Chapter 203
Chapter 203 Heart flustered, it’s emotional injury (9)
The car followed by the bodyguard also stopped, quickly got out of the car, and followed.
"Master, please go back to the car."
Concerned about his safety, the bodyguard persuaded him to get back to the car.
Long Lifei didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the corner of the street that no one noticed.
On a pile of tattered and smelly clothes lay a miserable man with his eyes closed, dying.Next to the cloth sat a very small child.
Her thin face was so dirty that she could hardly see her original appearance, her big eyes were extremely watery and clear, and her little hands were also covered with dirt.
It seems that he can't speak yet, but he just blinked his big eyes and was not afraid of Long Lifei at all, just looking at him like this.
Long Lifei stared at her closely - these eyes are so beautiful.
She also stared at Long Lifei intently, as if she had never seen such a beautiful person before, she suddenly laughed, her eyes bent into a bridge.
The bodyguard checked the beggar lying on the ground, "Master, his breath is almost gone."
Long Lifei frowned, and looked at the man lying on the ground, just as the man struggled to open his eyes, the dark eyes were full of vicissitudes, and looked at him eagerly.
What permeates in the eyes is not the longing for life, but a kind of entrustment...
He was dying.
The only worry is this young daughter.
Long Lifei seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
The man also understood what he meant, not because he trusted this strange child too much, but because he had no choice.
His eyelids drooped slowly, and finally he wanted to see his daughter, but he had no strength left, so he stretched out his trembling fingers towards his daughter's face...
The dirty and black palm trembled in the air for a long time, but finally failed to touch the daughter's face, and quickly fell to the ground, right in front of her.
The girl was too young to understand what death was, and thought her father had just fallen asleep again.
The little hand touched Dad's cold and gradually stiff hand, with a look of ignorance and ignorance.
Long Lifei reached out and hugged the messy little girl into his arms, not caring at all that she would dirty his gorgeous clothes.
"Master..."
Both the bodyguard and the driver were stunned. No one thought that Long Lifei, who always didn't like to be near people, would actually pick up such a dirty little girl by the side of the road.
The little girl giggled in his arms, Long Lifei stood up, and said three words coldly, "Deal with it."
"Yes." The three bodyguards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to question his words.
Long Lifei hugged her body and wanted to leave. The little girl seemed to realize that something was wrong, and burst into tears with a "wow", tears streaming down her face.
Long Lifei was not impatient or angry, and stroked her dirty, greasy hair like a grass nest with his fingers, "Don't cry, I will take care of you in the future."
The miraculous thing is that the little girl's crying stopped abruptly, as if she understood his words, her watery eyes were covered with mist, but she refused to shed tears, her mouth was held back, and she seemed as wronged as she could be.
Long Lifei's usual indifferent expression saw her wanting to cry, not daring to cry, and aggrieved, the corners of her mouth curled up for the first time, a faint smile appeared.
The little girl stared blankly.
"Let's go home."
After Long Lifei finished speaking, he carried her into the car.
The driver stood behind and hesitated for a while, and finally got in the car without saying anything, and drove back to the presidential palace.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Long Lifei walked into the hall with the little girl in his arms, Ru Bing saw the dirty little thing in his arms, and exclaimed: "Master, why did you bring back a little beggar?"
Long Lifei paused, seemed to be disgusted with the word "little beggar", his face darkened, "She is not a beggar."
Ru Bing noticed his displeasure, and immediately changed his words, "Master, why did you bring a child back? Where are the parents of the child?"
"Dead." Long Lifei squeezed out two words, his eyes fell on her dirty little face, "Have someone prepare hot water for her to bathe and change her clothes."
"This..." Ru Bing showed a look of perplexity, not everyone can live in the Presidential Palace, the young master brought back a child of unknown origin like this, and seemed to want her to stay, what should I do?
Long Lifei saw through what was behind her hesitation, without saying a word, he was about to go upstairs with the little girl in his arms.
"Master..."
Long Lifei didn't listen to her at all, and walked straight to the stairs.
"Master..."
As soon as Long Pei entered the door, he heard Ru Bing's troubled voice, and his sharp eyes fell on Long Lifei, who was stepping on the first step of the stairs, "Stop."
Long Lifei stopped walking and looked back at him.
When Ru Bing saw Long Pei coming back, she felt relieved, "Your Excellency, the young master brought a child back from outside, and said that both parents are dead."
Long Pei's eyes fell on the little girl he was holding in his arms, his eagle eyes narrowed suddenly, his expression became gloomy, and three words came out of his thin lips, "Throw it out."
The little girl in her arms was frightened by Long Pei's cold eyes, and her dirty little hands grabbed Long Lifei's snow-white collar, her body trembling involuntarily.
Long Lifei hugged her, and met him fearlessly, "No."
He will not throw this little girl out.
"Throw it out." Long Pei walked two steps in, his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth, his eyes were fixed on the dirty little thing in his arms, as if he was looking at an extremely dirty monster.
Disgust, undisguised.
"No." Long Lifei refused again.
Deliberately bringing Ming Xi and Xiao Han together to eat at the same table, and now bringing this dirty thing back, what exactly is he trying to do.
The anger in the chest was pounding, and he was trying his best to suppress it, and his eyes became colder and more menacing, "I'll say it one last time, throw her out."
"I refuse." Long Lifei replied without thinking, holding the little thing in his arms tightly with both hands, treating it like a treasure.
The anger in Long Pei's heart could no longer be suppressed, he almost blurted out a sentence, in fact he already regretted it after saying it.
"The presidential palace is not a shelter for orphans of unknown origin, one after another. There must be a limit to sympathy!"
There was uncontrollable anger and sarcasm in the cold voice.
Long Lifei's face turned pale in an instant, and his blood was gone. Even the arms holding the little girl were trembling, and he almost couldn't hold it steady.
He is an orphan brought back by Bo Yixin.
The identity is unknown, the origin is unknown, even if no one has ever mentioned it in front of him, he knows it in his heart.
It's just that it was the first time Long Pei said it out today, like a blow to the head.
"—Ah Li!" Long Pei spoke, his expression darkened, hesitant to speak.
Before he finished speaking, Ru Bing's face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled: "Husband, man..."
Long Pei's tall and straight figure was shocked, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Mingxi who had just come out of the kitchen, his face was also extremely embarrassing and bloodless.
The cold eyes looked at him, as if looking at a stranger.
Obviously, she heard everything Long Pei said.
"Mingxi..."
"A Li, come here."
Gu Mingxi's cold voice interrupted him, and his eyes shifted indifferently from his face to Long Lifei's.
The hands hanging by the sides were tightly clenched into fists, with blue veins looming, trying to restrain his emotions.
Long Lifei hesitated for a second, and walked past Long Pei with the little girl in front of Gu Mingxi.
"Let's go." Gu Mingxi glanced at the dirty little girl in his arms, but didn't respond.
When the sound fell, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" The cold voice echoed in the hall, overwhelming.
The words just now were nothing more than outrageous words, he didn't intend to hurt Ah Li at all.
What is she going to do?
Gu Mingxi turned a deaf ear and did not stop for a second.Seeing that she didn't listen to him, Long Pei strode after her and grabbed her wrist, "Gu Mingxi!"
"Let go!" Gu Mingxi shook off his hand forcefully this time, her gaze was cold, and she stepped back to distance herself from him.
This subtle movement deeply stimulated Long Pei, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Want him to apologize to Ah Li?
How can you pull yourself off!
"You are too much!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, Gu Mingxi spoke first, no matter how much he disliked the little girl Ah Li brought back from outside, he shouldn't hurt Ah Li by saying that!
Long Pei's face was gloomy, the hand he shook off grabbed a handful of cold air, his thin lips were pursed up to his lips, and when he swept the child in Long Lifei's arms, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
"We all need time to calm down. A Li and I will go back to live in the Haoting Garden." Gu Mingxi left this sentence, reached out to pick up the little girl in A Li's arms and strode out.
Long Lifei followed behind her without saying a word.
