The Hoffmann family castle is brightly lit and full of cars and people.
Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru were both smiling, busily greeting the guests, and instructing the servants to entertain the guests.
Gu Qixi and Gu Jiayi, two little ghosts, together with several other children of the same age, ran in and out of the garden, having fun. Greeting guests or something, it all depends on the mood, if they are happy, they will stand beside Gu Dongning and Bai Yiru, greet a few guests decently, and run away to play again in a blink of an eye.
Ning Xiuji and Tong Xiaoxin came a little late, and the two came together, one was tall and handsome like an aspen, and the other was slim and jade, dazzling wherever they went.
"Yiru, this is a gift I prepared for you with Xiu Ji." Tong Xiaoxin had a shallow smile on her face, if someone looked closely, they would find that her smile was not from the bottom of her heart at all, and there was some weakness.
"You don't need to say thank you for our relationship, right?" Bai Yiru smiled and took the gift box and handed it to the people around him to put it down.
"You can say it."
"It's okay if I don't say it." Bai Yiru pulled Tong Xiaoxin aside, no matter what the men said to each other, anyway, the topic they talked about, he would never be interested. When she walked into a corner where there were few people, she asked her best friend, "Say, why aren't you happy?" Did you quarrel with Ning Xiuji? β
"It's not a quarrel." Tong Xiaoxin was about to tell Bai Yiru about this, so she didn't hide it at all, "I just think that there are too many differences between me and him, he is unwilling to give in, and I occasionally can't give in, but we still walked into a dead end, we can't get out, tired." I'm really tired. β
"This is a common thing in love, it's normal, just go through this hurdle. Xiaoxin, don't think too much, I'll ask Dong Ning to persuade Ning Xiuji to go back. Bai Yiru persuaded his friend as a passer-by, "Men are somewhat machismo, if you want them to completely change, it's impossible." You see, you all say that Dong Ning is good to me and is willing to listen to me in everything, but where no one sees it, you don't know how domineering he is, and he is very macho, and he won't let me go at all. β
"I know that, too. But ......" Tong Xiaoxin thought about it, and said it in a different way, "For example, let's move, I said that I was not married, nor engaged or anything, and it was not good to live with him, but he didn't care about anything, I was really embarrassed." For example, today, I said let's go separately, don't go together, there are so many reporters, everyone wants to dig up something that exclusively breaks the news, in case we send a message out, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble for nothing. But it's good for him to go out when he says anything, and he will hold a press conference to announce his fiancΓ©e. β
"This is something he didn't think about very well, but don't worry, the reporters invited today have been taken care of by Dong Ning, and the content they want to broadcast has to be let us see it first. If the news is unfavorable to you and Ning Xiuji, we will stop it. Bai Yiru also felt in her heart that Ning Xiuji was too reckless and a little immature, but she couldn't say it, otherwise she was creating a conflict between him and Tong Xiaoxin.
"Ugh." Tong Xiaoxin, who has always loved to laugh, frowned sadly after reciting Ning Xiuji, "This eight characters have not been mentioned yet, he is like this high-profile propaganda everywhere, in case it will ...... in the future." It's going to be a joke. β
"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but you can't give up lightly." Bai Yiru understands Tong Xiaoxin's worries, and her friend's mood at the moment is the same as her mood some time ago, and she is not very confident in the future. "You see that it is not easy for you and Ning Xiuji to get to this point, seeing that you are going to win if you work harder, you have to give up, what a pity, you will definitely regret it."
"Hmm." Tong Xiaoxin nodded weakly, others said that let yourself persevere, persist, and persist, it was easy to cheer up and encourage morale, but how could it be so difficult to do it yourself, as if she couldn't find a clue at all, and she didn't know which direction to work towards.
"Would you like to go upstairs and rest for a while? There was no one in my study. Bai Yiru saw that Tong Xiaoxin's face was really bad, so he said.
"Good. I'll just go up myself, and you can go and greet the other guests. Tong Xiaoxin was upset, and she just didn't want to talk to anyone, and she didn't want to be in a noisy environment, so she helped her temples and went into the hall to go to her friend's study.
