Bai Yiru sent Gu Dongning to work, and the people in the clothing store sent Ning Keyan's custom-made clothes, which she signed by the way and sent upstairs.

"Mom, the clothes are back." When she went upstairs, she shouted, Ning Keyan's room was not far from the staircase, and she would call someone directly every time she saw the door open, but this time she regretted that she was reckless.

Ning Ke heard her daughter-in-law calling herself, so she looked back at her with an expressionless face.

Bai Yiru was carrying the bag in her hand, very annoyed, and the place where she would rather be standing at the moment was not her room, but the door of Gu Zhenghao's study, and the music of "Sweet Honey" came from the study.

"Bring it to me and I'll take a look." Ning Ke broke the embarrassment first, smiled reluctantly, and beckoned to Bai Yiru.

Bai Yiru walked over and followed Ning Keyan into her room to try on clothes.

The clothes fit well, there was no problem, the two put down their clothes and walked out again, passing by Gu Zhenghao's study, where music was still playing.

"It's been out all night." Ning Keyan said as if he didn't care, since Gu Zhenghao came back yesterday, he has been staying in the study, constantly repeating this song, just like many years ago.

"Mom." Bai Yiru held Ning Keyan, not knowing what to say, the feelings of adults, they can't participate in it as juniors.

"It's fine. I'm used to it. Ning Ke smiled faintly, "Let's go, take Qixi and Chiayi for a walk." ”

"Hmm." Bai Yiru agreed.

In the study, Gu Zhenghao stared at the gramophone, turning round and round and turning, it came out that he could silently recite the tune of every syllable, and the beautiful female voice was not taken away by the years, it was still stuck more than 20 years ago, just like her young face at that time was as touching as the heartstrings.

He was immersed in the music, silently counting down, and after five seconds, it was very accurate, and there were some small flaws in his singing. Closing her eyes, bending the corners of her mouth and laughing, recalling the scene when she recorded this song, she was a little nervous and laughed out loud, so she ran away a little bit in the chorus, but it didn't affect the overall effect, but it felt more like listening to the live version.

Over and over again, dawn and dark, I don't know how many times it was repeated.

When Gu Dongning came back from work, he heard from Bai Yiru that Gu Zhenghao was listening to a song, and his mother was unhappy, so she went upstairs and knocked on his father's study door.

Gu Zhenghao, who reunited with her in a dream, vaguely heard a knock on the door, his brows furrowed, not very pleasant, but he didn't wake up.

In the dream, he sat in the best position in the song hall, looked at her singing on stage, smiled at him, and sang the song "Sweet Honey" she sang when they first met.

Gu Dongning knocked on the door again.

Gu Zhenghao is still in his dream, there are often ruffians-hooligans in the song hall looking for trouble for the singer, she is entangled, he takes a beautiful hand to clean up those little hooligans and protect the woman he loves the most.

She smiled and leaned into his arms and said excitedly, "Zhenghao, I'm pregnant, we have a baby." ”

With a "click", the door was pushed open, Gu Dongning walked in, and looked at Gu Zhenghao, who was awakened by himself, "Dad." ”

Gu Zhenghao pinched his eyebrows, his head hurt a little, and what he recalled in his mind was the sentence she said in the dream, "Zhenghao, I am pregnant, and we have a child." ”

"Let's talk." Gu Dongning went to turn off the gramophone, and the sound of music that sounded beautiful in his father's heart, but in the eyes of him and Ning Keyan, finally disappeared. "Have you been to H City again these days? Are there any new discoveries? ”

After listening to Gu Dongning's words, Gu Zhenghao was stunned for a moment on his face, but he immediately understood how his son could not understand his actions.

"Yes is equivalent to no." He wiped his face sadly, "I found the owner of the song hall where she used to be a singer, and he said that she was finally sold to the mountains of Guizhou by human traffickers, and she has not been heard from since, and some people say that they saw her being forced to death by human traffickers......

"That's just someone saying that if you don't find evidence, you can't be the truth." Gu Dongning talked to his father as a man, and he patted his father on the shoulder, "Dad, no news is the best news, don't be too sad." ”

"I'm afraid that the rumors will come true." Gu Zhenghao closed his eyes, uncontrollable sadness, when she was pregnant with his child, he said that he wanted her to wait for him to marry her, but he couldn't do it, and she disappeared. If she hadn't been promised, she would have married someone else, and maybe it would have been different.

"Let's not speculate. Guessing is useless, it only hurts people. Mom and I want you to be happy. Gu Dongning finally understood why his father, who had stopped listening to this song for many years, began to listen to it day and night again, and his father couldn't forgive himself.