Long Pei stood still and did not catch up.
Because I don't know what to say, what's the use of chasing after him!
His eyes fell on the girl in her arms, and the eagle eyes couldn't help turning cold...
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Gu Mingxi took the little girl A Li back to the Haoting Garden, and the servants staying in the Haoting Garden immediately got busy.
After putting the hot water on, Gu Mingxi personally bathed the little girl and washed her hair. There was no suitable clothes for her, so she had to take Yaner's clothes for her first.
Carry her back to Yan'er's bedroom and put her on the bed.
The little girl is not shy at all, she likes them very much, giggling all the time, it seems that the unhappiness just now has been completely forgotten.
Long Lifei wiped her hair with a towel.
After Gu Mingxi made the bed, her eyes fell on the little girl's clean face. She was thin and small, and she felt familiar inexplicably, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Sleep." Long Lifei wiped her hair, put down the towel, picked her up and put her under the thin blanket.
She was obedient and obedient, smiling at him, holding Long Lifei's arms with both hands and closing her eyes, as if slowly falling asleep.
There was silence in the room, Gu Mingxi's face was calm, and he felt a little distressed when he looked at Ah Li.
She could understand why A Li wanted to bring this little girl back. If it wasn't for the master back then, A Li might be one of the little beggars on the street today.
Long Pei was right, Ah Li might have sympathy for this girl, but he shouldn't have said it, and shouldn't have ridiculed Ah Li for being an unknown child.
How much harm this did to Ali.
When the little girl really fell asleep, Gu Mingxi and Long Lifei tiptoed out of the room.
Gu Mingxi closed the door, Long Lifei stood aside and looked at her with a thoughtful expression.
"I will ask someone to buy some suitable clothes for her tomorrow, don't worry."
Long Lifei nodded, hesitated and said, "Actually, you don't need to do this."
There is no need to move here because of the cold war between him and Long Pei.
"He's right, I'm an unidentified child..."
"Fool!" Gu Mingxi's low voice was extremely distressed, interrupted him, and hugged him suddenly, "You are my son."
Everyone calls her "Mommy", not her son, but someone else's child.
How could the unidentified child.
Long Lifei's body froze, and he didn't dare to move after being hugged by her, his eye sockets were swollen with pain.
I don't know who I am, I don't know who my parents are, why I gave birth to him and didn't want him.
How many times he asked repeatedly in his heart, but no one could give him an answer.
If there is a choice, who doesn't want to be loved, cared for, and treated as a treasure by the side of their parents.
He has no right to choose, he can only carry all words that hurt him, such as unknown, wild species, beggar, orphan, etc.
Gu Mingxi hugged him tightly with her arms, feeling so distressed that she couldn't continue.
Either because of the loss of Yan'er, or because she can no longer have her own child in this life, and the appearance of A Li, she cares so much for her and is so kind to her, which makes her unable to move.
It's fine for Long Pei to say anything that hurts others, but he shouldn't hurt an innocent child like this.
Long Lifei's hands hanging beside her froze, and slowly hugged Gu Mingxi's waist. The voice buried in her arms was muffled, and he called out, "Mommy..."
"En." With tears in the corners of Gu Mingxi's eyes and a smile in the corner of his mouth, he agreed softly.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Gu Mingxi took Long Lifei away from the presidential palace, the dinner prepared by the kitchen did not have Ru Bing's order, and the food was delayed.
Long Pei went into the study alone and never came out again.
Ru Bing was not at ease, carried the tray upstairs and knocked on the door of the study.
"Your Excellency, this is tremella pear and lotus seed soup, which is good for your throat."
Long Pei's eyes fell on the document without raising his eyelids.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Ru Bing put it down, and said hesitantly, "The madam cooked it herself this afternoon. She said that she had a sore throat and wanted to drink it, but she actually heard the servant say that you smoked all night and coughed again. Stewed for you."
Long Pei's hand holding the document froze, his eyes raised and fell on the cup of white fungus, pear and lotus seed soup.
Ru Bing knew that they cared about each other in their hearts, but they were too proud, and no one could take the initiative to tell the truth.
If I don't tell Madam's heart again, I'm afraid Your Excellency still doesn't understand Madam's heart.
After a long time, Long Pei didn't respond or speak.Ru Bing sighed secretly, leaned over and stepped back.
Long Pei stared at the soup all the time, stretched out his hand to take it in front of him, untied the lid of the cup, and there was a fresh fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance was elegant.
The pears are cut into uniform sizes, and the soup is transparent and thick. It can be seen that the people who cook it are very careful.
Before she was clearly angry with herself but she was still willing to wash her hands and make soup...
Thinking of what he said to A Li before, regret flashed from the bottom of his eyes.
Even if Ah Li is wrong, his own words are a bit heavy for a child.
Sighing helplessly, she picked up a spoon and ate the soup she stewed by herself, and ate all the red dates that she usually didn't like.
A cup full of soup, he drank not a drop left.
*
In the early morning, Gu Mingxi got up, Long Lifei got up earlier than her, and was already dressing the little girl.
Yan'er's clothes are a little too big, and it's funny hanging on her body.
The servant brought breakfast, and the three of them sat at the dining table. The little girl obviously didn't know how to use tableware. When she saw the food, her eyes lit up immediately, and she reached out to grab it.
"Impossible!" Long Lifei immediately held her hand, shaking his head as if nothing, the light in his eyes was sharp and serious.
The little girl looked at him suspiciously, she seemed a little afraid, her mouth was flattened, like a child who did something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by the teacher, tears were rolling in her eyes.
Long Lifei stuffed the spoon into her hand, picked it up and demonstrated it to her, "You should eat like this..."
The little girl fiddled with the spoon several times, but she couldn't hold it like him.
Long Lifei stretched out his hand to tell her how to take it and how to eat it. It was a bit exhausting, but the little girl listened to him very much, no matter what he did, she obediently followed and studied hard.
Looking at this scene, Gu Mingxi couldn't help showing a shallow smile on her thin lips. It would be great if Yan'er was here, A Li would definitely love her very much.
Under Long Lifei's patient teaching, the little girl barely learned to eat breakfast with a spoon, even though it was all over her clothes.
Gu Mingxi hugged her and sat on the sofa, combed her hair carefully, braided two small braids and placed them on both sides, which was extremely cute.
"I've sent someone to bring clothes over, but what's her name?" Gu Mingxi asked Long Lifei who was sitting opposite, she couldn't even have a name.
Long Lifei put down the book in his hand, glanced at the blue sky outside the window, and then at her eyes, they were so clear that they could reflect others clearly.
"——Lan." The voice paused, looking into her clear eyes, as if seeing the dawn of life, "Lan Mufei, her nickname is Feifei."
——Crimson.
Dai Mei frowned lightly, why did she feel so familiar?
Is it a coincidence?
"Lan Mufei, it sounds nice." She smiled lightly, looked down at the little girl, and played with her little braid with her fingers, "From now on, you will be called Lan Mufei, the name my brother gave you, Feifei."
Lan Mufei showed a bright smile, she seemed to like the name very much, she showed her neat and white teeth to Long Lifei, and there was a cute little dimple at the corner of her mouth.
"I'm going to trouble you to take care of her, I should go to school." Long Lifei glanced at the time on his watch, he was going to class.
"Okay, I'm free anyway, and I'm not so lonely with Feifei." Gu Mingxi pursed her lips and showed a faint smile.
Looking at Lan Mufei's innocent smile, Long Lifei felt relieved and handed her over to Ming Xi to take care of her.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Office of the President.
"It has been found out. Three months ago, the man was seriously ill and had no money for treatment. He had been living on the street with his child. Yesterday, the young master passed by and saw them, so he brought the child back. The man is dead."
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Long Pei frowned very tightly, it was really just a coincidence.
Even if it was a coincidence, he couldn't tolerate that child staying in the presidential palace.
But Ah Li——
The blue veins on the forehead are looming, which is really a tricky thing to deal with.
Especially after saying that sentence, both Ah Li and Ming Xi were angry.
