The moment the door was opened, a little guy ran out of the room.
Then–
“Gu Shumo! You are not allowed to hold my mother! Let go!”
Xia An looked at the little guy who was holding her thigh tightly. It seemed like he was crying.
She really didn’t expect Gu Shumo to wait for her in the hotel.
She thought that they would move him here once she settled. She expected to receive Gu Shumo from the old man Gu not until a day later.
“Let her go! This is my mother! Only I can hold her!”
“I won’t let go! I won’t let go! Grandpa said, I will live with my fairy sister in the future, and she will take care of me!”
Xia An shook her head helplessly. She had to deal with these two little guys’ naive behavior every day from this day on.
She stretched out her palms, and held them both, one in each hand.
“Well, you guys. In the future, we will all live together and we will all get along well, alright?”
The two children who were quarreling with each other became quiet.
“Yes, Mom.”
“Yes, Fairy Sister.”
The two little guys replied with aggrieved expressions.
Xia An murmured silently in her heart, ‘It appears that the male lead and the villain are really born to fight with each other.’
Regardless of the existence of the female lead, these two little ones would still never get along.
After Xia An unpacked all her luggage, she saw Gu Shuma pulling the corner of her clothes.
“Fairy sister, my grandfather said he would let me pick you up for dinner.”
It turned out that Gu Shumo just wanted to see Xia An sooner. Therefore, he arrived at the hotel first. He told her about the place where Grandpa Gu invited her to eat. It was a well-known Michelin restaurant, and Xia An agreed instantly. She even dropped her plans of taking a break.
She hurried to the dinner with the two little ones.
“Oh, that Asian girl looks so good, like an elf.”
“Is she an Asian celebrity?”
“What a beautiful Asian girl.”
…
Because she was abroad, Xia An didn’t have to disguise herself before going out, as she did at home.
Since she was in a good mood, she didn’t even wear a mask. As a result, along the way, she attracted a lot of attention.
Even when sitting in the dining room, many eyes were on her.
Xia An took the two kids and sat opposite of Mr. Gu.
The waiter presented a beautiful and exquisite dessert in front of her.
“Miss, this is a dessert sent for you from the next table.”
Xia An was a little dumbfounded looking at the dessert in front of her.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Before she went out, she had always been in disguise. Now, for the first time in this world, Xia An felt that she was beautiful … she could really use her face as a card to eat!
“Oh, Miss Xia is really charming.”
Mr. Gu Lao looked at Xia An with a smile.
Xia An calmly prepared to enjoy the dessert that looked very delicious.
But, unfortunately, before she had time to pick up the spoon to eat, the two kids stopped her, “Waiter, take this away! My mom does not eat food from strangers!”
“That’s it! I’ll pay for what the fairy sister wants to eat! Take it away!”
When Xia An saw their reaction, she was completely stunned. It was not because of their actions, but because … the two spoke English fluently!
This made her, a person who had majored in English in university feel a bit ashamed! She picked up English again because she was going to act in a Hollywood movie.
But now! She couldn’t speak English as smoothly as the two little guys!
“Fairy Sister, what do you want to eat? Xiao Mo can buy it for you! Grandpa said I’m rich!”
Gu Shumo stared at Xia An with bright eyes, like a puppy trying hard to please his owner.
As soon as Gu Shumo said this, the little guy sitting on the left side of Xia An got anxious.
“I … I have money too! I can buy a lot of food for my mother!”
The two cuties were fighting for favor. Xia An and Mr. Gu looked at each other, and laughed out loud.
“It looks like my grandson is fascinated by Miss Xia. I think if he inherits the property in the future, he would change our company’s name to Xia,” Mr. Gu teased her.
Xia An waved her hands, “Mr. Gu, don’t make fun of me.”
“Haha! However, after seeing my grandson liking you so much, I am more assured to give him to you.”
After saying this, the smile on Mr. Gu’s face faded a lot.
“Mr. Gu Lao …?”
“Forget it, let’s eat first. After dinner, let’s talk about it somewhere else.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Gu Lao gestured and many waiters in suits soon began to serve them a series of exquisite meals.
Xia An tasted them one by one. The western food was delicious but the portion was too small!
However, a smaller amount was beneficial. As this prevented her from eating too much.
After enjoying a delicious exotic food, she felt a little pity that it was so less. Once she was content, she followed Grandpa Gu. They left the restaurant and went to a private place for tea.
“Xiao Mo, you go out with Xiao Xing. I have something to talk about with your sister Xia,” Mr. Gu sent the two out. He and Xia An sat in the luxurious private VIP room.
Although the two little ones were a little unhappy, they were obedient.
When the two little guys went out, Grandpa Gu lost his relaxed look. His old face was full of seriousness.
“Miss Xia, I know you may feel that the request I made this time is a bit inappropriate, but I can’t help it anymore.”
“Isn’t it just to help you take care of your grandson for the time being? It’s nothing. It’s okay. You’re paying for everything, I can do this for you. This is a clear trade, you don’t need to think too much,” Xia An said with all seriousness.
Mr. Gu heard Xia An’s blunt words. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to call this beautiful woman too naive or … too cold-blooded.
However, this answer amused Mr. Gu and he felt relieved.
“Okay! I am more at ease placing my grandson with you. You can rest assured, as long as you take good care of my grandson, I will give you a very generous reward. Or, what are your requirements? You can mention it to me, as long as I can do it, I will try to do it. “
Mr. Gu was a businessman. He had always disliked using emotions while doing things.
What he liked was a clear relationship of interest.
With such an interest-driven reason, it became more secure. He would not be afraid of betrayal.
“Didn’t you already pay for it?” Xia An raised her brow and said with a smile.
“No, that one was for Han Yue. I haven’t paid your remuneration, and I don’t know how long you have to take care of my grandson. … I need to give you some benefits first.”
Mr. Gu sipped his cup of tea. At this moment, he looked different from the kind grandfather. He was more like a calculative businessman.
“I can not tell you much about my family affairs. However, my grandson likes you so much, please take care of him in future.”
The last kidnapping and abduction really scared Grandpa Gu.
Even a tiger didn’t eat its cubs, but he didn’t expect his son to not even care for his grandson. He didn’t have even a little affection for the child.
As long as his son was not dead, his grandson’s safety was his bottom line.
He thought of the horrible wolves at home, and the restlessness in the company. Grandpa Gu had no idea that he would have to fight at this age with his only grandson.
“Okay, I will take care of your grandson. But … since you said you were going to pay, I won’t be kind to you.”
Xia An didn’t pretend, she was never a little white rabbit or a white lotus.
She had always been cheap, so take advantage!
Anyway, what Mr. Gu said was so straightforward, she wouldn’t pretend to be pretending.
“You don’t need to be polite with me.”
“I want to start a company.”
Xia An did not hesitate to tell this matter. She was short of funds and this man was willing to help.
“Start a company? In the United States?”
Grandpa Gu really didn’t expect that Xia An would make such a request.
He had thought that this woman would ask for money.
