The location was at the He family’s manor, and it was the birthday party for Jiang family’s young master Jiang Yi.

Zhou Yutong pointed at a handsome man in a high-end suit not far away, surrounded by Jiangcheng celebrities, and said to Gou An, "Did you see that? Jiangcheng's new favorite... The Jiang family has two happy events. In addition to Jiang Yi's birthday, Master Jiang Jiu also has a new son - wow, wow, wow, wow, you didn't expect it, it's a turn of events, the guy who was your family's bodyguard back then can now have this day."

Following Zhou Yutong's hand, Gou An unscrupulously sized up Jiang Jiuye's godson—

Ye Lang was born with good looks, with delicate skin and tender flesh that all the members of the Rich Girls Group liked to talk about. Everyone envied his natural good skin, his fair complexion that never got tanned no matter how much he was exposed to the sun, and his unusually delicate facial features...

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and today, wearing elegant clothes again, I really exude the aura of a noble young master from the inside out.

It looks more like the real thing than He Ran and the others.

The wild dogs of that day had not been seen for half a decade, and they are no longer the same as before.

She was sighing in her heart as if she was watching a commotion. At this moment, Ye Lang's gaze happened to look over at her from across the crowd.

The two people's eyes met in the air. Ye Lang paused, but did not react too much. His eyes slid away and fell on the finger that Zhou Yutong was pointing at him in the side.

It was as if several knives flew in the air. Zhou Yutong, who was enthusiastically gossiping with Gou An, choked up for a moment. Three seconds later, she silently retracted her fingers.

She muttered softly: "Looking at this aura, I think he is more like Master Jiang Jiu's biological son."

In the past, Jiang Yi was calling for war and killing for Ye Lang's matter, causing Ye Weiyang to die. How come in less than half a year, they became brothers eating at the same table again?

Gou An was not without curiosity, so he asked, "What's going on?"

Then Gou An heard a legendary and wonderful life segment that could be made into a movie if it was pulled out alone -

It was probably on the day when Ye Lang disappeared and reappeared in Jiangcheng that this "public enemy" of the Jiang family, who had once publicly bid a price for him, openly showed up at the place of the third young master of the Jiang family (the same place he had smashed up before), and demanded to see the patriarch of the Jiang family, Master Jiang Jiu.

Jiu Ye is old and has retired long ago. What's more, with his status, how could he be someone that Ye Lang could meet just by asking? So Ye Gou was decisively rejected.

After being rejected, Ye Lang went straight into the casino without saying a word.

Then, in less than two hours, he used the 30,000 yuan in his pocket to cash out 1.5 million yuan.

The entire casino was shocked. In the end, no one played anymore. They followed Ye Lang from table to table, watching him change tables and play all over the casino like a cat.

Needless to say, when it comes to Texas Hold'em, Jiang Yi finally narrowed his eyes and asked someone to check his horoscope. Changing to a dealer with a zodiac sign that was incompatible with his own will did not work, as he always had good cards. When playing mahjong, everyone in the world can win 28 points by themselves. When sitting on a slot machine, pulling the lever will create the next miracle...

Then one and a half million became three million, and Ye Lang took another two hours.

It was only then that people realized that the last time Ye Lang took Hong Jiuye's one million in exchange for four million, Jiang Yi and his men thought it was a show of deception, so he was indeed showing mercy.

In a profitable underground casino like this, it is usually difficult to get away with all the money if you become too successful.

So it was very reasonable for Jiang Yi to find a group of people to deal with Ye Lang...

As a result, those useless guys were arranged by Ye Lang, and they were fought all the way from the first floor to the third floor. Finally, among the corpses all over the ground, Ye Lang threw away the chips worth three million in his hand, saying that he didn't want them anymore and only wanted to see Master Jiang Jiu.

Master Jiang Jiu finally met such an interesting young man, and no one knew what the two discussed, but when Ye Lang came out of the lounge on the third floor, Jiang Yi already had a younger brother.

