Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Gu Nianbin is so stingy

And then deep wounds, will eventually slowly heal with time, Gu Guangxian finally into the ground, Fang Yaru recuperated in the hospital for more than a week, discharged from the hospital, the state of mind is better, just a lot more silent than before.

Because Gu Guangxian had just passed away, Lu Xiaoxian had to stay in G City to accompany Fang Yaru, so Lu Dingxian’s family of three also stayed for the New Year.

A large family dinner around the table, although there are only two people less, but like to take away all the laughter, only Lu Haochen and Gu Shanshan hard to interject and create an atmosphere, coupled with Gu Niannian naive, childish words, the elders are finally willing to sell face, this meal is not eaten tasteless.

Winter night silence, Lu Xiaoxian stood alone in front of the window, looking at the plum blossoms downstairs, thirty nights without the moon, but the starry sky is bright, shining a light on the earth, vaguely see the tiny plum blossom branches, the wind is leisurely, the dark scent comes, refreshing.

Lu Xiaoxian took a deep breath and thought of the red plums blossoming on the other side of the ancestral mansion, they would bloom even more beautifully, wouldn’t they. If it snowed, the white snow and red plums would be as beautiful as a painting.

She looked up at the sky, full of stars and big and bright, the city is not allowed to firecrackers, the sky is clearer than the ancestral home side, is a kind of inky blue, the sky corners vaguely red, probably because of today’s 30th, everywhere is lit up, there is some light pollution.

Standing silently for a moment, she put on her coat, wrapped a woolen scarf around her neck, and went downstairs.

Someone was smoking under the sycamore tree, the red aura between his fingers was bright and dark, his back was to her, tilting his head as he surveyed the tree, hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head, looking a little surprised, “Why did you come out? Can’t sleep?”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled, “If you fall asleep, you will be woken up by the firecrackers later, so you might as well stay awake.” And asked, “Brother, what are you looking at?”

“This tree is so tall!” Lu Haochen said, “It’s thick and strong, it should be some years old, right?”

“I heard Nian Bin say that he planted it when he was seven years old, together with Xia Xiaowan,” Lu Xiaoxian did some mental math and said, “It’s almost thirty years old.”

“No wonder it’s so high,” Lu Haochen said, “I heard Gu Shanshan say that when you first came here you were cleaning the leaves that fell from this tree?”

“Right,” Lu Xiaoxian nodded, looking at the tree with a great deal of emotion, “Time flies, it’s been more than eight years, remembering when I first came here, it’s like a dream.”

Lu Haochen looked at her, “Tell brother about your past.”

“Okay, if you want to hear it, I’ll say it.” Lu Xiaoxian said, “Go, I’ll take you to a place.”

Lu Haochen also did not ask, followed her, it turned out to be a flower bed behind the tree, there is a row of shrubs in front of it to cover it, sitting inside, people outside do not pay attention to look at it, can not see them at all.

Lu Xiaoxian was just in the process of sitting down when Lu Haochen said, “Wait.” He removed his own scarf and padded it before saying, “Sit down.”

Lu Xiaoxian hesitated and said, “Forget it, let’s not sit here, let’s go to the flower room, it’s warm there.”

“No, it’s right here, it seems like you come here often.” Lu Haochen pulled her to sit down, he actually quite liked staying with Lu Xiaoxian in such a small space, feeling closer.

Lu Xiaoxian had to sit down and said, “When I first came here, I was very timid and always liked to hide here and stare at the sculpture in that fountain in front of me.”

Lu Haochen then laughed, “So this is your lair!”

Lu Xiaoxian also smiled, “Sort of, when I first came here I was ugly, my hair was yellow and skinny, Nianbin later said that he thought I was a child, but at that time I was clearly eighteen.”

“So ugly that he’s got his eye on you?”

“Yeah, I thought it was weird too …”

On a starry winter night, the two siblings sat by the flowerbed and talked eloquently, basically Lu Xiaoxian was talking and Lu Haochen was the listener.

In fact, Lu Xiaoxian rarely said this much, but at this moment, she was willing to speak freely, she needed an audience.

She said a lot, said and Gu Nianbin’s first acquaintance, said she was very afraid of him at that time, as soon as she saw him, she ran away, just like a mouse saw a cat …

Lu Haochen always smile, in fact, there is a blunt knife cut in the heart one by one, not pain, but he tried to hold back, because the woman around him needs to release, she is too repressed, too tired, within a year, her husband disappeared, her father-in-law died of illness, Gu’s building fire, and there is a huge company needs to be guarded by her, she used her weak shoulders to hold up all of this, it is really too tiring, he was very heartbroken, although far away in the Gulf of Asia, but can imagine her hard work. But he can imagine her hard work.

There was just nothing he could do about it, they were so far apart and there was that vexing relationship.

Although it wasn’t too cold this winter, the night breeze still made Lu Xiaoxian shrink her neck. Lu Haochen hesitated for a moment and slowly reached out his hand to gather her in his arms, Lu Xiaoxian struggled to sit up, Lu Haochen pressed her down, “Xiaoxian, rest in brother’s arms for a while, you’re too tired.”

