Banquet

At this time of year, Zhao Rou's body will be much weaker than usual.

"mom."

Zhao Rou leaned on the bed and smiled when she heard the sound.

"When did you come back?" She was about to get up from the bed when Gu Yan stopped her.

Gu Yan supported her and said: "You are not feeling well, don't get up."

He pulled the quilt for his mother, lay on the edge of the bed, and buried his head on her knee.

Through the quilt, he closed his eyes and snuggled up to his mother as he did when he was a child, absorbing the warmth from her.

Zhao Rou stroked him gently, her slender, fair fingers ran through her son's short and hard hair, her heart felt soft.

"Mom, I might have someone I like."

Gu Yan's voice came from under the quilt, with a slight nasal sound.

Zhao Rou kept smiling, and said gently: "Who is so happy to be in love with my son?"

Gu Yan laughed softly.

Then he rubbed against his mother like a puppy, and said softly, "I'm very happy to see him, and I want to see him all day long."

"He lost his temper with me, and I just wanted to coax him and make him happy."

"He ignored me, I just wanted to tease him, and I wanted to laugh when he got angry at me."

"It hurts to see him hurt."

"Seeing him laughing with other people makes him very angry."

"His eyes will shine like gold sand hidden deep in the desert."

"Mom, am I in love with him?"

Zhao Rou smiled softly, her eyes were full of reminiscence, Rourou said: "Silly boy, this is not liking, what is it?"

Why didn't I go the same way when I was young.

It's a pity that no one told me at that time that this was just love.

"But he doesn't like me." Gu Yan poked his head out from under the quilt with a deep tone.

Feeling her son's hostility, Zhao Rou asked, "Is that because you haven't done enough?"

Gu Yan was surrounded by lingering irritability, and he said sullenly: "How is it enough? I have given him everything."

Zhao Rou murmured: "If she didn't have more plans, then maybe you didn't understand her intentions."

"He's not that kind of person." Gu Yan said decisively.

Zhao Rou rolled his eyes at him, and said seriously: "That means you expressed it wrong."

"You spent all your money on giving her a cart full of bananas, but she likes apples. How can people like you?"

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said to his mother: "I probably know what he wants, but I need your help."

He whispered something.

Zhao Rou's eyes were slightly cold: "You want to invite grandpa?" She said slowly, "Which family is this child with such a big face?"

Gu Yan smiled softly: "Just mention it to grandpa, and I will do the rest by myself."

Zhao Rou asked strangely: "I'm helping you, can't you even know her name?"

Big families understand by analogy, and one name can almost understand the entire background of that person.

Gu Yan concealed the person's name and background like this, and Zhao Rou felt suspicious.

"Our family has no family status. If you like someone, you can bring it back."

Gu Yan slowly raised his head to meet his mother's caring and gentle eyes.

"I know that you will be worried, so I don't want to hide it from you."

He pondered for a moment, looked calmly, and said slowly: "His name is Shen Yu."

Zhao Rou thought for a moment, but she had no impression, so she asked, "Daughter of the Shen family?"

It was the first time that Gu Yan showed his toughness and strength in front of his mother. He paused every word: "No, he is a man."

"The person I like, he is a man."

The bedroom was silent, except for the slight sound of breathing.

"What did you say?" After a long time, Zhao Rou spoke slowly.

Zhao Rou's usually soft and beautiful eyes suddenly changed, and a snowstorm was coming.

"Gu Yan, how dare you say such a thing in front of me?" Zhao Rou sternly said.

"How dare you... dare to say such things in front of me?" Her voice was trembling and her words were out of tune.

Gu Yan supported his mother's slightly trembling body, and replied calmly, "I dare not."

"I dare not tell father, dare not tell grandpa, dare not tell grandpa, dare not tell anyone around me, except you."

"You conceived in October, gave birth to me, and you are the one who understands me best and loves me the most."

"I dare not tell anyone but you."

Zhao Rou interrupted him, and said sharply: "It's not that you dare not, you've got my temper right."

Zhao Rou looked at him coldly: "You are sure that I will not participate in your affairs and that I will not make a move, so you dare to say such things in front of me."

"Gu Yan, you actually plotted against me." Zhao Rou said sharply

"I dare not, I ask you for help just because I have the only bargaining chip."

Gu Yan suddenly lifted up his clothes, his knees sank, and he knelt down in front of Zhao Rou.

"Myself." He said quietly.

Zhao Rou's chest rose and fell, she was already extremely angry, she tremblingly said: "You threaten me with yourself?"

"It's not a threat." Gu Yan's face was as dark as water, and he said softly, "It's a plea."

"Only you care about this bargaining chip. I am begging you to help me protect him."

Zhao Rou leaned on the bed, her eyes were cold and tired.

Mother and son, one kneeling on the ground and the other lying on the bed.

When Gu Mingyuan opened the door and came in, he froze at the door.

After a while, he asked with great interest: "When did our Young Master Gu start singing?"

