"Master." He bowed respectfully.

"Ben, I missed the opportunity again, and it was almost a bad thing, what do you think I should say?" Simon looked at Ben with a blank look in his eyes, and a puff of smoke sprayed on his face.

"Master, we are derelict in our duties." Ben stubbornly admitted his mistake, he was afraid of Simon, but he didn't expect that Gu Dongning would suddenly appear, so Anqi's actions would be forced to stop.

"It's not easy for me to let you in, although you won't be found by Lukas, but what about the head I want? Ben-" Simon suddenly went berserk, reached out and grabbed Ben's neck and pressed it against the wall, glaring at him fiercely, "I gave you money, I didn't ask you to tease me!" If you dare to play tricks on me, you'd better be careful that your neck will break! ”

"Master, I didn't play tricks, I vouch for my character." Ben held up his hands in assurance, as a sign of loyalty.

"Give your personality to a dog, and the dog won't eat it! Don't make a fuss about that! Simon let go of Ben, "No matter what, Bai Yiru and her two children can't stay alive!" ”

"Yes, master." Ben replied tremblingly, then exited the room and gently closed the door.

Simon stood for a moment and walked out, calling out to Ben, "I'll get you out now." This place should not be stayed for long. ”

Ben nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and listened to Simon's arrangement.

Simon had Ben and Angel taken to a seldom-visited corner, where they were asked to change into the uniforms of the courier company's employees and leave the castle one after the other.

Emilia and Simon see off a few guests, just in time to see Ben and Angel leaving.

"Dad, what did the courier company deliver?" She asked Simon suspiciously, she didn't see the people from the courier company when they came in, and she suspected that they were pretending to hurt Bai Yiru.

Simon naturally saw his daughter's thoughts, smiled slightly, and replied without a trace: "There are a few companies that can't participate in your party due to temporary matters, so please ask the courier company to come and send you a gift, and I have already asked someone to sign for you." ”

"Oh. I see. Emilia replied, but she was still very skeptical, but she did not dare to take the liberty of asking Simon that her father's temper was not good, and although he was kind to her, she did not dare to provoke him after all.

"Lukas' grandfather is leaving, we have to go over and deliver it." Simon quickly changed the topic, there are some things that are inconvenient for Emilia to know, she is too kind, if she knows the inside story, she will definitely stop his action, but he has been planning actions for decades, how can he stop because of his daughter's stop!

Emilia and her father went to see off Master Gu.

Master Gu was full of red faces, he was very happy tonight, after all, his grandson actually stood with the only daughter of the Schultz family for the first time, so that everyone defaulted to that they were already a couple.

"Emilia, tonight's table is good, grandpa likes it very much. Make persistent efforts to get rid of Bai Yiru, you are the only mistress of our Hoffman family. He looked at Emilia with a smile on his face and an admiring look in his eyes.

Emilia smiled slightly, obedient and well-behaved, but what she said surprised both Master Gu and Simon.

"Grandpa, I appreciate your kindness, but forgive me for not being able to marry Lukas, I don't love him, and I even hate him. Of course, this doesn't mean that he is bad, it just doesn't meet my aesthetic and mate selection standards. She was still smiling, calm and generous, neither humble nor arrogant.

“emilia！” Simon shouted to stop his daughter, and then apologized to Master Gu, "I'm sorry, Master Gu, it's me who has no way to teach my daughter, so I will let my daughter speak wildly, Master Gu has a lot, so don't worry about it like a daughter." ”

Master Gu shook his head, he didn't feel good in his heart, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to hang his face at this moment, but he was a veteran of the shopping mall, so even if he was displeased, he would not show his face.

His face was as usual, his tone couldn't hear any emotion, and the smile in his eyes was still there, "If you are a child, how can I be an old man." Emilia is straightforward and fast-talking, and such a sharp personality is really rare now. ”

Simon smiled, although he knew that Master Gu's words were mostly polite, but what he thought in his heart was not so.

He secretly glared at Emilia, gave her a look, and asked her to apologize to Master Gu.

Emilia paused for a moment, ignoring Simon's eyes, looked at Master Gu on her own, and continued her words.

"Grandpa, since you also said that I am outspoken, I might as well say everything." Her eyes were full of honesty, not fake at all, of course, there was a stubbornness in the honesty, "I won't marry Lukas, whether he wants to marry me or not, I won't marry." The marriage that was promised before was that my father insisted on going his own way and did not ask for my opinion. Grandpa, marriage is not a child's play, and a lifetime of happiness should be fought for by myself. Lukas is already deliberately my uncle at his age, he is too much older than me, and we are really not suitable. ”

The corners of Master Gu's mouth hooked, smiling, ignoring Emilia, the child, but looking at Simon, "About the marriage, I think you still need to discuss it with Emilia, right?" ”

Simon, who was already short-tempered, wanted to beat Emilia violently at the moment, but for the sake of Master Gu's sake, he endured it and kept laughing at others.

