Chapter 99
◎ It was Sunday, the sky was overcast, and there was no sign of the sun coming out. Bei Bitang sat at the dressing table...◎
It was Sunday, the sky was gloomy and there was no sign of the sun coming out. Bei Bitang sat in front of the dressing table, turned her head to look at the sky, and was in a surprisingly good mood.
Opening the wardrobe, Bei Bitang picked out a white dress with light green polka dots, tied her hair into two braids, sprayed some perfume on herself, and then went to her daughter's room to help her get dressed.
Her daughter was dressed in a white long shirt with a purple suspender pleated skirt, and her hair was tied into two buns. Bei Bitang looked left and right, thinking, how could her daughter be so beautiful and so perfect? She couldn't help but give her a big kiss on the face affectionately.
Anna was caught off guard and tickled, giggling.
The two of them ate a simple bowl of plain noodles at home, with a fried egg and a serving of vegetables, then walked out hand in hand and took the elevator downstairs.
While driving, Bei Bitang chatted with her daughter in the back seat about topics that interested her, making her very happy.
They soon arrived at the Shanghai Museum. Gu Wangxi stood in the large square outside, camera in hand.
Bei Bitang was slightly startled when she saw Gu Wangxi first walking quickly and then jogging.
He wasn't wearing glasses today, his hair was messy, and he was dressed casually, as if he was going to play golf.
When the father and daughter met for the first time, they looked at each other in surprise, their eyes fixed on each other.
Bei Bitang had no choice but to act as a middleman.
She shook her daughter in her arms and said softly, "Anna, this is the Uncle Gu I told you about."
After hearing this, Anna, contrary to her usual behavior, buried her head in Bei Bitang's neck and said nothing.
Gu Wangxi, who was stunned, moved stiffly, and helplessly took out a few brightly wrapped candies from his pocket, handed them to Anna, and said in a hoarse voice: "Anna, do you want some candy?"
Anna turned her head but didn't take the candy.
Bei Bitang looked at Gu Wangxi, who was wearing a forced smile, and sighed slightly in her heart. She said, "Feed me one."
"Ah" "Oh"
Gu Wangxi's reaction was dull, but he quickly tore open a candy and stuffed it into Bei Bitang's mouth.
Bei Bitang held the candy in her mouth and said vaguely, "Tear off another one and give it to me."
After hearing this, Gu Wangxi hurriedly did as he was told, tearing a hole in the box and handing it to Bei Bitang along with the wrapping paper.
Bei Bitang put the candy to her silent daughter's mouth and said softly, "It's delicious. Anna, have one too."
Hearing this, Anna opened her mouth and took the candy into her mouth.
Gu Wangxi stared at her closely to see her reaction, but Anna's face remained calm and she ate the candy without any expression.
Bei Bitang made small talk and asked, "Where did you buy these walnut candies?"
Gu Wangxi replied, "I brought it back from Hong Kong. If you like it, I still have some in stock and will send it all over to you."
Bei Bitang didn't answer. She looked down at Anna and asked with a smile, "Candy, Anna, do you want some more?"
Anna stared at Gu Wangxi with her beautiful and expressive eyes and whispered, "Thank you, uncle."
Gu Wangxi gave a fake smile and said, "You're welcome."
This sentence is very difficult to say.
Bei Bitang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she pinched her throat and jokingly said, "Anna, my dear, are you shy?"
Anna did not refute, but turned her neck coldly, not looking at Gu Wangxi, and whispered, "Mom, I don't want to go to the museum anymore."
Before Bei Bitang could say anything, Gu Wangxi, the new daughter slave, quickly said, "Okay, okay, Anna doesn't want to go to the museum, so let's not go!"
Bei Bitang was really convinced. With Gu Wangxi's current state, it was guaranteed that Anna would be able to control him in the future. However, Gu Wangxi should be very willing to do so.
Bei Bitang stroked her daughter's cheek with one hand, smiled softly and said, "Baby, there are things you've always wanted to see in the museum: big pink plates, lights that look like flower trees, and lots of beautiful clothes. They're all right at the door. Don't you really want to go in and see them?"
Although he didn't know why his daughter was so resistant to Gu Wangxi, he suddenly felt depressed, didn't want to play anymore, and looked like he wanted to go home.
