Chapter Seventy-One: Greasy
It's not news that my brother and Sister Yunxi are joking for a long time, but do you need this boyfriend's approval? Shui Mulian put her hands on her chin and looked at the big brother opposite with an unbelievable look.
According to her observations, Brother Qiao Zimo seems to be very accustomed to "approving" other people's actions in an extravagant tone. It's okay before, it's always been my brother who talks like this with all kinds of characters, and suddenly she suddenly reversed the angle, and she was really a little uncomfortable.
The water lotus thief lowered his head awkwardly and began to destroy the other fruits in front of him.
Grantham touched her head dotingly, as if he didn't see Qiao Zimo's natural "tolerant and kind" gaze, and looked up and beckoned the waiter: "Please order." β
Grantham knows more about the tastes of Yunxi and Shui Mulian, and added a few staple foods and desserts, Qiao Zimo's fingertips pressed the edge of the table, and smiled slightly, like the sunset when the lotus flowers bloom on the edge of the pond in summer, dazzling and scorching, attracting the eyes around to become more and more obsessed.
"How long can I stay in Hong Kong this time?" Yunxi didn't seem to notice the eyes of the people around him at all, and with a seemingly natural carelessness during the meal, he cut the food on the plate little by little, and asked Grantham casually.
"It's been about half a month." Actually, this time I went to Hong Kong just because I saw the latest news of her company on the Internet, so I decided temporarily, and the specific itinerary was not decided, but I calculated that it would take at least more than a week to wait until the final CRIS fashion show was held.
Half a month, that's enough. It just so happened that she was about to do another thing after the fashion show. "Come with me tomorrow to see Situ Bai, it just so happens that the gilt is also there. Gu Yuxuan's business has been good recently, she has now found a few designers, saying that she is more knowledgeable about jade design, and you are also the boss, just help to see. "She doesn't know much about jade herself, but Grantham has a deep Chinese complex, and sometimes her insights are comparable to that of half an expert. It's really sorry to gilt with such a good resource that is not used.
"Okay." Grantham nodded indifferently, seeing that Shui Mulian had eaten most of the staple food, he couldn't help pinching her mouth: "Why is your appetite getting better and better, should you really become a little fat pig?" β
Shui Mulian's mouth was deflated, and her eyes looked at Yunxi with a bright eye: "Sister, the gnats bully the couple." "Because my mouth was pinched, I couldn't pronounce my words well.
Yunxi looked at someone who was pinched into a small ball of flesh, and wanted to keep her cultivation and smile, but she was accidentally choked by something, and the whole person coughed, and before she had time to take a sip of water, someone next to her was already gently patting her back: "Slow down, how can you be like a child." β
Yunxi's throat choked, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He, he even said she was like a child? I've never heard a joke like this in eight lifetimes!
Grantham watched Qiao Zimo slowly caress Yunxi's back, sneered very lightly, and looked up, but those blue eyes were like an ocean, calm and waveless.
After eating, the Shui Mulian children, who liked the new and hated the old, quickly changed their equipment, directly took the pink bag in the gift bag, and announced that they were going to "Weifu Private Interview": "I'm going to the video game city!" β
Yunxi glanced at Qiao Zimo, and seeing that he didn't react, he asked them to take them to the nearest game city nearby.
The game city is located on the fifth floor of the entertainment building, and many of the people who come in and out are usually busy with work, and only the office workers who rest on weekends come to relax with their children, and when they come in, the front desk attendants who are responsible for exchanging huΓ n game coins have a charming gossip atmosphere in their eyes.
"Look, look! Isn't this the female boss of the Wang company? The other one seems to be the earl who acted in a movie and won an award. The staff on duty walked over in front of Yunxi and their group as if inadvertently, turned around, and was immediately surrounded by colleagues at the aisle, sharing the results of her close observation with everyone.
"Is that the earl who has been rumored before?" A female employee was so shocked that she even dropped her employee card in her hand. Isn't it known as the world's golden single aristocrat, how did you come to Hong Kong, and the paparazzi have no news? Besides, since he is Miss Leng's rumored boyfriend, who is the other one next to her?
"I've heard that this earl acted in the movie because she invested in the filming. It's like a fairy tale. Another employee, who was always following the entertainment, immediately chimed in.
"Oh my God!" The girl standing in the middle bit her lip and looked incredulous. She is the previous supervisor, but she is only twenty-eight years old, and her dark and shiny eyes have never moved half a point from Qiao Zimo: "How can there be such a perfect man in the world?" β
"Cut, Director, how do you know he's perfect. That Grantham is also a nobleman, and you don't know who he is, what if he's a star? A little girl looked at Grantham who was holding Shui Mulian stupidly, wishing that she was the one who was being held.
"I don't know. Look, look, what kind of aura people have. Dressing up can lie, appearance can lie, it's temperament, this, no matter how you pretend, you can't pretend to be it! Look at it, in a few days, someone will definitely reveal his identity. The supervisor looked at a female employee with a "you haven't seen the world" expression. Just kidding, if a man who looks like that, if he was really mixed up in the entertainment industry, would he still be unknown? She dares to pack tickets, this person is absolutely scary!
