In the supermarket manager's office, Gu Nianxi stood there holding Ryan's hand, waiting for the staff to calculate the damage value.
Gu Nianxi held Ryan's little hand tightly and held him in her arms. She kept comforting him gently, not wanting this incident to cause too much shadow on him.
"Sophie, will we be taken away?" Ryan had tears in his eyes, and he looked at Gu Nianxi aggrievedly with his watery blue eyes.
Gu Nianxi touched his head and knelt down to comfort him, "It's okay, we won't be arrested. We can solve the problem by buying the damaged wine and bravely bearing the consequences..."
"But...it will take a lot of money."
Ryan frowned, and the anxiety on his face was not what a 6-year-old should have. Gu Nianxi was afraid that he would be too worried, so she smiled and said to him.
"Don't be afraid, sister will handle it, just remember to be careful next time."
"Yeah!" Ryan nodded vigorously.
Gu Nianxi stood up and sighed deeply with melancholy. She never expected that the second time she used Su Yuheng's black gold card, she would still buy wine, and this time she would buy dozens of broken bottles of red wine.
Gu Nianxi estimated in her mind that this was not a small sum. She thought she should inform Su Yuheng so as not to worry him. She called Su Yuheng but couldn't get through, so she sent him a message.
——I want to buy some wine and I will use the money in the card later.
After the message was sent, Gu Nianxi bit her lower lip with a frown on her face, praying that Su Yuheng would not be scared to death when he saw the consumption message.
"Miss, it's settled."
The supermarket employees sounded very rude and looked at her with some doubts. They seemed to be worried that Gu Nianxi could not afford to pay so much money, so their attitude was not very friendly.
"OK."
Gu Nianxi was worried that Ryan would be scared, so she led him out of the office and asked him to sit on a chair and wait for her, "Sit here and wait for sister. Sister will be out soon."
"How long do we have to wait?"
Ryan held Gu Nianxi's hand, looking a little flustered. Seeing him like this, Gu Nianxi remembered that the dean had told her that Ryan was abandoned in the park when he was a child. He was probably afraid that she would abandon him and not come back.
Gu Nianxi touched his little face distressedly, took out the mobile phone from her bag and put it into his hand, "You play games for a while, I will come out in a while."
"Yeah!" Ryan held Gu Nianxi's cell phone with a relaxed smile on his face.
Gu Nianxi walked in, and the supermarket manager typed the damage details on a piece of paper and handed it to her. Looking at the last number, Gu Nianxi had a sudden heart attack.
"Can you afford it?" The supermarket manager looked at Gu Nianxi, wondering how this ordinary girl could afford this money. He then looked outside the door and said, "Miss, he is not your child."
Gu Nianxi saw that the manager looked a little strange, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, he briefly explained Ryan's identity.
The other party nodded after listening, with a more complicated expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something but had difficulty speaking. The manager pursed his lips, exchanged a few words in a low voice with the staff next to him, and then spoke to Gu Nianxi.
"Miss, I suggest you contact the orphanage first. If you bear the cost, it would be a little -"
"No need to contact me. I'm really sorry for the losses this incident has caused to the supermarket. The child is still young. Since I brought him out, I am his temporary guardian. I should be responsible for the mistakes he made. Please swipe your card.
.”
The supermarket manager and staff looked at the card in her hand and looked at each other. The manager shrugged and said helplessly: "Okay."
With Gu Nianxi's persistence, the matter was finally resolved. When Gu Nianxi led Ryan out of the office, the supermarket manager and employees looked at their backs with intriguing colors in their eyes.
"This lady is really kind and she shouldn't be deceived."
"Hey, luckily she is a silly lady from a rich family. If her conditions were not good, it would be difficult to solve this matter today."
…………
Gu Nianxi walked out of the supermarket with Ryan carrying the purchased items. Ryan knew that he had made a mistake and lowered his head all the way. Seeing this, Gu Nianxi stopped and bent down to scratch the tip of his nose.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone makes mistakes. It's great if we learn to bear the consequences. You just apologized to them and we paid them money. We also helped the staff clean up the mess. Just be more careful next time.
"
"But... you spent a lot of money."
"Fool, it's okay." Gu Nianxi didn't want to put too much pressure on the child, so she smiled and rubbed Ryan's little head, "Little man, can you help sister with this?"
Gu Nianxi gave him a plastic bag. Ryan nodded vigorously and took the plastic bag in his hand.
On the way back, Gu Nianxi looked at Ryan walking beside her from time to time. She knew that if a sensitive child like Ryan suffered from harsh complaints again, he would be even more afraid of contact with others.
Gu Nianxi pretended to be fine on the surface, but actually she felt a little sad. After all, the money was spent by Su Yuheng.
I guess the scammer hasn't seen the credit card information yet.
The two walked to the villa, and Ryan looked up at the three-story bungalow in front of him, with a happy face on his face.
"Sophie, is this...your home?"
"Well...this is an uncle's home."
"Uncle?" Ryan pulled Gu Nianxi and asked curiously, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Boyfriend? Does it count? The relationship between Su Yuheng and her can also be considered a boyfriend.
Gu Nianxi didn't want to explain too complicatedly, so she nodded to Ryan, "Yes, this is my boyfriend's home, but he often doesn't come back, so you and I are the only ones living here these two days." Gu Nianxi smiled and scratched her head.
She especially liked to scratch the tip of Ryan's nose, his cute little freckled nose, "Let's go home!"
