Chapter 636 How Do You Know
Gu Xi tightened his hand holding the phone, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He Qinglan also knew that the matter she mentioned actually made Gu Xi embarrassed, but she still reported a date and said with a smile: "It's just a family gathering for a meal. I also know that you young people are not very good I like the atmosphere of the ancestral home, so I booked the banquet at the hotel."

"Even if it's just to have a meal." He Qinglan said this, obviously lowering his figure.

But Gu Xi still didn't respond, and she didn't want Gu Xi to be too embarrassing, so she found a step for her to go down: "If you are really busy and can't come, then it's okay..."

"Mother." Gu Xi interrupted He Qinglan.

After all, she was soft-hearted, and always felt that the grievances with Mr. Xiao could not be related to He Qinglan.

Although the relationship between Xiao Yan and He Qinglan is not particularly close, but seeing Xiao Yan greet her politely every time he sees her, Gu Xi can tell that Xiao Yan still respects He Qinglan very much.

Because of her, Xiao Yan and Mr. Xiao had already become tense, so the relationship between Xiao Yan and He Qinglan couldn't just be so rigid.

And... the 60th birthday is also a big day of celebration.

If she refused, even if He Qinglan didn't say anything, she would feel regretful and uncomfortable in her heart.

Thinking of this, she hesitated for a while and replied slowly: "Mom, you also know that I haven't officially joined the team so I'm not busy, but Xiao Yan's company has a lot of things to do. The days you said I've made a note of it, and I'll ask Xiao Yan about his itinerary later."

"If he can be free that day." Gu Xi paused, pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If there is time, we will definitely go there."

Gu Xi didn't directly refuse, which already surprised He Qinglan.

Gu Xi could even feel her excitement and joy from her tone.

Originally, He Qinglan was Xiao Yan's elder, so it was only natural for Xiao Yan to celebrate his birthday with her.

But now... just because of those twists and turns in the middle, such a happy thing has come to such an embarrassing point.

Gu Xi didn't even know how he managed to be polite with He Qinglan later on.

It felt like the moment she hung up the phone, she breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she was suddenly released from confinement.

She was not in a hurry to find Xiao Yan, she went to the kitchen to get a cup of warm water from the water dispenser, sat on the sofa in the living room, drank the water and sorted out her thoughts.

When Xiao Yan came out of the study, he saw her sitting on the sofa with a water glass in her hand, lost in thought, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan walked to her side and sat down, reached out and stroked her forehead, "Is there any discomfort?"

"No." Gu Xi shook his head, feeling a little confused. When he was weak, he always wanted to find someone to rely on.

She moved her body, snuggled a little closer to Xiao Yan's arms, and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"I processed two documents in the study." Xiao Yan touched the glass in her hand, felt that the water in it should have been completely cold, frowned and took the glass out of her hand and put it on the table , "Looking at the time, I thought it was time for you to wake up. I just came out and saw you sitting here in a daze."

He lowered his eyes to look at her, and asked again uncertainly: "Seeing that you don't look energetic, you're really all right."

"It's a little thing." When Gu Xi said this, he sat up straight and raised his head to look at him. "My mother called me just now."

"Mother?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously thought of Bai Murou, but seeing Gu Xi's expression was not the case, he paused for a while before realizing that she should be talking about He Qinglan.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that he was still too nervous and tried to relax his emotions, and then asked: "Why is she calling you? What's the matter with the old man?"

He just asked that casually, but when he asked this question, he had already rejected this possibility in his heart.

If something really happened to the old man, then He Qinglan would definitely be the first to contact him, there's no need to call Gu Xi around the corner.

She called Gu Xi now, but didn't contact him. There is only one possibility. She thinks it's the best choice to tell Gu Xi about it and let Gu Xi pass it on to him.

"It's not about the old man." Gu Xi added in a low voice, "She also said that the old man is not feeling well recently, but... I didn't ask carefully."

Xiao Yan reached out and touched her head to calm her emotions.

Gu Xi took a light breath, and then continued: "She said that it will be her birthday in a few days, and she wants her family to get together to celebrate... That is, you and I will go there together."

"And..." When she said this, she subconsciously closed her eyes, staring at the glass of cold water on the table, "Since everyone said they are family members, then... nothing unexpected, old man Should be there too."

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes and thought about it for a while, then calculated the date, and it is indeed He Qinglan's birthday in a few days.

But seeing Gu Xi like this...

He looked down at her, his eyes became more tender and compassionate: "You didn't reject her, you said you would contact her after discussing it with me, didn't you?"

When Xiao Yan said these words, Gu Xi raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?!"

She just said that He Qinglan called her, she didn't say her own decision yet, how could he guess it so easily.

"Fool." Xiao Yan smiled lowly, stopped her by the shoulder and let her lean into his arms again, "How can I still not understand with your little thoughts?"

"If you really rejected her decisively, why do you still need to sit here and spend so long thinking about it?" His voice was low and soft, but every sentence clearly dissected her thoughts, "And with you With that soft heart, as long as she says something sweet to you, you simply can't bear to refuse."

"I'm not soft-hearted at all!" Gu Xi wanted to retort stubbornly, but the more he said, the less confident he became, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "I just think... After all, birthdays are a good thing. If you refuse It's embarrassing for everyone."

Xiao Yan didn't respond, and the arms around her body couldn't help but tighten a bit more.

This is Gu Xi, this is like Gu Xi.

Obviously I will be entangled, but I still don't want to make others sad.

"If you really don't want to see the old man, then we'll go over there to show our face and pass the gift over, as long as we like it." Xiao Yan patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly, "Don't worry about it because of this." Things make you unhappy."
