There was a timid voice at the door, with a hint of surprise.
Lin Yue'er quickly let go of her hand, turned around, saw Wen Wenxin, and smiled at her. She was not embarrassed at all, and looked very calm. Gu Xicen was even more calm and composed. On the contrary, Wen Wensi stood there at a loss, with her eyes lowered.
Her eyes look like a little girl who has done something wrong.
"I'm sorry...I..."
Not wanting her to be so embarrassed, Lin Yuer smiled and said, "Wen Xin, do you want to sleep over at my place tonight?"
After all, Wenxin is a girl. Ito and Mi En both live here. Lin Yueer was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her, so she kindly suggested it. Unexpectedly, Wenxin shook her head and refused without thinking, and whispered, "I don't want to go anywhere."
Go, I’m fine living here.”
Lin Yuer looked at her and said gently, "If you need anything, just come to me and Misha." After saying that, she turned back and looked at Gu Xicen deeply, and said softly, "I still have some.
I’m going back to work first.”
Gu Xicen nodded, "Don't be too late, go to bed early."
With the simple instructions and the familiar tone, it was not difficult to guess the close relationship between the two. The warm eyes lowered lower and lower, staring at the toes of the shoes, while his hands unconsciously stirred the corners of his clothes.
Lin Yuer walked to the door and just opened the door and went out when she heard Wen Xin say, "Uncle Cen, go and have a rest. I will clean up here."
"No, I'll do it."
"No, no, how can you let Uncle Cen do such a thing? It's better if I do it!" Wen Xin pushed him out without any explanation.
Lin Yuer gave a careless smile, closed the door, and returned to her room.
"That girl treats Xi Cen in every detail. Don't say you haven't noticed, then I will really kneel down." Misha leaned against the door of her room, staring at her with half-squinted eyes.
Lin Yue'er stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and after a long while he said clearly, "Even if this is the case, if you can't even overcome this obstacle, then what future is there?"
Hearing her answer, Misha raised her eyebrows with a trace of surprise in her eyes. Then she slowly raised her lips and smiled. After a long time, she said, "Hey, I like the way you don't take her seriously."
To her liking.
Turn around and walk out leisurely.
Lin Yue'er blinked his eyes first, and then laughed softly.
Don't take that child seriously...
Is there any?
It's just that there is no need to regard her as a threat.
…
Since Gu Xicen agreed to take over the company from his grandfather, he has been busy for a week, sleeping only three or four hours a day, until he became familiar with all the ongoing projects of the company. During this period, Wenxin took good care of him, no matter how many
At night, I would prepare supper for him without saying much, and would stay with him obediently until he finished his work.
Not long ago, Lin Yuer's company officially launched the "Yun" series of perfumes. Since the early "Fragrance" laid a good foundation, "Yun" as a new product was very popular once it was launched, with sales all the way.
leading.
Mi En and Lin Yue'er discussed holding a celebration reception in a six-star hotel in the city to build momentum.
gl, general manager's office.
When Amy sent over the invitation from Xiangyue Company, Gu Xicen was reading the performance reports of the heads of various departments.
"General Manager, this is Xiangyue's invitation. Do you want to go?"
Gu Xicen didn't know that they were going to hold a cocktail party, so she took it over, looked at it, smiled, nodded, "Let's make arrangements."
"OK."
That night, when Gu Xicen went back, he saw Wen Xin mopping the floor with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He had cleaned the house spotlessly.
"Uncle Cen, you're back!" She came over happily, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and took his coat, "Uncle Cen, you came back so early today!"
Gu Xicen responded, "I have something to do tonight."
"oh."
He looked around, "Where's Ito?"
"Uncle Ito answered the phone and went out." Wenxin hesitated, not sure whether to gossip, but still whispered, "It seems like a sister called."
Gu Xicen raised an eyebrow, knowing this very well.
"Uncle Cen, I didn't know you came back so early and hadn't prepared dinner yet..."
Facing her apologetic look, Gu Xicen said comfortingly, "It's okay."
"Then I'll do it right away!" Wenxin hurriedly entered the kitchen. Gu Xicen was about to walk in, but after thinking for a moment, he stopped and said, "Don't do it, let's go out to eat."
Wen Xin was stunned, thinking that she had heard wrong, and looked at him blankly, "Go out..." After reacting, she walked over excitedly, her big eyes full of dazzling luster, "Really? I...I
Can I really come with you?"
Gu Xicen lowered his gaze and nodded slightly.
Wen Wenxin was so happy that her whole little face lit up, "Then... then I'll go change clothes."
Soon, Wen Xin changed her clothes and stood in front of Gu Xicen. Seeing that he had also changed into a suit and was so handsome that people dared not look directly at him, she immediately lowered her head shyly, "Uncle Cen, now...just...
Going out?"
Gu Xicen responded, called Ito, and then took her away.
