After this dinner, Li Muhan completely understood how Gu Chengyan developed the habit of not speaking before eating. Except for the conversation just now, no one spoke up.
However, the overall atmosphere is still very good, and I finished the meal in this atmosphere.
After the meal, Mrs. Lin brought digestion tea and fruits, and they sat together and chatted again.
But this time, Mr. Gu mainly talked with Gu Chengyan about business matters, especially the new project that Gu Chengyan went abroad to negotiate this time.
Li Muhan had never been exposed to business management, so he couldn't get in the conversation at all, and he didn't understand what he was listening to, so he sat aside and listened quietly, occasionally taking a sip of digestion tea.
Gradually, his eyes drifted to the surrounding furnishings.
The overall decoration style of this house is very simple and elegant, and the decoration of items is as close as possible to suit this style.
There are not many ornaments, but each one is just right and blends well with the whole.
At the same time, it can also be seen that every furnishing here is a rare treasure.
Just when she was looking at a calligraphy and painting intently, Mrs. Gu spoke to her.
"Mu Han!"
"Yes, grandma."
Li Muhan immediately turned his head back and looked at Mrs. Gu.
"Is it possible that the topics they are talking about are too dull and boring?"
Mrs. Gu looked at Li Muhan lovingly. Now she began to like this girl from the bottom of her heart. From a person's words and deeds, she could tell what kind of character she was.
After living for such a long time, she, an old woman, can still tell what kind of virtue this person has.
This child is a good child, but I always feel that there is something deep and stable about him that is not suitable for his age.
She is a bit calmer, but she lacks the liveliness and vigor that she should have at this age.
Is it because we just met? Can't let go?
Mrs. Gu thought for a moment and felt that it was possible.
"No grandma!"
Li Muhan thought that even if she had that idea, she couldn't say so.
"As time goes by, you will get used to it. As long as they get together, they will talk about work. It's endless. It's true."
After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, she immediately turned around and interrupted the conversation between the two men over there.
"Okay, when can't you talk about work matters? You have to talk endlessly at this time."
Then he said to Gu Chengyan like a command,
"Yan'er, just take Mu Han for a walk around the yard to eat. Your grandpa and I are just talking to this brat about his schooling."
The brat naturally refers to Lin Huainan.
Lin Huainan, who was eating fruit leisurely over there, heard this and his relaxed body immediately sat upright.
Gu Chengyan received the instructions from the old lady in his family and did not dare to disobey. He looked at Li Muhan and said,
"Then come with me for a walk. There is something you like outside."
After gathering his clothes, he stood up and walked to Li Muhan.
What does she like?
architecture?
It seems like he just found out about this hobby of mine!
Li Muhan suddenly became energetic, glanced at Gu Chengyan, stood up, and said to Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu who were sitting:
"Grandpa, grandma, and mother, I'll excuse you now."
"Go!"
They all nodded in agreement.
Gu Chengyan walked out first, and before leaving, he gave Lin Huainan a wishing look.
Li Muhan wanted to laugh when he saw this scene from behind, these two brothers~
Without thinking any more, he walked to the yard under the leadership of Gu Chengyan.
After arriving outside, the field of view instantly broadened. It was just as the sun was setting, and everything in the courtyard was covered with a golden veil. At a glance, the scenery was really beautiful.
Li Muhan was successfully surprised!
Taking a closer look, as far as the eye can see, the courtyard has pavilions, pavilions, flowerbeds, lotus ponds, fountains and rockeries. Everything that should be found in the courtyard is here. It can be said that each scene is very pleasing to the eye.
Li Muhan's eyes suddenly didn't know where to look first!
Seeing this, the whole person became more energetic, and his eyes were filled with the message "It's great, I like it so much".
At this time, the cell phone of Gu Chengyan who was walking in front rang. Gu Chengyan took out his cell phone and took a look. He saw that it was the vice president of the company calling. It should be something very important.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have called specifically at this time.
Then he turned around and said to Li Muhan,
"I'll take a call and you can just hang around for a while."
"Okay, you get busy first!"
What Li Muhan likes most now is this casual sentence, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
Then he took a few steps away and looked directly at the scenery in the courtyard.
