A woman like Yuan Xing is definitely not as simple and innocent as she appears on the surface.
They know what they want, so when the opportunity arises, they will immediately reach out and grab it tightly, then desperately climb upwards.
When I first saw the photo, I fell in love with it at first sight.
The boy in the photo—well, Minister Gu was only in his early twenties at the time, much younger than he is now—wouldn't be a problem to call him a boy.
The boy was wearing a crisp military uniform and saluting the national flag. He was tall and slender. What impressed Yuan Xing the most was the watch on the boy's wrist, which was set with diamonds.
Later, Yuan Xing learned in private that the price of that watch was something an ordinary family could never earn in a lifetime, not to mention the value of the diamonds on it.
Later, Xia Hong didn't realize that many of the photos she had lost were actually taken by her roommate.
However, even though Yuan Xing returned to China years ago, the difference in their status meant that the two had absolutely no interaction.
So many years have passed, and Yuan Xing had almost given up completely. Who knew that just a few days ago, when the store was preparing for renovations, he went out to negotiate prices with the renovation workers and coincidentally got scratched by Gu Ziling's car.
When Yuan Xing saw the real person, he thought he was dreaming.
This isn't the first time I've had this dream; I've lost count.
Then, naturally, we met again—yes, this time.
However, it seems even fate is against it.
Surprisingly, this is where two people who clearly had a past relationship but then broke up met.
Naturally, Yuan Xing will no longer be involved in anything, in the past, present, or future.
cough...
I don't know whether to sympathize with them or not.
Minister Gu's expression quickly returned to normal, and he looked at Yuan Xing, who was pleading for help.
"Miss Yuan, please call me by my name," she said calmly.
puff!
Upon hearing this, Yingying and Editor-in-Chief Xia couldn't help but burst into laughter.
So, all of this was just wishful thinking on the part of a certain woman?
However, if Minister Gu really takes a liking to such a woman, then one has to question his ability to judge people.
Obviously, someone who can serve as a minister must have a decent eye for people, even if it's not great. Someone like Yuan Xing is only good at dealing with some foolish women; she's not even worth considering for Minister Gu.
Having spent years in the political arena, he has witnessed far more storms than most people can imagine.
Xia Hong's expression softened noticeably after Gu Ziling spoke up. Just because others didn't see it doesn't mean Yingying didn't notice.
Tsk tsk tsk, something's up!
It seems I need to ask them properly.
It's also appropriate to bring up the topic with my second aunt, like the betrothal gifts and such...
Yingying's teasing was not hidden, and Xia Hong naturally noticed it. She was stunned for a moment, and then tried her best to calm down, but there was only one word to describe it—the more she explained, the worse it got!
It would be better to do nothing and just openly admit it.
Faced with Yingying's unmistakable teasing, Xia Hong finally couldn't hold back and her face turned an unnatural red. Her throat also felt strangely dry.
"Cough, cough..."
"Have you caught a cold?"
Forehead?
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
This was the first time Xia Hong had ever been so formal with a man in front of her today, her hands clasped tightly where no one could see.