But now is not the time to ask questions. If she asks, her daughter might start crying. If she doesn't ask, children's self-emotional regulation should not be underestimated. She might suddenly become happy later.
Anna hugged Bei Bitang's neck tightly, glanced at Gu Wangxi who was staring at her eagerly, then glanced at the dark entrance of the museum. She felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart. The uncle in front of her was more handsome than all the brothers and uncles who had appeared in front of her mother before.
She knew that her mother, like Anna, liked beautiful things, and this uncle might take her mother away.
Gu Wangxi felt sorry for himself. His daughter looked at him as if he were an enemy, and his future wife had no intention of becoming his girlfriend.
Anna's little face wrinkled and then relaxed. After thinking about it, she couldn't bear to give up playing.
She pursed her lips and said, "Mom, I want to go to the museum."
After saying that, she raised her chin, shrank back into Bei Bitang's arms, and looked at Gu Wangxi proudly, "Mom is mine!"
As soon as her daughter said she wanted to go to the museum, Bei Bitang looked at Gu Wangxi, meaning that he should hurry up and line up!
Although the museum had just opened, there were hundreds of people in front of Bei Bitang.
There are friends traveling from other places, student groups organized by schools, local parents who bring their children to experience culture, and museum enthusiasts...
The sun peeked out from behind the dark clouds, the sunlight became brighter and brighter, and the perceived temperature suddenly rose.
Bei Bitang looked down at her daughter's lips, which were a little dry. She looked up at Gu Wangxi and said, "Get the children's water bottle from your bag and give Anna some water."
This was said extremely naturally, as if a young couple took their child out to play and the wife directed her husband to take care of the child.
Gu Wangxi nodded quickly and said, "Okay."
Anna said awkwardly, "Mom, I want you to feed me."
Bei Bitang smiled and said in a negotiating tone, "Mom is tired of holding you. Can you save some energy?"
Anna said sullenly, "Okay then."
Bei Bitang was surrounded by her family of three. She smiled when she heard this and looked at her child. Sure enough, the child looked thirsty, so she coaxed the child to drink water.
Gu Wangxi was no novice in taking care of children. He looked like an attentive waiter as he fed water with one hand and placed his other hand under Anna's chin to collect the water. Bei Bitang turned her head away, it was really embarrassing to watch.
Anna looked up and shook her head to indicate that she had had enough.
Gu Wangxi didn't move the kettle away, but asked cautiously, "Don't you want to drink anymore?"
Anna pursed her lips and said nothing, looking at Bei Bitang, wanting her to answer.
Bei Bitang pretended not to notice Anna's call for help and looked around.
Anna had no choice but to say to Gu Wangxi in a soft voice: "I don't want to drink anymore."
Gu Wangxi moved the kettle away with great joy, covered it with the lid, and put it in his bag.
Gu Wangxi looked up at the glaring sun, opened his arms to Bei Bitang, and said, "Let me hold you."
Anna hugged Bei Bitang's neck tightly, then released it. She didn't want Gu Wangxi to hug her, but she also didn't want Bei Bitang to suffer.
Bei Bitang gently shook her head and said, "Not yet, there will be a time for you to hold me later."
When Gu Wangxi heard this, he didn't feel any pressure at all. Instead, he smiled happily.
After entering the museum, Gu Wangxi took out a brochure, opened it, and held it in front of Bei Bitang and Anna, saying, "Which hall do you want to visit first?"
Bei Bitang looked at Anna, meaning that she had the final say.
Anna was dazzled and her face was confused.
Bei Bitang had no choice but to say, "Start from the first floor and look at them one by one. If you can't finish them today, come back next time."
Anna immediately said, "Listen to mom."
Gu Wangxi raised his eyebrows, looked at Bei Bitang, smiled meaningfully and said, "I'll listen to you too."
Bei Bitang rolled her eyes at him.
The first section they visited was the Ceramics Museum. Anna was initially attracted by the yellow mud jars, but she was soon fascinated by them. They were covered with mysterious symbols and ancient colors.
Bei Bitang and Gu Wangxi switched positions, with him holding Anna while she read the instruction booklet.
"Turn around a little."
"A little closer."