He glanced at the lumpy noodles, and said dissatisfiedly: "Gu Yan, have you finished your big play yet? Go down and make another bowl."

Gu Yan moved slightly and looked at Zhao Rou.

Zhao Rou didn't even look at him, she said to Gu Mingyuan, "When did you come here?"

Gu Mingyuan signaled Gu Yan to get up, and then said with a smile: "I'm not an actor, how could I come from behind the scenes."

Zhao Rou observed Gu Mingyuan's expression, Gu Mingyuan was smiling as always, he held Zhao Rou's hand as if to comfort her.

Zhao Rou was slightly relieved, closing her eyes tiredly to calm her mind.

Gu Mingyuan stared at his son who closed the door and left, a complex and difficult light flashed in his eyes.

A few hours later, Gu Yan really came up with a bowl.

The light in the bedroom was still on, and the parents were still up.

Gu Yan gently placed the porridge beside her mother's bed and was about to leave.

Gu Mingyuan suddenly said, "Won't you say goodnight to us?"

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the feigned mother and the majestic father.

Then he said softly, "Good night, Mom and Dad."

After Gu Yan left, Zhao Rou asked Gu Mingyuan to take the noodles away.

Gu Mingyuan corrected: "It's not noodles, it's your favorite sea cucumber and millet porridge."

"You really don't want to eat? I threw it out." He got up and was about to throw it away.

Zhao Rou suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Gu Mingyuan scolded his son in displeasure: "This Nizi has been cooking in a casserole for so long in the middle of the night, doesn't he know that we are going to rest? You can leave as soon as you serve it. Why are you still talking nonsense to greet us? It woke you up, didn't you?"

Zhao Rou said coldly: "Why do I hear that you let him talk?"

Gu Mingyuan said innocently: "Then should I throw away the porridge now?"

Zhao Roumei stared, and Gu Mingyuan immediately served the porridge.

While his wife was drinking porridge with her head down, Gu Mingyuan said: "I'll send you a car to take you to live with your father-in-law for two days. I have too many things to do next, so I won't be able to accompany you often."

Zhao Rou Sheng Congee's hand paused slightly, she looked at Gu Mingyuan and said, "Did you really come in just now?"

Gu Mingyuan spread his hands and said, "Ma'am, I also want to make you clean for two days because I want you to see that traitor."

Zhao Rou put down the porridge, leaned against Gu Mingyuan, and said softly, "He gave me a big problem."

Gu Mingyuan hugged her and comforted her in a low voice: "You are the one who loves him the most, and you will handle it well."

At noon the next day, the car sent by Gu Mingyuan was waiting at the door.

Gu Yan was quiet and obedient all morning.

After he sent his mother to the car, he showed a smile to Zhao Rou, that smile was full of cheating and pleading, a slight crack appeared on Zhao Rou's taut expression.

She waved Gu Yan away, and as the car drove away, Zhao Rou showed a helpless smile.

"I'm the one who loves him the most. It's like the old and the young are united to bully me alone." She murmured.

As the saying goes, mother and child are connected, Gu Yan has been paying attention to Gu Mingyuan since last night.

He even wanted to drive his dad to work himself.

Gu Mingyuan is still the same, there is no lack of posture that should be put on for his son, and there is no place where he should sneer at Young Master Gu.

But he rejected Gu Yan's proposal to drive him.

Unless it is an emergency, he has always maintained the habit of walking to work.

The guards and the driver followed from a distance, not daring to get close to the kind-faced and friendly head of the Gu family.

The son intends to send it off, so Gu Mingyuan is naturally happy to have someone to accompany him, so the father and son walked slowly, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Gu Yan was brought up by his grandfather and grandfather in turn since he was a child, and he was brought up by his parents when he grew up.

The two elders would come over early to wait for the grandson and grandson of Jin and grandson every year and holidays and Jia Guyan's birthday.

Except for Gu Yan's own father, he was not in a hurry at all, and occasionally sneered at his son, becoming the most casual person in the whole family towards Gu Yan.

The aloneness of the two father and son was a little awkward, and Gu Mingyuan took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

"Gu Yan, I have no demands on you in the past, and I will not interfere in the future."

Jiangshuitangtang, willows Yiyi.

Gu Mingyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "I've always been proud of you now that you've grown up."

Gu Mingyuan remembered that when Gu Yan was just born, he was a small soft ball, no more than the length of his index finger, and when he was babbling and shouting "PAPA" for the first time, he couldn't help feeling soft in his heart.

Gu Mingyuan said lightly: "If one day, you have someone you like, I will ask you."

Gu Yan looked at him quietly.

Gu Mingyuan's voice was full of indescribable pain, and he said in a low voice——

"Protect yourself and protect those you love."

This kind of pain was only for a moment, and Gu Mingyuan then returned to his usual relaxed and casual attitude. He patted the boy who was already taller than him, and said lightly: "Do the right thing, your parents, your family, will be your strong support backing."

"Don't miss your lover, it's a lifetime regret."

Gu Mingyuan said lightly.
