Just try to give it back to her if you dare! She had no idea that her every move was being bathed in the loving gaze of a certain "elder". At this moment, Miss Gou proudly raised her pointed and delicate chin, like a proud little peacock, busy making things difficult for her bodyguard.
——It’s not that she is really interested in the heroine of the original novel. At least before she met Ye Lang, she wanted to avoid Lu Wan when she saw her, and rarely took the initiative to provoke her.
Until the truth comes out, revealing the hideous truth hidden under the peace.
Admit it, I'm jealous.
As long as Ye Lang and Lu Wan appear in the same geographical location, and their eyes exchange even for a second, Gou An will lose his mind and pray sincerely that the earth will explode in the next second.
She just couldn't accept it.
In the original novel, the vicious female supporting character went crazy and drugged people. This was something that she would do. She would never cover her mouth and say, "Oh, how could this be so scary?" -
That's so hypocritical.
That is her, Gou An, the immature and calm Miss Gou who is dominated by her emotions at any moment. If she goes crazy, and if no one warns her and gives her the right guidance, she knows that she will do something crazy that seems to be caused by a brain stem defect.
Unfortunately, Ye Lang was facing her at this moment when her sanity was beginning to burn——
There was a gleam of provocation in her cold eyes.
Fortunately, the bodyguard prided himself on his excellent psychological quality, and he did not show much emotion when asked outrageous demands. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Wan, who was not far away and had no idea that he was about to suffer a disaster.
Gou Xun bent down and whispered something in her ear. She tilted her head and smiled sweetly at the boy, making a "see you later" gesture to him, with a beautiful smile.
Gou Xun walked away, leaving Lu Wan alone, along with a group of second-generation rich kids who were eager to approach him and strike up a conversation.
It was only after Ye Lang was bullied for the first time in the ice cream shop that he thought of asking what was going on. He asked someone at random and found out that Gou An really hated his neighbor in the tube building...
The driver Xiao Zhang talked about the cause and effect. It seemed that the specific reason for his dislike was because of the love-hate relationship of the young master of the He family.
At this point, Ye Lang was actually a little confused. He Ran was the one who committed the sin, so why was he the one who suffered so frequently? Was it because he and Lu Wan were neighbors? He frowned slightly.
"What does frowning mean?" Gou An, who is obsessed with details, asked, "Are you unwilling?"
"I noticed when I came here just now," Ye Lang said in a respectful and cautious tone, "that iced drinks have been placed in the banquet hall."
——There is no sun in the banquet hall, so you won’t be exposed to the sun. There is also ice cola. Please go there to escape the heat.
This is his subtext.
It was obvious that Gou An understood.
Because in the next second, Ye Lang found that the almond-shaped watery eyes blurred and rippling, and then a raging flame burned.
What happened? Ye Lang was finally a little stunned and closed his mouth blankly.
Gou An pulled the corners of his lips and said stiffly: "I just want to stand here and feel the sea breeze. I don't want to go to the banquet hall."
"The sun will set soon."
"But I don't want to bask in the sun for even a second." Gou An frowned impatiently, "Why, is it so difficult to ask you to do something?"
"A hypothesis."
"What?"
"What happens if I say no?"
"If you can't wait until tomorrow, you'll be unemployed." Gou An said firmly, "I will stand on the side of the ship until my father signs your dismissal letter and slaps you in the face, otherwise I will jump off the side of the ship."
Ye Lang looked down at the rich young lady in front of him, trying to find any trace of joking on this delicate, beautiful, yet willful and somewhat slap-worthy face...
Unfortunately, her eyes were wide open and she couldn't be more serious.
Ye Lang sighed silently. He had never had as many headaches in his life as he had in the last few days. He raised his hand and pushed the young lady, who always insisted that she "would rather enjoy the sea breeze than the sun", into the shade under the eaves.
then.
He turned and walked towards the girl in a white dress not far away.
Lu Wan was standing on the side of the boat feeding seagulls. The sea breeze blew up the corner of her skirt. She raised her hand to hold down her sun hat to prevent it from being blown away. A corner of the hat was lifted up, revealing her fair face.
