deep affection

Gu's front desk staff had already received the news, so as soon as Zhuang Wei arrived, he was invited by the front desk to take the elevator dedicated to Gu Yan, and went directly to Gu Yan's office.

In the office, Gu Yan was reading the documents, when she saw Zhuang Wei entering, she smiled and said, "Sit down first, I'll read it in a while."

"Yeah." Zhuang Wei didn't mention Ji Chen and Ying Xinyuan immediately, and sat on the sofa to wait for Gu Yan.

Less than 10 minutes later, Gu Yan put aside the documents he had finished reading, got up and came to Zhuang Wei's side, and sat next to him, "Did you come by taxi?"

"No, Brother Zuo Yun happened to be passing by here, so he brought me here." Zhuang Wei said, then glanced at the direction of the door, and asked, "Assistant Ying doesn't have to go to work today?"

"I gave him an extra day off, what's wrong?" Gu Yan asked.

"On the way here, I saw Assistant Ying and Ji Chen shopping together, and they were still holding hands." Zhuang Wei observed Gu Yan's expression and asked, "Didn't you notice what happened to them?"

Gu Yan smiled without hiding anything, and said: "In the beginning, I just found out that Xinyuan and Ji Chen were getting closer, but it was Xinyuan's matter after all, so I don't want to ask too much. During the two days when Gu's accident happened, Ji Chen had I came to deliver meals to Xinyuan, and I could see that I was very attentive. I asked Xinyuan, and Xinyuan said that they hadn't made a decision yet, and they would formally submit the matter to Ji Chen after the matter was settled. But when to mention it, I don't know."

Zhuang Wei nodded, and generally understood a little bit. According to Gu Yan's estimate, Ying Xinyuan should have mentioned it yesterday, and Ji Chen readily agreed.It just so happened that Ying Xinyuan was resting again today, the two of them made an appointment to go shopping together, and happened to meet him.

"Assistant Ying seems very reliable, I don't have any worries about Ji Chen following him." Zhuang Wei said.

"Well, Xinyuan is trustworthy, otherwise I wouldn't let him follow me. Ji Chen won't suffer from being with Xinyuan." Gu Yan also hopes that Ying Xinyuan can find someone who can live a good life, but he won't Introduce to Ying Xinyuan, so as not to put pressure on Ying Xinyuan, and let Ying Xinyuan find Ji Chen, which is not bad.

"Ji Chen doesn't know how to play casually. He may not earn as much as Assistant Ying, but he is still able to live at home. Assistant Ying took advantage of it." Zhuang Wei teased.

Gu Yan pinched the tip of Zhuang Wei's nose, and said, "That's fine. In the future, we will arrange the vacations of the four of us together, and no one will be embarrassed."

"Yeah." Zhuang Wei thought this proposal was very good, "Speaking of which, Ji Chen finally fell in love, and I'm thinking about giving him something."

"Alright." Gu Yan doesn't know what Ji Chen likes, and Zhuang Wei has to worry about it.Ying Xin is far away, and he can give him more bonuses when he pays his salary this month.

After lunch, Zhuang Wei was not in a hurry to go back, and sat in the office with Gu Yan to drink coffee.

Gu Yan said: "This morning, my mother specially called me to ask me what dishes you like, so that the kitchen can prepare them."

Zhuang Wei was still not mentally prepared for going to the Gu family, but Gu Yan had already made a decision for him, and he couldn't go back on his word, otherwise the Gu family might not have a good impression of him.

"What do I need to bring? What do your parents like?" Zhuang Wei asked.The first time you go to the door, you can't come empty-handed.

"The family can receive a lot of things during the Spring Festival, as long as you arrive, forget about those empty gifts." Gu Yan knows her parents, they don't care about these formal things, they just want to meet Zhuang Wei and find out what kind of person he is. people.

"Whether your parents need it or not is one thing, but whether I understand etiquette is another. Some things still can't be saved." Zhuang Wei said.

Gu Yan thought about it, and felt that if Zhuang Wei thought it was necessary, then he really didn't need to refute Zhuang Wei's kindness, "My parents don't have any special hobbies, and you don't need to buy things that are too expensive. It seems rusty, but something more practical will do.”

Zhuang Wei nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll study it when I go back."

