Chapter 28 You are precious
Ning Mingluo didn't know why Gu Xiucheng dragged her to have dinner together again.
If you count carefully, he has had dinner with Gu Xiucheng almost every day since signing the contract.
Are he and Gu Xiucheng so familiar with each other now? They usually eat dinner together by default.
Just looking at the food on the table today, Ning Mingluo felt that Gu Xiucheng was a little too exaggerated.
This is too nourishing.
"I just had a little scrape, there's no need to supplement my nutrition like this."
There was even a medicinal dish on the table.
Ning Mingluo didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
"You only have minor injuries on your body. Aren't you scared?" Gu Xiucheng felt that this was far from enough. If it were not for the lack of time, he would have wanted to ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes.
Gu Xiucheng's words made Ning Mingluo stunned. This was the first time someone cared so much about his feelings.
Although what happened during the day did not cause serious consequences, it was eventually resolved by Tang Xiuwen.
But for Ning Mingluo, he was also afraid and helpless at that time.
Zhou Shiyi is a senior in the company, with higher fame and status than him. Faced with the suppression from such a person, he actually has no choice but to obey.
But now someone cares about what he thinks.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you really scared?" Gu Xiucheng frowned.
He felt a little annoyed. When he arranged a team for Ning Mingluo, he didn't think of adding a bodyguard for Ning Mingluo.
It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but he felt that Ning Mingluo was a kind person and would not make enemies with others. In addition, he was not very famous at the moment, so he was afraid that Ning Mingluo would not be able to adapt to having a bodyguard for him.
But now it seems that I was overthinking it at that time. Ning Mingluo is kind to others, but that doesn’t mean that others are also friendly to Ning Mingluo.
"Let's arrange a bodyguard for you."
Looking at Gu Xiucheng's serious expression, Ning Mingluo was a little unsure what Gu Xiucheng was thinking.
"I haven't achieved anything yet, so it's inappropriate to assign me a bodyguard."
"Then let him be your driver. Luo Chen and your assistant are both women, so it's not appropriate to always let them drive. It would be more convenient to arrange another car for you when filming."
Ning Mingluo opened his eyes wide as he listened to Gu Xiucheng's arrangements.
"Mr. Gu, why are you doing this? Don't use those excuses you used before to evade me. No one would be nice to others for no reason, not to mention that you have given me so much."
Ning Mingluo is not an ungrateful person. He should naturally be grateful to Gu Xiucheng for treating him like this.
But he felt that he didn't deserve such kindness, or to put it more bluntly, he was afraid.
Gu Xiucheng was so good to him. Apart from his grandmother, he was the only person who treated him well in his two lifetimes.
He wanted to find a reason and a basis for such goodness, otherwise he would not be able to accept it.
Because he didn't want to fall from a pavilion one day in the future and not even know why.
Seeing that Ning Mingluo had an attitude of "If you don't tell me why you won't eat", Gu Xiucheng felt a little troubled.
"Do I need a reason to be nice to you?"
"Then why would someone be nice to you for no reason?"
Gu Xiucheng discovered that Ning Mingluo was even more insecure than he had imagined.
"You are the reason why I do all this. As long as it's you, I'm willing to do anything."
Every time Ning Mingluo asked Gu Xiucheng, she got the same answer. She didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Just because of who he is?
"Ning Mingluo, you are much more valuable than you think."
Sometimes Gu Xiucheng also found it incredible. Why would he be so nice to someone for no reason?
But after meeting Ning Mingluo, he felt that Ning Mingluo should be treated well by him.
Ning Mingluo was a little afraid to look at Gu Xiucheng's eyes. No one had ever said that he was precious like this.
"Let's eat first, and talk about other things later."
Although the things Gu Xiucheng ordered were all very nutritious, Ning Mingluo still ate them all very seriously. He didn't want to waste Gu Xiucheng's kindness.
In the evening, it was Gu Xiucheng who sent Ning Mingluo home again.
"I'll take care of Zhou Shiyi's issues, don't worry, just focus on filming."
Ning Mingluo blinked and thought of what happened at the banquet that day.
"Actually, I think I was implicated by you today."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"I remember he confessed his love to you before, and he came to ask for this role this time. It must be because of you."
Ning Mingluo also suddenly realized it when Gu Xiucheng mentioned it just now.
Gu Xiucheng frowned, not feeling the slightest bit of joy at being liked.
"I turned him down."
"You refused, but I don't want to give up."
"I'll take care of it."
Surprised by Gu Xiucheng's cold attitude, Ning Mingluo pursed her lips slightly.
Gu Xiucheng at this time was a bit like the Gu Xiucheng that everyone was talking about.
"Go home and rest. These things won't affect you."
"Okay, you should rest early too. Good night."
After watching Ning Mingluo leave, Gu Xiucheng did not drive home, but drove away in another direction.
The music in the dimly lit box was deafening, but Tang Xiuwen felt very comfortable inside.