"There are only two people I'm sorry for in my life, one is her and the other is your mother, and I can't take care of them." Gu Zhenghao pulled his hair in pain.

"Dad, maybe that aunt is living a good life now and doesn't want to be disturbed by you, so she won't let you find her. So for her sake, you shouldn't disturb her life. As for mom, you should care more about her, if you are not happy, she will not be happy. Gu Dongning paused for a few seconds and then said, "Mom didn't eat lunch, and she didn't come out of the bedroom since lunch went out." With that, he turned and left the study.

Whether Gu Zhenghao will comfort Ning Keyan, Gu Dongning doesn't know, but as a son, he must work hard to ease the relationship between his parents.

He is not a father and cannot understand what it feels like to love two women at the same time, but he knows that the feeling of loving one person deeply is that he can't stop it.

Everyone has their own agendas, and the atmosphere in the whole house is not quite right for several days, and the tension makes people cautious.

Zhong Jing excused herself to something and went out with her classmates.

Even if Gu Qixi and Gu Jiayi are children, they are keenly aware of unusual smells, and they are incredibly well-behaved and obedient.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and the next day was the award ceremony, and after dinner, Gu Dongning instructed Ah Si to prepare a private jet and fly to Frankfurt early Saturday morning.

Master Gu said that he was going to see an old friend, and he had already arranged to use the plane.

Gu Dongning knew that this was because the old man didn't want him to accompany Bai Yiru to Frankfurt, so he tried his best to keep him at home and go to Emilia's party.

"Yiru, let's go now." Gu Dongning went upstairs to pack up a few things casually, and pulled Bai Yiru away.

"What about the child?" Bai Yiru thought that she would only leave on Saturday, so she hadn't explained the child's affairs yet.

"I told my mom, and she took care of it with my dad." Gu Dongning had a premonition that Master Gu would be like this, so he asked Ah Qi to book a ticket early, he couldn't take a private jet, and civil aviation would not listen to his grandfather's command and wouldn't sell him a ticket for Gu Dongning.

The award ceremony was more grand than any time Bai Yiru participated in before, after all, this is an international award, and the invited award presenters are also heavyweights in the art world.

After receiving the award, Bai Yiru participated in the later symposium with Gu Dongning, and negotiated the exhibition with the organizer.

They planned to stay for another night before going back, but Gu Dongning received a call from Master Gu, saying that the family's plane had come to pick them up.

Gu Dongning got on the plane with Bai Yiru, only to know that Master Gu was also on the plane.

Master Gu ignored Bai Yiru's greetings, glanced at the dress she didn't have time to change, and secretly scolded Gu Dongning for being really willing, this dress plus the dress on her body, which one is not from the hands of a famous designer, the price of the skirt alone is enough for ordinary people to buy three houses.

Bai Yiru bowed her head uncomfortably, and she never forgot about Master Gu's questioning that day.

Gu Dongning sat down with his arms around her and let her fall into his arms, "Sleep." When you fall asleep, you can't hear or see anything. ”

Bai Yiru moved Gu Dongning to protect her at all times, but she couldn't be heartless after all, she closed her eyes, her heart was disorganized, but she didn't want to meet things that made her even more irritable after getting off the plane.

At the exit of the tarmac, Emilia was dressed in a fashionable and youthful dress, and ran over to Master Gu and Gu Dongning, who stepped off the plane, with a happy smile on her face.

"Grandpa, are you back?" She grabbed Master Gu and greeted him coquettishly, and then hugged Gu Dongning's arm, "Lukas, I'll pick you up!" You're my dance partner tonight, so I'm waiting for you to come back! ”

Gu Dongning quietly pushed Emilia away, and before she could say anything about refusal, she took the initiative to take his arm.

"Lukas, you're so handsome today, I like it so much! We're going to be the brightest stars in the crowd tonight! She talked to Gu Dongning by herself, desperately holding his arm and not letting go.

Gu Dongning couldn't push it away, so he could only endure it helplessly, looked back at Bai Yiru, and regretted that he had fallen for his grandfather again. He treats his grandfather as a trusted relative, but his grandfather always calculates him, and an inexplicable love in his heart keeps overflowing, making him want to kill.

Bai Yiru smiled at him, but her hands clenched into small fists betrayed her nervousness.

The car was outside the tarmac, and there was only one.

Master Gu stood at the door of the co-pilot, and the driver held the door.

"Lukas get in the car, follow me to Emilia's party, and Bai Yiru will solve it by himself." He forcefully announced the order.

"I don't agree." Gu Dongning resolutely objected, and took Bai Yiru to the side, not planning to get in the car, nor did he plan to participate in any broken party.