Sitting in the car, Gu Xicen held the car with one hand and took out her mobile phone to call Amy, "Where is the gift I picked?"
Amy replied respectfully, "General manager, you are already on your way."
"Um."
After confirming, the corner of his mouth slightly raised a nice arc, and his eyes narrowed slightly, a bit deep and a bit blurred.
Wen Xin sat quietly in the passenger seat. Occasionally she would turn her head quietly, stare at him, and then immediately look away, cautiously, like a young girl in love.
"Uncle Cen...where are we going to eat?"
Gu Xicen turned around and smiled at her, "We'll know when we get there."
That smile was so perfect that it made people dizzy. Her cheeks turned red and her heartbeat quickened. She didn't dare to look at him anymore. She quickly lowered her head and responded casually, "Yeah!"
Soon, Gu Xicen's car stopped in front of XX Hotel.
Get out of the car, throw the car keys to the parking attendant, and he goes straight to the lobby with warmth.
Wen Wen seemed to be visiting such a magnificent place for the first time. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her mouth slightly. She saw the beauties walking beside her, all tall and well-dressed. She quietly lowered her eyes and stood close to Gu Xicen.
, a pair of small hands tightened the tight-fitting cotton coat, feeling that I really didn't fit in here.
Gu Xicen brought Wenxin to the hall where the reception was held. Seeing the people in the hall, Wenxin was stunned, her face turned slightly pale, and she even shrank behind Gu Xicen.
Mr. Zhang had sharp eyes and saw him at a glance. He greeted him with a big smile, "Ah, it's Second Young Master Gu!"
Gu Xicen raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded at him, "Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang came over, exchanged a few words with him, and then sighed and said, "Hey, I heard about your eldest brother. I have always wanted to visit Mr. Gu, but the company is too busy and I really can't spare the time.
Ah, it’s really embarrassing to say it.”
Gu Xicen remained calm and said, "I will accept Mr. Zhang's wishes on behalf of my brother."
Mr. Zhang immediately patted his chest and said, "If there is anything you need help with, Second Young Master, just ask!"
"Thank you."
Only then did Mr. Zhang see Wen Xin behind him, and asked curiously, "Uh, Second Young Master, who is this?"
Seeing the stranger opposite looking at him, Wen Wenxin blushed and looked even more at a loss. He lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Gu Xicen turned sideways and replied calmly, "A child from a relative." After that,
He pointed to the self-service area not far away and said warmly, "There is food over there. You can take whatever you want."
Wen Xin turned around and looked over there. There were many people there and she didn't recognize anyone. She bit her lip and immediately shook her head. She grabbed the corner of his clothes with her little hands and wanted to stay by his side.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Haha, this young lady is still very shy."
He didn't say much. When he saw someone he knew, he went to say hello.
Wen Xin looked left and right, and said with a trembling voice, "Uncle Cen, there are so many people here..."
When she didn't get a response from Gu Xicen, she raised her head in confusion, only to see his eyes staring at the opposite side. His eyes couldn't be softer. Following his gaze, Wen Xin saw Lin Wenxin, who was wearing a small Chanel dress.
Yue Er. After being carefully dressed up, she is fresh and beautiful. She is completely different from Misha's hotness. Especially the charming style on her body that is different from that of a mature woman is even more heart-stirring.
Not only Gu Xicen, but also many men present had their eyes fixed on her, looking for opportunities to strike up a conversation.
Wen Xin was stunned. She didn't expect to meet her here!
Feeling the persistent gaze here, Lin Yuer slowly turned her head. When she saw Gu Xicen, the smile on her lips bloomed unconsciously. She said hello to the person opposite, and she walked over lightly, "Mr. Gu
, What a welcome." His mouth was polite, but his eyes were full of teasing.
Gu Xicen lowered his eyes and smiled, followed her words and replied calmly, "Mr. Lin, congratulations, Yun is very successful."
Lin Yue'er burst into laughter and stretched out her hand, "Where's the gift?"
Gu Xicen stroked his eyebrows, the smile on his lips spreading, "Uh, sorry, I forgot."
Knowing that he was busy with gl affairs recently, he left early and came back late every day, so it was completely expected. Lin Yuer raised his head and chin slightly, and said coquettishly, "Next time I want double the amount!"
Gu Xicen narrowed her eyes indulgently, with a smile in her eyes, "No problem."
Lin Yuer's eyes moved away from his face and waved to Wenxin behind him, "Wenxin, welcome~"
Wen Xin bit her lip, lowered her head, her face looked a little ugly, as if she had been wronged. Especially standing in front of Lin Yuer in a formal dress, she felt like an ugly duckling!
Gradually, the circles under her eyes turned red.
Noticing her strangeness, Lin Yue'er still smiled, looked up at Gu Xicen, and said accusingly, "Why don't you prepare a dress for Wen Xin?"
