Regretful, Mr. Lin's pursuit of his wife ended in a funeral

"Free meal?" Gu Xiqing stared at him with wide eyes, then turned back to look at Du Mingtang.

Is there no food at his house?

Du Mingtang just smiled.

Lin Qingxuan smiled without saying anything. During the time he lived in Zhuhaiyuan, he would spend an hour every day to visit Gu Xiqing, and took the initiative to ask Du Mingtang to give her tutoring, so she didn't have to go to cram school outside.

Du Mingtang initially declined, but unable to resist Lin Qingxuan's enthusiasm, he let him try.

So Lin Qingxuan had an excuse to visit his neighbor's house every day. After a few visits, He Minjia and Du Mingtang became familiar with each other.

Dai Jiao tried to find Du Mingtang at Zhuhaiyuan, but was stopped many times. At the same time, Du Mingtang also received many photos and videos sent by anonymous emails.

And on the day of the ballet competition, Gu Hao, who said he was busy on a business trip and social events, was actually at the scene, accompanying another woman and another daughter.

Du Mingtang knew that woman and the little girl. They were the two people who stopped her and Gu Xiqing that day and deliberately tried to throw dirty water on them.

It turned out that he came here intentionally to provoke her!

Du Mingtang was so angry that she was shaking. She sat on the ground for a long time, repeatedly confirming the voices in the video. Those restaurants were the ones where she asked Gu Hao to bring Gu Xiqing to eat together, but he said they were busy.

He is not available to her, but he is a good husband and father to another woman!!

The nails of his clenched fist pierced the skin on the palm of his hand, and blood flowed out through the gaps between his fingers.

Feeling a sting, Du Mingtang came to his senses and wiped the blood off his palm with paper.

I went to get a glass of water, took a moment to calm down, and re-examine the contents of these anonymous emails.

Not only Du Mingtang received these photos, but Du Mingcheng also received them. After reading them, he took people to Yuansheng, broke into Gu Hao's office, and beat him up.

That night, Du Mingtang pretended nothing had happened and had dinner with Gu Xiqing, when the doorbell rang.

Du Mingcheng came with a divorce agreement.

"Sister, sign the divorce and I'll take you home."

Du Mingcheng came in, got straight to the point, and ended the matter directly.

"uncle!"

A crisp sound broke the freezing point in the room. Du Mingcheng quickly squatted down, and his tense lines became softened.

He squatted down to catch Gu Xiqing who was rushing towards him, lifted her into the air and spun her around.

"Do you miss your uncle, Xiaoqing?"

"I miss you! I miss you so much!" Gu Xiqing hugged Du Mingcheng's neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Uncle, you haven't come to see me and mom for a long time!"

"Uncle was busy before, but now he's standing in front of you." Holding Gu Xiqing, Du Mingcheng looked at the hesitant Du Mingtang and said, "Sister, Mom and Dad miss you very much. After this matter is resolved, let's go home together."

"I miss my grandparents!"

"Then let's go back with mom, okay?"

Gu Xiqing nodded happily, "Okay!"

Du Mingtang looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him and couldn't help but think of how Gu Hao always said he was busy with Yuansheng and rarely came back a few times a year.

I naively thought he was busy with company matters, but I didn't expect that he had a family outside.

My heart was filled with sorrow. I turned around and sobbed softly twice, then picked up a pen and signed my name on the divorce agreement.

In the final division of property, Gu Hao still wanted to sue to get more of the dowry and original property brought by Du Mingtang, but his lawyer was no match for the professional legal team of the Du family. In the end, he was defeated miserably and was left with nothing.

Overnight, he went from being a respected CEO of a listed company to an unemployed vagrant.

Yuansheng was originally the dowry that Du Mingcheng gave to Du Mingtang. Since they were divorced, the dowry had to be brought back.

Gu Xiqing, who was very young, didn’t understand these things. She didn’t understand why her mother quarreled with her father, and then her father slammed the door and left and never came back.

I accidentally saw a video in Du Mingtang's notebook, which was Gu Hao singing birthday song for Dai Qian on her birthday.

Gu Xiqing had never heard such a song before.

Every time, Dad says that he is too tired from work and wants to have a good sleep.

I vaguely seemed to know something.

So when Du Mingtang asked her if she wanted to transfer schools, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Lin Qingxuan also transferred to another private college in S City with Gu Xiqing.

After a series of lawsuits, when Du Mingtang walked out of the court, he happened to see He Minjia.