Bai Yan heard Nan Si say that the wife and the young master went back to Haoting Garden last night, and seemed very angry.
"Your Excellency, Huo Linmo will come tomorrow, how should we deal with this matter?" Huo Linmo will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he will definitely mess around when he comes, especially when he is accompanied by a wife who grows up with his wife. Exactly the same woman.
It was obvious that he wanted his wife to see it.
At this time, Madam and Your Excellency are angry, which really adds to the chaos.
Long Pei's fingers curled up slightly on the table, and he gently clasped the table, "Release the news that Huo Linmo came to Country C, and you go to Haoting Garden in the afternoon."
As soon as the news of Huo Linmo's arrival came out, he, the president and the president's wife, would naturally greet him in person.
No matter how reluctant Ming Xi was, as the president's wife, she would not disregard the overall situation.
In this way, she returned to the presidential palace logically.
*
Long Lifei stayed at school at noon, and Gu Mingxi continued to teach Feifei to eat with a spoon for lunch. Feifei has a strong learning ability and is much more proficient than in the morning.
Gu Mingxi doesn't need to bother, he can eat by himself.
She changed into the clothes sent by the servant, and she wore the white skirt like a little princess.
After Gu Mingxi coaxed her to sleep, as soon as she closed the door, she heard the servant whisper that Mr. Bai had come.
——Bai Yan!
Gu Mingxi went downstairs, Bai Yan was sitting on the sofa, seeing her going downstairs from the corner of the eye, she immediately stood up, "Mingxi."
"Sit." Gu Mingxi walked in front of him, her posture was very casual, there were not so many rules and particularities between them.
After serving the tea, the servant retreated.
Gu Mingxi seemed to have guessed the purpose of Bai Yan's visit. After sitting on the sofa, he didn't say a word, and picked up the teacup and drank the black tea gracefully.
Bai Yan felt so helpless, the couple were both smart people, but they didn't use their smartness in the right place, only to torment outsiders like them.
"Huo Linmo will arrive in country C tomorrow, and the presidential palace has made preparations to welcome him."
"En." Gu Mingxi nodded, looking indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him.
Embarrassed by her reaction, Bai Yan sighed helplessly, "The president and the presidential palace will greet you in person, move back to live! Ming Xi."
Calling her by name meant that he was trying to persuade her as a friend.
Gu Mingxi put down the teacup, overlapped her slender legs, leaned back, and said two words, "No."
"—Ming Xi." Bai Yan felt a little headache.
"There are many people who welcome Huo Linmo, many of them are me." Gu Mingxi didn't want to go back to the presidential palace, it was obviously his fault, why should she go back.
It's okay to ask her to go back, at least let him come over and apologize to Ah Li.
"Mingxi, he's the president." You can't make your Excellency bow his head and apologize to Long Lifei, it's too embarrassing.
"So what?" He can do whatever he wants, can he say that to hurt Ah Li?
"I'm in charge of this matter, if something goes wrong—" Bai Bai hesitated to speak, and changed the topic from another angle.
Wen Ya's expression was gloomy and gloomy, her voice was a little lonely, "Can't you just treat it as helping me? Ming Xi!"
The tone fell, and the dark pupils looked at her sincerely, begging.
Gu Mingxi was dazed by his begging eyes, and a little shaken.
"Mingxi, don't forget, you still owed me a favor back then..." Bai Yan caught the hesitation in her eyes, spoke again, and chased after the victory.
"Okay." Gu Mingxi felt so sorry when he heard what he mentioned, Bai Yan said so, and if he didn't agree, he couldn't justify it.Thin lips pursed, "I'll go back tomorrow morning, Ah Li will stay here."
When Bai Yan heard her say this, his tense expression relaxed, "Okay." He stood up, "I still have something to go back to the Presidential Palace."
Gu Mingxi stood up and sent him to the door, seeing Nan Si who was waiting for Bai Yan outside, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Bai Yan?"
"Ok?"
"Love yourself more." Gu Mingxi looked at him, it had nothing to do with Fengyue, but only sincerity.Bai Yan is a confidant to her.
When she was about to leave Country C, if Bai Yan hadn't risked her help, she would have been unable to escape.
Bai Yan was stunned, understood what she meant, and subconsciously glanced at Nan Si, "I know."
Knowing it is one thing, but being able to do it is another.
Gu Mingxi knew that Nan Si's wife was pregnant, and also knew that Bai Yan had always had the idea of waiting for Nan Si to be 40 years old.
Distressed Bai Yan, but could do nothing.
Bai Yanqiao walked back to the car, pulled the co-pilot's seat and got in.
Nan Si nodded to Gu Mingxi through the windshield as a greeting, and from the corner of his eye fell on Bai Yan who was buckling up his seat belt, "What did Madam tell you?"
Judging by Bai Yan's expression, Madam should agree to go back to the presidential palace, but when they came out, Madam gave him a strange look.
"It's nothing, let's go back." Bai Yan said lightly, holding the seat belt tightly with his fingers, he understood Gu Mingxi's meaning.
Understand, can't do it, this is the most desperate and sad thing.
Nan Si didn't say much, just started the car and left Haoting Garden.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Because of the need to meet Huo Linmo, the South Department had to adjust the security of the presidential palace, and stayed in the presidential palace until late at night.
Bai Yan was also very busy helping Long Pei deal with the aftermath, but with Ban Xia's help, it would be almost eleven o'clock.
"Mr. Bai, don't you want to go back?" Lu Banxia turned off the computer, stood up, and knocked on the door of Bai Yan's open office.
Bai Yan looked at the time, it was getting late, and things were almost done, but he should still be in the presidential palace.
"I still have something to deal with, you go back first." Selfishly want to stay, even if it's just to be with him for a while.
Lu Banxia's calm expression was the same, she nodded, leaned forward and left.
Seeing Ban Xia leave, Bai Yan packed up his things, turned off the computer, took the key to lock the door, and went to find Nan Si.
Nan Si confirmed the monitoring problem with the bodyguards in the monitoring room, and saw that he immediately put down what he was doing and handed it over to his subordinates, "Are you done?"
"En." Bai Yan nodded, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the monitor, "How long do you have to do it?"
"There are still a few dead ends that have not been resolved."
"You are busy with your work. I don't want to go back now. I will go together when you finish."
"Okay." Nan Si didn't hesitate, and gave him a stool to sit aside, while he immediately continued to confirm all safety issues with his subordinates through the walkie-talkie.
Bai Yan sat on the sidelines and watched him earnestly work. Not only did he not feel bored, but he found it very interesting.
In life, Nan Si is a big boss, but in work, he is serious and meticulous, demanding perfection.
In the blink of an eye, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Nan Si finally dealt with all the problems, and the others left almost the same, or they just stayed at their posts, and the presidential palace was extremely quiet late at night.
"Now I can't sleep for a few hours when I go back." Nan Si frowned and looked at his watch, then looked at Bai Yan helplessly.
"Otherwise, go to my office, there seems to be beer." Bai Yan stood up, and Mo Mei was slightly tired. After waiting for him for four hours, he didn't have a single complaint.
Nan Si nodded.
In the past, if they stayed too late and couldn't go back, they would spend the night in Bai Yan's office and continue working at dawn.
Bai Yan opened the door with the key, and the sensor light turned on naturally. When he walked to the desk and saw the white plastic bag, he asked strangely, "What is this?"
He didn't remember leaving.
Open the plastic bag, it is a takeaway that has cooled down.
"How can there be food?" Bai Yan looked suspicious, he obviously locked the door before leaving, no one should be able to come in!
Nan Si went straight to the small refrigerator next to the bookshelf in his office, took out two cans of beer and handed them to him, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Yan came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that he had given Ban Xia the key before, and she might have bought it for himself.A faint smile escaped from the thin lips, Ban Xia has a warm face and heart, which is still very good.
Seeing the food on the table, Nan Si was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.
The two of them sat down and drank beer with the cold food. One of them occupied half of the sofa, with a slight distance between them, but their fingers clasped together at some point.
