Holding a grand birthday ball for Gu Niannian is what Gu Guangxian and Fang Yaru meant.

The news that the Gu family got a granddaughter has long spread in the upper class circles of G City, although in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Niannian is an illegitimate child, but in the hearts of Gu Guangxian and Fang Yaru, her baby granddaughter who fell from the sky is the hope of the Gu family's future. As for the unjustification of what some idlers say, it's all nonsense, in their opinion, it is only a matter of time before Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian will eventually get married.

Therefore, Gu Guangxian insisted on doing a big job, so that everyone in G City knew that Gu Niannian was the Gu family's Miss Sun, and he had another purpose to make those women who peep at Gu Nianbin retreat, and their Gu family identified Du Xiaoxian as the daughter-in-law.

Although Gu Guangxian has not asked about the world for many years, his connections are still there, and invitations are widely distributed in his name, and many retired bigwigs also sell his face to attend, and for a while, the whole city is a sensation.

The birthday ball was held at the Splendid Hotel, which Xia Xiaowan begged for with Gu Nianbin, after Du Xiaoxian came back, she had been embarrassed to see her, but she really wanted to have a chance to atone for her sins, so as soon as she heard that the Gu family was going to hold a birthday ball for Gu Niannian, she immediately went to Gu's to find Gu Nianbin.

Gu Nianbin refused at first, saying that the Gu family's affairs did not need outsiders to intervene, but Xia Xiaowan begged bitterly, and when it came to sadness, she almost cried bitterly, Gu Nianbin couldn't see women crying and crying, so he had to agree.

In fact, this birthday party, Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian did not mix much, Fang Yaru, Gu Guangxian, Gu Shanshan, Xia Xiaowan and Shao Baiqing were in charge, and even Jiang Kaiwei did his part under the coercion of his wife, so on that day, Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian only needed to dress up to attend.

Du Xiaoxian stood in the dreamy hall, looking around, there were pink flower balls and pink ribbons everywhere, and the blue background gauze screen at the door spelled out the words Happy Gu Niannian's fifth birthday with pink petals. The huge LED screen plays Gu Niannian's life photos. The table is assembled in a long line, covered with a pink tablecloth and printed with large shallow roses. The amber wine glass is built into a huge pyramid taller than a person, crystal clear, and people only feel shocked! The plates containing the food are also pink, with a bright glaze twisted with petals, like large pink flowers blooming on the table......

Du Xiaoxian looked at the same place, her face was full of surprise, and it wasn't until her eyes swept to the familiar figure that she restrained a little.

Gu Nianbin walked towards her, there was no anger on his body, his eyes were not cold, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, as if he was smiling.

She stood there in a daze, a little uncomfortable.

In the two days that she lived in Yuefeng Mountain, Xiao Bonian sent Ah Ling over to serve, and during the day, she and Ah Ling took Nian Nian to climb the mountain and see the scenery, but they didn't feel bored.

Gu Nianbin came back every night, but he came back very late, and it was often when Niannian fell asleep that he heard the sound of him coming back. Du Xiaoxian knew that he didn't go home because he didn't want Fang Yaru and Gu Guangxian to see the injuries on his face, but in fact, the corners of his mouth were broken, and he couldn't see anything after the scab.

In the middle of the night last night, she was thirsty, went downstairs to get water to drink, when passing through the hall, by the faint light outside the window, there seemed to be a person sitting on the sofa, she was suddenly startled, but instantly put her mind at ease, the figure was very familiar, in the darkness, his eyes were as bright as paint, and he looked at her fixedly.

She stood there and didn't dare to move, her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in the room, Gu Nianbin's face became clear, his eyes were very unfamiliar, with a little confusion, and as if surprised, but he didn't speak, nor did he make any moves, just looked at her.

The gaze made her a little nervous, and she wanted to leave, but her feet could not move, as if she was frozen.

Gu Nianbin finally stood up and walked towards her slowly, stepping on the carpet, silently, approaching her step by step, she was so nervous that she only heard the sound of her own heartbeat: Bang! Bang bang!

In the darkness, the man's eyes flickered like cold stars, as if to capture the soul, she finally couldn't help it, turned around and fled, because she was too panicked, she hit the wall, and the muffled sound sounded, the man strode over, grabbed her arm, and turned on the wall lamp, and the light on the ceiling suddenly brightened, and she saw the small self in the man's eyes, with a panicked look.

Gu Nianbin seemed to be stunned for a moment, quickly distanced himself from her, the light in his eyes dimmed, indifference climbed up his face again, and then went upstairs without saying a word.

She stood there for a long time, unmoving, until her heart beat leveled off before she went out into the kitchen.

He had lived in the mountains for two days, but had only had one frightening encounter in the middle of the night last night, and when he left, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to disdain to talk to her.

Du Xiaoxian didn't know, why did Gu Nianbin make such a gentle appearance now?

The man approached her, his arm raised slightly, Du Xiaoxian didn't know what to do, he was still stunned, Gu Nianbin's brows were slightly furrowed, and he was a little impatient: "Are you going to let me carry it all the time?" ”

There were already people watching them, Du Xiaoxian suddenly realized, and hurriedly grabbed the man's arm, she understood, the man was doing it for others to see. Regardless of their relationship? In front of outsiders, they can only play the role of Love, Qin Se and Ming, after all, this is their daughter's birthday ball. You can't let everyone see the joke.

Gu Nianbin took her to the door to greet the guests.

The man is long and elegant, the woman is delicate and timid, pure and beautiful, just standing together, how to look at it.

