From Laoliu Lane to the shore of Nanhu Lake, Qingxi and Gu Mingyan walked slowly side by side, which was a warm-up before a morning run.

The sky is still a dark curtain, dotted with stars, everything is silent, an unmarried couple is alone, and the atmosphere is slightly warm.

"Is it cold?" It was close to the lake and the wind was a little strong. Gu Mingyan asked his fiancée with concern.

Qingxi shook her head and asked him back, "She was so cold when she saw it."

"I won't be cold when I'm with you." Gu Mingyan said softly.

Qingxi's ears heated up, and the scene he had just opened the door and saw it inexplicably touched a place in his heart. The tall and handsome man quietly came to her house before dawn. The temperature in the morning was so low that he must be cold, but he didn't know how long he had been waiting for her. Never man had treated her like this before, Qingxi couldn't help thinking, if there were no old lady Gu and the eldest lady's concerns, if Gu Mingyan would have been so kind to her, it would seem good to marry Gu Mingyan.

The girl lowered her head shyly, Gu Mingyan approached her side and asked in her ear: "Guess, how many stars are there in the sky now?"

Qingxi raised his head and glanced at the stars in the sky. How could he guess?

Gu Mingyan smiled, put his hands in his pocket, and said confidently: "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

Qingxi didn't believe it: "How do you know?"

Gu Mingyan suddenly turned around and stopped his fiancée face to face, smiling at her surprised almond eyes: "When I was waiting for you just now, I counted it, and when I counted it to 9999, the girl I liked appeared."

The girl I like...

Qingxi's face burned.

The romantic starry sky, the silent alley, the low and gentle confession, just as the beginning of love, which girl is resistant to it?

Facing Gu Mingyan's burning gaze, Qingxi lowered his head and ran around him.

Gu Mingyan turned around and looked at the girl's petite and slender back, with gentleness in her eyes.

He had been in love several times, but he had never said such love words to other women, because only Qingxi is so small, pure and so easy to be shy. Only Qingxi will make him say those things naturally. She ran in front, stepping on his heart with gentle steps, strange feeling, Gu Mingyan thought, he probably really liked it.

The first time, I really like a girl, it has nothing to do with physical needs.

Just watched her jogging away slowly, until the sudden satisfaction passed, Gu Mingyan pulled out his hand and went to chase his fiancée.

Qingxi kept the speed at the same time. When she heard him approaching, she didn't hide anymore. The lakeside was ahead, and Qingxi bit her lip. In the past, she would run from east to north and south. Today, Qingxi wanted to come back.

She didn't know the grudge between Mr. Gu and the Gu family, but she must have a grudge. Qingxi thought it would be better to avoid letting the two meet.

Qingxi has basically understood Gu Sanye’s morning run route. From Hualien Road in the west of the lake, through the long dike in the middle of the lake, and then from north to east, this is also the reason why the two of them can meet each other face to face twice. Now she has changed the route. As long as she slows down and runs on the long dike after Gu Sanye, she will always fall behind him without meeting him.

On the long dike, on the south side of the arch bridge, Gu Huaixiu stopped a hundred meters away from the bridge head, with his hands in his pockets and facing the trunk. Above his head is an old camphor tree that has been lush with branches and leaves. Like other camphor trees on both sides of the long dike, a green winding corridor was built on the lake surface, with street lights hidden on the trees, grass, and the light and shadow on the lake surface were mottled.

The wind is strong and the humidity is thick, so I don’t feel cold when I run. Now I have stopped for a while and my body is as strong as Master Gu San, and I feel the chill.

Gu Huaixiu looked north of the arch bridge, and it was quiet, with only the sound of the lake water slapped the embankment.

He subconsciously touched his pocket, only touched Laifu's breakfast, without cigarettes.

Lai Fu, who was squatting beside him, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction he was coming.

Changli is not flat. This section of road arch bridge is dense, and it blocks the view from high and low. Gu Huaixiu closed his eyes and listened, and there seemed to be a running sound, one light and one heavy, one man and one woman.

Gu Huaixiu did not move and continued to lean against the tree. The man's face was indifferent and handsome, with long eyelashes. If he ignored the coldness below his eyes, just looking at these closed eyes, he was even more delicate than a beautiful woman.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the man was still like a sculpture. Lai Fu always tilted his head and looked over there alertly.