"you?"

The two looked at each other for a while, suddenly laughed out loud, and went to the bar to drink together.

Lin Qingxuan went to and from school with Gu Xiqing with good reason, and accompanied her after school under the pretext of tutoring.

Later, Gu Xiqing was surprised to find that her neighbor, who was only two grades higher than her, had suddenly become a college student! He had skipped a grade and was about to graduate!

I am only in junior high school. I know that some smart people skip grades, but it is really rare to see someone like him who has no obstacles and goes directly to university!

"I am a genius."

On the way back together, Lin Qingxuan reached out and rubbed her little head, took off her schoolbag and hung it on his shoulder to answer her questions.

"Then please teach me, genius! I also want to go to university in no time!"

"I give you extracurricular tutoring every day." Lin Qingxuan smiled gently when he heard this, "You have made a lot of progress compared to others."

"...But, but you're moving too fast! We're only three years apart!"

They were only three years apart, so how could there be such a huge academic gap? Gu Xiqing thought she was not stupid and her grades were above average. If she devoted herself to her studies, her grades would be much better than they are now. However, compared to him, she was just a frog in a well.

Lin Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, "Because I'm a genius."

"Okay..." Gu Xiqing was dejected for a while, then regrouped, "Then I will work hard and try harder!"

"it is good."

In the dazzling sunlight, the mottled shadows of the trees fell on her face, making Lin Qingxuan dazed.

Her hand was held by her and swayed left and right. His slender fingers could not help but find a way to squeeze in between her fingers and hold her hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth from the palm of my hand, the lake of my heart rises without wind, and circles of interconnected friendships are swirling.

Just like this, slowly, for the rest of your life...

……

Time flies. Even though Lin Qingxuan is very busy, he will attend every ballet performance of Gu Xiqing, and even personally send her to the competition.

"Senior Lin! I got first place again this time!"

The free white swan flew off the stage with the trophy and flew into his arms with the fragrance of flowers.

Lin Qingxuan's heart was in turmoil. He was stunned for a moment, then reached out to hug her, raised his hand to stroke the back of her head, and opened his thin lips slightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "Great."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly and carefully touched the hair on top of her head with his lips.

Gu Xiqing stamped her feet happily, "My palms were sweating just now. I didn't expect that among so many excellent dancers, I would win first place!"

"Thank you for your hard work. What reward do you want this time?" He let her go reluctantly.

Gu Xiqing tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Because I've been preparing for the competition recently, I've fallen behind a lot in my studies this semester. My mom found me some extracurricular tutoring... How about you talk to my mom and ask her to teach me? It's useless to explain it in a complicated way outside. Senior Lin, what you said is simple and easy to understand."

"My tuition fees are quite high," Li Xuanqing said with a muffled laugh. "Besides, I won't indulge you like I did when you were little. Are you sure you want me to help you with your studies?"

"Well then... Our Senior Lin has been extremely busy since he started his company. How could I, such a considerate person, disturb Senior Lin?"

Gu Xiqing pursed her lips regretfully, "I have no choice but to go to an institution outside for tutoring every day..."

"Haha..." Lin Qingxuan's pleasant laughter became louder, "I didn't say I wouldn't help you."

He took off his coat and put it on her. "Let's go. I'll tell my aunt when we get back."

"I knew you were the best!" The man who had just been wilting was revived to full health in an instant.

He happily walked into the business car parked outside the venue.

Her favorite sweets and fruits were prepared in the car, and as soon as she got in, she started eating and drinking as if she were at home.

Lin Qingxuan sat next to her and watched her eat and drink without restraint. He smiled helplessly and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke..."

"Cough cough!"

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Xiqing suddenly coughed a few times, raised his hand and tremblingly asked him for help, "I'm choking... I'm choking!"

Lin Qingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You..."

He let her lean on him and patted her back gently to help the fruit core stuck in her throat come out.

After spitting out the fruit core, Gu Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She collapsed in his arms, her chin resting on his shoulder, "Finally vomited it out..."

Much more comfortable.

I couldn't breathe just now and almost thought I was going to die.

The sweet and soft person was in his arms, and from time to time she would rub against him through the soft fabric of her clothes.

Lin Qingxuan's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple, and his voice became hoarse, "Xiqing."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiqing looked up, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Lin Qingxuan stroked her head, "Are you tired? We still have half an hour to get home. Why don't you take a nap?"

