"Get up and eat first, there's something temporary at the city hall, I'm going to have a meeting in the afternoon." He patted her head gently and comfortingly: "I may be on a business trip in a few days, if you don't want to be in Gu Zhai, we will go back to Nippori tomorrow." ”

"On a business trip?" Xin Yao was stunned: "It's the Spring Festival now." Wake up"

Gu Nancy smiled: "No way, some of the government's emergency work does not have holidays." ”

"How long will it take?" For the first time, Ji Xinyao realized that her husband was about to go on a business trip, but she had to stay at home and wait, and she felt a little lost like a child, and immediately sat on the bed and didn't move.

"As little as a week, as much as half a month." He chuckled and kissed her gently as if comforting: "Don't be so reluctant yet, you won't leave in a few days." 弼"

Xin Yao thought about it, and felt that she might be a little childish, but the reluctance and loss in her heart was also true, she paused, then turned around to change her clothes, and after changing her clothes, when she walked out of the room with Gu Nancy, she remembered to ask: "Are you on a business trip this time, or are you going to Beijing?" ”

"No, this time it's Shanghai."

Gu Nancy arranged the cuffs casually, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ji Xinyao brushing the hair draped over her shoulders, and there was a kiss mark under her neck near her collarbone.

Lingering all night, she was not spared after all, she was sucked a little bit of powder, just when she was helping her to take a bath, although she noticed it, I thought that she should cover it after putting on the clothes, but I didn't expect her clothes to just expose this piece of white skin at the collarbone, she hurriedly put on her clothes and went downstairs, and she didn't even have time to look in the mirror, she didn't seem to notice.

"What are you looking at me laughing at?" Ji Xinyao noticed Gu Nancy's gaze dyed with a hint of a smile, so she put down the hand that was going to play with her hair, glanced at him sideways, saw his well-fed look, and then thought of the entanglement between the two last night, and immediately a red cloud rose on her face, and pushed him: "You're embarrassed to laugh!" ”

Pushing him, she took the lead and ran downstairs alone, completely no longer looking at Nancy's smiling gaze that seemed to be in a good mood and seemed to be a little narrow, and ran directly to the living room alone.

Since she has been married for so long, she has seen his drastic methods in politics, his calm and prudent manners, his astonishing indifference and rationality, his quiet and calm control of his self-affection, and her personal experience of his gentlemanly demeanor and gentle tolerance of women, or his rejection of thousands of miles away......

But last night, he seemed to be hovering between reason and loss of control, he was still the same him, but she could feel that he was out of control.

Out of control because of her.

There is a trace of sweetness and satisfaction in her heart, and there is more or less a trace of joy of victory, this tug of war of love, no matter how strong the opponent is, she is also the one who goes to the end after all.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked directly into the restaurant of Gu Mansion.

Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was already waiting, Ji Xinyao was bedridden like this for the first time in the Gu family, and she was still afraid that the old man would blame her, but as soon as she walked in, the old man Gu looked at her with a smile on his face: "Xin Yao is up?" Come, eat something, this man, if you don't eat any meal, you must eat more breakfast, you young couple don't sleep at night, and now no matter how sleepy you are, you have to eat breakfast and go back to sleep! ”

As soon as Ji Xinyao sat down at the table, she was shocked by the old man's words, and her smile froze, and she looked at the old man's smiling face as if she understood very much, and then turned her eyes and looked at the few people seated, He Jiezhen raised her hand to her mouth and snickered, although Gu Yuanheng had no expression on his face, he seemed to know something.

At the same time, Gu Nancy sat next to her, and when she saw her blushing and speechless look, she couldn't help but smile and brushed her hair casually: "What are you looking at sitting stupidly?" ”

Xin Yao made a swallowing motion, then smiled, and glared at him secretly, but saw his natural expression, as if she was awkward and strange, please, didn't he say that no one would hear it?

Gu Nancy put a glass of hot milk in front of her, put some light food in her bowl, raised her eyebrows to signal her, and whispered, "Eat." ”

Only then did Ji Xinyao feel that she had found a step down, lowered her head and stuffed it directly into her mouth regardless of what was in the bowl.

After He Jiezhen tore a piece of bread over there, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Xin Yao, if you are too sleepy, just eat breakfast, go out for a walk for ten minutes, and then go back to the bedroom to sleep, today there will be many people in the family who come to pay New Year's greetings, most of them are figures from the military and political circles, and you don't have to come out to deal with it." ”

"Yes, yes, if you are too sleepy, go back to rest, there will indeed be a lot of people at home today!" The old man nodded.

