Shi Sheng saw Gu Hao in the newspaper before . But compared to that, he looked more handsome and full of vigor in reality .
They met in a cafe near Lan Ching’s condominium . As it was New Year Eve, there were not many people in the cafe .
“Miss Lan, I’m so sorry to disturb you at this time,” Gu Hao was very humble .
Shi Sheng raised her eyebrows . She thought Gu Hao was here to look for trouble .
“Mr Gu, anything you wanna say? Please . ”
Gu Hao looked at the lady in front of him . Such a pretty lady . She’s so natural in front of me, without a sign of pleasing or fear .
“Is Xiao Chi with you now?”
He wanted to visit Gu Chi originally but no one was there .
Of course, the Gu family had received the news that Gu Chi and Shi Sheng came together, but they dared not intervene .
Besides, Gu Chi had called to remind them not to check Lan Sheng .
By now, they only knew that Lan Sheng is the Young Miss of Yu Teng Group and the Movie Queen in the entertainment industry . She is nice, but had a few scandals recently .
“Hmm . ” Shi Sheng nodded .
Gu Hao took a deep breath, “Miss Lan, since both of you had come together for quite some time, I’ll go straight to the point . ”
“Please . ”
“Before that, I’d like to ask about your purpose of coming together with Gu Chi . ”
Shi Sheng was holding a cup of coffee . She took a sip and put it down, “Together for the rest of our life . ”
Gu Hao nodded, “Since this is the case, I hope Miss Lan could listen to my advice and don’t feel that I’m nagging . ”
Gu Hao’s words were full of concern towards Gu Chi . He talked with Shi Sheng from the perspective of an elder brother instead of the president of Huan Yu Group .
“Miss Lan, I hope you can consider what I’ve just said . If you still persevere to come together with Gu Chi, our family will not stop you . ”
Gu Hao got up and bowed slightly, “Lastly, I’d like to ask Miss Lan for one thing . I hope you can take Gu Chi home tomorrow if possible . It can also be…a chance to introduce you to our family . ”
His words can be taken as recognition of Shi Sheng’s identity .
“I’ll try my best . ” Even though Gu Chi will listen to me, I still have to find a way to tell him . ”
“Miss Lan, please send my regards to Mr Lan . I’ll pay a visit on another day . ”
Gu Hao walked out of the cafe and was relieved . His assistant came with an umbrella, “President Gu . ”
“She’s a nice girl . ” Gu Hao said softly, “Since Xiao Chi likes her, we have to accept even if she’s bad . Let’s go!”
The assistant followed Gu Hao and asked in a worry, “Will young master come back?”
“Most likely . ” She was able to take Gu Chi to Lan Ching’s house . Perhaps, taking him home is not so difficult .
When Shi Sheng came back, Gu Chi and Lan Ching were drinking .
Lan Ching was not as good a drinker as Gu Chi . Lan Ching was drunk but Gu Chi was still in a sober mind .
Two hours left before New Year .
“Why don’t you go back?” Shi Sheng was lying in Gu Chi’s arm, watching the New Year’s gala that was showing on TV .
Gu Hao was a nice person and he treated Shi Sheng nicely too .
Shi Sheng was in a good mood . Since I don’t lose anything by helping them, why not?
But it must be his own willingness to go back . I’ll not force him to do anything .
Gu Chi looked down at Shi Sheng’s fingers and played with it . The laughter on the TV flowed out .
When the show ended, Gu Chi answered slowly, “I’m not used to the merry scenes . ”
He could not understand their feelings, so every time when he came into those scenes, he could not adapt himself .
“I will go with you . ”
Gu Chi tilted his head slightly .
Shi Sheng turned her head and looked up at him . She held his neck, leaned over and kissed for seconds, “Just go back for a look . We can leave immediately if you don’t like it . ”
Gu Chi breathed slowly . The shows of the New Year’s gala changed after one another .
“I can go anywhere as long as you’re there . ”
What can I do if he keeps flirting with me?
Gu family’s old house .
There were a lot of lights in the villa . Children were playing with fireworks on the open ground and adults were chit-chatting in the villa, but the atmosphere was not very festive .
10 minutes left before New Year .
8 minutes…
5 minutes…
3 minutes…
1 minute…
The New Year’s gala started to count down…
“Old master, the young master is back . ” The butler hurried in from the outside, with coldness left on her body .
But nobody felt cold .
“Who do you mean?” The Old Master Gu stood up excitedly, “Xiao Chi is back?”
“Yes, the young master is back . ”
“Quick, quick!” Old Master Gu hurried out .
“Grandpa, slow down please . ” Gu Hao quickly helped Old Master Gu .
Everyone gathered around Old Master Gu and went outside the villa .
The New Year’s gala was still counting down .
“Three…two…one…Happy New Year!”
“Bang!” A huge firework bloomed over the villa .
Children’s cheers and laughter can be heard far away, together with the people coming in slowly .
Shi Sheng knew that Gu family was big, but she was still surprised to see so many people .
Gu Chi stood quietly beside Shi Sheng . He kept looking at her instead of the Gu family .
“She’s the little girl of the Lan family,” explained Gu Hao to Old Master Gu who was gazing at Shi Sheng curiously, “Xiao Chi seems to like her very much . ”
“Up to him . Quick, let them in . ” Old Master Gu almost sobbed .
Gu Hao asked someone to hold Old Master Gu and strode towards them .
“Xiao Chi, welcome home . ” Gu Hao wanted to give Gu Chi a hug but Gu Chi escaped .
He looked at Gu Hao indifferently . Even though there were countless gorgeous fireworks reflected in his eyes, it looked greyish-white in his eyes .
Shi Sheng patted his hands .
Gu Chi glanced at Shi Sheng and looked at Gu Hao who was a little disappointed . He stepped forward slowly and gave Gu Hao a little hug .
It was very short . He let go as they touched .
Gu Hao looked at Gu Chi unexpectedly, followed by surprises left on his face .
“It’s cold outside . Xiao Chi, quickly come in . Miss Lan, please come in . ”
Everyone saw the hug just now and their reaction was similar to Gu Hao’s .
Surprise, unexpected and relief…
It was too cold outside . Instead of standing outside to chat, they entered the villa merrily .
The butler made a cup of hot tea for Shi Sheng and Gu Chi .
“Miss Lan, let me introduce you,” said Gu Hao just as everyone was curious about Shi Sheng, “This is my grandpa…”
“Hi, Grandpa Gu . ” Shi Sheng took a box from the bag she was carrying and paid a New Year’s greeting obediently, “Happy New Year, Grandpa Gu . ”
“Good . ” Old Master Gu smiled and took the box, “You’re such a sweet girl . Gu Hao, take the purple brocade bracelet in my study room for me . ”
The ladies’ faces twisted immediately . They left quietly while Old Master Gu was talking with Shi Sheng . When they came back, all of them were having something in their hands .
Shi Sheng was fortunate that she had quite a lot of things in her space . Otherwise, she cannot afford to give gifts to so many people .
