Following her gaze, a man in a white shirt walked over, backlit so his features were indistinct, but his physique looked quite good.
As he approached, Yun Lei sweetly smiled: “Mr. Gu, you’re right on time!” She pulled Chu’e’s arm to introduce him: “This is the talented female writer from Beijing I told you about, Shen Chu’e. Chu’e, this is my cousin Gu Yanzhi, a genuine Beijing guy, and today’s bill-payer!” As she finished with a mischievous smile, Chu’e and the man’s eyes met, and they simultaneously exclaimed: “It’s you!”
“Ah? Do you know each other?” Yun Lei was completely surprised.
Chu’e felt a bit awkward. Gu Yanzhi was the very person who had splashed her with muddy water while driving an Audi A6 three days ago. Who would have thought they’d meet again in Zhuhai?
“What a coincidence, we meet again!” Gu Yanzhi smiled warmly. “I still owe Miss Shen a dress from last time!”
“What happened? What happened?” Yun Lei’s curiosity was piqued. “Quick, tell me!”
Chu’e blushed and quickly changed the subject: “Lei Lei, I’m hungry!”
Yun Lei realized: “Oh, we’ve been talking and forgot to order!” She pushed the exquisitely designed menu in front of Chu’e: “Order whatever you want, pick the expensive items.”
After all, Mr. Gu is paying…
Why such a strange title? Chu’e looked at Gu Yanzhi and asked Yun Lei curiously: “Why do you call him ‘Mr. Gu’?”
Gu Yanzhi smiled helplessly, while Yun Lei clicked her tongue: “Don’t you think his name sounds very historical? Gu Yanzhi, how ancient! It’s the kind of name you’d find in period dramas!” She dramatically elongated her voice, mimicking a theatrical female character: “Yanzhi, Yanzhi…” Her affected tone was cringe-inducing.
Gu Yanzhi seemed used to her teasing, just looking at her indulgently and smiling silently. Chu’e couldn’t help but burst out laughing. That laugh was like flowers blooming, instantly brightening Gu Yanzhi’s eyes.
