The guests should have already arrived. The sound of firecrackers is the prelude to the beginning of the luncheon.

Ye Qingning coughed and said with a smile: "It's not too early, we should also go to Changhetang." ”

Gu Xinian nodded and looked at Gu Xiyu.

Gu Xiyu's body trembled, Ying Ying's big eyes were full of fear, her face was faintly pale, and her hands unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand. It was as if he was going to pass out at any moment.

If she insisted on taking her to the Changhe Hall for a banquet, she would definitely be frightened. But if you don't go, what should you do next?

Gu Xinian hesitated for a moment before smiling apologetically: "Cousin Qingning, you go back first!" I'll stay here with Yu'er. ”

Ye Qingning was willing to leave, but he couldn't miss the birthday banquet, so he hesitated and said, "Otherwise, I'll stay with Cousin Yu." ”

Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "No need, just have me here to accompany her." Although the tone is indifferent, there is a faint power that cannot be refused.

Ye Qingning wanted to say something more, but Gu Xinian had already lowered his head and said softly to Gu Xiyu: "Yu'er, you don't want to go over, I won't go either, stay with you." ”

Gu Xiyu's expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded slightly.

Ye Qinglan finally woke up completely from the surprise of the first meeting, and secretly felt sorry for Gu Xiyu in her heart. Such a beautiful girl suffers from autism......

The most common expression of autistic people is that they are withdrawn and do not want to contact people. Those who are stricter are not sound in terms of intellectual and psychological development. Gu Xiyu is already a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but she behaves like a five or six-year-old child. It seems to be a person with severe autism.

If such a patient is placed in modern times, combined with Western medicine and psychotherapy, there is some hope for a cure. At least some improvement can be made. But in this era, doctors probably don't even understand what autism is, let alone treat it.

Moreover, Gu Xiyu is the daughter of the dignified government, even if her temperament is different from ordinary people, no one dares to complain. Naturally, the family is even more reluctant to think about the bad side. As a result, Gu Xiyu's condition was neglected, and the delay has become more and more severe since then......

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but sigh lightly, her gaze wandered on Gu Xiyu's lowered face, and then suddenly crashed into a pair of eyes. In the short moment when their eyes met, Ye Qinglan's heart jumped uncontrollably.

Those deep eyes are like a pool of bottomless spring water, which makes people unconsciously indulge in it and can't extricate themselves.

This is purely an instinctive reaction of the body, and it is as difficult to restrain a man when he sees a sexy and beautiful woman.

Therefore, Ye Qinglan quickly forgave herself for her momentary loss of consciousness, and even took the opportunity to take a few more looks.

Fortunately, Gu Xinian quickly looked away and looked at Ye Qingning: "Cousin Qingning, it's not too early, you go back first!" My aunt must have sent someone to look for you everywhere. ”

Ye Qingning had no choice but to respond, and glanced at Gu Xinian reluctantly before turning around and leaving.

Ye Qinglan acted as the background of the event very interestingly, and left with Ye Qingning. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at Gu Xinian.

At a quick glance, he could only see Gu Xinian's side face.

He lowered his head and said something patiently, the corners of his lips slightly raised, like a delicate and beautiful ink painting.

Ye Qinglan secretly praised in her heart, and then withdrew her gaze.

Ye Qingning was obviously distracted, he didn't speak all the way, the expression on his face was uncertain, and he didn't know what to think in his mind.

At this moment, Ye Qinglan can understand Ye Qingning's feelings very well. With a man like Gu Xinian here, Zheng Junyan suddenly dimmed a lot. However, Zheng plans to discuss the relationship between the two with his brother and sister-in-law today......

Soon arrived at Changhetang.

Ye Qinglan quietly tugged at Ye Qingning's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Sixth sister, let's go find the eldest aunt first!" ”

Ye Qingning really came back to his senses, cheered up and responded with a smile.

Today's birthday banquet opened a total of 20 seats, 10 seats for men, located in Changhe Hall. There are also ten seats for the female dependents, but they are located in the flower hall. There are about eight to nine people per table.

The tables had already been arranged, and the ladies each led their daughters to sit down, and the chatter and laughter were endless.

The Zheng family was secretly anxious, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan coming together. Before he could speak, he heard Mrs. Zheng on the side ask anxiously, "What about the young people who cherish Yuxi?" Why didn't you come along? Didn't you find them? ”

Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "We found them by the lotus pond." However, Cousin Xiyu refused to come. My cousin had to stay with her......"

Mrs. Zheng's face really darkened a lot, and she sighed lightly.

The heirs of the Dingguo Mansion are prosperous, and Gu Xinian's generation has six cousins, but there is only one young lady Gu Xiyu. Not to mention her mother's love as a treasure, the whole house is eager to hold Gu Xiyu in her hand and love her.

But Gu Xiyu has been very withdrawn since she was a child and doesn't like to talk, and she stays at home all day long. In the past two years, it has intensified, and even people refuse to see each other.

I thought that taking her out today would allow her to make more friends. I didn't expect it to be such an embarrassing situation......

Seeing her expression, Zheng Shi hurriedly whispered: "Xiyu is still young, don't force her for the time being." Naturally, it will get better in the future. ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly: "She is only one year younger than Ning'er, and she is not a child anymore." It's always like this, I can't be in a hurry. "I've reached the age of talking about marriage, but I still have such a temperament, what should I do in the future?

Zheng could naturally guess what was on her mind, and sighed with her. Immediately cheered up and smiled: "It's not good to stay by the lotus pond all the time, so let's let people go to the lotus pond and lead the two of them to Luomei Courtyard to find a quiet room for Xiyu." Send some more food. ”

That's it! Mrs. Zheng nodded.

Zheng glanced at the winter goose. The winter goose immediately understood and quietly went.

Ye Qingning listened to the words of the two of them in his ears, and his expression moved. Zheng glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and the deep meaning was probably only understood by Ye Qingning.

Ye Qingning looked away casually, and said to Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Tenth sister, let's go and sit on the eighth cousin's side!" ”

Ye Qinglan happily agreed.

The two walked to the table together, and their expressions were very intimate, like a pair of sisters with excellent feelings.

Ye Qingfu was jealous and glared at Ye Qinglan angrily. Following Ye Qingning's side, the people who came into contact with her were all daughters of top aristocratic families.

This dead girl, who is usually silent, doesn't know what method she used, but she coaxed Ye Qingning around.

Ye Qinglan didn't look at her, and after sitting down with a smile, she kept talking and laughing with Ye Qingning in a low voice.