Tight, as if they couldn't be separated.
Half asleep and half awake, Bai Yan felt that Nan Si seemed to be covering himself with his coat.
The movement was very light, like a feather floating from the sky, across his heart.
Warm, unbeatable.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Gu Mingxi got up early in the morning and told his servants to take care of A Li and Fei Fei, while he went back to the Presidential Palace by car.
There was still an hour before Huo Linmo's flight landed, and it was still half an hour away to the presidential palace.
Long Pei didn't plan to go to the airport to pick him up, so giving him face, going to the gate of the Presidential Palace is considered to be giving Huo Linmo enough face.
Gu Mingxi changed into formal clothes, scattered her long hair on her chest casually, and then went to the office building of the Presidential Palace to meet Long Pei.
Long Pei got off the elevator, and as soon as the door opened, the eyes of the two met at the same level, and time seemed to have stopped.
For a while, no one spoke.
Ban Xia glanced at Bai Yan next to Long Pei.
Bai Yan looked at his watch and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, there are still 10 minutes. Ban Xia and I will go out first."
Long Pei's eyes stayed on Gu Mingxi's face, and he nodded slightly.
Bai Yan and Ban Xia bowed to Gu Mingxi, and left one after another tacitly.
Gu Mingxi looked at him a little awkwardly. When he was about to turn around and leave, Long Pei grabbed her wrist and led her into the elevator, and directly pressed against the cold elevator wall.
"What are you doing?" Gu Mingxi tried to struggle.
Long Pei bowed his head and his forehead was almost touching her forehead, his thin lips were pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, the breath he exhaled sprayed on her neck, which was cool.
Gu Mingxi's head was turned to one side, and she was worried that if she looked at him, she would touch his lips.
In the silent space, his heartbeat and breath are right next to his ears, echoing very clearly.
"I didn't mean that." After a long time, he squeezed out this sentence awkwardly.
Well, is that an explanation?
Gu Mingxi's eyes slanted to his stern face...
Long Pei's hands landed on her face, and without any force, he gently turned her face to meet his gaze, and the tip of his nose was close to hers, "I'll tell you later in the evening."
The warm breath and low magnetic sound disturbed her, and she frowned slightly, "It's time to go out."
Long Pei seemed to be aware of the blush at the base of her ears, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was fleeting.
It seemed that the air was not so thin all of a sudden, Gu Mingxi took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood.
Long Pei looked at him, and stretched out his arm in front of her...
Gu Mingxi looked at him for a second, reached out his arm to hold his arm, and the two walked out of the elevator.
*
At the gate of the Presidential Palace, a black car stopped, and the cars behind it also stopped.
Huo Linmo, who got out of the car, was dressed in a suit, his broken hair glistened in the sun, his playful peach blossom eyes fell on Long Pei and Gu Mingxi immediately, and his thin lips curled into meaningful arcs.
"Welcome to visit the Presidential Palace of Country C again." Long Pei, as the host, extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"It's an honor to be your guest." Huo Linmo reached out to hold his hand, speaking to Long Pei, but kept staring at the woman beside him, "Ma'am, we meet again."
Gu Mingxi only felt that his eyes and tone were a bit strange. Since there were many people present, he shook hands with him calmly, "I'm glad you came to country C. I hope it was a pleasant journey."
"With a beautiful woman like Madam, I don't think this journey will be boring." Huo Linmo curled his lips, and his smile became deeper and deeper, unable to be explored.
Gu Mingxi didn't understand, she just maintained her identity and stood beside Long Pei gracefully, with a faint smile on her lips.
After a few pleasantries, they were welcomed into the presidential palace.
The room Ru Bing arranged for Huo Linmo was on the east side of the third floor. It was very quiet, with good sightlines and light.
Huo Linmo will take a short break in the morning and have lunch in his room. In the afternoon, he will have a simple conversation with Long Pei. In the evening, at Huo Linmo's request, there will be no complicated and lengthy state banquet, just a simple dinner.
Gu Mingxi went back to the room after playing with Long Pei. As long as she didn't leave the room, she basically couldn't touch Huo Linmo.
What surprised her was that Huo Linmo didn't take the initiative to look for her all day, which was a novelty.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
At the dinner, Gu Mingxi changed into a black evening dress, and even took out jewelry that she didn't usually wear on her neck to show respect.
When Long Pei came in, she was wearing the diamond necklace he gave to the mirror, but she hadn't buttoned it several times, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes.
He stepped forward, took the necklace and put it on for her.
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Mingxi saw his handsome facial features, her sharp eyes were focused.
This man seems to be naturally elegant and good-looking no matter what he does.
"Dinner, you have to be mentally prepared." Long Pei stood behind her, looking sharply at her watery eyes in the mirror.
Gu Mingxi suddenly became vigilant, "Why?" What will happen?
Long Pei didn't give a specific explanation, and put his hands on her shoulders to fiddle with her long hair, "You'll understand in a while."
Gu Mingxi didn't ask too much, but was led downstairs by his hand full of doubts.
The gorgeous crystal lighting seems to have coated them with a layer of golden light, which is beautiful and dreamy.
Before they sat down, Huo Linmo also went downstairs. Although he was dressed in a neat suit, his usual unruly expression did not give people the slightest sense of rigor, nor the solemnity of a politician.
"Madam is so beautiful tonight." Huo Linmo curled his lips with a bright smile.
"Thank you." Gu Mingxi only felt that there was something wrong with his eyes, "President Huo, please sit down."
Huo Linmo was not polite at all, and sat down on his buttocks, "We are old friends, don't be so stiff. Where are Bai Ziyan and Qin Nansi? Ask them to sit down together, it's so lively."
Gu Mingxi didn't speak, but looked at Long Pei.
Long Pei just gave Ru Bing a look, Ru Bing Xin understood, and immediately notified Bai Yan and Nan Si to come in.
Huo Linmo picked up his cup and took a sip of water. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Yan and Nan Si walking in from the door, with evil smiles on the corners of their mouths.
When Bai Yan and Nan Si took their seats one after another, Huo Linmo put down his cup and said with a smile, "Since we are all friends, if you don't mind a friend I brought along, let's just sit down."
friend?Who can he bring?
Xiaobai's name flashed in Gu Mingxi's mind, is it Xiaobai?
"Naturally." Long Pei seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen, and remained calm.He just held Gu Mingxi's hand a little tighter——
Gu Mingxi was puzzled, why did he think everyone was weird?
Huo Linmo clapped his palms——
A white figure stepped out from the second staircase, her steps were very small, her skirt was too long, she held the skirt with one hand, while the other hand landed on the guardrail, and she descended lightly.
The moment Gu Mingxi shot his gaze, he was completely stunned...
When one day, you suddenly see a person who looks exactly like yourself, what will you do?
Short black hair, long white dress, identical facial features, face...
Gu Mingxi felt as if she was having a dream or looking in a mirror.
It's just that the person in the mirror has short hair and wears a white skirt...
The woman in the white dress was also shocked when she saw her, shock and disbelief flashed across her beautiful eyes.
pace, stop.
Seeing the shocked expressions of Gu Mingxi and the others, Huo Linmo smiled, as if he had achieved his goal.
He got up, walked to her side, and passed his hand in front of her.
She put her hand in Huo Linmo's and was led to the dining table by him, her eyes were always on Gu Mingxi.
The same goes for Gu Mingxi.
I was almost engrossed, and I couldn't help standing up...
How can this be?
In this world, how can there be two people who look exactly the same?
Whether it is the eyes, nose, lips, or chin, there is nothing alike.
"She, who is she?" The woman standing at Huo Linmo looked blankly at Huo Linmo with a blank expression on her face.
"I should ask you this question." Gu Mingxi pursed her lips and looked at her sharply, "Who are you?"
How could someone look exactly like me? Moreover, Long Pei and Bai Yan were not surprised at all, they seemed to have known it for a long time.
What the hell does this happen?
