Volume 5: The dust of my admiration at first sight has settled
There are swallows in Beiling, their feathers are like snow, and their feathers are broken, but they are like that, the new wind is blowing, and they will never leave.

Chapter 286: There are swallows in Beiling, and the feathers are like snow (1)
Gu Mingxi got off the plane and walked out of the airport. The cold wind was blowing, and he subconsciously raised his collar. The east had just turned white, and the sun was still hidden in the thick clouds.
"Madam." Lin Yusi came over and bowed respectfully: "I'll pick you up."
"Thank you." Gu Mingxi handed the luggage to Yu Si and got into the car.
She was not surprised that Lin Yusi showed up at the airport. Even if the man was planning to come back in the first place, he could accurately calculate when her flight would be and asked Yusi to pick her up. It was not surprising either.
The winter in country C is much colder than that in country M. The temperature in the car was set very high. She took off her heavy coat and looked out the car window. The familiar scenery made her whole heart calm and relaxed.
Thinking of meeting Long Pei soon, joy surged in my heart.
Because she slept peacefully on the plane, Gu Mingxi didn't feel sleepy at all and was in particularly good spirits.
Until the car stopped at the door, I was too lazy to put on my coat. I still had to take it off when entering the house, so I got out of the car and walked into the house. It was bright now, and the servants were all busy. When they saw her coming back, they all bowed and said good morning: "Madam, good morning
.”
"Good morning." Gu Mingxi responded with a smile.
"Madam, good morning. You are finally back. Did you miss breakfast? What would you like to eat?" Ru Bing stepped forward and took the clothes in her hand, asking thoughtfully.
"What you're good at." Gu Mingxi missed Ru Bing's breakfast very much. Yu Si had already sent her greeting back to the room, and she subconsciously asked: "Where is your Excellency?"
Both children were probably still resting at this time, but she wasn't sure about Long Pei.
Ru Bing replied with a smile: "You are in the fitness room."
Every morning, Long Pei runs on the treadmill in the fitness room for half an hour to an hour.
Gu Mingxi changed her shoes and walked to the fitness room. The closer she got to the fitness room, the more uncontrollable her heartbeat became, as if a little girl in love was approaching the boy she admired.
The fitness room is large and has all kinds of fitness equipment. The glass door allows you to directly see what's going on inside from the outside.
Long Pei was running on the treadmill in casual clothes. The sweat from his forehead flowed along his cold contours to his strong chest. Large sweat stains were clearly visible on his white T-shirt.
Sexy, charming, those four words came to Gu Mingxi's mind again: men are seductive.
She didn't go in to disturb him, and kept standing outside the door watching him exercise. It is said that men are the most attractive when they focus on their work. I don't know why every picture of Long Pei that flashed in Gu Mingxi's mind at this moment was full of charm, like an addiction.
of poison.
Gu Mingxi was a little glad at the moment that she still had a bit of beauty, otherwise why would she stand next to this man who made everyone feel ashamed! At least she didn't have to feel too inferior in front of him...
This kind of thinking is somewhat vulgar, but love is inherently vulgar, and she and Long Pei cannot avoid being vulgar.
Long Pei checked the watch on his wrist. It had been an hour. He stopped and the servant standing by immediately brought him a towel. While wiping his sweat, he turned around and his eyes happened to meet Gu Mingxi's.
…
The two people looked at each other across a glass wall. Long Pei's deep eyes flashed with emotion for just a second, and then calmed down.
After walking out of the fitness room, Gu Mingxi kept looking at him, her red lips parted lightly: "I'm back."
Long Pei's handsome face remained indifferent, and he said in a neutral tone: "I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, he ignored Gu Mingxi and left.
Gu Mingxi turned around and looked at his back, with a helpless smile on her lips.
what to do?
Their Apei was really angry this time.

Long Pei took a bath and changed clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. Gu Mingxi also changed clothes and sat at the dining table waiting for him. She even made coffee for him and spread jam evenly on his bread.
Long Pei sat down and just said thank you and started to have breakfast slowly.
