C48 Hormertins Consolation
"Don't look for Gu Xiaoxiao again in the future. You can't do anything!" He narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "If you let me know, I will make your company go bankrupt immediately, and there will be no room for a comeback!"
Huo Moting held the stunned Gu Xiaoxiao and left the Gu household.
Only the Gu family members and Xiao Chen were left there dumbstruck. They only regained their senses after Huo Moting and his figure had disappeared, but they shuddered simultaneously.
Huo Moting brought Gu Xiaoxiao and left the Gu household. On the way home, Gu Xiaoxiao remained silent.
Huo Moting deliberately drove very slowly, from time to time he would turn his head and look at her worriedly.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked out the window, watching the trees on both sides of the road retreat. She suddenly had a very pessimistic idea. She even felt that the fallen trees were abandoned, just like she was, and no one cared about them.
Sometimes, she would fall into a circle. She wondered if she wasn't good enough, if she hadn't done good enough, so that the Gu family wouldn't have any kinship with her.
It had been nearly twenty years. In twenty years, even if he had a dog, he would at least have some feelings for her. He couldn't be so heartless, right?
Thinking up to here, Gu Xiaoxiao felt even more sad. Was she unworthy of kinship?
In fact, in this world, there were some people who had neither heart nor emotions. In their eyes, only benefits and perhaps the most important thing was the blood relation. Even after so many years of interaction, they still could not compare to the blood ties. And the Gu family happened to be such a person. In the eyes of Father and paris fructus, no matter what Gu Xiaoxiao did, could compare to their own daughter. In the past, when she, Gu Anan, did not have any conflicts, they would treat her well.
However, in their eyes, having benefits was very important, just like this time. In the past, when they chased her out of the Gu family, they were afraid that they would ruin Gu Anan's marriage. But this time, they still let her come back because of the benefits they could get from her!
The car stopped in front of a red light. Huo Moting looked at the sad Gu Xiaoxiao and suddenly felt pain in her heart. He silently held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand and didn't say anything. He knew that what Gu Xiaoxiao needed the most now wasn't verbal consolation, but someone who could accompany her at this time of day.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt Huo Moting's hand wrap around her own, she could feel the warmth coming from that big hand, her heart suddenly shrank.
Gu Xiaoxiao did not struggle free and let Huo Moting hold her hand, because this made her feel that she was not alone and it made her feel warm.
After reaching the original small building, Huo Moting parked the car, unfastened his seat belt, and let go of Gu Xiaoxiao's hand.
The hand that was suddenly pulled away brought Gu Xiaoxiao back to reality. She suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but when she thought about it, Huo Moting had just released her hand, then wouldn't that mean that he was driving with one hand?
"Huo Moting..." The voice that did not speak for a long time sounded a little hoarse. Only after a long while did Gu Xiaoxiao speak. How can you drive with one hand? "
Huo Moting chuckled, he walked out of the Driver and turned around to open the door for Gu Xiaoxiao, then smiled at her, "My technique is good!" As he said this, he had an incomparably brilliant smile on his face. Gu Xiaoxiao had never seen him smile like this before, and was lost in thought for a moment.
"Besides, I drive very slowly." Huo Moting's smiling voice sounded beside Gu Xiaoxiao's ears.
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly regained her senses, and looked into Huo Moting's eyes. The eyes that used to be so deep that they would cause fear in people's hearts, were now filled with a smile, shining brightly and enchantingly. Was he worrying about herself? Was that why he was acting so strangely today, wanting to infect her with her happiness?
Huo Moting walked forward, held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand, and slowly headed home.
When they reached home, Gu Xiaoxiao changed her shoes and went into her bedroom. Huo Moting looked at her back, a little worried. After thinking for a bit, he decided to follow her.
Huo Moting saw Gu Xiaoxiao standing alone on the balcony, looking up at the sky.
The deep night sky seemed to give off a faint light, like a calm deep sea without the slightest ripple. The silver white moonlight loved the company of the stars, and the clear and cold night wind carried the sadness of the moonlight as it rushed into the embrace of the night sky, sinking into silence.
This kind of night sky gave people a desolate feeling for no reason. Huo Moting walked over and gently hugged Gu Xiaoxiao in her arms.
Gu Xiaoxiao's head was pressed against Huo Moting's chest. She felt that powerful heartbeat, and the sadness in her heart didn't seem to be so deep.
"Tell me, am I not worthy of being loved? Am I not good enough? That's why they did that to me? "
A low voice came out from Huo Moting's embrace. Huo Moting looked at the top of Gu Xiaoxiao's head, a deep pain flashing across her eyes. He felt that this girl had suffered too much.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Huo Moting's calm and forceful voice was extremely clear in this silent space, "Very good! It's really good! It's their fault, they aren't worthy of your family love. "
"Gu Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be sad about people like them, it's not worth it."
"You still have me, so the Huo Family is now your home! You'll think of yourself as a Huo from now on. Me, Mom, and Huo Mochen as well. Oh, it's fine if you like that Huo Moyu brat, as we are all your family. "
Gu Xiaoxiao's calm and resolute voice resounded above Gu Xiaoxiao's head. The sadness and fear in her heart seemed to have disappeared along with Huo Moting's words.
