Ji Xincheng's longing eyes seemed to be paced with a layer of warm light and shadow in a trance, revealing a hazy feeling, making her completely without makeup, and her smile looked particularly impactful.

Gu Shaoze looked at her for a long time before he remembered to pick her up, and said softly: "Boys and girls are fine, as long as he is obedient, don't let you work too hard." ”

Pregnancy has just begun, Ji Xincheng didn't expect Gu Shaoze to put her first consideration, she thought that he would say the same thing as many first-time fathers, and subconsciously looked forward to the safe birth of the child......

"What's wrong?" Gu Shaoze was a little uncomfortable stared at by her.

"No," she said with a gentle gesture as she lifted her hand to stroke his cheek, "thank you, husband." ”

She rarely called him with this title so solemnly, Gu Shaoze was a little flattered for a while, his face lowered down, and a very lingering kiss fell between her lips, this kiss did not have a trace of edges and corners, as if he was afraid of hurting her and the gentle response she gave at this moment, with his twelve points of piety.

The warm afternoon sun casts a faint layer of mist on the two people embracing each other through the screen window, and the hardships along the way have become special because of the beautiful feedback at this moment.

"Where's your dad?" In the tranquility, I heard Gu Shaoze ask about Ji Xincheng's father.

It's not that she doesn't think of her father, but she subconsciously doesn't want to think about everything related to that family: her father, and Ji Xinran, who is now wanted by the police.

was silent for a while, and Ji Xincheng didn't say anything.

Gu Shaoze understood that she was entangled in her heart, unwilling to be ruthless and feeling reluctant, probably struggling with herself. The chin was gently rubbed against her sideburns, and she said slowly: "If you don't want to go back, it doesn't matter, I'll call my father-in-law." ”

"It's not that I don't want to go back." Ji Xincheng let out a faint voice, and vaguely heard a sigh.

Gu Shaoze didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.

"I suddenly remembered when I was a child, when I was a teenager, and I was not young, almost every time I went to a dinner or banquet with relatives and friends, he only introduced Ji Xinran to everyone, and some relatives who knew my existence were very confused, but they didn't ask my father in person, but talked about me in private, saying that I might not be my father's biological child, they thought I was still young and didn't understand, but in fact I understood. But he never seemed to realize this, which also made some new friends he met later think that he only had one daughter, that is, Ji Xinran. ”

When Ji Xincheng talked about this, his heart was slightly sad, but his expression was already very calm.

Gu Shaoze unconsciously hugged her tighter, and his lips imprinted on the corner of her forehead, "You must have been very sad at that time, right?" ”

"Sometimes it's really sad when I'm in a bad mood, but then when I'm older, it doesn't matter, he can make me lazy in public and not have to protect my words and deeds all the time." Ji Xincheng took a deep breath, "I even wondered if it was because I wasn't good-looking or good enough to let him do that, but later it turned out that I was better than Ji Xinran in all aspects, but he still only had one daughter in his eyes." ”

"If you want to open some, it means that this matter is actually not all bad for you, if it weren't for them to make themselves better, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met such a good husband now, right?"

Ji Xincheng was really amused by Gu Shaoze's cheekiness, laughed for a while, and then said, "When I mention this, it's not that this incident really hurts me, I just feel the need to remind myself, including you, no matter how many children we have in the future, whether we are boys and girls, we must not be partial, okay?" ”

Gu Shaoze chuckled lightly and didn't make a sound.

Ji Xincheng was surprised, didn't he agree? Then he asked, "Do you hear that?" ”

"Well," he groaned slightly, and then said lazily, "I don't worry about this, I'm worried at the moment, you won't care about me when you have a child, then I really don't know who to cry to!" ”

He said the word 'crying' in an aggrieved manner, which made Ji Xincheng a little ridiculous.

"You're an adult, you don't just see with your eyes, you feel with your heart." She said, "The child is different, don't be inappropriate, my dad treated me and Ji Xinran like that, he didn't realize it at all, and that's what makes people feel even more helpless." ”

"I know, I know, so I'll call my father-in-law now?"

"Forget it, let's find time to go home, let's go to your parents first."

"Okay, Mrs. Gu!"

The man smiled and agreed.

The next day, Gu Shaoze made an appointment with a family doctor to come to the door, planning to take Ji Xincheng to a private hospital for a detailed examination, but Gu Shaoze had a temporary meeting and could not be absent, and Ji Xincheng wanted him to accompany him, so he changed his itinerary and went to the Gu family's old house first to tell the second elder the news.

At the dinner table, Aunt Tong Nianya was also there, and when she heard the news of Ji Xincheng's pregnancy, several elders were very happy.

