Chapter 74 A Private World for Two
After they finished eating this dog food (a euphemism for witnessing a romantic moment), Shen Jiyang suggested they go play billiards.
"You guys go ahead, I have things to do with the kids." Dan Anwen picked up her phone and gestured for Gu Zhaodi to get up.
The girl was completely bewildered; how come she didn't know she had other things to do?
Hang Yan glanced at the expressions of the two people and understood everything.
Nine times out of ten, the third brother has some surprise for Zhao Zhao, why are these single dogs getting involved?
Shen Jiyang wanted to speak up and try to persuade Hang Yan, but Hang Yan stopped him.
Shen Jiyang frowned, his alluring peach blossom eyes looking at the owner of the hand that was pressed against his mouth.
"Can't you tell that they want some alone time?" Hang Yan said in a lowered voice.
Shen Jiyang raised an eyebrow, understanding the situation perfectly. "Let go of my hand first."
Hang Yan withdrew his hand with a look of disgust and wiped away the faint trace of drool on it with a tissue.
Stepping out of the private room, the girl looked up at the man, her voice filled with doubt, "Uncle Dan, is there something I've forgotten?"
The girl really thought she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it after thinking for a long time.
"No, I'm going to take you somewhere." Dan Anwen smiled. "You'll definitely like it."
Gu Zhaodi didn't ask any more questions and followed the man out of the restaurant.
The resort is surrounded by mountains, with fresh air. Thin gray clouds cannot obscure the twinkling stars. Looking up from the rooftop, you see a condensed version of the starry sky.
While it doesn't offer the same expansive view of the starry sky from a mountaintop, it's a concentrated essence, allowing you to capture the uniqueness of each star more quickly.
"A telescope?" Gu Zhaodi looked at the black telescope set up on the rooftop with a look of surprise.
Dan Anwen walked over and adjusted the astronomical telescope. The sound was deep and resonant, like a fine red wine, carrying the weight of history. "The stars here are beautiful."
He once caught a glimpse of rare stars in the sky while swimming at Wuyun Mountain Villa at night.
Since the child likes dreamy stars, let's take a closer look.
The girl was very excited to see what the stars would look like through the telescope.
The man skillfully manipulated the various parameters of the telescope. "Alright, come and take a look."
The girl eagerly approached the binoculars, her pupils contracting slightly at the sight before her.
The dazzling stars are reflected in the entire mirror, no longer appearing tiny to the naked eye. The shimmering light refracts on the stars, creating a sense of mystery.
"Uncle Dan, why are stars spheres?" The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
In the girl's limited understanding, she always thought that stars were irregular shapes and should look similar to five-pointed stars.
Dan Anwen seemed to be a knowledgeable scholar, and he gave the girl a lecture on the subject.
"Actually, stars refer to celestial bodies in the universe that are visible to the naked eye. The energy activity inside them causes them to take on irregular shapes, and the one you see is just about spherical."
The girl nodded knowingly, her expression slightly dazed, while the man exuded a gentle, scholarly aura.
"Am I being a little silly? Placing such ephemeral emotions on the stars?" the girl said, pursing her lips.
Dan Anwen stood to the side and chuckled softly. Even the dark night sky couldn't hide his doting gaze. "You're not stupid. There are always things to look forward to in this world, and your star is one of them."
Gu Zhaodi blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking at the man with her pure gaze, "Uncle Dan, is there anything you're looking forward to?"
Dan Anwen raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his dark, deep eyes. Something worth looking forward to?
It seems he has never thought about this question.
From childhood to adulthood, material life has been almost readily available to him and has never been a consideration for him; his spiritual support seems to have never appeared.
Getting into a prestigious university is an easy thing; going abroad to study is just because I'm tired of living in China and want a change of scenery.
Seeing the man shake his head without hesitation, a look of surprise flashed across the girl's small face. Uncle Dan really was a man without desires.
"Is there anyone or anything you particularly want to see or see?"
Dan Anwen sat lazily on a lounge chair on the rooftop, his slender fingers casually tapping the corner of the table.
The person you want to see?
It seems that during his last business trip, he missed the little girl quite a bit and was worried that she wouldn't know about his trip, so he took the time to send her a message to let her know.
