C59 (1/2)

Xia Lan followed behind him, speechless. Did she invite him to be her guest?

He didn't have the key, so no matter how fast he walked, he wouldn't be able to enter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait downstairs for a few hours.

”I almost went to the police.” Gu Xi Jue glanced at her.

Without waiting for her to ask, Gu Xi Jue continued, ”I'm afraid that you will lose my son.”

”...” Xia Lan cursed angrily in her heart. As expected, she couldn't be too arrogant.

After entering the house, Gu Xi Jue placed the bag on the table, then sat himself on the sofa, looking a little tired.

”Dad, did you bring me a present?” Xiao Ze stepped on his short legs and ran to Gu Xi Jue's side, using his pair of black eyes to look left and right, his face filled with anticipation.

Gu Xi Jue opened his luggage case, and took out a wrapped box from inside, and handed it over to Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze opened it and saw that it was a limited edition Transformer, only available in Europe. He had asked for it from his father before, and his father even said that he wouldn't buy it for him.

Xiao Ze played, and suddenly raised his head: ”Father, did you bring the beautiful auntie a present?”

Being asked this question, Gu Xi Jue was slightly startled by the way he rummaged through the box. If Xiao Ze did not ask, he could very easily take out the thing and give it to her.

However... Now that Xiao Ze asked this, it was like something had been pierced, and it would make him feel awkward.

If he didn't take it out now, when would he take it out? Take it out. It's like being stabbed in the heart.

Gu Xi Jue's distinct fingers slowly rummaged through the box, his brain already quickly working, thinking about how to say it without feeling awkward, and how to not be too deliberate.

After a few seconds, he had already found the box and passed it to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan took it, and said in pleasant surprise: ”I have one too, thank you Gourmet.”

”I happened to see it. I bought it while I was at it.” This was the temporary excuse that Gu Xi Jue came up with after thinking about it for a few seconds.

The box was very small, but it was wrapped beautifully, so it was impossible to tell what was inside. Xia Lan did not open it right in front of him, she only turned around and took it into her bedroom.

Coming out from the bedroom, Xia Lan heard her ask Xiao Ze: ”Have you finished your homework?”

”Not yet.” Xiao Ze answered as he finished the new Transformer.

Xia Lan thought that Gu Xi Jue was going to bring Xiao Ze back, but who knew that he would actually say: ”Then let's quickly write and play after that.”

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Xia Lan and said, ”I'll rest first.”

Xia Lan watched as his big hands undid the cut of her suit, then took it off and threw it on the other side of the sofa. She looked very tired.

As he laid down, Gu Xi Jue immediately closed his eyes.

Xia Lan thought, did Gourmet not sleep last night? Why does he look so tired?

In fact, what Xia Lan did not expect was that Gu Xi Jue's time difference was chaotic, she had just arrived in Switzerland and was busy negotiating, the moment they finished discussing, after getting used to the time in Switzerland, she had already returned home without stopping, and the time difference had already turned into chaos.