In the end, the three million chips that Ye Lang used as a stepping stone and completely disdained were all exchanged for US dollars and packed into boxes for him to take away under the pretext of "recognition red envelopes." When Ye Lang came, he took the subway, and when he left, he took Jiang Yi's Audi A8.

above.

Finished.

After Gou An heard the synopsis of the movie "God of Gamblers: The Second Coming", his mind went blank for a few seconds, and he asked the same soul-searching question as many people: "Why did he come to our house to be a bodyguard in the first place?"

The Wild Dog Emperor's Secret Visit? Or is he using Gou's house as a base to recall the bitter past and think of the sweet past? "I don't know," Zhou Yutong sighed, "I heard that his mother doesn't let him go to the casino. Isn't that a little cute?"

“…”

Just when Gou An was speechless, their conversation was interrupted by the concise four words "the filter is too thick". They both turned around and found a group of people standing behind them.

I don't know when He Jinxing came over, and with him were today's birthday boy Jiang Yi, Chen Jinli and Gou Yu. When Zhou Yutong saw Chen Jinli, she automatically became silent and closed her mouth like a quail.

He Jinxing refused to let her go: "Miss Zhou, you are so kind to introduce another man's glorious history to my fiancée. Does that mean you have ulterior motives?"

It is a “kindness” for sure, but there is no ill intention behind it.

From He Jinxing's tone it seemed that he was not really angry, Zhou Yutong smiled at him awkwardly.

Her guess was correct. This was just a small matter, but it was not enough to make Mr. He unhappy. He turned to his fiancée again, his smiling eyes looking tolerant and gentle.

This would easily make Gou An feel guilty, so he quickly waved his hand and said firmly, "I just took a look."

He Jinxing's smile became more obvious, and Gou Yu next to him sighed in disappointment.

He Jinxing didn't bother to pay attention to him. He took his fiancee's hand and held it in his palm. He turned it over and kneaded it as if he was playing with a beloved object. Finally, he rubbed the base of her empty middle finger, paused, and asked, "Where's the ring?"

The question was about their engagement rings.

Knowing that we were going to the manor today, Gou An wore a sweater and jeans for the convenience of playing. His long black curly hair was tied into a ponytail. This outfit didn't match the ring at all.

She was about to explain, but was interrupted by her father who loved to trick people.

"Who told you that you have to wear your engagement ring every day? Why are you asking so many questions?" After getting his revenge, it's hard to say that the father wasn't very happy. "If you don't wear it, it means you don't like it."

He Jinxing ignored him, but was obviously a little shaken.

He admitted that Ye Lang, who had changed his identity today, appeared dazzling and aggressive enough. From the time Gou An appeared in this banquet hall to now, a total of one and a half hours had passed. This upstart of Jiangcheng had only spoken three sentences to others, but had looked at her more than thirty times.

He probably thought his gaze was hidden—

It is indeed hidden, but it cannot escape He Jinxing's eyes.

After finally making eye contact with Miss Gou just now, He Jinxing felt that he could no longer let this upstart of Jiangcheng go on like this, as his eyes weren't as cold even when he looked at others.

Taking the initiative to come over and talk to Gou An was like an animal marking its territory. Mr. He had never done such behavior before, and he still felt that it was against his character...

As a result, Gou Yu added fuel to the fire.

He drooped his long eyelashes, and although he didn't say anything, Gou An could tell from the man's slightly pursed lips that he was really a little unhappy now.

Even the strength that was originally holding her hand loosened. The man seemed a little unsure of where to look. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and turned his head away.

After a pause, he said calmly: "Is that so... you don't like it?"

Seeing this, Gou An had no way of taking his eyes off his face.

She raised her hand, and under the silent gaze of the people around her, she pinched the man's chin with two fingers and turned his face back.

Then she let go of him, and expressionlessly hooked one finger around the silver chain around her neck, and gently lifted it up. Along with the silver chain, a diamond ring with a special shape and emerald gemstones appeared in people's eyes.

He Jinxing fell silent, his eyes slightly fixed.

"Is this all right?"

Gou An stuffed the ring back into his collar and turned to Gou Yu, "Dad, can you please stop adding fuel to the fire? What good will it do you to add another pair to my failed engagement experience?"

