"Lili, Lili, are you home?"
Upon hearing it, Gu Lili recognized Han Mingyue's voice.
I wonder what brings him here today.
"Huanhuan, you stay and eat with Lord Lin and your sister Yaoyao. I'll go out and see what's going on."
Gu Lili had almost finished eating, so she told Lord Lin and went out to see what was going on.
As soon as Gu Lili stepped out of the main room, she saw Chang'an already "welcoming" Han Mingyue.
Although Gu Lili didn't intend to be with him for the time being after their heart-to-heart talk that day, he also didn't want Han Mingyue to get close to Gu Lili.
Seeing Chang'an's expression, Gu Lili didn't feel angry; instead, she felt a little sweet.
When Han Mingyue saw Gu Lili come out, she wanted to talk to Gu Lili by going past Chang'an, but Chang'an cleverly stopped her.
"Young Master Han, we have distinguished guests at home right now. If you have something to do, please come back later!" Chang'an said impatiently.
Han Mingyue keeps running to the Gu family every few days, it's really annoying.
Han Mingyue glanced at Chang'an with displeasure and said, "I have important business to discuss with Lili, which is to make money. We have important guests at home, so let's talk by the stream!"
snort!
As long as it's about making money, Gu Lili will definitely talk to me about it.
As expected, upon hearing Han Mingyue's words, Gu Lili slowly spoke up, "Mingyue, is there something important? Shall we go outside and talk?"
Hearing what Gu Lili said, Han Mingyue walked confidently past Chang'an and went straight to Gu Lili.
"Lili, how are we going!" Han Mingyue said, glancing smugly at Chang'an.
Chang'an's fists were clenched so tightly they cracked. If it weren't for Gu Lili's sake, he would have really wanted to beat Han Mingyue up.
Gu Lili watched the two of them making faces and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
These two are even more childish than Gu Yanyu, that little brat.
Han Mingyue didn't bring Yuanbao with her today, so Gu Lili naturally wouldn't go out alone with him.
Things that should be avoided must still be avoided, after all, public opinion can be a powerful force.
besides......
Gu Lili turned her head to look at Chang'an, whose face was full of unhappiness, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Chenxi, have you finished eating? Come with me for a walk outside!" Gu Lili called out towards the kitchen.
Looking at Chang'an again, his originally gloomy face instantly crumbled when he heard Gu Lili call out Gu Chenxi's name, and his previous displeasure vanished.
Gu Chenxi had already finished eating and was just about to clean up the dishes.
Hearing Gu Lili call her, she quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, wiped the grease off her hands, and then walked outside.
Li Tiansheng naturally put the bowls and chopsticks that Gu Chenxi had half-collected back into the basin, which surprised Li Ershu.
He knew his younger brother was hardworking, but when it came to washing dishes, he would sneak away and cheat.
I never expected that he would take the initiative to do this at Gu Lili's house.
The sun really did rise in the west.
However, Li Ershu didn't think much of it, simply assuming that his younger brother had grown up.
Gu Chenxi came out, and Gu Lili led Gu Chenxi and Han Mingyue towards the stream.
"Mingyue, are you here to talk to me about soap?" Gu Lili asked first.
The sun was still blazing, and to be honest, Gu Lili didn't want to take a walk by the stream like this.
You should wait until after dinner to take a walk; that's when it's cool and comfortable.
Han Mingyue stopped and nodded, saying, "Lili, you're really smart. I really do want to talk to you about the soap."
The soaps that were recently sold extremely well in the Han family's shop, so Han Changlin wrote a letter specifically asking Han Mingyue to have Gu Lili order some more.
“My brother is busy with something and can’t get away, so he specifically asked me to come to you to order another thousand bars of soap,” Han Mingyue continued.
Actually, it wasn't that Han Changlin couldn't leave, and the place where Han Changlin was was only half a day's journey from Donghai Town. It was because Han Mingyue specifically instructed that Han Changlin didn't need to come in person.
This way, he would have more opportunities to show off in front of Gu Lili.
Gu Lili nodded after hearing this, "I can make about a thousand bars of soap today, but it will take a month to complete. I don't know if you can wait."
Soap cannot be made as quickly as maltose, which can be made simply by waiting for the wheat to sprout.
The soap needs to be saponified in a cool, dark place for a month before it can be used.
Gu Lili didn't plan to tell Han Mingyue about her plans to go to Jiangdu. They were just business partners, so there was no need to talk about it.
Han Mingyue nodded. "Of course, we have to be able to wait."
Only Gu Lili's family has this soap, and no matter how long it takes, we'll definitely have to wait for it.
With the matter settled, Gu Lili took Gu Chenxi and prepared to return home.
Gu Lili kept muttering to herself, "Han Mingyue, why does she need to ask me to meet her by the stream for such a small thing?"
They could have explained it all in a few words at the door, but they insisted on inviting me to this stream to sunbathe.
"Now that we've finished talking, I'll head back," Gu Lili said with a faint smile.
As he spoke, he prepared to leave.
Han Mingyue hesitated, but seeing Gu Lili about to turn and leave, she finally mustered up the courage to call Gu Lili back.
"Lili, I found a pearl flower a few days ago. I feel it would suit you perfectly. Do you like it?" Han Mingyue said, taking out the pearl flower from her bosom.
Gu Lili turned around and saw that the beaded flower in Han Mingyue's hand was made of the finest pearls, emitting a faint halo in the sunlight, clearly indicating its high value.
"Beep! Pearl hairpin, three hundred and fifty taels!"
The system's mechanical voice rang in Gu Lili's mind, just as she had expected.
Han Mingyue was filled with anticipation, hoping that Gu Lili would accept it.
This was specially selected by Han Mingyue when she went to Mingyue Town a few days ago.
Today's business talk with Gu Lili was a pretense; giving her a gift was truly out of the ordinary.
Gu Lili looked at the gift in Han Mingyue's hand, but hesitated to reach out and take it.
Previously, Gu Lili thought she had made herself clear enough, but she didn't expect Han Mingyue to still not give up.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Lili said, "Mingyue, I only consider you a good friend, and I have no romantic feelings for you. You should keep this beautiful hairpin and give it to the girl you like in the future."
Last time, Gu Lili subtly mentioned it to Han Mingyue, and she thought he would understand.
However, the refusal was clearly not obvious enough.
Gu Lili has always been clear about her likes and dislikes and did not want an ambiguous relationship with Han Mingyue.
Or rather, they didn't want Han Mingyue to feel that she had a chance.
She didn't want to take advantage of Han Mingyue.
This is why Gu Lili is preparing to find some more business partners to cooperate with. She doesn't want to keep relying on the Han family's connections to make money just because Han Mingyue likes her.
