After divorcing the mute girl, President Gu knelt down and begged for reconciliation.

Chapter 167 Pretty Girl
Gu Xijue glanced at him: "Yes, she's a very pretty young girl."

This is, of course, beyond doubt.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "I haven't seen it yet. Why don't you have your wife bring it over to see?"

Previously, during the period when Su Ruoya and Song Jin'an were "fighting", Xiao Yi had no shortage of teasing Song Jin'an and kept saying bad things about her.

When Duan Nanhe heard that Xiao Yi had this idea, he quickly spoke up: "Don't try to make fun of the little mute girl again for Su Ruoya's sake. She did nothing wrong."

Duan Nanhe has always taken good care of Song Jin'an, and he has been influenced by her energy.

"I didn't mean that." This time, Xiao Yi genuinely didn't intend to put Song Jin'an down because of Su Ruoya.

Gu Xijue said, "She's busy."

Then he added, "There's nothing much to see."

Actually, deep down, he still minded that Song Jin'an was mute.

Xiao Yi understood, Duan Nanhe understood, and in fact, he understood even more deeply in his heart.

"Aren't you already looking for schools for her to attend, to get her an adult education degree first, and then send her abroad to study for a few years?"

Duan Nanhe knew about his plan and understood that it was to enhance Song Jin'an's own image so that she could be worthy of the Gu family, and at the very least, she couldn't be illiterate.

"He's planned and considered everything for her, yet he still won't admit that he has feelings for her."

He despises men who dare not face their own hearts. He believes you should be like him, openly admitting your feelings if you like someone!
Gu Xijue frowned slightly, and Xiao Yi chuckled softly, "Your words are too blunt."

"Xi Jue has always been a proud and arrogant person. Pressuring him like this will only backfire."

Some walls you have to hit yourself; the old saying "you won't turn back until you hit a wall" has some truth to it.

It's as if he's always been silently watching over Su Ruoya, being her backup option. When she went abroad, he went with her, but in the end, he still couldn't become her new boyfriend.

From beginning to end, I was always treated as a good friend.

Duan Nanhe thought for a moment, rubbed his chin, and said in agreement, "What you said makes sense."

"He was smart from a young age, but he was really clueless about love."

Gu Xijue: "..."

He disagrees with that.

Under their gazes, he took out his phone, sent a message to Wei Zhou, and then made a phone call.

"Bring the lady and young lady over."

Duan Nanhe raised an eyebrow. Why did they send someone over again? How interesting.

"You've been married for so many years, and you've never really brought your wife and kids out to hang out with us friends."

He had seen them a few times, but it was all by chance, a coincidence.

Gu Xijue was drinking when he heard this and paused slightly: "So, they've arrived?"

He gazed calmly at the sea without speaking, but Xiao Yi twitched his lips and said, "I thought you would never appear in public with her again in this lifetime."

Duan Nanhe was talking about accompanying friends, while Xiao Yi was referring to public places.

I vaguely remember that Song Jin'an only attended one cocktail party with Gu Xijue, and something big happened that time.

"You're wronging our Young Master Gu." Duan Nanhe smiled and frankly told him everything he knew: "A few days ago, our Young Master Gu also wanted to bring his wife to the party, but he was rejected."

Gu Xijue twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't immediately respond. Instead, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "This is a private matter between a married couple. How did you know?"

Duan Nanhe hooked a fish, and when he pulled it up, it weighed three or four pounds. He could have the chef make grilled fish in a little while.

"I'm not blind, I can see."

He shrugged and spread his hands.

And he wasn't deaf; he could hear. Xiao Yi, with a mischievous grin, said, "So, you're quite concerned about Song Jin'an."

Duan Nanhe was too carefree to notice the hidden meaning, and instead told Xiao Yi all the gossip he knew.

"You didn't see how anxious he was when the little mute had his car accident the other day. He almost blocked the land, sea and air."

"I was relieved when I arrived at the scene and saw that the little mute boy was not injured."

Gu Xijue said coldly, "You talk so much, can't even food and drink shut you up?"

Duan Nan immediately shut his mouth, made a zipping motion, and stopped talking, focusing intently on fishing.

Within an hour, quite a few fish were caught.

After setting sail and returning to shore, Wei Zhou arrived with Song Jin'an and her daughter five minutes later.

Gu Hetang ran on the ground, dressed in a sunny beach outfit and wearing a pair of cute pineapple sunglasses. He looked incredibly adorable as he moved around.

When Gu Hetang saw Gu Xijue, he pointed at him with a grin.

Her soft voice was filled with joy: "Daddy, Daddy!"

Her sweet little voice was irresistible, and then she rushed into Gu Xijue's arms.

Gu Xijue bent down and picked up Gu Hetang, smiling as he touched his forehead to hers. Then he had Gu Hetang greet everyone in turn.

"Uncle Duan."

"Uncle Gu."

Duan Nanhe had always liked Song Jinan's daughter, so he asked Gu Xijue for the child and held her for a while.

When Song Jin'an walked up to him, his gaze fell on her, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Yi's gaze also fell on Song Jin'an. In the past, his gaze was full of inquiry and disgust, but now it was only calm.

It's no longer an unfriendly gaze.

The servants at the manor are already preparing the fish; they're going to grill it tonight.

"It's hot outside, take the kids inside to rest."

Song Jin'an nodded, took the child from Duan Nanhe's arms, and went inside first.

As she walked, she wondered what Gu Xijue was up to. Why did he send Wei Zhou to pick her up for his friend's party...?

I really can’t figure it out.

It's almost impossible for him to go out with her, except when they go back to the old house. I don't know what got into him today, but he actually brought himself along.

Back in the back garden, tonight's main battleground for the barbecue, the chefs are already preparing the ingredients.

Gu Hetang had reached the stage where she enjoyed watching the fish swimming in the water. Gu Xijue held her and stood in front of the water tank, letting her watch the fish.

She was very happy and even reached out to touch the water, but Gu Xijue grabbed her little hand.

"Some fish have teeth, and you can get bitten, which will hurt."

Most sea fish have teeth, and I was afraid she would be bitten if she put her finger in.

But the more he said that, the bolder Gu Hetang became, his eyes sparkling as he longed to touch it.

Song Jin'an stood to the side watching the interaction between the father and daughter, her lips pursed.

Finally, at Gu Hetang's insistence, Gu Xijue had the chef bring out a fish, gently touched its back while protecting her hand, and only then did his wish come true.

We're currently one player short, and we still can't have roasted whole lamb or roasted fish.

"I should have called another person over; we could have played mahjong."
