After sending the letter, Li Muyan silently apologized to Gu Nian in his heart: I'm sorry, Nian Nian, I'll only lie to you this once. It's because you're so good to me, and I'm afraid of losing you!
God help me, that Zhou kid must keep quiet and not let this lie be exposed.
In fact, Li Muyan did not think that the lie would be exposed. So much time had passed since Gu Nian's birthday, and Gu Nian was still asking him, which meant that she hadn't told him, and the Gu family didn't know either.
Even if that Zhou kid says something later, he can still refute it. Who told him to be so self-conscious as to give things away anonymously?
"Brother, I'm going to visit my eldest sister and third sister today. Is there anything you want to buy? I can bring it back for you!" At this moment, Li Shan came over again, still with that innocent and naive little girl look.
"If I need anything, I'll have Ah Chun and Ah Dong buy it for me." When Li Muyan saw Li Shan, Gu Nian's words from before flashed through his mind again.
“It’s so cold. I’m going out anyway, so don’t let Ah Chun and Ah Dong go out!” Li Shan said.
"Fourth Miss is so kind!" said A Dong, who was standing next to Li Muyan, sincerely.
As servants, they naturally hoped their masters would be considerate. Although it didn't snow in Qingzhou in winter, the wind was still very cold, and he even got frostbite.
“I don’t need to buy anything. Go by yourself, be careful, and tell your older sister and Hanhan to keep warm and take good care of yourself,” Li Muyan said, shaking his head.
"Okay, brother, I'm off then." Li Shan waved and left Li Muyan's courtyard.
Looking at Li Shan's thin figure and thinking about her consideration for the servants, Li Muyan felt that Gu Nian's words were wrong.
Never mind, it's probably because Nian Nian and Shan Er don't have much contact!
There's still a long road ahead, and he's confident he can improve Nian Nian's impression of Shan'er.
...
After a busy day, Gu Nian returned home and didn't want to move at all.
Fortunately, Grandpa Gu cooked a meal for the whole family at home, so she didn't have to lift a finger.
After greeting Grandpa Gu, Gu Nian was about to return to the second house when Grandpa Gu stopped her. He took out a letter from inside the house, saying it was delivered by a servant from the Li family.
After saying that, he teased her, "You guys haven't been releasing any new products lately, and Niannian is still negotiating with that kid from the Li family?"
Gu Nian generously said, "Grandpa, let me tell you a secret! I'm currently evaluating that young man from the Li family. If he passes the evaluation, you'll have a grandson-in-law. You told all my sisters that you'd prepared a dowry, but you didn't tell me. Are you being biased and not preparing one for me?"
She had been wanting to ask that before.
Grandpa Gu laughed heartily and said, "That's right, Grandpa is just biased. Niannian is so good at making money, Grandpa plans to distribute all of Niannian's dowry to Huihui and the others."
Gu Nian pouted: "Grandpa, if you won't give it to me, I'll ask Grandma. Grandma isn't biased, she treats everyone equally, hehehehe."
Grandpa Gu tapped her forehead: "You little rascal, you're the smartest one, using your grandma to scare Grandpa? But Niannian, you have to choose your husband carefully, don't be easily fooled by appearances. Choose someone who treats you well and trusts you unconditionally. Of course, first impressions are also important. Grandpa hopes Niannian will choose the right man for you on the first try, someone who is devoted to you wholeheartedly!"
Gu Nian nodded obediently: "Grandpa, don't worry! You said I'm the smartest, I'll definitely choose it on my first try!"