"Okay." Seeing Zhuang Wei's serious expression, Gu Yan smiled.He can understand Zhuang Wei's nervousness, it's also because he cares about him, but he believes that seeing his parents will be fine, so don't worry too much.

At night, Ji Chen called Zhuang Wei.Zhuang Wei just came out of the shower, and was talking on the phone with Ji Chen while wiping his hair.

"Actually, we only settled down last night." Ji Chen said honestly: "Actually, he and I are not purely gay, you know me. We didn't think about it at first, but once we chatted It was too high, I drank too much, so I did it... It was only after that that I started to face up to this problem. But we are not casual people, rather than get together immediately because of some responsibility, and then break up when there is an unpleasant quarrel, even friends If you can’t do it, it’s better to think about it carefully. Even if you find it’s really inappropriate in the end, you can still be friends. You know, two people who are not real but just don’t reject people of the same sex want to be together. There are more things to consider. The possibility of other things is also greater. So we gave each other time to think about it. I admit that I was tempted first, but I didn’t say it because I was afraid he would be under pressure. He proposed a formal relationship with me yesterday, and I really I'm glad I agreed."

Through Ji Chen's tone, Zhuang Wei could also hear the excitement. He was happy for Ji Chen and understood why Ji Chen didn't tell him earlier.

"Assistant Ying is a reliable person, and I can rest assured that you are with him. If you have anything to do in the future, tell me earlier, at least I can help you share it." Zhuang Wei said.

"Yes, I see." Ji Chen smiled.

"I bought you a massage chair, and it will be delivered directly to your home tomorrow. You can put it in a space for yourself. It's a gift. Congratulations, you and Assistant Ying settled down." Zhuang Wei smiled.He chose it all afternoon today, and felt that this was more practical, and Ji Chen's house should have a place to store it, so he placed the order directly.

Ji Chen said in surprise, "Thank you."

"It should be." Zhuang Wei asked with a smile, "Did you spend the Spring Festival with Assistant Ying?"

"Well, it's fixed today, he will come to my place." Ji Chen said.

Zhuang Wei: "Alright."

"What about you? Is Mr. Gu with you?" Ji Chen asked.He remembered that when talking about this matter before, Zhuang Wei said that he hadn't discussed it with Mr. Gu.

Zhuang Wei smiled: "I'll go to the Gu family."

"Really?" Ji Chen said unexpectedly, "The Gu family agreed to let you go?"

"Yes. They invited me." Zhuang Wei replied.

"That's really great. If you behave well and leave a good impression on the Gu family, things between you and Mr. Gu will be smoother in the future." Ji Chen reminded.

"I know." In fact, being invited by the Gu family is already very happy.But the tension is still there.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.Zhuang Wei and Gu Yan woke up naturally after sleeping. After lunch, they drove to Gu's house.

It was already New Year's Eve, but there was no movement at all from the Zhuang's house. It was obvious that Zhuang Wei had no intention of letting Zhuang Wei go back to celebrate the New Year.And Zhuang Wei was still immersed in the tension of seeing Gu Yan's parents, and had no time to care whether his father let him go home.

The Gu family is located in the south of N City, although it is a bit far away, it has a good geographical location.It is also very close to the beach, it only takes 5 minutes to walk there.

The car went up the mountain road all the way, and the greening here was very good. Although the trees were bare, the pines and cypresses were still green, but the color was darker.

Not long after, the car arrived in front of the gate of Gu's villa. Gu Yan took out a small remote control and opened the heavy courtyard door.

After entering the door, the whole field of vision is widened.The Gu family's yard is so large that you can't see the sides at all. The planning of the yard is also quite orderly, making it easy for people to identify each area.

There are three villas in the backyard of the courtyard. Although the shapes are different, the style is relatively unified.The house can see the atmosphere of the age, but because it is well maintained, it may have been renovated in the middle. In short, it does not look old at all, but has its unique charm.

"Your house is so big, can you live here?" Zhuang Wei asked.He hasn't seen the whole picture of the Gu family's villa yet, but he feels that there are only a few people living there, and it seems a bit empty.

