Chapter 196: Make Sure to Watch It Well

sensible child. 。He didn't even know why. He usually had no interest in any woman, but he felt something for her, and it was intense! Very intense!Gu Xicheng shook his head impatiently and asked in a...Hearing the sound, he remembered there was someone beside him and immediately turned around. He picked up her hand and rubbed it gently, saying in a low voice, "Does it hurt"

Xu Yixue raised her hand and looked at it, then whispered softly, "I'm fine."

Gu XiCheng didn't believe it, how could she be fine Looking at the red mark on her palm, he tightened his grip on her hand and said, "There won't be a next time."

Xu Yixue nodded silently, gazing at the two photos. Although they were in black and white, they couldn't hide the man's handsomeness or the woman's beauty.

Gu Xicheng lowered his eyes to look at her hand but said, "Go back."

Xu Yixue nodded and followed him out of the garden. "Mr. Gu, I just thought of something"

Gu Xicheng lowered his head and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Finally, I know why the famous architect got his name from those buildings!" Xu Yixue's lips curled up slightly, "It's from my uncle and aunt's names."

Gu Xi chuckled and pinched her cheek playfully before refocusing his gaze on the small cottage.

Xu Yixue noticed his sad expression, her curiosity piqued. She followed his gaze to the small hut and asked, "Why are you here"

"I helped my father finish what he hadn't gotten to do." He looked at Xu Yixue.

His mother knew many things and was very knowledgeable. But she wanted to live in a small cottage with her lover surrounded by flowers.

His mother possessed an elegant demeanor. Highly accomplished, she effortlessly composed poems, songs, and prose. She was also a master of calligraphy, painting, chess, and music. In business, she excelled as well. As a child, he even believed his mother could do anything.

As you.

"Your father must love your mother very much, right"

Gu Xicheng heard this, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her.

"Hmm." she murmured in response.

After they returned, they had lunch and then he stayed in the study while she was taking an online class in the bedroom. In the evening, it wasn't until Gu Bo came up to tell them that Mr. Qin and Xiao Shao were here that Gu Xichen and Xu Yixue came down from upstairs.

"Brother, I'm here!"

"Big brother, I'm here!"

Downstairs, she saw two boxes of red wine by the sofa and her jaw dropped in surprise.

Xu Yixue raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, "Are you guys planning to drink until tomorrow morning"

Ye Xiyu excitedly held up his handbag, and Gao Cailie said in a loud voice, "If we want to drink, that's the way to have a birthday atmosphere. Right, Big Brother"

Gu Xicheng lowered his head to look at the woman beside him and whispered, "They're drinking."

Ye Xiyu waved her hand nonchalantly. "Yes, yes, yes, they'll drink!"

"Happy birthday, big brother."

Qin Yan opened his mouth and spoke.

Xiao Ting also chimed in, "Happy birthday, big brother."

Gu Xicheng nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

Qin Yan smiled gently, then nodded at Xu Yixue, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xu Yixue smiled shyly, "Hello."

Gu Xicheng took Xu Yixue's hand and said to them, "Let's talk about it over dinner."

Mr. Gu took out the highball glasses and red wine, opened the bottle, and poured red wine into each glass one by one.

Gu Xi looked at the six high-footed glasses on the table, his brows furrowing slightly imperceptibly, "Change to drinks."

When Gu Bo reached the fifth glass of wine, he stopped. He understood the meaning behind the words and nodded, "Yes, young master."

"Sister-in-law!" Ye Xiyu rushed over excitedly. Seeing the table full of fragrant dishes, she took a deep breath, "Wow, I haven't eaten Big Brother's cooking in ages!"

She leaned closer to Xu Yixue, eyeing the drink in her hand. She winked at her flirtatiously, "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known Big Bro could be so thoughtful!"

Xu Yixue's face flushed red, and she smiled, "He is also very good to you."

Yexiyu pouted and said, "How is that possible"

"!"

Ye Xiyu leaned into Xu Yixue's ear and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you must keep a close eye on your brother, don't give other women a chance! It would be best to get pregnant as soon as possible..."

Xu Yixue pursed her lips and whispered, "Where did you learn this""Are we siblings"Xu Hengwen didn't answer this time, only frowning tightly, as if something had been bothering him all along, and he couldn't figure it out.Xu Yixue stared at his handsome face for a l...