Gu Chengyan took the mobile phone and walked to the other side before picking up the phone. Listening to the vice president's report, there were some differences in a project he had just contacted recently and he needed to make a decision.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the other party wants to get more benefits, but the benefits here are not that easy to get.
"Follow the predetermined execution. If the other party refuses, you can tell them that we don't mind changing to another company!"
The last thing he likes is going back on one's word.
The vice president over there said he understood. In fact, he already knew Mr. Gu's answer, but he still needed to ask for instructions and let him know.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Gu Chengyan hung up the phone directly.
When he turned around and came back, he found that Li Muhan had already walked to the pavilion in front and was studying something intently.
He put down his phone and walked over. Seeing that she was still looking at her, as if she didn't notice him coming, he couldn't help but curiously asked,
"looking at what?"
"Looking at the patterns on it, they are very beautiful and the carvings are very elegant."
Li Muhan turned to look at the lotus pond below. The lotus flowers inside were blooming just right.
“Everywhere here is beautiful and refreshing!”
Li Muhan said to Gu Chengyan with a smile on his face, very satisfied.
She was really happy at this time, and her mood became much calmer and more relaxed because of these scenery.
This is the first time since I came here that I feel so happy and relaxed.
Gu Chengyan looked at the smiling face in front of him, and he could clearly feel her happiness. This was the first time he saw her smiling like this.
And this happiness seemed to have infected him, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"It seems that you really like this kind of thing!"
"Naturally, if you like it, you can't fake it!"
After Li Muhan finished speaking, he walked out of the pavilion and walked forward for a while, with Gu Chengyan following behind.
Not long after walking, Li Muhan saw a glass flower house at the corner in front. It was beautifully designed and could be vaguely filled with flowers.
That greenhouse couldn't be what Aunt Lin said, the one that Gu Chengyan's father gave to his mother!
When Gu Chengyan saw Li Muhan in front of him stopped and looked at the greenhouse in front of him, he explained naturally,
“That flower house was a gift from my father to my mother for our tenth wedding anniversary.
After my father's accident, my mother was sad and depressed for a long time. She often stayed in that flower house all day long. "
When Gu Chengyan spoke, his eyes were always looking at the greenhouse, and the look on his face seemed to have seen everything that happened during that time.
That period was the darkest time in his life so far and the one he least wanted to remember.
Li Muhan didn't expect that Gu Chengyan would take the initiative to tell him this, and looked at him in surprise.
Seeing him looking at the flower house seriously, the expression on his face was a little sad.
Li Muhan didn't know what to say at this time, feeling that everything he said was a little pale, so he finally chose not to say anything, didn't speak, and just stood quietly beside him.
Gu Chengyan withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Muhan aside. He found that she was a little overwhelmed, so he guessed that Mrs. Lin must have told her these things before, so he continued,
"My father and mother have a very good relationship. I have never seen them quarreling or blushing. They have always been a loving couple that others envy.
So after my father had an accident that year, my mother was very shocked, and she still hasn't completely gotten over it yet.
Because the flower house was designed and built by my father himself, there were many memories of them in it, so my mother didn’t like others going there privately.
That includes us, so generally we won’t go there unless our mother asks herself. "
Li Muhan heard the implication of Gu Chengyan's words and immediately nodded to express that he understood.
"Don't worry, I took note of it!"
In fact, even if Gu Chengyan didn't say it specifically, she knew what to do.
But this reminder he gave was a special reminder to himself. Although he might care more about his mother's feelings, it was still pretty good!
The two walked in the yard for a while, and when they saw something special, they told Li Muhan about the scene or the origin of its construction.
Li Muhan listened very attentively. Gu Chengyan was very eloquent and his speech was neither urgent nor slow. Although it was just a small matter, he told it like a small story, which was very attractive.
Gu Chengyan guessed that the conversation was almost over, and to avoid Li Muhan's legs feeling uncomfortable if he walked for too long, he decided to go back.
"Let's go back!"
"OK!"
Li Muhan also considered the problem of his leg injury and had almost seen the scenery in the courtyard, so he followed Gu Chengyan back.