While driving towards the garage, Gu Yan explained to him: "This house can be regarded as the old house of the Gu family. It has been living here since my grandfather's generation. At that time, the family had a large population, so there were many buildings built. They all pay attention to housing. Now there are indeed fewer people, and the place feels larger, and the family is not so particular, so they all live together in the main building in the middle. The one on the left is given to the second brother, who studies medicine Yes, there are a lot of things, and he likes to be quiet, so it is more convenient to give him a separate space. The building on the right is reserved for entertaining guests, but now the Gu family rarely comes to guests who need to stay, so it is basically not used. There is also a building on the west side of the garden. A small second-floor building, where the servants and bodyguards live, will not affect the life of the family."

"Before, I only heard people say that the Gu family's wealth cannot be measured at all. I have no idea. Now that I see this house, I also feel that the rumors are true." Zhuang Wei smiled.The environment here is a bit complicated for him. On the one hand, the quiet courtyard and wide view really make him feel at ease.But when he looked at these houses and vegetation bearing the imprint of his family, he couldn't help but feel a little pressure, the pressure from the famous and rich.

"How other people pass it on is other people's business. No matter how you say it, home is a place to live. The most important thing is to have a taste of home and live comfortably." This is Gu Yan's understanding of home, and it is also what his parents have always tried to present to him. s things.

After the car parked in the garage, Gu Yan carried the things Zhuang Wei bought, took his hand, and walked towards the main building through a glass corridor.

Today's sunshine is just right, although it is not warm, it gives people a warm feeling.As soon as Zhuang Wei turned his head, he saw a sea of ​​white plum blossoms on the right side of the corridor. It is a very pleasant thing to see flowers in this season, let alone such a large area.

"It's beautiful." Zhuang Wei commented.

"If you like it, let the maid cut some branches and put them in the house." Generally, no one at home does this, so if you want to see it, you can just put on your clothes and come out for a walk.But it's Zhuang Wei's first time here, so if you like it, it doesn't matter if you cut it a little bit.

"Don't bother, let's take a look later?" Zhuang Wei said.The fragrance of plum blossoms also eased his mood a lot.

"Yes, there is a small greenhouse behind here, where people can make a pot of tea and sit there for a while." Gu Yan suggested.

Zhuang Wei laughed, "I really enjoy it."

"It's not that I want to enjoy it." Gu Yan smiled and said: "The flower house was built last year. Chen Chen also likes to see these plum blossoms in winter, but it's cold and you can't stay outside for too long. A small greenhouse."

"I see." Zhuang Wei nodded with a smile, it seems that the Gu family really cares about Xia Zichen.

After walking a short distance through the corridor, we arrived at the door of the main building.

As soon as Gu Yan entered the gate, the message had already been received in the main building. At this time, the meticulously dressed housekeeper was already waiting with his servants, besides, there was also Gu's mother Wang Yuehua standing in the front.

"Mom." Gu Yan called someone, "It's cold, why did you come out?"

Wang Yuehua patted Gu Yan's shoulder with a smile, and turned her gaze to Zhuang Wei behind him, with a gentle and beautiful smile on her face.

Gu Yan pulled Zhuang Wei, who was one step behind, to his side, and said to his mother, "This is Zhuang Wei." Then he introduced Zhuang Wei, "This is my mother."

"Auntie, hello." Seeing Wang Yuehua's smile, Zhuang Wei somehow reminded him of his mother, who used to look at him with such a gentle and beautiful smile.

Wang Yuehua looked very young, in her forties, and the extravagance on her body made her look more elegant, with a very eye-catching charm.

"I've been looking forward to your coming for a long time." Wang Yuehua stepped forward to hold Zhuang Wei's hand, and said with a smile, "You look thinner than on TV, did Gu Yan take good care of you?"

Zhuang Wei pursed his lips and replied, "He treats me very well."

Wang Yuehua smiled deeper, and said: "You don't need to speak well of him, I know what my son is like, and you have to bear it more."

"You are too polite." Faced with Wang Yuehua's politeness, Zhuang Wei was a little at a loss.

"Come in, Gu Ao, Gu Xu and Xiaoyao are all here. Gu Han won't be back until evening." Wang Yuehua said as she led Zhuang Wei home.

"The fourth child and Chen Chen came back too early." Gu Yan said.

"They came back last night." Wang Yuehua said with a smile.

The housekeeper and servant followed them into the door, and the door was closed, cutting off the cold outside, leaving only the warmth of home.
