There was still some time before the meal, and the old lady said that she was going upstairs, so Xu Ziqian helped her to leave the living room temporarily.

There were three of them left in the living room again, Gu Shaoze almost didn't put An Zimo in his eyes, if no one was staring at Ji Xincheng, Ji Xincheng was uncomfortable with him, and then he said:

"I see the flowers in the garden are blooming well, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ji Xincheng raised his voice slightly and asked An Zimo.

An Zimo crooked on the sofa and flipped through his mobile phone, he didn't care much about everyone's conversation before, and now he was even more interested, waved his hand, and said without raising his head: "You two go, let Shaoze lead the way, he knows him very well." ”

Ji Xincheng nodded, and without waiting for Gu Shaoze, he got up and walked towards the glass door leading to the garden.

Anjia's garden is managed by a special gardener, the seasonal flowers bloom particularly well, and there are many uncommon strange species, Ji Xincheng looked at the count, quite dizzying.

Gu Shaoze, who was following her, finally asked five minutes later:

"Ji Xincheng, did you really come out to see the flowers?"

The two of them were walking under a large cluster of powdery blue vine flowers, I don't know what kind of flowers, Ji Xincheng was pondering, hearing him ask, he turned around, "Yes, otherwise?" ”

"You don't have anything to ask me?"

"Yes."

Gu Shaoze looked at Ji Xincheng seriously, and the latter gradually straightened up, and said, "Of course there is." ”

Gu Shaoze waited for her to continue.

"But I don't think you can answer, for the sake of your self-esteem, it's better not to ask."

Gu Shaoze frowned, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"What kind of flower is this?"

“……”

"I just said, you can't answer, you have to ask."

Ji Xincheng turned around and walked away, Gu Shaoze strode to follow, under a magnolia tree, hugged the person into his arms from behind, pulled her face, lowered his head and kissed her.

Ji Xincheng leaned forward, but her head was tilted back, her awkward posture caused her breath to be unstable, and she bit Gu Shaoze's tongue in a hurry.

It wasn't very heavy, but it caused her to laugh, and the laugh was out of control, and finally ended with Gu Shaoze staring at her angrily as if he was dissatisfied.

When she got to the kiss on the way, the man asked her to turn around and want to continue, but Ji Xincheng refused, and raised his hand to put his finger on his lips.

The warm light of the sunset shone on Gu Shaoze's eyebrows through the leaves and branches, Ji Xincheng raised his other hand and stroked his handsome features, imagining what Gu Shaoze would be like when he was a child......

The man's expression had already softened, and the two of them were so close that his breath sprayed on her face as he spoke.

"Xu Ziqian is already in the past, Ji Xincheng, I hope you always understand this."

And said: "In front of me, you don't need to pretend, if you're not happy, you're not happy, and if you want to be angry, you get angry, you know?" ”

His voice was low, with a little hoarseness, and he couldn't help but look like every time he was emotionally attached to her, and Ji Xincheng gradually blushed.

The two hugged each other under the tree full of the fragrance of magnolia flowers, and the faint uneasiness in her heart due to Xu Ziqian's sudden appearance had now disappeared in Gu Shaoze's tenderness.

A bird stopped in the woods, chirped a few times and flew away.

Ji Xincheng withdrew from Gu Shaoze's arms, the two held hands, their five fingers intertwined with each other, and walked into the forest.

Ji Xincheng asked Gu Shaoze, why did he respect An's mother so much.

Gu Shaoze said:

"The Gu family and the An family are a century-old family in Longcheng, and the two families are world friends, and their personal relationship has always been very good. As far as I can remember, my parents just left the family to start a business, and they couldn't take care of me at all when they were busy. Gradually, I got used to living at home, and even quarreled with my parents because I didn't go back to my home. It wasn't until I became an adult, when my studies were heavy, that I continued to work, and I didn't often live in Anjia. In my childhood memories, Aunt Ann has always been with her more than my mother, and I am grateful to her for that. ”

Ji Xincheng was secretly surprised in his heart, it turned out that Gu Shaoze had such a good relationship with An Zimo.

