Chapter 167 [5000 words]
She was silent, staring at the hole, and the wide but uneven lawn seemed to turn into a wide but unrestrained maze in that moment.
"Mayor Gu, Mayor Gu..." Linlin came over with a embarrassed look on her face.
Gu Nanxi looked back at her, but his hand was still wrapped around Ji Xinyao.
"That... Mayor Gu, I don't know either. Can you teach me in a while..." After saying that, Linlin blushed and smiled with anticipation.
"Yes!" It was not Gu Nanxi who spoke, but Ji Xinyao. She spoke directly for Gu Nanxi to agree to the request, and wanted to use this reason to break free from his arms. Unexpectedly, after she struggled for a while, she was suddenly pressed by him and refused to let her break away.
Gu Nanxi looked at her calmly, turned her head to look at Linlin for a moment, smiled, but said nothing, and signaled the two staff members to go over and teach her with their eyes.
Seeing the two staff members walking towards her, Linlin pouted secretly, but she didn't dare to say anything. She looked at Mayor Gu with envy and jealousy and hatred as she gently hugged Ji Xinyao and taught her to play. She lowered her head and went to the fairway next to her without any energy.
Xin Yao turned around and looked at Linlin, and secretly struggled for a while, but she didn't dare to make too many moves arouse suspicion.
"Let's continue." Gu Nanxi's peaceful voice was in his ears, and he gently patted her shoulder: "In this way, the direction of the shoulder rotation is larger."
The leaders under the awning stood up and were standing there looking at them. Lu Han also took a bottle of mineral water, stood there drinking water silently while watching them.
In this situation, she was not struggling or scolding, and she pushed him away and left directly. Did he be sure that she was in a dilemma now, was she forcing her to learn to play golf here, or did she force her to stay in his arms like this?
She exhaled and whispered in a bad look: "Learn if you want to learn."
After saying that, she turned her shoulders as he said, and her upper body turned towards him. But as soon as she turned around, she saw the soft smile in his eyes, as she used to stop, and her hand holding the club became even tighter.
"Release your hand." He lifted her hand holding the club slightly and adjusted the strength of her wrist: "Look at the direction of the hole, control the strength, don't use too much force or too light, that's right."
Ji Xinyao was not nervous at first, but looking at Gu Nanxi's serious teachings, she couldn't help but become nervous.
She actually... was afraid that she was too embarrassed in front of this bastard... What kind of mentality is this!
Seeing that she was holding the club in her hands, Gu Nanxi raised her deep eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile: "Do you want to stand in a statue and wait for me to carry it back?" Shen Wei's eyes were wide.
She pursed her lips, ignored his joke, took a deep breath, and then decided to try a ball.
The moment she waved the club, she stared at the small white ball on the ground, carefully looked at the distance and the wind direction, and gently waved forward.
The little white ball threw a graceful arc on the green grass until it landed on the edge of the hole. Seeing that the ball was about to enter the hole, it rolled a few times beside it, as if it was about to be blown away by the wind. Just as she stared at the other side, the wind that was not very big was gradually silenced, and the little white ball rolled into the hole obediently.
She smiled and turned her face, her eyes because of the joy of learning to play golf for the first time.
But he suddenly met Gu Nanxi's smile with a very pleased face. His eyes were so clear that he quietly projected towards her.
In just one second, she quickly looked away, moved her body slightly in his arms, and said lightly: "Can you let me go now?"
However, not only did his hand not let go, he gently wrapped his body behind her, holding her hand with one hand, and holding the other hand on her lower abdomen that was slightly bulging because of the clothes, and his fingers gently rubbed her lower abdomen.
"You know what I was thinking at that moment just now?" he asked softly in her ear.
She didn't say anything, wanted to resist and escape, but because there were too many people on the court, she could not do anything, so she could only grab the club and turn the beginning.
"I was thinking, if you scored this goal, I won't let you go." He paused: "If you don't score this goal..."
He gradually finished speaking and looked down at her.
Ji Xinyao couldn't believe her ears, and suddenly turned around and glared at him. A few strands of her hair fell between the coiled hair. When the wind blew, it passed by his Junche's cheek. His gaze was even gentle and made her almost speechless. She bit her lip and scolded: "So you can be so childish."
He smiled: "Did you forget? On the day we first met, I said that the mayor is also a human being."