Qingxi ran to the top of the bridge with difficulty. In front of her was the arch bridge that she and Mr. Gu San met twice. At first glance, there was no one. Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief and felt that Mr. Gu San had already run over here, but just as she was about to wipe her sweat, her eyes suddenly settled under a camphor tree on the side of the road.

The man in black is inseparable from the big black-haired dog.

How could he stop there?

Thinking of the head, Qingxi looked nervously at Gu Mingyan beside him.

Gu Mingyan's pace was slowing down for a few seconds, but after last time he found Gu Huaixiu on the shore of Nanhu Lake, he asked someone to check Gu Huaixiu's residence and knew that Gu Huaixiu lived on Hualien Road. So now he ran into the strange third uncle. Gu Mingyan was only briefly surprised for a moment and soon returned to his normal running speed.

However, his eyes flashed over the man's sportswear, Gu Mingyan's heart moved and asked Qingxi in a low voice: "Did you meet him two days ago?"

Qingxi nodded.

Gu Mingyan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes returned to Qingxi's face from the man: "Can there be any conversation?"

Qingxi was breathing heavily and came up in one breath. Just as she was about to talk about Fugui robbing other people's dog food, Fugui, who had been following behind, finally found that like Master Gu, rushed to the front, and shouted at him. Qingxi gritted his teeth and greedy dogs. Did she forget that she had meat pies on her? Qingxi quickly grabbed her purse and shouted Fugui angrily.

There was only a dog in her eyes, but Gu Mingyan noticed that Gu Huaixiu, who seemed to be closed and resting, turned his head and looked here. The light was dim and Gu Mingyan couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly, but it was obvious that Gu Huaixiu's head did not turn back, and was looking at him, or, looking at Qingxi holding a purse to attract wealth.

Qingxi broke a small piece of meat pie for Fugui.

The little guy is happy to eat, and it is easy for the little guy to be satisfied. Since the owner has something delicious here, he no longer cares about another dog's things.

Qingxi was relieved. In this situation, she would be satisfied if Fugui didn't embarrass her.

After packing his purse, Qingxi continued to jog, but as he ran, Qingxi always felt something was wrong. She quietly looked to the roadside, and the big black dog was staring at her, his body was not moving, and his head turned as she approached. The dogs were alert, and there was nothing strange to observe strangers, but Qingxi was shocked to find that Mr. Gu, who was leaning against the trunk, was also staring at her. His eyes were like a cold pool, hidden in the shadow of the tree, like a poisonous snake, and like a wolf peeking at the prey!

The second when her eyes were facing each other, Qingxi could no longer describe it as fear. She felt that she seemed to have become a person who owed Gu Sanye a huge debt, and Gu Sanye was the cruel creditor who was about to use the bloodiest means to deal with her! Even though she knew that this was an illusion and she didn't owe him anything, Qingxi was still so cold that she instinctively hid beside her companions.

On one side is the cold expression of the enemy, and on the other side is the timid little fiancée who needs protection. Gu Ming blocked Qingxi seriously, replied to Gu Huaixiu's warning look, and then protected Qingxi and passed by the man and dog, ran up the arch bridge, and gradually moved away.

The irrelevant man and woman left, Lai Fu raised his head and looked at the master in confusion, not understanding why the master was standing here all the time.

Gu Huaixiu touched Lai Fu's head. Thinking of the scene of his nephew and his prospective niece-in-law running side by side in the morning, he lowered his eyes and curled his lips slightly.

The lilac flowers this morning are a bit not very cute.

After the long morning run, Gu Mingyan walked slowly with Qingxi. When Qingxi had the strength to speak, he asked again about the encounter between Qingxi and Gu Huaixiu.

Qingxi had nothing to hide, and she said it all in detail, complaining about wealth and honor. Remembering the look of Mr. Gu San's eyes just now, Qingxi was frightened and asked Gu Mingyan for the first time: "Does he have a holiday with your family?" Gu San's wife knew about her relationship with Gu Mingyan on the train. Mr. Gu hated the Gu family, so it was normal for him to take his anger on her.

Qingxi wanted to know how deep the grudge was, and then take some precautions to prevent Mr. Gu from taking revenge on her.

The death of his father made Qingxi understand the fragility of ordinary people. If possible, Qingxi would not want to provoke any enemies.

