The night was deep, everything was quiet, and she vaguely heard the sound of the wind, which was not real, as if it was just a dream, Du Xiaoxian half-opened her eyes, but the pillow was empty, she was in a trance for a moment, and clearly remembered that Gu Nianbin was back, although she had already fallen asleep when he came back, but she heard him open the door, heard him go to the bathroom to take a bath, and heard him go into the room to sleep, was it just a dream?

There was a pale blue night light in the corner, and the faint light was very deserted in the room, and she propped herself up to look at the terrace, where there was indeed a familiar figure. So she put her mind at ease, it turned out that it was not a dream, he really came back.

Stepping off her shoes and getting out of bed, she walked quietly like a kitten, a tall figure standing in front of the window, his hair slightly disheveled, pulled down, looking a little lazy, the red light between his fingers flickered and dimmed, like a glittering ruby. The faint moonlight shone on him, shining like water, reflecting his silhouette like a clipper.

Du Xiaoxian hugged his waist from behind. The man seemed to be startled, quickly pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, and turned to look at her: "Why are you up?" ”

Du Xiaoxian's voice was low and soft, as if whispering: "You are not here." ”

The man wrapped her in his thick nightgown and said softly, "I'm here, how could I not be there, it's cold outside, let's go in." ”

Du Xiaoxian buried her head in his arms and didn't move, her breath sprayed on the man's thin pajamas, warm and itchy, Gu Nianbin gently stroked her back, and her voice became softer: "What's wrong?" Can't sleep? ”

"Brother," half-loud, Du Xiaoxian called him, and stopped talking, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

Gu Nianbin lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and hummed: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Gu's ......" The little girl finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Will it collapse?" ”

"Of course not," Gu Nianbin said, "With me, how could the Gu family collapse." ”

"But it's hard now, isn't it?"

Gu Nianbin was silent for a while before he said, "Yes, it's difficult." But it doesn't matter, Xian'er, if you encounter difficulties, solve it, although it is difficult, but everything will pass. ”

"Shen Li said that Jiang Kaiwei was seventy percent sure that he would win."

Gu Nianbin raised his head and distanced himself from her slightly: "When did you meet Shen Li?" ”

"I met Jiang Kaiwei at lunch today." Seeing that the man's face was not good, the little girl quickly told the matter one by one.

Gu Nianbin listened to her words, his face softened, and the corners of his mouth even showed a slight smile, "Jiang Kaiwei left early?" It seems that he was by you. ”

"I'm not angry with him," said the little girl, looking up at her bewilderment, "I'm just reasoning with him." ”

"He is not a reasonable person, so he is most afraid of others reasoning with him, as soon as you say it, of course he can only leave."

Du Xiaoxian said: "That's because he has a weak heart. ”

Gu Nianbin smiled, copied her with his big hand, picked her up and entered the house, "Sleep, there will be a battle tomorrow, I have to take care of my spirits." ”

He uncovered the still warm quilt, put the little girl down, and went to bed himself, Du Xiaoxian took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, his fingers gently scratched on the pajamas on his chest, Gu Nianbin grabbed her hand: "Don't move, go to bed quickly." ”

Du Xiaoxian didn't move, but she was unwilling, she raised her head slightly and kissed his neck lightly, she rarely took the initiative, so she was very shy, her lips just stuck to the man's hot neck and didn't dare to move.

The man sighed and patted her on the back, his voice seemed to be sleepy, low and vague: "Don't make trouble, sleep." ”

Du Xiaoxian was a little aggrieved, after all, it was rare for her to take the initiative once, but she was relieved in an instant, when she encountered such a thing, who would have the heart to think about anything else, but she seemed to be ignorant. But the heart is even more anxious, the man has always been hungry for her, almost singing every night, but after returning from Yawan, he has never touched her once. This shows that the matter is really serious!

The man's breathing gradually became heavier, and he snored slightly, he should have fallen asleep, but Du Xiaoxian couldn't sleep for a long time, put his face on his chest, and quietly listened to his heartbeat, only this sound was the best lullaby, and finally let her fall asleep slowly.

When he woke up in the morning, the man was not there as usual, Du Xiaoxian turned over, held Gu Nianbin's pillow in his arms and continued to sleep, his breath remained on the pillow, and he was hugged in his arms as if he was holding him.

Take a nap, still get up, open the curtains, it's a gloomy day, the lead-gray clouds are so heavy that they seem to be pressed down at any time, it's also strange, it's been a long time since the beginning of spring, the weather hasn't improved, it's always a rainy day, and it's annoying.

Du Xiaoxian finished breakfast, made himself a cup of hot tea, stood in front of the window in a daze with a cup, and sure enough, it was raining again, it was not too big, the sound of the raindrops hitting the glass was very subtle, like a spring silkworm gnawing on mulberry leaves, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it.

Looking out of the rain-soaked glass windows, the scenery outside looks blurry and distorted, and you can't see as far away as usual, only the nearby buildings and the traffic below, and the distance is gray.