Bai Yiru returned to the crowded place again, and saw that Ning Xiuji was still talking to Gu Dongning, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but he was still chatting anyway.
She got a little closer, and heard Gu Dongning say to Ning Xiuji: "You have to work hard, look at the children of me and Yiru are so old, aren't you in a hurry?" β
"Can I not be in a hurry? But what can I do, you look at my mother like that, I can't figure it out, I used to look at an old lady who was very kind, but now how can I be unreasonable and ruthless. Ning Xiuji said that Lu Wanyi felt a rush of anger to the top of her head, he really couldn't forgive her for pushing Tong Xiaoxin and hurting her arm.
"Maybe my aunt didn't mean it, and then things accidentally came to such a point, she just took advantage of the opportunity."
"Whatever she wants. It's really not good, I'll marry Xiaoxin directly, she doesn't agree, forget it, it's okay to have a wedding or something. Ning Xiuji was very eager to marry Tong Xiaoxin, but Lu Wanyi kept making trouble, making Tong Xiaoxin timid, and he didn't dare to force others too much.
"You don't care about the wedding, but have you ever thought about Tong Xiaoxin?" Gu Dongning took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but it was smoked, he turned his head to look at Bai Yiru beside him, and said with a smile, "Don't smoke." β
"It's not that you won't be allowed to smoke, it's that you want to smoke less, didn't you just throw away the cigarette butts?" Bai Yiru stretched out her hand and asked Gu Dongning to come to the cigarette case and put the cigarette back in, he is a man, she can understand why he needs to smoke for entertainment, but she hopes that when he is not entertained, he can stop smoking and always care about his health.
Gu Dongning smiled, watched Bai Yiru put the cigarette case back into her pocket, reached out and stroked her cheek, "Are you tired?" β
"Not tired." Bai Yiru replied to Gu Dongning with a smile, and then looked at Ning Xiuji, "Actually, Xiaoxin cares about weddings very much, girls who don't want a wedding with unforgettable scenery, you can not care, Xiaoxin may agree to you, but do you think she will be happy?" β
Ning Xiuji was silent for two seconds before slowly shaking his head, his face was not much better than Tong Xiaoxin's.
"Things will always work out, Xiaoxin doesn't want to put too much pressure on you, and you don't want to put too much pressure on others." Gu Dongning patted Ning Xiuji on the shoulder, "Girls are weak, but if they pretend to be strong, they are in front of the women they care about." If you really think they're strong, you're going to lose them. After speaking, he hugged Bai Yiru again, his eyes were as bright as stars, "Wife, don't pretend to be strong in front of me, here-" He patted his chest, "It's always for you." β
Bai Yiru sneered, happy and happy, and a little shy.
"Let's go greet the others first, you can do it yourself." Gu Dongning said hello to Ning Xiuji and took Bai Yiru to another place.
A Bugatti Veyron drove into the castle, and after it stopped, four people came down from the car one after anotherβHe Yacheng's family.
Bai Yiru and Gu Dongning greeted each other with a smile, and several people greeted each other for a while.
"Baby and Beibei go to Qixi and Chiayi to play. Those two little ones have been talking about it for a long time, and they want to play with you. Bai Yiru said to the son and daughter of He Yacheng's family.
"Hmm. Good. He Beibei nodded and replied obediently, but when he turned around and followed He Baobao out of his parents' sight, he became no longer so obedient.
"You're decided, I won't sue my parents, will I?" He Baobao looked at his sister helplessly, she was so worry-free.
"That's right! My brother is the best, he always helps me, doesn't he? Don't forget, you're with me, not with mom or dad! He Beibei shrugged with a smile, looking like he had eaten his brother.
"You don't have to be fussy, this is not home, but no one is behind you to clean up the mess for you." As soon as He Baobao finished telling He Beibei, he saw another person over there who made his heartbeat suddenly accelerate-
"He Nanzhe! I want to kill you! Gu Qixi walked on his little short legs, running fast, his head was raised high, and he didn't look at the soles of his feet, he almost fell down several times, but he didn't stop, and continued to run until he ran into He Nanzhe's arms!
"Ugh!" He Nanzhe was hit by half a step before he stabilized the villain in his arms.
