Chapter 35: Ambiguous

Gu Xihe seemed to be attracted by some kind of power, raised his head and met his deep black eyes, bowed slightly and nodded at him, "You too, Mr. Huo." ”

She turned and walked towards the stairs, thinking of the faint scent that had just enveloped her.

The roots of his ears were hot, and he rubbed his wrist that was pinched red, and walked up the stairs quickly.

Gently close the door and sit on the edge of the bed.

The embarrassing picture was playing back and forth in my mind, covering my head with a silk quilt, and I was really shameless.

Quietly listening to the sound of rain falling outside the window.

Gu Xihe tossed and rolled twice on the bed, a little difficult to sleep.

……

The next morning, I woke up early.

The weather outside is still cloudy, and the rain outside the window has not stopped.

Pick up your phone at the bedside. The time shown on the screen was five minutes before half-past six, and he lay on the bed weakly, staring at the ceiling.

She hadn't slept well all night yesterday.

Hanging in my heart, I listened to the sound of the wind all night.

Time passed slowly, and looking at the dark sky outside, she couldn't lie down.

……

Gu Xihe put on his coat and got up, and walked into the bathroom barefoot.

Looking at the arched hairstyle in the mirror, there were still two thick dark circles floating under his eyes, and he rubbed his messy hair a little irritably.

Tie up your hair, unscrew the faucet, and puff the water onto your face.

Brush your teeth and dry your face with a towel.

Back in the bedroom, I picked up my phone, and it was already 6:50.

……

Gu Xihe changed his clothes in the cloakroom and walked out of the guest room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Huo Jincheng walking out of the room in a bathrobe, the neckline of the bathrobe was slightly open, revealing a white and strong chest.

The hair was still wet, dripping along the black hair.

Slide into the neck and flow down the neck to the chest.

With a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, Gu Xihe looked at him.

Suddenly, the ambiguous picture of last night flashed in her mind, lingering, she smiled politely at Huo Jincheng, and spoke, "Mr. Huo, morning." ”

Huo Jincheng looked at her cheeks flushed, "Morning." ”

With a calm expression, he took a sip of coffee from his cup and walked around her side.

Walk in the direction of the room.

Gu Xihe looked at his tall back, Huo Jincheng unscrewed the door and walked into the room.

Only a slight sound of the door closing, his figure disappeared into the corridor, Gu Xihe shook his head, and walked towards the staircase, where the third aunt was sitting in the living room watching TV.

The third aunt watched her walk down and said, "Xihe, let's go to the restaurant for breakfast." ”

Gu Xihe nodded and thanked her, and Luo's mother took her into the restaurant.

……

When Gu Xihe walked into the restaurant.

Looking at the people sitting in front of the table, she couldn't help but be stunned, the members of the Huo family who she saw last night.

Not so much as it is now.

Gu Xihe stood in place, there were many people at the table looking at her with puzzled eyes, and Meng Qingyun, who was sitting next to the main seat, said lightly, "Xihe, take a seat." ”

was called her name, she reacted, and casually found an empty seat to sit down.

Meng Qingyun instructed, "Mother Luo, add a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

I haven't waited for anyone to ask.

Meng Qingyun picked up the teacup, plucked the green leaves in the tea with the teacup, and took a sip.

opened his mouth to introduce, "This is Jin Cheng's friend." ”

She was a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being stared at by so many people all of a sudden.

His eyes drifted around in a little panic, until he saw Meng Qingyun looking at the person at the door of the restaurant and said, "Jin Cheng, the whole family is waiting for you to eat." ”

Gu Xihe turned around and saw the man standing at the door of the restaurant.

Huo Jincheng was wearing a khaki V-neck cardigan.

The sleeve is rolled up to the forearm, revealing the PATEK/Philippe watch on the left wrist.

He walked in her direction and sat down beside her.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family took a sip of milk, and her eyes fell on her.

Looking up and down, he narrowed his gaze.

Cutting the toast on the plate, he said, "Jin Cheng, Qingqing has often told me recently that you are very busy with work, so busy that you don't have time to see her, Qingqing She has just come back from abroad, you should get along more." ”

Huo Jincheng's face was calm, and he flipped through the newspaper in his hand.

Perfunctory reply, "Hmm." ”

Gu Xihe lowered his head and picked up the breakfast on his plate and did not speak.

The only sound of reading a newspaper could be heard during the meal.

There was not even the sound of a knife and fork hitting the wall of the bowl, and Gu Xihe felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing.

There are surprisingly many women at the banquet.

And all of them are delicate and beautiful, but there are few men, Huo Jincheng's father is not there, and the oldest person in this banquet belongs to Huo Jincheng's mother Meng Qingyun.

After the meal, the dishes and chopsticks have not been removed.

was almost dragged by the third aunt to play cards again.

But she won't, and today there are many family members, so the third aunt naturally didn't embarrass her.

……

The chess and card room was very lively, and a few tables were made up to play mahjong.

Gu Xihe could hear the sound of laughter coming from the chess and card room sitting in the living room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were full of water droplets, it was still raining outside, and the signal on the mobile phone was very weak, almost nothing.

Her brow furrowed slightly, she was uneasy.

Huo Jincheng stood behind the bar and brewed coffee, the rich smell of coffee permeating.

looked at her sitting on the sofa and constantly looking out.

He raised his eyebrows with a smile and put the freshly brewed coffee on the bar, "Would you like a cup?" ”

Gu Xihe looked back at him, his hair was not as neat as usual.

Now it looks a little messy.

A hand casually slipped into the pocket of her slacks, and she withdrew her gaze.

Shaking his head and refusing, "It's bitter, I don't like it." ”

Huo Jin Cheng glanced at her lightly, and walked towards the sofa with his cup of coffee, Luo Ma stood at the corner of the stairs and saw the person sitting on the sofa speak, "Jin Cheng, Madam asked you to go to her room." ”

……

When Huo Jincheng walked to Meng Qingyun's room.

She was wearing a peacock blue scarf and was standing at the window looking out at the scenery.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he turned around and leaned on top of the concubine.

Meng Qingyun was wearing a blue cheongsam, and there was no trace of age on her delicate cheeks, she raised her eyes and said lightly, "You don't plan to explain to me, about Gu Xihe?" ”

Huo Jincheng raised his eyebrows, "Explanation? What is there to explain. ”

She picked up the teacup on the table, shook it slowly, and took the teacup and flicked the tea inside.

"Zhou Qingqing is not a good child, she is familiar with her heart, you don't know, this is the first time you have taken a girl home, even if it doesn't matter, but let Zhou Qingqing listen, it is estimated that she should cry and cry to make trouble with you."

"Mess with me? She is the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, the relationship between Zhou Qingqing and the Yan family, mother, you still don't know? ”

Meng Qingyun's movements froze, and she looked up at him, "Zhou Yanyun's daughter-in-law?" ”
