On the morning of the first day of the new year, Shang Yiqi slept until past ten o'clock. His mood swings were too great last night, and Gu Xiyan kept looking at him until he fell asleep before she dared to sleep. Of course, Gu Xiyan did not forget it before going to bed.
Put on your pajamas.
When Gu Xiyan got up in the morning, her mother-in-law had already cooked red date and lotus seed porridge downstairs. Businessmen have always had the custom of eating desserts on the morning of New Year's Day. Those who woke up first had breakfast first. As for Shang Yiqi's share, no need
Of course, someone would keep it for him.
Shang Yarou disappeared as soon as she finished her breakfast. Gu Xiyan wanted to leave, was it possible? Her husband hadn't woken up yet!
Merchants are very powerful in this capital city. There will definitely be no shortage of people coming to the merchants to pay New Year greetings throughout the day. Shang Yiqi doesn't like to deal with those people. In the past two years, he always packed his things on the morning of the first day of the new year.
Went back to his home.
This morning the visitors came one after another. Gu Xiyan's mother-in-law understood that Gu Xiyan was not good at dealing with these people, and soon let her go back to her room by herself.
When Shang Yiqi woke up, Gu Xiyan was sitting on the bed with her upper body bent and staring at him.
"Xi." Shang Yiqi stretched out a hand from the quilt and reached around Gu Xiyan's neck. In an instant, their faces were very close to each other.
Looking at each other, his heart suddenly softened. Thinking of the soothing words she whispered in his ear last night, he raised his head slightly and kissed Gu Xiyan's forehead.
"Get up and wash up quickly. There are a lot of people here." Gu Xiyan found that the actions of the two of them were too ambiguous at this moment, and she couldn't help but step back.
When the two of them went downstairs, they saw the lively scene in the living room from a distance. They hugged Gu Xiyan and went straight to the kitchen. Shang Yiqi obviously didn't want to go to the living room and get involved. Gu Xiyan went to get the hot lotus seed porridge.
When it was brought to him, he ate a few hastily and then put it on the table without wanting to take it.
The little girl was having a lot of fun playing in the living room. She was small and polite, so visitors would inevitably give her a few compliments.
"Qi, let's go out." After washing the dishes, Gu Xiyan realized that there was no reason for the two of them to stay in the kitchen.
Shang Yiqi didn't say anything, but directly led Gu Xiyan to the door. However, perhaps it was just a coincidence that as soon as the door was opened, Mu Xiaoxiao and a middle-aged man appeared in front of them. Seeing the man's
His posture was as if he was about to ring the doorbell.
"Uncle Mu, Xiaoxiao." Shang Yiqi greeted him calmly, and Gu Xiyan also shouted: "Uncle Mu, Miss Mu."
Shang Yiqi and the two took the initiative to make way for the two people outside the door. The middle-aged man didn't seem to like Gu Xiyan very much and ignored her. He directly said to Shang Yiqi: "Boy Shang, I haven't seen you in a few years."
, it’s rare to see you in the merchant’s compound this year. I heard that you are doing well outside now!”
Shang Yiqi's response was not distant but not warm either: "Uncle Mu is laughing, come in and sit down."
Including the Mu family father and daughter, there were even more people in the merchant's villa. Originally, the group in the living room were all Shang Baike's subordinates. Now they were meeting more people, and they had to be picked up and dropped off by Shang Baike's son and daughter-in-law. Thinking about this
It might be some important person, but they had no intention of participating. They each found an opportunity and left one after another.
Tea was being brewed in the living room. The man whom Shang Yiqi called Uncle Mu laughed when he saw Shang Baike and said, "Old Shang is in such a good mood. It will be a pleasure to make tea and chat this early in the morning!"
When Shang Baike saw his old friend coming to visit, he quickly stood up and shook his hand: "Old Mu, we have been friends for many years, don't you understand me yet?" Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao again, Shang Baike said lovingly: "Xiaoxiao too.
Come on, this kid is getting bigger and more beautiful, sit down quickly."
Shang Yiqi didn't intend to stay long, so he waved to the little girl, and said to Shang Baike and Uncle Mu: "Dad, Uncle Mu, I'll go back first if I have something else to do, you guys can chat."