Gu Mingxi raised her eyebrows and said thank you very politely! Since there were many servants present in the restaurant, she didn't say anything.
Long Pei had breakfast and drank coffee. He didn't even continue his usual habit of reading the newspaper. He stood up directly: "Get the car ready."
"Yes." Ru Bing turned around and informed Yu Si.
"Will you come back for lunch?" The two children are still resting, and they cannot have breakfast together.
"I'll have a meeting in the afternoon." He said in disguise that he would not come back to have dinner with her at noon.
Gu Mingxi looked calm and showed no reaction, "What about tonight?"
Long Pei glanced at her with Yingjun's eyes. Seeing that her mood was very calm, he twitched his thin lips and said, "Not sure!"
"Try to come back as soon as possible." Gu Mingxi stood up and walked to him. Her slender fingers adjusted his tie and collar with a faint smile on her lips.
Long Pei narrowed his eyes, just expressed gratitude, said "thank you" and turned to leave the restaurant.
"What a stingy man!" Gu Mingxi murmured helplessly, feeling for the first time that the word "thank you" is really annoying!
Long Pei's footsteps seemed to pause for a second, then he started to move and left the main house without hesitation.
After he left, Gu Mingxi had no appetite for dinner. After drinking scented tea for a while, the two children got up.
Long Lifei changed into his school uniform, held a book in one hand, and led Long Ziqi downstairs with the other. The two stood together like a golden boy.
When Long Lifei's eyes saw Gu Mingxi, his cold eyes couldn't help but soften, and his voice was more emotional than usual, "Mingxi."
"I'm back." Gu Mingxi stood up and walked forward to hug him.
Long Lifei said nothing. He held Yan'er's hand and hugged her tightly. He didn't know how to express his feelings, but his reliance on Gu Mingxi was far beyond his imagination.
Long Ziqi's hand was released and he stood aside watching them embrace each other, with an indifferent look on his beautiful facial features.
Gu Mingxi turned her head and saw Long Ziqi. She happened to be looking at Gu Mingxi too. There was only half a step between the two of them. She didn't lose control of her emotions, nor did she look at her with cold, disgusted or hostile eyes like before.
Looking at Gu Mingxi.
I was shocked. Could it be that because we had been apart for so long, Yan'er began to gradually forget those negative emotions and could slowly accept herself?
Suppressing his excitement, Gu Mingxi knelt down, his watery eyes sparkling with light, and his voice filled with a hint of happiness, "Yan'er, I'm back... Do you still remember me?... I'm mom.
Mi..."
Long Ziqi said nothing and looked at her with clear eyes. What he thought of was Long Pei pointing at the photo and saying to himself: She is your mommy...
Seeing that she had no reaction, Gu Mingxi smiled: "My name is Gu Mingxi, and I am your mommy!"
Long Ziqi glanced at Long Lifei subconsciously with an expressionless face, and Long Lifei nodded slightly to her. Her eyes looked at Gu Mingxi again, and she just nodded invisibly.
It was just an invisible movement. Gu Mingxi's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a secret sigh of relief. He was unprecedentedly happy and excited. His arms waving in the air wanted to hold her in his arms, but they couldn't.
Afraid of scaring Yaner.
Seeing her hands raised, Long Ziqi instinctively hid on Long Lifei's body, trembling and trembling, as if he was afraid of what she would do to him.
The joy that had just risen to Gu Mingxi's brows was frozen by her instinctive trembling and fear. She knew that Yan'er was not afraid of herself, but of the person who was very similar to herself but who hurt her...
Thinking that Yan'er had experienced so many hardships, her heart suddenly tightened, which was even more painful than being stuffed with a handful of coptis.
Long Lifei patted her shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." He looked at Long Ziqi with encouraging eyes.
Long Ziqi hesitated for a moment, looked at Gu Mingxi, and slowly walked out from behind him with a trembling body.
"Yan'er, I'm mommy, I won't hurt you." Gu Mingxi knew that she understood. Her Yan'er was so smart and sensible, how could she not understand. "Can you let me hug you?"
