C45 Gu Zhandongs invitation
"Huo Moting, don't bully others with your power." Xiao Chen was slightly annoyed by Huo Moting's rude words. "Xiaoxiao will not willingly be with you."
"She didn't want to be with me willingly. Don't tell me she still wants to be with someone like you?" Huo Moting mocked Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen saw the ridicule in Huo Moting's eyes. He felt like he was a lowly ant in front of Huo Moting, which made him extremely angry, "Xiao Xiao loves me, the one she loves has always been me!"
Seeing Xiao Chen like this, Huo Moting suddenly lost all interest. He called for the security guards to come up and instruct them to bring Xiao Chen down, and also did not let him enter the Huo Family again in the future.
"Huo Moting, what do you mean?" Xiao Chen was both angry and afraid when he heard Huo Moting's words.
"From now on, you don't have to bother Gu Xiaoxiao anymore!" Huo Moting said fiercely towards Xiao Chen, "If I find out about this once, your Xiao family will not exist anymore!"
Huo Moting's fierce voice resounded next to Xiao Chen's ears. He was afraid in his heart, but wanted to say something to make himself less awkward, but when he saw the security guards who had arrived, he did not say anything and left dejectedly.
Huo Moting looked at Xiao Chen's back figure. He could not help but doubt Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, how did she see such a man?
With Huo Moting's words, she did not suppress his emotions. She felt that he once again had the same excited and sweet feeling as when he was first in love.
Today was Saturday, so Gu Xiaoxiao didn't need to go to work. Qin Ran also went to bed, so the two of them went shopping together.
Right now, Gu Xiaoxiao was also a rich person, so she was not as thrifty as before. These days, she drew another two sets of designs, both of them for ladies. Yan Wanqing also liked it a lot, she gave Gu Xiaoxiao forty thousand, Gu Xiaoxiao was also very happy.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think of this one?" Qin Ran pointed to a red long skirt as he spoke.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at it and thought it was pretty good. She then looked at Qin Ran and thought it was a good match for him, so she said, "It's pretty good. "Of course, go and give it a try."
Qin Ran was very happy when he heard Gu Xiaoxiao's words. She asked the waiter to help his take off his dress, then went to the fitting room to try on his clothes.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked around and saw a pair of crystal shoes. She felt that they were very fitting for that dress, so she brought them over for Qin Ran to try on later. Then, she sat on the sofa and waited for Qin Ran to come out.
"Xiaoxiao, did it look good?"
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head and saw Qin Ran, dressed in a long skirt, standing in front of him with a smile. Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with a tinge of astonishment.
Qin Ran was very suitable for red. Her skin was very white, and under the contrast of red, his face was even whiter and more beautiful. The long skirt he wore also revealed Qin Ran's perfect figure. His exquisite collarbones, slender waist, and slender legs all showed how fitting this clothes was to Qin Ran.
"Of course, let's try out this pair of shoes." Gu Xiaoxiao passed the pair of high heels to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran happily took the shoes and put them on, because she believed in Gu Xiaoxiao's judgement.
"So beautiful!" Gu Xiaoxiao praised.
Qin Ran, who was already rather tall, became even taller after wearing these 10 cm high heels. The clothes also showed that she had a very good temperament.
"Miss, this outfit really suits you. It's as if it was custom-made for you." The waitress also kept praising him, but what she said was the truth. There were a lot of people who took a fancy to this outfit, but it didn't look as good as they thought, so no one bought it.
"Really?" Qin Ran looked at himself in the mirror and was very satisfied. She smiled and asked Gu Xiaoxiao.
"I want that and the pair of shoes from earlier." Gu Xiaoxiao took out her own card and paid.
After Qin Ran came out, the waiter handed over the bags containing the clothes and shoes to her. When Qin Ran wanted to pay her, she was informed that he had already done so.
Qin Ran was stunned, then thinking that it was definitely Gu Xiaoxiao who had paid for it, he was instantly moved and angry.
"Gu Xiaoxiao!" Qin Ran shouted to Gu Xiaoxiao while holding onto her clothes.
"Aiya, what's wrong?" Looking at Qin Ran's expression, she naturally knew that he was not really angry, "So what if I buy myself a set of clothes?"
"I'll treat you to a big meal!" Qin Ran arrogantly patted Gu Xiaoxiao.
"Sure." Gu Xiaoxiao answered straightforwardly.
Qin Ran brought Gu Xiaoxiao into a very classical restaurant, and only served Chinese food. However, this was definitely a very high-end restaurant, because Qin Ran had only entered this place when he was working at a company.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat? "Do as you please." Qin Ran handed the menu over to Gu Xiaoxiao and started to look at it himself.
