Gu Xinyi looked sweet as she spoke, and then generously said to Chen Shuning, "I got you a little of each kind. Try them and tell me which one you like, and I'll ask Brother Hongyuan to buy more."
Looking at the label on the pastry package, he said with a smile, "You're not being polite. It's only because your Gao Hongyuan spoils you that you know how hard it is to buy pastries like this. Last time, Brother He and I queued for ages to buy just two small boxes of pastries from this shop."
Not only do they require tickets for their pastries, but they also have limited quantities. With so many pastries, your brother Gao doesn't know how long he'll have to wait in line.
Gu Xinyi looked smug as she spoke, grinning and showing her white teeth, "Hehe, next time you go to Haishi and want to eat this pastry shop, you can mention Brother Hongyuan's name. Brother Hongyuan's friend is the young owner of this shop. These are all given to you by Brother Hongyuan's friend, so you don't need to queue."
Hearing Gu Xinyi say this, Chen Shuning also remembered that Gao Hongyuan seemed to have mentioned this friend of Gao Hongyuan in the original book. He had helped Gao Hongyuan a lot when Gao Hongyuan was settling his family. He was a good person with good character.
However, he was later discovered by the Tian family to have secretly helped Gao Hongyuan move his family members, which led to retaliation from the Tian family and ultimately resulted in the destruction of his family and his death.
Because Gao Hongyuan was in Heilongjiang Province at the time, by the time he received the news, his friend had already tragically died. Of the dozen or so family members, only his mentally unstable younger sister remained, who had been cared for by Gao Hongyuan and the original female protagonist Yang Wanqiu.
Later, after Gao Hongyuan had gained more power, he specifically investigated what happened back then and discovered that the reason his friend's family was persecuted was because they were retaliated against by the Tian family for helping him rescue Sister Gao's family.
Later, although Gao Hongyuan took swift and decisive revenge on the Tian family, his friend's family could never return.
Gao Hongyuan felt guilty about this incident for the rest of his life, and even on his deathbed, he remembered his friend's kindness from back then.
But now, not to mention that many plot points in the original book have been changed, even if they hadn't been changed, I don't know how to remind Gao Hongyuan.
But when she read the book, the male protagonist's friend was the source of her deepest regret. Now that person is right beside her, a real person with flesh and blood, Chen Shuning is even more unwilling to watch that honest and law-abiding family die unjustly.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuning couldn't help but add, "Xinyi, although I don't know what Brother Gao did when he went back to Haishi this time, judging from Tian Mi's personality, I think she won't let Brother Gao off easy."
But now that Brother Gao has returned safely, will Tian Mi, or even the Tian family, hold a grudge and make things difficult for Brother Gao's friends? Of course, I'm just worrying unnecessarily; you can take it with a grain of salt.
Reminded by Chen Shuning, Gu Xinyi's heart skipped a beat. She quickly waved to Chen Shuning and ran back.
Chen Shuning didn't know, but she did know, what Gao Hongyuan had gone back to Haishi for this time.
It was Tian Mi and the Tian family who plotted to frame Sister Gao, forcing Gao Hongyuan to return. Although she was happy that Gao Hongyuan had returned safely, she didn't believe there was no danger involved.
Shu Ning is right. Given Tian Mi's personality, she was willing to frame Gao Hongyuan's family if he didn't do what she wanted, even though he loved her so much. So, she would probably be just as ruthless towards Gao's friends, who are completely unrelated to her.
What's more, it was the person who ruined her plans. The more she thought about it, the more frightened Gu Xinyi became. She was so anxious that she didn't even knock before opening the door to Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi's room and barging in.
All Chen Shuning could do was offer a reminder; whether or not to say it, and how to say it, was Gu Xinyi's business, and she didn't need to concern herself with it.
Carrying the snacks that Gu Xinyi had brought, Chen Shuning turned around and went back to her room.
This time, without being disturbed by anyone, Chen Shuning deftly entered the room and then flashed into the space.
Chen Shuning hadn't eaten much for dinner that night, and feeling hungry, she went straight into the kitchen and quickly cooked herself a bowl of fragrant snail rice noodles, along with a fruit salad and a glass of watermelon juice.
After finishing, she carried the food to the home theater, ready to enjoy a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Choosing a captivating TV series she'd never watched before, Chen Shuning slurped up her snail rice noodles with relish while keeping her eyes glued to the screen. This carefree and pleasant lifestyle filled her with immense satisfaction.
Because the TV series was so captivating, Chen Shuning stayed up late watching it and overslept the next day.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, and a crisp knock on the door broke the silence.
The sleepy Chen Shuning was jolted awake by the all-too-familiar voice.
She didn't even have time to put on any clothes; she rushed to the door in her thin pajamas and eagerly opened it.
When Chen Shuning saw the person she had been longing for day and night standing in front of her, she made no attempt to hide her excitement and joy, and threw herself into He Chaoyang's warm and generous embrace.
The sudden action caught He Chaoyang off guard. He loosened his grip, and all the items he was holding fell to the ground.
However, at this moment, he had no mind to care about anything else; his eyes and heart were only focused on the person in his arms.
When He Chaoyang realized that Chen Shuning was only wearing a thin nightgown, his heart clenched. He quickly walked into the room and gently and carefully wrapped her in the warm blankets. Then, he frowned and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "It's so cold. You went out wearing so little. What if you catch a cold?" He Chaoyang's expression was serious, but his words were full of concern and worry.