As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao walked in, her pair of soft eyes followed Shang Yiqi closely. Now she heard that he wanted to leave her, but how could she hold back: "Brother Qi, can't you stay a little longer?"
As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao spoke, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look at her. Today, Mu Xiaoxiao was wearing a long velvet purple dress, with her long hair pulled up high with an amethyst rubber band. She had a pretty little face without makeup.
Each ear is adorned with a small rose-shaped earring.
Frankly speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao is not a great beauty, but she is the kind of person who is attractive to look at. The more you look at her, the more eye-catching she becomes. Coupled with the brittle and pitiful temperament that appears from time to time on her body, it is indeed very arousing.
A man's loving heart.
If Gu Xiyan met Mu Xiaoxiao for the first time today, she might be attracted to Mu Xiaoxiao. But she has known this woman for nearly three years, and she has a deep understanding of how different this woman is in front of and behind her. Due to today's
Due to the situation, the two tacitly chose not to interfere with each other.
As soon as the little girl heard her father say that she was leaving, she jumped a few steps and took Gu Xiyan's hand.
"Xiao Qi, I didn't see that your Uncle Mu is here. Can't you put off anything until another day?" Shang Baike knew that his son had always told the truth, but in front of an old friend for many years, his daughter said this.
, he had to protect Mu Xiaoxiao’s face no matter what.
Shang Yiqi's face did not change and he said without any hesitation: "Uncle Mu, Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of staying here. Dad, it's really important, so I'll leave first. As for what you said, I will consider it."
"
When Shang Yiqi's mother came out, she saw that the situation was a bit tense. She quickly gave her son a wink and told him to leave early, while she herself went to chat with Mu Xiaoxiao.
In the end, Shang Baike just snorted and turned to his old friend: "Old Mu, this brat doesn't make people worry, let's talk about it."
Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were glued to Shang Yiqi until the three of them packed up their things and disappeared at the door. Then she looked at Shang Yiqi's mother with a sense of loss.
Shang's mother didn't understand Mu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, but her son was already married, otherwise she would definitely encourage Mu Xiaoxiao to pursue her son.
"Xiaoxiao, come here, Shang's mother wants to talk to you a little bit. Let's leave your father alone while they chat." With that, Shang's mother took Mu Xiaoxiao to the second floor.
As soon as she got home, the little girl took out a set of fishing game equipment from the three people's luggage and played with it by herself. Gu Xiyan went to pack her things, while Shang Yiqi went upstairs.
When Gu Xiyan returned to the room, Shang Yiqi was standing in front of the wardrobe. The wardrobe was open, and a green military uniform inside was neatly folded and placed in a drawer.
Gu Xiyan often opens the door of this closet, and she also knows that there is a drawer that has been locked for many years. It turns out that there is actually this military uniform in there!
"Enlightenment." Gu Xiyan suddenly didn't know what to say. She didn't know what the man in front of her had experienced in the past. She only knew that he clearly had the identity of a soldier, but he withdrew from the military camp overnight five years ago and has been a spectator ever since.
, and completely transformed his original side job of lawyer into a real job.
Shang Yiqi closed the closet door, cutting off his sight from the green dress. When he saw Gu Xiyan, he suddenly picked her up and walked toward the bed.
Sensing the desire brewing in Shang Yiqi's eyes, Gu Xiyan struggled: "Qi, didn't you say you had something important to do?
Shang Yiqi easily blocked all Gu Xiyan's struggles, bit Gu Xiyan's lips, and said unreasonably: "Well, I'm about to do it."
"Qi..." Seeing her clothes being taken off one by one, Gu Xiyan twisted even more fiercely: "It's daytime now."
"Yes, I know." Shang Yiqi replied cooperatively.
The last piece of fabric was also torn off, and she was completely naked. When she caught a glimpse of the well-dressed man, Gu Xiyan thought to herself and muttered: "He is dressed like a beast."
Shang Yiqi was happy when he heard this. Knowing that Gu Xiyan was afraid of cold, Shang Yiqi turned up the heating to the highest level and covered the two of them with a thick quilt: "Xi, you are right, I will let you know,
I am a beast."
Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly came to her mind.
