Chapter 297: There are swallows in Beiling, and the feathers are like snow (12)
(After Gu Mingxi paid, he realized that Yan'er was not around. His face suddenly changed. He looked around quickly for Yan'er. When he saw Long Ziqi, who was walking towards the middle of the road, his heart almost stopped beating.)
Didi didi——
The piercing whistle sounded, and Gu Mingxi stared at Yan'er's figure in horror, and immediately ran towards the road: "Yan'er, be careful!"
Long Ziqi seemed not to hear any sound. His clear black and white pupils only reflected the balloons floating in the air. There was no emotion or fear on his oval face.
The green light had turned into a red light, and the traffic was about to flow continuously. Gu Mingxi only felt that his heart was about to be crushed by those wheels.
The distance was a little far, and Gu Mingxi couldn't save her in time before the car hit Yan'er...
When the car was about to hit him, an elegant white shadow suddenly appeared in the crowd on the roadside and picked up Yan'er. He turned around and nimbly dodged the passing traffic, and safely carried the child to the side of the road.
"Yan'er!" Gu Mingxi saw that Yan'er was safe, and kept replaying the scene in his mind, with anger, worry, fear, and mixed feelings. He was so angry that he knelt down and slapped her hard without hesitation.
On Long Ziqi's butt, a cold voice scolded: "You have to look at the traffic lights when crossing the road. I have taught you how many times before, why can't you remember it?"
Long Ziqi's dull expression seemed to have come back from something. His clear pupils looked at her anxiously, and the corners of his eyes were even slightly moist.
After Gu Mingxi finished beating and scolding her, he looked at her expressionless face and gradually calmed down. He immediately regretted how he could hit Yan'er.
She couldn't remember what happened before at all.
"Yan'er, I..."
"Mom, Mommy..." Long Ziqi opened her mouth, her voice was very hoarse and immature, like a child who had just learned to speak and was very unskilled.
Gu Mingxi was stunned. Did he hear wrongly?
Long Ziqi had been looking at the balloon just now, and vaguely remembered in her mind that someone bought her a balloon with an animal head a long time ago. And the way she hit herself when she was angry...
——You have to look at the traffic lights when crossing the road. How many times have I taught you this before, but why can’t you remember it?
This sentence reached my ears, and many pictures flashed through my mind. In the picture, there was a woman holding her hand very gently, pointing at the traffic light and patiently explaining to herself.
Is it the person in front of me, is it her?
"Mommy." She spoke again, this time with a firm tone.
Tears fell silently from her beautiful eyes. Gu Mingxi was almost stunned, looking at her with disbelief, her voice choked with sobs: "What did you call me?"
"Mommy!" Long Ziqi called her for the third time. Although her expression was still the same, the coldness and unfamiliarity had disappeared.
Gu Mingxi burst into laughter and hugged Long Ziqi in her arms, "You are finally willing to speak."
She held her very tightly, leaving no gaps, almost breaking her bones. Long Ziqi did not say a word, because she felt that her worries and fears came from her heart, and she also knew that it must be the flash in her mind.
That person who passed by.
It was what Daddy kept repeating - Mommy.
Gu Mingxi's first reaction was not that Yan'er recognized her, but that she was willing to speak. This meant that Yan'er was gradually coming out of the shadow of the past two years and would become a normal child.
Then he realized that she recognized him, and was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He looked up and saw the girl with a lollipop in her mouth, and then realized that he had been focusing on Yan'er and forgot to thank the person who saved Yan'er.
She has a neat ponytail, an oval face, apricot eyes, rosy cherry lips under a tall nose, a long white skirt paired with a denim jacket, she is particularly fresh and energetic, and she is probably only 20 years old.
Gu Mingxi stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for saving my daughter."
The girl reached out and took out the lollipop in her mouth, showing a bright smile: "You don't need to thank me, this is what I should do."
Before Gu Mingxi understood what she meant, the bodyguard in the crowd came over and said respectfully: "Madam, Miss." After a pause, his eyes looked at the energetic girl: "Miss Seventh!"
They were originally going to come to rescue the young lady just now, but the seventh young lady beat them to it.
Gu Mingxi saw the bodyguard greeting the girl and looked at her: "Are you... Xiaoqi?"
As for the name Xiaoqi, she has always heard its name but never seen her name. When she saw it today, it felt really strange. It was different from what she had thought before!
"You know me too! Did Old Man Ye say a lot of bad things about me in front of you?" Xiao Qi couldn't help but purse her mouth when she mentioned the three words "Old Man Ye".
Gu Mingxi shook his head: "I heard A Pei mention it once."
"It's Brother Pei! I knew that Brother Pei was the best. He wouldn't always say bad things about me like Old Man Ye!" He smiled brightly and held the lollipop in his mouth again, like a simple girl who didn't understand the world.
