Chapter 136: Take Care of Him for the Rest of His Life
Gu Jingyan knew his position of not going.
After returning home, he looked at the invitation that Gu Xixi took out. It only invited children and also stated the time to pick up the children.
This means that this is a gathering exclusively for Li Cheyan’s friends and Li Mingfeng’s partners.
If he, an uninvited person, goes there, the atmosphere will become weird.
But Gu Jingyan was worried about Gu Xixi, and asked for some unknown reason: "Xixi, do you want me to go with you?"
Although I know this little girl has a golden finger, she is only in kindergarten!
Does this mean that kindergartens have to shoulder the huge responsibility of saving lives?
Gu Xixi: [What does handsome dad mean? Does he want to go too? Goodbye! ]
Gu Jingyan's heart was pierced by an arrow.
Gu Xixi: [They are all kids and Li's family's friends and relatives. Handsome dad is not among the invited guests. It would be weird to go there.]
Gu Xixi: [Besides, his presence might even affect my performance.]
Gu Jingyan's heart has become as hard as a hedgehog.
After a moment of rejection, Gu Xixi pretended to be cute and waved her arms: "No need, Xixi can do it alone! Really!"
Gu Xixi: [Please, handsome dad, please agree quickly, please agree quickly. ]
Since the little kid has given up on her like that, how could Gu Jingyan have the nerve to insist on doing so?
"Okay, I'll pick you up on time."
"So good~~"
The next day might be a tough one.
Gu Xixi went to bed early. The next morning, as soon as the mall opened, she and Gu Jingyan were the first to rush in.
Looking at the densely packed toys, Gu Xixi felt a little dizzy from choosing.
Gu Jingyan originally wanted Tang Yin to arrange it.
But Xiao Naibao said no, she must choose it herself.
If she didn't choose it herself, she always worried that there was something wrong.
For example, now.
The clerk thought that Gu Jingyan brought Gu Xixi to buy toys, and was promoting a set of toys that little girls especially liked.
Family meal.
There is a full set of forks, plates and other items in it. The main feature is that they are resistant to damage and have nice colors.
But! There is a fork inside!!
Thinking of the fact that Li Xingcheng's eye was pierced by a fork, Gu Xixi could never accept this as a birthday present.
"Dad, I...I think that one is suitable for Cheyan!" The little kid pulled the hem of Gu Jingyan's suit and pulled him to a big box.
The clerk smiled and said, "That's a Transformers armor that can be twisted and worn on yourself."
"Little boy, do you like this?"
There was a mannequin next to him wearing the armor. Gu Xixi took a closer look and found that there were no sharp objects and the edges were rounded, so it didn't look like someone had been stabbed.
Gu Xixi: [This gift is safe! This is it! ]
Gu Xixi: [That house-playing set just now was too dangerous. What if the fork in my own gift pierced Li Xingcheng?]
Gu Xixi: [Then I have to take care of him for the rest of his life? ]
Gu Jingyan's eyes swept across the set of pretend meals that was put back on the shelf, and his eyes gradually widened.
No! This set is absolutely not acceptable!
This armor is good. It looks good no matter how you look at it. It should be safe.
"Dad, Xixi thinks this is suitable for Cheyan. Can we buy this one?" Gu Xixi raised her finger and pointed tentatively.
Gu Jingyan thought without hesitation: "Wrap it up, I want this one."
The clerk was overjoyed and took out a new set. He carefully wrapped the outer shell with beautiful colored paper and affixed a pink ribbon as pink as Gu Xixi's.
The gift was two-thirds the size of Gu Xixi, so big that her small arms couldn’t hold it.
It could only be carried into the car with the help of Gu Jingyan.
Arrived at Li's house.
A servant greeted them at the door. When the servant saw Gu Xixi's huge gift, he took the initiative to step forward and help take it.
The people who come to Li's house today are either rich or noble, so they must be discerning and not neglect their guests.
Gu Jingyan handed Gu Xixi over to the Gu family and said hello to Li Mingfeng.
Although Li Mingfeng invited him to stay out of courtesy, since no invitation was sent in advance, his staying would seem unnecessary.
The most important thing is that Gu Xixi doesn't want him to stay.
Gu Jingyan didn't want to dislike his daughter.
Instead of staying and making her uncomfortable, it would be better to go home and analyze what happened five years ago.
Gu Xixi stood at the door and waved vigorously to see Gu Jingyan off. Li Cheyan just walked out of the villa.
"Xixi, you're here!" Li Cheyan's eyes lit up and he came over happily to hold her hand.
Looking around, Gu Xixi didn't see Li Xingcheng.
Is it true that he is so angry that he won't go downstairs?
"Happy birthday, Cheyan, this is my gift." Gu Xixi pointed to the huge packaging box next to her.
"Wow! It's so big! What is it?"
"You'll know when you open it later."
Li Cheyan ignored everyone else and took Gu Xixi to visit the Li family's home, enthusiastically introducing each room one by one.
Finally, we were introduced to Li Xingcheng's room.
At the end of the corridor.
There is a large white window with the scenery outside framed in it, creating a "painting" that changes throughout the year.
The door was closed.
Since she hadn't seen Li Xingcheng since she arrived, Gu Xixi subconsciously thought that he was in the room.
"Is Li Xingcheng in the room? Why doesn't he come out to play?" Gu Xixi asked deliberately.
You can tell at first glance that he's not the kind of person who likes crowds.
Li Cheyan's eyes were somewhat dim: "Brother was sick yesterday. He had a fever all night and just got better this morning."
"Auntie said he needs to rest and should sleep in his room now."
"Let's keep our voices down."
Having said that, Li Cheyan’s voice turned into a whisper, and he took Gu Xixi to visit other places.
Li Cheyan kept pestering Gu Xixi and asking what the gift was.
Finally she couldn't stand it anymore and said it was a toy armor.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheyan rushed downstairs excitedly and asked his father to open it and put it on him.
Gu Xixi had not seen Li Mingfeng many times.
This person is like an ice cube, always cold. Occasionally he would smile, but that smile did not make people feel friendly.
But when Li Mingfeng looked at Li Cheyan, a rare gentleness appeared on his face.
He opened Gu Xixi's gift, thanked her, and put the armor on Li Cheyan.
Watching his son posing in various silly poses, he would pick up his phone to take pictures.
It was as if she had completely forgotten that she had a sick son.
Li Mingfeng looked around and suddenly called the servant. He whispered a few words and the servant immediately went upstairs.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on Li Xingcheng's door.
Han Yaning looked at her son who had finally fallen asleep, and stood up irritably and opened the door a crack: "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to keep your voice down since the young master just fell asleep?"
The servant lowered his head awkwardly: "It was Mr. Li who asked me to ask the Madam and the Young Master to come downstairs."
"Xing Cheng is still running a fever, why are you going downstairs? He is not the protagonist today! He needs to rest!" Han Yaning gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
Ever since Xiao San's son returned to Li's family, the status of the mother and son has completely lost its weight.
No matter what, you have to give way to Li Cheyan.
"The master said that the madam and the young master must go down no matter what." The servant nervously repeated what Li Mingfeng had told him.
