C49

In just a split-second, a large hand had tightly embraced her into its embrace.

Xia Lan sobbed, "It's me."

The heavens were not unkind to him, and he finally saw her again.

In these past few years, he had searched everywhere in the great rivers and north, searching everywhere for someone called Xia Lan. He had been disappointed too many times, and he had never given up.

Fortunately, it was her this time.

"Why are you hugging my beautiful aunt?" Xiao Ze was eating his cake and raised his head when he heard the crying sound. Impossible, there was actually a man hugging her beautiful aunt, making him angry to the point that he put down his cake and stood on the sofa, looking at Xiao Yan like a little monster.

Xiao Yan and Xia Lan were interrupted by a baby's voice. Xia Lan wiped her tears and finally reacted, returning to reality.

"This is..." The moment Xiao Yan saw Xiao Ze, he was immediately attracted by the little fellow's pair of big eyes. These eyes resembled Xia Lan too much.

In Xiao Ze's eyes, this man was unreliable, he had rushed over and hugged his beautiful aunt, and was acting like a hooligan!

Seeing the wetness on Xiao Yan's face, he instantly became clear-headed. The man in front of him was just as charming as he was a few years ago. Compared to the temperament of the boy next door, he was much calmer.

She wanted to hide. She was especially afraid that Xiao Yan would ask her where she had been all these years, and what had happened a few years ago.

She was too ashamed to say it, to say it.

Such a beautiful big brother Xiao Yan was destined not to be hers anymore.

"Xiao Ze, don't speak like that. Who taught you to be so rude?" Suddenly, a low voice came out, everyone turned to see that Gu Xi Jue was just a few steps away from reaching them.

Xiao Ze unhappily pouted and muttered: "Who asked him to hug my beautiful aunt, that's yours."

Even if his voice was softer, Xiao Yan could still hear him clearly. He looked at Xia Lan with an inquiring gaze.

"You know the Gourmet?" Xiao Yan asked Xia Lan, he seemed to know her, but he never expected her to know Gu Xi Jue.

Without waiting for Xia Lan's reply, Xiao Yan asked again, "What is your relationship?"

Xiao Yan had disappeared for a few years, and with Gu Xi Jue's son protecting her like this, he also had a pair of identical big eyes. Han Ke Yun also said that she was Gu Xi Jue's secretary.

In the few years that he couldn't find her, she was by Gu Xi Jue's side?

Xia Lan's heart was filled with inferiority complex, she did not want to disturb Big Brother Xiao Yan, she could not be delusional towards Big Brother Xiao Yan, she hoped that he would abandon her.

He did not know why, but Xia Lan had ruthlessly forced himself into a corner, and after mulling for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Gu Xi Jue is my godfather."

Gu Xi Jue's eyes that were half closed was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, his sharp eyes looked straight at the nonsense Xia Lan was spouting.

If looks could kill, Xia Lan would have died on the spot.

Gu Xi Jue's face instantly darkened, the veins on his forehead throbbed as he glared at Xia Lan. What did he hear?

Xia Lan looked at Gu Xi Jue's big hands that were clenched into fists, as if he would punch her at any time. In his heart, he was actually very afraid. It was her who said that Gu Xi Jue was her godfather.

She didn't know what was going on with her brain, but she suddenly came up with this idea.

Seeing Xiao Yan's shocked and terrified expression, Xia Lan felt that she had succeeded. In today's society, the definition of "godfather" had long been demonized.

The only thing was that he was slightly afraid of Gu Xi Jue. The young and handsome Gourmet would probably beat her to death if she were to foster father.

Xia Lan bit the corner of her lips, looking at Gu Xi Jue in embarrassment, afraid that he would see through her.

Gu Xi Jue was quiet for a long time. He squinted his eyes to look at Xia Lan and then looked at Xiao Yan.

"This is?" Gu Xi Jue turned and asked Xia Lan.

Xia Lan immediately replied: "This is a friend of mine from a young age, Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan saw through everything in one go and guessed everything.

Just a few days ago, he had heard of this name, and now, he could already see the person himself. He was talented, handsome, and refined. He was indeed the type that young ladies were infatuated with the most.

Gu Xi Jue moved to Xia Lan's side and placed his arm around her slender waist, lowering his head to whisper into her ear. "You sure have amazing guts."

Xia Lan trembled as she shivered. She naturally knew that he was referring to using him.

"Since he's been a friend since he was young, can he still be considered a childhood friend?" Gu Xi Jue said in an unflustered manner.

Xia Lan looked up at him. The ridicule in his eyes was too strong, so she could only bite the bullet and nod.

As for Xiao Yan, the expression in his eyes had already changed from shock to grief. He never would have thought that her pure and cute blue color would become like this.

He could not accept that someone he had spent so much effort to find for a few years actually became someone else's goddaughter, and that person was not an old man, but a famous genius in A City, Gu Xi Jue.

"Greetings, can we leave now?" Gu Xi Jue had nothing to say to Xiao Yan, so he did not want to stay here any longer under the identity of "godfather".

Xia Lan nodded her head, she did not say much, and from the beginning till the end, she did not raise her eyes, and when Gu Xi Jue held her waist and turned around, she did not even raise her head to look at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at her figure quietly, his eyes completely red, his fists clenched, and shouted unwillingly: "Could it be that you don't even want to see your father anymore?"

Xia Lan stopped moving and turned around to look at Xiao Yan. Seeing the change in his eyes, she asked, "Is anything wrong with my father?"

She had never thought about what would happen to her father. After all, she was the leader of the Xia family. After all, she was the master of the family. How could he behave like this?
