Chapter 202 It’s Easier to Cultivate Relationships (1)
The low and mellow voice struck her heartstrings, and the smile on Gu Qingning's face became even bigger, "Forget it."
"Ning'er, who are you talking to on the phone? You can eat now."
The sound of footsteps approaching behind her, Gu Qingning suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
She turned around, and Gu Zhao had already walked in front of her.
Gu Zhao asked casually, "Who are you talking to?"
Gu Qingning stuffed her phone into her trouser pocket, cleared her throat, "A friend."
Gu Zhao didn't think much, and nodded, "Let's go, let's eat."
"Um."
The two walked into the dining room, and Gu Che had already poured the wine.
The table was full of dishes, and the fresh soup in the mandarin duck pot was boiling non-stop, overflowing with aroma.
Gu Zhao put down the wine bottle, pulled away the chair beside him, and said to Gu Qingning, "Yaoer, come and sit with the second brother."
Gu Qingning walked over, sat beside him, glanced at the red wine on the table, her glazed eyes flickered.
It's okay to drink red wine, but pour white wine just a glass. Her physique is really amazing.
Gu Ying picked up the cooked mutton and put it into Gu Qingning's bowl, with a gentle voice, "Ah Ning, eat more."
Gu Qingning hooked her lips, "Yes."
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the mutton in the bowl and put it into her mouth. The mutton slices were tender and slippery, with a taste of fresh soup.
Facing Gu Ying's dark eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled, and praised without hesitation, "It's delicious."
Praise from their little princess, Gu Ying thin lips slightly raised, and laughed, "Then eat more."
Gu Qingning nodded.
Without Mr. Gu and the others, the four talked and laughed unscrupulously, and the dining room kept echoing laughter.
In the end, apart from Gu Ying, the three of Gu Qingning were exhausted.
Gu Ying stood up, looked at Gu Qingning with black eyes, and said softly, "Ah Ning, let's sit outside and let Ah Che and the others wash the dishes."
"That's right, Yao'er, don't worry about these things, the eldest brother cooks, and the two of us wash the dishes. It's always like this."
Gu Che hadn't eaten so full for a long time. He leaned back on the chair with a lazy posture.
Gu Qingning blinked, "What about me?"
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "You are responsible for eating."
Gu Qingning laughed softly, and Gu Ying stepped forward, "Let's go, Ah Che also ordered a cake, it should be delivered soon, let's get it."
The security measures at the Markham Mansion are very strict, and the takeaway staff cannot come in, so they have to go to the gate to get it.
cake?
Gu Qingning was surprised, "Is anyone's birthday?"
"Who stipulates that only birthdays can eat cakes." Gu Che stood up, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "I heard that the cake shop is very popular, so I bought it for you to try."
Eating too much, Gu Qingning didn't let Gu Ying drive, the two walked to get the cake.
The evening wind floats, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, but they didn't feel embarrassed.
Gu Ying held the cake in his hand, and looked sideways at the girl beside him.
Thinking again and again, I still asked the confusion in my heart, "A-Ning, how did Grandpa find you?"
Some things found out are not as true as what I heard from her mouth.
Gu Qingning's footsteps slowed down, and her faint voice could not detect any emotion, "That day, Steward Wan came to the door with a paternity test report, saying that I was the missing lady of the Gu family for many years, and then took me back."
"I don't remember clearly. Two days before Steward Wan came to our house, Grandma Li, who had been taking care of me, passed away due to illness."
Gu Ying frowned. The Grandma Li she was talking about had also been seen in the materials, and she was a very kind-hearted old man.
"Who is that Grandma Li, did she pick you up?"
Gu Qingning shook her head, said calmly, "I don't know, she just said that she is a widowed old man, and she has always lived with me."
As long as she can remember, that grandma Li has been by her side. The old man is quite educated and takes good care of her.
Thinking about it, she disappeared as soon as she was born. Even if she was secretly carried, she is still a baby, and she can't remember anything.
Gu Ying looked at her dark eyes with a hint of distress, no matter what, he must find out the truth about her disappearance back then.
Gu Qingning glanced at the cake in Gu Ying's hand, suddenly thought of that little guy Qi Heng, and suggested, "Brother, Heng Heng likes eating cakes very much, let's pick him up and eat with him."
Anyway, the two of them are not very far away, just a few minutes away.
Gu Ying was stunned, Heng Heng's pink and jade-carved face appeared in his mind, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Um."
That little guy, he likes it too.
The two came to Tao's house, and Mrs. Tao opened the door.
Seeing their brother and sister, Mrs. Tao greeted with a smile on her face, "Xiao Ning, why are you here suddenly, come in quickly."
She stretched out her hand to pull Gu Qingning, with an intimate look, those who didn't know thought Gu Qingning was her granddaughter.
Gu Qingning followed her into the living room, with a faint smile on his lips, "Grandma Tao, is Heng Heng here?"
"He went upstairs to take a shower." Mrs. Tao said.
Old Master Tao heard the movement, looked up, his eyes touched Gu Qingning and the two, and smiled, "Gu Ying and Xiao Ning are here, come and drink tea."
"Grandpa Tao."
"What do you want to do with Hengheng?" Mrs. Tao asked them to sit down and asked casually.
Gu Qingning said, "It's nothing, we bought a cake and want to take Heng Heng to eat it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Tao noticed the cake in Gu Ying's hand, with a surprised expression on her face, "You moved here?"
Before, Gu Zhao often came to visit, and Mrs. Tao also knew that Gu Ying had a house here, but she didn't expect them to move back suddenly.
Gu Ying nodded, "I just moved back today."
Old Master Tao patted his thigh and said with a smile, "That's great, you guys will come to eat often in the future."
Proximity to the water first gets the moon, in this way, it will be easier for Ah Cheng and Xiao Ning to cultivate their relationship.
The corners of Gu Ying's eyes twitched, looking at the overly enthusiastic old man, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Is sister Ning here?"
The soft and waxy milk voice came from the stairwell, full of excitement.
Gu Qingning turned to look in the direction of the stairs, the little guy ran down in a hurry, under the light, his fair and tender face was full of bright smiles.
The next second, the little one rushed towards her, wrapping its small arms around her thighs.
Gu Qingning smiled dumbly, looked down at the little one at his feet, the white cartoon pajamas made him more soft and cute.
Qi Heng raised his head, his eyes were shining brightly, his small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, "Sister Ning, Heng Heng misses you."
Gu Qingning reached out and touched his little head, with a smile on his lips, "Hengheng, let's see who else is here?"
Following her line of sight, Qi Heng noticed Gu Ying beside her, raised his milk fat, let go of Gu Qingning's legs, and threw himself into Gu Ying's arms.
"Uncle, hug."
Gu Qingning helped to take the cake, Gu Ying reached out to hug the little guy, and gently pinched his white and tender face.
Rarely, he also joked, "Does Hengheng only think about Sister Ning, not Uncle?"
Qi Heng reached out and hugged his neck, pouted and kissed his face, "Heng Heng also misses Uncle."
