Chapter 125 You Are Terribly Optimistic

Chapter 125 You Are Terribly Optimistic

Cen Wan didn't expect to meet Gu Zhiyuan so soon.

During lunch, Jiang Yuan sent her a message asking her to go shopping. She was bored after sleeping at home all night and wanted to ask him to go out shopping with her.

She agreed without thinking, even though Shen Yixiao was a little unhappy.

Shen Yixiao sent her to the entrance of the shopping mall, watched her reunite with Jiang Yuan before going to the company, and planned to pick her up after she finished her work in the evening.

The two of them walked around the mall floor by floor. Jiang Yuan tried on clothes from many stores and in more than an hour he had collected bags of loot.

"On set, I'm always unkempt and don't wear makeup. I just put on black-framed glasses and go to the set. I've almost forgotten what it's like to be an urban beauty."

Cen Wan laughed: "So this is revenge spending?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes, if you don't spend the money you earn, you won't be able to enjoy the fun of making money."

"Hey, that store in front is pretty good. I think the style suits you. Let's go take a look."

"No need, I won't buy it. I just want to accompany you." Cen Wan said.

"No." Jiang Yuan pulled her inside, but just as they reached the door of the store, they were stopped by someone.

"Ms. Cen?"

A slightly surprised female voice came from behind them. The two turned around and saw Gu Zhiyuan, who was carrying several bags and had obviously just finished a big shopping spree.

"Ms. Gu."

Gu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you guys are here shopping too!"

Cen Wan looked at her: "Yes, you just bought it too..."

Gu Zhiyuan glanced down at the bag hanging on her wrist: "Yeah, I just got rejected, so I came out to vent."

After hearing this, Cen Wan didn't know how to comfort her.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, asked directly, "Was he rejected by Master Shen?"

"Yeah!" Gu Zhiyuan nodded heavily, "But it's not a rejection. I went to visit the Shen family, and he made an excuse not to have lunch at home to avoid me."

Jiang Yuan's gossipy heart was aroused: "How about you tell me more?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "Okay, why don't we find a place to sit down."

They hit it off immediately.

The three of them went to a coffee shop in the mall. Cen Wan was still a little confused until they sat down at the table.

She looked at the two people chatting excitedly and shook her head. Is this the community cow?

Gu Zhiyuan recounted her story of how she had gone on a blind date with Shen Xubai and how he had ruthlessly rejected her, word for word. Jiang Yuan listened with great interest.

Jiang Yuan immediately noticed the key point after hearing it: "So you liked him before?"

Gu Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "How do you know?"

Jiang Yuan: "Because you were planning to develop a good relationship with him before the blind date, you must have met him before or had some interactions with him. And even though he ignored you, you still pursued him relentlessly. Didn't you like him a long time ago?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "Sister, you are awesome!"

She looked at Jiang Yuan with admiration: "Can I call you Sister Yuan?"

Jiang Yuan flicked her hair and said, "As long as you're not a green tea, you can call me whatever you want."

"good."

Gu Zhiyuan looked at Cen Wan, a conflicted look on her face: "According to age, I should call you Sister Wanwan, but if I really become married to Chen Xubai in the future, I will be your sister-in-law, and the generations will be messed up."

Jiang Yuan: "Then we'll talk about it after it's done."

"No!" Gu Zhiyuan refused flatly, "It's unlucky."

She looked at Cen Wan with a smile and reached out to tug at her sleeve: "Can I just call you Wanwan?"

Cen Wan actually had a very good feeling towards Gu Zhiyuan. She had a magical power that could brighten people's moods. She curled her lips and said, "As long as you think it's auspicious."

Gu Zhiyuan: "Wow, Wanwan, you're so nice!"

"Just call me Zhizhi. My original WeChat name was Zhizhi. My dad said I was noisy since I was born, like a mouse, so he nicknamed me Zhizhi. But my mom said it sounded unpleasant, so she changed it back when I started elementary school."

Cen Wan thought of the "zhizhi" sound on her WeChat, which indeed sounded like chirping.

Jiang Yuan was eager to eat melon: "You haven't finished yet."

"Right away, right away."

A piece of gossip instantly brought the three girls closer together.

Jiang Yuan: "So you fell in love with Master Shen at first sight?"

"Yes, you don't know that side. I was stunned by her beauty at first sight, and it left a seed of love in my heart." Gu Zhiyuan said exaggeratedly.

Jiang Yuan's comment: "So-called love at first sight is simply based on lust."

Gu Zhiyuan didn't deny it and admitted it openly: "Yes, I just like his face and his temperament. The more he ignores me, the more I want to pester him."

Cen Wan asked tentatively, "You don't have a masochistic tendency, do you?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "No, you don't know, the more serious and calm Shen Xubai is, the more I want to tease him, and the more curious I am about what it would be like for him to like someone."

Jiang Yuan took a sip of his coffee and succinctly summarized it: "Seeing a high-ranking beauty fall from the altar, and a superior bowing his head for love, this contrast is really touching."

“You summed it up perfectly.”

Jiang Yuan, with an air of concealing his achievements and fame, said: "I often use it when writing novels."

Cen Wan curled her lips and asked her, "Aren't you afraid of being rejected by him?"

Gu Zhiyuan tilted his head: "Just refuse if you want to. This way it will be challenging. It's not like I'll lose any weight."

Cen Wan looked at her with admiration and said sincerely, "Zhizhi, you are really brave."

Gu Zhiyuan covered her face and said, "I'm really shy to be praised like this by a beautiful sister!"

She looked at Cen Wan's face and suddenly felt a little worried: "If the two brothers have similar aesthetic tastes, then I hope it won't be even bigger, right?"

Cen Wan was stunned. Just as she was about to say something to comfort her, she continued, "But it doesn't matter. My hopes weren't that big to begin with."

Cen Wan: "..."

Jiang Yuan: “…”

"You're terribly optimistic."

Gu Zhiyuan: "That's true, but I'm still not as shameless as Shen Yixiao. Wanwan, will he be angry with you?"

"Temperament?" Cen Wan thought for a moment, "Not bad."

When they were together, he never seemed to get angry with her and always put her first in everything.

Except for being a little domineering in bed.

When she's jealous, she's a little difficult to deal with, just like a child having a tantrum, and needs to be coaxed, but she's also very cute.

Jiang Yuan and Gu Zhiyuan looked at the smile that unconsciously rose on the corners of her mouth, and they both hugged themselves at the same time.

"I shouldn't have asked. This is a critical blow to single people."

"Okay, you don't have to recall it. We know."

Gu Zhiyuan touched her stomach and said, "I didn't have much appetite at Shen's house at noon because of Shen Xubai. I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

"I invite you to celebrate the first day we officially become friends."

Jiang Yuan and Cen Wan looked at each other and laughed.

"good."

Cen Wan sent a message to Shen Yixiao, saying that she wanted to have dinner with them.

Shen Yixiao replied almost instantly: [Why is she here too?]

Cen Wan: [We met at the mall and chatted for a while]

Shen Yixiao: [Don't listen to her nonsense]

Cen Wan: [You're still holding a grudge. Zhizhi was just joking.]

Shen Yixiao in the office:???

Just now she was Miss Gu, but now she calls Zhizhi directly?

What happened during his absence that afternoon? Level 1 alert.

[Send me the address of your dinner, I will pick you up after dinner]