"He Nanzhe, did you miss me?" Gu Qixi tilted his head, looked at He Baobao with blank eyes, and his face smiled like a flower.
"You'd better run slower and look down at your feet as you walk." He Nanzhe didn't answer Gu Qixi, but reminded her.
"But who told you to grow so tall, if I don't look up, I can only look at your place, and I can't see your face." Gu Qixi patted He Nanzhe's belt buckle at the lower position, and said with a look of grievance.
He Nanzhe's face instantly became unnatural, pushed away the person in his arms, took a few steps back, looked at Gu Qixi as if he was looking at a dangerous creature, and didn't say anything again.
"Poof!" He Nanyi laughed as if she was watching a good show, not at all subtle.
"You're thinking nonsense again, aren't you?" He Nanzhe asked He Nanyi with a dark face, this sister knows too much, there are some things he doesn't know, she knows it, this is simply ...... Leaving him embarrassed and speechless.
"Nope." He Nanyi shook her head mischievously, "Don't think it's dangerous to think like you, okay?" β
The "......" thought has always been a dangerous person, are you okay? Such an unladylike, who will dare to marry you in the future!
He Nanzhe is very worried about his sister's future and marriage, although they are still young.
"What is the danger of thought?" Gu Qixi blinked his eyes and asked He Nanzhe curiously. She didn't know that she had inadvertently slapped the key parts of the house, which made the family feel very embarrassed.
"Even if you hit that place on my brother's body just now, you will have to be responsible for him for the rest of your life. Oh, that's right-" He Nanyi looked at He Nanzhe playfully, and then said to Gu Qixi, "That place for boys, you can't fight anymore in the future, you will be ashamed!" β
"Oh." Gu Qixi pouted and nodded, in fact, she didn't understand what He Nanyi meant at all, she just knew that shame was a bad thing, so she planned not to hit others in the future.
"You sit down there and have a drink!" He Nanzhe was completely speechless to his sister, pointed to a place where there was no one, and asked her to stay alone, so as not to talk nonsense and do outrageous things.
"Don't be shy, brother, hehe-don't worry, I'll disappear immediately, you count to three, I'll disappear in seconds!" He Nanyi was still teasing He Nanzhe, but when he saw that his brother's face was dark and terrible, and he was about to have a seizure, he hurriedly ran away with thirty-six plans, and ran away, without waiting for others to count three, and then went to other places to cause trouble.
"He Nanzhe, you can go upstairs with me to play. I'll take you to see my paintings. Gu Qixi stepped forward to grab He Nanzhe's sleeve, and desperately dragged people upstairs with him, wanting to show off his latest works to others.
He Nanzhe was afraid that Gu Qixi would cry as a child, so he followed. But in fact, he didn't want to go very much, after all, he had a headache enough for one He Nanyi, and another Gu Qixi, did he feel like he was going to live in dire straits every minute?
Gu Jiayi watched his sister leave with He Nanzhe, and went to find his friends by himself.
"Chiayi, run slowly, go find Grandma Damei to drink some water." Bai Yiru happened to pass by, grabbed his son, and wiped a little dust from his face, "It's all become a clown." β
"I'm not a clown, I'm a handsome guy." Gu Jiayi was thinking about his little friend, and ran away from Bai Yiru, "I'm going to find my new friend." β
Bai Yiru shook his head, let him go, a child should not be a child if he is not naughty. She turned to leave, but saw a person on the other side who she least wanted to see walking towards her.
"Looks like you're still quite happy! It's a pity that I'm afraid this good day is coming to an end. Katharina, who was dressed stylishly, stood still in front of Bai Yiru, still followed by her secretary.
"Since you're here, you're a guest, so feel free." Bai Yiru ignored Katharina's cynicism, and just greeted the other party casually, just face up, if she wants to be enthusiastic about this woman, she really can't do it.
"I don't know who will be the guest here and who will be the hostess here in the near future!" Katharina waved her hand arrogantly and ordered the secretary, "Give Miss Bai the gift I have carefully prepared." β
The secretary hurriedly stepped forward and opened the lid of the box in his hand.
[Today's three watches! ] Don't go away! γ
