Chapter 7: Seeing the Light
On the weekend, Mu Yao deliberately got up early in the morning, opened the door and took a look, just in time to see Gu Linjue who had just come back from morning exercise.
She was surprised for a while, and then full of shame, she had lived together for several days, and she realized that Gu Linjue had been getting up so early to go to morning exercises.
Gu Linjue poured a glass of water, leaned on the platform casually, and asked, "It's hard to see you get up so early at work, what's wrong with this time?" ”
Mu Yao replied, "Didn't we go to the Lin family today?" I wake up a little early to prepare. ”
Gu Linjue nodded, looked at the white sweatshirt and black trousers on her body, and nodded: "That's it, it's good-looking." ”
Mu Yao looked down at himself and said speechlessly: "Brother Lin Jue, this is the clothes I usually wear at home." ”
He tried to make her feel casual.
However, Mu Yao still changed into a slightly more formal chiffon shirt and skirt, put on a camel-colored coat, and ran to Gu Linjue for a few turns, boasting that he was light and warm.
Gu Linjue drove and slid steadily into the traffic of the weekend trip.
He told her about the situation of the Lin family while driving: "Grandpa is in good health, and now he is still the head of the Lin family, and there is an aunt and an uncle at home, and the aunt has a son named Lin Jing, who is a little nonsense, if he provokes you, don't pay attention." ”
The car stopped in front of the red light, and Gu Linjue turned her head to look at her: "Auntie also has a daughter named Lin Jin, who is the same age as you." ”
Mu Yao took it seriously in his heart.
Gu Linjue started the car, and just as he was about to continue, the car phone suddenly rang.
As he answered the phone, his brow furrowed more and more.
After a while, he hung up the phone and parked the car on the side of the road: "Yaoyao, there is something wrong with the hospital, I need to go there." ”
Mu Yao asked, "What's wrong?" Is it serious? ”
"There was a car accident, and there were a few injured people who were sent over, so I'll go and see it and come back." He looked into her eyes and said, "Yaoyao, make a phone call to Mom, and we'll go another day." ”
"Are you going to be going for a long time?"
Gu Linjue pondered for a while and replied, "It won't be too long." ”
Mu Yao said: "Then let's go today, everyone is waiting, it's not good for me to go to Lin's house for the first time and miss the appointment like this." ”
Gu Linjue looked at her for a while and nodded: "Then you can find a café to stay for a while......
"Brother Lin Jue, don't worry about me," Mu Yao comforted him and said, "You go and get busy with you first, I'll wait for you at the Lin family." ”
Seeing that he was still not at ease, Mu Yao smiled and said, "Even if other people are not easy to get along with, there is still a mother, she will definitely take care of me, don't worry." ”
Watching Gu Linjue's car merge into the vast sea of cars, Mu Yao rubbed his face and took a deep breath, shaking his spirits, checking his equipment, as if he was about to go to the battlefield.
When he arrived at Lin's house, when Mu Yao didn't know how to deal with the security personnel's questioning, he saw a familiar figure walking over.
"Aunt Lin," Mu Yao subconsciously greeted, and when he saw Lin Yin's eyebrows raised, he hurriedly changed his words: "Mom." ”
Lin Yin bowed slightly, walked over and took her hand and walked in, without saying a word, let the doorman who was still aggressive just now consciously step aside.
After walking in, Mu Yao felt magical.
As if it has not experienced the changes of the years, the overall style follows the antique flavor of the family's tradition, and harmoniously integrates modern elements, changing the traditional stagnation and heaviness, so that the whole building has both classical charm and shows an inclusive tolerance.
The light and shade of the light are constantly changing with the style of the artwork, and in the light and shadow, Mu Yao feels as if he is walking in a dream paved with brocade.
"Xiao Jue just told me that you are married, and I didn't invite you to sit at home." Lin Yin pulled her to sit down and said in a quiet voice.
Mu Yao hurriedly explained: "We did it too hastily, and we didn't tell you that we didn't do it thoughtfully." ”
"Yaoyao, you don't have to speak for him, it's Xiao Jue who is too reckless." Lin Yin said: "Yaoyao, this time it is Xiao Jue who owes you. ”
Mu Yao said: "No, Brother Lin Jue has always been very good to me, I, I have never complained about him." ”
Lin Yin looked at her for a while, and then silently turned her gaze away: "Since you can understand, I don't have to say anything more." ”
After being silent for a while, a servant brought tea and put it in front of them, and Mu Yao was just about to thank him, when he heard Lin Yin ask, "Do you know the Lin family?" ”
Mu Yao replied sincerely: "I know one thing, the Lin family is a famous family in City B, and Brother Lin Jue also gave me a brief description of the people in the family." ”
Before Lin Yin could speak, he heard someone behind him say, "Sister, this is your daughter-in-law who suddenly appeared?" ”
Mu Yao panicked, Lin Yin patted the back of her hand soothingly, she turned around and saw a beautiful woman leaning on the sofa and looking at her.
