Chapter 88: Trouble at the Dinner Party
Gu Mingzhe couldn't bear her being bullied, so he stood up for her and said, "She was worried that you would be reprimanded by your father in the study, so she came to me to ask about the situation." β
Gu Mingyuan didn't believe it at all, and asked rhetorically, "How can you explain that you are wearing pajamas?" β
"Dad spilled me a cup of tea in the study, and I have a problem going back to my room to change my clothes? Do you keep your eyes open to see if Miss Yan's clothes are neat and her hair is neat? β
"What if the you're done?" Gu Mingyuan hurried swearing.
"If I beat you to death, who are you insulting for three minutes?" Gu Mingzhe got angry and raised his fist to greet Gu Mingyuan.
Lu Yan didn't bother to watch the two brothers fight, so she went into the room by herself.
The two brothers were still arguing about a few minutes outside the door, and Lu Yan touched the lock pendant hanging on her chest, and couldn't hold back her laughter.
She thought silently in her heart, Gu Mingyuan, when you come back to your senses, I must ask you to kneel on the keyboard and apologize to me.
Gu Mingyuan, you must get better. I've suffered so much for you.
A short time later, Julia and the butler and others rushed to pull the rack.
Gu Mingyuan was injured on his forehead and stumbled back to the room.
Lu Yan took an alcohol cotton to wipe him, but he pushed him away. She also lost her temper, threw the alcohol cotton in his face, quickly hid in the corner and yelled at him: "Gu Mingyuan, you give me enough time, and if you continue to mess around like this, I will break up with you." β
Gu Mingyuan sat paralyzed on the carpet, and when he heard the word break up, his azure eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a fierce expression: "Break up? You don't want to. β
"Your bad performance, if you don't break up, will you keep it for the New Year?"
"Hmph."
"Liars, big liars. You said you would take me to Canada to eat and drink spicy food, take me to ski and skate, skydive in a glider, and attend a dinner party for celebrities and rich businessmen, but you left me in this place and you got yourself injured. Lu Yan pretended to complain.
Gu Mingyuan covered his head, as if he was trying to recall something.
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
Lu Yan took advantage of Gu Mingyuan's inattention and slipped over quietly. A paper bag was stuffed into the crack of the door, containing two sleeping pills and a note.
Gu Mingzhe wrote in a chic and wild style: "Medicine Gu Mingyuan, come to my room to sleep, and I'll leave the door for you." β
"This man is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Lu Yan complained secretly.
She hid the sleeping pills, pinched them into powder, and then quietly poured a glass of water for Gu Mingyuan, and coaxed in a soft voice: "Gu Shao, let's stop arguing." Drink a glass of water and go to bed. β
Gu Mingyuan glanced at her and didn't take it immediately.
It was already late at night, and the two of them were already tired.
Lu Yan yawned and persuaded, "I'm done drinking, won't you drink it?" β
Gu Mingyuan snorted lightly and went into the bathroom to wash the wound on his forehead.
Lu Yan hid the remaining sleeping pills, and then put the water cup on Gu Mingyuan's bedside.
However, Gu Mingyuan went to bed directly and didn't touch the water cup.
Lu Yan was unwilling, turned to face him, and asked, "Your lips are chapped, aren't you thirsty?" Previously in the country, you used to drink a glass of water before going to bed. β
"I don't have this weird fetish." Gu Mingyuan turned over and ignored it.
Lu Yan thought about it, got up and took a sip of water, and without doing anything, she directly blocked Gu Mingyuan's lips and crossed the water into his mouth when he was stunned.
"You!" Gu Mingyuan angrily pushed her away.
Lu Yan
wiped the corners of his mouth proudly, "If you refuse to drink, I will let you drink." Gu Mingyuan, if you like this way of drinking water, I'll feed you and drink it. β
"How the hell did you become my girlfriend, a shameless woman?"
"Can't remember? It's okay, I'll tell you. Before, I fiercely rejected your pursuit, and it was you who pestered me and forced me to be your girlfriend. If I don't agree, you will chase after you, you will follow me wherever I go, and give me gifts to make me happy. Well, you gave me this one around my neck. Lu Yan deliberately angered him.
Gu Mingyuan's face was cold, and his handsome facial features were about to wrinkle.
Lu Yan handed the water cup to him and threatened, "Do you drink it?" β
Gu Mingyuan took it angrily and drank it all.
It's done, and it won't be a problem for him to sleep until tomorrow afternoon.
After the commotion, the two fell asleep with their backs to back. A large gap was exposed in the middle, and the wind was whistling into it. Good thing the room was heated and not very cold.
Lu Yan couldn't sleep because of the medicine, and Gu Mingyuan fell asleep under the effect of the medicine, making a slight snoring sound. She sighed, turned to lay him flat, pulled his arm again, and found a comfortable position to lie beside him.
This kind of hugging and sleeping feels so good, like the familiar sleeping position when the relationship between the two was stable before.
Lu Yan twisted Gu Mingyuan's ears lightly and said, "Gu Mingyuan, when you get better, you must compensate me." β
This night, both of them slept relatively deeply.
Lu Yan was not woken up until after nine o'clock in the morning, while Gu Mingyuan still slept soundly.
Gu Ran was waiting outside the door, and as soon as she saw Lu Yan, she excitedly pulled her to the room to help choose the dress to wear tonight. Dozens of international famous brands, red and green, one-neck bandeau and other styles, filled the room.