"I'll look behind you."
"I want to see the red one over there."
"A little higher, I want to see the top."
"Squat down a little more."
…
Anna leaned close to Gu Wangxi's ear and kept telling him her request.
Gu Wangxi's forehead was covered with sweat. What Bei Bitang said was true. To see one thing, a child needs eight hundred movements and eight hundred perspectives.
He lifted Anna up, then moved her to a better position. His limbs, joints and whole body were moving. He had done countless sets of radio gymnastics.
But listening to his daughter's childish and playful words, and looking at her curious and lively big eyes, he would be willing to stay here for three days and three nights.
After visiting two museums, Bei Bitang estimated the time and it should be noon. She looked up at her watch and whispered to the father and daughter, "It's time for lunch."
Hearing this, Anna, who was in high spirits, was a little unhappy, but the next second she touched her belly, looked down at her belly, pouted and said, "Mom, I seem to be really hungry."
She was so adorable that Bei Bitang and Gu Wangxi stared at her, trying hard to suppress their laughter, and their faces twitched.
Gu Wangxi asked, "What does Anna want to eat?"
Anna frowned, thought for a moment, and replied softly, "I want to eat noodles, what about you, Mom?"
After a pause, she continued a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, what about you?"
Gu Wangxi blinked at Bei Bitang, chattering his teeth, and said silently with pride, "Look, my daughter asked me!"
Bei Bitang smiled and was happy for Gu Wangxi. She said, "Then let's go out and find a noodle shop."
I walked into a noodle restaurant near People's Square. It was a small shop with eight tables, and it was full of people.
After waiting for a long time, we finally found an empty seat and the three of us sat together.
Gu Wangxi said, "I just saw a fruit shop up ahead that has cut Nanhui watermelons for sale. You guys sit down first, I'll go buy some to quench your thirst."
The water brought from home has been drunk by three people.
Bei Bitang nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. What do you want to eat? I'll order it first."
Gu Wangxi said without hesitation: "Same as you."
Bei Bitang said calmly, "Order two different ones. Maybe Anna will want to try both."
Gu Wangxi laughed and said, "Then order more. I'll take care of the leftovers."
As the two talked back and forth, Anna nestled in Bei Bitang's arms, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.
A moment later, Gu Wangxi came back with three pieces of watermelon. He asked the noodle shop owner for a bowl, put the watermelon in the bowl, and placed it on the table where they were sitting.
The boss even smiled and jokingly said, "You really love your wife and children. Watermelon is more expensive than meat at this time."
Bei Bitang glanced at the watermelon and asked, "Is it hygienic?"
Gu Wangxi replied, "I watched the salesperson cut it fresh, and I washed the board and the fruit knife myself."
Bei Bitang smiled, said nothing, and continued to feed Anna the mushy noodles.
Gu Wangxi said, "Let me feed it."
Bei Bitang shook her head gently and said, “You eat first, you’ve been holding Anna for so long.”
Gu Wangxi looked at the people around him, moved closer, and said in a low voice: "Then you feed Anna, and I will feed you."
Bei Bitang blushed. This was nothing. She believed that people outside treated her, Anna and Gu Wangxi as a family of three. It was really ridiculous that Gu Wangxi had to act sneaky.
While Bei Bitang was still not reacting, Gu Wangxi picked up a large steak, put it to Bei Bitang's mouth, and said gently, "Come on, eat it."
Bei Bitang was stuck in a dilemma. Anna suddenly looked up at Bei Bitang and said innocently, "Mom, eat quickly. Anna still wants to see the big gem."
Bei Bitang lowered her head slightly, her ears red, and put the pork chop into her mouth.
Gu Wangxi ate while feeding Bei Bitang, and Bei Bitang fed her daughter.
All three of them have good looks, and customers who walk into the store will secretly look at them.
After lunch, I walked back to the museum and saw that it was closing time.
The three of them also had dinner together outside. After a day, Anna and Gu Wangxi became much closer.
When night fell and they drove home, Anna was already able to fall asleep peacefully in Gu Wangxi's arms.
Bei Bitang got out of the car, took the sleeping Anna from Gu Wangxi's hands, and whispered to Gu Wangxi, "Go back. I'll call you next time we meet."
