"This dessert is good, you should try it."

Gou An's mind was confused as he ate the following breakfast.

In order to express her apology, Zhou Yutong sent the photo that she was going to use to extort one million yuan to Gou An and asked her to send it to He Jinxing. While sending the photo, she complained that if she had known that she could not hold back her chatter, she would not have come down to have breakfast. This breakfast was so expensive.

Gou An looked at the photo and saved it for himself, but of course he didn't plan to send it to He Jinxing.

Who knew that just as I put down my phone, WeChat came in.

【HJX: What photos? 】

Gou An: “…”

I turned around and glanced at a table behind me. He was clearly still chatting and laughing with someone, and he didn't even glance at me for a second. Did he install surveillance cameras?

Gou An sent the photo reluctantly, and then rubbed his ears which felt a little hot. He couldn't help but glance over there, because he unconsciously wanted to see his reaction when he saw the photo.

The man quickly picked up the phone, took a look at it, and smiled.

He typed two words, put down his phone, and then naturally continued the conversation he had just had with the other people at the table.

Gou An’s phone lit up.

【HJX: Can I post it on WeChat Moments? 】

【Don’t be afraid, I can win: ??? ??? ??? No way!!! ??? 】

【HJX: He Yuan can make it. 】

[Don't be afraid, I can win: He posted it without asking me, and I can't let him delete it. ]

【HJX:? 】

The man looked quite speechless and put down his phone.

Before breakfast ended, Zhou Yutong stuffed a strawberry into Gou An's mouth and said, "Try whether the strawberry is sweet or not!"

With his mouth full of the sweetness of strawberries, Gou An returned to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed for a while and then took a nap. Unexpectedly, he had a dream during this sleep.

In the dream, she was holding someone’s hand and walking forward, muttering, “Go, go, go, riding a horse is so boring, let’s go pick blueberries.” The person behind her followed reluctantly, and she turned around and scolded him, “What’s wrong, you wooden thing, are you still reluctant to stay with me!”

When she turned around, she found that the person holding her hand had changed from the bodyguard with an expressionless face to another person, and he was looking at her with a smile.

The person lying on the bed was so frightened that he opened his eyes.

She jumped up from the bed, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her hand, and blinked in disbelief.

A few days later.

Learning to ride a horse was not put on the agenda so quickly, because the horse that Gou Yu promised Gou An to buy for her could not be selected so quickly -

The main thing is that Gou An himself is wavering as to whether it is better to get a ready-made horse to use immediately, or to get a foal and cultivate feelings with it from an early age, taking the risk that it might grow crooked.

"It's not that easy for it to grow crooked. That fat cat didn't look very good when it grew up, and you still disliked it."

The reason why Gou Yu spoke so casually might be because he didn't know that what he said was heard by the cat in question, and now the cat, who could speak human language, cursed in a rather unpleasant way.

Soon Gou An saw the consequences of offending the system -

Although this system should not have such great authority, Gou Yu still suffered retribution for speaking rudely to a kitten.

It was a perfectly normal social occasion.

It was already early December, and it was time for Mr. He's birthday. According to Jiangcheng customs, elderly people cannot celebrate their first birthday after they turn 70, so Mr. He's 74th birthday party this year must be a grand occasion.

The birthday banquet was held at the Gou family's five-star hotel's cooperative restaurant. The attitude of the two families towards cooperation was ambiguous enough to make some people smell the wind -

Combined with the coming-of-age ceremony banquet a few days ago, the He family not only had He Yuan, a younger generation born in the He family, but even He Jinxing personally danced with the daughter of the Gou family. It seems that the He family is ready to follow through on this marriage.

So when Gou An got out of the family car holding her mother's hand, she noticed that more eyes seemed to be looking at her today than usual.

She didn't understand what was happening either.

They noticed that the He family's display today was really grand. When they arrived, there was another Rolls-Royce with a foreign license plate parked at the door. It was a black car. The door opened and the person who got out of the car was Hou Xiangqin, who was also dressed up carefully. Next to her was a middle-aged man with a rather elegant look, who should be her father, Hou Yuning.

After their last chance encounter at the stable, Gou An had a good impression of this lively and quiet Miss Hou. He pulled Jiang Yuan's hand and leaned close to her ear to ask, "Why are the people from the Hou family here too?"

Jiang Yuan patted the back of his daughter's hand and said in a tone of "You have made great progress": "You even know people from the Hou family."

Today is Friday, Gou Xun is still on his way home from school. At this time, only the family of three has arrived. Gou Yu is standing on the other side of his daughter. Hearing this, he explained: "The He family and the Hou family are cooperating. He Jinxing went abroad some time ago to grab some land and get support for the Hou family. I'm afraid the Hou family will come to Jiangcheng often in the future."

After a pause, he continued, "Hou Xiangqin and He Jinxing seem to be quite close in age. I saw them walking together at the manor a few days ago. Could it be that—"

Jiang Yuan: "It's impossible if we walk together. Mr. He even held the horse for your daughter for a while."

He Jinxing did not hide the fact that he was holding Gou An's horse, and it soon became known to everyone. The consequence was only to raise Gou An's status in the social circle. She didn't think there was anything worth denying.

So now he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, I heard that Miss Hou has someone else she likes."

Gou Yu was speechless at his daughter's natural response. He was depressed for a long time and complained when he went upstairs, "At least you can refute your mother."

"What's the objection?"

"She teased you and He Jinxing!"

"Think about which subject, predicate, or object in your sentence has anything to do with you." Gou An patted his father's shoulder, "What are you so excited about?"

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the second floor of the restaurant.

