Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Lin Ruoxi's words encompassed the two processes of birthday candles: blowing out the candles and pulling out the candles.

This can't help but remind people of the act of dividing the cake later, as if they were having a farewell dinner...

In fact, what they had today was indeed a farewell dinner, because after this dinner, Gu Muxue's parents were leaving Chang'an;

Zhao Lizhen's flight was at 8pm, and Gu Qingshan was embarrassed for a grown man to live with two girls, so he simply booked a high-speed train ticket back to Hedong.

Xue Rui looked helpless. The little girl was like this sometimes. She could silence everyone with just one word out of the blue.

Lin Ruoxi didn't react yet, she explained: "It's from "Spring Girl", the original text is..."

Xue Rui coughed lightly: "Xiao Lin, are you trying to show off how much you read?"

"Well, I...Boss, I was wrong." Lin Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"Don't light the candles, just eat the cake. But the strawberries on it are all mine." Gu Muxue said as she picked up the fork and put the strawberries on the cake onto a plate.

"Mu Xue, aren't you a little too overbearing?" Xue Rui reached out to grab the strawberry, but the girl poked the back of his hand with a fork.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door. Gu Muxue picked up the strawberry covered with cream and stuffed it into her mouth. She glared at Xue Rui fiercely and threatened him not to touch the strawberries on the cake.

She skipped to the door, pressed the call button on the doorbell and asked, "Who is it?"

Yang Xing's voice came from the speaker at the inner door: "Mr. Zhao, if you don't leave now, you will miss the plane."

Zhao Lizhen smiled and said softly, "Mu Xue, Mom is leaving."

Gu Muxue curled her lips, feeling a little unhappy.

When her parents were here, she was always thinking about when they would leave, but when the time came for them to leave, she felt reluctant to let them go.

"Mu Xue, adults should learn to enjoy solitude. You are already a big child." Xue Rui stood up and said as he went to help Zhao Lizhen carry her luggage.

"Tsk, you have so many moral truths to say, but you can just enjoy your solitude from now on." Gu Muxue said with a snort.

Gu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction. In their relationship, his daughter was the absolute leader.

He said softly, "Mu Xue, there are still a few days left in the holiday, why don't you go home and visit?"

Gu Muxue pouted: "No."

In fact, Gu Muxue felt very tired. With her parents here these days, she had almost no time and space to be alone, so she had to pretend to be as lively and cheerful as before.

In fact, she could only sleep peacefully after taking medicine.

Seeing that Gu Qingshan was about to say something again, Gu Muxue hurriedly found an excuse: "Dad, I have an appointment to celebrate my birthday with my roommate tomorrow."

Gu Qingshan paused for a moment and said, "Don't go to any messy places. Let your Uncle Yang arrange it."

"Yeah." Gu Muxue responded softly and glanced at Lin Ruoxi who was packing things for her father.

In front of her parents, Xue Rui belongs to her alone, and Lin Ruoxi becomes a little follower.

After her parents leave, she will have to face the complicated relationship between the three of them.

She still felt wronged. It was too easy for that bastard Xue Rui!

She needs to plan carefully and make Xue Rui suffer some losses in the future.

“Xiao Rui, please take me to the high-speed railway station.” Gu Qingshan said. He was going to give Xue Rui a few more words of advice on the way. He was afraid that if this continued, his cabbage would be taken away by others.

There will always be a day like this when you grow cabbage, but you can't just watch the field too closely and let the cabbages rot in the field, right?

So he wanted to pen the pigs that stole the cabbage in his yard.

He doesn't want to be a grandfather, he wants to be a great-grandfather.

“Okay.” Xue Rui quickly turned around, took Gu Qingshan’s luggage out, and asked Lin Ruoxi for the car keys.

"Then I'll go and see my mother off." Gu Muxue said, stretching out her little hand.

A few minutes later, Lin Ruoxi was the only one left in the room. Lin Ruoxi said to herself, "Well, I'll go wash the dishes."

……

On the way to the airport, Zhao Lizhen took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Gu Muxue: "Muxue, this is your coming-of-age gift from your mother. You have to be a shareholder in whatever Xiaorui does in the future, so that he will be obedient."

Gu Muxue smiled sweetly and hugged Zhao Lizhen's arm tightly: "Thank you, Mom."

"Are you hiding something from me?" Zhao Lizhen said, poking Gu Muxue's nose.

Gu Muxue lowered her head guiltily. She had concealed too many things...

Zhao Lizhen added: "Lin Ruoxi is a good girl, but she is too tempting to boys, so you have to be careful."

Gu Muxue nodded and said, "Yes."

She had been on guard against Lin Ruoxi for a long time, but what happened in the end?

It's too late to say anything now, Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi can't be separated.

Xue Rui may be able to leave Lin Ruoxi, but Lin Ruoxi cannot live without Xue Rui.