Gou Yu was so accused that he was speechless.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the matter of "He Jinxing being pinched by the chin by a little girl in public", the latter seemed to come to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Gou Yu lazily——

The little emotion from the last second was swept away, and the corners of the man's lips returned to their original arc: "Yeah, Dad, don't add fuel to the fire."

Everyone: “…”

Gou An, who was just bending down to adjust the position of the diamond ring for fear that it would snag on his clothes, paused and looked up blankly.

Gou Yu: “…”

Gou Yu asked He Jinxing: "What did you just say?"

He Jinxing glanced at him again: "I told you not to add fuel to the fire."

Gou Yu moved his lips and was about to say something when he heard the man add slowly, "Dad."

Gou Yu: “…………”

After a brief silence, Jiang Yi, who was hanging on He Jinxing's shoulder, laughed out loud first. He raised his hand and patted Gou Yu's chest, whose face had turned from pale to blue and had the expression "want to commit suicide" written all over his face.

The third son of the Jiang family was overjoyed and declared that he had been waiting for this day since the engagement party. Sure enough, he was not disappointed and the show was really great.

Gou An was just getting into horse riding and after staying in the banquet hall for a while, he couldn't help but want to grab his friends to go play with horses.

She hadn't decided on her own horse yet, mainly because the resources Gou Yu had found were sneered at by her future son-in-law. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and quit, asking He Jinxing to find one, and she was prepared not to pay him a penny.

The excuse is: If he likes to meddle in other people's business so much, let him do it to the end.

So Gou An still rides He Jinxing's carrot, a horse that is a replica of its owner's temperament with an extra-large version. Every time Gou An is carried, the horse behaves as if it knows her butt, and takes small steps with frustration and elegance.

There is no need for He Jinxing to pull it anymore, as it can take good care of the person on horseback by itself.

Before riding, Gou An would stuff Carrots with apples or pears that He Jinxing was not allowed to eat too much, and He Jinxing turned a blind eye to it, even though before this, he was the kind of person who would frown when sisters-in-law at home secretly gave their nephews extra pocket money.

Gou An was standing by the stable, wearing gloves and carrying a small bucket, stuffing a juicy pear into Carrot's mouth. Over there, someone came in leading a horse.

The first thing Gou An saw when he looked up was the white horse. It was slender and agile, shiny and smooth, without a trace of dirt. For a white horse to be so clean, it meant that it was well taken care of.

She had never seen this horse before.

Until it was brought over and someone opened the door of the stable next door, Carrot stuck his head over and snorted, spraying juicy saliva all over the place, which was very unfriendly.

Gou An, who was extremely protective of his own shortcomings, used a light and flirtatious "No" as a symbolic stop, pinched the horse's ears as a punishment, and turned to the owner of the white horse and said calmly, "I'm sorry."

He changed out of his suit and put on casual clothes. He rolled up his sleeves, took the tools from the side, and prepared to clean and tidy up the white horse that had just returned from a walk.

Gou An stuffed another pear into Carrot's mouth and stared at the black horse who was eating the pear with a crunching sound, very seriously.

Maybe it was eating the carrots too happily, it was smacking its lips. The white horse next to it curiously stretched its head to take a look, its amber eyes full of curiosity.

In fact, Gou An kind of wanted to touch it.

Ye Lang paused while brushing the horse's mane and poked his face out from behind the horse, "Want to touch it?"

Gou An showed an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating, and he added, "You can touch it."

Doesn't bite.

He swallowed these words back into his stomach.

Ye Lang was not a talkative person. As the half-protagonist besides Jiang Yi today, he was chased and blocked all day. He finally found a reason to go out for a walk. As a result, he just walked around the lake with his horse when he turned around and saw Gou An carrying a big bucket of fruit into the stable.

For some unknown reason, he followed in.

It was tiring enough to just barely deal with those people. He had hardly taken the initiative to talk to anyone all day, and this was the first time.

Seeing that Gou An's hand was clearly on the black horse and he was eager to reach out, but finally he shook his head in restraint. Ye Lang's eyes flickered, and then became too dim.