Later, considering the time difference, he stopped chatting with the child, but he would occasionally think about whether she had eaten while eating.
Thinking of this, the man paused, his knuckles tapping lightly on the corner of the table. His expression was inscrutable and unfathomable.
His slightly hesitant voice rang out, "I don't think so."
This sentence didn't attract much attention from the girl; she automatically dismissed it as nothing.
For the rest of the time, the man leaned back in his chair, watching the girl observing the stars through a telescope with an inscrutable expression.
The moonlight poured down on the girl's fair and radiant face, which was free of makeup, as if veiling it with a mysterious veil.
......
As Gu Zhaodi finished getting ready to leave for her appointment, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten to inform Uncle Dan.
However, Uncle Dan had already gone to work, and the girl hesitated as she looked at her phone.
Finally, I realized that I just wanted to have lunch, and it didn't seem like I needed to report it to anyone.
The girl slung her small bag over her shoulder, took out her phone, and said goodbye to Guoguo, who was waiting at the door.
When she arrived at the entrance of Nan'an Middle School by subway, Gu Fang was already waiting for her at the school gate.
Gu Fang chose the location because he was a little worried that the girl might have financial difficulties because of this meal, as shops near the school are generally not too expensive.
He also wanted to see the girl's living environment.
When Gu Zhaodi emerged from the nearby subway station, Gu Fang's expectant face beamed with a wide smile.
The boy took two quick steps toward the girl, his clear voice full of laughter, "Gu Zhaodi."
Gu Zhaodi smiled broadly as well, "Gu Fang, which restaurant would you like to eat at?"
Gu Fang scratched his short hair helplessly. "I really don't know. Why don't you give me a recommendation? You're more familiar with this place."
He was so focused on seeing the girl that he didn't even consider where to eat; he was completely absorbed in a state of joy and excitement.
This question stumped the girl as well, as she had been eating at the school cafeteria for most of the first semester of her first year of high school.
During the second semester, because of a hand injury, I ate meals brought by Guan Xiang's servants. Now, I eat two meals a day at Jinshan Villa.
"How about we go for a walk first? I don't know what good food there is," the girl said, looking at the food court across the street.
"Okay." Gu Fang couldn't wait to spend more time with the girl, and this suggestion suited him perfectly.
Unaware that a red sports car had quietly stopped on the road, the man inside, wearing sunglasses, looked at the two people who were standing close by at the school gate and slowly took out his phone to take a picture.
After Gu Zhaodi and Gu Fang disappeared from the entrance of the food court, the red sports car stepped on the gas and sped away towards the business district.
Shen Jiyang took the elevator directly to the top floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he ran into Dan Anwen's secretary.
"Beautiful lady, where is your CEO Dan?" Shen Jiyang's amorous eyes sparkled, and a casual smile appeared on his lips.
The female secretary opposite her blushed instantly and stammered, "The president is... in his office."
After speaking, the female secretary looked shy and lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly at Shen Jiyang.
Shen Jiyang slightly curled his thin lips, his slender fingers twirling the sunglasses in his palm twice. "Thanks, beautiful."
The female secretary stared longingly at Shen Jiyang's departing figure, her face full of coquettish charm and her eyes brimming with affection; it was clear she was completely captivated by him.
"What are you doing standing here?" Another secretary walked over carrying documents.
The female secretary's infatuated gaze didn't waver for a moment. "President Shen is really too handsome, and very alluring."
"What, did President Shen just flirt with you?" another secretary asked knowingly.
"How did you know?" the female secretary asked, looking at her with suspicion.
"You've only been here a short time, so of course you don't know. Almost all the female secretaries in the secretarial office have done things like this before, so you should stop fantasizing about unrealistic things," another secretary said earnestly.
"ah?"
"President Shen has a wild life. Even the top hostesses at nightclubs might not be interested in him, let alone ordinary employees like us," another secretary patted the female secretary on the shoulder.
As secretaries for Dan Anwen, not only do they need to be outstanding in ability, but they also need to be outstanding in appearance, almost all of them being fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged.
After saying that, the female secretary was left standing there alone, looking dejected and disillusioned.