"Thank you." Gu Xiaoxiao said, choked with emotions, "Thank you, Huo Moting."
Gu Xiaoxiao reached out and wrapped her arms around Huo Moting's waist, burying her head deep in Huo Moting's chest.
Huo Moting laughed lightly as he caressed Gu Xiaoxiao's hair. Looking at her laying on his chest, he smiled.
After a long while, Gu Xiaoxiao released Huo Moting, took a step back, and widened the distance between them. She raised her head, looked at Huo Moting, and smiled, "Thank you for your consolation. I'm fine now. " And thank you for your company. Gu Xiaoxiao did not say that out loud.
Huo Moting looked at Gu Xiaoxiao who was slowly raising her head. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, but right now, they were shining brightly.
"You're welcome." Huo Moting's thin lips slightly parted, spitting out words that moved Gu Xiaoxiao, "I can lend it to you anytime here." Huo Moting pointed to his own chest.
Gu Xiaoxiao's face became red, she did not dare look at Huo Moting, much less look at his shirt. That white shirt was already wet, it was her tears.
Huo Moting watched as Gu Xiaoxiao's face slowly turned red and the color in her eyes deepened. "Xiaoxiao, it's getting late. With that, she raised her long legs and walked out.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Moting's back, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart. She picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, she went to bed.
The next day, when Gu Xiaoxiao woke up, the sky was already bright. Her fan-like eyelashes gently flapped, and the eye-piercing sunlight once again caused her to fiercely close her eyes. She covered her eyes with her hands, blocking out the warm sunlight that came straight in. I forgot to pull the curtains when I went to bed yesterday.
After she got used to the light, Gu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and sat up, stretching her body.
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly got up and washed her face and rinsed her mouth. She went downstairs and saw the empty living room. She suddenly felt lonely. Huo Moting had already gone to work. After all, it was already nine o'clock.
Gu Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen, thinking to casually make some food to eat. Her gaze was suddenly attracted by the sticky note on the refrigerator.
She walked over and gently picked up the note. It read: "Breakfast is ready. In the microwave, you can eat it if you heat it."
Those words were like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, giving off a domineering aura.
Gu Xiaoxiao's heart was immediately filled with emotions. She felt that Huo Moting was really great, so good that she didn't know how to face her.
After Gu Xiaoxiao finished eating, she looked at her phone. Nine-thirty, she thought.
The weather today was very good. As Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the blue sky and white clouds above her, the birds that occasionally flew past in the sky, her mood was exceptionally good.
When he arrived at Zixian Restaurant, he coincidentally bumped into Yuan Liluo who had just arrived.
Gu Xiaoxiao watched as the car they saw last time drove away slowly. She was a little suspicious of the relationship between the man and Yuan Liluo, but she didn't have the intention to dig it out.
"Ripple." Gu Xiaoxiao called out to Yuan Liluo.
"Xiaoxiao." Yuan Liluo's face was a little strange, but she quickly changed her expression.
"Let's go in."
"Yes!"
Yuan Liluo held Gu Xiaoxiao's hand and entered Zi Wu.
"Xiaoxiao, what are we playing today?" Yuan Liluo sat in front of the makeup mirror and allowed Tina to fix her hair. She asked Gu Xiaoxiao who had just came out of the locker room.
"I want to play something more cheerful today." Gu Xiaoxiao replied without raising her head as she lowered her head to tidy up her attire.
"A more cheerful tune?" Yuan Liluo stood up from the chair, "What about Children's Records?"
"Sure." Gu Xiaoxiao sat at the spot where Yuan Liluo was sitting just a moment ago, letting Tina help him put on makeup and fix her hair.
Yuan Liluo entered the locker room, and a loud voice came out from inside, "Then it's a deal!"
After Gu Xiaoxiao and Yuan Liluo finished preparing, they went up the stage.
Today, Gu Xiaoxiao wore a blue, shoulder-revealing dress, and blue, high heels. Today, Yuan Liluo wore an orange, slanted shoulder-length skirt, and on her feet, were orange, high-heeled shoes. Holding hands, they walked up the stage, bent slightly towards the main hall, and then sat down in their own seats and began to play.
Today's performance was very successful. The cheerful melody infected many people.
When Gu Xiaoxiao got off work, she had originally planned to directly walk back home, but it was at this time that she saw that familiar car stop in front of him.
The car window rolled down, revealing Huo Moting's handsome and familiar face. Then he opened the door and stepped out.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm here to bring you home."
The deep and beautiful male voice rang beside Gu Xiaoxiao's ears, and she finally regained her composure in shock.
"Yes." Gu Xiaoxiao replied softly.
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Moting who had come to pick her up, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled. She walked over and entered Huo Moting's club. A door that a gentleman opens for himself.
"You're back so early today?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.
"The company isn't busy today."
"Oh."
Gu Xiaoxiao became silent, because she did not know what to say.
"Xiaoxiao." Huo Moting looked at the silent Gu Xiaoxiao, and spat out a few words indifferently, "Let's choose our wedding dress tomorrow."
His tone was flat, as if he was saying that he would be eating tomorrow.
