Chapter 31: The First Open Provocation to the Heroine



Jiaojiao: Oh, what a sin.

At the end of this meal, Gou An was probably the only one who was full.

After the breakup, Jiang Yuan was called away by Gou Xun’s teacher, saying that it was because his credit card was suspended. The teacher knew that this guy was working in a bar as a minor, and now the school asked his parents to go for a talk.

Of course, Gou Yu couldn't be allowed to do such a thing, not because it was embarrassing, but because he might catch Gou Xun and beat him up in front of the teacher at school.

On the way home, Gou An and her beloved father were the only ones left. The atmosphere in the car was a little subtle.

Because of the little incident at the dinner table, Gou Yu hesitated to speak several times.

The atmosphere was so intense that Gou An was stunned. At a red light, the car was unusually quiet. She patted her father on the shoulder and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. We have known each other for so many years. Don't play hard to get."

Gou Yu's face showed an eager expression of "Since you asked, I'll tell you."

"An'an," the kind old father said in a long voice, "you and He Jinxing——"

"Um?"

"You're not in a relationship, are you?"

"..." Gou An's mind went blank for about three seconds before he realized what Gou Yu was saying, "What are you talking about? What magic did this meal have that made you have all kinds of unnecessary hallucinations? In addition to wanting to get a huge investment from He Jinxing for free, you also want him to be your son-in-law?"

Gou Yu turned his head and stared at his daughter's eyes with a complex expression: "I saw it."

"What did you see?" Gou An was at a loss, "I didn't even touch him."

"..." Gou Yu had no idea what was going on in his daughter's head all day long. "I saw you pick up food for him with your own chopsticks..."

He paused as he spoke, as if the next words would kill him.

"He ate it."

When talking about this incident, Gou An almost wanted to smile, thinking that it was okay, don't be afraid, after all, I was also scared enough at that time.

But she still pretended to be calm and said, "I just saw that my uncle was always pestered by you and had no time to eat, so I couldn't help but want to honor him, you know? Just like when mom always sits next to grandma during the reunion dinner and picks food for her... If I don't do this, grandma won't be able to eat a single bite of food because of us ignorant young people who keep saying blessings in turn."

"Respect?"

"He is the elder, and he is injured," Gou An pointed to his wrist and lied without blinking, "Isn't it right to respect him?"

Gou Yu felt that this statement was far-fetched, but he seemed to accept it reluctantly. He did not dwell on this issue any further, as if he had put down a huge stone in his heart and seemed to be relieved.

It's really funny to see dad looking so serious and troubled. No wonder mom always likes to tease him.

"What's wrong?" Gou An said, "Isn't the marriage relationship with the He family still there? He Jinxing is also single and of marriageable age. Why can't he sacrifice himself for justice?"

"Because I can't accept Jiang Cheng's doing this," Gou Yu pointed in the direction of Chaotian, "Call me daddy instead."

Gou An has started laughing.

"Don't laugh, what are you laughing at, be serious." Gou Yu had a blank expression on his face. "It's a bit scary just thinking about it. That's He Jinxing. Don't you think he looks like the kind of person who seems to have a good relationship with everyone but can't get close to anyone at all... For example, today I proposed to build an oceanarium at Jinshan Wharf. Your mother actually sent a WeChat message across the table asking me if I had any problem. Even your mother couldn't stand it, but He Jinxing still smiled and said, 'It's not that I can't consider it.'"

Gou An laughed so hard that he leaned against the door, his shoulders shaking.

"This man is so natural in making promises. He will definitely be the type to wave goodbye to his feelings without a trace and still deceive a girl like you into dying for him..." Gou Yu felt that as a man, he understood men very well. The more he spoke, the more convinced he became. "No one will be happy if they marry him. You can't be the unlucky one."

Gou An sat up straight, suppressed his laughter, and nodded in a serious tone: "Okay, I don't dare to do that."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips wildly.

Gou Yu nodded: "Yes, I don't think you would dare to do that."