(End of this chapter)
The car followed by the bodyguard also stopped, quickly got out of the car, and followed.
"Master, please go back to the car."
Concerned about his safety, the bodyguard persuaded him to get back to the car.
Long Lifei didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the corner of the street that no one noticed.
On a pile of tattered and smelly clothes lay a miserable man with his eyes closed, dying.Next to the cloth sat a very small child.
Her thin face was so dirty that she could hardly see her original appearance, her big eyes were extremely watery and clear, and her little hands were also covered with dirt.
It seems that he can't speak yet, but he just blinked his big eyes and was not afraid of Long Lifei at all, just looking at him like this.
Long Lifei stared at her closely - these eyes are so beautiful.
She also stared at Long Lifei intently, as if she had never seen such a beautiful person before, she suddenly laughed, her eyes bent into a bridge.
The bodyguard checked the beggar lying on the ground, "Master, his breath is almost gone."
Long Lifei frowned, and looked at the man lying on the ground, just as the man struggled to open his eyes, the dark eyes were full of vicissitudes, and looked at him eagerly.
What permeates in the eyes is not the longing for life, but a kind of entrustment...
He was dying.
The only worry is this young daughter.
Long Lifei seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
The man also understood what he meant, not because he trusted this strange child too much, but because he had no choice.
His eyelids drooped slowly, and finally he wanted to see his daughter, but he had no strength left, so he stretched out his trembling fingers towards his daughter's face...
The dirty and black palm trembled in the air for a long time, but finally failed to touch the daughter's face, and quickly fell to the ground, right in front of her.
The girl was too young to understand what death was, and thought her father had just fallen asleep again.
The little hand touched Dad's cold and gradually stiff hand, with a look of ignorance and ignorance.
Long Lifei reached out and hugged the messy little girl into his arms, not caring at all that she would dirty his gorgeous clothes.
"Master..."
Both the bodyguard and the driver were stunned. No one thought that Long Lifei, who always didn't like to be near people, would actually pick up such a dirty little girl by the side of the road.
The little girl giggled in his arms, Long Lifei stood up, and said three words coldly, "Deal with it."
"Yes." The three bodyguards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to question his words.
Long Lifei hugged her body and wanted to leave. The little girl seemed to realize that something was wrong, and burst into tears with a "wow", tears streaming down her face.
Long Lifei was not impatient or angry, and stroked her dirty, greasy hair like a grass nest with his fingers, "Don't cry, I will take care of you in the future."
The miraculous thing is that the little girl's crying stopped abruptly, as if she understood his words, her watery eyes were covered with mist, but she refused to shed tears, her mouth was held back, and she seemed as wronged as she could be.
Long Lifei's usual indifferent expression saw her wanting to cry, not daring to cry, and aggrieved, the corners of her mouth curled up for the first time, a faint smile appeared.
The little girl stared blankly.
"Let's go home."
After Long Lifei finished speaking, he carried her into the car.
The driver stood behind and hesitated for a while, and finally got in the car without saying anything, and drove back to the presidential palace.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Long Lifei walked into the hall with the little girl in his arms, Ru Bing saw the dirty little thing in his arms, and exclaimed: "Master, why did you bring back a little beggar?"
Long Lifei paused, seemed to be disgusted with the word "little beggar", his face darkened, "She is not a beggar."
Ru Bing noticed his displeasure, and immediately changed his words, "Master, why did you bring a child back? Where are the parents of the child?"
"Dead." Long Lifei squeezed out two words, his eyes fell on her dirty little face, "Have someone prepare hot water for her to bathe and change her clothes."
"This..." Ru Bing showed a look of perplexity, not everyone can live in the Presidential Palace, the young master brought back a child of unknown origin like this, and seemed to want her to stay, what should I do?
Long Lifei saw through what was behind her hesitation, without saying a word, he was about to go upstairs with the little girl in his arms.
"Master..."
Long Lifei didn't listen to her at all, and walked straight to the stairs.
"Master..."
As soon as Long Pei entered the door, he heard Ru Bing's troubled voice, and his sharp eyes fell on Long Lifei, who was stepping on the first step of the stairs, "Stop."
Long Lifei stopped walking and looked back at him.
When Ru Bing saw Long Pei coming back, she felt relieved, "Your Excellency, the young master brought a child back from outside, and said that both parents are dead."
Long Pei's eyes fell on the little girl he was holding in his arms, his eagle eyes narrowed suddenly, his expression became gloomy, and three words came out of his thin lips, "Throw it out."
The little girl in her arms was frightened by Long Pei's cold eyes, and her dirty little hands grabbed Long Lifei's snow-white collar, her body trembling involuntarily.
Long Lifei hugged her, and met him fearlessly, "No."
He will not throw this little girl out.
"Throw it out." Long Pei walked two steps in, his voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth, his eyes were fixed on the dirty little thing in his arms, as if he was looking at an extremely dirty monster.
Disgust, undisguised.
"No." Long Lifei refused again.
Deliberately bringing Ming Xi and Xiao Han together to eat at the same table, and now bringing this dirty thing back, what exactly is he trying to do.
The anger in the chest was pounding, and he was trying his best to suppress it, and his eyes became colder and more menacing, "I'll say it one last time, throw her out."
"I refuse." Long Lifei replied without thinking, holding the little thing in his arms tightly with both hands, treating it like a treasure.
The anger in Long Pei's heart could no longer be suppressed, he almost blurted out a sentence, in fact he already regretted it after saying it.
"The presidential palace is not a shelter for orphans of unknown origin, one after another. There must be a limit to sympathy!"
There was uncontrollable anger and sarcasm in the cold voice.
Long Lifei's face turned pale in an instant, and his blood was gone. Even the arms holding the little girl were trembling, and he almost couldn't hold it steady.
He is an orphan brought back by Bo Yixin.
The identity is unknown, the origin is unknown, even if no one has ever mentioned it in front of him, he knows it in his heart.
It's just that it was the first time Long Pei said it out today, like a blow to the head.
"—Ah Li!" Long Pei spoke, his expression darkened, hesitant to speak.
Before he finished speaking, Ru Bing's face changed suddenly, and his voice trembled: "Husband, man..."
Long Pei's tall and straight figure was shocked, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Mingxi who had just come out of the kitchen, his face was also extremely embarrassing and bloodless.
The cold eyes looked at him, as if looking at a stranger.
Obviously, she heard everything Long Pei said.
"Mingxi..."
"A Li, come here."
Gu Mingxi's cold voice interrupted him, and his eyes shifted indifferently from his face to Long Lifei's.
The hands hanging by the sides were tightly clenched into fists, with blue veins looming, trying to restrain his emotions.
Long Lifei hesitated for a second, and walked past Long Pei with the little girl in front of Gu Mingxi.
"Let's go." Gu Mingxi glanced at the dirty little girl in his arms, but didn't respond.
When the sound fell, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" The cold voice echoed in the hall, overwhelming.
The words just now were nothing more than outrageous words, he didn't intend to hurt Ah Li at all.
What is she going to do?
Gu Mingxi turned a deaf ear and did not stop for a second.Seeing that she didn't listen to him, Long Pei strode after her and grabbed her wrist, "Gu Mingxi!"
"Let go!" Gu Mingxi shook off his hand forcefully this time, her gaze was cold, and she stepped back to distance herself from him.
This subtle movement deeply stimulated Long Pei, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Want him to apologize to Ah Li?
How can you pull yourself off!
"You are too much!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, Gu Mingxi spoke first, no matter how much he disliked the little girl Ah Li brought back from outside, he shouldn't hurt Ah Li by saying that!
Long Pei's face was gloomy, the hand he shook off grabbed a handful of cold air, his thin lips were pursed up to his lips, and when he swept the child in Long Lifei's arms, he swallowed it back into his stomach.
"We all need time to calm down. A Li and I will go back to live in the Haoting Garden." Gu Mingxi left this sentence, reached out to pick up the little girl in A Li's arms and strode out.
Long Lifei followed behind her without saying a word.