That kind of happiness is sincere, but it is obviously somewhat estranged from Ji Xincheng, more for the little life that is about to be born in the Gu family, which is normal for people, and she doesn't mind it so much, but they deliberately asked her to suspend all work, and she can't accept it.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I don't have many scenes left, they are all literary dramas, I will pay special attention to them."

"How can it be done, a place like the crew is notoriously dirty and messy, even if there are no dangerous movements, I'm afraid that there will be something in case people come and go!" The first to resolutely refute Ji Xincheng was the little aunt Tong Nianya, "How can you let our baby grandchildren breathe that kind of air, who are they, it's not good for prenatal education!" ”

Ji Xincheng lowered his head to eat, and the chopsticks action stopped, Tong Siya looked keenly in her eyes, gave Tong Nianya a look, and then smiled at Ji Xincheng, "Your aunt has always exaggerated her words, but the meaning is also good, for you and the baby, especially in the first three months, we have to be fully prepared, right?" If you put aside your work and concentrate on raising the baby, it will be good for both mother and child in the future. ”

She was sure that Ji Xincheng must be a boy in her arms.

Gu Shaoze shook his wife's hand under the tablecloth, and winked at his mother and aunt, "You talk so much, can you let her have a meal at ease?" I don't have a good appetite. ”

Tong Siya nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I was like this when I was pregnant with Shaoze, and I haven't eaten much in the first hundred days." You're the only one over there now, Sister-in-law Zeng, or I'll let Sister-in-law Li take care of it with me? She is more experienced. ”

"Besides, Sister-in-law Zeng is doing very well now, and she is uncomfortable with many people in the family." Gu Shaoze replied.

Ji Xincheng never said a word, only lowered her head and drank the soup, this scene made the Gu family somewhat dissatisfied, but she couldn't care so much, if she raised her head and spoke at this time, I was afraid that it would only make them unhappy the more she talked.

"The ...... the hotel a few days ago" Gu Chang suddenly spoke up at this time, mentioning the scandal between Ji Xincheng and Qiu Shang.

Gu Shaoze interrupted him without hesitation, "I have already dealt with that matter, and the impact on the group has been reduced to negligible, so don't mention it again." ”

Gu Chang naturally knew that Ji Xincheng was misunderstood, and the bad impact that the development of the situation might lead to Gu Shaoze also stopped in time, otherwise how could he be kind today, but now he has another idea, "We are not wrong, and our own interests should be properly maintained, I am thinking that since we just have this good news this time, it is better to make it public, Xincheng will issue a statement at this time to raise the fetus at home, which will definitely have a better effect, not only the previous rumors are self-defeating, It also has a good blessing for the positive image of our group in the future. What do you think? ”

After Gu Shaoze listened to his father's words, his eyes became colder and colder, and finally he put down the chopsticks in his hand, although the action was light, it made several eyebrows feel a little uneasy, they knew Gu Shaoze's body language too well, he was going to be angry.

However, today's Gu Shaoze did not have an immediate attack as they expected, and only asked Ji Xincheng in a low voice, "Do you still eat?" ”

Ji Xincheng also noticed the obvious change in the atmosphere on the dining table, and he was slowly finishing a bowl of soup, and he didn't have much appetite, so when he heard his words, he hurriedly echoed, "I'm full." ”

After the words fell, I saw Gu Shaoze leading her to get up, and said to the table, "Let's go back first after eating, she has to go to bed early, and she will go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow." ”

Gu Shaoze's reaction made the three people at the table a little confused for a while, and sat there in a daze, just looking at the two people who got up to leave the table, until Ji Xincheng also said goodbye to them, the three of them were stunned, and they retracted their thoughts one after another.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, right? It's okay to sit for a while. ”

Walking out of the long silhouette of the old house, although Ji Xincheng said insincerely, he still didn't want Gu Shaoze to be unhappy with the family because of her affairs, after all, it was a good thing.

"It's okay, we'll come back and tell them it's fine."

"Aze ,......" Ji Xincheng took Gu Shaoze's hand and stopped.

Gu Shaoze originally hesitated, but her long-lost salutation, a strange thought surged from her chest, she didn't dare to slack off, and she also stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know if I'm right, and if not, don't be angry." Ji Xincheng looked at her husband cautiously, and after receiving his affirmative reply, she continued to speak, "Maybe your parents lacked the company of you when they were young, but I can see that they love you, if you have always had a grudge against them because of your sister's affairs, then now that my sister has returned to us safely, and the two of them are getting older day by day, can we choose to forgive them appropriately?" Even if you can't do it in your heart, if you can get along with each other as gently as possible in daily life, just do that, okay? ”

By this time they had descended the steps and walked to the fountain outside the gate of the inner house, where the night was thick and the moonlight was shining on the two of them through the unknown treetops.

