Midday.

Restaurant.

The three of them ate at the dining table.

Gu Lichen finished eating first, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, looked at Su Yimo and said, "I have to go back to Kyoto for Family Day in a while, and I may come back late in the evening, so you don't have to wait for me." ”

"yes, okay."

Su Yimo's expression did not change, she was still smiling, but her heart was like pressing a stone, and she kept sinking.

"Daddy, are you really going to be back late? But today..."

"Xiaobao, come, your favorite chicken leg."

Xiaobao was just about to say that today was Su Yimo's birthday, when he was blocked by a chicken leg picked up by Su Yimo.

"What's wrong today?"

Gu Lichen had already stood up and was about to leave, but when he heard Xiaobao's words, he stopped again, looked at him in surprise and asked.

"No, nothing... I mean, I'm going to sleep with you today. ”

Xiaobao glanced at Su Yimo, who was looking at him with warning, rolled his eyes wide, and lied with an unhappy face.

"Probably not tonight, tomorrow, good. I'm leaving, you eat slowly. ”

"Goodbye, Daddy."

Watching Gu Lichen's back disappear at the door of the restaurant, Su Yimo put down her hand, lowered her eyelids, and hid the loss in her eyes.

Yang Rong's words rang in her ears, "Do you think if Li Chen were asked to choose between you and the family, would he choose you or the family?" ”

At that time, she was not sure, she still had luck in her heart, but now, she was sure.

In his heart, the family is more important than her.

"Mommy, what's wrong with you? What do you think? Why don't you eat it? ”

Xiaobao saw Su Yimo holding chopsticks in a daze, tugged at her sleeve, and asked.

"Mommy can't eat, you can eat, eat more to grow taller?"

Su Yimo said while serving him vegetables.

"Oh, Xiaobao knows, Xiaobao will try to eat more."

Xiaobao took a big bite of chicken thighs and said vaguely.

Twilight is approaching, Su Yimo received birthday wishes from Zhou Ning and Andy, and asked her to go to their house to celebrate her birthday, and receive gifts by the way.

Su Yimo leaned on the trunk, drank coffee, blew the cool wind, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery to reply to Andy, saying that she was going to her aunt's house, and after replying to the message, she was just about to dial Zhou Ning's number when her mobile phone rang.

Su Yimo looked at the name on the screen, and her eyes were slightly red.

It was Shen Zhuo who called, and every time she had a birthday, he would take her to dinner and give her gifts.

Su Yimo sniffed and picked up the phone.

"Happy birthday, Yimo." The man's warm voice came from the phone, and Su Yimo almost didn't shed tears when he heard it.

"Thank you, Brother Shen Zhuo."

Su Yimo took a breath and eased his emotions for a while.

"Yimo, what's wrong with you? Why doesn't the voice sound happy? ”

In the gym on the top floor of the villa, Shen Zhuo had just finished running, and asked with a frown while wiping his sweat.

"No, I... I have a cold. ”

Su Yimo rubbed her nose and lied.

"Yimo, come out, come out and I'll celebrate your birthday."

Shen Zhuo didn't poke her, took the water handed by the servant, unscrewed it, raised his head and drank a few sips.

"Okay."

Su Yimo hung up the phone, returned to the bedroom, found Xiaobao, and told him that Uncle Shen was going to celebrate her birthday, and they would have dinner together in the evening, so he took him to the car and went out of Zijinyuan.

Kyoto Gujia.

Because it was Family Day, all the Gu family members gathered together and sat at several tables lively.

Gu Lichen endured the hustle and bustle, slowly and logically, eating the same as chewing wax, he really didn't like this kind of occasion, but there was no way, in order to make the master

Grandma was happy that he had to come.

Old Man Gu and Old Madam Gu saw Gu Lichen, and their faces were full of irrepressible pride and pride.

As if written, look at their grandchildren, how good, how good.

"Li Chen, you haven't got a family yet, have you?"

A distant relative looked at Gu Lichen intently and asked, by toasting the old man and the old lady.

Before Gu Lichen could speak, Yang Rong spoke for him first.

"I'm already engaged, and I'm the eldest lady of the Lu family."

As soon as she heard that it was the eldest lady of the Lu family, the relative's face instantly darkened.

He originally wanted to introduce his daughter to Gu Lichen, but he didn't expect that he had already made a marriage, and the object was still the eldest lady of the Lu family.

"My mom remembers wrong, no."

Gu Lichen didn't raise his eyelids, wiped his mouth and said.

Yang Rong's face suddenly darkened, and the faces of her relatives suddenly rained and cleared.

"So what type of girl do you like? Look at me..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Lichen spoke again.

"I have someone I like, thank you."

Now the relatives' faces also darkened.

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to their twists and turns, looked at Gu Lichen, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Why didn't Xiaobao come?"

”

"Yes, yes, why didn't Xiaobao come with you, grandma wants to kill him."

The old lady frowned and asked thoughtfully.

"Mom's birthday today, Xiaobao wants to accompany her."

Gu Lichen glanced at the two old men and said,

"Oh, like this, Li Chen, if you have time, you can bring her to us to see, and the girl who can teach a sensible and obedient good child like Xiaobao should not be far behind."