"Sister-in-law, can you help me see which one suits me?"
Lu Yan flipped through a few pieces casually and found that the workmanship was excellent and the style was fashionable, and she couldn't tell the good from the bad. However, he still put forward a little opinion, "You don't need to walk the red carpet for dinner, and you don't need to think about mopping long dresses." In addition, the Spring Festival is festive, so don't wear pure white. β
"I watched the domestic evening party on TV, and everyone was dressed in red and purple, which was really joyful. By the way, sister-in-law, did you bring a dress? β
Lu Yan shook her head.
"I heard from my mother that she invited government dignitaries and friends to a party tonight, and the guests asked for formal attire. Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, pick one from me. After Gu Ran finished speaking, he picked up a bright gold one-shoulder dress and handed it to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan casually gestured and accepted it directly.
After returning to the room, Gu Mingyuan hadn't woken up yet. The brows are stretched, the corners of the mouth are straight, and the sleeping face is quiet like a child.
Lu Yan gently kissed the corner of his mouth and prepared clothes for him to wear at night.
During this period, Gu Mingzhe came twice, both for inconsequential matters. Gu Ran came once and asked Lu Yan to help choose the matching jewelry. In addition, Julia came once and cared about Gu Mingyuan's body.
And Gu Qiong, who was the most suspicious and should have appeared, did not come once, and always stayed on the first floor to receive relatives and friends who arrived early, and did not even send someone to ask about Gu Mingyuan's condition.
Lu Yan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she guessed wrong?
The dinner was held on time at 18:08, and Gu Mingyuan woke up an hour early. Lu Yan served him to dress and wash, and asked, "Did you know in advance that so many people were going to come to the house?" β
"I don't know." Gu Mingyuan's expression was cold, and his eyes were clearer than yesterday.
"I also heard from Gu Ran today that the dinner was like this
Great battle. I had just stood in the hallway for a while and noticed that even the embassy people had arrived. β
"Hmph, I don't know what moths they're going to come out of." Gu Mingyuan had a cold attitude and didn't care about the dinner at all.
After the two of them finished dressing, they walked down the spiral staircase.
Gu Ran and Anthony walked in front, Lu Yan and Gu Mingyuan walked behind, and the four of them walked off the stage under the gorgeous and dazzling lights, with hypocritical and polite smiles on their faces.
A crowd immediately rushed up to shake hands and greet them, and Julia stood next to them to introduce them to the guests. They are all celebrities and wealthy businessmen, and the dresses and jewelry they wear are dazzling and valuable, which is not inferior to the parties of Hollywood stars.
Lu Yan listened to the long list of English prefix titles, and her thoughts were almost overwhelmed.
The hundreds of square meters of living room underwear fragrant sideburns, crowded, elegant piano music accompanied by the lotus steps of the ladies, a harmonious scene of the Spring Festival carnival.
Lu Yan saw Gu Mingyuan being pulled away by Gu Qiong, and introduced him to two tall ladies with outstanding appearance.
Gu Mingyuan's expression was cold, and he didn't obey Gu Qiongyan like a few days ago. She frowned secretly and looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan's heart moved away and she took a small sip of champagne to suppress her shock. Fighting with this kind of woman with profound Taoism, she still needs time to practice.
Not long after, the music on the field was suddenly turned off, Gu Qiong was wearing a sauce-red sleeveless dress dress, and the queen stood by the piano with great momentum, and said: "Before the banquet begins, Miss Yan Yitong Yan from Chinese mainland brings you a Chinese-style piano solo, let us welcome with the warmest applause." β
This, what's the situation?
The spotlight hit Lu Yan's head, exposing her to everyone.
Lu Yan feels like the silly white sweet heroine in the TV series, who is being framed by the sinister and cunning wealthy mother-in-law.
Gu Mingyuan walked over in three or two steps and asked in a low voice, "Do you know how to play the piano?" β
Lu Yan pulled his sleeve and replied aggrievedly: "Does "Two Tigers" count? β
Gu Mingyuan somehow couldn't remember many things about her, but when he saw her aggrieved eyes, he felt very familiar, as if he had fought to the death for her.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you." Gu Mingyuan took her hand and said to everyone in fluent English: "Today is the Lunar New Year, and in China, we pay attention to reunion and harmony, so the opening song of today's dinner will be brought by me and my fiancΓ©e to everyone, wishing you friends a good New Year." β
Anthony and Gu Ran took the lead in applauding, and the atmosphere was immediately stirred up.
Gu Mingyuan, who was wearing a black tuxedo, took Lu Yan's hand and walked onto the stage with a gentleman. He clasped his fingers with her, conveying his thoughts to her.
Lu Yan learned the piano when she was a child, but she was not proficient in it, and only knew basic fingering and simple tunes.
Gu Mingyuan's proposal was vetoed by Lu Yan, and more than a hundred guests were waiting, she was very anxious, but her face remained calm.
"Is pop music OK? If I can't play it at the end, I can still sing a few lines. β
Gu Mingyuan nodded and asked, "Which tune?" β
""Flowers and Full Moon Nights"? "Liang Zhu"? "Encounter"? Lu Yan thought about it, and finally decided that the track was "Encounter", and found out the score.
Gu Mingyuan remembered it after reading it, and said to Lu Yan: "I can't teach you carefully, you only remember that these black and white keys correspond to 1234567, and when you officially play, I will report the number, and you will play along." Don't be nervous, I'm sure you can do it well. 2k reading network