Long Pei stood still and did not catch up.
Because I don't know what to say, what's the use of chasing after him!
His eyes fell on the girl in her arms, and the eagle eyes couldn't help turning cold...
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Gu Mingxi took the little girl A Li back to the Haoting Garden, and the servants staying in the Haoting Garden immediately got busy.
After putting the hot water on, Gu Mingxi personally bathed the little girl and washed her hair. There was no suitable clothes for her, so she had to take Yaner's clothes for her first.
Carry her back to Yan'er's bedroom and put her on the bed.
The little girl is not shy at all, she likes them very much, giggling all the time, it seems that the unhappiness just now has been completely forgotten.
Long Lifei wiped her hair with a towel.
After Gu Mingxi made the bed, her eyes fell on the little girl's clean face. She was thin and small, and she felt familiar inexplicably, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Sleep." Long Lifei wiped her hair, put down the towel, picked her up and put her under the thin blanket.
She was obedient and obedient, smiling at him, holding Long Lifei's arms with both hands and closing her eyes, as if slowly falling asleep.
There was silence in the room, Gu Mingxi's face was calm, and he felt a little distressed when he looked at Ah Li.
She could understand why A Li wanted to bring this little girl back. If it wasn't for the master back then, A Li might be one of the little beggars on the street today.
Long Pei was right, Ah Li might have sympathy for this girl, but he shouldn't have said it, and shouldn't have ridiculed Ah Li for being an unknown child.
How much harm this did to Ali.
When the little girl really fell asleep, Gu Mingxi and Long Lifei tiptoed out of the room.
Gu Mingxi closed the door, Long Lifei stood aside and looked at her with a thoughtful expression.
"I will ask someone to buy some suitable clothes for her tomorrow, don't worry."
Long Lifei nodded, hesitated and said, "Actually, you don't need to do this."
There is no need to move here because of the cold war between him and Long Pei.
"He's right, I'm an unidentified child..."
"Fool!" Gu Mingxi's low voice was extremely distressed, interrupted him, and hugged him suddenly, "You are my son."
Everyone calls her "Mommy", not her son, but someone else's child.
How could the unidentified child.
Long Lifei's body froze, and he didn't dare to move after being hugged by her, his eye sockets were swollen with pain.
I don't know who I am, I don't know who my parents are, why I gave birth to him and didn't want him.
How many times he asked repeatedly in his heart, but no one could give him an answer.
If there is a choice, who doesn't want to be loved, cared for, and treated as a treasure by the side of their parents.
He has no right to choose, he can only carry all words that hurt him, such as unknown, wild species, beggar, orphan, etc.
Gu Mingxi hugged him tightly with her arms, feeling so distressed that she couldn't continue.
Either because of the loss of Yan'er, or because she can no longer have her own child in this life, and the appearance of A Li, she cares so much for her and is so kind to her, which makes her unable to move.
It's fine for Long Pei to say anything that hurts others, but he shouldn't hurt an innocent child like this.
Long Lifei's hands hanging beside her froze, and slowly hugged Gu Mingxi's waist. The voice buried in her arms was muffled, and he called out, "Mommy..."
"En." With tears in the corners of Gu Mingxi's eyes and a smile in the corner of his mouth, he agreed softly.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Gu Mingxi took Long Lifei away from the presidential palace, the dinner prepared by the kitchen did not have Ru Bing's order, and the food was delayed.
Long Pei went into the study alone and never came out again.
Ru Bing was not at ease, carried the tray upstairs and knocked on the door of the study.
"Your Excellency, this is tremella pear and lotus seed soup, which is good for your throat."
Long Pei's eyes fell on the document without raising his eyelids.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Ru Bing put it down, and said hesitantly, "The madam cooked it herself this afternoon. She said that she had a sore throat and wanted to drink it, but she actually heard the servant say that you smoked all night and coughed again. Stewed for you."
Long Pei's hand holding the document froze, his eyes raised and fell on the cup of white fungus, pear and lotus seed soup.
Ru Bing knew that they cared about each other in their hearts, but they were too proud, and no one could take the initiative to tell the truth.
If I don't tell Madam's heart again, I'm afraid Your Excellency still doesn't understand Madam's heart.
After a long time, Long Pei didn't respond or speak.Ru Bing sighed secretly, leaned over and stepped back.
Long Pei stared at the soup all the time, stretched out his hand to take it in front of him, untied the lid of the cup, and there was a fresh fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance was elegant.
The pears are cut into uniform sizes, and the soup is transparent and thick. It can be seen that the people who cook it are very careful.
Before she was clearly angry with herself but she was still willing to wash her hands and make soup...
Thinking of what he said to A Li before, regret flashed from the bottom of his eyes.
Even if Ah Li is wrong, his own words are a bit heavy for a child.
Sighing helplessly, she picked up a spoon and ate the soup she stewed by herself, and ate all the red dates that she usually didn't like.
A cup full of soup, he drank not a drop left.
*
In the early morning, Gu Mingxi got up, Long Lifei got up earlier than her, and was already dressing the little girl.
Yan'er's clothes are a little too big, and it's funny hanging on her body.
The servant brought breakfast, and the three of them sat at the dining table. The little girl obviously didn't know how to use tableware. When she saw the food, her eyes lit up immediately, and she reached out to grab it.
"Impossible!" Long Lifei immediately held her hand, shaking his head as if nothing, the light in his eyes was sharp and serious.
The little girl looked at him suspiciously, she seemed a little afraid, her mouth was flattened, like a child who did something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by the teacher, tears were rolling in her eyes.
Long Lifei stuffed the spoon into her hand, picked it up and demonstrated it to her, "You should eat like this..."
The little girl fiddled with the spoon several times, but she couldn't hold it like him.
Long Lifei stretched out his hand to tell her how to take it and how to eat it. It was a bit exhausting, but the little girl listened to him very much, no matter what he did, she obediently followed and studied hard.
Looking at this scene, Gu Mingxi couldn't help showing a shallow smile on her thin lips. It would be great if Yan'er was here, A Li would definitely love her very much.
Under Long Lifei's patient teaching, the little girl barely learned to eat breakfast with a spoon, even though it was all over her clothes.
Gu Mingxi hugged her and sat on the sofa, combed her hair carefully, braided two small braids and placed them on both sides, which was extremely cute.
"I've sent someone to bring clothes over, but what's her name?" Gu Mingxi asked Long Lifei who was sitting opposite, she couldn't even have a name.
Long Lifei put down the book in his hand, glanced at the blue sky outside the window, and then at her eyes, they were so clear that they could reflect others clearly.
"——Lan." The voice paused, looking into her clear eyes, as if seeing the dawn of life, "Lan Mufei, her nickname is Feifei."
——Crimson.
Dai Mei frowned lightly, why did she feel so familiar?
Is it a coincidence?
"Lan Mufei, it sounds nice." She smiled lightly, looked down at the little girl, and played with her little braid with her fingers, "From now on, you will be called Lan Mufei, the name my brother gave you, Feifei."
Lan Mufei showed a bright smile, she seemed to like the name very much, she showed her neat and white teeth to Long Lifei, and there was a cute little dimple at the corner of her mouth.
"I'm going to trouble you to take care of her, I should go to school." Long Lifei glanced at the time on his watch, he was going to class.
"Okay, I'm free anyway, and I'm not so lonely with Feifei." Gu Mingxi pursed her lips and showed a faint smile.
Looking at Lan Mufei's innocent smile, Long Lifei felt relieved and handed her over to Ming Xi to take care of her.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Office of the President.
"It has been found out. Three months ago, the man was seriously ill and had no money for treatment. He had been living on the street with his child. Yesterday, the young master passed by and saw them, so he brought the child back. The man is dead."
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Long Pei frowned very tightly, it was really just a coincidence.
Even if it was a coincidence, he couldn't tolerate that child staying in the presidential palace.
But Ah Li——
The blue veins on the forehead are looming, which is really a tricky thing to deal with.
Especially after saying that sentence, both Ah Li and Ming Xi were angry.
