Lawyer Gao is secretly jealous again

Chapter 28 You Are My Face
"It's half past four..."

"Huh? What time is it? Half past four?" Ding Jiaxu was startled and suddenly stood up from the bed.

The quilt slipped off her body, and she immediately reached out to grab the quilt to block her exposure.

"You said it was half past four? It's so late, why didn't you call me? What time do we have to arrive at the mansion?" Ding Jiaxu approached Gao Huoling and asked.

The quilt was pulled away by Ding Jiaxu, and Gao Huoling had to be shirtless, but he was very calm and not embarrassed at all.

He supported his arms behind his back, stood up slightly, then stretched out his hand and pinched Ding Jiaxu's cheek.

"Silly boy, if you don't rest and recuperate now, how are you going to deal with the Gao family later?"

"You are my face..."

"My parents' faces..."

"What are you talking about? Your parents' faces..." Ding Jiaxu suddenly understood.

"Then...then I don't know anything about your family. If I don't do well, wouldn't it be a slap in the face...I only know about your affairs from gossip magazines. I don't know whether it's true or not. You..."

Ding Jiaxu reached out and slapped Gao Huoling hard.

"I told you not to make a fuss in broad daylight. Look, it's already late and I haven't picked out my clothes or put on my makeup yet."

"The one who's lost is yours..." Ding Jiaxu slapped Gao Huoling's arm again, then got out of bed wrapped in the quilt.

"No rush...it's okay to go later." Gao Huoling shouted at Ding Jiaxu's back.

The quilt was completely wrapped up by Ding Jiaxu, and now he was not even covered at all, he was really honest with himself.

He couldn't help but laugh, and stood up to tidy himself up.

Ding Jiaxu rushed barefoot to the bedroom downstairs where she had slept before. Her clothes were all inside.

She spent a long time choosing clothes, but she really didn't know which one to choose and started to worry.

It's almost five o'clock now, and it would not be good for Shanshan to be late. She and Gao Huoling acted without prior consultation, and she didn't even know whether the Gao family would accept her.

And she knew that Gao Huoling's parents and Gao Jinghan's parents had always been secretly competing with each other. Gao Jinghan's father was an illegitimate child, so he was directly inferior to Gao Huoling's father. But later, he married Miss Luo and became equal to Gao Huoling's father.

At least the Gao family has to consider the Luo family's face.

Now Gao Huoling has obtained the marriage certificate with her without the consent of his family elders. What if she fails to behave properly and brings shame to Gao Huoling and his parents? What will happen if this gets out?

Moreover, Gao Huoling's grandparents are still alive. It is heard that his grandfather no longer takes care of family affairs, but his grandmother is still in charge. Everyone is afraid of her because she is a serious old woman.

For a moment, Ding Jiaxu became worried.

She just stood in front of the closet wrapped in a quilt.

She used to like wearing short skirts, but it was obviously inappropriate for her to see her elders dressed like that.

I am afraid that long skirts will make me look old-fashioned.

"Are you planning to pick clothes until dark?" At some point, Gao Huoling had already put on his clothes and was standing at the bedroom door.

Ding Jiaxu turned his head to look at Gao Huoling. It was convenient for men. A suit was all they needed. Unlike girls, they had too many fancy clothes and it would be hard to look at them all.

"I'm afraid of embarrassing you...I'm really scared."

"I wasn't that scared when I ran away from Ding's house alone that day."

Ding Jiaxu looked at Gao Huoling with confusion.

He walked into the bedroom, picked at the clothes casually with one hand, and then took out a set casually.

"That's it, be casual...it's not a wedding...it's just your husband's family birthday party." "Don't make it sound so easy. Isn't it embarrassing for you if your wife isn't pretty or smart? How can you compare with Gao Jinghan?"

"Actually, your other half is really important. I... have you considered it carefully?" Ding Jiaxu looked at Gao Huoling, his hands tightly clutching the thin blanket wrapped around him.

"If you don't change your clothes, I don't mind doing it again in this room..."

Gao Huoling moved his hand holding the clothes forward. Seeing that he was teasing her again, Ding Jiaxu immediately took the clothes.

"Stop making trouble and get out of here. I need to change my clothes. You picked them out... Don't blame me if you get embarrassed later."

Ding Jiaxu reached out to push Huo Ling up, then closed the door.

Gao Huoling smiled and didn't continue teasing Ding Jiaxu.

He returned to the living room, waited for Ding Jiaxu to get himself ready, and then went to the Gao family mansion together.

He was bored and just thought of picking up his cell phone, only to find that there were many missed calls and WeChat messages on his phone.

All the missed calls were from Meng Haoyun.

Gao Huoling knew that it was because he did not go to the law firm and did not tell Meng Haoyun the reason, so Meng Haoyun became anxious.

Most of the messages on WeChat were probably sent by Meng Haoyun.

Gao Huoling calmly opened WeChat.

Meng Haoyun asked him where he had been and why he didn't come to the law firm, and even Liu Jin was missing.

The other message came from Liu Jin. She said that the household registration had been completed and the Ding family's household registration book had also been sent to them. She asked him whether his household registration book would be sent to his home tomorrow or in the evening.

Gao Huoling saw the message shortly after it was sent, and replied that it could just be left in his office.

They will go to the Gao family mansion in a while, and there will be no one here if they are sent here.

Since Liu Jin hasn't returned to the law firm yet, the gossip that he and Ding Jiaxu have obtained their marriage certificate has not yet reached everyone's ears.

Gao Huoling replied to Meng Haoyun's message with an incomprehensible smile on his face.

I was very busy today, so I didn't come to the law firm. Don't ask me why.

Meng Haoyun received a message from Gao Huoling, and the hand that had just typed the three words "why" chose the delete key.

He did not forget that today was Gao Huoling's birthday. In the past, he had the habit of returning to the Gao family mansion at night to celebrate his birthday. In addition, his current relationship with Ji Shuyi was somewhat awkward, so Meng Haoyun did not ask any more questions.

Deep down, he still felt sorry for Gao Huoling.

In the end, he just replied, "I know, happy birthday."

Gao Huoling knew that Meng Haoyun understood him, so it was necessary for him to tell his good brother in person about the marriage certificate.

After Ding Jiaxu finished washing up, she put on the clothes that Gao Huoling had chosen for her. It looked like he had just picked them up casually, but in fact, every set of clothes in the wardrobe was sent to him by the store manager, and he had chosen them and asked Liu Jin to get them.

So they all fit Ding Jiaxu's temperament very well.

"I'm fine..." Ding Jiaxu changed his clothes and walked out.

Gao Huoling put down his phone and looked at Ding Jiaxu with a look of surprise on his face.

The clothes are nice-looking, and I thought Ding Jiaxu would look good in them, but I didn’t expect them to look so good.

He stared at Ding Jiaxu blankly, lost in thought.