Long Ziqi subconsciously rejected contact with Gu Mingxi. She looked up and saw Long Lifei nodding. His eyes seemed to say, It doesn't matter, you have to believe us.
Long Pei often hugged her and kept talking to her about mommy, mommy...
The woman in front of me doesn't seem that scary.
Gu Mingxi opened her arms and stared at her expectantly with her clear eyes. Her exquisite facial features softened by the warmth of the light, beautiful and gentle, giving people a close affinity.
Long Ziqi didn't want to disappoint Long Lifei, nor did he want to see Long Pei's solemn eyes. The hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched into small fists, and every step he raised seemed to be tied with a stone.
It seems very heavy.
Gu Mingxi could see that she was nervous, but his excitement could not be suppressed enough, so he hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in his life.
Long Ziqi's body shivered as if frightened for a while, and then the nervousness made his body tense and stiff, and he was tightly held in her arms.
Even so, Gu Mingxi still hugged her greedily, and a big tear fell silently from her eyes. She finally found her daughter.
Long Lifei was not unhappy when he saw Gu Mingxi crying. Gu Mingxi's eyes shed tears, but the corners of her mouth curled up. These were tears of happiness.
His usually cool little face showed a faint smile for the first time, and his thin lips curled up silently, without even him noticing.
Long Ziqi nervously wanted to push her away, but when she looked at Long Lifei, she found that he pursed his lips and smiled. He was not dignified or cold, and looked very good-looking. For a moment, he forgot to push away Gu Mingxi who was holding her.
His stiff body also relaxed unconsciously. It turned out that if he was hugged by her, his brother would laugh.
Gu Mingxi, who was holding Yan'er, would not know how Long Pei held Yan'er while she was away, pointing at the photo over and over again and saying to Yan'er: This is your mommy...
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt wetness on my shoulders...
Gu Mingxi pursed her lips with an apology on her face: "I'm sorry..."
The corners of the eyes are obviously red...
Long Ziqi's expressionless expression flashed through a trace of fog...
She cried.
Why?
******************Master, please recommend the dividing line for votes******************
In the President's Office, Lu Banxia put the documents he had screened on his desk. His long hair was tied up to reveal his exquisite facial features. He was dressed in a black suit that covered his bulging figure. He was slightly sexy yet capable and neat.
Long Pei's eyes glanced at her hand unintentionally, leaving a scar on Bai Xi's skin that has not yet completely healed.
"What happened? It's not healed yet." He said in a low voice without even raising his eyelids.
Lu Banxia's hand froze for a moment, and there seemed to be a dull pain coming from the wound, as if the skin was burned by fire. His expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I accidentally got scalded by boiling water."
Accidentally scalded by boiling water?
This wound is probably a month or two old. The burn is so serious. Is it still taking a long time to heal?
Long Pei paused with the pen in his hand, suddenly raised his head and asked her: "How long has Bai Yan been gone?"
There was a hint of panic in his calm eyes, and his cold expression tried his best to maintain his composure, "Nearly two months."
Two months later, her wound had been left since Bai Yan left. There was a chill in her eyebrows, and her voice was cold: "Ban Xia, you are a smart woman."
It's not that some injuries won't heal, it's that she doesn't want to let them heal.
Lu Banxia's thin lips revealed a silent bitter smile. Everyone said that she was a smart woman. A smart woman shouldn't be stupid for the sake of a romantic relationship.
My father said the same thing.
With her hands behind her back, her fingers couldn't help but want to pinch the newly healed wound. It was the same every time. When the scar was healed, she couldn't help but pinch it, leaving the wound as if she could remember something.
In fact, I can't remember anything.
"Sir, I am sensible." He said calmly.
Long Pei didn't say anything. He kept staring at her calm expression with his sharp eyes. His cold eyes were so sharp that he seemed to be able to see through the soul behind this soft body, which made people feel ashamed.