Qin Ran was a little unhappy when he saw Gu Xiaoxiao's dishes. However, she knew that Xiao Xiao was doing it for his, so she did not say anything and ordered a few of Gu Xiaoxiao's favorite dishes.
"Sigh, enough. Of course, how can we finish it all? " Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the dishes that Qin Ran had ordered. Not only were they expensive, they were also numerous. Isn't it a waste if we can't finish it?
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. She will definitely be done for." Qin Ran revealed a meaningful smile towards Gu Xiaoxiao.
Only after the dishes were served did Gu Xiaoxiao understand the meaning behind Qin Ran's words. This was because every single dish was too small. Even a rather large plate would have food that was about the size of a palm.
"See, I already said we can't finish." Qin Ran said proudly to Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. She was just eating. She could indeed finish all the dishes, but the taste of the dishes here wasn't bad at all.
"I heard that the ancestors of this shop cooked for the royal family. They were once the royal chefs! These dishes were passed down from generation to generation. How about it? Is it delicious? " Qin Ran introduced this shop to Gu Xiaoxiao, "This shop has existed for many years, its taste, quality and service are all first-class!"
"Yes, it's delicious." Gu Xiaoxiao ate slowly. Suddenly her cell phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it.
The word 'dad' on the phone stung her eyes deeply. She picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice, "Xiaoxiao."
Gu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, before finally opening her mouth, "Mr. Gu." She no longer had the right to call him father, and her complex feelings for him made it impossible for her to call him that.
"Xiaoxiao, you're blaming daddy." Gu Zhandong's voice from the other side of the phone was filled with sorrow and helplessness.
"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaoxiao did not want to hear from him about the past, so she hurriedly interrupted him.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go home." Gu Zhandong said.
Gu Xiaoxiao was silent again, was that still her home?
"Mr. Gu, that's no longer my home."
In the past, he still liked Gu Xiaoxiao very much as her daughter. Even after having peace and quiet, he had always been good to Gu Xiaoxiao. He knew that it was the matter of An An An and Xiao Chen that had made her sad.
When Gu Xiaoxiao heard Gu Zhandong's slightly aged voice, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she replied, "Alright."
"Alright, alright." Gu Zhandong replied happily, he paused for a while, and then said, "Let Mo Ting come as well."
"Let me ask." Gu Xiaoxiao replied. For some reason, she had a strange feeling in her heart, that Gu Zhandong was letting her go back to eat for Huo Moting.
"Alright, then tell Mo Ting about it. How about next Monday?"
"I don't know. Let me ask."
"Mm, then you can confirm it with dad."
"Then dad hung up?"
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao replied softly. Then, he heard the sound of the phone being hung up ..
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Qin Ran asked carefully. She knew that it was Gu Zhandong's phone call, hence she asked with such care.
"He's the one who asked me to bring Huo Moting back for dinner." Gu Xiaoxiao rubbed between her brows, and said with a low voice.
"You agreed?" Qin Ran asked.
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao sighed, "After all, he raised me up once."
"Then be careful." Qin Ran reminded him worriedly. From her point of view, the Gu family was not good people.
"I know, thank you." Gu Xiaoxiao thanked him sincerely.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. If you don't eat now, it'll get cold." Qin Ran suddenly felt embarrassed by Gu Xiaoxiao's sincere apology, and said mischievously.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran returned after eating dinner. She was not in the mood to go shopping.
It was only four o'clock when Gu Xiaoxiao returned home. After changing her shoes, she laid on the bed without even changing her clothes.
After she had slept for a while, she seemed to hear a sound in her sleep. Gu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and realised that Huo Moting had returned. She ruffled her hair and walked into the bathroom to take care of herself. Then, she went out.
Huo Moting stood in the living room and took off his tie. When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao, he instinctively felt that she was in a bad mood. So, Huo Moting stopped pulling on her tie, walked towards Gu Xiaoxiao and caressed her hair, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Huo Moting froze for a moment, then realized that Gu Xiaoxiao was talking about Gu Zhandong, her foster father.
"Yes." Huo Moting answered, and then asked, "What day?"
"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked in a daze.
"What day?" Huo Moting looked at the dazed Gu Xiaoxiao, sighed, and said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly turned red, her voice became a little teary, "Next Monday."
"Alright, I'll go with you when the time comes." Huo Moting looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's red eyes and felt her heart ache. He hugged Gu Xiaoxiao in his arms and patted her back lightly, "You still have me."
