Gu Yilin took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket. It was a call from his father, Gu Mohan.
“I need to take a call.”
“Alright.”
..
Gu Yilin went to the balcony and answered the call. “Hello, Dad.”
“Yilin, where are you now? It’s the 30th of the Lunar New Year, why aren’t You Back Yet?”Gu Mohan asked.
Gu Yilin put one hand into his trouser pocket and turned to look at the kitchen. Xia Xiaodie peeked her head through the bright window and looked at him. Her beautiful black eyes were filled with a soft and bright light. When she saw him looking at her.., her lips curled into a smile, peaceful and beautiful.
“Dad, didn’t I say that I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t be going over tonight…”
“You bastard, what urgent matters are more important than family reunion? Your Mother has been busy all day, and the reunion dinner has already been prepared. It’s the New Year, and Sihan isn’t here. If you don’t come back soon, won’t You Make Your Mother Sad?”? “Come back quickly, we’ll wait for you to eat.”
Gu Yilin’s heart ached. This was the first new year without sihan, so their family wouldn’t be reunited. “I know, Dad. I’ll rush back immediately.”
Gu Yilin hung up the phone.
At this moment, a soft voice rang in his ears. “Are you leaving?”
Gu Yilin glanced sideways. Xia Xiaodie had already come out of the kitchen. She was still holding a pair of chopsticks in her hands as she looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
Gu Yilin nodded. “Yes, I’m leaving.”
He was leaving.
“OH.”
Xia Xiaodie lowered her head. Her slender white fingers curled up as she tugged at the chopsticks in her hands. “It doesn’t matter. You can leave now. Come back when you’re free.”
“Okay.”
Gu Yilin walked into the living room and lifted his coat with his slender fingers. Then, he looked back at her. Xia Xiaodie was still standing there. Her beautiful back was pressed against the door frame of the kitchen. She was wearing a simple white dress, there was a floral apron hanging around her neck. Her pure black hair was tied into a ponytail. Now, she lowered her head and held the chopsticks in her hand. Her small appearance was made extremely cold by the bright fireworks outside.
Gu Yilin’s voice was hoarse. “I’m leaving.”
“Okay.”Xia Xiaodie did not raise her head.
Gu Yilin left in large strides.
He opened the driver’s door of the Rolls-royce Phantom. Gu Yilin held the steering wheel with both hands and remained silent for a while. Then, he looked at the villa through the car window. She did not come out, but he saw the hem of her white dress, she quietly stood behind the door and looked at him.
Gu Yilin felt his heart being torn apart. He pulled the steering wheel with his big palm and drove away.
..
Xia Xiaodie, who had been standing behind the door, watched as the rolls-royce phantom disappeared from her sight. She stood where she was and did not move. She watched in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Xiaodie turned around and went upstairs. When she returned to the bedroom, she lowered her waist and picked up all the shirts and trousers on the carpet. Her clothes were cold and she could not feel his body temperature.
She could not say anything.
She could not let him have a taste of her noodles. She did not dare to let him stay any longer. She knew that he was going to fly back to reunite with his parents.
Actually, it was already very good that he could come back and see her.
Xia Xiaodie reached out her small hand and touched her flat belly. At least, she was not alone. She still had her baby.
However..
Xia Xiaodie quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Wen Jing, help me book a plane ticket. Right now, right now.”
..
When Xia Xiaodie got off the plane and arrived in country A, she was shocked to realize what she had done. She had actually followed her here, even though she did not know why she had followed her here.
Wen Jing’s text message came. According to her instructions, she sent a route map. The Gu family on New Year’s Eve did not live in the capital city, but in country A. after all, where there were family members, it was a reunion.
Xia Xiaodie took a taxi and arrived at a luxurious ou mansion.
The moment she got off the taxi, Xia Xiaodie saw the door of the mansion being pulled open by the servants. There were two luxurious cars parked on the lawn. One was a rolls-royce business car and the other was a jeep with the exclusive logo X of the Xuan family, the luxurious cars were all chauffeured. Although they were low-profile, it was difficult to hide the luxurious aura of the aristocratic families.
Soon, someone came out of the mansion. The first to come out were Gu Mohan and Xuan Ying, followed by Tang Mo’er and Xia Ling who were holding hands affectionately, followed by a pair of children, Gu Yelin and Xuan Yingluo.
Xia Xiaodie didn’t know what Gu Mohan and Xuan Ying were talking about, but when Xia Xiaodie saw that Tang Mo’er and Xia Ling were more direct, the two mothers looked at their daughters and giggled happily, they even blinked their eyes and whispered something to each other.
Xia Xiaodie quietly retreated to a corner where neither of them could see her. She looked at Gu Yilin and Xuan Yingluo who were behind her. Gu Yilin was wearing an English checkered coat, which made him look less cold and aloof than usual, his handsome face was gentle and elegant.
On the other hand, Xuan Yingluo was wearing a bright yellow coat. The belt around her waist wrapped around her slender waist. The retro palace lights in the corridor shone on her stunning face.
Gu Yilin and Xuan Yingluo were talking about something. Gu Yilin looked at Xuan Yingluo intently. Xuan Yingluo smiled. The two of them were a perfect match.
If Xia Xiaodie had felt that they were a good match in the entertainment headlines, she would have felt that they were a match made in heaven.
Xia Xiaodie’s gaze fell on Tang Mo’er again. That must be his mommy. His mommy was really beautiful and had a great temperament. Even Xuan Yingluo’s mommy was the same. Their relationship had always been as close as sisters, it was so warm and loving.
The two families got into the luxurious car and sped away. They were probably going to have New Year’s Eve dinner.
Xia Xiaodie stood there alone and watched them disappear. Her mind was a mess. She was actually very envious. She had never had a complete family since she was young. She didn’t have a father or a mother.
Xia Xiaodie turned around and returned to the taxi.
The driver looked at Xia Xiaodie. “Miss, where are you going?”
“To the airport.”
..
Xia Xiaodie went back. No one knew that she had once gone to country A to visit Gu Yilin. She had spent the new year alone in the villa.
Wen Jing called, “Xiaodie, we’re almost done with our App. However, once it’s released, we’ll need a large amount of capital, although Dr. Han and Dr. Wei has been helping us, but we need a large amount of reserve capital to operate it…”
Xia Xiaodie returned to the bedroom of the villa. She turned on her computer, looked at the stock price analysis chart, and said, “Wen Jing, help me open an account. I’ve been keeping in mind the matter of the reserve funds. It’s just that the time hasn’t come yet. However, the time has come.”
“Xiaodie, do you know that when you focus on your career, it’s really… mesmerizing!”
..
Country A.
Initially, Tang Mo’er had personally prepared the Gu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner. However, the Xuan family had suddenly paid a visit and the two families had gone straight to the hotel to eat.