In such weather, people also seem to be sluggish, Du Xiaoxian originally wanted to paint, but he couldn't be interested at the moment, just looking at the smoke and rain in a daze.

After drinking most of the cup of tea, I was thinking about whether to mix some hot water, but the doorbell rang, Du Xiaoxian was slightly stunned, she has few visitors here, who could it be?

As soon as the door opened, she froze suddenly, Fang Yaru looked at her and smiled slightly: "Xiaoxian, long time no see." ”

Du Xiaoxian was very flustered when she came back to her senses, since she was with Gu Nianbin, what she was most afraid of seeing was Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian, she always felt that she had done something wrong, and she wished that she would not see each other for the rest of her life.

"Won't you let me in?" Fang Yaru was born in a famous family, and her gestures were elegant and decent.

Du Xiaoxian was dwarfed, at a loss, and stumbled and said, "Husband, madam, hurry, please come in." ”

Fang Yaru was smiling on her face, but she sighed secretly in her heart, how could such a timid and cowardly girl be the daughter-in-law of their Gu family, she didn't know if she could go to the kitchen, she wouldn't be able to go to the hall anyway.

Du Xiaoxian invited Fang Yaru to sit in the living room, ran to the kitchen to make a cup of hot tea, gently put it in front of her, and lowered her head and pestle.

Fang Yaru looked kind, beckoned and said, "You can sit down too, I have something to say." ”

Du Xiaoxian didn't dare to raise his eyes, and sat on the chair opposite him stiffly.

"Xiaoxian," Fang Yaru's voice was very slow, as if she was afraid of startling her: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to scold you, it's really recent," she sighed: "Recently, Nian Bin has been in big trouble, and our Gu family has encountered difficulties, so we really have to come to beg you." ”

She used the word begging, Du Xiaoxian was so frightened that she almost stood up again, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, madam, what do you want me to do, I'll do it, don't say begging, I ......" She lowered her eyes, "You should scold me......"

"Let's not talk about the previous things," Fang Yaru took off the scarf around her neck and put it on the sofa, as if she was more relaxed, "To be honest, you and Nian Bin are together, his father and I don't agree, it was he who went back to beg us, knelt in the hall all morning, and really acquiesced after looking at the pitiful, but he only promised you to be together, marriage is absolutely impossible, even if you give birth to a child for him, we will not let you enter the door of the Gu family, you should think about the reason for this." Our Gu family's hundred-year-old lintel, marrying all famous families, saying that we are feudal, the door is not appropriate, and the marriage of the wrong household is not blessed in the Gu family. Hope you understand. ”

"I understand," Du Xiaoxian said softly, "It's already my blessing to be with the young master, and people can't be too greedy." I know that I am worthy of a lot of masters, and I also try to leave him, but young master, he ......" Du Xiaoxian's eyes were red, afraid that he would cry, so he bit his lip and didn't dare to continue.

Fang Yaru sighed: "I know that you are a good boy, but Nianbin is too persistent, he has grown up, and he doesn't listen to us for many things, so I came to you today." As long as you don't get married, you will be fine, but recently, maybe you also know that the Gu family is in trouble, this crisis is really dangerous, the shareholders' calls have come to the house, his father is not in good health, and he is so anxious that he is bedridden, and now there is only one person who can save the Gu family, that is, Xia Xiaowan, the Xia family said, as long as Nian Bin agrees to marry Xiaowan, the Xia family will help the Gu family. ”

Du Xiaoxian lowered her head and didn't say anything, but she kept biting her lip, and a trace of bright red slowly overflowed on her lips, dyeing her pink lips into a surging color, and the fishy sweetness overflowed into her mouth, but the little girl seemed to be unknown, still biting tightly, Fang Yaru's voice seemed to come from a very distant place, but it was clear and sound.

"Although our Gu family has a big business, but because of this, it is cumbersome to spread too big, and it will affect the whole body, if there is no external help this time, Gu's century-old foundation will really be ruined. If that's really the case, Nian Bin is the sinner of the Gu family, Xiaoxian, you were not born in a rich family, maybe you don't know the meaning of inheritance, as the controller of every Gu family, he has the responsibility and obligation to pass on the ancestral family business from generation to generation, his father is soft and not in good health, and he is not a good heir, but he did his best to support the Gu family, and it was passed on to Nian Bin smoothly, since Nian Bin took over, Gu's family is thriving, everyone says that he is stronger than his father, and his ability is obvious to all, Do you really want him to be a sinner for the ages for you? ”

Sinners through the ages! No, no, no, Du Xiaoxian shook her head, how could she let Gu Nianbin be a sinner for the ages, absolutely not!

The sound of the rain outside gradually became louder, the window pane was crackled, as if there was a wind coming in, coldly hitting the face, with a bone-chilling cold, being sucked into the body, even the blood was as cold as ice, slowly stagnating, unable to flow, this chill took away her temperature, the whole body gradually became cold, Du Xiaoxian felt like she was sitting in the ice and snow, only felt cold......