He went around behind the white horse to fix its tail.

From his direction, he could see Gou An still standing in the next stable, but he just glanced at her and didn't know how to take the initiative to continue talking to her -

Want to talk to her.

But in his memory, when the two of them were together, whether they were finding fault or just chatting about nothing, most of the time it was Gou An who was talking, and he would listen, responding with a monosyllable from time to time, and she would continue talking on her own.

Now that she didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

While tidying up the horse's mane, Ye Lang thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the last time he was a bodyguard in her house at the manor. He was abandoned by her because he couldn't ride a horse. He came back and was not convinced and stayed up late at night to search for information on his own...

He might really be someone who is a little bit obsessed with himself.

In fact, he didn't ask for a penny from the Jiang family. He recognized Jiang Jiuye as his godfather just to use his connections to do things. Now he has more social events and can't go to the venue to exchange money as unscrupulously as before, so he is still very tight on money. He didn't become rich overnight as everyone imagined.

But he still took part of the money and bought a not-so-expensive horse, the one in front of him. It didn't have a noble pedigree and didn't have any racing experience, but he took good care of it.

Raising his hand to fiddle with the white horse's long eyelashes, Ye Lang suddenly found a topic. His pretty face paused, then he pursed his lips and turned to the little girl standing in front of the next stable: "How should the upper body be positioned when you are pregnant?"

Gou An was not able to react to the sudden emergence of special terms in equestrian riding.

Youlihuai actually refers to a right turn with the center of the circle facing right, just like riding a bike. Many people always find it more difficult to turn right than to turn left.

Gou An blinked and was about to answer, but at this moment, a slow voice came from the door next to her and answered for her -

"Lean your body with the horse, don't step too hard in the stirrups, keep your core tight, relax your upper body, and press down slightly..."

A man in jeans, a white T-shirt and only a black down jacket walked in slowly. His hair was a little messy due to the wind, which made him look a little younger and lost the serious atmosphere in the banquet hall.

Recently, the wound on He Jinxing's back has been scarring and it itches all the time. He is not happy to wear slim-fitting suits and wears loose casual clothes every day. Of course, this man is a natural clothes hanger and looks good in anything, so no one dares to say that there is something wrong with his clothes.

At this time, the man took off his down jacket, patted it and let it hang casually on his elbow, and stood beside Gou An.

He Jinxing looked at Ye Lang with a smile.

"An An learned her riding posture from me. If you ask her to speak, she might say a lot of hidden things."

The tone is persuasive enough.

"What if Alang really learns this? It would be bad if people found out that he rides like me, right?"

There were several meters between the two men, and they were silent for a moment. When Gou An felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more weird and even wanted to ask He Jinxing, the old rogue, why he teased Ye Lang, the latter raised his eyes, said "Oh" with a wooden face, and threw the brush back into the bucket.

After washing his hands under the tap, he turned and left.

Gou An and He Jinxing were the only two people left in front of the stable. He Jinxing drove the angry man away and even said something taunting: "You can't even bear to say goodbye. Wild dogs are just rude."

Gou An threw the bucket in his hand.

He raised his head and stared at the man in front of him.

He Jinxing hummed, looked at her, and then turned away.

"How did you know he was here?"

"That, we have a telepathic connection..."

"He Jinxing."

"...You haven't been back for too long. I wanted to see how much prohibited food you stuffed into this goldfish horse to trouble the nutritionist's subsequent work, so I checked the surveillance."

The voice paused and added consciously.

"There won't be a next time."

Gou An bent down to pick up the bucket he had just thrown away and put it in place. He also turned on the faucet to wash his hands. While washing, he muttered: "Just hang me on your belt..."

“I really do.”

Gou An looked back at him, and the latter smiled at her shamelessly. She realized belatedly that the man in front of her was indeed a pervert at heart, and it would not feel out of place to say such words even if he said them seriously.

"But I'm not here just to catch—"

He Jinxing paused for a few seconds, then gave up adjusting his words and continued stiffly, "The housekeeper just told me that your gift has been delivered to your room. I thought you would like to see it before riding with your friends."