Bai Yan heard Nan Si say that the wife and the young master went back to Haoting Garden last night, and seemed very angry.
"Your Excellency, Huo Linmo will come tomorrow, how should we deal with this matter?" Huo Linmo will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he will definitely mess around when he comes, especially when he is accompanied by a wife who grows up with his wife. Exactly the same woman.
It was obvious that he wanted his wife to see it.
At this time, Madam and Your Excellency are angry, which really adds to the chaos.
Long Pei's fingers curled up slightly on the table, and he gently clasped the table, "Release the news that Huo Linmo came to Country C, and you go to Haoting Garden in the afternoon."
As soon as the news of Huo Linmo's arrival came out, he, the president and the president's wife, would naturally greet him in person.
No matter how reluctant Ming Xi was, as the president's wife, she would not disregard the overall situation.
In this way, she returned to the presidential palace logically.
*
Long Lifei stayed at school at noon, and Gu Mingxi continued to teach Feifei to eat with a spoon for lunch. Feifei has a strong learning ability and is much more proficient than in the morning.
Gu Mingxi doesn't need to bother, he can eat by himself.
She changed into the clothes sent by the servant, and she wore the white skirt like a little princess.
After Gu Mingxi coaxed her to sleep, as soon as she closed the door, she heard the servant whisper that Mr. Bai had come.
——Bai Yan!
Gu Mingxi went downstairs, Bai Yan was sitting on the sofa, seeing her going downstairs from the corner of the eye, she immediately stood up, "Mingxi."
"Sit." Gu Mingxi walked in front of him, her posture was very casual, there were not so many rules and particularities between them.
After serving the tea, the servant retreated.
Gu Mingxi seemed to have guessed the purpose of Bai Yan's visit. After sitting on the sofa, he didn't say a word, and picked up the teacup and drank the black tea gracefully.
Bai Yan felt so helpless, the couple were both smart people, but they didn't use their smartness in the right place, only to torment outsiders like them.
"Huo Linmo will arrive in country C tomorrow, and the presidential palace has made preparations to welcome him."
"En." Gu Mingxi nodded, looking indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him.
Embarrassed by her reaction, Bai Yan sighed helplessly, "The president and the presidential palace will greet you in person, move back to live! Ming Xi."
Calling her by name meant that he was trying to persuade her as a friend.
Gu Mingxi put down the teacup, overlapped her slender legs, leaned back, and said two words, "No."
"—Ming Xi." Bai Yan felt a little headache.
"There are many people who welcome Huo Linmo, many of them are me." Gu Mingxi didn't want to go back to the presidential palace, it was obviously his fault, why should she go back.
It's okay to ask her to go back, at least let him come over and apologize to Ah Li.
"Mingxi, he's the president." You can't make your Excellency bow his head and apologize to Long Lifei, it's too embarrassing.
"So what?" He can do whatever he wants, can he say that to hurt Ah Li?
"I'm in charge of this matter, if something goes wrong—" Bai Bai hesitated to speak, and changed the topic from another angle.
Wen Ya's expression was gloomy and gloomy, her voice was a little lonely, "Can't you just treat it as helping me? Ming Xi!"
The tone fell, and the dark pupils looked at her sincerely, begging.
Gu Mingxi was dazed by his begging eyes, and a little shaken.
"Mingxi, don't forget, you still owed me a favor back then..." Bai Yan caught the hesitation in her eyes, spoke again, and chased after the victory.
"Okay." Gu Mingxi felt so sorry when he heard what he mentioned, Bai Yan said so, and if he didn't agree, he couldn't justify it.Thin lips pursed, "I'll go back tomorrow morning, Ah Li will stay here."
When Bai Yan heard her say this, his tense expression relaxed, "Okay." He stood up, "I still have something to go back to the Presidential Palace."
Gu Mingxi stood up and sent him to the door, seeing Nan Si who was waiting for Bai Yan outside, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Bai Yan?"
"Ok?"
"Love yourself more." Gu Mingxi looked at him, it had nothing to do with Fengyue, but only sincerity.Bai Yan is a confidant to her.
When she was about to leave Country C, if Bai Yan hadn't risked her help, she would have been unable to escape.
Bai Yan was stunned, understood what she meant, and subconsciously glanced at Nan Si, "I know."
Knowing it is one thing, but being able to do it is another.
Gu Mingxi knew that Nan Si's wife was pregnant, and also knew that Bai Yan had always had the idea of waiting for Nan Si to be 40 years old.
Distressed Bai Yan, but could do nothing.
Bai Yanqiao walked back to the car, pulled the co-pilot's seat and got in.
Nan Si nodded to Gu Mingxi through the windshield as a greeting, and from the corner of his eye fell on Bai Yan who was buckling up his seat belt, "What did Madam tell you?"
Judging by Bai Yan's expression, Madam should agree to go back to the presidential palace, but when they came out, Madam gave him a strange look.
"It's nothing, let's go back." Bai Yan said lightly, holding the seat belt tightly with his fingers, he understood Gu Mingxi's meaning.
Understand, can't do it, this is the most desperate and sad thing.
Nan Si didn't say much, just started the car and left Haoting Garden.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Because of the need to meet Huo Linmo, the South Department had to adjust the security of the presidential palace, and stayed in the presidential palace until late at night.
Bai Yan was also very busy helping Long Pei deal with the aftermath, but with Ban Xia's help, it would be almost eleven o'clock.
"Mr. Bai, don't you want to go back?" Lu Banxia turned off the computer, stood up, and knocked on the door of Bai Yan's open office.
Bai Yan looked at the time, it was getting late, and things were almost done, but he should still be in the presidential palace.
"I still have something to deal with, you go back first." Selfishly want to stay, even if it's just to be with him for a while.
Lu Banxia's calm expression was the same, she nodded, leaned forward and left.
Seeing Ban Xia leave, Bai Yan packed up his things, turned off the computer, took the key to lock the door, and went to find Nan Si.
Nan Si confirmed the monitoring problem with the bodyguards in the monitoring room, and saw that he immediately put down what he was doing and handed it over to his subordinates, "Are you done?"
"En." Bai Yan nodded, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the monitor, "How long do you have to do it?"
"There are still a few dead ends that have not been resolved."
"You are busy with your work. I don't want to go back now. I will go together when you finish."
"Okay." Nan Si didn't hesitate, and gave him a stool to sit aside, while he immediately continued to confirm all safety issues with his subordinates through the walkie-talkie.
Bai Yan sat on the sidelines and watched him earnestly work. Not only did he not feel bored, but he found it very interesting.
In life, Nan Si is a big boss, but in work, he is serious and meticulous, demanding perfection.
In the blink of an eye, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Nan Si finally dealt with all the problems, and the others left almost the same, or they just stayed at their posts, and the presidential palace was extremely quiet late at night.
"Now I can't sleep for a few hours when I go back." Nan Si frowned and looked at his watch, then looked at Bai Yan helplessly.
"Otherwise, go to my office, there seems to be beer." Bai Yan stood up, and Mo Mei was slightly tired. After waiting for him for four hours, he didn't have a single complaint.
Nan Si nodded.
In the past, if they stayed too late and couldn't go back, they would spend the night in Bai Yan's office and continue working at dawn.
Bai Yan opened the door with the key, and the sensor light turned on naturally. When he walked to the desk and saw the white plastic bag, he asked strangely, "What is this?"
He didn't remember leaving.
Open the plastic bag, it is a takeaway that has cooled down.
"How can there be food?" Bai Yan looked suspicious, he obviously locked the door before leaving, no one should be able to come in!
Nan Si went straight to the small refrigerator next to the bookshelf in his office, took out two cans of beer and handed them to him, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Yan came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that he had given Ban Xia the key before, and she might have bought it for himself.A faint smile escaped from the thin lips, Ban Xia has a warm face and heart, which is still very good.
Seeing the food on the table, Nan Si was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.
The two of them sat down and drank beer with the cold food. One of them occupied half of the sofa, with a slight distance between them, but their fingers clasped together at some point.
