehog in his arms and fled under Julio's resentful gaze.
The hedgehog lay in Ji'an's arms, watched the door of the living room gradually close, and asked, "Where is Gianoni-chan going tomorrow?" β
"Hmph, I'll take you to Vongola tomorrow to find Dad, okay?"
The hedgehog, who didn't understand, asked suspiciously, "Clams? Seafood restaurant? Why is Dad at a seafood restaurant? Yes, was it deducted for eating overlord meals? The hedgehog was a little worried, Mom came to Italy in a hurry to save Dad, right?
"Poof." Ji An laughed, touched the hedgehog's stupid hair, and comforted: "You think too much." β