Gou Yu still gave the He family a very grand celebration. A red carpet was laid all the way from the entrance to the second floor. There was also a large dessert table on the second floor. The dessert table, which was dominated by bright red, was filled with all kinds of Chinese candies and French desserts. Many children had already gathered around and looked at them eagerly.

But everyone knows the rules. At most they will take a lollipop, and no one will touch it before the banquet starts.

At this time, at the door of the second floor, stood the uncles of the He family——

Probably because it was the old man’s birthday, all the uncles of the He family came.

Although He Jinxing is the current head of the He family, he is the youngest in terms of ranking, so he stands at the end of the line. With his brothers serving as the front of the line to greet guests and greet them, he is happy to take some time off today. He is not wearing a suit and tie like he usually does at work or in formal business occasions. He is wearing a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, a denim jacket on the outside, and a pair of limited edition sneakers on his feet.

Gou An almost didn't recognize him at first glance.

Looking at the items on the man at this time, at first glance, you can't tell what they are, but the low-key small brand characteristics show that these are all trendy brands plus trendy brand joint models...

He was right, the old man did flip through fashion magazines occasionally.

Gou An followed his parents and uncles in greeting one by one, but felt a little awkward when he was in front of He Jinxing.

The man put his hands in his pockets, bent towards her and moved closer. His smiling eyes made her feel a little familiar again.

"Call someone."

He spoke in a low, magnetic voice and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile.

Gou An pursed his lips and called out in a muffled voice, "Uncle."

He Jinxing had just responded when his eyes swept over Grandpa He who was not far away. The old man had obviously heard their conversation and gave his youngest son an extremely sarcastic expression.

He Jinxing: “…”

He Jinxing: "I suddenly feel that calling me uncle makes me sound old."

Gou An: “?”

He Jinxing: "Just call me by my name from now on."

Gou An: “????”

A huge question mark popped up in his head. Fortunately, Gou An now has a spokesperson. Gou Yu picked up his confused daughter and said expressionlessly: "What do you think? If she calls you by your name, isn't it confusing the generations? If she calls you by your name, what should I call you, Ajinzi?"

"It's all right," He Jinxing raised the corners of his lips, "as long as you are happy."

Gou Yu looked at him and held back a word "you're crazy", rolled his eyes, pushed Gou An away, and went to celebrate the birthday with Grandpa He.

After the birthday celebration, the younger generations all sat at a remote table. Gou An looked all over the world for her daughter, but Zhou Yutong told her that she was in the bathroom.

The restroom was a little far away, and Gou An searched for a while, but got lost on the way. Then, according to the law that if you get lost you will definitely discover some affair, she met Hou Xiangqin and Chen Jinli hugging each other in a somewhat hidden corridor.

To be precise, Chen Jinli completely changed from his usual gentlemanly appearance to a gentlemanly villain. He leaned against the wall with his eyes lowered, allowing the woman in front of him to push him against the wall.

With her other hand holding his tie, she slightly tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

Chen Jinli didn't dodge.

Gou An's eyes widened as she watched, and for a few seconds she even forgot that she should politely walk away, until a cold hand in the darkness grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the shadows.

She looked carefully and saw Zhou Yutong with an expressionless face.

The girl, who was going to take the college entrance exam next year, had red eyes at this moment. She gestured to her to keep quiet, dragged Gou An out, and said after a long while, "Don't ask anything."

Gou An raised his head and touched her head, then thought for a moment and said, "How about we go take a look at the pure male high school again?"

Zhou Yutong really listens to advice.

When they returned to their table, a little boy in a school uniform greeted Zhou Yutong.

The boy had a buzz cut. It was obvious that today's high school students were overnourished. When he stood up, the shadow he cast almost covered both Zhou Yutong and Gou An. He threw Zhou Yutong's phone back to her and said, "You took so long to go to the bathroom."

The phone with a bunch of fancy accessories on it made a sound of accessories colliding. Zhou Yutong answered the phone and said with a smile, "Thank you."

The boy felt something was wrong with her voice, looked down at her, frowned, and came over to ask, "Have you cried? What's wrong with you?"

It's the voice of a real male who is still in the voice changing period, a little hoarse, not particularly nice to hear.

"Why am I crying on such a good day? I was just rubbing my eyes just now—"

"I saw Chen Jinli and Hou Xiangqin together."

"Men with too many problems are not popular."

Zhou Yutong dismissed him with a few words and leaned towards Gou An. Gou An approached her and asked, "Is the fact that you like your uncle known to the whole world?"

"Childhood sweethearts."

"It's okay. It looks like I'm interested in you."

Zhou Yutong rolled her eyes, "No, I hate him. Change him."

At this time, He Ran and Zhou Yanji walked in side by side through the door on the second floor. She rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you think of these two?"

"Bad fish and good people."

"Take the nice guy card for my brother."

While the two men were discussing within their sight, He Yuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and talked to his father for a few words. The slightly curved corners of his lips were exactly the same as his uncle's.

"What about this?"

"Shangjia. But I don't think you can handle it. I don't know why I feel that He Yuan is like a young version of He Jinxing. So scary."

The two of them were talking to each other in a very uncivilized manner, and were having a good time when suddenly a voice rang out beside them -

"This dessert is good, you should try it."

Gou An was immersed in studying how He Yuan looked like He Jinxing. When he heard the voice, he subconsciously turned his head and saw a nut tower right next to his mouth. He reflexively stretched his neck and opened his mouth to take it.

His lips accidentally brushed against the other's calloused fingertips.

I smelled the familiar faint smell of blood.

While chewing the nut tower, she was stunned for a moment and looked up, only to see He Jinxing himself standing next to her.