This was the last day of the National Day holiday. Before the He family could find another decent guy to be her fiancé, Gou An temporarily regained her freedom.

He Jinxing promised at the dinner table that he could let Gou An choose for himself. Everyone heard this, but as smart as he was, he forgot to add a deadline.

Gou An was ready to use her strength to prove to him what "indecisiveness" meant. Maybe when she was eighty years old, she would still be picky, but the content would become which old man from the He family's photo should be pasted next to her photo on the double tombstone.

Her mood suddenly became bright and sunny. Gou An asked Gou Yu to take her to CW Commercial Center. The jewelry brand VE that she often bought had a new series. She wanted to pick out a new set of jewelry for herself to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony banquet jointly held by various families in Jiangcheng next week.

Although she is not the protagonist, she can still meet all the familiar or unfamiliar second-generation rich people. These people usually have nothing to do but gossip...

If I accidentally wore a piece of jewelry that I had used last year, the news that the Gou family had fallen into poverty would spread the next day.

She and He Ran had just broken off their engagement, so there was really no need for any rumors that the Gou family depended on the He family for survival and would collapse at the slightest sign of trouble.

So the layout needs to be decorated well.

Gou An got out of the car with the card handed to her by Gou Yu. Just as she was about to embrace her freedom, she saw another silent figure getting out of the annoying Audi A6 behind her.

He walked behind her as a matter of course and stood firm like a door god.

Gou An squinted at him and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Because Gou Yu gave a large sum of money, which was quite important for Ye Lang who had temporarily lost his stable job.

But he knew without even saying a word that this answer would not impress the person in front of him at all. She looked at him as if she were an enemy.

Ye Lang still didn't know how he had offended her, but he had seen her jumping up and down in the restaurant, flirting with everyone without restraint...

never mind.

Ye Lang said to himself again.

If you are less curious, you will be scolded less often by her.

When Mr. Bodyguard was daydreaming about the war between heaven and man, his dull look made Gou Anduo look at him twice. Judging from his expression, he was probably troubled by something.

Gou An didn't know what he was struggling with at the moment -

If it was Miss Gou in the dream, she would have come up to him and asked with concern: Yelang, why are you in a bad mood? I will buy you your favorite butterfly cakes, please don't be in a bad mood.

But Gou An was too lazy to guess what he was thinking now.

Let him die.

She turned around and walked into the mall expressionlessly, shopping on her own, even though the man following behind her attracted so much attention that every passerby would look at him curiously or in amazement...

Then he naturally turned his gaze to her.

Gou An walked around for a while. Before buying jewelry, she was already tired just from looking at clothes and shoes. Her legs felt weak when she walked. Then she heard someone behind her say, "I'll help you get it."

I'm talking about the shopping bags in her hands.

"No." She refused decisively, "Go away."

"I can't leave." Ye Lang said, "It's my job to watch you."

"Really? Don't worry, your job won't last more than 48 hours. I'll fire you when I get back—"

As she spoke, she tilted her head inadvertently and looked at the blurry figure behind her in the window: her steps were steady and full of energy.

The voice paused, and she moved her lips, silently cursing "son of a bastard".

Just then, she passed by a famous ice cream shop in Jiangcheng. When she was considering whether to go in and have an ice cream and take a break, she saw Lu Wan working in the shop.

Oh, she works here in the CW Center shopping district, as those gossipers in school mentioned before.

The person following behind him had stopped making any sound, so Gou An turned around to look at him—

At this moment, Ye Lang turned his head slightly, and looked at the busy people in the glass window with his calm black eyes. He finally moved his gaze away from Gou An, which had been fixed on him since the beginning at the entrance of CW shopping mall.

Gou An couldn't tell what she felt now.

Probably he wanted to give this pair of inspirational life cards in the tube building a beating on the spot.

"If you like it, go in and have a look."

Before she could react, she had already spoken in a sarcastic tone.