At this time, Wang Ma and the others sent the boiled dumplings up, and Xin Yao took advantage of the fact that everyone was eating dumplings, and suddenly noticed Xiu Li sitting there, his gaze was very light, and he didn't look at her.

He Jiezhen sandwiched a plate of dumplings for Xin Yao, put them in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "You like to eat dumplings, right?" Eat more. She really didn't favor one over the other, and also made a plate for Xiuli, but she didn't deliberately say anything, just smiled at him.

Xiu Li only politely hooked his lips at He Jiezhen, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

But Ji Xinyao was always blushing, smiling awkwardly at everyone, but looking at Gu Nancy's completely calm appearance, her teeth itched with hatred.

And just as she was staring at him secretly, Gu Nancy turned her head and glanced at her.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice.

She just glared at him resentfully, angry that Mayor Gu's face was as thick as a city wall.

After being stared at by her secretly for a long time, Gu Nancy seemed to understand, and immediately smiled even more, the meaning of narrowness in her eyes was stronger, but she didn't pierce her, but the smile deepened.

"Xin Yao, don't you like to eat dumplings? Why don't you eat it? The old man suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Xin Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned her face to look at Old Man Gu, but saw that Old Man Gu also had a smile in his eyes.

"Yes, I heard from Mother Wang, you and Nancy didn't sleep at one o'clock in the morning last night, and the little couple actually ran into the kitchen to steal dumplings to eat." He Jiezhen finally couldn't help it, and giggled out loud as she sat there.

Everyone at the table had a smile on their faces that couldn't hold back any longer, but Ji Xinyao was embarrassed.

Seemingly...... Is she overthinking......

She thought it was ......

looked at Gu Nancy again, only to see the mayor glancing at her calmly.

The meaning of that glance seems to say: Wife, you think too much~

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, with Gu Zhai's reputation in China, since 8 o'clock in the morning, there have been many politicians with their families to come to pay New Year's greetings, and with the rules of the Gu family, there is no need for juniors who do not work in politics to cause trouble.

So when Ji Xinyao was walking alone in the flower garden behind the Gu family's main house, she saw Ji Xiuli standing at the end of the flower garden and standing motionless for a long time.

She paused and walked over slowly: "Xiu Li, although you are not in the political circles, didn't Grandpa just say that you should accompany him in front?" He wants to tell the world about you, the lost little grandson, which is equivalent to correcting your name as the grandson of the Gu family, why didn't you go? ”

And Xiu Li just looked at her, his eyes seemed to see something through her body coming over, a little ethereal, and when she approached, the dark pupils had a focus and fixed his gaze.

"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? Seeing that he was silent, Xin Yao smiled, stretched out her hand and habitually punched him in the shoulder: "Stinky boy, what are you pretending to be deep with your sister?" Don't forget, you were raised by me, even if you are now the grandson of the Gu family, you are also the Ji Xiuli who was beaten up by me......"

She paused when she said this, and then said a little awkwardly, "Uh...... It should be Gu ...... Thule ...... The old man now wants you to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and you should also be surnamed Gu. ”

As she spoke, she didn't wait for him to react, and took down the hand that had just been hammered into his shoulder.

But as soon as the hand was raised, her wrist suddenly tightened, and Thuria held her wrist tightly, tightly, and did not let her go.

A gust of wind blew, lifting the long hair on Ji Xinyao's shoulders, and the faint pink marks on her neck covered by the hair fell clearly in his eyes, but she didn't notice it, but she saw that Xiu Li had been staring at her neck, and the strength of holding her wrist seemed to be a little ruthless, and she couldn't help but break free: "Xiu Li, what are you doing?" ”

"Thuli...... Let go! This is the Gu family, don't mess around! Let it go......"

She raised her other hand to push him, but he was still holding her tightly, as if he was trying his best to hide something without having a seizure, but his gaze was something Ji Xinyao had never seen.

It's like a male lion who is about to be enraged.

"Xiu Li ......" Xin Yao saw that she couldn't earn it, so she immediately wanted to scold him a few words, but the corner of her eyes suddenly swept to the balcony behind the Gu family's main house, Wen Qing was standing there holding the pot of flowers that were still withering, she was looking at them.

Xin Yaomeng's heart was in a panic, although Wen Qing is sometimes very brainless, but now she is almost crazy and vicious, this scene was seen by her, and if she was added to the vinegar to go out and say something, not to mention Xiu Li and her, even the face of the entire Gu family would be ruined by these rumors and rumors that were speculated!