A flock of birds flew by, occasionally hovering to peck at the bread in her hand. She broke the crumbs and scattered them, and the rustling of the birds' feathers drowned her out.
The heroine in the story seems to always be like this. While chatting and laughing, she becomes the most beautiful painting in the eyes of others.
No one knew where Gou Xun had run off to. Lu Wan was just showing off her charm of being close to nature like a Disney princess, when suddenly she saw a tall and straight figure approaching from the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously turned her head, and the first second she saw Ye Lang's face, she smiled with surprise and waved at him: "Alang, you are here too!"
Faced with this smiling face, Ye Lang was a little hesitant.
He turned around to look at Miss Gou who was standing under the eaves. She was looking at him expressionlessly with her arms folded.
“…”
As an innocent innocent, Ye Lang instantly felt a little more disgusted with He Ran. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up on making too many excuses or hypocritical greetings.
"Wanwan." Ye Lang spoke a little abruptly, "Lend me your hat."
The smile on Lu Wan's face paused, and then he showed a hesitant expression: "What?"
Ye Lang pointed at the sun hat on her head, expressionless: "This."
Lu Wan also pointed at the hat, and the confusion on his face became more vivid: "This? Straw hat? You want it?"
The straw hat on his head had a large brim and was woven in straw color. The shape was undoubtedly a women's hat - even if you ignore the shape of the hat, the two cute strawberries and bunnies decorated on it did not match the sullen-faced man in a suit in front of him.
A huge question mark popped up in my head.
Lu Wan touched the brim of his hat with one finger in a daze and looked at the sky... Was it because the sun was too strong today that Ye Lang was dizzy from the heat?
Just when she was extremely confused, as if hearing her inner doubts, the man in front of her said stiffly: "It's not me, it's Gou An, she said to dry it."
Lu Wan subconsciously turned sideways, and from the side of the door-like figure in front of him, he saw a little girl standing in the shade about seven or eight meters behind him...
Not even an eyelash on her body was in the sun now.
Lu Wan was completely stunned: "Gou An, do you want my sun hat?"
Ye Lang also thought this matter was so absurd that he didn't want to argue about it any more. "Yes, give it to me. I'll buy you another one later."
The sound is hard.
He seemed a little impatient, but he didn't know who this impatience was directed at.
Lu Wan hesitated for a moment, but didn't say much. She bent down and reached out to take off her sun hat. A gust of sea breeze blew her soft long hair, which was no longer protected, into a mess.
She handed the sun hat to Ye Lang with both hands. When the latter was about to take it, she finally couldn't help but whispered, "Does being a bodyguard have to be this far?"
"What?"
"You have to do whatever she tells you to do."
“…”
"She seems to hate seeing me and anyone she knows in the same place at the same time. She always gets angry or something. Think about the last time in the ice cream shop--"
No.
That wasn't the first time at an ice cream shop.
The first time was in my closet. After seeing you, she seemed to be possessed by a demon.
From then on, I never saw her in a good mood again.
Ye Lang added a lot of things in his mind, but remained silent.
"But we were just talking normally, why would she be upset about this?"
“…”
Is Gou An unhappy because I'm talking to you?
Ye Lang was surprised by her perspective.
He immediately turned around to look at Miss Gou behind him. As expected, her face was full of impatience, probably saying: Have you guys talked enough? "..."
"But you are still a little special."
Ye Lang turned his gaze back to Lu Wan's face, finding it hard to convince himself to pretend that he didn't care.
Maybe his strange look was too direct, Lu Wan smiled, "Anyway, Gou An wasn't that angry when she saw me with He Ran or Gou Xun... Most of the time she would scold them, but she wouldn't order them to find fault and try to make me feel unhappy."
“…”
Yeah?
Are you sure she doesn't think the bodyguard is easy to bully? Ye Lang denied it without thinking, "She probably just simply hates you."
