Chapter 237: I'm no longer my former self

Gu Xicen looked at her and said, "Mi En is here, so you don't need me."

Misha curled her lips, glanced at Mian next to her, and muttered, "Yes, this birthday is really unforgettable!"

Mi En just smiled and said nothing.

Ito said while eating, "Being called uncle by such a young girl always feels like taking advantage of others."

Mi En looked sideways at him, "If you let people call you brother, then you are really taking advantage of them."

Ito laughed and scolded, "Go aside, don't talk about me being so dirty, or you might scare little Xinxin."

Lin Yuer took a few bites of the side dishes, and they tasted really good. She smiled and asked, "Wen Xin, how come you know how to cook at such a young age? And you can make it so delicious, who did you learn from it?"

Wen Wen lowered her eyes, her expression suddenly became a little sad, and whispered, "My mother taught me this."

Lin Yue'er's heart trembled. Seeing the lonely look on her face, it easily touched her heart and touched those past events that she had buried deeply for a long time... She didn't want to remind her of her sadness, let alone

It was her own, so she greeted her with a smile and let her eat without asking any more questions.

Misha didn't care about that and wanted to say something else. Mian grabbed her hand under the table. She frowned and looked back at him. He seemed to have nothing happened and continued to drink porridge gracefully, but with his left hand

But he held her firmly and motioned her not to talk too much.

Misha glanced at him, made a face, and said nothing.

Breakfast was very enjoyable. After all, Ito and Gu Xicen had not been back for some time. When everyone reunited, the atmosphere was always lively. Wen Xin was sitting next to Gu Xicen, staring with a pair of big black eyes full of dependence.

he.

After breakfast, Wen Wen quickly cleared away the tableware, even if Lin Yuer wanted to help.

"Auntie, go sit in the living room." She whispered.

Aunt?

Lin Yuer was really not used to being called "aunt" by a girl who was about to reach adulthood.

Next to her, Misha was eating a lollipop and said nonchalantly, "I've just come here, and I really feel like a hostess." She said it in a warm tone, safely treating her as an adult.

Lin Yue'er was startled for a moment, then laughed, "Misha, what are you talking about?"

Misha doesn't care about the age or status of people she doesn't like. Even if it's an underage child who doesn't please her, he will still be blacklisted. But Lin Yuer is different. After experiencing so many things,

She is becoming more and more peaceful, and will no longer hate someone easily, let alone dislike her. Therefore, she has a completely tolerant attitude towards Wen Wenxin, and does not have the hostility like Misha.

Misha curled her lips and said, "If you don't believe me, just watch it slowly and see if it will become a tiger problem."

Lin Yuer closed her eyes slightly and looked at Wenxin again. She was really a well-behaved and diligent child. It was not difficult to see that everything she did was to please Gu Xicen and repay him.

Life-saving grace.

Mi En and Gu Xicen were sitting in the living room, and Ito went back to the house to sleep. Seeing Gu Xicen staring at the kitchen for a moment, Mi En babbled at the busy little figure there, "What?

Intend?"

Gu Xicen didn't seem to hear what he said and didn't react at all.

Mi En turned to look at him and found that his gaze was staring at another person.

He took advantage of the situation and looked over, then understood and smiled, "What's the use of watching from such a distance? If you miss others, you have to let them know."

Gu Xicen withdrew his gaze little by little and lowered his eyes casually, "I'll stay here for a while this time."

"Oh? You're not leaving?" Mi En smiled after hearing this, "That's right, Dick's matter cannot be solved overnight. With so many policemen watching him, it will be difficult for him to cause trouble again.

, accompanying him all over the world is not a crime." He raised his eyes again and asked, "What about Wen Xin? What are you going to do, just let her be here?"

Gu Xicen replied calmly, "I will help her find an adoptive home."

"Does she have no other relatives?"

Gu Xicen shook his head, "When I found her, she had been hungry for several days, and a few people happened to be targeting her." After a pause, he said, "Those are all people who sell organs and tissues."

Only then did Mi En realize that Xi Cen was not a nosy person, let alone bringing back such a helpless living person!

turn out to be……

Lin Yuer is not the only person who has painful memories of that incident.

Mi En nodded and said, "Then let's live here first. There is a place anyway. We can contact you later about the adoption."

"Let's go, it's time to go to the company." Misha greeted at the door, and Lin Yuer and Mi En both came over.

Mi En waved his hand to Gu Xicen and said, "We'll talk when we come back tonight."

Gu Xicen responded, glancing at Lin Yuer next to her with a vague gaze. The latter smiled at him naturally, a generous smile as bright as the sun, "I'm leaving first."