"I was negligent. I'll definitely convince my daughter. "Simon's wishful thinking has been going on for a long time, and it will never be ruined by some of Emilia's bullshit happiness theories.

"Daddy, I don't ......"

"Someone, send the young lady back to the room to rest." Simon didn't wait for Emilia to finish speaking, he ordered someone to take her away, and talked to Master Gu again, "You can see you laugh." It's all because Emilia's mother died early, so I doted on her and was spoiled. ”

"You're a father and a mother again, it's hard work." Master Gu seems to be considerate of Simon, but in fact, he has already drawn a fork to Emilia in his heart, this woman is not qualified to be the hostess of the Hoffman family, and Bai Yiru does not look calm and calm, and her speech is not as measured as her.

Simon sent Master Gu to the car, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, almost like a volcanic eruption, erupting from the top of his head. Emilia is usually a very sensible child, but tonight she was so undignified, regardless of the occasion, she didn't look at people's nonsense, and she acted in a play with Lukas in a big way, so that he and Master Gu were happily fooled, and finally came to pour cold water on them.

Master Gu's car disappeared into the night.

In the hall of the Hoffman family castle, the lights shone as brightly as day, Gu Dongning sat on the sofa, and stood up when he heard the footsteps of Master Gu walking in.

"Grandpa, are you back?" He looked at Master Gu, who didn't look very good, and guessed that he must have known that Emilia was unwilling to marry him.

Master Gu ignored his greeting, and after sitting down, he slowly spoke.

"What's the matter?" He knew Gu Dongning very well, if it weren't for something important, his grandson wouldn't be so late, and he was still waiting for him alone in the living room.

"Grandpa, you know that I have always respected you and loved you very much, and you have played the role of a grandfather and a father in my heart, right?" Gu Dongning moved, facing Gu Dongning's direction, and looked at him seriously,

Master Gu paused before nodding, but he didn't speak, waiting to listen to Gu Dongning's next words, he would never be naïve to think that his grandson waited for him to come back in the middle of the night to talk to him about family affection.

"Grandpa, for me, you are the closest person. So, am I the closest person to you to you? ”

Master Gu continued to nod and did not speak.

"Since I'm your dearest, then you definitely don't want to hurt me, do you?"

Old Master Gu's gaze swept over Gu Dongning's face, and he slowly spoke, "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”

"Grandpa, I just wanted to ask you a question, I hope you can tell me the truth." Gu Dongning's eyes have doubts, anxiety, uneasiness, nervousness and pain, this is the love that he rarely shows, since he was a child, he has been taught by Master Gu to be strong, to learn to hide his feelings and true thoughts, but at this moment he doesn't want to be in front of his grandfather, also wearing a mask, he needs to talk to him honestly.

"Just ask." It was also the first time that Master Gu saw these complicated feelings in the eyes of his grandson, and he felt sorry for him somewhat, so his tone softened a lot.

"Did you instigate the assassination of Eru?" Gu Dongning took a deep breath before asking this question, he had wanted to ask Master Gu this for a long time, but he had never had the confidence to ask. He is a man, he can be invulnerable, but he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but when facing the people he cares about, he can still only be a real person with flesh and blood and feelings.

"It's not. Lukas-" Master Gu didn't have time to think for a second, so he quickly replied to Gu Dongning, he raised his eyebrows, took out his cigar, picked up the cigar cutter from the coffee table, and asked leisurely, "Although I don't like your mother to be the mistress of my Hoffman family, and I often try to get rid of her, but have I ever hurt and wanted her life?" ”

Gu Dongning shook his head, his heart seemed to be relaxed, but it was not very easy.

Relaxedly, his conjecture was not true, and Grandpa didn't want to kill Bai Yiru.

What is not easy is that he has doubts about his grandfather, and the taste in his grandfather's heart must be terrible.

"Again, I don't like Bai Yiru, but she hasn't gotten to the point where I want her to die." Master Gu lit his cigar and took a slow breath, the slight spicy taste of the smoke made him slightly confused, and he looked at Gu Dongning through the smoke, "Dongning, divorce Bai Yiru." I want you to divorce, but I don't want to cut off your relationship. It's not that there is no family like ours, with one at home and a few outside. After you get married, if you still can't let go of Bai Yiru, you can raise her outside, and I promise not to interfere in the slightest. ”

Bai Yiru, who was standing at the top of the stairs, covered her mouth in surprise, looked at Gu Dongning, who hesitated and didn't answer, and tears fell like a broken thread. She wasn't trying to eavesdrop, and if she hadn't been going downstairs to get something, she wouldn't have heard the conversation.

