Jiang Bei coughed twice, looking uneasy, and then took away his daughter, who was still pestering Gu Zuozuo for Feifei.
Gu Zuozuo understood that there was only one person who could find her through Jiang Bei, and who could make Jiang Bei, this stubborn guy, willingly give orders.
At the main gate, the two stone lions still squat there majestically, as always, year after year, with only a few more marks etched by time.
Xie Jinyu was dressed in a crisp military uniform, the stars on his shoulders sparkling in the sunlight.
He is almost forty years old but still incredibly handsome. Over the years, apart from a few wrinkles around his eyes, he doesn't look like he's nearly forty at all.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
As he spoke, he handed her the bright red roses he was holding.
Gu Zuozuo looked at the flowers, then at Xie Jinyu, and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
What's going on here?
Xie Jinyu looked at her calmly with his deep-set eyes, gesturing for her to accept it.
The two people hiding in the space looked at the bouquet of flowers with different expressions.
The little system was gloating, almost bursting out laughing. Its tail was practically wagging like a propeller. It secretly glared at Si Jue, thinking to itself, "Serves him right."
Si Jue glared at the bouquet of flowers, gritting her teeth.
Over the years, he has sent countless flowers to this ancestor, and she has never even glanced at them before tossing them into her spatial storage. But when this brat gives her a bouquet of flowers, she holds it in her hands like a treasure.
The mainframe grabbed Si Jue, fearing that the adult might impulsively unleash a bolt of lightning and cause a huge mess. It guaranteed that the woman would tear the adult apart!
Xie Jinyu looked at the still stunningly beautiful woman in front of her with gentle eyes.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
Gu Zuozuo didn't hesitate and welcomed the person inside.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone is eating glutinous rice balls together. One more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either. It's just that everyone is together, which makes it more lively.
Because of what happened to the original owner, she harbored great resentment towards all the people she had ever been in contact with.
Now that so many years have passed, we know what we need to know, and we've distanced ourselves from those we should have. No matter what our relationship was in the past, we're at least friends now, and we can still get together for a meal and a drink.
Xie Jinyu's eyes were full of smiles. He had long since given up on the idea of her being there. While disappointed, he was also relieved that there was no one else in that spot.
Wang Erzhu, who had retired and was at home taking care of her grandson, was happily playing with her in the living room when she looked up and was met with Xie Jinyu's coffin-like face, and almost choked on her saliva.
"General Xie, what a rare guest!"
This brat is now a powerful and influential figure, usually so busy that he's rarely seen. It's both surprising and not surprising to see him here with Gu Zuozuo today.
Xie Jinyu nodded and greeted everyone present one by one, her attitude neither humble nor arrogant, but extremely gentle.
The people here today are all Gu Zuozuo's longtime friends, and their relationship is quite special, so he naturally treats them with kindness.
"It's so lively! One more person won't make a difference, will it?"
A somewhat arrogant voice came from inside the room. Everyone turned around and saw a tall, slender figure holding a bouquet of roses that could bury him. He smiled at everyone in the room and blew a kiss to Gu Zuozuo who was looking over.
"Honey, it's been so long!"
The mainframe covered its face, wondering what to do. It couldn't hold this guy back for a moment, and he ran off to compete for attention.
The people in the room had strange expressions. They looked at Xie Jinyu, whose expression was inscrutable, and then at Si Jue, who had a provocative and unruly look on his face. They began to imagine a love triangle drama in their minds.
The two men's eyes met, as if sparks were flying between them. Both were tall and handsome, one calm and domineering, the other mysterious and alluring.
Qi Meng excitedly pinched her man's arm, her face flushed.
"Kids make choices! Adults want it all!"
Everyone... they can hear us!
