After having the servants at Villa No. 1 tidy up and go back to their rooms to rest, Eddie Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei went to Villa No. 2 next door.
The maid brought in hot tea, and Eddie took only one sip before exclaiming, "Chinese tea is really fragrant. I used to only drink coffee, but since I spent some time in China, I've fallen in love with the tea here, and I don't even feel comfortable drinking coffee anymore."
Gu Yibei said, "Since you like them, brother, you can take some with you when the time comes."
Eddie smiled, his gaze sweeping over the villa's decor: "The style here is a bit different from my uncle's."
Villa No. 1 in Liyuan is equipped with all kinds of advanced equipment, almost all of which are artificial intelligence. In addition to maids, there are also small robots that serve tea and water.
However, Gu Yibei's style is simple and comfortable to look at, but when compared with the two, Gu Yibei's style obviously looks much more shabby.
"Hmm." Gu Yibei responded casually, glanced around at the decor, and finally fixed his gaze on Ji Zhinan beside him, squeezing her hand.
"Nan Nan likes this style."
Whether it was the decoration of Jiujin Platinum Palace or the decoration of Villa No. 2, Gu Yibei mainly followed Ji Zhinan's style.
Looking at the loving couple, Eddie smiled gently: "I had heard that Mr. Gu was decisive and efficient when I was in Europe, so in my impression, Mr. Gu was probably a workaholic with no feelings. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Mr. Gu was also a doting husband."
He spends most of his time in Europe, while the Gu family's main influence is in Asia. If it weren't for Ji Zhinan's involvement, Eddie and Gu Yibei probably wouldn't have had much of a chance to get in touch.
"I've been having some work-related headaches lately, would you be willing to give me some advice?" Eddie invited.
"It would be my great honor."
Eddie smiled and looked at Ji Zhinan: "Nannan, it's late now. Let's go to the study to talk about work. You should get some rest."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but for some reason, Ji Zhinan felt that something was not quite right.
Seeing Ji Zhinan's stunned expression, Eddie chuckled softly, his smile deepening: "What? Afraid I'll do something to Young Master Gu?"
Ji Zhinan shook her head; she naturally hadn't thought that way.
Gu Yibei patted her head, his eyes filled with undisguised tenderness, and his voice softened considerably: "Brother likes our family's tea. Why don't you go and pack some and then brew a pot of tea?"
“Okay.” Ji Zhinan was obedient and led Shelley and several maids to the kitchen.
Gu Yibei and Eddie went up to the study on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the study, Gu Yibei locked the door.
Eddie looked around the study's decor, his gaze finally settling on the photo album on the workbench.
The album contains solo photos of Ji Zhinan, which Gu Yibei placed there. Whenever he feels tired from work, looking at her gives him renewed motivation.
Ji Zhinan usually has very few expressions, and when she's serious, she's an ice queen. But in this photo, she has a slight smile on her face, and her eyes are brighter than usual, perhaps because the person opposite her is her beloved.
With her blue eyes fixed on those beautiful eyes, Eddie gently stroked Ji Zhinan's face in the photo with her fingertips, and smiled tenderly.
As I smiled, a mixture of tenderness and bitterness lingered.
Gu Yibei locked the door, turned his head and saw Eddie holding a photo album. His eyes flashed.
"Nannan won't be up for a while, so if there's anything you can only tell me, please keep it brief."
Upon hearing this, Eddie looked at him in surprise: "You know?"