Outside, being a canary in a cage, such a life, she never thought about it, and never felt that it would not happen to her.

However, if Gu Dongning was really forced to get married and had to divorce himself, would he be willing to be a bird in a cage and a small one, waiting for him to take the time to care?

She turned back in a daze, not wanting to go downstairs to get anything more.

After walking an emilia, there were more emilia, Bai Yiru stood under the shower, covered her face and cried bitterly.

None of the two people talking downstairs noticed the figure that flashed at the staircase just now.

Gu Dongning looked at Master Gu in shock, and only after half a sound did he open his mouth to refuse.

"Grandpa, since I was sensible, you taught me that if I am greedy for women, I will lose, so I have never been close to women, and I am very self-controlled in the relationship between men and women. When I married Yiru, I planned to live with her for the rest of my life, and I would not have anything to do with other women. If you tell me to keep Yiru as a child, you might as well tell me to die. He clenched his fists in pain, never thinking that his grandfather would have such an idea.

"Don't always threaten me with death, it's not easy to die. Otherwise, Bai Yiru probably wouldn't have lived until now. Master Gu didn't care about Gu Dongning's words.

"Grandpa!" Gu Dongning's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Master Gu's eyes in disbelief, "You ......"

"If I didn't want Bai Yiru's life, why should you doubt me again. And most importantly, if I wanted to kill Bai Yiru, she would have died a long time ago, after all, this is as easy for me as crushing an ant," Master Gu interrupted Gu Dongning's words, and also dispelled his doubts.

Gu Dongning's eyebrows twisted together, slowly closed his eyes, and breathed deeply.

"It's not early, rest." Master Gu picked up his crutches from the side, stood up, and walked upstairs on crutches.

Gu Dongning propped his elbows on his knees, covered his face, and thought about many things tiredly. The night was indeed deep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Dong Ning." Bai Yiru walked down the stairs, dressed neatly and carrying a handbag.

"You're going out?" When Gu Dongning saw Bai Yiru, the tiredness on his face was swept away, he smiled slightly, and his eyes followed her towards him.

"Xiaoxin called and said that she was very unwell, so she asked me to come over. I'll go over now and I'll be back tomorrow. Bai Yiru pretended to be okay and said, she had pinched her cheeks vigorously before coming down, so her pale face looked very ruddy at the moment, and she didn't see anything unusual.

"Do you have to go now?" Gu Dongning asked, it wasn't that he didn't want Bai Yiru to go over, but he was worried that she would be drowned tonight, and it would be even more dangerous to go out again.

Bai Yiru nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to hug Gu Dongning, "Hmm." Xiaoxin is my only friend, she is unwell and I don't go over to accompany her, is this like words? ”

Gu Dongning sat down, reached out to wrap his arms around Bai Yiru's waist, buried his head in her arms, and breathed deeply the smell of milk on her body, the kind of taste he had become accustomed to and planned to enjoy for the rest of his life, which made him feel at ease.

"Yiru, no one can separate us, right?" He spoke softly, almost in a whisper.

Bai Yiru's face stiffened, and she looked down at the top of Gu Dongning's head, feeling that what she was holding in her arms at the moment was not a big man, but a helpless little boy.

She was distressed, frowned, stroked his hair, and hugged his head, "Hmm." No one. ”

"If I have nothing left, will you still follow me?" Gu Dongning asked cautiously, all along, he had always told Master Gu that he could just Bai Yiru and not the entire Hoffman family, but whenever a person calmed down, he was uneasy, not sure if he had lost the aura of the patriarch of the Hoffman family, and whether she was still willing to stay by his side.

"Dongning-" Bai Yiru paused and gently stroked Gu Dongning's head, like a mother comforting an injured child, "You won't have nothing." Isn't there a saying that the method is always more troublesome than the trouble? We'll find a way to solve the problem, don't you think? ”

Gu Dongning's heart moved, he looked up at Bai Yiru's slightly drooping face, smiled, and his eyebrows were affectionate, "Well, there is always a way to solve it." Yiru, you must support me. You are my biggest motivation and support, you can't give up first. ”

Bai Yiru paused before nodding 'um', it's not that she wants to give up, it's that she has to give up, isn't it?