Linlin finally almost scored a goal, but the ball turned around next to the hole and didn't go in. Linlin was so angry that she stomped her feet while screaming in dismay, which even disrupted Ji Xinyao's thoughts at the moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at his hand still gently stroked her lower abdomen.
It is false to say that there is no trace of movement. Women are emotional animals, but Ji Xinyao has a memory and does not want to live in such a gentle illusion and cage. She wants stability and stability. No matter how powerful Gu Nanxi is or how rich she is, she cannot give her what she wants. That wedding shattered everything she had, dignity, calmness, reason, and demeanor, and also shattered the eternal scenery he once painted in her life.
At that time, Gu Nanxi was like a prince in a dream. His smile, his tenderness, his love and care made her very attached. However, for the past month, she always reached out to grab her in her dreams, but she couldn't catch her. When it was late at night, she looked out the window with her eyes open and she often couldn't sleep all night.
At this time, Gu Nanxi was still like the most elegant gentleman, the perfect impeccable prince, giving her the same warmth as before, or even more than before.
If she returned to Ji Xinyao when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she might feel that she was really fond of being so charming. She would ignore a man like herself and break up with her life and death. But now, Ji Xinyao, who is twenty-five, no longer has the courage to try again and again.
At that time, the sun was setting and the evening cicadas were singing. A thorn buried deep in her heart was picked out in blood.
Seven months ago, by the blue swimming pool, the man casually wore a white bathrobe was so polite: "Ms. Ji, the mayor is also a human being~"
"Xin Yao, if I want to hurt you, I don't have to wait until the wedding day." He said softly, and finally let her go.
************************************************************************************************
"Give."
A bottle of mineral water was handed over in front of him. Ji Xinyao came to her senses and looked up. Seeing that it was Lu Han, she took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
"What are you thinking? I've been sitting here alone for so long," he asked as he sat down.
Ji Xinyao looked at the sky. After playing golf just an hour ago, they were left by the old man in the Banshan Guild Hall, saying that they were asked to have dinner here before leaving. At that time, several leaders did not bring their female companions. Ji Xinyao and Linlin were the only women received in the Banshan Guild Hall today, so the leaders were very happy to let them stay and have dinner together. Lu Han was the smart businessman who was very good at seizing the right opportunity to expand his connections. At this time, Ji Xinyao understood why he brought Linlin with him when he brought him, because Linlin was the kind of lively, active, and very beautiful and talkative girl.
It seems that today we will play golf or have supper together, which is all in the plan of Lu Han, a smart businessman.
He wanted to establish a good relationship with these rare leaders, and Linlin unknowingly became a public relations player in his hand.
Of course, because they were invited by Mayor Gu, no one else dared to do anything to them.
"Nothing." She lowered her head and took another sip of water.
"Just..." Lu Han wanted to speak again and looked at Ji Xinyao: "Mayor Gu taught me so carefully. What did he do to you, right?"
Ji Xinyao was stunned, but in a blink of an eye, she realized that Lu Han was deliberately looking at them at the angle on the court. From his perspective, she could see Gu Nanxi's slightly intimate behavior when she taught her to play.
So, did Lu Han think she was taken advantage of by Mayor Gu? So his expression now seems to be here to comfort her?
Before she could speak, Lu Han said, "I guess they have many social engagements in officialdom, and you are attractive enough. Everyone likes to get closer to beautiful women, so Mayor Gu will personally teach you how to play golf, don't think too much."
Ji Xinyao suddenly wanted to laugh.
Look, this is the officialdom. Even if some people are not stained with mud, they are still in the mud. It is obvious that in Lu Han's eyes, Ji Xinyao was just being taken advantage of and eaten tofu.
She held back her smile: "Brother Lu, I didn't think too much. It should be said that you thought too much. Just now... Mayor Gu was just teaching me to play basketball. Maybe the angle you look at from your side will look too close."
Seeing her natural expression, Lu Han nodded with confidence: "That's good."
After a while, the old man from the orchard of Banshan Guild brought some fruits over. Ji Xinyao already knew that the old man was the father of the boss behind the Banshan Guild. This old man was once a farmer. Later, even if his family was rich, he could not change his habit of planting things. The boss behind the Banshan Guild also agreed to his father to exercise and maintain his health in this way. He specially took some orchards and vegetable gardens here to take charge of the old man and invited many people to plant. When the old man invited them to stay for dinner, he said that he would take her to the orchard to see later.
