There are tis when Gu Ningyue truly doesn’t understand people like Ji Zhiye. Even though they’ve already achieved fa and success, why do they still resort to so despicable thods to pursue certain things?
Are those things really that attractive?
That they can throw all moral boundaries aside, not caring even if they hurt others,
On the way back, Gu Ningyue passed the cake shop.
After hesitating for two minutes, Gu Ningyue still changed direction at the next intersection and drove to the entrance of the cake shop.
In a few hours, she would take Jin Chenglong to et Shangguan Wuyue. What would happen in between, no one could tell.
Buying a small cake to indulge herself before going, shouldn’t be a problem!
With this thought, Gu Ningyue stepped forward and pushed the glass door of the cake shop open.
"Welco."
Cheng Yulan smiled as she looked at Gu Ningyue, who had co alone, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
The eldest lady of the Gu Family, why did she co alone today? She wanted to see that handso Ling Tianyou a bit more!
"Where’s your boss?" Gu Ningyue asked.
Cheng Yulan looked at her and said, "Our boss just went out and will be back soon. Are you looking for our boss for sothing? I can pass a ssage for you."
Gu Ningyue shook her head, "It’s nothing, it’s just that the free sample we got the other day was so delicious, I wanted to ask if I could buy so."
Cheng Yulan smiled gently, "You’ll really have to wait for the boss to co back for that. Whether the new products our boss develops will be sold depends on the boss’s mood."
Gu Ningyue nodded in understanding, "Then I’ll take a look at other things, any recomndations?"
Cheng Yulan acknowledged and picked a few cakes from the store to introduce to Gu Ningyue. Almost every cake had a beautiful na and story, rarely found in other cake shops.
"Your boss is very romantic," Gu Ningyue said involuntarily as she listened to Cheng Yulan’s introduction. "Being her boyfriend must be very happy."
Cheng Yulan smiled and looked at Gu Ningyue, who was gazing at the display case, and said, "Our boss is still single and hasn’t had a boyfriend yet!"
Gu Ningyue responded calmly, "This one, and that one, please wrap them up for !"
Cheng Yulan nodded, "Sure."
After packing the items, just as Gu Ningyue was about to pay, a middle-aged man of about forty walked in: "Is your boss here?"
Cheng Yulan looked at the man and shook her head, "Our boss just went out for so business and will be back shortly. How was the birthday cake, sir? Was it okay?"
Gu Ningyue paid and turned around, facing a sowhat familiar face: "My daughter liked it a lot, especially the small cakes your boss gave us, she’s urging to buy more. Are there any made today?"
Gu Ningyue stood still, feeling that the man in front of her seed familiar.
After recalling for a while, Gu Ningyue finally rembered who the man was!
Isn’t this the man she t before, just before boarding the ship during her last mission?
Although they had only exchanged a few words, in the dream when she was cursed, he appeared too.
"The boss originally planned to make them, but had to go out for so urgent business," Cheng Yulan told the middle-aged man, "If you don’t mind waiting, I can call the boss and ask when they’ll return."
The middle-aged man nodded and casually sat on a chair.
Gu Ningyue looked at Cheng Yulan and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for a while too!"
Cheng Yulan acknowledged and went inside to make a call.
Fragnted conversations flowed from inside, Gu Ningyue could only catch so bits and pieces: "Mm, they’re all waiting for you... Why did your dad suddenly co to A city? ...Hey, how much longer will you be? Alright!... Everyone is waiting for you! Try to co back soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yulan walked out from the back, "Sorry, our boss has so personal matters and will take at least half an hour to return. If you’re both in a hurry, you can leave your number, and our boss will contact you when they’re back!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, looking at Cheng Yulan: "I have so things to do! How much is that cake? I’ll leave a deposit and co pick it up tomorrow, is that okay?"
Cheng Yulan nodded, "Of course."
After confirming the cake’s style and size, the middle-aged man left a number and departed.
After the middle-aged man left, Gu Ningyue also approached the counter, "I’ll leave a number for you. If your boss cos back, please have her call this number. I’m getting engaged and would like to order a three-tier cake."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yulan imdiately said, "Of course! Congratulations! Just write your na and number under the gentleman before you."
Gu Ningyue nodded, and while writing her na and number, she had already morized the na and number of the middle-aged man.
"Alright."
Having written down the number and na, Gu Ningyue turned and left.
Cheng Yulan watched Gu Ningyue’s back, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.
This woman’s eyes really do resemble Gu Lingxue’s, yet she exudes a charm and gentleness that make it difficult to associate Gu Ningyue with Gu Lingxue.
The two of them seem destined not to be the sa kind of people.
It seems that Lin Ruixian and Gu Ningyue being close, might really just be due to so necessary connections!
Thinking so, Cheng Yulan took out her phone and sent a ssage to Gu Lingxue: "They’ve both left, no need to worry now."
"Ding-dong—"
Gu Lingxue: "I’m already on my way."
Cheng Yulan was a bit surprised: "Argued with your dad again?"
"Ding-dong—"
Gu Lingxue: "Not exactly, he got angry on his own. Don’t bother with him!"
Cheng Yulan was even more puzzled: "Because of what?"
"Ding-dong—"
Gu Lingxue: "I said I’d accompany you to the competition, and my dad disagreed."
Cheng Yulan frowned, "Just accompanying doesn’t an you have to participate. Why does your dad disagree? Didn’t he have a different view before?"
"Ding-dong—"
Gu Lingxue: "I have no idea what he’s thinking, suddenly coming to A city, and suddenly telling not to have any more contact with Lin Ruixian. Whatever, I’ll explain more when I get back! I’m in a cab now."
Cheng Yulan: "Okay, see you soon."
Not letting Gu Lingxue have contact with Lin Ruixian seed pointless to her because for a long ti, Gu Lingxue had only been quietly watching Lin Ruixian without any real contact.
This, didn’t Gu Lingxue’s father know?
If he knew, why suddenly impose such a rule?
