Chapter 41 A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House
The next morning, it was dawn.
Gu Xia got up early on purpose. She covered her chest and quietly climbed out of her two-meter-long bed holding her loose nightgown.
The plan to earn Ning Anran’s favor has officially begun!
Having a very clear understanding and recognition of his own ability to cook, Gu Xia excluded the plan of making breakfast by himself, which looked wonderful but was actually not wonderful at all, from his own projects.
If I really cook for myself, Ning Anran might not be unconscious due to vomiting and diarrhea before she recovers from her cold.
But she can't cook, but she has a terrible ability to make money.
"Second Miss, even animals can't eat so much!"
Mother Li looked at the long list of dishes on her list and made a puzzled sound.
"It's not a waste for two of us to eat it, right?"
"Auntie Li, Ning Anran is sick now and needs to be well nourished."
"I can't let her stay so pale and thin, like Lin Daiyu."
Gu Xia felt that breakfast was not that much, mainly because she didn’t know what the sick Ning Anran wanted to eat, so she wanted to ask Li Ma to make more.
Gu Xia had already sent the extra red envelope to Li Ma's account.
After all, she had to pay for the unexpected increase in workload early in the morning.
"Second Miss, the eldest lady is still at home."
"Why don't you ask the young lady what she wants to eat?"
When Gu Xia heard Aunt Li talking about her sister, she realized belatedly that she was busy adding bricks and tiles to Ning Anran's heart and completely forgot about her own sister.
She was about to ask Li Ma to make two more dishes when she heard Li Ma laugh awkwardly.
"Oh, I just remembered that there's soup cooking in the kitchen. Second Miss, please stay with the eldest Miss. I'll go watch the fire for a while!"
After saying that, Li Ma disappeared from Gu Xia's sight as if she had greased her feet.
Doesn't she look that scary?
"Gu Xia, it's alright if Ning Anran is the only thing on your mind all day long."
"How come you've completely forgotten your own sister?"
Gu Xia hissed in pain as his ear was gently twisted. Turning around, he saw Gu Lindong's forced smile.
"Be gentle...it hurts...it hurts..."
"Sister, I was just about to say you were here..."
Although she may not be good at other things, she is very good at acting like a spoiled child and begging for mercy. Anyone who comes after her will be half broken.
"Just thought about it? I guess you haven't thought about me as your sister from the beginning to the end."
Seeing that her ears were red, Gu Lindong didn't want to twist it any harder, but just pretended to scare this heartless person.
"What do you mean Ning Anran is sick?"
Knowing that her sister felt sorry for her and held back, Gu Xia lowered her head and obediently told her everything that happened last night.
"Sister, Ning Anran caught a cold because of me getting caught in the rain. Isn't it human nature for me to be nice to her?"
This statement would make sense no matter who said it, but it didn't make sense at all when it came from her heartless sister.
"I don't know you yet?"
"I just caught a cold, and you're hiding your mistress in a golden house?"
"Why, you don't want me to go to work?"
Gu Xia felt guilty after his little thoughts were completely exposed. He turned his head away and didn't look at Gu Lindong's eyes that were like a mirror.
So what if he has a beautiful girl in his house?
It’s not like she has no money!
She can support Ning Anran for the rest of her life!
Besides, Ning Anran’s current physical condition is really not suitable for going to work, so it would be better for her to lie in bed and rest.
"Sister, Ning Anran is a newcomer in the team and it's inevitable that she will be excluded if she asks for leave. Remember to tell the people in the team."
This is so clever.
She was using her official power to support Ning Anran. How come she didn't know that her sister was so smart after she came to her senses?
"Okay, where are your people? I'll keep an eye on them for you."
"But Xia Xia, you have to know that if one day you can no longer control Ning Anran, you should not force it."
Gu Lindong was giving Gu Xia a heads-up in advance. She had long known that Ning Anran's true identity was most likely Wen Wanbai's biological daughter, the eldest daughter of Yuanye Group.
What does this mean?
Could it be that her sister had also awakened like herself? Did she know Ning Anran's true identity? Did she know that Ning Anran would leave this place?
As expected, she was her good sister. Even after she woke up, she was reluctant to hang herself on the beam with a rope and beat herself severely.
Gu Xia felt that his life was ruined because of the stupid things he did before he awakened!
But fortunately, she still has a chance to start over.
"Sister, I never thought about controlling Ning Anran's life."
"I just think she's too tired and thinks she should rest for a while today."
Gu Lindong saw that Gu Xia was speaking seriously, with determination in his eyes, which was very different from the child who never grew up.
She chuckled, not knowing whether Gu Xia's transformation was just a spur of the moment, or whether he would return to his old domineering and overbearing self in a couple of days.
"Okay, Xia Xia, just be clear in your mind."
…
My throat is so dry it's almost smoking.
Ning Anran lay on the bed, touching her hot forehead and frowning slightly.
It seems that I still have a fever.
When did her health become so bad? Wasn't it just a little rain and wind last night that made her so weak?
"Ning Anran, do you want some porridge?"
"Auntie just cooked it."
A soft voice was heard, and Gu Xia came over with a small white porcelain bowl in her hand. She pinched the spoon with her fingers and scooped a small spoonful of porridge.
"The doctor came to see you this morning and prescribed some medicine. I saw you were asleep so I didn't disturb you."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gu Xia handed over the porridge in the spoon.
Ning Anran did not refuse Gu Xia's kindness. She opened her mouth and swallowed the porridge.
She still felt dizzy after washing up, and glanced at the vacation generously approved by her team leader on the other end of the phone.
Only then did Ning Anran think of going back to bed and taking a nap.
There was a note on the bedside that Gu Xia had left when she got up. It read: "I'm going to go cook with Aunt Li first. Ning Anran, if you're not feeling well, remember to lie down on the bed and sleep well. If you don't behave, I'll be very angry with you!"
There was also a ferocious tiger drawn at the end of the note, but apart from the word "king" on its head, it looked nothing like a cute cat.
"The doctor said that I can only take medicine after eating."
"How is it? Does the porridge taste good?"
Although she said she was cooking with Li Ma, Gu Xia was just helping out and also helping out with the battle record.
"Can."
Ning Anran answered Gu Xia in a hoarse voice, her chest rising and falling slightly. Ning Anran didn't know if it was because of her illness or Gu Xia's gentle gesture towards her that caused her to feel this way.
"Congratulations, host! The heroine's favorability score is +5!"
"5% of the favorability value for the strategy is 50 points. Please accept it graciously~"
Looking at Ning Anran's gradually rising pink progress bar, Gu Xia felt that his life was full of motivation.
Sister! Mom! Dad!
I will never let your family business fall into my hands!
I! Want! To! Be! A rich second generation for life!