Lin Ruoxi only comes alive when she is with Xue Rui.

……

At the same time, Xue Rui and Gu Qingshan set out on another route to the high-speed railway station.

Gu Qingshan sat in the back seat and watched Xue Rui driving skillfully. The more he watched, the more uncomfortable he felt. Every day before going to bed, he habitually gave Gu Muxue a video call to ask about it. At least until today, he hadn't noticed anything unusual.

“Xiao Rui, your age is the right time to study.” Gu Qingshan said earnestly.

"Uncle Gu is right." Xue Rui sneered slightly.

study?

What was Gu Qingshan doing when he was in college?
Pick up girls and have children!

How dare you talk about him?
Gu Qingshan frowned, he also felt that what he said was not very confident, he continued: "Mu Xue's uncle is a PhD from Cambridge University, her mother is an MBA from MIT..."

Xue Rui felt that the topic was going off topic. Could it be that Gu Qingshan wanted to make some demands on him?

Postgraduate study? Or doctoral study?
So Xue Rui took the initiative and asked, "So, you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Gu Qingshan frowned and subconsciously said: "How old am I?"

Xue Rui said hurriedly: "It is often said that one never stops learning. You are still so young, and you have a bright future ahead of you!"

“You kid, you know what I want to say.” Gu Qingshan was so angry that he laughed.

He wanted to make some requests to Xue Rui, but Xue Rui reacted so quickly that he was almost outwitted.

"Uncle Gu, I'm really not cut out for that." Xue Rui chuckled, and the matter was finally settled.

Gu Qingshan cleared his throat: "Let me be frank, Mu Xue is an only child, I don't want her to be too far away from home."

His words basically tacitly acknowledged the relationship between Xue Rui and Gu Muxue. The main reason was that he felt that Xue Rui was indeed a good candidate in the past few days. He always put his daughter first in everything and even knew how to cook. He was a typical son-in-law.

"I promise to go back to see you once a week." Xue Rui said, thinking that Old Gu had been hiding for so long, it turned out that he wanted to find a son-in-law who would live with the family!
Gu Qingshan said: "Don't interrupt."

"Uncle Gu, there is something you may not know." Xue Rui sighed deeply.

"You said."

"My Xue family has been a single-line family for eighteen generations..."

"From what I understand, you have several grandfathers."

"Forehead……"

While chatting and laughing, the two arrived at Chang'an North Station. Xue Rui accompanied Gu Qingshan all the way to the ticket gate and personally watched him board the high-speed train back home. He was so excited that he could be in the same room with two women today?

The emperor is far away, so he is just a local tyrant!
Just when Xue Rui was daydreaming, Gu Qingshan turned around and said, "Xiao Rui, I will video call you every night from now on."

Xue Rui pretended not to hear and turned to walk out of the station.

Not long after, the phone in his pocket vibrated. It was a message from Gu Qingshan.

Xue Rui couldn't help but twitch his lips after reading it. Lao Gu repeated what he just said via WeChat.

Xue Rui gritted his teeth, typed frantically on the keyboard, and replied with two big words fiercely - Got it!
Gu Qingshan not only took care of him in Hedong, he even used his previous favors to protect him in Changan.

This kind of father-in-law is rare in a century, so what's wrong with making some requests?
He called Lin Ruoxi on WeChat and planned to chat on the phone with her while driving on the road.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi was washing dishes at home. She was quietly waiting for Xue Rui to come home, wondering where Xue Rui would sleep tonight...

Suddenly, she received a video call from Xue Rui. She wiped her hands hurriedly and pressed the answer button.

"Xixi, do you think it's possible to photoshop a video on WeChat?" Xue Rui asked.

Receive a video call from Gu Qingshan every day?
It's not impossible.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

"Photo-shopped video?" Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and moved closer to the phone.

Although Xue Rui cannot look at the camera while driving, Lin Ruoxi thinks Xue Rui looks good from this angle.

Xue Rui thought for a moment and explained: "For example, I am driving now. Can I change my background to the bed in the university dormitory? Is it difficult?"

As far as he knew, this kind of fraud technology existed, but it had not been released yet. However, Xue Rui couldn't wait any longer!

Asking others is too slow, so he has a technical talent next to him.

Lin Ruoxi pondered for a moment: "It's not difficult, I can do it."

"Xixi is awesome, hurry up and get one for me." Xue Rui praised.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes curved. She really wanted Xue Rui to touch her head. She liked to hear Xue Rui praise her.

"Then...what do you want this for?" Lin Ruoxi asked.

She now knows some conversation skills. She just needs to keep talking along Xue Rui's topic. This way, she can chat with Xue Rui for a long time.

Xue Rui felt a headache when he thought of Gu Qing Shan. He looked ahead and suddenly an old man on a tricycle jumped out from the intersection. Xue Rui slowed down suddenly and said helplessly, "I'm fooling my father-in-law who's looking for trouble."