Gu Xicen didn't think about it at all and replied naturally, "She is still a child and does not need those complicated social etiquette."
Wen Wen stagnated for a moment, and his face became even uglier.
Still a child?
At this time, Lin Yue'er walked over and gently pulled her, "Wenxin, come with me, I've prepared a spare dress."
Wen Xin said nothing, lowered her head, held back the tears in her eyes, and silently followed Lin Yuer away.
She thought this would be her first official date with Uncle Cen...
Wen Xin raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuer in front of her with complicated eyes.
In the end, I just came to attend her cocktail party...
The two left, and Mi En came over leisurely with a wine glass, "Hey, why did you bring Wenxin here?"
"Bring her here to eat." Gu Xicen replied very pragmatically.
Mi En looked at him with disdain, "Are you taking advantage of our company?"
Gu Xicen raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I tell you that all the expenses for this cocktail party are mine?"
Mi En was startled, then summoned the waiter, "Give me the two bottles of 1982 Lafite that are collected in your hotel."
The waiter was stunned and quickly said he was going to ask the manager for instructions.
Nowadays, 1982 Lafite is very rare and precious, and most of them are fake and circulated on the market. The two bottles of XX Hotel were bought by the hotel owner at a huge price at a European auction, and are kept as treasures of the store.
Gu Xicen listened and glanced sideways at him, "I remember that you don't like red wine."
"Haha, how can it be the same? Someone is paying the bill, so of course I have to save face for our company." Mi En said it matter-of-factly, and didn't think it was a problem to spend hundreds of thousands more on him.
Gu Xicen didn't care, he could just open a few bottles, as long as he had them.
Soon, the hotel manager came over, discussed with Mi En for a long time, and said that it was the hotel's treasure and not for takeout.
Gu Xicen didn't say anything, she just picked up the phone and without waiting for the other party to speak, she got straight to the point, "I'm Gu Xicen, and I want the 1982 Lafite in your hotel."
When Mi En heard this, he stood aside without saying a word, just smiling.
After a while, Gu Xicen handed the phone to the hotel manager. The manager took it suspiciously. When he heard the voice of the boss, he immediately serious, "Okay... I understand..."
After the boss gave the instructions, the manager handed the phone back to Gu Xicen with a shocked expression, his eyes full of disbelief, "Mr. Mi, our boss said that I would give a bottle to your company as a gift."
Mien smiled and accepted it calmly, "Thank you."
After the manager left, Mi En said funnyly, "I didn't expect Second Young Master Gu to be so happy here. He can take more care of our small company in the future."
Gu Xicen ignored his words. When she raised her eyes, she saw Lin Yuer walking in with warmth after re-dressing. Her long hair was simply rolled up, and she was dressed in purple, which fit her fair skin.
It also reveals a bit of girlish charm and tenderness.
Wen Wen's cheeks were slightly red, and she walked over carefully. When her eyes touched Gu Xicen, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and the blush on her face deepened. But Gu Xicen only glanced at it, and then looked away, gently
Staring at Lin Yuer behind her.
When Mi En saw Wen Xin, she whistled and came to Gu Xicen's ear like a joke, "Hey, you can prepare a dowry for her."
Gu Xicen glanced at him and said, "If you are willing, I will be ready."
Mi En immediately waved his hand, as if he couldn't bear it, "Don't make such a joke, I have a fiancée."
"Really?" Gu Xicen smiled lightly, with a deep meaning in her smile.
When Mi En saw it, he wisely shut his mouth and stopped teasing.
Lin Yuer came over with Wen Xin, "How is it? Pretty, isn't it?"
Mi En nodded and gave a friendly reminder, "Be careful Ito, this guy has no moral integrity and he may attack little girls."
Lin Yue'er was made to laugh by him, but Wen Wenxin was a little nervous. She quietly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Xicen, pursed her lips, and asked shyly, "Uncle Cen...I dress like this...Okay, does it look good?"
"
Gu Xicen glanced at it and just said "hmm".
At this time, Mr. Zhang and others came over to propose a toast. Misha was not there, so Lin Yueer had no choice but to accept it. After drinking the third cup, the cup in his hand was taken away and replaced with a glass of juice, and Gu Xi
Cen held the wine glass and raised it to several people, "I'll take it for her." After saying that, he drank it up.
Lin Yuer held the juice in her hand and looked at him, with a hint of tenderness passing through her eyes unconsciously.
Wen Wen saw it in his eyes, biting his lip quietly, twisting the corners of his skirt with his small hands, his eyes full of grievance.
Mr. Zhang burst out laughing, "Second Young Master Gu is such a gentleman. This makes us all embarrassed to respect Miss Lin anymore, as if we are bullying her."