Tight, as if they couldn't be separated.
Half asleep and half awake, Bai Yan felt that Nan Si seemed to be covering himself with his coat.
The movement was very light, like a feather floating from the sky, across his heart.
Warm, unbeatable.

Gu Mingxi got up early in the morning and told his servants to take care of A Li and Fei Fei, while he went back to the Presidential Palace by car.
There was still an hour before Huo Linmo's flight landed, and it was still half an hour away to the presidential palace.
Long Pei didn't plan to go to the airport to pick him up, so giving him face, going to the gate of the Presidential Palace is considered to be giving Huo Linmo enough face.
Gu Mingxi changed into formal clothes, scattered her long hair on her chest casually, and then went to the office building of the Presidential Palace to meet Long Pei.
Long Pei got off the elevator, and as soon as the door opened, the eyes of the two met at the same level, and time seemed to have stopped.
For a while, no one spoke.
Ban Xia glanced at Bai Yan next to Long Pei.
Bai Yan looked at his watch and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, there are still 10 minutes. Ban Xia and I will go out first."
Long Pei's eyes stayed on Gu Mingxi's face, and he nodded slightly.
Bai Yan and Ban Xia bowed to Gu Mingxi, and left one after another tacitly.
Gu Mingxi looked at him a little awkwardly. When he was about to turn around and leave, Long Pei grabbed her wrist and led her into the elevator, and directly pressed against the cold elevator wall.
"What are you doing?" Gu Mingxi tried to struggle.
Long Pei bowed his head and his forehead was almost touching her forehead, his thin lips were pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, the breath he exhaled sprayed on her neck, which was cool.
Gu Mingxi's head was turned to one side, and she was worried that if she looked at him, she would touch his lips.
In the silent space, his heartbeat and breath are right next to his ears, echoing very clearly.
"I didn't mean that." After a long time, he squeezed out this sentence awkwardly.
Well, is that an explanation?
Gu Mingxi's eyes slanted to his stern face...
Long Pei's hands landed on her face, and without any force, he gently turned her face to meet his gaze, and the tip of his nose was close to hers, "I'll tell you later in the evening."
The warm breath and low magnetic sound disturbed her, and she frowned slightly, "It's time to go out."
Long Pei seemed to be aware of the blush at the base of her ears, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was fleeting.
It seemed that the air was not so thin all of a sudden, Gu Mingxi took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood.
Long Pei looked at him, and stretched out his arm in front of her...
Gu Mingxi looked at him for a second, reached out his arm to hold his arm, and the two walked out of the elevator.

At the gate of the Presidential Palace, a black car stopped, and the cars behind it also stopped.
Huo Linmo, who got out of the car, was dressed in a suit, his broken hair glistened in the sun, his playful peach blossom eyes fell on Long Pei and Gu Mingxi immediately, and his thin lips curled into meaningful arcs.
"Welcome to visit the Presidential Palace of Country C again." Long Pei, as the host, extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"It's an honor to be your guest." Huo Linmo reached out to hold his hand, speaking to Long Pei, but kept staring at the woman beside him, "Ma'am, we meet again."
Gu Mingxi only felt that his eyes and tone were a bit strange. Since there were many people present, he shook hands with him calmly, "I'm glad you came to country C. I hope it was a pleasant journey."
"With a beautiful woman like Madam, I don't think this journey will be boring." Huo Linmo curled his lips, and his smile became deeper and deeper, unable to be explored.
Gu Mingxi didn't understand, she just maintained her identity and stood beside Long Pei gracefully, with a faint smile on her lips.
After a few pleasantries, they were welcomed into the presidential palace.
The room Ru Bing arranged for Huo Linmo was on the east side of the third floor. It was very quiet, with good sightlines and light.
Huo Linmo will take a short break in the morning and have lunch in his room. In the afternoon, he will have a simple conversation with Long Pei. In the evening, at Huo Linmo's request, there will be no complicated and lengthy state banquet, just a simple dinner.
Gu Mingxi went back to the room after playing with Long Pei. As long as she didn't leave the room, she basically couldn't touch Huo Linmo.
What surprised her was that Huo Linmo didn't take the initiative to look for her all day, which was a novelty.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
At the dinner, Gu Mingxi changed into a black evening dress, and even took out jewelry that she didn't usually wear on her neck to show respect.
When Long Pei came in, she was wearing the diamond necklace he gave to the mirror, but she hadn't buttoned it several times, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes.
He stepped forward, took the necklace and put it on for her.
Standing in front of the mirror, Gu Mingxi saw his handsome facial features, her sharp eyes were focused.
This man seems to be naturally elegant and good-looking no matter what he does.
"Dinner, you have to be mentally prepared." Long Pei stood behind her, looking sharply at her watery eyes in the mirror.
Gu Mingxi suddenly became vigilant, "Why?" What will happen?
Long Pei didn't give a specific explanation, and put his hands on her shoulders to fiddle with her long hair, "You'll understand in a while."
Gu Mingxi didn't ask too much, but was led downstairs by his hand full of doubts.
The gorgeous crystal lighting seems to have coated them with a layer of golden light, which is beautiful and dreamy.
Before they sat down, Huo Linmo also went downstairs. Although he was dressed in a neat suit, his usual unruly expression did not give people the slightest sense of rigor, nor the solemnity of a politician.
"Madam is so beautiful tonight." Huo Linmo curled his lips with a bright smile.
"Thank you." Gu Mingxi only felt that there was something wrong with his eyes, "President Huo, please sit down."
Huo Linmo was not polite at all, and sat down on his buttocks, "We are old friends, don't be so stiff. Where are Bai Ziyan and Qin Nansi? Ask them to sit down together, it's so lively."
Gu Mingxi didn't speak, but looked at Long Pei.
Long Pei just gave Ru Bing a look, Ru Bing Xin understood, and immediately notified Bai Yan and Nan Si to come in.
Huo Linmo picked up his cup and took a sip of water. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Yan and Nan Si walking in from the door, with evil smiles on the corners of their mouths.
When Bai Yan and Nan Si took their seats one after another, Huo Linmo put down his cup and said with a smile, "Since we are all friends, if you don't mind a friend I brought along, let's just sit down."
friend?Who can he bring?
Xiaobai's name flashed in Gu Mingxi's mind, is it Xiaobai?
"Naturally." Long Pei seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen, and remained calm.He just held Gu Mingxi's hand a little tighter——
Gu Mingxi was puzzled, why did he think everyone was weird?
Huo Linmo clapped his palms——
A white figure stepped out from the second staircase, her steps were very small, her skirt was too long, she held the skirt with one hand, while the other hand landed on the guardrail, and she descended lightly.
The moment Gu Mingxi shot his gaze, he was completely stunned...
When one day, you suddenly see a person who looks exactly like yourself, what will you do?
Short black hair, long white dress, identical facial features, face...
Gu Mingxi felt as if she was having a dream or looking in a mirror.
It's just that the person in the mirror has short hair and wears a white skirt...
The woman in the white dress was also shocked when she saw her, shock and disbelief flashed across her beautiful eyes.
pace, stop.
Seeing the shocked expressions of Gu Mingxi and the others, Huo Linmo smiled, as if he had achieved his goal.
He got up, walked to her side, and passed his hand in front of her.
She put her hand in Huo Linmo's and was led to the dining table by him, her eyes were always on Gu Mingxi.
The same goes for Gu Mingxi.
I was almost engrossed, and I couldn't help standing up...
How can this be?
In this world, how can there be two people who look exactly the same?
Whether it is the eyes, nose, lips, or chin, there is nothing alike.
"She, who is she?" The woman standing at Huo Linmo looked blankly at Huo Linmo with a blank expression on her face.
"I should ask you this question." Gu Mingxi pursed her lips and looked at her sharply, "Who are you?"
How could someone look exactly like me? Moreover, Long Pei and Bai Yan were not surprised at all, they seemed to have known it for a long time.
What the hell does this happen?