The three of them are accustomed to being the center of attention, and for the almost sensational effect of the entire video game city, they just glanced sideways twice, and then began to take the game currency and start playing with Shui Mulian. From Taiko Tatsujin, to shooters, from Jedi Chariots to Contra. Trendy, antique, Shui Mulian is interested in something, and they go towards that stall. It attracted many onlookers to form a long queue behind it, which was spectacular.
By the time Shui Mulian was too addicted and left the video game city, it was almost night.
I ate late in the afternoon, and only chose a porridge shop in the evening to drink some seafood porridge as a main meal.
When Grantham took Shui Mulian back to the hotel, he saw Yunxi leaving in Qiao Zimo's car, his eyes were slightly dark, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shui Mulian, who had been led by him, tugged his hand.
Grantham looked down at her and said softly, "What's wrong?" β
"Brother doesn't like Sister Yunxi's boyfriend?" Shui Mulian is sometimes very cute, but she is much more sensitive than ordinary children. This is something that everyone around her has to admit.
Granham smiled and tapped her nose slightly, "It's been a 'boyfriend' every day at such a young age, nerd, you know too much." β
"Brother, you just pretend." Shui Mulian rolled her eyes with bad intentions: "Don't be embarrassed to admit it." β
Grantham shook his head and laughed, "Let's go, little princess, I'll send you back to rest." "Boyfriend? He doesn't think so. For Qiao Zimo, he is more of a worry. At least, so far, he has never seen the eldest prince Zhuo Feng lower his posture so much in front of anyone. Qiao Zimo made him feel that it was too unfathomable. It's okay if Yunxi and him are just friends, but if it's really that kind of relationship, it's .......
He gently pushed Shui Mulian's room open, and his transparent pupils flashed a glass light under the reflection of the lights in the room......
The next day, Yunxi came to pick up Grantham and Shui Mulian early in the morning, and the little girl was still playing to get up, rubbing her eye sockets and clutching the quilt and refusing to get up, "Let me sleep again, just a while." β
Grantham glanced at his watch, "That's what you said half an hour ago. I don't know if it's because the jet lag hasn't been adjusted, the little guy had to chase the replay of the talent show last night, and yelled in the middle of the night to shout "I want that skirt too", but when she saw it, what she was thinking about was the one that Situ Bai wore in the final competition, and after coaxing for a long time, she told sΓΉ that she could wear a beautiful dress tomorrow, so she barely fell asleep. Well, in the morning, I really couldn't get up.
Yunxi patted Shui Mulian, who buried her head in the quilt like an ostrich: "If you don't get up again, I'll leave with your brother and let you sleep alone in the hotel until you wake up naturally." β
"Don't!" Without Grantham to lift the cup, Shui Mulian immediately came out of it: "I want to see Xiao Baibai!" β
Yunxi stroked his forehead, he shouldn't have let Situ Bai take this girl crazy before. It's just that I've played it once or twice, and this is called "Xiao Baibai", so that if Situ Bai's mother, who has always attached importance to dignified upbringing, hears it, it is estimated that her face will be very exciting.
"Ten minutes for you." As soon as Grantham's voice fell, Shui Mulian ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Suddenly there were only the two of them left in the room, and Grantham handed her a glass of lemonade: "Why didn't Qiao Zimo come?" β
Yunxi tilted his head and thought for a moment about someone's expression after receiving a call in the morning.
He is the kind of person who wears only a shirt that makes people feel a sense of nobility, but the slight edge after listening to the phone, his expression is faint, but the smile on his lips is as sharp as ice and snow, as if he can split the sunlight in the sky.
At that moment, she found that the person who had followed her to accompany Shui Mulian for a day of madness, perhaps, there were more things that she hadn't had time to discover. Is it to go further, to lift the hazy smoke, or to take a step back and let YiqiΔ return to his heart.
"What's wrong?" Grantham frowned, and for the first time, he found that Yunxi would hesitate for a moment. Is it just because of that man?
She turned her head sideways, glanced at him, her eyes were clear, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "He has something to do, go back to City B first." β
vaguely guessed that she should be with Qiao Zimo last night, but he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and changed to a more concerned topic: "Everything in your family has been solved?" β
"Well, it's all over." Yunxi sat on the sofa on the side and quietly held the glass of lemonade: "As for the remaining unresolved ones, when I go back, the dust should settle." β
From the first time Grantham saw Yunxi, he noticed that she had a pair of graceful and hazy eyes. These eyes usually reveal a faint sense of alienation, and there is a faint ethereal aura, which makes people feel that they can't get close, but those eyes always have a vague temperature. But at this moment, when she said the words "the dust has settled", he felt a cold murderous aura spread.
It was like a sharp weapon dug out of a cave, hidden by dust for many years, but it could not hide its own cold and piercing bones.