Gu Xicen said nothing, his eyes still followed her, and the corner of his mouth raised a warm arc, which complemented her beauty and beauty.

I heard from Aunt Hua that in the past month, she would visit her brother almost every day. Even if she did nothing sometimes, she would talk to his unconscious brother on the bed. The calm and harmonious scene made Aunt Hua

You might mistakenly think that she has changed her mind again.

But he knows her heart better than anyone else.

In fact, they don’t need to say a lot of things. Naturally, they will understand with just a look and a smile.

After cleaning up, Wenxin walked out and sat next to him obediently, "Uncle Cen, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Gu Xicen looked back, smiled softly, shook her head, "No need."

Wen Xin quickly said, "Uncle Cen, you don't have to be polite to me. If you need me to do anything, just tell me!"

"It's really not necessary." Gu Xicen picked up her coat and car keys, looked at them warmly, and asked cautiously, "Uncle Cen, do you want to go out?"

"Yeah." Gu Xicen just nodded without explaining where he was going. Wen Xin lowered his head with a look of reluctance and whispered, "Uncle Cen, when will you be back?"

"Later." Gu Xicen walked to the door, looked back at her, and said softly, "If anything happens, just ask Ito."

"Oh." Wenxin walked him to the door and stood there, watching Gu Xicen enter the elevator.

...For the latest and fastest chapters, please read ""...

Arriving at the hospital, Gu Xicen walked into her elder brother's ward and saw him still sleeping peacefully.

His heart ached, and he slowly walked to his bed, squatted down, and whispered, "Brother, I'm back."

Although he had been asleep for a month, Gu Wangchuan's face looked good, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, there was no stubble on his chin, and he was cleanly shaven.

"Brother, I have found many foreign experts. You will wake up soon. You will definitely." Gu Xicen said firmly. What he wants now is to cure his elder brother.

After spending a whole morning with him quietly, Gu Xicen left the hospital.

He went to GL again, and his grandfather urged him several times, asking him to return to China quickly to help take care of the company. Gu Changtian is a very realistic person. Although he has high expectations for Gu Wangchuan, he may remain asleep.

, but it is a fact that he must train another successor for the company and the Gu family.

During this period, he hired a private detective to investigate Gu Xicen, but he discovered many previously unknown truths. Although, he has not yet found out what he was doing in France specifically. However, most of his funds had someone dedicated to help with the investigation.

The manager, the considerable annual income, and the real estate properties under his name all proved his strong financial strength. This made Gu Changtian look at him differently and began to re-evaluate this grandson whom he had not paid much attention to since he was a child.

When he arrived at the company, Gu Changtian's attitude improved a lot, and he was asked to temporarily act as the general manager of Gu Wangchuan.

Before his grandfather could offer him a tempting olive branch, Gu Xicen had already made it clear that he would take care of the company in his eldest brother's stead until he woke up. He had no interest in anything belonging to the Gu family and was doing all this for his eldest brother.

Gu Changtian just said meaningfully, "Grandpa is not an old fool. As long as you focus on the company, everything else is easy to discuss."

After understanding what grandpa meant, Gu Xicen didn't say another word.

For Grandpa, anyone and anything can be used as a bargaining chip.

After handing over the work to him, Gu Changtian felt relieved and booked an afternoon flight back to Hong Kong.

Secretary Amy was working on project reports with Gu Xicen all afternoon. She was busy until very late, and he left only after he had a good understanding of the company's current situation.

When I returned to Qinghe Bay, as soon as I opened the door, I smelled the fragrant fragrance.

"Uncle Cen, you're back!" Wenxin heard the voice and ran out of the kitchen, her little face turned red with excitement, which was really beautiful.

"Yeah." Gu Xicen nodded, "Are you making dinner?"

"Yes!" Warmly and happily warned, "Uncle Cen, sit down and rest for a while. You will be able to eat soon!"

Ito walked out of the room, grabbed the potato chips, and said while eating, "Cen, you really found a treasure! Ever since you left, this girl Wenxin has been busy." He joked, "

Have you seen this room? It’s so clean that I don’t have anywhere to stay for fear of getting dirty.”

Gu Xicen looked around and saw that the room had a completely new look. Next to him, Ito narrowed her peach blossom eyes and winked at him, "Such a diligent little girl, I think you should just accept it."

Gu Xicen raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "If you have the guts, say it again."

The sound is not loud and the pitch is not high, but it is full of intimidation.

Ito was not afraid, but sighed and said seriously, "I knew you must have misunderstood the pure me. What I meant was that you could just accept him as your goddaughter! Uncle and godfather are the same thing.

!”

At this time, the door outside opened, and two brothers, Mi En and Misha, came over, but Lin Yuer was not seen.