Du Xiaoxian was actually very afraid of such an occasion, so she held Gu Nianbin's arm tightly and tried to keep smiling, and when she came out, Gu Nianbin had already whispered to her: "You don't need to speak, just keep smiling." ”

When he said this, there was a faint smile on his face, but there was no warmth in his voice, Du Xiaoxian knew his attitude, but as soon as she was afraid, she couldn't care about that, and instinctively leaned on the man.

The guests entered the venue one after another, Gu Nianbin greeted them one by one, just the right amount of cold noise, if someone looked at the women around him curiously, he would introduce Du Xiaoxian to them like a gentleman, and naturally and affectionately hugged her waist and talked and laughed.

Although she knew that he was acting, Du Xiaoxian was still a little flattered, and she snuggled into the man's arms and smiled silly.

Soon she saw some acquaintances, Shao Baiqing, Nina brought her son Shao Chengxuan over, Shao Chengxuan's child is also five years old, but he is a head taller than Gu Niannian, like a little gentleman, very polite to greet Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian.

Xia Nanze came with his parents, and the turmoil of the year made the two elders of the Xia family very curious about Du Xiaoxian, who had never met, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and greeted her with a smile.

Ling Yun also came with Cheng Mingchi, Du Xiaoxian was naturally very excited when she saw her old classmates, and let go of Gu Nianbin's arm to shake hands with them, but as soon as her waist tightened, the man fished her back again, and whispered in her ear: "Pay attention to proportion." ”

Du Xiaoxian doesn't know what to pay attention to, can't she be happy?

But what the man said, she listened to it, and the rules took Gu Nianbin's arm again.

Then she saw Shen Li and Zhou Ting again, the two came in together, but one was a little before and the other was later, I don't know if they came together.

Zhou Ting actually hated Du Xiaoxian, because only she had seen Gu Nianbin's most painful appearance, she thought that she would never be able to forgive Du Xiaoxian in her life, but time has passed, seeing Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian standing together so intimately, what else does she have to complain about? immediately gave Du Xiaoxian a big hug and whispered, "It's good that you're back!" ”

Du Xiaoxian was slightly shocked, this sentence seemed familiar.

She remembered that a long time ago, because of Xia Xiaowan's provocation, she left Gu Nianbin, and later the misunderstanding was cleared up, and when she returned to Gu Nianbin, Zhou Ting also hugged her like this and said the same thing.

This sentence reminded her of the promise she had made at the time, she said, "I will never leave you again!" ”

The man's gaze was glued to her face, eager and affectionate, and she knew why the man's gaze was inaccurate, because she had sworn such a vow and broken her word! He was insecure about her, so he refused to let her out of his sight.

She remembered that he begged her to go to the company with him, and she asked why? The man said that when he came back because he was afraid, he didn't see her again! Such a big man, looking at her pitifully, as if he would cry if she didn't agree. That expression made her heart palpitate and be sad. So I remember it to this day.

Gu Nianbin was still greeting Zhou Ting, Du Xiaoxian listened carefully, and only then did she know that Zhou Ting had not done it in the company, but went to open a flower shop.

Zhou Ting said with a smile, "Xiaoxian, now I am also the CEO of a flower shop!" ”

Shen Li interjected next to him, "It's still the CEO!" You are the only one, both the boss and the employee, who manages those flowers and plants every day, what does it mean? ”

Zhou Ting snatched him, "How do you know it's boring?" Like you're a bee and butterflies all day long? It's not on the same level as someone as low-level as you! ”

Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian both laughed.

Shen Li smiled helplessly, "It's a pity that you're not in the business world, maybe you can get a general manager in time." ”

Zhou Ting scoffed, "It's not uncommon for me to have a general manager like you, and I do all the things that lack virtue under the guise of being rich and handsome!" ”

"Hey, you're interesting, aren't you?" Shen Li said: "Isn't it just the last time you released your pigeons, holding grudges until now, it's really stingy!" ”

"I'm stingy, don't call me!" Zhou Ting seemed to be angry, and she stood up to him every sentence.

Du Xiaoxian couldn't help laughing when she saw that they were arguing, and naturally hugged Gu Nianbin's arm, and the whole person leaned up, Gu Nianbin glanced at her quietly, and didn't react, just beckoned Shen Li and Zhou Ting to go in.

Xia Xiaowan and Jiang Kaiwei were late, and when they saw Du Xiaoxian, they smiled a little unnaturally.

The things of the year were all thanks to these two, especially Jiang Kaiwei, the initiator, if he hadn't provoked that business war, how could Du Xiaoxian leave?

The relationship between Gu Nianbin and Jiang Kaiwei is not much better because of Xia Xiaowan! Nodding, even if she said hello, Xia Xiaowan looked a little like she wanted to say something, but there were people coming and going, she didn't say anything in the end, smiled at Du Xiaoxian, and took Jiang Kaiwei in.

After standing for a while, there were fewer people coming, and Shao Baiqing came out and said, "Nian Bin, it's almost over, you guys come in!" ”

Gu Nianbin didn't move, "You say hello inside, and we'll stay for a few minutes." ”

In fact, there really wasn't anyone coming, Du Xiaoxian didn't know why he was still staying outside, but at this moment, the man was smiling, his eyes were gentle, she was willing to be next to him like this, let his breath surround her, so familiar and warm, Du Xiaoxian was slightly dizzy, and made a bold move that she didn't even expect, she passed her hand through Gu Nianbin's arm and gently held the man's big hand.