Old Madam Gu patted Gu Lichen's hand lovingly and spoke.

Gu Lichen: "Hmm. ”

Yang Rong's fingertips holding the chopsticks were slightly white, she bit the lotus root slice hard, her heart was depressed, but she didn't dare to show half of it on her face.

The old man and the old lady have a high status in the Gu family, and she will never dare to offend.

I can only hold on to laughter.

It seems that it is necessary for her to let Xue Qi come to please the old man and the old lady in the future.

"I'll eat it, you eat slowly."

After eating for a while, Gu Lichen put down his chopsticks, got up, and left the table.

He walked to the balcony, pulled out a cigarette, leaned over the flame that Xiang Bai had started, and took a deep breath.

"Have you bought the gift?"

Xiang Bai nodded, "It's done." ”

"Young master, don't you want Miss Su to know, do you want to surprise her?"

"Well, stay a little longer and we'll go back."

…

A luxurious and elegant restaurant.

"Uncle Shen, I miss you so much."

When Xiaobao saw Shen Zhuo, he instantly threw himself into his arms and said sweetly.

"I miss you so much, little treasure."

Shen Zhuo hugged Xiaobao, who looked like a ball, and kissed him heavily on the face.

"Uncle Shen, you are so good, you remember Mommy's birthday every year."

Xiaobao hugged Shen Zhuo's neck, and he was crooked.

In the past, when he didn't have a dad, he treated Uncle Shen as a dad, but now although he has a dad, but dads are a facial paralysis who often puts on an iceberg face, and he has almost never been so intimate with him.

"Happy birthday, Yimo."

Shen Zhuo touched Xiaobao's head and handed the birthday gift to Su Yimo.

"Thank you."

Su Yimo took the gift and opened it, and inside was a delicate box, which contained a valuable crystal bracelet.

"It's so beautiful."

Xiaobao stared at the bracelet, his eyes straight.

Shen Zhuo: "Do you like it?" ”

Su Yimo nodded, "It's beautiful, I like it very much." ”

"Come, I'll bring it to you."

Shen Zhuo walked up to her and took out the bracelet and put it on her wrist.

Put it on, Shen Zhuo sat back in his seat, and Xiaobao stuck to him again.

"Xiaobao, come down, don't always stick to your Uncle Shen Zhuo."

Su Yimo beckoned to Xiaobao and said.

"Oh."

Xiaobao slid off Shen Zhuo's body in frustration and walked to Su Yimo's side, and Su Yimo carried him to the seat next to him.

"It's okay, I like children very much, especially Xiaobao."

Shen Zhuo saw that Xiaobao was unhappy, and pinched his little fleshy face and said.

"I like Uncle Shen too."

Xiaobao ate the fruit and smiled happily at Shen Zhuo.

The three of them were talking and laughing and eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and warm.

Outside the restaurant.

Roadside.

Maybahri.

Gu Lichen looked at this warm picture, not only feeling dazzling, but also piercing.

His face was pale, and his eyes were deep and cold, like an ice cave in the abyss, bottomless and cold.

"Young Master..."

Xiang Bai forgot to glance at the incomparably harmonious three people in the restaurant, and looked at Gu Lichen distressed and sad.

The young master specially flew back from Kyoto to celebrate Miss Su's birthday, and came to look for her without even returning home, but he didn't expect to be greeted by such a scene.

"Let's go."

Gu Lichen turned his head, raised his hand, and threw the gift next to him out of the window.

"Yes..."

Xiang Bai sighed faintly, started the car, and slid into the traffic.

Behind the car, the delicate gift box fell to the ground, revealing the luxurious and beautiful diamond ring lying inside.

A car came and crushed the box, and the ring rolled out of the box, rolled all the way into the sewer, and disappeared in an instant.

"It's a shame who threw such a beautiful box on the road."

Su Yimo inadvertently saw the crushed box and sighed regretfully.

Shen Zhuo followed her line of sight and lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "Yes, it's a pity." ”

Su Yimo looked at the box, and didn't know why her heart felt a faint pain, as if something important was leaving her.

…

After eating.

Shen Zhuo sent the mother and son back to her small house.

Su Yimo got out of the car with Xiaobao in his arms, held his little hand and waved at Shen Zhuo.

"Brother Shen Zhuo, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Uncle Shen."

"Goodbye, let's go back."

After watching Shen Zhuo leave, the two went upstairs hand in hand.

"Mommy, do you want to call Dad Bi and ask him if he's back?"

Su Yimo pushed the door open, Xiaobao entered, turned around and asked her.

"Well, you can fight."

She closed the door, took out her phone from her bag, and handed it to Xiao Baodao.

Putting the bag down, Su Yimo changed her clothes while paying attention to Xiaobao's words.

The call was very short, and Xiaobao hung up the phone after only a few words.

"What did Daddy say?"

Su Yimo coughed lightly, pretending to be casual and couldn't wait to ask.

"Daddy said he wasn't coming back, let's not wait for him."

Really...

Su Yimo was lost in her heart, and a touch of sadness appeared on her face, but it was fleeting.

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh... Well, it's not early, you go take a shower, you're done with Mommy. ”

"Okay."

Xiaobao undressed and walked towards the bathroom.