Gu Xicen glanced outside and frowned quietly, "Where is Xiaoyue?"

"She's still working in the room. The perfume will be officially put on the shelves in a few days. She has a lot of things to do." Mi En said and walked in. She couldn't help but praise, "It smells so good~"

Misha sat down awkwardly and glanced towards the kitchen, "If you are responsible for three meals a day, Xicen, shouldn't you pay some salary to others? After all, you are an outsider, no better than one of us, you can't

It makes people busy in vain."

There was something in her words, and Mi En could clearly hear it, so he could only smile helplessly and did not accuse her. Although Misha said harshly, the fact was true. He would not hurt the harmony of his family for the sake of an outsider.

Ito burst into laughter, "Just now I suggested that Cen take this girl in. Wouldn't it be more economical?"

Misha glared at him. Defending Gu Xicen seemed to have become a habit. She grabbed the sofa cushion next to her and threw it over, "What should I collect? Xicen's here is not a recycling bin!"

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. I'll go in and help the head office!" Ito walked in with a smile.

Mi En then followed him into the kitchen. We couldn't let the little girl work alone. But Wen Wen pushed the two of them out stubbornly, saying that he didn't need their help.

"This girl is really good." Ito praised sincerely, "Such a diligent girl is really rare nowadays. Whoever marries her in the future will be lucky."

Mi En turned her head and said with a half-smile, "I'm warning you, she's still underage, so don't try to figure her out."

"What are you talking about?" Ito immediately clarified, "No matter how shameless I am, I will never date an underage!"

Mi En shrugged, "Then who pays taxes?"

"Damn, I know you are jealous of my relationship with the opposite sex, so feel free to slander me! I can bear it!"

Gu Xicen seemed a little irritable in the living room. From time to time, he would raise his head and glance in the direction of the door. Opposite him, Misha suddenly smiled, sat over, very close to him, and took the initiative to hold one of his arms, acting coquettishly.

As if saying, "Xicen, why aren't you happy when someone is here to accompany you?"

Gu Xicen's brows twitched slightly, and he wanted to pull out his arm, but she held him tightly and stopped insisting. He stared at her with clear eyes, "Do you need me to hand you over to Mi En?"

Misha pouted in dissatisfaction, "Oh, I haven't been intimate with you for a long time~"

Hearing what she said, Gu Xicen's brows twitched again, and she confessed without thinking, "You are not allowed to say this in front of her."

Misha deliberately pretended to be stupid, tilted her head, and opened her big innocent eyes, "Who are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" As she spoke, she stretched out her slender finger and poked his chest, "What are you talking about?

Isn’t it just someone else’s? Could it be that you are hiding someone else?”

Gu Xicen half-closed her eyes, took her hand and put it back. Misha was not so easy to dismiss at all, so she came over again, "Oh, don't be so ruthless to others~ They will be sad."

~”

Gu Xicen took a deep breath and tried her best to hold back something.

Seeing this scene, Ito laughed and said, "Misha, you are already a grown-up. Believe me, for you, being cute is a flaw, but you can do it warmly."

Misha raised her head, glanced at him sharply, curled her lips, and smiled sadly, "Sold it to you? It's enough that our Xicen likes it!" With that, she was about to snuggle into Gu Xicen's arms.

, he grabbed the collar with one hand and lifted it up. He glanced at Mi En and said, "Leave it to you."

Mi En smiled gracefully, and after taking it, he held it next to her, "Okay Misha, Xi Cen's thoughts are on others right now, let's not mess with him."

Misha asked knowingly, "Who is it on? Why didn't I know?"

"Uncle Cen..." A timid voice sounded from behind a few people, "It's time to have dinner..."

Mi En smiled at her and said, "Haha, warm, thank you for your hard work."

Wen Xin quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I'm really happy to be able to do this."

Misha stood up and said, "I'll call Xiaoyue..."

Without saying a word, Mi En held her down again and smiled, "Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

Looking at her brother's meaningful gaze, Misha blinked her eyes and rubbed her belly cooperatively, "Yeah, I'm very tired, so tired that I can't even walk."

"Haha, then I'll go in with you and eat first." Mien turned back to look at Ito, "How about you come over?"

Ito smiled cunningly, "I'm also very hungry and can't walk." After saying that, he turned to Gu Xicen and said, "Hey, Cen, could you please go over there for a run."

Gu Xicen glanced at a few people, said nothing, stood up and was about to walk out.

"Uncle Cen! I'll go!" Wenxin ran over, smiled at him, and pulled him towards the restaurant, "Uncle Cen, you eat first, I'll call auntie." Then he turned and ran out of the door.

After Gu Xicen sat down, several people nearby saw this dramatic scene. Ito and Mi En just shook their heads and chuckled. Misha snorted on the side, "You are really discerning."

