Chapter 88

"Really?! Wouldn't you be unhappy? Gu Yanxi was a little surprised at first, she didn't expect Li Chen to agree so quickly.

"What's unpleasant about this, I'll say it sooner or later anyway." Li Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his mood was a little complicated.

"What if the family doesn't agree?"

"Don't think about it so much, are you ready for your luggage?" Li Chen avoided the topic, put Gu Yanxi's feet on the bed, looked at the box on the ground and asked.

"I'll help you pack your bags too." Gu Yanxi nodded, got out of bed and put on slippers and took out Li Chen's usual suitcase from the closet, completely forgetting the problem just now.

"Okay."

Li Chen walked to the cloakroom and took out a few sets of clothes at random and put them on the bed, watching Gu Yanxi go in and out of the room to help him sort out his luggage, there was an indescribable warmth in his heart.

Perhaps, that's what home feels like?

In the past, when Li Chen went on a business trip, the maid at home helped him pack his luggage, and she didn't sort it out for Li Chen when she was with Gu Yansi.

"I checked the temperature in the country, and now it's humid and cold, so I have to bring two coats and jackets, and this scarf as well, in case it cools down, there is still a preparation." Gu Yanxi took out a scarf from the cloakroom and carried it in his left hand, and carried two woolen coats in his right hand.

"Okay." Li Chen agreed with a light smile, his eyes full of Gu Yanxi's busy shadow.

In less than twenty minutes, Gu Yanxi sorted out the luggage of the two people in an orderly manner, and the housekeeper came up and moved the two suitcases to the car.

In the time before dinner, the two of them were nested in the room, Li Chen sat in the chair in front of the window and read a book, while Gu Yanxi held snacks and watched TV on the bed, and asked Li Chen to watch it together when he saw interesting content.

Such leisure time passed quickly, and Gu Yanxi was a little drowsy when Aunt Zhang came up and knocked on the door.

"Sir, Miss, dinner is ready." Aunt Zhang leaned over slightly and glanced at Gu Yanxi, who had fallen asleep on the bed with her eyes closed, and lowered her voice a lot.

Li Chen glanced up at Aunt Zhang and said, "Got it, go down." ”

Aunt Zhang nodded and exited the room, closing the door. Li Chen closed the book in his hand and put it on the chair, got up and walked to the edge of the bed with his long legs and sat down, looking at Gu Yanxi, who was asleep with his head tilted, he couldn't help laughing.

"Yanxi, wake up and eat." Li Chen gently pushed Gu Yanxi's shoulder, his voice was very soft, for fear that it would scare her.

"Huh?" Gu Yanxi opened his misty eyes, raised his hand and rubbed it, "It's time to eat......

Gu Yanxi sat up and slowed down, and only got out of bed after recovering his thoughts.

When Li Chen pulled Gu Yanxi downstairs, the aroma of food wafted from the entire first floor, and Gu Yanxi, who had no appetite, was also attracted by this fragrance and sped up.

"Slow down." Li Chen was afraid that Gu Yanxi would fall, so he also sped up his pace and followed behind.

"Little steamed buns!" Gu Yanxi was very happy when he saw a plate of gold and silver steamed buns on the table, and suddenly remembered that he would return to China tomorrow, which meant that he would be even happier if there were more delicious steamed buns after returning to China.

"Gluttonous cat, I'll return to China tomorrow, and I can't finish eating steamed buns." Li Chen couldn't help but tease when he saw her happy appearance.

"Hee-hee, that's different." The joy in Gu Yanxi's eyes dimmed a lot, of course she knew that there would be endless steamed buns after returning to China, but she just cherished the time to eat now.

After dinner, Gu Yanxi and Li Chen went back to their rooms early to sleep, because they had to go to the airport early the next morning.

Gu Yanxi wore casual and loose clothes and a fisherman's hat to cover her palm-sized little face tightly.

After getting on the plane, Li Chen has been using his laptop to deal with work, while Gu Yanxi is holding a tablet and swiping up the TV series that has been released in advance.

For a few hours, the two didn't communicate at all, just quietly doing their own thing.

Gu Yanxi fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane and watched the drama for a while, after all, she got up early, she casually stuffed the tablet in her hand into Li Chen's arms, and then leaned sideways to adjust a comfortable position and fell asleep.