But her skill in saving Yan'er just now was definitely not inferior to hers.
The bodyguard standing nearby noticed that more and more eyes were looking around him, and he couldn't help but said: "Madam, Miss Seven, this is not the place to talk."
Gu Mingxi reacted and looked at Xiao Qi: "We are about to eat, let's go together."
"Eat?" Xiaoqi's eyes lit up again: "Okay, okay! I want to eat meat, a lot of meat!"
Gu Mingxi smiled and bent down to pick up Yan'er. Long Ziqi frowned: "Heavy." She is already a teenager and does not need anyone to hold her.
"It's not heavy." Gu Mingxi hugged her and refused to let go. In her eyes, her daughter would always be a little girl, so how could it be heavy?
Seeing the tenderness and joy in her eyes, Long Ziqi gave up struggling and let her carry him towards the gate of Mingruo Pavilion.
Private room in Mingruo Pavilion.
Gu Mingxi and Yan'er sat together, and Long Lifei and Xiao Qi sat together. They looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't put them down anymore, but there were still many left.
"You order so much, can you finish it?" It's not that Gu Mingxi is stingy and reluctant to let her eat, but is this too much?
Xiao Qi was shocked and said: "Why is there so much? It's not enough to eat, okay?"
Gu Mingxi: "..."
Long Lifei still didn't know what happened, why did Mingxi and Yan'er come back with such an edible freak! He looked at Gu Mingxi and asked, but Gu Mingxi just gave him a look that meant he would explain later.
In fact, Xiao Qi was right. There was not enough food at all. Eighty percent of it was eaten by her alone, and she only had to burp very ungracefully.
It was not surprising that the bodyguard secretly followed Gu Mingxi, but Xiao Qi's appearance made her confused.
"Why are you here? The bodyguards all know you?" The bodyguards' attitude towards Xiao Qi was equally respectful.
Xiao Qi drank tea carelessly: "Brother Pei said that you were bored alone in the Presidential Palace, so you asked me to come and play with you! I happened to have nothing to do today, so I followed you all the way. As for the bodyguards, they were either trained by Nan Si or Ye Jia.
, it’s not surprising that you know me.”
She would not tell Gu Mingxi that all the bodyguards who were trained back then were humiliated by her. Who said that those men were inferior in skills and could not beat her, so they could only be bullied by her.
Gu Mingxi heard Qian Shang mention Xiao Qi. This child is so noisy. She had a vague feeling that someone was watching her in the mall before, and it turned out to be Xiao Qi!
"I still have to thank you for what happened today!"
"Really want to thank me?" Xiao Qi looked at her seriously.
Gu Mingxi nodded.
"Can you let me pack three portions of ice cream to take away?" Xiao Qi clasped her hands together and looked at Gu Mingxi, fearing that she would refuse her request.
Gu Mingxi: "..." Are you sure her stomach won't be burst?
"Can."
Xiao Qi immediately laughed: "You are so good, a hundred times better than Old Man Ye and Brother Pei, no, a thousand times ten thousand times! You don't know how hateful Old Man Ye is, he even froze my card.
The three meals a day rule only allows people to give you a small amount, I want to starve to death!"
Gu Mingxi suddenly felt that it was not easy for Ye Jia. Taking care of Xiao Qi was even more difficult and difficult than taking care of Yan'er.
"If you want, you can live in the Presidential Palace and no one will restrict what you can eat."
Xiao Qi originally wanted to refuse. She has always disliked the Presidential Palace. There are many rules, especially Brother Pei’s eyes, which are scarier than a knife blade. Then she thought about it. Brother Pei is not in the Presidential Palace, and Ye Jia’s people cannot enter the Presidential Palace and cannot control it.
Himself, this means that he can do whatever he wants, no, he can do whatever he wants.
"Okay! I'll trouble you then... No, I should call you Madam..." Xiao Qi, who was very nervous, finally realized the problem with the title.
Gu Mingxi smiled: "You can call me by my name, Gu Mingxi!" Xiao Qi is really so cute.
Xiao Qi's eyes sparkled: "Really! Then I will call you Sister Mingxi... You are simply a fairy, Fairy Sister!"
Long Lifei was already frowning at the irritable Xiao Qi noisy. He really didn't know how there could be such a noisy person! Fortunately, Fei Fei and Yan'er were not like her!
Gu Mingxi asked the manager to pack three portions of ice cream for Xiao Qi to take to the Presidential Palace. Ming Ruoge's ice cream was also top notch, and could not be matched by anyone outside.
When she stood up, Yan'er also stood up and took the initiative to hold Gu Mingxi's hand.
