Originally, Lu Lingxi was supposed to be angry at Gu Huai's attitude, but for some reason, she felt pity for him even more in her heart.

But Gu Huai added coldly: "Self-righteous sympathy and pity are the most ridiculous."

This is a self-respecting man. He is never willing to expose his weaknesses to others. He would rather be hated and feared by others than sympathize with him, especially if that person is Lu Lingxi.

Not only was Lu Lingxi not annoyed by Gu Huai's attitude, but she looked at him more tenderly.

It wasn't until the two of them entered the presidential suite, put down their salutes, and Gu Huai walked to the balcony, facing the sea, with his back to Lu Lingxi, that she couldn't help but walk towards him.

"You really have nothing to sympathize with, especially in front of me." Lu Lingxi looked at the endless sea outside the window, her voice was ethereal and sad.

"At least you have grandparents since you were young, and you know who your parents are. As for me, because I am a girl, I was abandoned by patriarchal parents when I was born. I don't even know who my parents are."

Looking at the calm blue sea outside the window, Lu Lingxi talked about her life experience very calmly, without any emotion, as if what she was telling was just a story about an irrelevant person.

Gu Huai turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi in some surprise. He never knew her background, he only knew that her adoptive father had saved his grandfather's life, so grandpa made an appointment with his adoptive father to marry him. Ask him to repay his favor in this way.

"Surprised, isn't it? But it's nothing. I didn't say this to make you pity me. I just want to tell you that I really don't sympathize with you. If I have the time to pity you, it's better to pity myself. "

Lu Lingxi could feel that Gu Huai's eyes were on her, but she never turned her head to look at him.

Ever since she became sensible and her adoptive father told her the process of adopting her, after so many years, she has long since resented her parents at first, and now she talks about them like an unrelated stranger.

"I just can understand you, so you don't need to explain or pretend in front of me."

Lu Lingxi turned her head and met Gu Huai's eyes, those eyes that were always foggy looked extraordinarily clear at this moment.

A faint light flashed in Gu Huai's eyes, but his expression didn't change at all.

"I really want to go back to the days before I knew them, but it seems impossible now." Gu Huai looked at Lu Lingxi and smiled wryly.

"I didn't expect them to be invited to sister Qi Xiaobai's wedding." Lu Lingxi really didn't understand. Could it be that the family where Gu Huai's mother remarried still had friendship with the Qi family?
"It seems that they will settle down in the imperial capital, and I'm afraid we will be able to meet each other in the future."

Although Gu Huai was unwilling, he couldn't help but inquired who Ms. Liang married again, and understood why she suddenly reappeared after 20 years of disappearance.

"But you're obviously not ready." Lu Lingxi pointed out bluntly, if Gu Huai had been prepared, he wouldn't have lost his composure at the airport just now.

"I thought I could turn a blind eye to it, but in the end I overestimated myself." Gu Huai confessed with a wry smile.

Lu Lingxi smiled and comforted: "It's nothing, don't look at me being so calm when I talk about myself now, if my parents appear in front of me one day, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down either."

Gu Huai turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi, she was facing him sideways, the sea breeze on the balcony stirred her long hair, making her face look extra soft at this moment.

Although the two had known each other for a while and even slept in the same bed, Gu Huai felt that he and Lu Lingxi had never been as close as they are now.

A woman who grew up in the mountains was inexplicably tied to him because of a baby, and now she found that they had the same life experience. Could it be fate?
"Thank you for your relief, I feel much better now." Gu Huai looked deeply at Lu Lingxi, the smile on his face was no longer as bitter as before, and his heart was not so heavy.

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi turned her head to look at Gu Huai, and said with a half-smile, "If you really thank me, then I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the sofa tonight."

As soon as she entered this suite, Lu Lingxi discovered that there was only one double bed.

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Lu Lingxi would change the subject so quickly. He couldn't help laughing, but he didn't answer her question directly: "Let's take care of today's wedding and tonight's dance first."

Lu Lingxi didn't expect that Gu Huai would be so stingy and wouldn't agree to such a trivial matter. Could it be that he wanted her to sleep on the sofa at night?
So Lu Lingxi snorted at Gu Huai sullenly, returned to the suite and ignored Gu Huai.

"Don't just sit there, change your clothes quickly, we're going to the wedding venue soon." Seeing that Lu Lingxi was sitting on the sofa without any movement, Gu Huai looked at his watch and urged her to come.

"It's still early, isn't it?" Lu Lingxi didn't move at all, the expression on her face was still sullen.

It was rare to see such a childish side of Lu Lingxi, Gu Huai couldn't help laughing, he squatted in front of Lu Lingxi, looked her in the eye, and said with a smile: "Don't you want Qi Xiaobai to endorse new products for you? Shouldn't you have helped earlier?"

Suddenly seeing Gu Huai so close, so close that their breaths blended together, Lu Lingxi blushed immediately, leaned her upper body on the sofa, and distanced herself from Gu Huai.

Gu Huai didn't continue to make things difficult for Lu Lingxi, he stood up, sat beside Lu Lingxi, turned his head, and said with a slight smile, "Go, change clothes, I'll wait for you."

Lu Lingxi was at a loss because of Gu Huai's actions just now. Hearing this, he just took this opportunity to calm down.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, can you dance?" Seeing that Lu Lingxi was about to push the suitcase to the dressing room, Gu Huai suddenly thought of this question.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Lingxi stopped in her tracks, turned her head with difficulty, and said embarrassingly, "...No."

Gu Huai originally just asked casually, because he had thought about this question when he ordered clothes for Lu Lingxi before. She was a girl who grew up in the mountains. Probably not very good at jumping.

But at this moment, when Lu Lingxi really said that she couldn't dance, Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Lu Lingxi's rare expression of timidity, the smile on Gu Huai's face became more intense, from the initial dry laugh to a loud laugh.

Lu Lingxi was really embarrassed at first, but Gu Huai's attitude irritated her, and on the contrary made her feel more confident. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is it funny that you can't dance?"

Seeing Lu Lingxi's angry and unconvinced look, Gu Huai laughed even louder.