Li Chen looked at the tablet computer that was suddenly stuffed into his arms and felt a little speechless, and motioned to the stewardess to ask for a thin blanket to cover Gu Yanxi's body, and he has been dealing with work since then.

Except for meal time, Gu Yanxi is almost sleeping.

The plane streaked across a white cloud in the sky and landed steadily at the airport in Shanghai.

After more than ten hours of flying, Gu Yanxi and Li Chen were already exhausted.

After putting his luggage into the hotel, Li Chen first took Gu Yanxi to a restaurant to solve lunch.

Gu Yanxi's father, Gu Tianhua, was released from prison close to evening, so they had plenty of time.

Gu Yanxi was not in a state all the time during the meal, and I don't know if it was because he was about to see his father who he hadn't seen for a long time, or because he was too far away and tired, Gu Yanxi's face had not been very good, and he was not happy at all in the face of a large table of food.

"Can't you eat it?" Li Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked sideways at the girl next to him.

"Well, not too hungry." Gu Yanxi nodded and replied.

"Eat less, and take your father to dinner in the evening."

"Hmm." Gu Yanxi nodded again.

After a simple meal, I waited in the restaurant for the manager of the Shanghai branch to send me a car.

After a few brief conversations with the manager, Li Chen got into the car with the car keys.

"There's still plenty of time to spare, do you have any places you'd like to go?" Li Chen asked after helping Gu Yanxi fasten her seat belt.

"Let's go home first, the house needs to be cleaned."

"Your house has always been cleaned regularly, and I told you before I came, don't worry." Li Chen stretched out his right hand and put it on Gu Yanxi's hand, holding her hand that was a little trembling.

"Thank you." Gu Yanxi looked back at Li Chen, his eyes full of gratitude and tenderness.

"We don't need to say that between us."

Gu Yanxi smiled, turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the car window.

This place is very different from foreign countries, cultural differences and environment make Gu Yanxi feel that this place is very fresh, the last time she returned here, she was deeply fascinated by it, always thinking about when she can come back often.

If she could, she really wanted to live with Li Chen in China.

Li Chen drove the car steadily to the gate of the prison where Gu Tianhua was located according to the instructions of the navigation, and after turning off the fire, Gu Yanxi got out of the car and stood at the grand and solemn prison gate and stared blankly.

Here, her father was imprisoned for four years.

The outside world is surrounded by high walls, and the sky inside is only a small speck of the sky.

If it weren't for her, my father wouldn't have made a mistake that caused such a big thing to happen, and my sister wouldn't have died unexpectedly.

I thought I could really live a good life, forget all these painful things, and forget that self-blame.

But she couldn't.

The moment he stood here waiting for his father to come out, Gu Yanxi still took all this fault on himself.

It turned out that the past few years have been just wishful thinking on her part, just comforting herself.

Li Chen sat in the car and looked at Gu Yanxi, who was in a low mood, and didn't know what to do.

Do you persuade her?

If it has nothing to do with her, it is not true.

Li Chen got out of the car, closed the door and half-leaned against the side of the car, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.

Glancing down at my watch, it was almost time.

After about twenty minutes, Gu Yanxi and Li Chen were a little tired, and they were about to go back to the car to wait, when the prison gate opened......

I saw a particularly thin and dark-skinned middle-aged man walk out, followed by two prison guards.

Gu Yanxi kept staring at the prison gate, and when she saw the father who made her think about it, she quickly opened the car door and jumped down and ran in the direction of her father.

Li Chen got out of the car slowly and followed behind Gu Yanxi.

"Daddy!" Gu Yanxi watched his father's tears flow uncontrollably and threw himself into Gu Tianhua's arms.

"Xiaoxi, you've grown taller." Gu Tianhua also hugged his little daughter with tears in his eyes, and he has refused his daughter's visit for the past four years, because he doesn't want Gu Yanxi to run back and forth between the two countries.

He hopes that Gu Yanxi can have a good college time.

Gu Tianhua wiped the tears on his face and looked at Li Chen behind Gu Yanxi.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter for so many years, sorry for your trouble."

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Li Chen gestured to Gu Tianhua, "Get in the car and chat, it's cold at night." ”