Gu Wangxi spread his hands, shrugged, and said in a scoundrelly manner: "How can I go back?"
Bei Bitang glared slightly and said, "Take a taxi, or ask someone to pick you up."
Gu Wangxi shook his head and smiled, then said, "I'll drive your car back. I'll definitely return it to you before you go to work tomorrow morning."
This way I have a reason to send Bei Bitang to work.
After Gu Wangxi said this, how could Bei Bitang not understand his secret plan?
She didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Wangxi with a smile.
Just when Gu Wangxi couldn't hold on any longer and was about to say forget it, Bei Bitang smiled sweetly and suddenly said, "The key is in my pocket, take it yourself."
Gu Wangxi suddenly realized that if Bei Bitang wanted to flirt with him, it would be easy, it just depended on whether she wanted to or not.
Beijing.
Gu Wangxi's mind was on the land auction, and he bought two pieces of land that he had long been eyeing.
As he walked out of the lobby, Mr. Shen, who had been on the same flight with him, approached him and jokingly asked, "Mr. Gu only acquired two plots of commercial land this time? Are you planning to enter the field of large-scale integrated commercial buildings?"
This is an obvious thing. Gu Wangxi modestly smiled and congratulated and said: "Mr. Shen, it's good that he got the land this time."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "No, no, I came in too late. I'm satisfied just to have some soup!"
Then he invited, "Mr. Gu, I just bought a horse and keep it at the equestrian club outside Beijing. Why don't you come with me to see this new horse? I heard that Mr. Gu has an extraordinary ability to identify horses and wins nine out of ten times he bets."
Mr. Gu thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He had to stay in Beijing for another day, so he might as well go to the suburbs to breathe some fresh air. Beijing was becoming more and more crowded, and it would also prevent his so-called father from looking for him.
The two of them went to have a hot pot meal and then asked the driver to drive to the horse farm.
First, they went to the stables to see Mr. Shen's horse. They fed the horse for a while, and Gu Wangxi made some polite comments. Then they went to the viewing platform and watched the groups of people walking their horses on the racecourse.
The sound of Ma Chaotian's whistle suddenly rang out, and a tall black horse galloped into the professional arena next to it.
A tall and beautiful young woman wearing professional riding clothes was holding the reins and staring at the obstacle in front of her with sharp eyes.
The horses and the people became one, and they jumped over the railings one after another.
The railings were getting higher and higher, and suddenly the black horse's front hooves bent too much, as if it was about to dive to the ground.
Gu Wangxi's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but stand up and called out softly, "Shixin."
On the racecourse, Huo Shixin and her horse steadily crossed the obstacle.
Gu Wangxi twisted his neck and said to Mr. Shen who was enjoying the show, "Mr. Shen, I'm going to the lounge to have a cup of coffee. I'll excuse me for a moment."
Mr. Shen smiled like Maitreya Buddha, stood up, and said, "I'll go with you."
The lounge was filled with the aroma of coffee. The two of them sat on chairs near the outdoor lawn.
Mr. Shen shook the coffee in his hand, looked at Gu Wangxi and said, "Mr. Gu, I have someone here who I want to introduce you to."
Gu Wangxi lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, and remained silent.
Mr. Shen smiled awkwardly, then quickly regained his composure and said, "Mr. Gu, just treat it as making friends. More friends means more opportunities."
Gu Wangxi glanced at him with an unclear look in his eyes, and said in a light tone, "Has Mr. Shen's friend arrived?"
Mr. Shen quickly smiled and said, “It’s here, it’s almost here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Shixin, who had changed his clothes, came over gracefully. He bent down slightly and was about to hug Gu Wangxi's waist, saying coquettishly, "Brother Wangxi, long time no see. I missed you so much."
Gu Wangxi had a cold face. He reached out to pull her away and pushed her to another chair.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at Mr. Shen, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said, "Miss Huo, is this the person Mr. Shen wants to introduce to me?"
Mr. Shen smiled awkwardly at first, then clapped his hands and said happily, "So Mr. Gu and Miss Huo are old acquaintances. That's such a coincidence. There's no need for me to introduce them."
Huo Shixin's eyes never left Gu Wangxi. She kept trying to talk to him, but Gu Wangxi just drank his coffee with a calm expression.
