Since he took over as the head of the family, he has had more contact with Lian Chuchu. Whenever he goes out to eat with Lin Feifan or has something to do with him, Lian Chuchu comes along.
Gu Ying didn't say anything, and also felt that it might be better for his fiancée to come along.
But all of this today suddenly made Gu Ying doubt Lian Chuchu's intentions.
"Chuchu, it seems you really are as Feifan said, a gentle and lovely girl."
Gu Ying's face suddenly softened, and her eyes, fixed on Lian Chuchu, were filled with tenderness.
Lian Chuchu suddenly met Gu Ying's gentle, captivating eyes.
Startled for a moment, she turned her head away, her eyes as innocent as a fawn's, and said hesitantly:
"Brother Gu Ying, no, don't say that. I'm not actually that good."
Gu Ying observed her every move, his brows furrowing subtly. He then coughed twice. Lian Chuchu looked at him anxiously, asking with concern:
"Gu Ying, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Ying covered his mouth with his hand and coughed for a while. During this time, Lian Chuchu wanted to pat Gu Ying's back to help him catch his breath, but Gu Ying dodged her without making a sound.
"Cough cough cough... It's nothing, just a minor cold."
Even with a worried look on her face, Lian Chuchu said, "You have to be careful even with a small cold, Brother Gu Ying. Should I go and call the housekeeper to bring you some food?"
Gu Ying nodded, and Lian Chuchu quickly turned around, stood up, and limped away.
Gu Ying's gaze fell on her ankle, then she curled her lips into a sarcastic sneer. This foot must be healing too fast. One moment it was hurting so much that she couldn't stand up, and the next second she could walk.
Clearly, even Chu Chu didn't have time to hide her feet anymore. Her mind was filled with Gu Ying's ambiguous words and the way he looked at her. The usually confident Chu Chu had never failed in front of a man.
Stepping out of the bedroom, Lian Chuchu couldn't help but smile. Gu Ying must have been attracted by her innocence and kindness. If she succeeded, she would become the mistress of this house.
Thinking of this, Lian Chuchu couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.
Because Gu Ying was sick, the kitchen prepared a lighter meal, and the housekeeper also brought extra food for Lian Chuchu.
Seeing Lian Chuchu at the door, the butler asked with concern:
"Miss Lian, how is your foot?"
Lian Chuchu looked down at her foot, then looked up and said, "It doesn't hurt as much as it did at first, thank you for your concern."
"That's good. Please have dinner with the head of the family. We've prepared something for you too."
Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, Lian Chuchu quickly declined, saying, "Brother Gu Ying, you can eat. I'm not hungry yet."
The housekeeper ignored her and instead knocked on the door before bringing the food into Gu Ying's bedroom.
"Master, I've also asked the kitchen to prepare a meal for Miss Lian. Please have her dine with you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ying gave the butler a strange look, but he didn't say anything. After the butler put the food on the bedside table, Gu Ying let him leave.
At this moment, Lian Chuchu limped in slowly, pausing with each step, her expression one of unbearable discomfort.
Seeing her like this, Gu Ying smiled and said, "Chu Chu, come and eat."
The same congee with shredded pork was prepared for Gu Ying and Lian Chuchu.
The air was filled with a wonderful fragrance. Even Chu Chu slowly moved to the bedside. Gu Ying pulled the blanket to the other side, then patted the empty space and said, "Please sit down."
Lian Chuchu said "thank you" and sat down.
Gu Ying handed her a bowl of porridge, smiling, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Lian Chuchu looked deeply moved, gazed at Gu Ying, nodded after a long while, and began to drink her porridge.
Gu Ying picked up another bowl and slowly drank it, her lowered eyes full of mockery. Since you are so unwilling to be Lin Feifan's fiancée, of course I will help you.
After lunch, Lin Feifan came to pick up Lian Chuchu. When he saw the injury on her ankle, his eyes were filled with heartache. In front of Gu Ying, Lian Chuchu did not cry to Lin Feifan as usual. Instead, she explained that she had accidentally slipped and fallen.
This further attracted Lin Feifan's affection and protection.
Before leaving, Lian Chuchu repeatedly urged Gu Ying to take good care of herself, and Gu Ying naturally smiled and agreed.
After they left, Gu Ying's face darkened completely, and she threw off the covers and got out of bed.
I called the housekeeper upstairs, and she changed all the bed sheets, duvet covers, and sofa covers. In the end, she even removed the carpet. "I'll go buy a new one this afternoon."
The butler asked with a puzzled look, "Master, the carpet was just laid out not long ago."
Gu Ying glanced at him coldly, and the butler quickly bowed his head and said, "Yes, Master, I understand."
Seeing the middle-aged butler's respectful bowed head, Gu Ying narrowed her eyes and spoke:
"Remember who your master is, and aren't you being a little too concerned about others?"
The butler froze for a moment, then quickly realized what the head of the family meant. He had assumed that Lian Chuchu was a good friend of the head of the family, and that the girl was quite nice, which was why he had exchanged a few more greetings and prepared lunch. He hadn't expected that things would turn out so differently.
"Thank you for reminding me, Master. I understand."
Gu Ying nodded. "Alright, go down now."
......
What Nan Zhi didn't know was that this time, Lian Chuchu was not liked by Gu Ying as she was in the book; instead, she was suspected and even disliked by some.
She was busy preparing for the selection process for the Chinese fashion design competition.
After registration, there will be a month-long online submission period from May to June. The Fashion Design Association will then select 30 entries over two months. In September, a selection competition will be held in Beijing to choose the 10 best entries to participate in the quadrennial international fashion design competition in France the following March.
Nan Zhi designed a set of clothes that fit the theme and sent it to the Fashion Design Association via email.
Now we just have to wait for news.
"Zhizhi, Xier and I don't need to go to school anymore, let's go play?"
Lin Youyou on the other end of the phone was extremely excited, and Qin Xier's voice could be faintly heard echoing her.
By May, many graduates had already gone out to work, but Lin Youyou and Qin Xier weren't busy at all and were even planning their graduation trip.
Where should we go for fun?
"Of course it's a graduation trip! Let's go abroad together, the three of us!"
Nanzhi: "..."
Graduation trip?
"That sounds quite interesting," Nan Zhi thought to herself, when Lin Youyou across from her spoke up again, "Come on, come on."
Qin Xi'er: "Zhizhi must agree, we have to go together."
The two girls' coquettish tone left Nanzhi speechless.
After a long while, under the repeated attacks of the two, Nanzhi nodded, "Go."
Qin Xi'er: "Zhizhi is the best."
Lin Youyou: "Zhizhi, I love you the most, mwah!"
Nanzhi: "..."
"Miss, are you sure you want to go?"