Ji Xincheng in Gu Shaoze's eyes stared at him with some uneasiness.

He still remembered that the elders had always been indifferent to her, and they didn't care about her as a daughter-in-law like many people's husbands and daughters, but now, even if they refuted her inner wishes and got off the table, she was still thinking about their position.

Such a gentle and watery Ji Xincheng made Gu Shaoze reluctant to look away for a long time, even if he blinked, he was afraid of missing every second of looking at her.

"I know I haven't been fully involved in your past, and I shouldn't be judging the way you get along......

"Okay." Gu Shaoze calmly interrupted her and gave her the answer she wanted.

Ji Xincheng raised a smile on his lips, took his arm and hugged him in his arms contentedly, and was about to pick up his steps again, but Gu Shaoze was afraid of touching her stomach when walking, so he withdrew his arm and changed it to him holding her waist and letting her lean on.

"You think so, the way you get along with your parents will always affect our children in the future to a certain extent, so you should think that you are setting an example for your children and practicing in advance?" She was still reassuring him, and sure enough, she understood that he had only answered that way for her sake.

Gu Shaoze hugged her tightly and said: "The relationship between people is mutual, parents do not make what parents should be in front of their children, it is difficult to ask their children to be 100% independent and perfect, my parents and I are like this now, it is the result of the past experience of the three of us, not for no reason." As for your worries that the children will not have a good role model in the future, this is not necessary, the children will be the grandchildren of the two of them in the future, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is also precipitated by themselves, I will not give the children preconceived ideas, after all, they may not be qualified when they are parents, but they may not be like this when they are grandparents. ”

Ji Xincheng was a little misty by Gu Shaoze's words, and he asked with a little disgust, "Do you understand?" ”

She said slowly, "Probably, I understand." That is to say, even if you are not filial to your parents, it will not affect the children to be filial to their grandparents in the future, right? ”

Gu Shaoze frowned lightly, sent the person to the driver's seat and buckled the seat belt, and then said, "You understand it so, and it's not wrong." ”

Ji Xincheng smiled and held on to the seat belt, watched Gu Shaoze go around the front of the car and sit in the driver's seat, and when he fastened the seat belt and sat down, she had already loosened the seat belt and leaned forward to give him a kiss on the cheek, "Today I found out that my husband is indeed not a very unreasonable person, I think I can praise it." ”

Gu Shaoze smiled when he heard this, and turned his face to look at her, "You have to be decent to praise people, it's a bit perfunctory to praise like this, wife?" ”

"How perfunctory, don't think I don't know what you think, drive quickly!"

She had already put the seat belt back, leaned back on the back of the chair quietly, and gently stroked her lower abdomen, Gu Shaoze saw that she had no idea of teasing her like this, and just wanted An An to drive the car home.

At this moment, there was no superfluous distraction, and his mind was as bright as the moonlight in the four fields outside the car window, so fresh that he felt very surprised.

Is it what it feels like to be a father in the legend?

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoze ignored Ji Xincheng's puzzled gaze and laughed to himself.

When Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang walked back to the infield, the expressions of the two of them were very different from when they first came to the party, Ji Xincheng thought that Xu Mo loved Tang Tang, but according to Tang Tang, the reasonable explanation is that Xu Mo is either very gentlemanly, or has other plans.

Otherwise, how could a normal mature man be able not to touch the girl he liked?

Although Ji Xincheng may not be very open in this regard, she really doesn't believe that there is platonic love in these years, at least not by her side.

When they were looking for Xu Mo carefully, Xu Mo and his mother were in the lounge, and the mother and son had some arguments.

The reason is that Xu Mo didn't know that his mother had arranged a blind date party for him today, and he had invited Tang Tang here, due to the strict family education since he was a child, and his mother's first cut, he had to remain polite throughout the whole process, so that he didn't even have a chance to explain to Tang Tang, and finally after being forced to meet a round of his mother's intended 'object', Xu Mo chose not to be patient anymore.

"You promised us that we would make a positive difference this year, but now that the year is coming to an end, I haven't seen anything yet. Xiao Mo, your father is not in good health, and the most reassuring thing is the rest of your life. ”

"Mom, these clichés aren't the crux of the matter, I told you."

"So what's the point? I have tried my best to cooperate with you, respect you, and all of you here today are all appropriate and reasonable arrangements, why are you so angry with me? I think I need an explanation that makes sense. ”

Xu Mo looked at his mother, although he knew that this might be counterproductive, but he had no choice but to say what was on his mind, "Mom, I have a girlfriend, do you think this explanation is reasonable?" ”

Mother Xu was stunned at first, and then the haze between her eyebrows dissipated, and she said with surprise, "Really, really? ”

Xu Mo looked helpless and nodded, "It's true, it's just that she is not ready, and I don't want to force her to make a decision too much, so I didn't tell you for a while." I cherish her and want to give her enough space to think about it, and I don't want to have any reluctance. ”

"Yes, that's how it should be, but ......" Xu Mu was overjoyed, and said instead, "Is she here today?" ”

Xu Mo was reluctant, but still told his mother that she was coming, "However, if you don't call me now, I really don't know how to explain it to her......"