"This is Auntie, Ms. Lin Mei." Lin Yin introduced them one by one: "My daughter-in-law, Mu Yao. ”
Mu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello aunt." ”
"Sister, my family is still so polite." Lin Mei walked over and looked at Mu Yao: "Yaoyao? That's what I can call you. ”
As soon as Mu Yao nodded, Lin Mei took her hand and sat down beside her.
Mu Yao was very unaccustomed to such a sudden intimacy, but he still endured it.
Lin Mei looked at this child, under the cover of her thin hair, she had a pair of distant mountain eyebrows, her eyes were as clear as a clear spring, and she pursed the corners of her lips, she was a child who could restrain her emotions well.
After being looked at for a long time, Mu Yao also raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Even if she didn't speak, she knew that this aunt had a strange attitude towards her.
Lin Mei sighed: "No wonder he doesn't like the girls I introduced to Lin Jue before, he likes such a beautiful girl." ”
Lin Yin drank tea and did not answer.
Mu Yao felt slightly embarrassed, but Lin Mei continued casually: "I have seen since I was a child that Lin Jue is a child with a big idea, no, I didn't inform my family about such a big thing as marriage, I didn't even see a girlfriend before, and suddenly brought back a daughter-in-law." She smiled and said, "Sister, you're also shocked, aren't you?" ”
Lin Yin said lightly: "Yaoyao is the child I watched grow up, and she is also my most satisfied daughter-in-law." Lin Jue is a sensible and measured child, he has been assertive since he was a child, he knows when he should do something, I am very relieved that he does things, there is nothing to make a fuss about. ”
After speaking, she took a sip of tea as if inadvertently and said, "Speaking of which, did Lin Jing bring his girlfriend back this time?" Is it still the same Miss Zhang last time? ”
Lin Mei's face changed, Mu Yao felt that the atmosphere was tense and embarrassing, at this time, the housekeeper walked up, bowed to Lin Yin and Lin Mei, and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the clothes for the guests are ready, please move to the dressing room." ”
Mu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could calm down, she saw the housekeeper smiling at her and said, "Little lady, according to the instructions of the eldest lady, I have also prepared a set of clothes for you, let Luo'er take you to change into it." ”
Looking at the complicated clothes, Mu Yao sighed, closed his eyes tiredly, and leaned his forehead against the mirror, wanting to let himself have a moment of tranquility.
She finally knew why Gu Linjue didn't have to bother with dressing up, it turned out that someone had already arranged it properly, but it made her feel a little uncomfortable, Mu Yao felt that she was like a marionette now, at the mercy of others without will.
It's not angry in my heart, they are competing, and they always have to make a fuss about her, and they are all Gu Linjue's elders.
"Little lady, can you be alone?" Luo'er asked outside.
Mu Yao came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, you go get busy first, I'll go out in a while." ”
Luo'er didn't respond, and Mu Yao could only stare at his clothes.
She is a child who grew up in an ordinary family, not to mention that she can't adapt to the service of servants in this house, and even when she heard the titles of "Mrs." and "Miss" for the first time, she thought that she had traveled to the Republic of China era.
Asking others to help her get dressed, she didn't dare to think about it before, and of course she didn't want to think about it, she always felt weird.
She tried to put the clothes on her body, very slim clothes, while secretly glad that she had not gained weight recently, while struggling that the zipper behind her seemed to be stuck in the clothes.
I couldn't see the situation behind me, after tossing for a long time, Mu Yao was sweating in a hurry - there was Gu Linjue's family waiting below, and she would definitely have to give someone a handle after a long time. Now I really regret that I didn't do it myself if I knew that I didn't let Luo'er stay here.
The door creaked open, Mu Yao's heart was relieved, and his voice was dyed with some light joy: "Luo'er, are you back?" Can you help me unravel this? ”
The person behind him approached, much taller than her, obviously not Luo'er, Mu Yao panicked and hurriedly turned around.
"Don't move." A deep voice came, and her heart, which had been wandering all afternoon, finally settled.
"Brother Lin Jue."
Gu Linjue looked at her drooping neck, a snow-white back that snaked down, and a back zipper that was jammed.
He silently curled the corners of his mouth and reached out to help her untie it.
The doctor's dexterity quickly brought her to pieces.
But he didn't retreat immediately, just stared at Mu Yao's cheeks and neck, which had turned pink.
He suddenly took her into his arms from behind and whispered in her ear, "Are you alright?" ”
Mu Yao's heart was about to explode, so he could only reply in a low voice: "Very good, Brother Lin Jue, I just knew that you have so many families." ”
At that time, Gu Linjue was always cold and lonely, which made her feel that he must be very lonely.
She too, she doesn't have such a big family, and she has never seen so many families.
Gu Linjue buried her head in her neck and was silent for a long time.
Mu Yao was still trembling slightly at first, but he leaned on motionless, as if he was just tired from work and wanted to rest on her shoulder for a while.
She slowly calmed down, and even pressed her head slightly against him, quietly feeling each other's breath entangled.
It was only at this moment that she really felt that she had married Gu Linjue, his wife, and someone who had to rely on each other in this life.
