Turning back, she cast a strange glance at the man who was standing straight and silent. She suddenly didn't know what was going on with her and why she was so conflicted again.
Alas alas!
She was walking in front, and she could still feel the hot and gentle gaze behind her. It was like a troubled frown, and she was sighing silently.
When I reached the door of my house, I was about to ask him to leave. Unfortunately, the person inside opened the door at this moment.
Xia Baoer was stunned for a moment, and it was too late to tell him to get out. When she saw the two old men greeting her, she looked at them strangely.
"Girl, you are back."
She felt embarrassed and wanted to laugh, but in the end she could only say vaguely: "What's wrong? The two of you are acting as if you are welcoming your children who have been missing for many years to come home, but you can't do it!"
Father Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly leaned into his children's ears and lowered his voice: "Girl, Xiao Gu is waiting for you above."
Xiao Gu? Gu Xiangdong?
Xia Baoer suddenly froze on the spot, what was he doing here! Why did he come to their house secretly without any problem!
"Girl, don't be angry yet. He said he came to see you because he had something important to do. He didn't come here specially."
Hum, humming from the end of her nose, she felt that she was really irritable today.
"I won't go up! You go up and tell him to leave!" She said angrily without thinking.
Father Xia grimaced a little angrily, "Why are you so angry, girl? I think he really has something going on. Besides, Xiao Gu has a good reputation outside. He has a good appearance and a good person. You just
Can't..." Seeing the darkness flickering in his daughter's eyes, he didn't say any more and just patted his daughter's small shoulder.
Alas, he really liked Gu Xiangdong, and he was really good to his daughter. It was just because of that incident that he was burdened with heavy guilt, so he didn't know how to be good to her.
"I see."
"Well, you go up first and see if he really has something urgent to talk to you about." Xia's father stopped talking about his daughter's unhappy words and nodded.
Hearing what her father said, she couldn't help but wonder what happened to Gu Xiangdong suddenly coming to her house.
"Daughter." Xia's mother looked unhappy and nervous.
She raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Okay, he can come when he likes. Seeing how nervous and prepared you are, I thought it was a terrorist invasion."
"He...he also brought a lot of gifts and came to our house to show his courtesy. I don't know what he wants to do. Do you think he has ulterior motives?" Xia's mother's position was different from Xia's father's.
It's different, she doesn't like to see Gu Xiangdong very much.
Seeing her mother like this made her feel a little sad.
When my brother was still alive, my mother treated Gu Xiangdong as her own son.
Forget it, it’s not pleasant to think about it like this, it’s really uncomfortable.
"Okay, I think so too, but we'd better go in and get to know each other before we talk." Interrupting his mother's chatter, Gu Xiangdong was still sitting at home, and the whole family was standing outside the door chatting. This is so embarrassing.
, I’m sure their family has no manners at all.
And she felt that he was not looking for her to talk about some issues that shouldn't be discussed. They made it very clear last time. It must be because of something else that he came to her in person in such an embarrassing position.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly thought of that incident. Could it be about her brother...
Maybe he found something secretly and came to her so late.
"You two, stop blocking the door and let me in." She raised her eyes and glared at her uneasy parents, pouting and saying angrily.
"Girl, Mommy has to remind you that you are not allowed to... Hey, who is that?" Xia's mother, who was staring at her daughter, turned around and asked doubtfully. She casually glanced at the man standing at the top of the stairs.
, I was so focused on talking to my daughter that I didn’t even see a living person.
Xia Baoer secretly screamed in his heart that it was too bad that he had forgotten about him due to negligence. But why hasn't he left yet? It's really...
Standing there cold and motionless, Nan Muli still did not change his usual coldness, but restrained the cold and sharp edge that was so convincing.
He didn't speak, he just looked at the lovely little woman who looked like an elf under the moon, and hesitated to speak.
"Girl, who is he?" When the two elders saw a man appear, they began to look up and down, left and right.
Seeing that the man had extraordinary talents, bearing, imposing manner, tall appearance, etc., he was the best among men. He couldn't help but look at his daughter with confusion on his face.
Somewhat annoyed at Nan Muli, Xia Baoer said with a cold face, "It's not that person. I don't know him very well. Our boss was drunk and asked him to send me back."
The two elders didn't take it seriously, damn it! Can't they be a little more reserved in front of strangers?
I don't know whether I should say that Nan Muli is an iceberg or that he is used to the world. Facing the unabashed gazes of the two old men, he remained calm and calm. This made Xia Baoer even more annoyed, and there was something simmering in his heart.
Blocking.
Even though their daughter said this, the two gossiping elders still saw that the man looked at their daughter very differently. They observed it and were quite satisfied with him.
Because Xia Mu hated Gu Xiangdong, she took the initiative and asked in a very friendly tone: "In that case, why not go in and have a cup of tea before leaving? You should be Bao'er's...?"