Lu Wan: “…”
Lu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the blunt words spoken by the person in front of him. He clenched the hat in his hand and said, "So, I warned you!"
"Um?"
"I said, in most cases, Gou An 'wouldn't use them to find fault and try to make me feel unhappy'," Lu Wan had to make it clear, "Isn't it obvious enough? What I mean is, you knew that I might be unhappy about this hat, but even so, did you still want to lend it to her?"
Ye Lang said without hesitation: "I will buy another one for you."
What it means is: Now, you have to have it.
"But I feel the sunburn too!" Lu Wan grumbled softly, but before Ye Lang could respond, she smiled and stuffed the sun hat in her hand into Ye Lang's arms, "Okay! It's more important to keep your job. Here, give it to you! Take it and report it!"
Ye Lang held the hat and took a while to react. Should he apologize politely?
After all, I asked for other people's things for no reason.
But apart from the momentary disappointment just now, Lu Wan didn't seem to be particularly unhappy.
So Ye Lang raised his hat to express his gratitude, turned around and went in the direction he came from. He didn't even look back to see the emotion on the face of the person behind him. He turned his back and never looked back again.
Ye Lang had only been away for less than five minutes when Miss Gou was forced into some unexpected busyness.
She was unexpectedly entangled by a second-generation rich man, the eldest son of the Xu family. Gou An couldn't remember his name, but she remembered that his family's business conflicted with hers, and they were originally competitors...
That’s not all. The daughter of this family, Xu Ke, is very annoying, cunning, and speaks ill of her everywhere.
When Gou An was unlucky last month, she was the one who was happily jumping around on various social media platforms, making indirect accusations.
"My sister wants to ask you what your necklace is made of."
The person in front of him thought he was very charming and good at chatting, and he seized the important accessory that made Gou An the center of everyone's discussion tonight. He probably thought that complimenting this necklace would make her very happy.
Until the person in front of him took out his mobile phone and said, "It's convenient for you to add WeChat. Maybe I will order the same necklace as a birthday gift for my sister later..."
Gou An finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to ask him to get away.
“I can’t order it.”
Behind this man, a tall figure cast a shadow that enveloped him.
A slow, mature male voice sounded from a close distance behind him.
"I spent some time getting the design from Chen Jinli, and I only made this one joint model, so no matter how good it looks, there is only this one... So, I'm sorry."
The man's voice sounded as gentle as ever. Gou An turned around and saw that the man who was supposed to be playing golf with the old men on the deck upstairs had come down for some reason.
Damn it, could it be that he ran down here because he saw Lu Wan?
Gou An frowned, and naturally had no intention of paying attention to the QR code scanning interface that was already under his nose.
The young master of the Xu family who came to chat was a little angry because he was forcibly interrupted. He turned around and was about to explode, but when he looked into the dark eyes of the person who came up, he instantly felt that he had pushed open the door to the palace of Hades.
At this moment, He Jinxing was wearing a white and blue dark striped suit that was a little too young, which made him look not much different from He Ran and the second-generation rich people around him...
Apart from a watch, he had no other accessories on his body.
The man stood there, his brows relaxed, looking in a good mood.
"An'an," he called her by her nickname affectionately, like a normal elder, "Why are you looking at me with such bitterness and hatred? Are you disgusted with me for ruining your good fortune?"
“…”
I had no idea how long I had been standing there watching her. I could clearly see the reluctance and disgust on her face, but I was still pretending.
This person is outrageous.
Gou An smiled at He Jinxing stiffly, but he didn't have the courage to expose his hypocrisy. He turned around and said "sorry" to this Xu something (whose name he didn't know at all), and then immediately turned back to ask He Jinxing: "Why did my uncle come down here?"
"He Yuan is here. The old man was afraid that he was unfamiliar with the place and had forgotten all his Chinese, so he insisted that I go pick him up." He Jinxing said, "Do you want to come with us?"
“…”
You guys gave me a Chinese that I couldn't understand tonight and asked me to dance with him? What should I do when we dance? Should I just smile awkwardly and stare at him in silence for the whole dance?
