Chapter 245: A Generation of Grand Secretaries (7)
Wen Wan left, reminding Liu Liu not to forget the jujube cake before she went. Now that the temporary threat to her life had been resolved, Wen Wan felt happy again and could continue to have fun.
Two or three days later, Gu Sui came over in person to invite Wen Wan to accompany him home. He even made a point of doing it after dinner and brought Wen Wan some fresh dates, saying, "I heard that Miss Chen wanted to eat dates, so these are all washed clean."
She took out another paper package. "This is jujube cake that Qingqing made. Miss Shen said she wanted to eat it, so I brought it over."
Wen Wan picked up a crisp date and took a bite. It was indeed sweet and crunchy. However, no matter how satisfied she was, she still said reservedly, "It's alright."
"I'm sorry to trouble Miss Shen with your help today. You don't need to do anything, just stand by my side."
Wen Wan nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you after I change my clothes."
Gu Sui left the room, and Gui Zhi helped Wen Wan choose clothes. Wen Wan looked at the original owner's huge wardrobe, pointed to a bright red one that looked very noble and luxurious, and said, "This one."
The original owner of this body was already exquisitely beautiful, and wearing this red dress made her face even more stunning, so much so that people dared not look directly at her. Gui Zhi was skilled and gave Wen Wan a beautiful hairstyle. According to Wen Wan's request, she also applied an exquisite and haughty makeup.
Finally, they draped a fur-trimmed cloak over Wen Wan, adorned with exquisite gold embroidery.
"Miss looks beautiful today." This was the most heartfelt compliment that Guizhi, who was not good with words, could utter.
Let's go.
Gu Sui, who was outside the door, was pondering what to do with the Gu family members later when he heard the door open and turned around. He was immediately struck by a splash of red. Although he quickly composed himself, he had to admit that it was very beautiful.
"Let's go," Wen Wan said, and Gu Sui nodded.
Wen Wan thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Gu Sui's sleeve. "Didn't you want your family to know that you're now the son-in-law of the Shen family? Being more affectionate should make them believe it more."
"Then we'll have to offend Miss Shen."
Gu Sui reached out and took Wen Wan's hand, and Wen Wan blushed involuntarily. "Let's go, anyway, it's to get annul the engagement as soon as possible."
On the other side, she screamed wildly at the system, "[Who can bear this? System, you said I've already completed several missions with you, so I shouldn't be a lifelong single anymore, right?]" Wen Wan suddenly became a little curious because the system said it had sealed away her memories from her previous worlds. After all, for someone who travels through various mission worlds to complete missions, experiencing all kinds of emotions every time and accumulating them over time would easily lead to a breakdown.
Wen Wan also thought it made sense.
She's been single since birth, so it's unlikely she'd experience so many worlds, essentially living her life multiple times. If she's still single, that wouldn't be appropriate, right?
System: [Yes, you've always been single.]
Wen Yan: "..."
Is that really the case?
"Now that the mission in this world is complete, can you find me a boyfriend? I don't have high requirements, just someone about as good-looking as Gu Sui, I don't really care about anything else."
System: [? ? ?] Still don't care? These male leads are all the chosen ones in the author's writing. Finding someone similar is harder than climbing to heaven. Why don't you just sleep with the male lead quickly and fulfill your wish?
That's impossible to say. [Mission accomplished, I promise you.]
"Swear it."
system:【……】
What's the point of making a vow if even if you're struck by lightning, it won't hit your system?
The two left the Shen family in a high-profile manner. An exquisite and noble carriage was parked at the gate. People passing by the Shen family saw Gu Sui helping Miss Shen into the carriage. The two were very intimate. It seems that the rumors from some time ago were not false. The Shen family really did not cancel the engagement. The two were really going to get married.
Unexpectedly, the Shen family can actually accept the current young master of the Gu family.
This young master Gu is quite lucky.
...
The Shen family was in the east, while the Gu family was in the west, the opposite of the Shen family. It took about an hour for the carriage to arrive. Gu Sui got off the carriage first, and then helped Wen Wan down.
"Guizhi, go knock on the door."
Guizhi quickly went over and knocked on the door. The doorman opened it and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Then, looking behind him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, you're back? Miss Shen?"
The doorman quickly opened the door, "Young master, please come in."
Shen Jiao chuckled, "You servant have no manners at all. Why are you still calling Gu Lang 'Young Master'? With Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu gone, Gu Lang is now the master of the Gu family. According to the rules, shouldn't you call him 'Master'?"
concierge:"!!!"
Gu Sui looked at Wen Wan, who gave him a reassuring look. Gu Sui lowered his head and chuckled softly.
The doorman quickly changed his address, "Greetings, sir; greetings, Miss Shen."
"Guizhi, bestow this reward."
Guizhi immediately took out a golden melon seed and handed it to the gatekeeper, who was both surprised and delighted. "Thank you, Miss Chen."
"Lead the way. I'm coming to stay at my future husband's house for a while, so I can get familiar with the place beforehand."
The doorman was somewhat surprised, as this was not in accordance with the rules. However, considering that Miss Shen and his young master were betrothed since childhood and would get married sooner or later, he didn't mind. So he quickly changed his address, "Madam, please come in."
Wen Yan: "..."
Why is this gatekeeper still just a gatekeeper? Judging by his expression, he'll probably rise to the position of head steward sooner or later.
"Gui Zhi Shang".
Guizhi gave the gatekeeper another gold melon seed, which strengthened his resolve to serve this lady well from now on, as she was a very generous person.
Once inside the Gu family residence, Wen Wan was led around by Gu Sui, looking left and right. As expected of the Prime Minister, the Gu family's estate was actually no smaller than the Shen family's. No wonder the Gu family members were so shameless in trying to seize it.
Some of the maids and servants were surprised to see the two of them, and the gatekeeper quickly said, "Master and his future wife have returned. Aren't you going to pay your respects?"
"Greetings, sir. Greetings, madam."
Wen Wan nodded, but didn't let Gui Zhi reward her with melon seeds. After all, there must be some thieves among this group of people, and she wasn't going to be a sucker.
We arrived at the main house.
When they arrived, there was a group of people in front of the house. Gu Sui said, "Miss Chen."
What did you call me?
“Ah Jiao, in front of me are my second uncle, his son, daughter-in-law, and concubine.”
"knew."
A beautifully dressed, expensive woman stepped forward. “Miss Shen, why didn’t you tell us you were coming to the Gu family in advance? We could have made preparations. We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to entertain you properly since you’re coming so suddenly. Asui, you too, why didn’t you inform us beforehand?”
Wen Wan frowned. This mean look... does she really think she's the master?
She quickly pulled out the scene from the palace intrigue drama she was watching, and immediately put on a cold face, "Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me? The Gu family is my future husband's family, and I am the future mistress of the Gu family. Why should I talk to someone like you who doesn't even know anything? Next time you talk to me, please introduce yourself first. I've never met you before, and we're not acquainted."
