Chapter 188 Birthday

Gu Lanting had the key to Yuanxiao's house. When he walked in, he saw darkness.

He was a little confused. The light was on at the door, but not inside.

He walked inside, and his pace quickened.

When he walked inside, he heard a bang. Yuanxiao stood in the middle, holding a cake and walked out. A group of people sang a happy birthday song.

The only light in the yard was the candles on the cake, which made Yuanxiao's face look delicate and small.

Gu Lanting chuckled and felt a warm current invading his limbs and wrapped him up.

He walked up to Yuan Xiao, stood still, and said in a hoarse voice: "When did you prepare it?"

Yuan Xiao looked at him with sparkling eyes, with the cake between them, as if she wanted to be praised: "How is it, are you surprised?"

Gu Lanting kissed the corner of her lips, "Very surprised!"

Chu Jiangping was so angry that his face was distorted, and the words to curse were on his lips, but thinking that the atmosphere was so good now, he forced himself to hold it back.

Yuan Xiao put the cake on the table, "Hurry up, blow the candles and make a wish."

Gu Lanting blew out the candles and said, "I hope to be with Xiaoxiao forever."

Yuan Xiao was a little anxious, "Oh, you can't say your wish, it won't work!"

Gu Lanting stroked her little face, "It will work."

Wang Yazhi interrupted them with a smile: "Okay, cut the cake."

If they continue to show affection, Chu Jiangping will kill people.

Yuan Xiao divided the cake for everyone, and then he saw that Gu Lanting was holding a bag in his hand. It looked like a gift, and the packaging was very delicate.

"Someone actually gave you a gift before me, Lan Muyun?"

Gu Lanting put down the things in his hand casually, "No, a friend."

Yuan Xiao felt that the details of this gift were well done, and it should be a woman.

She pouted, "Male or female?"

Gu Lanting took a bite of the cake and frowned, "This cake is delicious, but a little sour!"

Yuan Xiao stared, "How is it possible, I didn't put any vinegar..."

She reacted, put her arms around her chest, and snorted, "I'm not jealous!"

Gu Lanting held her hand, "Okay, I'll take you to see her tomorrow."

Yuan Xiao put this matter aside for the time being. He could tell her so frankly that there must be nothing wrong, at least Gu Lanting didn't treat her badly.

After a lively dinner, seeing that it was late at night, Chu Jiangping began to drive people away.

Yuan Xiao glared at him for several times, which made Chu Jiangping fall backwards in anger.

It is said that girls are extroverted, and this is indeed true!

After Gu Lanting left, Yuan Xiao dragged his tired body back to his yard to take a shower and sleep.

Bai Yan took Qin Qin to the front room. She was alone in her yard, which seemed empty.

Today was the 16th day of the lunar calendar. After taking a bath, Yuan Xiao saw the bright moonlight hanging in the sky.

She walked to the yard and sat down, holding her chin up to look at the moon. She looked

until her eyes were sore, and a figure came down.

She raised her eyes and heard the sound from the wall, and subconsciously wanted to call for help.

The figure almost became a shadow, and jumped down to cover her mouth.

"Huh--"

Yuan Xiao was startled, and her muscles relaxed. It was Gu Lanting.

She raised her hand and hit him, "You scared me to death."

Gu Lanting sat down, lifted her up by the waist, put her on his thighs, rested his chin on her shoulder, and put his ear to hers.

Yuan Xiao was petite, as if she was born to be in his arms, embedded in his arms.

"I can't help it. I couldn't talk to you properly all night." He sighed.

Yuan Xiao covered his mouth and laughed, "Don't be angry with Uncle Chu, he loves me very much."

Gu Lanting's tone was a little resentful: "Then don't I love you?"

Yuan Xiao chuckled, "So what, you are not my father. But-"

Gu Lanting looked at her, "But what?"

"But you are not young anymore, you are 25, many people are already fathers at your age!"

Gu Lanting squinted at her, with a dangerous light in his eyes, "Do you think I'm too old?"

He opened his mouth slightly, bit Yuan Xiao's little ear, and licked it with his lips and tongue a few times.

Yuan Xiao shuddered slightly, and a tingling sensation spread.

She struggled for a few times, "Oh, you broke the rules, let me go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wang Yazhi's voice: "Xiaoxiao, who are you talking to?"

Yuan Xiao's body was stiff, and her heart beat to her throat, "Mom, I'm talking to the moon!"

Wang Yazhi laughed, "There is heavy dew at night, go back to your room and sleep, be obedient."

Yuan Xiao agreed, and her body flew into the air.

Gu Lanting picked her up gently with one hand, walked into the house and closed the door.

Yuan Xiao woke up the next day, and Gu Lanting had already gone back.

She got up to change her clothes, and saw that there were many red marks on her body, and she couldn't help blushing.

Fortunately, there was no mark on her neck, otherwise she wouldn't have to go out.

As it was a rare weekend with no work to do, Yuan Xiao baked a variety of cookies at home and brought them to Gu Lanting's troops to show their support.

The soldier at the gate recognized Yuan Xiao and let her in directly, saying with a smile, "It just so happens that Sister Su Ding is here too, so we can get all the good stuff together."

Yuan Xiao glanced at him, but in her heart she was wondering who Su Ding was.

She walked in, and before she put her things down, she heard the men's hearty laughter.

From a distance, she saw Gu Lanting among them.

He didn't laugh as exaggeratedly as the others, but with a smile on his face, he looked much softer.

In the middle, there was a woman.

A woman in a blue dress, with a gentle temperament, as soft as water.

Gu Lanting spotted Yuan Xiao's figure, stood up quickly, and trotted over.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Xiao

raised his eyebrows, "Can't I come?"

Gu Lanting rubbed her head affectionately, his eyes fell on the bag in her hand, "What did you make?"

She shook it, "Biscuits, and the dried meat I made before."

Gu Lanting took out the dried meat inside, "Those bastards are like hungry wolves every time, I'll keep the dried meat for myself."

Yuan Xiao pursed his lips and looked at the woman in the crowd, "Who is she?"

Gu Lanting held Yuan Xiao's hand and pulled her over, "My former captain's daughter, just call me Sister Su Ding."

"She is older than you?"

Gu Lanting hummed, "Two years older, the old captain died many years ago. Sister Su Ding comes to the army to see us every year."

Yuan Xiao responded.

They walked up to Su Ding and stood in front of her. "Sister Su Ding, this is my date, Yuan Xiao."

Su Ding smiled slightly, "Hello, Yuan Xiao."

"Sister Su Ding." Yuan Xiao replied with a smile.
