After hanging up the phone, Gu Nanzhi immediately turned around and went upstairs, packed himself up, and then went to the appointment.

She thought that Yan Xi would complain and denounce the shameful behavior of the dog man and woman.

But when she arrived at the café, the man gently handed over a bouquet of flowers.

"What do you mean, Mr. Yan? I didn't have a present. ”

Gu Nanzhi looked at the rose in Yan Xi's hand, and the corners of his lips hooked up a shallow smile, but he didn't mean to reach out to take it.

"I just passed by the flower shop, and I saw that the color of this flower is very good, and I bought it easily, and I don't mean anything else."

Yan Xi saw the wariness and rejection in Gu Nanzhi's eyes, but he still smiled gently, and even when he explained, he had a calm tone, and he couldn't hear the embarrassment at all.

"That's good, but doesn't Mr. Yan think it's more appropriate to send Miss Wen? She's your girlfriend after all. ”

Gu Nanzhi heard the sincerity from Yan Xi's words, and was slightly touched, but he still did not waver.

Hearing this, a trace of loss suddenly flashed in Yan Xi's eyes full of gentle smiles: "Miss Gu is right, but Xiao Nian likes roses, not roses." ”

The loss in Yan Xi's eyes became heavier and heavier, and even there was a hint of embarrassment in Yun Qing's breezy tone.

Gu Nanzhi didn't expect Yan Xi to say this, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to be silent in embarrassment.

"If Miss Gu doesn't like it, forget it, don't force it."

Yan Xi saw that Gu Nanzhi didn't speak, and he didn't want to continue to force her, so he took back the rose flower he was holding.

It's just that the disappointment in his eyes is getting heavier and heavier, and he looks pitiful.

"Forget it on me, I actually like roses."

Seeing that Yan Xi's originally gentle and smiling eyes were covered inch by inch by disappointment, Gu Nanzhi softened his heart a little and struggled, and finally stood on tiptoe and took the flower in his hand.

"Miss Gu, you are such a kind person."

Yan Xi watched Gu Nanzhi put the rose flower on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, and a smile instantly appeared in his mind, and he gently pushed his rimless glasses, praising her physically.

Gu Nanzhi listened to his compliment, but his brows furrowed inadvertently.

I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that Yan Xi's words seem to have a deep meaning.

"Sometimes kindness doesn't work, and it may even push you into the abyss."

After a short period of distraction, Gu Nanzhi was still not happy because of Yan Xi's praise, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

When she married into the Wen family with Rong Sang, she was worried that her mother would be looked down upon for carrying her own oil bottle, so she was always cautious and tried her best to endure it.

But in exchange for Wen Nian's intensified bullying and insults.

For this, she even lost her innocence and dreams.

Now that I think about it, the original sin of all this is nothing more than my own soft-hearted kindness.

If she hadn't followed Rong Sang into the Wen family at the beginning, when Wen Nian bullied her and framed her, she didn't just grit her teeth and endure it, but fought back.

She is only afraid that her life will be much better now, even if because of Gu Xingxing's illness, she cannot have as much food and clothing as before.

At least she can dance and pursue her dreams on stage.

There is no need to be treated as a plaything by someone, unscrupulously played and humiliated, and live without dignity.

"Okay, the coffee is bitter enough, if Miss Gu is sad, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it."

probably saw the sadness in Gu Nanzhi's eyes, and wanted to coax her to be happy, although the usually gentle but serious Yanxi actually said witty things.

Gu Nanzhi was dragged back to his senses by the smile in his voice, and he also squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Yan really looks very different from usual today. ”

Gu Nanzhi said and took a sip of coffee, his eyes were a little playful.

"Probably Miss Gu used to see me because of work, so she thought I didn't smile, in fact, I am a very out-of-the-box person, and I used to be disliked by my family and not serious."

Probably hearing the deep meaning of Gu Nanzhi's words, Yan Xi explained with a smile, but when he mentioned "family", the smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows suddenly became a trace of bitterness.

It's as if some painful memories have been inadvertently touched.

Although the bitterness in her eyes was fleeting, it was still captured by Gu Nanzhi: "Speaking of which, I don't know what Mr. Yan's family does, but since I can get into Miss Wen's eyes, I guess it must be either rich or expensive." ”

For some reason, Gu Nanzhi felt that Yan Xi's reaction just now was strange, not like the look he usually should have.

In addition, she was really curious about what kind of identity could make Wen Nian, who wanted to be the young grandmother of the Qin family, hover between Qin Li and him.

So I couldn't help but ask.

But Yanxi just smiled and shook her head: "Miss Gu said that it was funny, our family is just an ordinary family with a small family, how can it be as great as you said." ”

Yan Xi picked up the coffee cup and brought it to his mouth as he spoke, his movements were slightly flustered, as if he was deliberately trying to hide something.

Gu Nanzhi felt more and more that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't see what the problem was, so he had to change the topic with a smile.

Although she agreed to Yan Xi's invitation out of sympathy, and with a hint of revenge on Qin Li.

I have to admit that this man in front of him is as gentle as jade. It's really much more likable than Qin Li's bastard.

He is humble, speaks in a measured manner, and never embarrasses.

Gradually, Gu Nanzhi's mood improved a lot, and he even felt that the sun outside the window was a little brighter.

And he unexpectedly found that he and Yanxi had many hobbies in common, such as photography, travel, stamp collecting, and even dancing.

Hearing Yan Xi say that his biggest dream when he was a child was to go around in circles on the stage in a tutu, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"Mr. Yan, you are so interesting, your mother will definitely not be bored with a son like you."

Gu Nanzhi looked up at the man opposite, and the smile in his eyes was inexplicably more sincere.

But what she didn't know was that at this moment, somewhere by the wall, a man in a peaked cap was pointing a tiny camera at the smile on his face.

"Miss Gu, thank you, I'm really happy today."

The two stayed in the café until sunset, and then Yan Xi reluctantly beckoned the waiter to settle the bill.

When he got up to say goodbye to her, he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Me too."

Looking at Yan Xi's satisfied face, although Gu Nanzhi resisted a little, he had to admit that the past few hours had been good.

So he also smiled at Yan Xi.

Then the two parted at the door of the café, Gu Nanzhi stood in place and hesitated for a moment, although he was a little reluctant, he still stopped the car and went back to Mansion No. 5.

Qin Li's anger should not have subsided, she didn't want to make him angry again, so as not to cause trouble for herself again.

After all, until now, the bones in her body were still faintly sore.