Gou An: “?”

Twenty minutes later, Gou An saw a complete set of cycling clothes with protective gear on the carpet in his room.

At that moment she decided to forgive He Jinxing's perverted behavior for one day.

When Gou An quickly changed into her brand new cycling clothes, Zhou Yutong and her group tagged her in the group and said that they were already waiting at the indoor riding arena.

The weather is cold in winter and the road surface is occasionally icy. For safety reasons, everyone practices cycling indoors.

After Zhou Yutong urged Gou An in the group, she sent her a photo in a private chat. In the photo, a man in a white T-shirt was leading the black horse against the fence. In front of him stood a woman with short chestnut hair in professional riding clothes, looking up and saying something to him.

In the photo, the two people are still standing at a polite social distance, and from the expression on their faces, the man doesn't seem to be taking the conversation very seriously.

[Shy Groundhog: There are some good cabbages coming to take your pig king. ]

Gou An replied “Let her do it” and threw the phone away.

She grabbed the comb and re-arranged her hair, but the rubber band broke because she pulled it too hard.

This double-standard man, she stood with Ye Lang for no more than ten minutes before he followed her like a wolf sniffing blood. Then he stood at the horse farm and started attracting bees and butterflies.

Gou An threw away the comb, picked up a spare rubber band and tied his hair again, changed his clothes and went out, his steps unconsciously becoming larger than usual.

When she arrived at the horse farm, she searched the surroundings first, and then, relying on her memory of the angles in Zhou Yutong's photos, she quickly locked onto the target: the carrot was too eye-catching, and its owner who was holding the carrot next to it was not much less eye-catching.

Even though he was one of the few people present who was not wearing cycling clothes and was just standing there in casual clothes, the man could easily catch the attention of people around him and become the focus.

At this time, there was another Jiang Yi around him. Of course, the woman who was talking to him in the photo was also there—

She was slightly taller than Gou An, and when she spoke to the man, she slightly raised her delicate chin, forming an arc that showed a bit of pride.

I don’t know which family this eldest daughter is. Gou An has never seen her before.

"You can come to my hospital tomorrow. I'll ask them to get you a bottle of that ointment. It's made with our own formula and is not sold outside. It's very effective in relieving itching during wound healing and inhibiting scar formation... It's also very useful to melt it and use it as massage oil. It has a cool grassy smell."

The chestnut-haired man was talking happily when he noticed that the man, who had been supporting his chin with one hand and didn't know if he was really listening, suddenly brightened up and raised his chin a little on his palm.

After a moment of hesitation, I turned my head to follow his gaze, and the next second I saw a little girl in cycling clothes striding towards me -

The thick hair made the ponytail she tied at the back of her head look particularly beautiful when she ran. Her hair was not particularly carefully combed, and a few strands of hair were exposed, but it gave a lively feeling.

She didn't come up and hold He Jinxing's arm as if to declare her sovereignty or do anything else. She just stood there after she got closer, but she was a little too close to him.

At this moment, He Jinxing finally stopped standing in the lazy posture he had a second ago. He lifted his chin completely from his hands, propped his elbows on the fence, and stood up a little straighter. He lowered his head and looked at the person standing beside him——

His eyes flickered across her waistline, which was outlined with precise, fitted lines by the black cycling suit.

Too thin.

He Jinxing raised his eyes and was sighing in his heart that his aesthetic taste was indeed perfect. At this moment, he heard the girl next to him say, "Thank you for the recommendation, sister, but there is a protruding mole on the back of his waist. The doctor said that there is nothing to do, so don't massage it too much."

The voice was calm.

But it is powerful enough.

The man, who had originally looked nonchalant and lost in thought, became dazed for a moment.

It was rare that his brain couldn't keep up with the beat. When he lowered his head with a wooden face to look at Gou An, Jiang Yi beside him had already moved quickly, lifted the hem of his clothes and bent over to take a look -

After a second, he raised his head suddenly, his tone was full of shock that could not be concealed: "Fuck, it really happened."