With his collar open, he drank the wine in the glass in a casual manner.
"You can't imagine that someone like Gu Xiucheng could actually be so kind to others. I was shocked when I heard the news."
"So you came back overnight just to eat melons?" the person on the sofa opposite asked with a smile.
"Of course. Who is Gu Xiucheng? He's a thousand-year-old ice cube. You can't miss out on his melons."
"Don't let yourself get into trouble in the end."
"How is that possible? He's an artist under my management now. Of course, I can do whatever I want with him."
"Who are you going to rub?"
The deep voice scared Tang Xiuwen so much that he almost jumped up from the sofa.
"Brother, when did you come? Why is there no sound?"
Gu Xiucheng snorted coldly and sat on the single sofa next to him.
"What were you talking about?"
"No, brother, we were just chatting casually."
Gu Xiucheng did not continue to ask Tang Xiuwen, but the people who had spoken just now were too quiet to speak.
Who wouldn’t be terrified when seeing this ancestor?
"Brother, let me pour you some wine."
"No, I'm driving."
"Ah? Brother, don't you usually drive?" Tang Xiuwen was a little confused.
"Open it occasionally."
Everyone looked at each other, this was really going on.
"Good, good." Tang Xiuwen still felt a little guilty, after all, he was just eating Mr. Gu's melon.
Gu Xiucheng didn't come here to drink today, but to talk to Tang Xiuwen.
"Why let Zhou Shiyi come back?"
Tang Xiuwen knew that he couldn't escape this disaster today.
He agreed to Zhou Shiyi's return without his permission, so his brother will definitely make trouble for him.
"Brother, you know my mom loves Zhou Shiyi and she definitely can't bear to let him stay abroad forever. Now that he's back, we can't kick him out."
"Once you've brought him back, keep an eye on him and don't let him have any bad thoughts, especially not towards someone he shouldn't be touching."
Tang Xiuwen silently upgraded Ning Mingluo's importance level in his heart.
He came to tell him specifically, this is not something his brother would do.
"Brother, don't worry. What happened today will never happen again. With me watching, he won't dare to do it again. And don't worry, I will also help you protect that person."
"You don't need to worry about it."
The two people here were playing charades, and the others were eager to listen.
I quickly asked what happened.
Tang Xiuwen looked at his brother.
I don’t know if his brother will let him say it.
Gu Xiucheng had no intention of hiding it. It would be easier for Ning Mingluo to have these people watching him.
After all, these are all famous second-generation people in the circle. If someone is not careful enough and runs into them, Ning Mingluo will suffer less torture.
Gu Xiucheng just doesn't hang out in this circle, but he is still very clear about many of the rules of this circle.
Tang Xiuwen recounted what happened today, and everyone started to wonder if this Gu Xiucheng was still the Mr. Gu they knew.
Is this good for a person?
Listening to their discussion, Gu Xiucheng didn't find it very interesting. All he could think about was Ning Mingluo telling him to go to bed early.
"I'm leaving now. You guys have fun and put it on my account."
As soon as Gu Xiucheng left the whole box was in an uproar.
Everyone gathered around Tang Xiuwen.
"Who on earth is this? He took down Mr. Gu."
They were really curious about the protagonist of this story.
"I have his photo. I'll show it to you. But according to him, he and Mr. Gu are just friends."
"Oh, friends, they just get along well, right?"
"But doesn't Mr. Gu dislike men? He rejected Zhou Shiyi decisively."
"But have you ever seen Mr. Gu like women?"
"That's true. Forget people. Mr. Gu doesn't even have a pet."
"Stop discussing this. Didn't you say you have to look at the person? I've found it out. Do you still want to look at it?"
Everyone then turned their attention to Ning Mingluo.
Everyone thought about this face in their hearts. We usually have fun together, but we must not be so blind as to offend this person one day, otherwise we will be in real trouble.
Ning Mingluo didn't expect that Gu Xiucheng would go to see Tang Xiuwen again just for him.
When he saw the driver waiting for him at the door in the new car in the morning, he felt that Gu Xiucheng's efficiency was simply too high.
"Hello, Brother Ning. I'm Gu Si, just call me Xiao Si. I'll be your driver and bodyguard from now on. I can do any heavy work. I've learned Sanda and fighting, so I'll definitely be able to protect you."
Looking at the man's muscles that seemed to be about to burst out even in his suit, Ning Mingluo felt that with someone by his side, no one would dare to bully him.
"Okay, I'll trouble you later."
Luo Chen was not surprised at this arrangement at all.
With all the commotion yesterday, it would be strange if Mr. Gu didn't make any arrangements.
"We have makeup photos to take today, so it's a heavy workload. If you feel tired, remember to tell me. Your health is important."
Luo Chen accompanied Ning Mingluo to take the final photos today, but he was worried that Ning Mingluo was scared by what happened yesterday and that he might not be able to hold on.
"Okay, Sister Chen."