"So, introducing you to my mother is a family matter, I need to prepare carefully, let her accept you at once, I don't want to take risks, but Aunt An is different, introducing you to her is my own business, as long as I am happy, she will definitely be happy for me."

These words completely explained Ji Xincheng's incomprehension of Gu Shaoze's behavior at the beginning.

Ji Xincheng couldn't help but sigh, "Did you install a monitor in my heart?" How do you know everything I think? ”

She originally intended to make fun of him with a joke, but she didn't expect the man to go straight up and smile ambiguously:

"Is Mrs. Gu confessing to me? Say I already dwell in your heart? ”

Ji Xincheng blushed, ignoring his step-by-step approach, and then saw the servants coming not far away, as if walking towards them, he pushed Gu Shaoze away and stepped forward.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji, it's time to eat."

Sure enough, it was here to call them to eat.

The two of them went to the restaurant one after the other, and everyone was already waiting.

An Hui sat on the main seat, with An Zimo and An Mu on the left and right, Xu Ziqian sat next to An Mu, and Gu Shaoze sat next to An Zimo, just facing Xu Ziqian.

"Xiaomo didn't say hello in advance, dinner is just normal, Miss Ji don't mind."

An Hui said solemnly to Ji Xincheng, who was sitting at the end, across the crowd at the long table.

"Uncle An, you are too polite, we are bothering."

"What bother, you are Shaoze's girlfriend, you will be a family in the future, you often come to sit at home when you have time, when you young people are here, this family is alive, and we all like it!"

Hearing what An's mother said, Ji Xincheng smiled at her sincerely, thinking of Shu Yan and her children, then the most objectionable person in this family is probably Uncle An.

The maid began to serve the food, and Gu Shaoze's eyes always fell on Ji Xincheng's seat.

He was carrying water for her, and he was handing her a fork, and he was a little deliberately courteous, which he usually didn't do.

Ji Xincheng glanced at Gu Shaoze a little strangely, his gaze couldn't help but be wrong, and he saw Xu Ziqian on the other side staring at Gu Shaoze's movements steadily, with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Did he do it for his ex-girlfriend?

Ji Xincheng felt that Gu Shaoze was a little naïve, and decided to ignore him anymore, and did everything by himself, and didn't give him a chance to perform.

"Xin Cheng has such a good personality, Ozawa didn't bully you, right?"

An's mother's inquiry interrupted Ji Xincheng's thoughts.

She hurriedly raised her head, smiled back, bit her lip and said:

"Actually, my temper isn't very good."

"yes, she's bullying me a lot."

Gu Shaoze took the words, he really looked like a child who complained in front of his parents, and that appearance made Ji Xincheng's heart tighten, and he was stunned.

When Mother An heard this, she laughed and said angrily to him:

"I don't believe it, you kid has a lot of ideas when he is young, and he has a big opinion, which one can bully you!"

Gu Shaoze actually laughed when he heard her say this, that smile was extremely bright, Ji Xincheng thought about what he had smiled at himself like this, and it seemed that he didn't ......

Mother An said to Ji Xincheng again: "Xincheng, if Xiao Ze bullies you, you come to Aunt An to call the shots for you!" ”

Ji Xincheng smiled, and saw that Xu Ziqian on the other side lowered her head and concentrated on eating, her face was not very good-looking, so she didn't answer An's mother's words again.

Mother An only said that Ji Xincheng was introverted, and the topic gradually turned to Gu Shaoze's work, naturally, Father An also joined in, and the dinner was very harmonious and warm because of the guidance of Mother An.

Ji Xincheng had a delusion for a moment, if only the future father-in-law and mother-in-law could get along like this.

Dinner is Western-style food, and when dessert comes up after the meal, An's father doesn't eat dessert, and before he is about to leave, he says to An Zimo: "You go to my study after eating." ”

An Zimo didn't know whether he was afraid or disgusted, he didn't raise his head, and replied:

"I have something to go out in a while, so you can tell me anything here!"