Gou An felt powerless, but she did not refuse He Jinxing's intention to take her away from the scene. She said "Okay" weakly and took a step closer to him.
His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
One was like an eggplant hit by frost, but his attention was not on him at all; the other one politely nodded to him and said, "Sorry, I'll take the person away", but the tall figure was leaving too strongly and did not give him any chance to say "no" at all.
The man with the surname Xu had no choice but to give way.
Before Gou An left, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Ye Lang, who had successfully taken Lu Wan's sun hat, had returned.
Holding the ornament that was totally inconsistent with his image, the bodyguard stood in the sunlight not far away, seeming a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should call her.
Gou An raised the corners of his lips wearily and whispered to He Jinxing to ask to wait for a minute.
When the man stopped walking away cooperatively, she turned and walked towards her bodyguard.
“You really brought it back.”
There wasn't much joy in her tone, nor did she sound as happy as if she had asked Ye Lang to choose between her and Lu Wan and that he finally chose her.
"Leave it there." Gou An said, "I have to go meet a guest now."
Ye Lang lowered his head, not understanding why she always looked like she was bullied even though she had clearly bullied others. He couldn't tell what she disliked, but he just felt a little depressed -
He had already done what she said, so why was he still unhappy? Ye Lang was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied. Hearing this, he calmly lifted his eyelids, and then without saying anything, he raised his hand and knocked the hat that still had someone else's smell on it onto Gou An's head! The force was so great that she was caught off guard and her feet shook.
"What are you doing——"
"You'll be exposed to the sun on the way to the reception room," the bodyguard said sternly, "Wear it properly."
“…”
Gou An ripped off her sun hat that didn't match her outfit at all and threw it back at Ye Lang, saying angrily, "I don't want Lu Wan's things!"
This time I won’t pretend anymore.
"What are you angry about?"
"none of your business!"
I have heard this sentence countless times.
The sun hat was slapped back on her chest. Miss Gou angrily adjusted her hair with her fingers, turned around and took two steps towards Mr. He who was waiting there.
As if remembering something, he turned around abruptly and said to Ye Lang fiercely: "Just try and give it back to her if you dare!"
"oh."
"'Oh' what, talk!"
"No."
Gou An marched back to He Jinxing.
During her conversation with the bodyguard, the man stood there the whole time, with his usual unchanging smile and a look that was apparently non-aggressive but made people feel pressured, always falling lightly on her.
This is probably what old men do. Even if they are in a high position, it is rare for them to have the gentlemanly demeanor to tolerate a junior leaving them alone and running to the side to chat with the bodyguard about nonsense, wasting a lot of time.
Even when she returned to him with her skirt in hand, she said in a tone without any blame: "An An, you can't bully the bodyguard like this."
The whole sentence becomes less strong because of the word "的" added at the end.
Gou An raised her head slightly and looked blankly at the man next to her who was much taller than her, as if she was a little confused as to why he suddenly wanted to speak for Ye Lang.
"They are the ones who protect you, but you must have heard the saying 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it'."
The sun began to set and a plane took off from the deck.
The sound of the sea breeze mixed with the cries of departing seagulls, and the voices became unclear.
He Jinxing bent down slightly towards Gou An, and moved closer to her ear, "He Ran was kidnapped when he was a child because my father was too harsh on the bodyguards. He punished them just because He Ran fell into the water by the pond while playing, which caused one of the bodyguards to feel resentful and turned against me."
"He Ran was kidnapped by his bodyguards?"
Gou An was a little surprised. This was the first time she knew the details of He Ran's kidnapping.
Of course, if she had wanted to know earlier, she would have been able to find it in the original text, but she just had no interest and was too lazy to translate it.
"Before becoming bodyguards, most of them were desperate criminals who would do anything for money and had no sense of morality." He Jinxing said, and suddenly turned back to look at Ye Lang who was following him, "You shouldn't feel attacked by me saying this, right?"
…………Of course I do, unless he is deaf.
Gou An looked at the man with a smile on his lips in confusion, and felt that even his smile had become sinister and cunning.