Lu Banxia bit her inner lip secretly. Even after so many years of training, she still couldn't resist his natural majesty and momentum when facing his sharp and cold gaze. She slowly let go of the hand holding the wound...
The cracked scar oozed bright red blood...
"Bai Yan also said this to me back then." What happened? He was still stuck in feelings and couldn't extricate himself, and in the end his own future was ruined.
Lu Banxia's body trembled, and a trace of sadness and despair flashed in his eyes, "I understand."
"Take care of the wound and give you a day off." It's not that Long Pei really cares about Lu Banxia, it's just that Bai Yan has left, and he needs a secretary-general who is capable and dedicated to assisting him.
Lu Banxia came from a good family, with excellent abilities and accomplishments, and was promoted by Bai Yan. Now Long Pei has used her as Bai Yan. If he loses the second Bai Yan, his loss will be great.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Lu Banxia did not show off. This is the last chance you have given yourself. If you return to work and are still in this state, you will definitely transfer yourself. "I have nothing else to do and I will go out first."
Long Pei nodded, indicating that she could leave first.
Lu Banxia walked out of the office. When she turned her head, she could see the scenery outside the window. The hazy sky was filled with snowflakes that were floating in the wind at an unknown time. It was beautiful but also cold.
His eyes fell on the bleeding hand, and a paleness swept through his eyes...
In this vast and heavy snow, I don't know where that person is and whether he is okay at this moment.

It was snowing heavily on Christmas Eve, and Long Pei really did not return to the main house. Because a meeting lasted for three hours with no results, Long Pei kept a sullen face and dragged everyone away until there was a result.
After the meeting, everyone else quickly left the presidential palace to go home to reunite with their families. Long Pei also had a meeting with the think tank. He couldn't stop it from the beginning until late at night. In the second half of the night, he simply rested in the office lounge and had a change of clothes.
, which is quite convenient.
Christmas.
Gu Mingxi asked Ru Bing to purchase Christmas trees and lanterns. The servants were busy decorating them. She wanted to join them, but Ru Bing stopped her. She was only allowed to watch, and she could give instructions, but she was not allowed to do it herself.
The one-meter-tall Christmas tree is hung with colored lights, which looks extremely beautiful after being powered on. The windows of the house are covered with snowflakes, and there are colorful balloons everywhere, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Ru Bing smiled and sighed: "Madam, the Presidential Palace has not been so lively for a long time."
Gu Mingxi looked at the lively atmosphere and showed an elegant smile. In fact, she was not interested in festivals, but with two children at home, it was always good for her to create some lively atmosphere.
Long Lifei took Long Ziqi's hand and went downstairs. He was stunned for a moment when he saw such a scene. Then he saw Gu Mingxi's smiling expression, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
Long Ziqi opened his eyes wide and looked at the red and green things, as well as the snowflakes hanging on the window, and his eyes brightened up.
Gu Mingxi saw them standing at the top of the stairs and asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied?"
"Not bad." Long Lifei gave a two-word evaluation, which was already very good.
Gu Mingxi looked at Long Ziqi beside him: "You like it too, right?"
Long Ziqi said nothing and kept staring at the lights on the Christmas tree. There was no doubt that she liked them.
Gu Mingxi saw Long Lifei wearing a coat and asked, "Are you going out now?"
"Yeah." Long Lifei let go of Long Ziqi's hand and let her go play by the Christmas tree, "Something happened."
Gu Mingxi thought that he might be going to the Haoting Garden. If he waited for Long Pei to come back before going, Long Pei might not agree. He had a grudge against Yi Ruo, but the child couldn't resent him. He stepped forward and hugged Long Lifei, and told him
Said: "It's cold, come back early."
"I will." Long Lifei said goodbye to her, then said goodbye to Long Ziqi and left.
Gu Mingxi walked him to the door and stood at the door watching him get into the car. Long Ziqi also came over and stood beside her to watch him off.
Long Ziqi's eyes were obviously not as bright as before. When Long Lifei's car disappeared from her sight, she lowered her eyes, her whole person feeling gloomy and indifferent.