"good."
Gu Nianxi led ryan into the house. After entering, ryan stood at the door cautiously and did not dare to go in. Gu Nianxi quickly greeted him.
"Come in quickly and put the things in the kitchen. You can treat this as your own home and do whatever you want." Gu Nianxi said as she put the things she bought on the kitchen island.
After putting things away, Ryan walked to the living room. He sat obediently on the sofa and looked at Gu Nianxi who was busy in the kitchen. He glanced around again. His eyes fell on the shelf and he became interested in Su Yuheng's trophy.
I couldn't help but walked to the shelf, looked up at the layers of trophies, and opened my mouth in surprise.
"Sophie, are all these trophies yours?" Ryan asked with his innocent eyes blinking.
Gu Nianxi put the vegetables she bought into the refrigerator and replied, "It's not mine, it's all that uncle's."
"Isn't that uncle very powerful?"
"Yes, my uncle is very powerful. He can easily win awards. He is the kind of person who casually takes the first place in the class and seriously takes the first place in the school. The trophy you see is only part of it, and the other part is in his study.
I put it here because I couldn't fit it in the study."
Gu Nianxi walked out of the kitchen carrying the fruit. When she mentioned Su Yuheng, an adoring smile appeared on her face like a little girl.
Seeing Ryan's mouth open after hearing this, Gu Nianxi suddenly felt that she was quite childish. Why was she showing off to Su Yuheng in front of a child?
"Will you get married?"
"..."
Ryan's question stumped Gu Nianxi. Will they get married? She had never thought about this question.
Gu Nianxi was stunned for a while, then shook her head at Ryan, "Children, don't meddle in adults' affairs."
She didn't want to talk about adult topics with children, but she underestimated Ryan's mental age. In fact, he knew everything.
After eating the fruit, Gu Nianxi took him to visit the room upstairs, and the two of them chatted all the way.
"I'll show you your room."
Gu Nianxi arranged a room on the second floor for Ryan. Standing at the door of the room, Ryan asked her nervously.
"Then where do you live?"
"Me? I live upstairs."
"Sophie, I'm afraid of the dark. I don't dare to sleep alone at night." Ryan timidly hugged Gu Nianxi's waist, as if he was coquettishly coquettish with her, and rubbed his little head on her belly.
His behavior reminded Gu Nianxi of Su Yuheng again. The child in front of her was simply a miniature version of him, even acting coquettishly in her arms.
Think about it, let alone a six-year-old child who is afraid of the dark, the twenty-seven-year-old man also said that he is afraid of the dark, so he always turns on the light when he goes to bed at night.
"Then I'll sleep with you that night." Gu Nianxi couldn't bear it and finally agreed.
Ryan laughed happily when he heard what Gu Nianxi said, "That's great! I will definitely be very good."
"As long as you don't snore." The two looked at each other and giggled.
When it was dinner time, Gu Nianxi made a pasta for Ryan. Ryan said it was the best noodles he had ever eaten, which made Gu Nianxi very happy.
Ryan was the first person to recognize her cooking skills.
After dinner, Gu Nianxi played board games with Ryan. At nine o'clock, the two of them were about to go upstairs to rest. When they were halfway up the stairs, the door was pushed open.
Gu Nianxi looked back and saw Su Yuheng standing at the door wearing a white shirt and carrying a suit.
After not seeing each other for a week, Gu Nianxi couldn't hide her joy when Su Yuheng appeared. She ran towards him excitedly and gave him a big hug.
"Why did you come back suddenly?"
Su Yuheng kissed Gu Nianxi on the face. Her behavior surprised him, but he was very happy to see her like this.
"Miss me?" Su Yuheng put his arm around Gu Nianxi's waist and asked softly in her ear. His eyes fell on Ryan, his eyes slightly sharp.
"Hmm." Gu Nianxi hummed in a small voice, wrapped her arms around Su Yuheng's waist, and asked, "Didn't you say you were sleeping in the company?"
Su Yuheng let go of Gu Nianxi. There was no emotion on his face, but his phoenix eyes kept staring at the little guy on the stairs, "Are there guests at home?"
"Ah! By the way, let me introduce you." Gu Nianxi excitedly pulled Su Yuheng to Ryan.
"He is the little Ryan I mentioned to you. Isn't he cute?" Gu Nianxi had a sweet smile on her face and was unaware of Su Yuheng's mood swings.
Su Yuheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and put another hand around Gu Nianxi's shoulder. His actions showed that they were very close. He looked down at Ryan with a cold face and said nothing for a long time.
Ryan was a little afraid of Su Yuheng's eyes, so he dragged Gu Nianxi to hide behind her
"Don't be afraid, uncle is not a bad person." Gu Nianxi felt that Su Yuheng was a little rude to the young guest, so she held Ryan in her arms.
uncle?
Su Yuheng glanced at Gu Nianxi unexpectedly, "What did he call you?"
"Sister." Ryan whispered back to Su Yuheng.
When Su Yuheng heard the answer, he felt a little unhappy.
"You are the sister and I am the uncle?"
"Haha, it's just a title, you can shout whatever you want, oh, why do you care about this as an adult!" Gu Nianxi smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll take Ryan upstairs to rest."
Gu Nianxi said as she put her arm around Ryan's shoulders and went upstairs.
Su Yuheng stood on the stairs and stared at their backs thoughtfully, then followed them upstairs.
