As a junior, I don't have much to do, and today I only have one class scheduled for the afternoon.

So it was already noon when she got up.

After washing up, she put on makeup, wore an outfit with a shooting star design, and felt great.

Liu Nian realized that she hadn't contacted Liu Xing for a while, and thinking about what Liu Yansheng had mentioned last time about the marriage arranged for her, Liu Nian decided to call Liu Xing when she got home from school that evening.

Gu Minhang didn't contact her for another day, and Liu Nian didn't go to him either. When it comes to catching a target, if she wants to fish, the first thing she needs to do is be patient. As the saying goes, "cast a long line to catch a big fish."

When Liu Nian got home from school that evening, she called Liu Xing directly. However, Liu Xing was abroad at the time, and it was still the early hours of the morning there, and Liu Xing was resting.

My voice was still a little slurred when I answered the phone.

"Hey! Xiao Nian, what's wrong?"

Listening to her voice, Liu Nian found it strange that Liu Xing sounded like she had just woken up at this hour.

"Sis, are you still sleeping?"

Meteor: "Yes, I'm abroad right now, there's a time difference with China. What happened that you're calling all of a sudden?" Her concern warmed Meteor's heart.

Liu Nian felt a little guilty, knowing that she had disturbed Liu Xing's rest, and immediately apologized.

"Sorry, sis, I didn't know you went abroad. I'm fine here, so you can rest first. I just got out of school not long ago!"

Knowing that nothing had happened to Liu Nian, Liu Xing was relieved. After giving her a few more words of advice, the two hung up the phone.

Liuxing was abroad, and Liunian didn't want to talk to her on the phone; he could only wait until she returned to China.

Liu Nian thought that for Liu Yansheng, marriage was a big deal, so if she wanted him to give up the idea of ​​arranging a marriage for Liu Xing, she had to come up with a solution. And that solution was for her to arrange a marriage, and the marriage partner had to be of sufficient means.

She hasn't won over Gu Minhang yet, and this can't be rushed, but it can't be delayed either.

Liu Xing is already of a certain age. Even if she doesn't want to get married yet, given Liu Yansheng's strong work ethic, he definitely won't consider her feelings and will force her to marry someone she doesn't love.

Liu Nian lay on the bed deep in thought, while Gu Minhang was doing something else. Thinking about how the two of them had gotten along last night, he figured things should have calmed down by now.

The system checked and found that Gu Minhang was at home.

Liu Nian got up, picked up Liu Liu, and left the room. She wondered if she should go and hang around Gu Minhang for a bit, but she turned back after reaching the door.

Sitting on my own sofa, leisurely petting my cat.

System: "Host, what are you trying to do?"

Liu Nian: "It's nothing. I was just thinking that it would be better if we didn't act so aggressively and just held back."

She was unaware of some of Gu Minhang's current thoughts, nor was she certain of his intentions.

If she keeps trying to get closer, the effect probably won't be significant.

Thinking about how their relationship would become strained after a month of ignoring him, Liu Nian felt even more determined to provoke Gu Minhang.

However, Gu Minhang, who was in the study, had a furrowed brow, and his fingers were typing on the computer in fits and starts, occasionally pausing for a few minutes.

He stared intently at the computer screen, muttering to himself, "This Liu Yansheng certainly has quite the appetite."

Just then, his phone, which was lying to the side, rang; a call was coming in.

He glanced at it and answered the call.

The other party asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "General Manager, the land in the northern suburbs has been sold. What's the next step?"

Gu Minhang stared at the computer screen, his tone indifferent.

"The CEO of the Yue Liu family."

Having received instructions, the other party said nothing more.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Minhang closed his laptop, took his phone, and left the study.

Liu Nian was giving Liu Liu a bath when the doorbell rang, but she didn't hear it.

After drying Liu Liu's fur, I took her out of the room and noticed several missed calls on my phone.

She glanced at it and saw that it was Gu Minhang calling.

Just as she was about to call back, the phone rang again.

Now she doesn't even need to hit him.

After answering the phone, she asked.

"Is there something you need, Gu?"

"Open the door." His tone was somewhat somber.

Liu Nian walked suspiciously to the door and looked through the peephole, but didn't see anyone outside.

Are you at the door?

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Liu Nian reached out and opened the door, only to see Gu Minhang leaning against the wall looking utterly listless.

She asked in confusion, "Did you need something from me, Gu?"

After putting his phone in his pocket, Gu Minhang stared at her with his beautiful eyes.

His tone was somewhat curious: "What were you doing just now?"

Seeing him like this, Liu Nian's eyes flickered, and a flash of inspiration struck her.

She stood blocking the doorway, her meaning clear: "I didn't do anything."

Seeing her like this, Gu Minhang assumed that she had someone in her family, someone who was not convenient for him to see. He moved and stood in front of Liu Nian.

Using his height advantage, he scanned the area but didn't see anyone.

He looked down at Liu Nian, and when he met her cold gaze, his eyes darkened.

Because Liu Nian had just given Liu Liu a bath, the kitten was a little scared of water and struggled for a long time, making Liu Nian's clothes a bit wet and messy.

Gu Minhang couldn't even maintain his gentle expression anymore and wanted to walk straight past Liu Nian.

He needs to go to the bathroom to check, otherwise he'll feel really uncomfortable.

Liu Nian stretched out his arms to block him and stop him.

"Gu, it's not convenient for me to entertain you here..."

Gu Minhang ignored her, grabbed her armpits with both hands, lifted her up, and kicked the door shut with one leg.