"Yeah, call me when we get home." After several rounds of competition, Gu Xiqing was indeed very tired. She didn't feel it when she was on the stage, but after she got off the stage and on the way home, she realized that her limbs were extremely sore and she couldn't even lift them up even if she tried.

So I had no choice but to lie in his arms and use his shoulders as a pillow.

Lin Qingxuan held her in his arms, looked at her tired sleeping face, and patted her back with his hands, "Okay, go to sleep."

When I got home, Du Mingtang had already prepared dinner.

Seeing Lin Qingxuan walk in with Gu Xiqing, who was sleeping soundly, in his arms, he hurried forward.

"Qingxuan, don't always spoil her!"

This kid...

Don’t you know how busy Lin Qingxuan is?

It also causes trouble for others!

"Aunt, Xiqing is too tired from the competition, let her rest for a while."

After saying that, he carried Gu Xiqing upstairs as if he knew the way there. Holding Gu Xiqing in one hand, he opened her door with the other and put her on the bed.

He pushed the hair away from her forehead and leaned over to place a gentle kiss on her head.

"Well……"

The person in the sleep moaned softly, turned over in bed, and fell asleep on his back.

Lin Qingxuan sat by the bed and looked at her for a few minutes, then got up and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Du Mingtang had already set out his dishes.

"Qingxuan, let's have a meal before we leave?"

"Hmm." Lin Qingxuan walked over and sat down, taking a few bites. "Auntie's cooking skills are still so good."

"As long as Qingxuan likes it." Du Mingtang added more food to his bowl.

After dinner, Lin Qingxuan told Du Mingtang that he would be free in the next period of time and would come over to tutor Gu Xiqing.

"You're so busy, how can I bother you? Don't worry about Xiaoqing's studies. I've already found a tutoring institution."

"What the agency says is complicated and hard to understand, so I'll do it."

He was just worried about having no excuse to get a free meal.

Seeing that he was determined, Du Mingtang couldn't refuse.

This neighbor boy has been coming to our house whenever he has time since he was a child. After so many years, he is no longer considered a stranger.

It would be better to let him continue teaching.

So the after-school tutoring for Gu Xiqing was happily arranged.

Every day after Gu Xiqing came back from dance practice, she would see Lin Qingxuan sitting in the room waiting for her with a textbook in hand. Her eyes would darken and she would collapse on the bed.

"I don't want to study... I'm so tired..."

She regretted that she shouldn't have let him teach!

Is it really as he said, he won’t indulge her anymore?

"Go wash up quickly and come over when you're ready." Lin Qingxuan had already laid out the study materials and textbooks and urged her to take a shower.

Gu Xiqing wailed as she went to wash up, came out with wet hair, sat in front of the dressing table, and began her daily skin care routine.

Lin Qingxuan walked behind her and blew her hair.

By the time the skincare treatment is over, the hair is dry.

When Du Mingtang brought up the midnight snack, he saw Gu Xiqing biting the tip of her pen with a look of despair, while opposite her, Lin Qingxuan gently tapped her head with a ruler.

"Are you hungry? Mom made you some midnight snack."

Smelling the delicious midnight snack, Gu Xiqing's eyes, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up. "Hungry... I'm starving..."

Du Mingtang looked at Lin Qingxuan with a smile, "Qingxuan, let's teach you after we finish eating."

"Yeah." Lin Qingxuan put down the ruler, walked over, and ate the noodles in the bowl with Gu Xiqing.

"Senior Lin, let's stop here for today. I'm sleepy... I can't read a single word right now!"

After finishing the noodles, Gu Xichao stood on tiptoe and pried open the door to take a look outside. "My mother has gone to bed. Tell her tomorrow that you have finished teaching today."

Lin Qingxuan looked up out the window and before he knew it, it was already dark.

He looked away sadly, "Okay, I'll make up for what I didn't finish today tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior, please go back soon!" Gu Xiqing opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Qingxuan walked to the door, stopped, and looked down at her smiling eyes. "I have always had a question."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiqing tilted her head.

"You called me brother when we were little, why did you always call me Senior Lin later?"

When she was a child, she called him brother, but when she was in junior high school, she called him Senior Lin, and their relationship became distant!

"Calling you brother is too intimate..." Gu Xiqing's mouth twitched slightly, "We went to the same school, and you graduated earlier than me. I think it would be better to call you Senior Lin."

She'd been calling him that for years, so why had he only just noticed it now? Was his reaction time that long?