Looking at her son's headache, Xu's mother smiled wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it seemed that he was concerned.

"Don't worry son, you bring her over, and your mother will help you explain to her!" Mother Xu encouraged Xu Modao.

Xu Mo was not optimistic, and he was at a loss, "She just called me, and I don't have time to listen." ”

"Are you sure you're not making excuses for me?"

"Of course not."

"Okay, let's go out together, you bring her over to meet me, and I will definitely help you explain it in place." Mother Xu said, and couldn't help but push her son out of the lounge, and the mother and daughter happened to bump into Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang coming towards them in the corridor back to the inner hall.

Xu Mo's paused footsteps and distracted expression immediately made Xu Mu sensitively aware of it.

She looked at the two young women in front of her who also stopped because of their mother and son, Ji Xincheng she recognized, and the other ......

Mother Xu's eyes fell on Tang Tang, and almost at the same time as Tang Tang's gaze towards her.

But Tang Tang quickly lowered a few points uncomfortably, and didn't look at Xu Mu again, as if he was just careless.

Just when the corners of Xu's mother turned to Xu Mo with a smile and motioned for him to introduce herself, she saw Tang Tang pulling Ji Xincheng to walk past the mother and son, Ji Xincheng did not cooperate with Tang Tang very much at this time because he understood the whole story, so that Tang Tang was stopped by Xu Mo without taking two steps.

"Tang, listen to me......"

"Excuse me, please give way." Tang Tang interrupted coldly.

Ji Xincheng embarrassedly pulled Tang Tang back and greeted Xu's mother, "Hello aunt, do you remember me?" ”

Mother Xu naturally stepped forward and said to Ji Xincheng with a smile, "Of course I remember, Xincheng is Shaoze's wife." ”

"Hey, let's meet again, this is ......" Ji Xincheng intended to introduce Tang Tang, but Tang Tang lowered his head awkwardly and didn't look at people, Ji Xincheng had never seen Tang Tang's ugly face, and he was a little uncertain for a while, but fortunately, Mother Xu picked up the conversation with a kind smile, "I know, this is our Xiaomo's friend, right?" ”

Mother Xu stepped forward, blocked Xu Mo, and directly held Tang Tang's other hand, with an extremely loving expression.

Tang Tang has never been a rude person, especially when she treats elders and children, she is simply bad-tempered, and today she can ask Xu Mo's mother not to take the initiative to say hello, which is the most excessive thing she has done.

She was probably too angry, Ji Xincheng thought.

However, being angry turned into anger, Tang Tang, who was solemnly held by Xu's mother, looked complicated for a while, and finally reluctantly said hello, "Hello, I'm Tang Tang." ”

"Hey, Miss Tang, hello!"

Mother Xu held Tang Tang's slightly cool fingertips in her palms, and smiled amiably, "I want to explain to you for Xiao Mo, he doesn't know about tonight's events, and I don't know that the two of you are dating, that's why there is such a misunderstanding, it's all my fault, I don't pay you for it, please forgive me, okay?" ”

"No, no, you don't have to ...... like this" Tang Tang's face immediately changed, how could she afford to blame herself like this from her elders, and her nervous eyes for help subconsciously fell on Xu Mo.

As if he had obtained permission, Xu Mo immediately stepped forward to stand beside his mother and added to Tang Tang, "I want to wait for the day you promise me to introduce you to my parents......

"Promise you what?" Tang Tang was stunned and asked him directly.

Xu Mo was also stunned, because he had clearly heard the resentment in her words, and when he thought about it seriously, he seemed to have never mentioned it to him in person, only blaming him for thinking that she had already known his intention to marry her, so he had never opened his mouth, but he had been waiting......

Xu Mo, who realized this, was very remorseful, and hurriedly replied, "Promise to marry me." ”

Ji Xincheng was surprised, and at this time he couldn't help but let go of Tang Tang's hand, pushed her in front of Xu Mo, and said to Xu Mo, "Mr. Xu, you don't seem to have proposed to our Miss Tang, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Mo's mother also understood, stepped back, and made way for the two of them.

As if he had been woken up, under his mother's encouraging gaze, Xu Mo took a step back, took Tang Tang's hand, knelt down on one knee in front of her, raised his head and asked her solemnly, "Tang Tang, marry me, okay?" ”