Huo Shixin really wanted to snatch the coffee from Gu Wangxi's hand and throw it out!
Mr. Shen, with the idea of sending Buddha to the west, showed a gossipy look, pretending to be confused, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gu is a young talent. I wonder if he has a girlfriend? I remember that my distant niece is coming back from England soon. If Mr. Gu doesn't have a girlfriend, then I have to act as a matchmaker."
Gu Wangxi's silent and handsome face slowly revealed a gentle look, and he said with affection in his tone: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Shen, I have someone I like."
Huo Shixin's face suddenly turned pale.
Mr. Shen's face stiffened. He exhaled, waved his hand, and said, "People have urgent needs. I'm going to the bathroom, you two. You guys can chat first."
After saying that, Mr. Shen slipped away.
Huo Shixin looked at Gu Wangxi sadly and murmured, "Who is she?"
When did Gu Wangxi have a crush on someone? If that was true, wouldn't she be humiliating herself?
Gu Wangxi sighed, softened his tone, and said, "Shixin, you should be preparing for your engagement ceremony in Hong Kong and not coming here."
The Huo siblings were sent to study in the United States since they were young. Gu Wangxi first met Huo Shixun at school, and then naturally met his friend's sister, Huo Shixin.
From then on, Huo Shixin was the little tail behind the two of them. Every time school was on vacation, she would follow her brother to play with Gu Wangxi.
Even if Gu Wangxi and his team were to act independently, they would rather stay at Gu Wangxi's home in California than return to Hong Kong.
Time passed, and the girl's heart began to be moved. Gu Wangxi was so handsome, energetic, and outstanding, and so close to her, so it was natural for her to fall in love with Gu Wangxi.
Huo Shixin is not a shy person. After realizing that he likes Gu Wangxi, he immediately confessed his feelings to him.
However, Gu Wangxi only treated her as a half-sister, a little sister who needed care and attention, and did not regard her as a friend of the same age. How could there be any love between men and women?
Although he didn't have a rough outline of his favorite type, he knew very clearly that he didn't like Huo Shixin.
Gu Wangxi politely declined due to their friendship. Huo Shixin pursued him for two or three years, but he remained unmoved and could only leave in frustration.
Right now, Huo Shixin is getting engaged to a young man from Hong Kong. That young man is very elegant and his family is in the shipping business, so it can be considered a strong combination.
Not long ago, Huo Shixun came to him with a happy face to discuss what engagement gift to give to his sister.
Who knew that Huo Shixin would not order a dress and hold a party in Hong Kong, but come to Beijing to see him.
Gu Wangxi had a terrible headache, but he didn't show it on his face. He could only try to persuade Huo Shixin to give up with kind words.
Huo Shixin wiped the tears from her face, and with a hint of disbelief, she choked and asked, "Is this true? Are you lying to me?"
Gu Wangxi said firmly and clearly, "Shixin, you know my attitude towards love. It's true, I have someone I like and I'm pursuing her."
As soon as he said this, Huo Shixin cried even harder.
Gu Wangxi handed her a napkin and said softly, "I'll call your brother and ask him to pick you up and take you back to Hong Kong."
Huo Shixun arrived in Beijing late at night and went straight to the International Hotel.
As soon as he opened the door, the smell of alcohol filled the room. Huo Shixun reached out to turn on the light and saw Huo Shixin lying flat on the sofa, with her clothes and shoes on, a bottle of wine in her hand, her hair disheveled, like a drowned female ghost.
Huo Shixun felt both distressed and angry, shook his head and went to open the window.
He took the bottle of wine from Huo Shixin's hand, patted her face gently, and said, "Look at what you look like now. Aren't you afraid of alcohol poisoning and being sent to the hospital, and making a big deal out of this!"
Huo Shixin sat up suddenly, frowned and said, "I didn't drink much."
Huo Shixun brushed the hair away from her face. Seeing that her eyes were clear and her face was normal, he became even angrier. He pointed at the scattered wine bottles on the ground and said, "You didn't drink, so why are you so angry?"
Huo Shixin shouted, "Are you still my brother? Your sister is heartbroken, and you're accusing me of being ill-mannered? Don't worry, I'll give the cleaning lady a big tip tomorrow!"