Long Lifei noticed this detail, his eyes were stunned for a second, then he understood, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the car, Long Lifei was sitting in the passenger seat. The partition board in the middle was raised. He really didn't want to hear Xiao Qi's irritating voice.
Xiao Qi, who was behind the car, was already holding the ice cream and started to eat it. She looked at Gu Mingxi with bright eyes and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother Pei is in n city. Sister Fairy, why are you still in the mood to go shopping?"
Gu Mingxi's eyes fell on Long Ziqi, who was leaning in his arms. The smile at the corner of his mouth was as gentle as water, and he said lightly: "Is it because the sky is falling that he feels that he can't live anymore?"
She understood what Xiao Qi meant. At this moment, as the president's wife, she should be concerned about the people, but her husband had already gone to the front line. She believed that Apei could solve everything.
Although citizens are important, her children are equally important.
Xiao Qi thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "That's right! Even if anyone dies, the earth will still rotate the same!"
Gu Mingxi: "..." That's not what I meant at all, okay!
…………
Ru Bing met Xiao Qi once. At that time, she was still a child. She was held in Ye Jia's arms. Her pair of big black eyes were particularly beautiful. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the little girl back then had grown up into a young girl named Tingting.
"Prepare a guest room for Xiao Qi." After Gu Mingxi ordered Ru Bing, he looked at Xiao Qi who was sitting on the sofa and chewing the carrots he didn't know where he came from. He couldn't help laughing, why did she eat it again? "
If you need anything, just tell Ru Bing directly."
Xiao Qi nodded, holding the carrot in his hand, and his eyes fell on Long Ziqi, whom he had rescued: "Is this Brother Pei's daughter?"
Long Ziqi subconsciously moved closer to Gu Mingxi, as if she didn't like Xiao Qi.
"She's my and Apei's daughter." Only now did she see Yan'er. Where was Xiao Qi's attention before?
"Little girl, please call me sister, and I'll give you a carrot!" Xiaoqi waved his hand and conjured a carrot like magic, tempting Long Ziqi.
Gu Mingxi couldn't laugh or cry: "..." My daughter is not a little white rabbit! Moreover, if Xiao Qi calls Brother A Pei and Yan'er calls Sister Xiao Qi, the generational hierarchy will be messed up...
Long Ziqi didn't buy Xiao Qi's account at all. She tugged at the corner of Gu Mingxi's clothes with her fingers and said in a low voice: "Mommy!"
Long Lifei, who was drinking water while standing in front of the dining table, took a sip. He looked at Long Ziqi in surprise with his always cold and emotionless eyes, suspecting that his ear was broken.
Gu Mingxi lowered his head and held her little hand: "Want to sleep? Can you let me go to bed with you?"
Long Ziqi looked at Long Lifei.
Long Lifei's eyes shifted from Long Ziqi to Gu Mingxi, as if he was asking her what was going on.
"Take Yan'er upstairs to rest first, and I'll explain to you later."
Long Lifei glanced at Xiao Qi who was happily chewing carrots, then walked over and took Long Ziqi's hand upstairs. Long Ziqi let go of Gu Mingxi's hand and glanced at Gu Mingxi, as if he wanted to be with her.
Gu Mingxi smiled slightly and motioned for her and her brother to go upstairs first, and he would go up in a moment.
Xiaoqi finished chewing the carrot in her hand and focused her eyes on the fruit plate on the coffee table. She was just about to pick up the apple when she was stopped by someone!
"My stomach will burst." Gu Mingxi's calm voice was full of worry.
Xiao Qi hesitated, thinking that she had eaten a lot today, so she silently retracted her paw and pointed at her fingers. If she didn't eat, she would have nothing to do. She was so bored.
"After the room is arranged, you can go and have a rest. I will ask Ru Bing to prepare a big meal for you in the evening." Gu Mingxi saw her hesitant look, so she had to make a move!
Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay! I want to eat pork knuckles, chicken wings, chicken legs, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried beef, charcoal grilled crayfish, Italian seafood noodles, and for soup, I'll drink West Lake beef soup...
…”
He listed more than a dozen kinds of dishes at once, and none of them were vegetables. Gu Mingxi showed a helpless and doting smile. Fortunately, Ye Jia could afford it. If the financial conditions were worse, if Xiao Qi ate like this, she would have gone bankrupt long ago.
.
Xiao Qi thought about having meat to eat when she woke up, and went back to her room to rest in a good mood.
Gu Mingxi went upstairs, and Long Lifei had already coaxed Long Ziqi to sleep. She told her what happened at noon, but Long Lifei didn't say much. He was happy that Long Ziqi could talk and was willing to get close to Mingxi.
I just don’t know when Yan’er will be willing to call him: Brother.