"Friend." Xia Baoer responded quickly.
"Boyfriend." Nan Muli said calmly.
Father Xia and Mother Xia were slightly surprised, then showed a welcoming smile, "So that's it, then you should come in and sit down quickly."
"Male friends!" Seeing her parents like this, Xia Baoer almost choked with anger.
Seeing her anxious explanation, Nan Muli frowned and said nothing.
"Come in and sit down, you don't have to be so polite." Xia's mother deliberately wanted him to come in and make Gu Xiangdong angry! No matter how you look at this man, he is definitely no worse than Gu Xiangdong!
"Mom, Brother Fu, you're not even so enthusiastic when you come, why are you so naive!" Angrily stopping her mother's enthusiasm, she took the opportunity to glare at the motionless man. If he knew what he was looking at, he should have known to turn around and leave.
"What's wrong with him?" Xia's mother said perfunctorily, thinking she was embarrassed, "Well, even if you are a friend and someone is sending you home, is there anything wrong with inviting them to come in and sit down for a while?"
"No, it's so late, and he still has to pick up my boss." The thought of Gu Xiangdong still inside gave her a headache. How could she let this iceberg go in? Just thinking about that picture made Xia Baoer feel as big as one head and two heads.
"Why are you talking like a kid? This is called basic courtesy. Do you understand?"
"..." She was speechless for a moment, and she could only stare at the culprit angrily.
Aren't you usually very indifferent to others and aloof? Why don't you just turn around and leave? It's just toying with her. What's wrong with her——
He still had that calm and calm expression, and her glare didn't hurt him. However, when his mother reached out enthusiastically to pull him into the room, she saw him suddenly startled!
He didn't like being touched by outsiders, and subconsciously wanted to throw away his hand, but he suddenly thought that these were her parents, and reason controlled him.
Originally he thought he would be very disgusted, but for some reason, he only wanted to resist the moment he was touched. After that, his heartstrings seemed to be touched by an indescribable feeling.
"You're welcome, we're just a small family." Seeing her mother happily leading the man in, Xia Baoer walked slowly behind her, feeling as if she was being stirred and twisted by something, tangled and depressed.
When she thought of the embarrassing scene later, she had an ostrich mentality that wanted to escape, but she didn't know that telling the truth in person would make her parents uneasy.
Oh, what a troublesome thing. She groaned feebly and followed helplessly inside.
As he walked into the room uneasily, he was worried about how to deal with this embarrassing situation.
But when he entered the living room, to his surprise, Xia Baoer did not see Gu Xiangdong.
After being stunned for a moment, she looked at her parents in confusion, "Where is he? Didn't he say he was sitting in the hall?"
Xia's mother, who was prejudiced against Gu Xiangdong, didn't bother to answer and didn't care where he was. She just greeted the man who might become her son-in-law in the future.
"Maybe he's still in the bathroom or on the balcony." Xia's father thought for a while, glanced at the tall and handsome man sitting on the sofa, but with a cold aura, and whispered to his daughter.
The man's intuition told him that Gu Xiangdong knew how to love his daughter better than this man.
Just when he was confused, he saw Gu Xiangdong coming out, feeling something was wrong.
Xia Baoer, who was puzzled by his behavior, asked him with some surprise: "Aren't you on the balcony? How..."
Gu Xiangdong pulled off the mask he was wearing and smiled brightly.
Even though his hair was messy and he was holding a toilet brush in his hand, and he looked very embarrassed, he still retained his sunny and refreshing charm. The smile on the corner of his mouth was more mature and steady than the sunshine warmth before, "I'm back,
Why so late?"
"Uh, something's wrong." She replied, looking at him in confusion, then turning to her parents, with a confused look on her face.
"The light bulbs in the kitchen have been replaced and the clogged toilet has been unclogged. Is there anything else my uncle and aunt need help with?" Gu Xiangdong asked naturally with a warm smile.
"Oh, I'd like to change the shower head in the bathroom too, and you can change the lights in the corridor upstairs to brighter ones. Recently, I always feel that the corridor in the girl's room is too dark." The repairman who comes to your door for free, no need
No need to do it, Xia's mother ordered half-piquedly.
Gu Xiangdong nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll get the tools. Baby, please help me hold the ladder."
Seeing his wife asking others to do this and that as soon as he entered the house, Xia's father felt a little sorry, and nodded to him slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Gu. If you don't have an energetic person in the family, you will have constant little troubles. I can't support my waist."
Well, now that I’m old, I still want to trouble you to take me here and there every day.”
"What!" Xia Baoer and his mother exclaimed in unison.
Gu Xiangdong smiled sheepishly, "It's no trouble, it's easy. You can call me anytime if you need it."
Staring at her parents, Xia Baoer felt mixed emotions.