"Miss Ji, I've been waiting for you. Just now, the kitchen was preparing ingredients. I went to ask someone to allocate the vegetables for tonight. I've been busy until now. Let's take them to the orchard to take a look."
Xin Yao was bored and naturally got up excitedly to go to the orchard with the old man. Linlin was not interested in these things and just followed Lu Han around other facilities in the Mid-mountain guild hall.
When I went to the orchard and farm of the Banshan Guild Hall, I had to take a simple car to go there. Ji Xinyao got off the car with the old man who claimed to be Uncle Jian, and under his introduction, he watched casually.
She once watched it on TV that American farms are big, but she didn't expect that it was bigger than American farms. Uncle Jian asked her if she needed to take a bus to stroll here. She wanted to walk around, so she walked in the green area. She could even see the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks opposite her. She even believed that the food here was probably cultivated with one hand, and there was really no pollution.
It was already 6 pm, and the sun was setting in the west, and there was only a trace of setting sun like fire in the sky, until the sun finally set.
"Living here every day will definitely be very comfortable and happy." Ji Xinyaoyuan looked at the green in front of her and yearned for it.
In fact, many times, no matter how many beautiful scenery there are in the city, it is not as good as the natural lake and mountains or a green vegetable garden.
"It's very happy. Our whole family, including my son, is so busy, and he will definitely take two days every month to help me do some farm work. This will be good for health and people will be much more energetic." Uncle Jian picked another pear from the tree next to her.
Ji Xinyao took it, thanked him with a smile, and wiped it with her hands for a few times before eating it.
"Little girl, don't you wash and eat before you eat? There is water there."
"No, I'm not clean and I'm not sick. Since I'm rare to come to such a place, I shouldn't be too flirtatious~" She smiled and walked forward while eating pears, but suddenly she saw a cucumber rack, pea rack and corn field in front, all of which were standing tall plants. If I walked in, I'm afraid I won't see any figures in a blink of an eye.
Uncle Jian smiled and said, "I once knew a little girl. You looked very similar to her. When I saw you this afternoon, I thought you were her. But after looking carefully, I realized that my age was wrong."
Ji Xinyao was just listening casually, but when she heard him say that the person looked very similar to him, she couldn't help but hesitate to look back at the old man walking next to her.
"Calling the age of that girl, she should be in her forties now. You look like you are in her twenties. If you are her daughter, I can still believe it." He smiled again: "But to be honest, the child she was pregnant with back then should be twenty-five years old now, and I don't know how that girl lives..."
He walked in front, sighing as he walked: "Hey, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years."
Ji Xinyao looked at the old man and remembered her mother. She was indeed somewhat similar to her mother, but it was not very obvious. Unless she was familiar with her mother and had known her mother for a long time, she would find out their similarity. Sometimes the eyebrows, eyes and expressions between mother and daughter really seemed to be the same shadow.13acv.
She couldn't help but follow: "Uncle Jian, can I ask more about the girl you're talking about?"
Uncle Jian looked back at her: "What? Do you want to hear it?"
Ji Xinyao grinned: "Women, most of them like to listen to stories, and they like to listen to the past the most, not to mention that she looks very similar to me."
He nodded, but seemed to remember something, and shook his head again: "That girl was once as cheerful and casual as you. I used to have an orchard in City Y. She also went to my place to help farm for several months. She is a diligent child."
As she said that, the old man smiled again: "I was less than forty years old at that time. I was in my prime. I divorced my ex-wife for a long time and only had my son around me. At that time, I spent several months with her in the orchard. I liked her sometimes gentle and sometimes lively personality. But later she became pregnant inexplicably and refused to say who the father of the child was. She was stubborn and left the orchard alone. Not long after, I was too busy for a while and didn't take time to find her for several months. Later, there was no news about her..."
"Then do you know something else about her? What I'm talking about is her past..."
Uncle Jian looked at her and seemed to see something: "Miss Ji, what are you doing?"
Before he knew it, the sky was clear and it was dark, and it started to rain. The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Uncle Jian came to his senses and turned around and called a car to pick her up first. Before the car drove over, he asked her to stand in the pergola next to the orchard to hide from the rain.
In the night, a tall figure slowly walked, and the helpers around the orchard began to tidy up and hide from the rain because it was too heavy. Everyone seemed to be in a bit embarrassed and walked in a hurry. The figure did not walk slowly, but it gave people a feeling of calm and calm walking.