Lu Xiaoxian heard him say this, so she didn’t insist, leaning in Lu Haochen’s embrace was really warm, she went on to say, “Later we lived in the apartment, Nianbin was very good to me, I used to call him my brother at that time because he didn’t allow me to call him young master, and I didn’t dare to call him by his name, so I called him that. Later on, my Abba came to me and said that Nianbin and I were brother and sister, and there was almost a misunderstanding, after that, he wouldn’t let me call him brother, isn’t he quite stupid to be jealous of this?”

Lu Haochen hugged her, a complex emotion welling up in his heart, borrowing his brother’s identity before she was willing to let him give her a hug. The skinny body wrapped in his arms was really like a child, causing him heartache and pity.

“It’s silly.” Lu Haochen suddenly asked, “If I don’t let you call me brother either, what would you call me?”

“But you’re my brother!”

“What if it isn’t?”

Lu Xiaoxian thought about it and said, “Then I’ll call you Mr. Lu.”

“Can’t we be friends?”

“Nian Bin used to set rules for me, there are four no-no’s,” Lu Xiaoxian then read those four rules to Lu Haochen.

Lu Haochen said, “Gu Nianbin is so petty.”

“That’s because he loves me.” Lu Xiaoxian fell back with a hint of smugness, “He doesn’t like to see me getting too close to other men, except for my brother, of course.” She rubbed herself in his arms and found a more comfortable position.

Lu Haochen looked up at the sky and said “Xiao Xian, stop talking, the wind is pouring into your stomach, you’ll catch a cold.”

Lu Xiaoxian happened to be tired of talking as well, so she listened to him and really stopped talking, quietly leaning against him and looking at the sculpture of the bathing woman in the fountain in silence.

The two men were each thinking about something on their minds when they were suddenly startled by a loud noise and stood up from the flower bed.

It turned out to be Xiao Bonian setting off the New Year’s Eve firecrackers, Lu Haochen pulled Lu Xiaoxian around from the side, but scared Xiao Bonian a bit, and asked loudly, “Young granny, young master Lu, where are you guys hitting at such a late hour?”

Lu Haochen also said loudly, “We were talking over there, and were frightened by this firecracker, I didn’t realize it was so late.”

A long string of firecrackers, fire letter fuse flashing red and blue light, crackling all the way up, exploding countless red guns, like the most gorgeous henna.

Soon the sound of firecrackers subsided, leaving only the strong smell of smoke.

Lu Haochen said, “Why don’t we set off fireworks.”

Lu Xiaoxian said, “Good, Nian Nian must still be awake, she’ll be most happy.”

So the two went inside, Lu Xiaoxian went to Fang Yaru’s house to call Gu Niannian, and Lu Haochen went to the storage room to pick out fireworks.

The sadder you are, the more you have to do things that make you happy, Lu Haochen thinks so, Lu Xiaoxian also thinks so, watching a bright fireworks rose to the mid-air, exploded into a large gorgeous flowers, gold threads and silver threads like spread out, suddenly illuminated the night.

Lu Xiaoxian was full of joy, suddenly felt that the world is still so beautiful, as long as you have confidence in life, even the biggest gullies can be crossed.

Gu Nian Nian clapped her hands and screamed and laughed, Lu Haochen looked at the joyful mother and daughter, not revealing a heartfelt smile, wishing he could, let them keep laughing like this.

In the middle of the night this movement is not small, Gu Shanshan was also lured out, four people together point, together, watching the four small fireworks at the same time on the floor tiles turn up, let out dazzling fire, we all screamed in surprise, even Lu Xiaoxian are like a child jumping and jumping.

Later on, they played with lightning strips, stretching far away and flinging them up, tracing various patterns in the night sky, and their eyes were a little blurry from the sight. Gu Shanshan and Gu Niannian flung them while going to scare Lu Haochen, chasing and messing around on the grass, Lu Xiaoxian called out, “Be careful, be careful …” while holding up her cell phone to take pictures of them.

Xiao Bo Nian stood far away from the steps to see, gratified smile, this is the New Year’s atmosphere, although the dinner time is also smiling, but then the smile is stiff, stereotypical, like a puppet show, the smile is painted on the face.

And now, they forget the hurt for a while, playing and laughing in pain, the dead are gone, and the living are as good as they are, in order to let the people who left truly rest in peace.

The night was deep and dewy, and Xiao Bo Nian told the group of people who were playing madly to go back to bed.

Stopped, only to feel a little cold, Lu Haochen gathered the collar of his coat, looked at Lu Xiaoxian in front of him, from the time he came up to G City, he had never seen her really openly smiling, but just now, she smiled, her eyebrows stretched, smiling very happily, those big clear eyes regained a fascinating luster, like the brightest cold star in the sky.

But even the happiest time is over, like the ashes of fireworks blown away by the wind into the boundless night sky, all the splendor of the world is lost. Only the blackness of the night surrounded them again.

Will she wake up tomorrow and smile like that? Perhaps at night, will she shed tears of sorrow?

He would not have had such a deep experience when he was in Yawan, and when he was around her and saw the sadness hidden in her eyes, he knew that he could not turn a blind eye to it.

Lu Haochen’s heart was in chaos, not knowing what to do in the future. In his heart, he just hoped that at least before leaving G City, he could always make her so happy, always so cheerful.