Huo Shixun snorted coldly, half squatted, and picked up the bottles in front of the sofa to prevent his sister from stepping on them, but said sarcastically, "No wonder Wang Xi doesn't like you."
Huo Shixin's throat choked and tears immediately fell. She hit Huo Shixun while crying and yelled, "I'm heartbroken, and you still say this to me!"
Huo Shixun didn't hide and let her hit him. He said unhappily, "Broken heart? Have you ever been in love with Wang Xi?"
Huo Shixin immediately said angrily: "Secret love is also love! Is that not okay?!"
Huo Shixun nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Okay, okay."
He sat on the sofa, held Huo Shixin in his arms, and let her vent her emotions without saying a word.
"What's wrong with me? Why can't he like me?"
"I've been chasing him for two whole years. He's even let go of his dignity and status and wouldn't even let me be his short-term girlfriend! It's so annoying!"
…
The crying gradually subsided, and the accusations became weaker. The clock on the wall ticked, and Huo Shixin buried her head in Huo Shixun's shoulder and closed her eyes. It seemed that she had cried enough and fell asleep.
Huo Shixun said, "I'll carry you to the bedroom to sleep."
Huo Shixin didn't open her eyes, but shook her head. After a moment of silence, she asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother, who does he like?"
Huo Shixun certainly knew who Gu Wangxi liked. Gu Wangxi was so lucky that he even had a daughter. But he couldn't tell Huo Shixun and cause trouble.
Huo Shixin opened his eyes, stared at Huo Shixun, and begged, "Brother, just tell me, so I can give up completely."
"elder brother……"
Huo Shixin took Huo Shixun's hand, shook it gently, and spoke coquettishly with a long tone.
Huo Shixun turned his head away and shook his head, saying, "No, what if you come to my house? Wang Xi will break up with me."
Huo Shixin smiled sadly and said wryly: "It seems that he really likes it."
She sniffed, glared at Huo Shixun, and said angrily: "When have I ever attacked the opposite sex who appeared around Gu Wangxi? Am I, your sister, the kind of person who is crazy?!"
Huo Shixun hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, and then you'll come back to Hong Kong with me tomorrow. Until your feelings for Wangxi fade away, you can't look for him alone."
Huo Shixin nodded.
Then, Huo Shixun briefly talked about Bei Bitang's personal situation, but in order to avoid trouble, Huo Shixun did not mention the previous entanglement between Gu Wangxi and her.
After Huo Shixin finished listening, he jumped off the sofa and walked towards the bathroom, saying, "Brother, please buy me a plane ticket to Shanghai tomorrow."
Huo Shixun stood up suddenly and said angrily: "What are you doing in Shanghai?!"
Without even turning his head, Huo Shixin said softly, "Let's go see the real person."
Hearing that Huo Shixin was going to see Bei Bitang, Huo Shixun became anxious and said quickly: "You just promised to go home with me."
Huo Shixin waved his hand and said, "My neck was just tired, so I just wanted to loosen it up. That's why I didn't agree to go home with you."
Huo Shixun sighed deeply and walked back and forth with his hands on his hips.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, he was afraid that Huo Shixin would cause trouble if he just left it alone, so he had to make a phone call and book two tickets to Shanghai.
Three days later, in a club somewhere in Shanghai.
Bei Bitang raised her hands and hugged the shawl on her body. The air conditioning in the room was really too strong.
She stepped out of the crowd and looked around calmly, trying to find a place away from the air conditioner.
With a casual glance, I met the eyes of a woman five meters away.
The woman looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing a heavily embroidered black and purple gauze dress with a rather large hem. She had black hair and red lips. She was a very beautiful woman with a very Hong Kong style.
Bei Bitang wanted to look away, but the beauty raised the champagne in her hand and smiled at her. Bei Bitang couldn't help but smile as well.
Bei Bitang thought that the incident would be over after she exchanged friendly smiles across the crowd, but the next second, she saw the lady slowly walking towards her.
"Hello, my name is Huo Shixin."
Huo Shixin extended his hand towards Bei Bitang with a kind smile.
She stayed in Shanghai for several days before she got the chance to meet Bei Bitang.