Watching Ye Lang stare blankly, he turned his gaze back to look at her, that look -

She pursed her lips. Why did she act as if she had done something wrong and was bullying others? Gou An carried a lot of bags and pushed the door open to enter the dessert shop. Across the cold cash register, Lu Wan was stunned when he saw her.

A person was standing at the cashier counter, being urged to get ice cream quickly, and was in a daze;

It was also difficult for her to stand outside the checkout counter alone - the only difficulty was that she had too many shopping bags in her hands. Perhaps she forgot to put them down, so she was holding these expensive brand-name shopping bags and struggling to flip through the list of ice cream varieties.

The ice cream here is very expensive. The basic version costs nearly 200 yuan. Gou An ordered a melon version, which is half an imported soft-serve ice cream with a hole in the middle, and filled with milk ice cream. There is also edible gold foil on the milk ice cream, which costs 288 yuan.

Lu Wan has been working here for a long time, but there are no employee benefits. In order to prevent the recipe from leaking, the store manager has to clean the ice cream machine himself every day, and the employees have no chance to taste the thousands of ice creams sold every day.

And at this moment, the Ye Lang she knew stood behind Gou An as a protector.

In Lu Wan's opinion, it seemed that all the good things in the world were gathered around this girl of the same age——

She got them, effortlessly, just like she got that nearly three hundred dollar ice cream.

It was hard not to be envious.

And she didn't know that she had already revealed some emotions on her face. Girls of this age are actually not very good at hiding their thoughts. They will be jealous and sad. This is very normal.

Lu Wan's eyes flickered and his mood was complicated. Overall, he probably felt a little embarrassed.

While Gou An was standing by and waiting, she saw Ye Lang and Lu Wan's eyes meet. Although she knew that this was none of her business and she should walk away, since it was related to Ye Lang, she couldn't help it.

"What's wrong? Did you meet someone you know?" She asked knowingly, and kicked the tip of Ye Lang's shoe. "Let's chat for a while?"

Is it embarrassing? One is working part-time and the other is a bodyguard.

They are all serving the people they hate the most. They meet in such an awkward situation. Tsk tsk tsk.

A system cat in my mind was sighing and groaning, saying it was a sin.

As a vicious female supporting role, Gou An, who started over again, rarely took the initiative to provoke the heroine. The only time he caused trouble for her was probably because of a scholarship.

There has never been such a blatant provocation as this one.

At this moment, Miss Gou, who had a smile on her face, didn't think too much. She felt uncomfortable just looking at the two of them standing together and breathing the same air in the same room.

It was like there was someone dancing next to her all the time with a banner that read: You are so stupid! Look at them, their eyes are so squinty, look at them and you didn't realize how stupid they are before! Really stupid.

Lu Wan did not take the initiative to talk to Ye Lang because it was time to change shifts, and the young lady who replaced her urged her to exchange her work badge quickly.

Lu Wan said "Oh" in a low voice.

Gou An's ice cream also arrived. When she got her ice cream and was about to ignore the two bastards and turn away, she suddenly heard a hoarse male voice: "Are you off work?"

Gou An paused.

Of course I'm not asking her this.

Turning back, I saw Ye Lang took out his cell phone, then pointed at the ice cream in Gou An's hand and said expressionlessly, "I want the same one."

Gou An: “?”

Lu Wan: “Ah?”

Ye Lang shook his phone and said, "Try it too. You've worked hard at work."

Lu Wan was stunned.

But before she could say no, someone had already responded.

Standing next to the two people, Gou An lowered his head to look at the ice cream in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and put it down reluctantly.

Then, in the next second, he quickly picked up the ice cream remnants on the table next to him without hesitation and threw them at Ye Lang! With a "pop", the melted ice cream soup mixed with strawberry jam or something else splashed on the bodyguard's dark suit and his chin! The sudden attack only took a moment.

No one reacted.

Even passers-by in the store were stunned.

Ye Lang put down his phone and turned around, and saw Miss Gou standing beside him with her arms folded. She said coldly, "Go back and change your clothes, don't embarrass yourself here."
