Ren Jin frowned, not even looking at his phone, and stared at her mockingly, "What's the point of you meeting him? Do you want to discuss what it feels like to have sex with a man?"
Gu Yueji paused, then glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Why are you glaring at me? Did I say anything wrong? You met with someone who lied to you, but I didn't tell you I was a contractor and you kicked me out of the house and said we'd be strangers from now on. Is this kind of favoritism appropriate?"
Gu Yueji chuckled. This guy actually managed to use this opportunity to his advantage. She rested her chin on her hand, looked at him, and asked, "Are you jealous?"
Ren Jin was stunned for a moment, then glared at her irritably before reluctantly lowering his head to continue eating his dumplings.
Seeing how angry he was, Gu Yueji felt better. She smiled as she watched him dip each dumpling in the vinegar dish, wondering why he was so jealous.
He smiled helplessly and opened his phone to reply to Sun Ziru's WeChat message.
She had no intention of meeting Sun Ziru in the first place. She made it clear in the WeChat message that there was no need to meet him, and also warned him not to marry other girls for the sake of his parents or societal norms, because everyone only has one life, and no one wants to be delayed or wasted.
Sun Ziru quickly replied with a long message, saying that he had decided to go abroad with his boyfriend. Perhaps he knew that they would never see each other again. At the end of the message, he said sorry, without saying goodbye.
Putting down her phone, Gu Yueji asked the person who was still eating dumplings with their head down, "There's only one month left until Chinese New Year. What are your plans for the time being?"
Gu Yueji thought he would just tell her "whatever" and then ignore everything, but he had already made arrangements. "My construction site will be closed for the holidays in a few days, and I don't have much to do before then. Let's go to your rented apartment first to move the rest of our things over, and then we'll cancel our lease there. After that, we'll go shopping for New Year's goods together. Besides buying things for the New Year, I also need to deliver gifts to a lot of people before the New Year. If we buy them together, you can also get to know some of my business connections."
Gu Yueji was stunned, surprised that he actually wanted to take her along to deliver the gift.
However, before she could ask, Ren Jin continued, "After the New Year, let's start renovating the house. I will arrange for people to come and do the renovation. You just need to communicate with the construction team according to your ideas."
Thinking about their work, he asked again, "Could you shorten your live stream time a bit? There's a lot going on with the renovation, and I'll be going to the construction site every day, which is quite far from the house. I'll probably need you to keep an eye on the renovation more often."
Gu Yueji thought for a moment. Now that her live streaming had stabilized and her workflow was regular and smooth, squeezing in some time wouldn't be a problem. She nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it."
With those words from her, Ren Jin didn't say anything more and naturally entrusted the matter to her.
This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of having someone share the burden, and Ren Jin thought it was pretty good. "If the partner does a good job, there will be a reward."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yueji looked up at him expectantly, "What reward?"
Ren Jin smiled and said, "A real stud in bed."
"Get out of here!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes brimming with undisguised laughter, and finally grinned, their smiles as radiant as the sunlight streaming through the window.