Lin Ruoxi heard Xue Rui slam on the brakes, and the porcelain plate in her hand fell into the sink with a crisp crash.

Xue Rui's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but want to slap himself. He was too distracted while driving and actually called Gu Qingshan his father-in-law.

This kind of thing can be used as a joke to a little girl, but saying it to Lin Ruoxi is a completely different matter.

He said hurriedly: "Xixi, I..."

However, Lin Ruoxi said worriedly: "Rui, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xue Rui felt warm in his heart. The little girl still put him first in everything. He thought about going back and coaxing her.

"You can't be distracted while driving at night. I'll wait for you at home. You drive and I'll hang up the phone this time. Don't be unhappy."

After Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone, she picked up the broken pieces of porcelain in the sink listlessly. Xue Rui's words could not be erased from her mind.

If Uncle Gu is Xue Rui's father-in-law, then Gu Muxue is Xue Rui's wife...

But...what about her?
"Hiss~" Lin Ruoxi's fingers suddenly retracted.

The white fingertips were cut by the broken pieces of the porcelain plate, and a trace of blood slowly flowed away along with the water. Lin Ruoxi watched helplessly as the blood slowly dripped until the blood beads solidified on their own...

She leaned weakly against the cupboard, feeling that she had no strength left in her body.

Lin Ruoxi was very clear that she and Gu Muxue had been in competition from the beginning to the end.

She doesn't want to fight, nor is she qualified to fight.

She opened the wallpaper on her phone and looked at the photo of herself and Xue Rui, and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.

At least Xue Rui is very happy now.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the messy kitchen left by the three people cooking, took a deep breath, and stood up with a "hey", she wanted to give Xue Rui a clean and tidy home.

Even though...she is not the mistress of this house.

"Well, Rui will paint a rosy picture for me." Lin Ruoxi kept repeating this sentence in her heart.

As long as Xue Rui is willing to lie to her, as long as Xue Rui is willing to say it, she is willing to believe it.

……

Xue Rui strolled for a long time in the brightly lit downtown of Chang'an, calculating the approximate time when Gu Muxue would return. After all, Chang'an Airport was far away from the city, and he had to wait until Yang Xing, the laggard, returned before coming back.

It was almost nine o'clock when Xue Rui slowly walked to the door of Gu Muxue's house and pressed the doorbell excitedly.

"Ding dong~"

Inside the room, Lin Ruoxi heard the doorbell ring, and almost in sync with Xiaobu's movements, she pricked up her ears and looked towards the door.

"Here I come!" Lin Ruoxi shouted crisply.

"You're not allowed to go." Gu Muxue tilted her neck, raised her legs and put them on the coffee table, blocking Lin Ruoxi's way.

"Yeah." Lin Ruoxi clenched her hands and sat back on the sofa uneasily.

This is Gu Muxue's home. The power to open the door is of course in Gu Muxue's hands, and the first person to enjoy Xue Rui's hug is of course Gu Muxue.

She can be the second one, as long as she has a share.

But Gu Muxue did not open the door immediately. She decided to leave Xue Rui alone for a while.

She held Lin Ruoxi's wrist and slowly pushed away her tightly clenched fingers:

"Ruoxi, your finger is injured, don't use too much force."

"Well, okay, then go open the door." Lin Ruoxi said softly.

Xue Rui faced the tightly closed door and thought that if this was the door of the little girl's house, Lin Ruoxi would have already put her face into the peephole and looked at him before he even got upstairs, and would drag him in the moment he appeared.

But Gu Muxue is so arrogant...

Want to get in? No way!

How can you get in without saying a few nice words?
He opened his mouth and shouted, "Master Mu Xue, little Ruizi greets you."

Gu Muxue's house has one unit per floor, so there is no need to worry about neighbors coming out.

"Hmph, waiting outside the door, don't you like enjoying solitude?" Gu Muxue shouted.

Xue Rui outside the door thought about it and felt that Gu Muxue seemed to attach great importance to Lin Ruoxi's opinion. He might as well try to ask the little girl for help.

"Xixi, there are so many mosquitoes outside the door." Xue Rui shouted.

"That's great, you can help me shoo away the mosquitoes." Gu Muxue said with a smile. There were not many mosquitoes on the ninth floor, at least she hadn't seen any outside for some time. Xue Rui was fooling her again.

Lin Ruoxi stood up instantly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I...I'll go out and let him in, okay? He wants to sleep with you."

Lin Ruoxi didn’t know what Gu Muxue was thinking. Was she bothered by her?

This is Gu Muxue's home. If Gu Muxue asks her to leave, she has no choice but to leave.

"Don't go, I'm kidding, I'll... I'll let him in." Gu Muxue blushed and whispered. (End of this chapter)