"How could it be? Mr. Zhang really loves to joke, and the second young master is afraid that I will be drunk and unable to negotiate business." Lin Yuer laughed, not wanting her relationship with Gu Xicen to become the talk of these people after dinner.
.
After all, these people were all very aware of the fact that she had a secret marriage with Gu Wangchuan after it was spread by Gu Changtian. The reason why she didn't mention it was because it was polite and she only took into account the face of her and the Gu family. Therefore, she even more
To protect Xi Cen, don't push him to the forefront.
Mr. Zhang's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Haha, it seems that GL and Xiangyue really have a close relationship. If you join forces, you will force small businesses like us into desperation."
Suddenly, there was a response from all around.
Lin Yuer chuckled lightly, "Xiangyue Company has just been established. How can we match the strength of cooperating with GL? I hope you seniors can give you some advice in the future."
After everyone chatted casually for a few more words, they all dispersed and went around looking for partners to discuss business.
"Uncle Cen..."
Gu Xicen turned her head, looked at Wen Xin who had been staying next to her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Xin pursed her lips and said sheepishly, "I'm a little hungry, can you take me to eat something?" She asked very carefully, with a trace of uncertainty and a trace of prayer, facing her purity again.
Her shy face made it difficult for anyone to refuse.
Gu Xicen lightly closed her eyes and nodded slowly, "Yeah."
"Great, let's go there now. I'm really hungry." Wen Wen seemed very happy, and the haze in his heart was swept away. He couldn't help but hold his arm and walked towards the self-service area.
Gu Xicen turned around and looked at Lin Yuer, "I'll be right back."
Lin Yuer just smiled, "Yeah."
Mi En was on the side, stroking her smooth chin thoughtfully, and what Misha had said flashed through her mind from time to time. Before, she thought it was because she was too harsh on Wen Xin, but now it seems that nothing is impossible.
happened.
Wen Wen saw the exquisite food on the table and opened her mouth slightly, "It's so beautiful~"
"Pick some of what you like to eat." Gu Xicen said, and picked a few things at random, walked back and handed them to Lin Yuer, "Did you miss dinner?"
Lin Yue'er first scanned the surroundings to make sure no one was paying attention, then took it, "I've been busy all day and don't have time to eat."
Seeing her worry in his eyes, Gu Xicen frowned slightly, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart.
What she has endured is no less than what he has endured. However, now she is considerate and patient. The more she is like this, the more it makes him feel distressed.
Although Mi En wanted to disappear voluntarily, with him here, he could at least have a cover up so that they would not attract too much attention. Not far away, Wen Wen was holding a dinner plate. When he saw there, his little face was disappointed again.
Covered, and even lost interest in the food on the plate.
"Little one, it's hard to understand the adult world, let alone get involved in it." The sudden voice behind her startled Wen Xin. She immediately turned around, and Misha was staring at her as if she were watching a good show, and her disappointed expression was revealed.
Take a thorough look together.
Wen Xin was a little embarrassed. She immediately turned away and whispered, "Aunt Misha, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"Stop it," Misha said rudely, "First of all, I'm not your aunt; secondly, I can't have a niece as big as you. It's better to just call me Miss Mi like everyone else."
In Misha's world, there are no moral standards. There are only two types of people, one is not annoying, and the other is annoying. Obviously, Wenxin is automatically classified into the second category.
.She doesn’t have so much time to waste on her, so the warning is straight to the point.
Wen Xin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she stared at her toes helplessly, "Mi...Miss Mi..."
"Hey, don't look like I'm bullying you. I neither hit you nor scolded you. Who are you showing off to?" Misha never showed mercy to people she didn't like. As she said that,
He took a step forward and hugged her thin shoulders as if affectionately. Wenwen was shocked and froze there, not daring to move.
Misha took her and turned around, facing Lin Yuer and the others, with a warm spring breeze smile on her face, but the words she spoke were word for word, very powerful.
"Little sister, everyone can dream of a prince, but it's just a dream. Especially a prince who has a master cannot be touched." He turned his head and stared at her pale face with a smile, "You know?
I've long since fallen in love with that man, do you think you can survive me?"
Wen Xin was stunned, she didn’t expect that Misha would also fall in love with Uncle Cen!
I intuitively feel that it is really Uncle Cen's misfortune to be liked by such an impolite and rude woman.
"Little sister, before I help you find a good family, please stay safe for a few days." The smile on Misha's face disappeared little by little, and her beautiful eyes narrowed coldly, pointing at Lin Yuer, "Never, never, never
Go mess with her! If you let me know, I will kick you out! Do you understand?"
Staring at her pale and trembling little face, Misha smiled with satisfaction and patted her shoulder gently, "Just understand. I believe you know what to do."
She turned around gracefully and left with joyful steps.
Wen Xin was stuck in place, unable to bear it any longer, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Why do you treat her like this? She just...just...likes Uncle Cen and the man who saved her...