Bei Bitang smiled and shook her hand, "Bei Bitang."
She had never seen this unfamiliar face before, so Huo Shixin must be new to this social circle.
Huo Shixin glanced at the thin shawl on Bei Bitang, handed the champagne to the waiter, and said with a smile: "Why don't we dance together?"
Bei Bitang thought for a few seconds and decided that dancing with Huo Shixin would help her avoid the men who came to chat with her.
Bei Bitang nodded and said, "Okay, do you want to dance the male or female steps?"
Huo Shixin frowned slightly, pretended to think for a moment, and said distressedly, "Let's take turns."
This way, she would have to dance at least twice, and she would have more time to chat with Bei Bitang.
Bei Bitang smiled silently, palm facing up, and stretched out a hand towards Huo Shixin.
Two equally beautiful, tall ladies slowly slid onto the dance floor. To the soothing music, they danced and chatted. They talked about opera, museums, and their favorite writers...
After a few songs, Bei Bitang felt that she and this new acquaintance, Miss Huo, had a very good relationship.
In recent years, she has become much more outgoing than before, but she rarely takes the initiative to make friends. With Huo Shixin, she rarely has the idea of making friends.
Huo Shixin sighed and said to Bei Bitang, "I should go now. My brother is waiting for me outside. He must be getting anxious."
Bei Bitang said gently, "Perhaps we should exchange phone numbers and go out on a date sometime."
Huo Shixin smiled cleverly, shook his head gently, and said, "That's not the case. I believe in Buddhism a little bit. If we are destined to be together, we will definitely meet again."
After a pause, she winked playfully, leaned close to Bei Bitang and whispered in her ear, "I believe we are destined to be together, and we will definitely meet again."
After saying that, Huo Shixin waved goodbye, picked up her skirt, and left quietly.
Before leaving, Huo Shixin gave Bei Bitang a quirky impression, which made Bei Bitang feel even more regretful for not making friends with her right away.
After taking a shower, Gu Wangxi got into bed, glanced at the phone on the bedside table, and sighed slightly. He knew that at this time, Bei Bitang would not call today, so the anticipation for today could be over.
He picked up the book beside him, turned to the page where the bookmark was placed, and began to read.
The phone rang unexpectedly. Gu Wangxi frowned when he was interrupted, but relaxed the next second.
With a hint of joy on his face, he reached out and picked up the phone. When he saw who was calling, his brows frowned again.
After answering the phone, Gu Wangxi said in a deep voice: "It's me."
Huo Shixin said with a smile: "I thought Brother Wangxi wouldn't answer my call."
Although Huo Shixin rarely comes to the mainland, for her, preparing a phone card is something her life assistant must do in advance.
Gu Wangxi's voice deepened as he said, "Don't say that, Shixin. The friendship we had when we were young was not fake."
Huo Shixin was silent for a moment, then took a breath and said, "My brother has convinced me this time, and I've also come to my senses. I won't miss you anymore. I'll go back and get along well with my fiancé. If he treats me well, I'll treat him well too. If he's loyal to the marriage, I'll be loyal to him too."
Whether it was friendship or love, Gu Wangxi took it so seriously that he wouldn't tolerate any desecration. She, on the other hand, kept saying she loved Gu Wangxi and wouldn't marry anyone but him. But she couldn't resist having two boyfriends, and she couldn't honestly say those two relationships weren't filled with joy.
She met Bei Bitang tonight, which once again proved that her love for Gu Wangxi for many years was worth it, because the person Gu Wangxi liked was so outstanding.
Gu Wangxi was speechless for a while before he said, "That young master has a good reputation."
Huo Shixin smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise I would have chosen him. Next year I hope you can come to my wedding with the person you like as boyfriend and girlfriend."
Hearing Huo Shixin's tone, Gu Wangxi knew that she had completely let go of this girlish worry. He felt relieved and said in a half-brotherly tone, "It's too late to get engaged. I will definitely marry you when you get married. What engagement gift do you want?"
Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, he was planning to just give a generous gift, but now that they had talked it out, not only did he have to attend Huo Shixin's engagement ceremony, he also had to prepare a gift.
Huo Shixin teased, "Gu Wangxi, are you so confident?"