Ji Xincheng thought of the previous situation when An's father smashed antique books on An Zimo, and An Zimo was afraid of his father.

Father An was angry, but he still sat back, handed the towel that wiped his hands to the maid behind him, and said:

"We've already talked about your marriage, and we'll be engaged in three months, and you'd better give me some peace in the meantime."

"Can I refuse?"

"What do you think?"

“…… Okay, I got it. ”

An Zimo's lowered head never lifted.

Father An glared at his son, a little hated that iron could not become steel, and when Yu Guang saw Gu Shaoze, he seemed to be even more angry, and sighed:

"If only you had half of Ozawa and let me worry!"

"You keep saying that I want to be like Shaoze, he can marry the woman he likes, can I? Growing up, I could only listen to you, what else could I do besides this? Nothing! ”

An Zimo stood up suddenly, and his cold and hard tone made An's father, who was about to leave, stop, and then under the bated eyes of everyone, An Zimo slammed the napkin and left the restaurant angrily.

Father An stood there for a while before coming back to his senses, and then he held his forehead with his hand, his body shook violently, and he was quickly supported by the maid behind him: "Sir, be careful!" ”

Gu Shaoze glanced at the direction An Zimo left, frowned, and got up to help help Father An back to the room.

Ji Xincheng watched Gu Shaoze's figure leave the restaurant directly, and then turned around, and saw Xu Ziqian staring at her in a daze, as if she was no longer shy about it, and asked Ji Xincheng directly: "Is Miss Ji going to marry Aze?" ”

It seems that it was An Zimo's words that made her ask this.

Ji Xincheng didn't have a good word for a while, and he didn't answer quickly.

Something flashed in Xu Ziqian's eyes, but her expression was as usual, and she turned to smile and said to An's mother: "Auntie, I've eaten well, what about you?" ”

"I'm okay too, let's go upstairs, I'm really tired."

Aunt An seemed to be still immersed in her son's questioning of his father, and with sadness, she was helped upstairs by Xu Ziqian.

In the restaurant, only Ji Xincheng was left at this time, she slowly put down her knife and fork, slowly wiped her hands, and didn't see anyone coming down the stairs for a while, so she didn't wait, and took her mobile phone to find An Zimo.

There were lights in the garden, and Ji Xincheng found An Zimo on a row of stone piers, where he lay and looked at the dark night sky, ignoring people.

"Are you really that compromised?"

After a long time, Ji Xincheng asked into the air.

“…… As you can see, I can't help it. ”

He dragged a long tail note, and a sentence seemed to be squeezed out of his chest by someone else, so weak.

Ji Xincheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"An Zimo, do you remember how you got with Shu Yan?"

Ji Xincheng didn't wait for An Zimo's answer, but when he saw him raise his hand and block it above his eyes with his forearm, he knew that this was already his answer.

An Zimo was crying.

There was no sound, but Ji Xincheng's back stiffened, and he felt that he was a little too ruthless, and he wanted to expose his sore spots?

But when she thinks of Shu Yan and his future child, it is clear that the two of them love each other, but in the end they have to watch each other become other people's partners, this feeling is too terrible, as long as she enters herself, the pain is unbearable, she thinks they are probably the same.

"You grew up in this environment since you were a child, and you didn't know that your marriage was going to be arranged on the first day, since you had the courage to take that step and be with Shu Yan, why don't you take this courage to try to fight for it now?

"Gu Shaoze and I are probably not much better than the two of you, his family still doesn't know about my existence, but I believe that as long as he is willing, he can fight for it with his family.

"You are the same An Zimo, you have a way, but you don't dare to do it!"

After Ji Xincheng finished speaking, An Zimo was still motionless, but she knew that he had listened.

Leaving An Zimo, he didn't take two steps, and bumped into Gu Shaoze, and he came to pick her up.

There was a light in his eyes, as if he had heard what she had just said.

"Is Uncle Ann okay?"

"The old problem is much better now."

Gu Shaoze took Ji Xincheng's hand, the two no longer spoke, and walked out of the garden where An Zimo's thoughts were lying side by side.