I don’t quite understand why he suddenly attacked Ye Lang for no apparent reason...Ye Lang has been following me around lately, so it seems like he hasn’t offended me, right?
It was rare that Ye Lang didn't bother with He Jinxing. He glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye. He casually pinched the funny strawberry sun hat and turned his head to the side.
It's obvious that I don't even want to pay attention to this person with such a hypocritical smile.
"In short, we have to be polite to them," said He Jinxing.
It's very much like an elder preaching.
Unfortunately, the person being lectured didn't appreciate it at all.
"No need." Gou An said expressionlessly, "If you don't want to be cheated, just don't trust in the beginning."
He Jinxing and Ye Lang were both stunned when they heard this.
The bodyguard walking behind turned his gaze away from the sea and stared at the back of the girl's head. His eyes were heavy and it was unknown what he was thinking. In short, his reaction was much greater than when he was attacked by He Jinxing just now.
He Jinxing laughed, a genuine laugh. He didn't look angry at being disobeyed. On the contrary, his mood suddenly became very good because of these outrageous words.
As he laughed, Gou An looked back at the bodyguard holding the funny hat in his hand, and suddenly reacted slowly: Did her answer just now count as helping He Jinxing to bully Ye Lang? She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but when she looked into the other person's slightly low and dark eyes, she gave up the idea -
never mind.
He had been bullied all along.
Gou An turned her head and was about to continue walking forward when she suddenly felt a pain in her scalp being pulled somewhere. She frowned slightly and felt that the people around her also turned their heads to look at her.
He Jinxing suddenly stopped talking, his eyes lightly swept across Gou An's chest, hesitated for a few seconds, moved his eyes away, and reminded slowly: "An An, your hair is tangled in the necklace."
Gou An subconsciously looked down and felt a strand of hair being pulled, causing pain on his scalp—
She hissed and immediately stopped moving forward.
Maybe it was because the wind on the deck was too strong, blowing my hair onto the necklace. The necklace was complex in shape, so it was easy for it to get caught on my hair.
The necklace was too valuable and the party hadn't started yet, so it couldn't be damaged. Gou An began to regret not listening to the stylist and putting his hair up properly. Now he was in such a mess that he could only bend over and blind himself, trying to get his hair off the necklace.
Because the position was rather delicate, He Jinxing could only stand by and watch, and it was difficult for him to keep his sight on her chest. Gou An almost broke into a sweat after doing it twice.
While she was busy struggling with the necklace, the cell phone in her bag rang. Her hair became more and more tangled and she couldn't straighten her back. She could only ask He Jinxing to help her take out the phone.
He Jinxing took a look and saw that the caller was Zhou Yutong.
"It should be your friend," he said, "Do you want me to help you connect?"
At this time, Gou An was still thinking that Zhou Yutong and Tang Xinjiu must have gone out for a walk and came back and found that she was missing, so they were looking for her. So she said "OK" without thinking too much, and even remembered to say "thank you" politely.
She continued to bend over and struggle with the necklace. Out of the corner of her eye she saw He Jinxing open his phone and press the speakerphone button.
Then Zhou Yutong's voice rang out across the entire deck -
"Wai? An An? Where did you go? I just asked them, and they said that you were taken away by Uncle Butt! Oh my, you are taken away too easily. You looked so cool and arrogant just now, and acted like no one wanted to get your WeChat, but the result is like this! By the way, did you go on a date? Did you agree to dance together later? Hahahaha, go ahead, don't worry about my brother. He can bear the pressure. After all, he is Uncle Butt and he can't afford to offend him!"
There was a brief moment of silence, with only the sound of the sea breeze.
"Uncle with the butt up?"
The man's voice still sounded gentle and low-pitched.
There was a moment of dead silence on the other end of the phone.
At this moment, his hand slipped and the hair wrapped around the necklace was pulled off. After successfully freeing himself, Gou An straightened up and the first thing he did was to tilt his head to look at the railing on the side of the boat, considering the possibility of jumping from here.
