"You Chinese have some sayings: 'A crow tries to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, a toad wants to eat swan meat!'"
"I had long heard that Mrs. Wagner was eloquent and quick-witted, and seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."
Before Ji Zhinan could retort, the man's voice interrupted.
"..."
Mrs. Wagner paused, then instinctively looked toward the source of the sound. When she saw Gu Yibei walking gracefully toward her in a black trench coat, her expression changed slightly.
There's a feeling of guilt when you're caught talking badly about someone.
Gu Yibei's face was cold and stern, his features were outstanding and distinct, his handsome eyebrows were like blades, his eyes were as black as ink and as deep as the sea, his nose was straight and his thin lips were pursed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood.
Today, Gu Yibei was unusually not dressed in a suit and tie. He wore a very simple white shirt underneath, which Ji Zhinan had bought for him. The two gemstone buttons at the top of the shirt were particularly eye-catching, sewn by Ji Zhinan. He casually wore a black trench coat over it, a gift from Ji Zhinan.
He was tall and slender, with a handsome and elegant gait. Although he was dressed simply, it did not diminish his good looks and charm at all.
The moment Ji Zhinan saw Gu Yibei arrive, all her attention was focused on the man.
Gu Yibei walked over and saw Ji Zhinan's attire. His eyes instantly turned deep and unfathomable, as if everything else had become outside his world, and in his world, only she existed.
Those eyes seemed glued to her, staring straight at her, impossible to pull away from.
After a pause, he suddenly took off his trench coat and draped it over Ji Zhinan's shoulders.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Ji Zhinan subconsciously looked down at her clothes and then asked, "Do I look good dressed like this?"
The man didn't speak, but just stared at her. Just as Ji Zhinan was about to be disappointed, Gu Yibei suddenly lowered his head and accurately captured her lips with his, showing off their affection.
The maids watching from the sidelines: "..."
The three ladies: "..."
Once his girlfriend was happy, Gu Yibei reluctantly let go of her, his voice hoarse and low: "I missed you so much."
Even though it had only been half a day since he last saw her, it felt like half a century had passed.
Ji Zhinan's lips curved into a smile, indicating that he was in a good mood.
"nice."
Gu Yibei suddenly said this.
One second Ji Zhinan didn't understand what it meant, but the next second he realized it.
He was saying she looked good today.
Ji Zhinan's smile deepened immediately.
With his wife in his arms, Ji Zhinan's waist was wrapped around his arm, and his fierce aura subsided considerably. He then slowly turned his gaze to the three noble ladies sitting on the antique sofa, who were dumbfounded, and finally found Mrs. Wagner.
"Mrs. Wagner?" he asked, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
Mrs. Wagner snapped out of her reverie and immediately nodded: "You know me?"
"Of course." Gu Yibei nodded readily.
Just as Mrs. Wagner was about to rejoice, her smile froze on her face the next second, as Gu Yibei spoke calmly.
"You must be the mother of that pockmarked lady."
"..."
Miss Wagner is white, and if we really compare skin color, Ji Zhinan, with his pale complexion, is naturally not as fair as a white person.
White people have beautiful skin, but one drawback is that it is very rough. Black people, although they are dark-skinned, have very good and smooth skin.
Miss Wagner was only in her twenties, but her appearance had already begun to decline significantly. Most importantly, her face was covered with very noticeable freckles, which sometimes couldn't be covered even with foundation.