“lukas！” Master Gu's crutches slammed on the ground, "You stop me!" ”

Bai Yiru glanced back at Master Gu, hesitated for a moment, and dragged Gu Dongning to the car door, "You get in the car, go to participate in the pie, and I'll take a taxi home by myself." Listen to grandpa. ”

"You mean to agree to grandpa's arrangement and tell me to go on a blind date with Emilia?" Gu Dongning's incredible eyes fell on Bai Yiru's face.

Bai Yiru's face turned a little pale, "No." But this faction can't help but participate, the Schultz family can't be offended, and I'm sure you can handle it. ”

"Then you come with me. If you don't go, I won't go. Gu Dongning understood Bai Yiru's worries, but he couldn't go alone, he wanted to take her with him and tell everyone that he Gu Dongning had a wife, he only loved his wife, and other people should not think about anything wrong.

"Emilia's father only invited me and Lukas." Master Gu heard Gu Dongning's conversation with them, so he directly started from Bai Yiru, who had already loosened his mind.

"Either I'll go with my wife, or we'll not go." Gu Dongning looked at Gu Dongning resolutely, and obeyed without compromise.

“lukas！” Master Gu was very angry, but because Emilia was there, he couldn't reprimand his grandson too much, so he could only endure it.

"Grandpa, don't be angry!" Emilia, who had been secretly observing for a while, stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Master Gu's arm, looked at Bai Yiru proudly, and said proudly, "Just let her go, anyway, my house is very big, and one more person will be too crowded!" And, when the time comes, let her see how loving Lukas and I are, and she'll give up on her own! ”

Bai Yiru's eyes fell on Emilia's face that was somewhat similar to herself, and she didn't understand why an innocent girl understood so many scheming prematurely.

Master Gu looked at the naughty and cute Emilia, although her little tricks would not play a substantial role in driving Bai Yiru away, but she was the hostess of today's party, and her status was special, so she couldn't ignore her meaning, so she nodded and agreed, acquiescing to Bai Yiru going with her.

The car drove into the castle of the Schultz family, everyone got out of the car together, Emilia's father Simon personally came forward to greet Master Gu and Gu Dongning, but he didn't want to see Bai Yiru unexpectedly, so he smiled at her first before greeting others.

"Daddy, do you know her?" Emilia held Master Gu with one hand and her father with the other, and walked inside together.

"Nope. It's just that I've heard people say that Lukas has a wife, and she has been a fairy in the race, and today I see that it really deserves its reputation. Simon said with a smirk.

"Daddy! You mean, I can't compare to her? Emilia frowned in displeasure.

"She's no match for you. Emilia is the fairy. Master Gu patted Emilia's hand, "You are the person I fancie, and my vision is recognized as poisonous." ”

"It's better to be grandpa. Before I married Lukas, my father hated me. Emilia turned back to Gu Dongning and smiled sweetly, "Lukas, you see that my father treats me as a member of your family!" ”

Gu Dongning was silent, pretending not to hear, took Bai Yiru's hand, walked a little slower, and whispered in her ear: "Since you are here, let's make a show." You are not allowed to believe the words of others. ”

Bai Yiru nodded, "I know." ”

As he spoke, he had come to the small garden in the castle, where the party was held.

After Simon greeted Master Gu and them, he told his daughter to entertain today's guests well, and he went out first.

Emilia took the initiative to take Gu Dongning's hand, dragged and dragged him upstairs and ran to the other side.

Master Gu was very satisfied with Emilia's enthusiasm, pestering a man like this, anyone would be moved in the end.

Bai Yiru lowered her head slightly, frowned slightly, and followed Gu Dongning, who kept looking back at her.

"Don't look at it. Hurry up and follow me. Emilia stretched out her hand to cover Gu Dongning's eyes, dragged him to a place where no one was there before letting go, and said urgently, "Don't speak, listen to me, you can talk again." I'm going to make an exchange with you, and you're not going to lose. ”

"I never get involved in children's tricks." Gu Dongning was disdainful and turned around to leave.

Emilia grabbed him by the sleeve and looked at him threateningly, "If you don't do what I say, just wait to cry with regret." ”

"I never cry."

"It's related to Bai Yiru, you won't cry? Then you must not really love her! Emilia smiled secretly, she had already caught a glimpse of the person behind the flower vine, so she deliberately raised her voice.

The person behind the flowers was none other than Bai Yiru, who was sent by the ghost to follow Gu Dongning, she secretly hid, wanting to see what he and Emilia did, she didn't believe him, but she was too unconfident, so she couldn't restrain herself from following.

Gu Dongning was worried about Bai Yiru in her heart, and she wanted to think about how to deal with Emilia and her father tonight, so her vigilance was affected, and she didn't realize that Bai Yiru was nearby.