From the beginning of her affection for him, she knew that if she gave up, it would be nothing else that she would give up, only him, and only him.

He was already all she had, her entire universe.

"Yiru, are you hesitating?" Gu Dongning suddenly frowned, and the familiar feeling of uneasiness crept into his heart again.

"Nope." Bai Yiru replied with a smile.

The first person to hesitate was not her, when she heard Master Gu ask him to raise her as a child, she counted silently in her heart, twice, and three times, waiting for his answer, but he hesitated and did not speak, her heart began to cool, and only then began to shake violently.

"Dong Ning, I have to go to Xiaoxin." She pushed him away, letting out an ethereal sigh.

"I'll send you." Gu Dongning stood up.

"You go and rest. I've told the driver to wait. Good night, Dongning. Bai Yiru waved at him.

Good night.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I just want to hold your hand, get my affection, and love you to the end of my head......

Gu Dongning saw Bai Yiru leave, and immediately called Ah Qi to come and ordered: "Send someone to drive to follow Yiru, stay near Tong Xiaoxin's house at night, and protect Yiru back tomorrow." ”

"Understood. I'll go now. Ah Qi moved neatly, and in the blink of an eye, he went out and arranged for people to follow in order to protect the young lady's safety.

In fact, Tong Xiaoxin didn't call Bai Yiru, this was just Bai Yiru's excuse.

After hearing Master Gu's words, Bai Yiru suddenly felt that she couldn't stay at home, as if as long as she stayed for a second longer, she would be distressed to death. The suffocating pain in her heart, she couldn't speak, she could only endure it alive.

"Xiaoxin, I'm already out of the castle." She was in the car, secretly touched her tears, and sent a text message to Tong Xiaoxin, which was what the other party told her to do. She also understands what her friend wants to do by herself, after all, her friend is not alone now, and it is indeed a little inconvenient to go there late at night, but she doesn't want to stay in a hotel alone.

She was annoyed, where was the strong self before, as if after meeting Gu Dongning, she became extremely loving and dependent on him, and gradually she didn't even have any independence, as soon as she left him, she began to panic.

Tong Xiaoxin heard the text message prompt on her mobile phone, quickly took it over and took a look, and said to Ning Xiuji, who was burying her head in her own trouble, "Go quickly." Eru is coming. ”

"Why is she coming here now? That's too fast! Ning Xiuji muttered dissatisfiedly, Tong Xiaoxin received a call from Bai Yiru just now, and they only did it once, and now they are about to attack again, and Bai Yiru is here over there.

"I didn't sue you just now, Yiru didn't say the reason, but I heard her voice not quite right, I guess I was wronged. Recently, Master Gu has done everything possible to find trouble for her, she has endured it alone for so long, it is strange that she can live well. Tong Xiaoxin patted Ning Xiuji's hand on his chest, "Get up." Get out of the way. Hurry up and clean up, or give Yiru a joke. ”

"It takes about forty minutes to get from the castle, and now we have time to do it again, soon." Ning Xiuji grabbed Tong Xiaoxin and didn't let go, anyway, he had already done it once just now, and now he didn't need to warm up at all, he could go directly to the topic.

"I hate you! You can't stop for forty minutes? Let's go, tomorrow night is guaranteed to satisfy you. Tong Xiaoxin coaxed Ning Xiuji like a child, as long as he left in a hurry now, let her clean up the house.

"Tomorrow night is tomorrow night, tonight is tonight, and it can't be mixed up." Ning Xiuji smiled sheepishly, and pressed Tong Xiaoxin, she couldn't move, she could only passively withstand his violent attack, and let out a subtle broken moan with his movements.

"Hurry up. When Yiru came, it was really embarrassing. Tong Xiaoxin grabbed the sheet and looked at Ning Xiuji without tears.

"Then do as you wish, faster." Ning Xiuji moved rapidly, like a motor.

Tong Xiaoxin's low groan gradually turned into a scream, Ning Xiuji was too crazy, but fortunately, he did what he said, this time he didn't cheat, and he quickly released himself and let her go.

"Wipe it for you." Ning Xiuji took wet wipes for Tong Xiaoxin to clean up, and then cleaned up for himself.

Tong Xiaoxin quickly got up and dressed, packed up the sheets, opened the window for ventilation, and took the clothes to fan out the smell of the house.

Ning Xiuji, who was neatly dressed, smiled and went over to hold her face and took a sip, "Wife, I'm leaving." ”

"Hurry up and go!" Tong Xiaoxin pushed him out of the door, but before he had time to watch him get into the car, he turned around and closed the door, found an air freshener and sprayed it in the house.
