CH 118

After Gu Mian heard that, she was a bit confused.

She thought that falling in love needed deep learning. And she was obviously still a novice who just got started.

Gu Guoan also had a loud voice. She didn’t use the speakerphone and his voice reverberated in the box, so Lou Che heard everything.

Gu Mian bit her lips, thinking about how to explain.

She didn’t like to lie and liked to talk about things straightforwardly, but after all, her EQ was also in the category of normal people. Knowing the truth was sometimes hurtful, so she wondered how to explain.

Lou Che didn’t wait for Gu Mian’s explanation, because he knew the truth would be very troublesome. He sighed and flicked his fingers across Gu Mian’s lips, “I didn’t perform my duties as a boyfriend before, but I won’t do that anymore.”

He did not do well before and it was normal for her to dislike him.

In Lou Che’s view, Gu Mian would like him sooner or later.

Gu Mian hummed softly.

Lou Che naturally did not ignore the ‘Cheng Zhi’ mentioned by Gu Guoan. And Gu Guoan also mentioned that Cheng Zhi was a bit interested in Gu Mian.

Sure enough, his previous hunch was correct and Cheng Zhi was a potentially formidable opponent.

Cheng Zhi was not only a rich second-generation, but his own ability was not bad. His business was flourishing.

He was said to be very popular among the ladies in Hong Kong.

But just now, Gu Mian honestly admitted his existence in front of Gu Guoan, which was enough to make Lou Che happy.

The dishes they just ordered finally came one after another.

Gu Mian was busy eating vegetables and didn’t have the thought of talking for a while.

When she lowered her head to eat, there was an extra peeled shrimp in the bowl and the soup was dripping on it. It was obviously put by Lou Che in the soup.

“The fried shrimp here tastes good. You should try it.”

Gu Mian picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite. The shrimp was tender and fragrant. It tasted good.

After she finished one shrimp, the second peeled shrimp came again.

Gu Mian felt that she was being rude. So she picked a fish with chopsticks and put it in Lou Che’s bowl, “You like fish, eat more.”

Lou Che was a little surprised. He smiled with sparkling peach blossom eyes, “Okay.”

He asked about Gu Mian’s next schedule.

Gu Mian took a sip of the sour plum soup and replied, “The day after tomorrow, I will fly to the capital to be a judge of ‘10 Girls out of 100’.”

Lou Che repeated the name of the show, then said, “Okay.”

Gu Mian arrived home. She received a WeChat message from Cheng Zhi.

“I had the honor to have dinner with your father at noon today, but unfortunately you were not there.”

The person might not be really interested in her, but she must clarify her position.

She moved her fingers and sent a WeChat message, “I had dinner with my boyfriend at noon, so I couldn’t come.”

Cheng Zhi’s reply came a little late, “Really? That’s a shame.” 

What? That they failed to have dinner together, or that she had a boyfriend?

Gu Mian did not reply.

Anyway, she already had a boyfriend. Although she would break up sooner or later, at least now she was not a single dog. So she refused anymore contact.

–

Lou Che had another interview at night. So after a good meal with Gu Mian, he got into the car and rushed to another city.

Lou Ziyu smiled, “How was the lunch experience with your girlfriend?”

Lou Che thought of her soft lips and the sweet smell that belonged to Gu Mian. He touched his lips and said with a smile, “The experience was very good.”

“Hey, your face is rippling, what’s wrong with you?”

Lou Che glanced at him, “Are you so idle? If you are idle, why don’t you do something for me?”

Lou Ziyu snorted, “Cousin, let me tell you that you are just a superstar, not a wicked capitalist. You can’t always exploit me like this.”

Lou Che’s peachy eyes narrowed slightly. His tone turned serious, “It’s a serious business.”

Lou Ziyu was distracted by that, “Oh? What business? I’ll listen carefully.”

“Two things, one, I want you to investigate Cheng Zhi and two, I want to be a judge of ‘10 Girls out of 100’.”

Lou Ziyu frowned, “You got all the difficult and tricky requirements. It is not very easy investigating Cheng Zhi. He is from Hong Kong, why do you want his information?”

Lou Che said lightly, “He is trying to make advances to my partner.”

Lou Ziyu was gloating, “Hahahaha, does he fancy sister-in-law too? I thought so before. After all, will people like him post that kind of Weibo that says ‘Greet the eldest lady’, how unusual.”

Lou Che squeezed his eyebrows, “There are so many ladies in Hong Kong. He just wants to fancy my partner. Help me pay attention to him when he is in the mainland.”

Such opponents couldn’t be tolerated or underestimated.

Lou Ziyu made an “okay” gesture and said readily, “No problem. I won’t give him the opportunity to contact my sister-in-law alone.”

He then touched his chin, “As for the second thing, I suggest you don’t participate.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to hide your eyes and small movements then. Don’t look at me like that. I really think so. Do you think you can hide it?”

If Lou Che was able to hide before and pretend to be just ordinary friends with Gu Mian in front of the public, then after the two kissed, he didn’t have much confidence in him. Lou Che was promoted to a real boyfriend.