After a while, Lin Yuer came over with Wenxin. Ito was very sensible, got up and sat next to him, and gave up the seat next to Gu Xicen. But who knew that as soon as he got out of the way, Wenxin sat down and faced Gu Xi

Cen said with a smile, "Uncle Cen, you should eat more!"

Ito opened his mouth, looked at Wen Xin, and then turned to look at Lin Yuer. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it.

Lin Yuer saw it, but didn't think much about it and sat directly opposite. Seeing the dishes on the table, he was shocked again. It was hard to believe that these were all made by a seventeen-year-old child.

She praised her sincerely, but Wenxin just lowered her head, smiled shyly, and then approached Gu Xicen, treating him as a protective umbrella.

Lin Yue'er raised his eyebrows. In addition to trust, the expression on this child's face also concealed a touch of shyness belonging to a girl... She had also been through the jade years, so she naturally understood what it meant. For such a person

For a girl who is not familiar with the world, Gu Xicen indeed has enough charm to make her fascinated.

Regarding this unexpected discovery, Lin Yue'er just lowered her eyes and gently raised the corners of her lips, pretending that nothing happened.

Since she came in, Gu Xicen has been paying attention to the changes in her face. Seeing that she suddenly became silent, she frowned.

"Uncle Cen, have some soup." Wenxin filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.

Gu Xicen thanked her softly, but kept her eyes fixed on Lin Yuer. Her increasingly calm face was like wearing a mask, preventing anyone from prying.

Wen Xin's cooking skills made several people full of praise, and even Misha had to admit that this girl is extremely talented in this area.

After dinner, Mi En stood up and said, "Ito, didn't you say you have a job?"

Ito glanced at him doubtfully, then understood and nodded immediately, "Yes, I'm not sure whether to answer the email just sent over there. It's just right. Please help me refer to it. Come on, come to my room.

"

Misha looked at it, glanced at the warmth over there, and walked over with a smile, "Little girl, your cooking skills are good, do you mind talking to me?"

Wen Xin couldn't explain why. She was a little scared of the beautiful aunt in front of her and subconsciously hid behind her, "I..."

"Don't worry! I don't eat people!" Misha pulled her over and dragged her out regardless of whether she wanted to or not. "Even if I eat, it depends on whether that person is to my liking."

Wen Xin, who was originally trembling, seemed to be really frightened now. He turned around and looked at Gu Xicen as if asking for help, "Uncle Cen..." But Gu Xicen didn't look this way at all, but looked at her gently.

Watching Lin Yuer eat, "Drink the soup."

Lin Yue'er wanted to shake her head, but his eyes were fixed, and she had no choice. She picked up the bowl and drank half of it in one breath.

Wen Xin blinked her dark eyes, her expression stagnant, and she didn't even realize she was being dragged out by Misha...

When everyone was gone, Lin Yuer stood up and wanted to clear away the tableware on the table. Just as he was about to reach out, Gu Xicen stopped him and said, "I'll clean it up."

"No, I'll just take care of it."

Gu Xicen raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were as affectionate and beautiful as in his memory, "I don't want to let go."

A simple sentence, direct and clear, without too many words, can make them understand a lot about each other.

He has not changed towards her, not even a little bit; while she towards him has remained indifferent, the deeper the accumulation. However, the more they understand each other, the more they know how to control. Because, they are waiting, it is possible

Is it one year, two years, or even ten years...

If you say this kind of thing, you may be criticized by others, but this is the way they choose.

It's not someone else, just because it's them.

Lin Yue'er smiled shyly, stepped aside according to words, and watched him clean up the kitchen in an orderly manner, while she stood at the door.

Staring at his warm profile, she asked softly, "Why didn't you call me after being away for so long?"

After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid that if I get beaten, I won't be able to help but want to come back."

Lin Yuer's heart palpitated, and her eyes became softer. Without thinking, she walked over, hugged his waist from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back. Gu Xicen's body trembled slightly, and he turned his head sideways. He was young and handsome.

There is a hint of pampering and indulgence on her face, as if she is declaring to the world that this is his woman, and he has the right and qualification to pamper and love her.

"Xicen, I miss you so much."

This is what she has been doing every day for a month when she opens her eyes.

Thinking about where he is, what he is doing, whether he will be in danger, and when... he will come back.

Gu Xicen narrowed her eyes, turned around slightly, stared down at her, and hugged her into his arms, "Me too."

Lin Yuer curled her lips and smiled, listening to the heartbeat coming from his chest, and snuggled up to him peacefully.

She knew that he was still the same Xi Cen as before.

But she is no longer the same person she used to be.
