Gu Xi Jue's attitude was very haughty, but his tone was still considered humble, so the other party could feel his sincerity.
After sending the group off, Xia Lan raised her head and looked at Gu Xi Jue, who was standing beside her. She had only drank that little bit of wine tonight, so he had drank quite a bit.
A breeze blew past, blowing her long hair. She said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
The two of them walked on in silence.
Xia Lan was enjoying the peace and quiet.
The hotel where they ate was not far from where they were staying, so the two of them walked along the river bank.
"Thank you for today." Xia Lan suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Gu Xi Jue said.
"Thank you for holding the wine for me." If it wasn't for him blocking the wine for her, she would have drunk quite a lot today.
"I only know how to say it." Gu Xi Jue bit her lips, letting out a light snort of dissatisfaction.
"Then what else do you want?" Xia Lan asked coquettishly.
Gu Xi Jue narrowed his eyes and looked at her. A few seconds later, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Just do as I say?"
"Try your best to cooperate." Tonight, she was in a good mood, and felt that Gu Xi Jue was much more pleasing to the eye, so her tone of voice became a lot lighter.
"If you're grateful, then let me sleep with you." Gu Xi Jue's deep black eyes looked at her without blinking.
Xia Lan was startled, then her face flushed red, she turned to look at the surface of the river and scolded: "Scoundrel."
"You have no sincerity." Gu Xi Jue looked in front of him, not the least bit embarrassed.
What he said was true, and not a joke.
This idea wasn't something that he had only thought of today. It was just that after drinking today, he thought of it even more.
Xia Lan pretended not to hear anything.
However, after walking a few steps, Xia Lan felt dissatisfied. She turned her head and glared at him: "Gourmet, I realized that your recent joke is getting more and more out of hand."
Gu Xi Jue turned his head. He was drunk, but his eyes were clear.
Xia Lan said in a choked voice, it was not a joke …
Don't tell me he was still serious.
"Xia Lan, don't play dumb with me. I don't believe that you don't understand how I feel towards you." Gu Xi Jue stared at her as he walked, his gaze never leaving her face.
"..." Xia Lan really did not understand!
He was serious but from the way she looked, other than her current condition, he could tell that she was extremely infuriated.
Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew past, causing Xia Lan to shiver. It was unknown if it was because of his words or because of the cold.
Gu Xi Jue sighed helplessly as he took off the jacket on his body and covered her with it.
The wide clothes were draped over Xia Lan's body. Both of her hands were coiled inside the sleeves, and a large part of it was grown out, like a child secretly wearing adult clothes. It was a little comical.
Wearing his clothes, with the smell of him in her nose, she felt a little awkward. She raised her hand to take it off. "I'm not cold."
Gu Xi Jue pressed down with his big hand and ordered: "Dress, do not take it off."
"But I'm not cold." Xia Lan said.
"Even if it's not cold, wear it." Gu Xi Jue ordered in a deep voice, between his brows, he could feel a slight impatience.
"..." Xia Lan curled her lips. In order to not argue with him, she let him be.
"You're so old, yet you still don't know how to take care of yourself." Gu Xi Jue muttered.
Xia Lan looked away, and a faint smile rose from the corners of her mouth.
At this moment, Gu Xi Jue's order actually made her feel a bit of warmth.
Along the way back to the hotel and to take a bath in his own room, Xia Lan glanced at the suit on the sofa and forgot to return it to him.
Sometimes, she felt that Gu Xi Jue was concerned about her, but his cold words made her lose confidence.
As she laid on the bed after showering, she once again thought of what Gu Xi Jue had said by the river. He said that he was serious, and she should understand his feelings for her.
Actually, he understood.
However... She had no self-confidence, no self-esteem.
The next day, as if nothing had happened, the two of them went downstairs together for breakfast.
Just as Xia Lan sat down, she heard Gu Xi Jue say, "Let's go to Sea Blue Village after dinner."
"Mm. Alright." That was the main purpose of their trip, she knew.
Therefore, Xia Lan increased her eating speed, and before she could even eat a few bites, she burped.
After a few more hiccups, a large hand appeared in front of him, holding a cup of water.
He raised his head and saw the frown on his face. "Why are you in such a hurry? No one wants to snatch it away from you."
"It won't be long. Eat slowly."
"Oh." Xia Lan lowered her head and took small bites of the dish, looking extremely obedient and obedient.
This tact attracted Gu Xi Jue's attention, and he couldn't help but say: "If only he was normally so tame."
Xia Lan was stunned for two seconds, and retorted unhappily: "It's as if what happens to you normally."
"Yeah, I didn't do anything, but my reactions were a bit slow."
At the dinner table last night, the local leader said that he could give him a car to make it convenient for his travel for the past few days. Gu Xi Jue rejected him and rented a car for him to go to Sea Blue Village.
This village was actually an independent island. The Sea Blue Village's area was not big, but it was surrounded by sea on all four sides. Behind the village was an interconnected mountain range, and the air was especially good. In this cloudy country, it was a stark contrast.
There were no more than one hundred households in the village, but they were all united. The ancestors had lived on this island for generations, so they were used to living off fish. The seafood here was beautiful, and soon, there were more tourists.
Therefore, Gu Xi Jue took note of the atmosphere, environment and unprecedented commercial value of the place.
The villagers believed that this was their own territory, and that the people were very simple and honest. They did not know what was development and what was demolition. They only knew that the rich people outside were going to invade their homes.
Therefore, every time Luo Song brought the employees of the Yattai Group and the local government to the Sea Blue Village to discuss this matter, they would not even need to discuss the main topic. As soon as Luo Song brought the staff of the Yattai Group to the Sea Blue Village to discuss this matter,
The only way into the village was by boat.
Xia Lan felt a little seasick, but it was not that serious. It was just that her face was a little pale, which made Gu Xi Jue's heart tighten as she watched.
