Let her be arrogant

Chapter 40 Dinner
  "This is an apartment I bought two years ago and was just renovated a year ago."

Gu Huairuo took out the key, opened the door, took out a pair of women's slippers at the entrance and placed them on the ground.

"I took the time to buy it on my way home from get off work yesterday."

Sheng Lanqing changed her slippers and curiously walked into the house to look around. She saw warm-toned wooden furniture.

There are several soft pillows on the sofa, which looks very comfortable.

Gentle ironing is Gu Huairuo's consistent style.

"Would you like this arrangement?"

Gu Huairuo put on her apron, put down the dishes in the kitchen, took a jug of juice from the refrigerator, and poured it for Sheng Lanqing.

"Sit down and rest first."

He smiled and stopped her from stepping forward to help, and said softly: "You are already very tired."

Sheng Lanqing nodded obediently and rolled his eyes: "It's very beautiful. Brother Huairuo just wants to live comfortably."

She had never liked such a bright and brisk style, and it didn't suit her mood at all.

But there was no need to say it out loud and let Gu Huairuo down.

Two hours later, Gu Huairuo came over with four dishes and one soup.

"Brother Huairuo, why did you cook so much? There are only two of us, we can't finish it."

Sheng Lanqing hurried over to help, added rice and placed it on the beige lace table mat that had been laid out long ago.

“Corn pork rib soup, stir-fried beef with asparagus, stir-fried lotus pond, fish with tomato, and steamed egg with shrimp...”

Sheng Lanqing nodded with chopsticks and pretended to be amazed: "Wow, you can actually work part-time as a chef in a five-star hotel!"

Gu Huairuo was silent for a moment, rarely showing a smile, and just used serving chopsticks to pick up the food for her.

The fresh shrimps, green lettuce slices, and the shiny rice form a sharp contrast, which makes you appetite at the first sight.

Gu Huairuo put down his chopsticks and watched Sheng Lanqing eat less than half a bowl of rice before he said solemnly: "Lanqing, I saw your interview record was played on TV. Regarding your criteria for choosing a mate..."

Sheng Lanqing suddenly lost the taste of eating and withdrew his hand to pick up the food.

She heard An Nuan talk about the live interview and felt nothing in her heart.

An Nuan, on the other hand, clenched her fists in anger and kept scolding Sunward Entertainment for making dirty money and there would be retribution.

She even registered on Weibo and fought for 300 rounds with those who maliciously cursed her.

Nowadays, most women are independent, and their ideas are also advancing with the times. It is not all bad comments, but there are also little angels who think she is cute.

Just being mentioned this matter by someone familiar to her made Sheng Lanqing still feel a little bit ashamed and embarrassed.

"Brother Huairuo, listen to my explanation."

Sheng Lanqing took a deep breath and continued: "Don't take that to heart, I just said it casually. Especially, don't mention it to Teacher Gu again."

No matter how open he is, he can't stand being annoyed by her again and again.

In particular, Mrs. Gu was a typical good wife and mother of that era, and she and Mr. Gu were a perfect match.

Gu Huairuo thought he was wrong. He frowned slightly and said with a smile: "I know. If he sees it by chance, I will say it was someone else's malicious editing. This will not affect your image in his mind." Image.”

Image doesn't matter at all.

Originally, she was not a good child in the eyes of her elders.

Sheng Lanqing poked the rice out of boredom and ate the last bit.

When he raised his eyes, he saw an untouched grain of rice in Gu Huairuo's bowl.

She was a little surprised and joked casually, "Brother Huairuo, if you don't eat like this, I will misunderstand that you have poisoned the food."

"Lan Qing, I have something to say to you, so I'm a little nervous."

Gu Huairuo looked at her seriously and continued: "You mentioned today that you like a beautiful and virtuous husband. I think I am quite suitable."

Sheng Lanqing looked at him in surprise, if it weren't for Gu Huairuo's overly serious expression.

She almost thought he was just joking.

Gu Huairuo, who has always upheld the virtue of humility, praised himself like this for the first time.

Such a rare scene should be recorded and sent to Teacher Gu for viewing. "Brother Huairuo is very suitable. I must have had many girls pursuing you when I was studying abroad, right?"

Sheng Lanqing smiled, her eyes clear and generous, without any sense of shyness.

Gu Huairuo's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still decided to speak out.

"Then I want to pursue you, is that okay? Lan Qing."

Out of gratitude to Teacher Gu, Sheng Lanqing did not simply reject uninterested suitors as she had done in the past.

She didn't want to have nowhere to go during the Chinese New Year.

Even there, it's not her home.

"Brother Huairuo, we are too familiar with each other."

Sheng Lanqing said as tactfully as possible: "You are a psychology major. You should know that it is difficult for love to happen between two people who are too familiar."

Gu Huairuo lowered his eyes, barely maintained his gentle expression, and said softly: "Lan Qing, I just want to change my identity. Can't I become your suitor?"

Liking is one-sided, but it can easily cause trouble to the person who doesn't feel the same.

If you persist, it will actually be rude and it will turn into an entanglement.

But she was in no position to refuse.

"can."

Sheng Lanqing was as calm as water, suppressing the restlessness that slowly overflowed from her heart.

"As long as you don't mind, I probably won't like you for a long time."

She then added: "The kind of love between men and women. The simple care of Huairuo is still very lovable, the neighbor's child."

"Why the neighbor's house?"

Gu Huairuo tasted her words but didn't understand the deep meaning.

Sheng Lanqing stood up and cleared the plates on the table with him.

It wasn't until she put the used dishes in the dishwasher that she said with a smile: "For other people's children, it's hard not to envy your gentle and talented academic brother, who comes from a wealthy family."

"There's nothing to envy."

Seeing her stunned, Gu Huairuo said without any doubt: "Everything I have can be shared with you, including my family."

"Thank you."

She thanked him politely, picked up her bag from the sofa, picked up her coat and put it on, changed her shoes at the entrance, and smiled at him easily.

"Brother Huairuo, thank you. There is no need to send me off. You are very tired today, so take a good rest first."

Sheng Lanqing suddenly discovered the difference between Gu Huairuo and Xi Yu.

If it were Xi Yu, she would definitely trouble him without any courtesy and make sure that he sends her home.

Even if he was busy with work, she would stab him unreasonably and deliberately make him angry.

It turns out that she went too far.

"mom."

After Sheng Lanqing left, Gu Huairuo couldn't restrain his excitement and called home.

"I have something very important to tell you."

"What's the matter, you kid?"

Wu Lan laughed and cursed, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "It's not you over there, did something go wrong? I told you not to go to other places, it's better to be at home, but you just didn't listen..."

"Nothing, it's just that I have a girl I like."

Gu Huairuo continued: "She is Sheng Lanqing. I like her very much and I am currently pursuing her. You will support me, right?"

On the other side of the phone, there was suddenly a long silence, followed by a rustling sound.

Teacher Gu answered the phone and sighed: "Hey, don't you understand why I insisted that you come back after studying abroad for your Ph.D.?"