He guessed that Zhan Wenlan might not be at the end of his bankruptcy now. As for the other person behind the framing of the Leng family, Yunxi was afraid that he was ready and began to use the knife.
The atmosphere between the two was slightly stagnant. Grantham had something to say, but looking at her appearance, he froze at the edge of his mouth, and finally turned into a chuckle.
He never doubted her abilities. Like, he didn't ask, why she is now in Hong Kong, instead of being in City B and doing it immediately.
When Shui Mulian jumped up and pulled the two people out of the door, the hour hand was already approaching ten o'clock in the morning. It's about half an hour's drive from Cris's place in the hotel, and when he arrived, Situ Bai was practicing steps with a white male model. The male model is obviously experienced, and every move has a charm that has calmed the fashion circle for many years, and the facial features are not exquisite, but a rough personality, which makes people impressed at a glance. Situ Bai cooperated with his steps, obviously, he was still a little immature.
Gilt is sitting next to Situ Bai's mother, helping to refer to the dress at the fashion show.
When Yunxi and Grantham came in with Shui Mulian, Gilding's first reaction was to stretch his neck to look behind them.
"What are you looking for? It's almost giraffes. Yunxi looked at the gilded face with surprise speechlessly.
"Where's Qiao Zimo?" When he found that there was really no figure behind Yunxi, the gilt was really speechless. It doesn't make sense that Yunxi's rumored boyfriend came, so he retreated and let Xian go? With her understanding of the beauty under the moon, no matter what, she had to shock the earl deeply, and then walk away with Yunxi in her arms. I don't know why, obviously she doesn't know the details of Qiao Zimo, but subconsciously she feels that he is the kind of person who can control anyone.
Yunxi paused, "He's not here, it's strange?" "Obviously I haven't known each other for a long time, why does Lao Jin have such a natural expression?
Gilt looked at her, not even bothering to nod. Everyone can see that person's possessiveness. Grantham and Yunxi are old friends, and even Xiao Ran can't wait to slap them away, but they will leave suddenly, no matter how you look at it, it's boring.
Standing on the stretching platform, Situ Bai, who had been being trained by the devil all the time, watched the arrival of the saviors with tears in his eyes: "Old man! β
"Fifteen minutes to go!" P held a ruler and gestured to Situ Bai's arm, and the meaning was obvious: "If you don't have time, you are not allowed to rest." β
Shui Mulian saw that the person on the TV last night had a bitter face, standing with the handsome guy model, and was immediately happy, and wanted to pounce on it.
Grantham casually hooked and pinched the collar of Shui Mulian's beautiful lace skirt on his fingertips: "Good, I'll play with my sister later." β
Shui Mulian puffed out her mouth and gently stuck out her tongue cutely.
Cris's happened to be there today, and when he saw Yunxi coming, he happened to come over with the design book in his hand and discuss the fashion conference with her.
Shui Mulian was bored and panicked, and when she saw a grandmother looking at her with a smile, she suddenly came to her senses and ran over at once. "Hello, I'm Shui Mulian, grandma, you're so beautiful." I don't know why, I think this grandma is so familiar, but I haven't seen it before. Shui Mulian tilted her head, a little puzzled.
Situ Bai's mother looked at this milky little girl, which was very rare, and pointed to Grantham behind her: "You are also very beautiful, that is your brother?" β
"Yes." Shui Mulian nodded in surprise: "Grandma, you are so smart, you can guess it." "No one ever knew Grantham was her brother the first time they met. After all, she is more like her mother, she looks like black hair and black eyes, while her brother is a typical "foreigner".
Situ Bai's mother smiled and said nothing, seeing Grantham standing behind Yunxi, talking to Gilt from time to time, but her eyes were always focused on Shui Mulian, and she smiled lightly: "Your brother loves you very much." "I used to vaguely hear that there was a celebrity in Hong Kong who married far away during the war, and many years ago there were clansmen in the family who were inextricably linked with each other, and then I only heard that it was a long way to cross the ocean and there was no news, but now I look at it, but it seems to be a bit similar. Only, she shook her head. Anyway, Grantham is also an earl, so I guess she thinks too much.
Holding Shui Mulian's cute and childish little face, she took out a chocolate from her bag: "Grandma invites you to eat." β
Shui Mulian took the chocolate with a smile, tore open the bag, the chocolate imported from Belgium exuded a rich and familiar taste, she suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes, her mother also likes to buy this brand of chocolate for her to eat, it tastes great: "Grandma also knows Sister Yunxi?" β
"Yes, I know." Situ Bai's mother was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Shui Mulian to ask this question, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Yunxi. Cris's head turned sideways to talk to her, and the two of them were very focused, seemingly unaware of the QiΔ around them. Gilt was discussing something with Grantham, and no one noticed them.
"My brother said that he just wanted to meet an acquaintance who knew Yunxi's sister this time. But who is it, my brother refuses to sue me, hum, it's so annoying! β
Shui Mulian muttered this casually, without realizing it, and suddenly leaked the secret that she was going to tell Yunxi's boyfriend at dinner in the afternoon to others......
