Chapter 514: 311 accompany S service!
Xu He was far less patient with her sons than when she spoke with Little Tiangao, "When did I ever let you start dating now? Can’t you just get to know each other first?"
Xia Xing, facing the direction of the window, tilted his head back, "The little girl from the Gu Family, I just treat her like a sister, it’s too strange to see her like this."
Xu He, "In your memory, she’s still a little girl of a few years old, but if you look at her now, she has grown up, and she’s not as chubby as before. The last time I saw her, she was tall and slim, at any rate, I find her much more pleasant than that Jian Manman you used to date."
In the past, whenever Xu He mentioned Jian Manman, Xia Xing would immediately cut off the conversation, but now, for some reason, he just felt like his mother was bringing up a name from the past, unable to spark any ripples in his heart.
Not getting a response for a long time, Xu He’s voice softened, "Silly son, tell Mom the truth, are you still hung up on Jian Manman?"
"It’s really not," Xia Xing’s voice was mellow and lazy, "It has nothing to do with her."
"It has nothing to do with her? Then who does it have to do with?" Xu He was still very perceptive when it came to her children’s emotional lives.
What Xia Xing said was just an unconscious remark, but being questioned by his mother like this, suddenly a tender, strange feeling rose in his heart.
Yeah, why didn’t he want to go so much?
If it had nothing to do with Jian Manman, then who was it related to?
His thoughts became somewhat disordered. Before he could straighten them out, a sweet little voice came from behind—
"Idol, have you come back?"
The voice was gentle, like a kitten that had just been full mooned, using its tiny velvety paws to scratch lightly at the tip of his heart.
Gu Mingzhi’s little head peeped through the door crack, and Xia Xing looked back at her, the words ’I’m back’ were just stuck in his throat, both dry and itchy.
While he was still in a daze, the phone suddenly became chaotic on the other end.
"Madam! Madam, what’s wrong with you?!"
Xia Xing’s heart tightened, something was wrong, his mother’s health had always been poor, and it had just gotten better this year. She must have been upset by him and had an old ailment flare up again.
"Where are you now?"
The assistant picked up the call, "Second Young Master, the madam is in Paris."
Xia Xing, "I’ll come right away."
Seeing the idol leaving in a hurry, Gu Mingzhi’s bright almond eyes widened, "Idol, you haven’t removed your makeup yet!"
The makeup she used for the idol could last two hours under water without running. The last time Xia Xing went back to the club without washing it off himself, it was the next day when he had to call her to the club to wash it off.
Xia Xing’s brows furrowed deeply, "No time to remove it, there’s an emergency." freewebnøvel.coɱ
Gu Mingzhi scratched the top of her head.
Leaving work early all of a sudden?
Just at that moment, his mother’s WeChat message came through again, issuing her an ultimatum, saying if she didn’t come today, she shouldn’t expect to go to work the next day.
For the sake of future stability, Gu Mingzhi thought it over and decided to go.
Getting into a taxi, she held her makeup case, and rested her head against the passenger-side window. Outside, small snowflakes fell gently, and the large, soft fur collar of her down jacket enveloped her round baby face.
Memories drifted back with the snowflakes to her childhood.
The Gu Family was thrilled to have a daughter, weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces.
Gu Mingzhi, who grew up pampered like a princess by everyone, was truly a little piglet before the age of 10, a genuine little princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Until one day, when Mommy took her to the Xia Family, she met a young boy.
The boy was half a head taller than her, and Xia Xing, who was just 12 or 13 years old, already had a sense of adolescence.
He was very handsome, and even the chubby Gu Mingzhi felt that when they stood together, Xia Xing looked more like a girl.
Especially those watery, narrow eyes, with an inexplicable sadness in them, just one glance, and they were deeply imprinted in little Gu Mingzhi’s heart.
During that period, she frequently visited the Xia Family, and at first, Xia Xing wouldn’t talk to her and always managed to easily shake off his sticky self.
He had long legs and walked quickly, so Gu Mingzhi would jog along behind him.
But she was chubby, and after running only a few steps, she would start panting heavily, her topknot bouncing up and down.
Once, while rushing, she tripped over a step and fell face-first onto it.
With a ’thud,’ the little fattie fell hard.
Gu Mingzhi lay on the ground feeling as though her face was flattened, her body ached all over, and she was about to cry while sniffling when the footsteps that had walked away quickly came back.
’Tap, tap, tap...’
Finally, they stopped in front of her.
Xia Xing, with his apathetic-looking eyes, carefully lifted her up by her white, lotus-like little arms to check if she had hurt herself.
For the first time, Gu Mingzhi saw him from such close proximity.