He stared at Emilia, and his tone was a little ruthless, "If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I will destroy your whole family in my life." ”

"I'm afraid that no one will hurt her, but you will hurt yourself!" Emilia is still loud.

Bai Yiru heard their conversation clearly, her heart was pounding, firstly, she was very nervous about eavesdropping, and secondly, she didn't know what Emilia's words meant, so she was worried and afraid.

"What do you want?" Gu Dongning shook off Emilia's hand and decided not to leave, first to hear what the conditions she wanted to exchange with him were.

"It's easy!" Emilia said these words loudly, smiled mischievously, deliberately hugged Gu Dongning's neck, and whispered in his ear for a while before letting go.

Gu Dongning listened, and raised his eyebrows, "Really? ”

"Uh-huh. Keep your voice quiet, and don't let anyone know. Bai Yiru can't do it either! Emilia's head nodded quickly, like a chick pecking rice.

Gu Dongning also nodded.

“ok！ Deal! Don't cheat! Emilia hugged Gu Dongning and rubbed it in his arms, like a kitten, and quickly jumped out of his arms, "Let's go." The party is about to start! ”

Gu Dongning followed slowly.

"Let's go!" Emilia, who was walking in front, turned around, trotted to Gu Dongning, and grabbed his arm again, like a pair of lovers in love.

Bai Yiru waited until they were far away, then came out from behind the flower vines, frowned at the brightly lit castle, and slowly walked towards the small garden, angry Emilia said why it became a whisper at the critical moment, and she didn't hear anything.

Emilia and Gu Dongning appeared at the same time, Master Gu smiled happily from ear to ear, and he said that the little girl was invincible, and his grandson was a normal man, and he would not be unimpressed.

"Daddy, where are you going? The party is about to begin. Emilia said to Simon as he walked through the crowd.

"Go out and make a phone call and be back right away, you won't lose time. Don't worry, my little darling. Simon lovingly kissed Emilia on the cheek and continued walking.

There were a lot of people outside, so Simon went straight back to his room and closed the door before starting to call.

"People are here, come here quickly, I will find a way to let you in, and you don't show your feet." He stood in front of the window and looked at Bai Yiru who was sitting in a corner with few people downstairs.

"Okay. Let's do it now. The person on the other end of the line was a little surprised, but it was only a few seconds, he didn't have much time to think about anything else, he had to hurry up and plan.

"It's almost time to call, I'll send someone to pick you up."

"Understood."

"Act now." Simon gave a ruthless last order, put away his mobile phone, looked at the time, and glanced at Bai Yiru, who was alone downstairs, the corners of his lips hooked, and walked downstairs quickly.

The party started on time.

Simon first said some clichés, introduced his daughter, and then solemnly introduced Gu Dongning as a guest.

Gu Dongning had no choice but to go on stage, standing with Emilia, looking at the crowd with lukewarm eyes.

Emilia smiled weirdly, took the initiative to hold Gu Dongning's arm, and made a bird-like appearance. Gu Dongning glanced at her and didn't struggle.

The people in the audience couldn't help but sigh, it seems that Master Gu has successfully driven Gu Dongning's wife away, and the marriage of the two big families of Hoffman and Schultz is just around the corner.

Bai Yiru was still sitting in the corner, looking at Gu Dongning and Emilia in the middle of the crowd from a distance, she knew that he was making a show, but she still couldn't suppress her sadness.

Whether it is Gu Dongning or Emilia, they are like the brightest stars in the night sky, surrounded by everyone, and they are held in the sky, which makes people only look at it from a distance and feel envious.

Gu Dongning effortlessly found the position where Bai Yiru was locked, he looked at her from a distance, but she was in a corner where the lights were very dim, and he couldn't see her expression clearly.

The first dance of course belonged to tonight's heroine Emilia, who looked at Gu Dongning with a smile, waiting for him to invite her.

Gu Dongning stepped forward expressionlessly, and the gentleman stretched out his hand towards Emilia.

Emilia put her hand in his palm, and to the applause of everyone, to the beat of the music, the two began to dance in the middle of everyone.

Bai Yiru supported his head with one hand, looked at it for a while, and was not interested, so he simply stood up and planned to walk around, and it was not in vain that he came to the castle of the Schultz family once.

She lowered her head and walked casually, but she couldn't forget the tacit cooperation between Gu Dongning and Emilia just now.

In my impression, she has never been the heroine of a party, nor has she ever been invited to dance by Gu Dongning so solemnly.

Involuntarily, she was a little jealous of Emilia.

But she can't do anything, she is not a young lady and princess in a big family.