She was in a hurry, and immediately shook him hard: "Gu Xiuli! You let go of me! ”

Her voice was unprecedentedly cold and repulsive, as well as the horror and anger in her eyes, which finally made his eyes shake and let go of his hand slightly.

As soon as her wrist was free, Ji Xinyao hurriedly took two steps back, raised her hand to rub her wrist, and when she raised her eyes again, she saw that Wen Qing's figure over there was gone, but the heart that hung in her throat couldn't fall for a while, she only felt that a sudden chill hit her body, and she shivered.

"Is it too cold to stand outside for too long?"

Xiu Li saw that she was shivering, as if she had calmed down, and was busy stepping forward to take off her coat for her, but was directly thrown away by Xin Yao.

was thrown by her mercilessly, the coat almost fell to the ground, Xiu Li casually held the coat, turned his eyes to look at her, and said angrily: "What do you mean?" ”

Xin Yao also felt that she seemed to be a little excessive, but in the Gu family, there were people like Wen Qing who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so as not to harm everyone, and also to avoid being criticized by others as soon as Xiu Li returned to the Gu family, she could only do this.

"Xiu Li, from the moment you walked into the door of the Gu family this time, you should know that from now on, I will no longer be the sister who depends on you." She said calmly.

"So what? Even if it's just a friend, you don't have to push me away! ”

Ji Xinyao twisted her eyebrows: "Then do you think we are simple friends now?" It is true that we are not related by blood, but there is another, more terrible shackle between you and me! The shackles of morality! I think you should know better than me, Gu Nancy is your brother, then I am ......"

"Enough!" He interrupted him in a deep voice, as if he wanted to be angry, but he endured it and endured it, and suddenly he laughed, but he laughed a little helplessly, and the hand holding the coat became tighter and tighter, and the sound of intertwined bones was very obvious.

"I see." He said coldly.

With that, he turned and walked away without looking back.

"Thuli ......"

Xin Yao's heart hurts, this is her younger brother who has been with her for more than 20 years, the most important person in her life in the seven years when she was the loneliest, the only fulcrum in her life, and the reason and motivation for her to live, how could she not feel distressed, she couldn't help but open her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, she could only watch his back go away little by little.

It's like their family affection for more than 20 years, their sister and brother relationship......

The qiē and qiē of the past are all far away from her.

********************************************************************************************

Many politicians gathered in Gu's house, and after a few hours of entertainment, Gu Nancy drove to the city in the afternoon because of an impromptu emergency meeting on the government's side.

Because he came back after the meeting, Xin Yao stayed in the Gu family, but she was now uncomfortable because of Xiuli's affairs, so she was bored in the room all day long and didn't want to speak, even when Wang Ma came to bring her some fruits, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed alone, without saying a word.

"Heh~ I guessed right!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, Wen Qing walked in with a smile on her face, looked left and right, she seemed to rarely be able to come to Gu Nancy's room, it was rare for Xin Yao to be in the room, the door was not locked, so she could come in, just looked around, and there seemed to be more resentment in her eyes, but there was always a smile on her lips: "Ji Xinyao, between you and your Xiu Li brother, I'm afraid it's really not just about sister and brother affection, right?" ”

"Get out." Ji Xinyao didn't even bother to look at her, she sat there quietly, and said without raising her head.

Wen Qing glanced at her with a smile: "What's wrong?" Let me tell you the point? I saw last night that the relationship between you and that Thuli was unusual, you are not an idiot, how can you not know how much your brother looks like Nancy? Is it that the month after you left at the wedding, you lived with this Thuli in F City, and you could still take him as Nancy to find comfort when you were too sad? ”

As she spoke, Wen Qing suddenly walked over, bent down and looked at her with an innocent and innocent smile: "How is it?" Compared to Thuli's technique and Nancy's, who is more satisfying to you? This is a younger brother and an uncle, tsk, Ji Xinyao, you have a very strong taste......"

"I told you to get out, did you hear me?"

Ji Xinyao raised her head and glanced at her lightly, with impatience in her eyes.

"What? was exposed to his own filthy ugliness, annoyed and angry? I thought that you Ji Xinyao had any means, it turned out that it was just a little foxy, it was not enough to have a chaotic 'love of sharing a bed) around you, and she actually wanted to climb up to the Gu family along the vine, no wonder Cheng Cheng said that you have been scheming since you were a child, it seems that it is really right, it is really cheap! ”

"Smack-"

After an amazing slap, Wen Qing covered half of her face in shock, and glared at Ji Xinyao in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?" ”

"Believe it or not, if you don't get out of this room again, I'll get you up and go out sideways?" Ji Xinyao glanced at her calmly.