The little girl frowned, looking worried about not being in line with her age. Gu Mingyan softened his heart and sighed: "His biological mother is my grandfather's outer room. When he was eight years old, his concubine took him to burn incense and was kidnapped by the robbers. The concubine died. He didn't know where he fled. How could he say, the relationship between the mistress and the concubine would definitely not be very harmonious. There are rumors in the market that my grandmother framed the concubine. He was young at the time and had an obsession with the rumors. Now he returned to his hometown with glory, most of whom he wanted to make some trouble for our family."

Qingxi was stunned.

The biological mother was killed by the robbers, and Mr. Gu was also very pitiful. As for whether it had anything to do with Mrs. Gu, Qingxi had no intention of exploring it.

"Don't worry, our grudges with him will never involve you." Gu Mingyan gently plucked the broken hair on Qingxi's forehead.

Qingxi moved a step to the side uncomfortably.

Gu Mingyan smiled and looked at the direction of the long dike in the distance. He frowned and said, "I will come to accompany you from now on."

Qingxi said he didn't need it.

Gu Mingyan just laughed and sent her home.

Old Mrs. Xu already knew that Gu Mingyan had run with her granddaughter in the morning. The young man had this kind of heart. Old Mrs. Xu was so happy that she asked the kitchen to make a few exquisite snacks, so she kept Gu Mingyan here. Gu Mingyan changed her suit in the car, and after washing her face, she looked refreshed and handsome. As soon as Old Mrs. Xu stayed, he agreed.

Qingxi was reserved, so Gu Mingyan was determined to please his two sisters-in-law. Yuxi and Yunxi liked him, and the atmosphere in the main hall was lively.

Lin Wanyin sat upright in the main seat, looking at the handsome prospective son-in-law, feeling mixed feelings. She hoped that her daughter would be happy after marrying Gu Mingyan, but she was also worried that Gu Mingyan had some fickle problems with a rich young man. She married a beautiful wife at home and went out to have sex with her.

Breakfast was served on the table and everyone sat around. Gu Mingyan was very good at coaxing people. Yunxi's sweet laughter came from the dining table every once in a while.

On Hualien Road, Gu Huaixiu's villa, the atmosphere is different.

Lu Duo yawned down the spiral stairs, looked down, and saw that his uncle had already run back in the morning. He changed into a black suit and sat at the long dining table by the window to read the newspaper. The sun shone brightly into the glass window, and there were no outsiders at home. He wore sunglasses. Lai Fu was obviously a pure police dog seedling, but now he was curled by his uncle, as if he had become a blind dog.

"I said uncle, aren't you tired like this?" After going down the stairs, Lu Duo stretched and said disgustingly, "Look at how bright the sun is outside, how good the chrysanthemums are blooming. Put on sunglasses, the sky is cloudy and the flowers are gray, so you can see whatever you see."

Gu Huaixiu suddenly raised his head and looked at his nephew in sunglasses.

Lu Duo shut up tactfully and jumped to the dining table in three or two steps. The breakfast was bread and milk, which was monotonous and boring.

"Uncle, let's hire a chef in Hangzhou?" Lu Duo had no appetite and turned his fork and suggested, "Shanjuke is the restaurant next to Yiwanxian. I think his chef is good at craftsmanship, so let's dig two chefs here?"

Gu Huaixiu continued to read the newspaper.

Lu Duo stared at him for a while, stopped eating, stood up and said, "I'll go out to go to a restaurant, okay?"

Gu Huaixiu ignored it and threw a yellow envelope on the dining table: "Before tonight, I will deliver it to the Xu girl, don't show up."

The girl from the Xu family?

Lu Duo picked up the envelope in confusion, without sealing it, poured it out, and three photos slipped out.

After seeing it, Lu Duo was gloating. Didn’t Gu Mingyan go to Miss Qingxi every day? This time he wanted to see if the matter was exposed, and if Gu Mingyan still has the face to approach Miss Qingxi.

However, Lu Duo didn't understand, so he pretended to take a photo and asked his uncle: "Why are you taking action now?"

He thought that his uncle asked someone to take pictures of these things back then to wait for Gu Mingyan to release them after the wedding, so that the Gu family and the couple were in trouble and frustrated.

Facing his nephew's question, Gu Huaixiu just opened the newspaper and changed it to another page to continue reading.

Lu Duo curled his lips, patted the envelope in his palm, and went out to do business.
