Chapter 40: Conspiring Loudly
The morning sun shines through the window.
A small capsule bulged out on the bed. There was a movement under the quilt, and Gu Xixi's furry head popped out.
"Aha~" After yawning and stretching, the little kid rubbed his eyes and got out of bed to wash up.
Washing up is not a problem for her!
Gu Xixi took firm steps, planning to finish washing up by herself today without calling a maid.
Standing in front of the sink, she raised her head and looked at the long and winding faucet. Suddenly she was in a dilemma...
When Gu Jingyan entered the room, he saw Gu Xixi stretching out her already short arms, trying hard to reach the faucet.
But she jumped and leaped, and her palm was always a long distance away from the faucet.
A large hand came out from the side, lifted it lightly, and turned on the faucet.
"Why don't you ask Aunt He to help you?" Gu Jingyan wet the towel with hot water, wrung it dry, and then squatted down to wipe the little kid's face.
Gu Xixi realized the limitations of her short legs and arms, so she clenched her fists at her waist and stood upright.
After washing her little face carefully twice, Gu Xixi opened her eyes, and her bangs spread upwards from her hairline.
Gu Jingyan had just put the towel back into the sink when he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
The little baby standing there, wearing khaki plush pajamas, looks like a little lion standing up.
Gu Xixi and the little lion are a good match.
Unlike other kids, she likes cute and pink things. She looks innocent and cute on the outside, but she is actually very ambitious on the inside.
"Xixi~~" Someone knocked on the door twice, and Gu Junli's stealthy voice came in through the crack of the door.
Why did Second Uncle look for her so early in the morning?
Gu Xixi glanced at Gu Jingyan out of the corner of her eye, and after getting the hint from his eyes, she walked over and opened the door.
"Second uncle, good morning~" the little one said politely.
Gu Junli was so cute that his eyes narrowed into slits: "Good morning, Xixi~"
It's strange that she didn't complain today.
【Looking for me so early in the morning, it must be bad news. 】
[Second Uncle's smile is so flattering, with all kinds of expressions on his face, it's really easy to guess what he is like.]
Gu Junli: I complain whenever I want, I'm used to it.
But Xixi said that he has all kinds of expressions on his face, is that true?
Gu Junli touched his face suspiciously and vowed to himself that he had to be more restrained, otherwise how could he deceive Cao Haishu with his perfect acting skills.
He came to see Xiao Naibao today just to... borrow a baby!
But if you ask your elder brother to borrow your baby, you will most likely be rejected.
How can I bring other people's children to my company all day long?
After much thought, Gu Junli decided to start with Gu Xixi.
If he pleases and convinces the little one, and then goes to discuss with his big brother, the possibility of success will be greatly increased!
"Xixi, do you want to go to Second Uncle's company today? There will be afternoon tea in the afternoon, with more than a dozen flavors of small cakes, juice, milk tea, and Second Uncle's newly bought toy car!"
Gu Xixi yawned expressionlessly: "I don't want to~"
"Second Uncle also bought a small jade water cup for Xixi~"
[Made of jade! I suddenly wanted to go and see it! ]
Gu Junli secretly rejoiced.
Other children may be interested in food and toys.
But Gu Xixi is different. She likes money! She likes valuable things!
Treat the disease with the right medicine, and there is no need to worry about the little one not agreeing.
"Hey, Xixi is so curious! Can Xixi really go and see?" The little kid was lying at the door, his expression full of trepidation.
Gu Junli squatted at the door and nodded in agreement: "Of course you can, don't tell your brother yet, wait for me to talk to him, if he doesn't agree, just say you want to go!"
"Is that so..." Gu Xixi glanced at Gu Jingyan, who was standing behind the door and listening to Gu Junli's loud conspiracy.
"Really? Don't tell me yet?"
A hand reached out from inside the house and tapped the door, frightening Gu Junli who was squatting there to fall to the ground.
Gu Jingyan walked out from behind the door, and his eyes, which were unable to discern emotions, made Gu Junli's heart skip a beat.
Although his eldest brother is not a violent person, he has a stubborn temper. Once he makes a decision, it is impossible for others to change it.
What if he thinks that I am conspiring with Xiaonaibao behind my back, and gets unhappy and doesn't let Xixi go to the company?
Today, Cao Haishu is likely to come to him to explain.
At that time, we will have to rely on Xixi's thoughts to know whether this guy has any other conspiracy.
Cao Haishu is a very good actor and a very patient person. He does things neatly and efficiently, and rarely leaves any unnecessary tails.
If he hadn't relied on Gu Xixi's voice before, he would probably have been killed by this sinister villain by surprise.
"Brother, it's so early," Gu Junli got up from the ground, forcing a smile on his face, "Good morning~"
It's strange!
Before, it was the servants who helped Gu Xixi wash and dress. Why is it so early, big brother? The sun has risen from the west.
"Well, it was a good morning. I heard you whispering about me behind my back."
Gu Junli raised his hand and patted his eldest brother's shoulder, creating an atmosphere of brotherly friendship: "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm not saying bad things about you, brother. I just want to take Xixi out to play!"
"Go to the company to play? What's fun in the company?" Gu Jingyan is an expert when it comes to being merciless.
A drop of sweat slid down the corner of his forehead. Gu Junli was afraid that Gu Jingyan would not lend the baby, so he pulled him to a corner, ready to take a gamble.
If he said that borrowing Xixi could save her life, eldest brother would not refuse.
"Brother, I have no choice. If Xixi wasn't here, I would have died!"
"What the hell, why are you quacking again, big brother, really, quacking."
"No, without Xixi, I'll quack."
Gu Jingyan frowned slightly, his expression looked like he was looking at a psychopath.
"Ah——" Gu Junli knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and let out a loud scream.
Still can’t say it!
Can I write or type on my phone?
Then he tried everything he could think of, but when he got to the key words, his hands lost control and all he typed was “quack quack”.
Gu Jingyan raised his hand to pat Gu Junli, who was getting more and more panicked, and slowly uttered a word: "Understand."
"No, brother, you don't understand, you quack quack."
"No, I really understand," Gu Jingyan's big hand gently exerted force, signaling Gu Junli not to be nervous, "As long as Xixi is willing, you can take her to the company and take good care of her."
“Really…really?”
"Of course it's true."
Gu Junli wanted to cry but had no tears. He gave Gu Jingyan a bear hug and said, "Thank you, brother. Thank you. Quack quack quack."
From childhood to adulthood, this younger brother has been emotionally stable and rarely loses his composure like this.
Gu Jingyan had just almost confirmed it.
In the Gu family, he is not the only one who can hear Gu Xixi's thoughts. At least for now, he is sure that Gu Wanwei and Gu Junli can also hear it.
It turns out that Gu Xixi's father is not unique.
I can't help feeling a little disappointed.
When Gu Wanwei walked out of the room in her home clothes, she saw her second brother's grateful look. It was really rare.
"What's going on?" Gu Wanwei yawned loudly, "Why are you all crowding at Xixi's door so early in the morning?"
"Because, beep beep beep..." Gu Jingyan deliberately tried to say what was in his heart.
Gu Junli noticed something and followed suit: "Yes, quack quack quack..."
What's happening?
Are the eldest and second brothers possessed by evil spirits?
Seeing her second brother full of energy, Gu Wanwei thought of what Gu Xixi had said before. Since she couldn't tell her second brother what was in her heart, could she at least remind him to be careful of the villains around him?
"Second brother, chirp, chirp..."
For a moment, the three adults present were silent.
