"Gu Fei".
"ah?"
"My name is Gu Fei, Gu as in 'take care' and Fei as in 'literary talent'." After saying that, he glanced at the boy beside him out of the corner of his eye, a hint of expectation hidden in his otherwise emotionless eyes, and his lips were slightly pursed.
“Gu Fei…” Lin Qingyan murmured softly, his delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed as if he were thinking about something. After a moment, he asked in confusion, “Mr. Gu, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
"Is that so?" His tone remained calm, but no one noticed that a hint of optimism appeared in the man's eyes and brows after hearing the boy's words.
Sitting in the back, trying to keep a low profile and be invisible, the second young master An couldn't help but speak up after a while, "Kid, it's normal that you think he looks familiar. You know the Gu Group, the richest family in Nancheng, right? Our Brother Fei is the head of the Gu family."
He really couldn't stand not talking; he felt uncomfortable all over.
After speaking, An Yu observed the boy's expression with great interest from behind. The richest man in Nancheng was sitting next to him. Any normal person would be so shocked that they wouldn't be able to speak.
"oh……"
"No wonder Mr. Gu looked familiar; I must have seen him in the news or a magazine."
Hearing Lin Qingyan's words, Gu Fei's mood sank again.
"..." An Yu's lips twitched involuntarily. Why was this young man's reaction so indifferent? Couldn't he at least pretend to be surprised and show some support? That was the famous Master Gu Fei, and countless people wanted to get close to him.
Why is this little white rabbit completely unmoved?
They're either too naive or too shrewd.
Perhaps it wasn't the innocent little rabbit who was deceived, but rather Brother Fei. Maybe the innocent little rabbit already knew who Gu Fei was, and then deliberately sought opportunities to get close to him. Moreover, when she learned Gu Fei's identity, she pretended to be calm in order to attract Gu Fei's attention.
That's how it's written in domineering CEO novels.
An Yu thought to herself.
Lin Qingyan certainly knew about the famous Gu Group, whose businesses spanned multiple sectors including real estate, finance, pharmaceuticals, and entertainment, making it the undisputed leading group in Nancheng.
Nancheng's economy ranks among the top in the country.
This shows how large the Gu family's wealth is.
He had already sensed that the man's appearance, demeanor, and clothing suggested he was no ordinary person, but rather someone of high status and wealth, so he wasn't particularly surprised when he heard An Yu's words.
Perhaps it was because he had been reborn; if it were before, he would probably have been so shocked that his mind would have been unable to think.
I just didn't expect the head of the Gu Group to be so young. Looking at Gu Fei's face, he looks to be only about twenty-five years old. He must be very outstanding to be able to manage such a large group at such a young age.
So here's the question.
If Gu Fei really was the man who took care of him in his past life, the richest man in Nancheng, a young, handsome, tall, good-looking, and elegant top-tier rich and handsome man, why would he know such a nobody with a terrible reputation?
It's strange that she not only knew him but also secretly took care of him.
Did he have some kind of relationship with a man?
But how could I have no recollection of it at all?
Lin Qingyan suppressed her doubts and looked at Gu Fei, "By the way, Mr. Gu, I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Lin..."
"Lin Qingyan." After a pause, Gu Fei added, "I heard it just now."
Lin Qingyan nodded knowingly; he had indeed told An Yu his name earlier.
However, he sensed that Gu Fei was in a bad mood. His face, which was already expressionless, was now slightly pursed down, and his sharp features gave him an aura that kept strangers at bay.
It was perfectly fine just a moment ago.
Perhaps that's just how rich people are—unpredictable and volatile.
After driving for about twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of Xiuzhenzhai. Gu Fei must be a regular here, because the doorman quickly came over and politely called him Master Gu, and then called An Yu Second Young Master An.
Finally, a curious gaze settled on Lin Qingyan. The boy was wearing an inexpensive short-sleeved shirt and jeans, but his fair face was very handsome and refined, unlike anything I had seen before.
Noticing the doorman's gaze, Lin Qingyan gave him a symbolic, friendly smile.
The young man looked even more handsome when he smiled, and the doorman immediately looked away shyly, asking Gu Fei respectfully, "Mr. Gu, is it the same private room as before?"
Gu Fei gave a casual "hmm".
"This way, please, all three of you."
Xiuzhenzhai is a well-known five-star restaurant in Nancheng. Normally, you need to make a reservation to dine here, but Gu Fei obviously doesn't need to. There is a private room reserved for him.
Because Xiuzhenzhai is under the Gu Group.
Lin Qingyan was naturally unaware of these things. It was his first time dining here. He sat down and looked around the private room with some curiosity. It was just as high-end and classy as the man sitting next to him.
"Yan Yan, Brother Yu is only able to sit here because of you." Although the words were spoken to Lin Qingyan, An Yu's teasing gaze was actually directed at Gu Fei.
Lin Qingyan didn't understand his words, his clear, watery eyes filled with confusion. Gu Fei, standing beside him, placed the menu in front of him without changing his expression, and said in a gentle tone, "You can order whatever you want."
Lin Qingyan glanced at the price.
...
No, he doesn't deserve to order.
"Mr. Gu, why don't you have some?"
"Okay." Gu Fei took the menu and casually glanced at it. An Yu, sitting on the other side, said in a pretentious manner, "Feifei, I want to eat crayfish and hairy crabs, as well as spicy rabbit heads and pig brains. Rabbits and pigs are so cute and delicious."
...
Gu Fei said, "If you don't want to eat, turn left and go out."
"And one more thing," Gu Fei said calmly and expressionlessly, "If you call my name that disgustingly again, don't put any of your purchases at Xiuzhenzhai on my tab."
An Yu, who often dined and dashed, immediately restrained herself and started begging for mercy from Grandpa Gu and Dad Gu.
The only person in this world who can keep the Second Young Master in check is not his parents or older brother, but Gu Fei, this very man.
Lin Qingyan, who had been watching the whole thing, couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected An Nanyi's second brother to be so funny, so carefree and without any guile, completely different from An Nanyi.
The boy's genuine smile was as warm as the March sun, his eyes curving into a beautiful arc, carrying a touch of cuteness and playfulness.
Gu Fei silently looked away, glancing down at the menu to conceal the strange glint in his eyes, and ordered from the waiter in a natural tone.
Just then.
Suddenly, the sound of a camera shutter clicked, and Lin Qingyan, who had been all smiles, froze instantly. He had just picked up his water glass when his hand trembled, and the glass fell onto the table.
Everything was a conditioned reflex; fear and panic quickly took over his mind, and the boy's face turned pale instantly, like a frightened rabbit.
