Chapter 869: Chapter 871: Don’t Believe It
"Yicheng, do you think I’m like a fool?" Xu Nianhua looked helplessly at Pei Yicheng, why, in Pei Yicheng’s eyes, was she a fool?
"You’re not foolish." Pei Yicheng reached out to rub her head, her soft hair in his palm, bringing up a tingling feeling. He lowered his head and looked into her serene eyes, saying, "You’re just too kind-hearted."
Xu Nianhua: "..."
"The Gu Family is cunning, you, be careful you might get sold and not even know it." Pei Yicheng liked to ruffle her hair, only when Xu Nianhua couldn’t stand it anymore did she say, "Yicheng, soon my hair’s going to look like a bird’s nest!"
"Moreover, it’s not certain who will end up selling who!" Xu Nianhua muttered, she thought although she wasn’t very smart, nor someone with deep scheming, it’s not easy for the Gu Family to sell her, she’s not foolish?
"Alright, you’re smart." Hearing her words, Pei Yicheng rubbed her hair even more vigorously, making it messier.
Xu Nianhua glared at him in frustration.
"Looks good." Pei Yicheng seriously appraised her, though her hair was messy, it still carried a kind of disheveled beauty.
"No way."
Xu Nianhua used her hand as a comb to tidy up her hair.
"Really." Pei Yicheng reached out to hold her hand, under the moonlight he carefully worked to restore her messed-up hair to its original state.
Xu Nianhua secretly observed him, his serious effort in tidying her hair was... indeed good-looking!
She felt she hit the jackpot, fluttering her eyelashes and she asked, "Yicheng, what if I grow old and become ugly and unattractive?"
"Worried I’ll despise you?" Pei Yicheng lowered his head, the teasing in his smile was particularly noticeable.
"Of course not." Xu Nianhua’s big eyes blinked, the looks of wanting to know yet not admitting it fell into Pei Yicheng’s eyes, making her even more adorable.
Pei Yicheng extended his long arm, encircling her into his embrace, his chin resting on her forehead, she felt soft and cuddly in his arms.
"Even if you grow old, in my heart, you’d surely be the most beautiful old lady."
By her ear, Pei Yicheng’s voice sounded, instinctively she retorted, "No way."
"Don’t believe?" Pei Yicheng released her, leaning down to look into her eyes.
Xu Nianhua looked up, crashing into those deep eyes, suddenly the question seemed a bit redundant.
"Don’t worry, you have a lifetime to test me." Pei Yicheng leaned down and tenderly placed a kiss on her forehead, the affection in his gaze seemed as if it might overflow.
Xu Nianhua’s heart was beating fast, they say beauty is a disaster, she felt under Yicheng’s handsome and deep gaze, probably not many women could resist?
...
South City.
"Dad, didn’t we say we got all the machines in already?" Gu Mingzhu received the news by the following night.
These days, Gu Mingzhu had been troubled by Zhao Xiu’s matters, contacting classmates from all over, trying hard to make amends over there at Jiang Jing, thus she couldn’t return home immediately.
"Mingzhu, this matter is my mistake, I’ve always managed the medicine intake, the machines were He Jin’s contact, the previous two machines were brought in by He Jin, who would have thought, at the last minute he’d stop investing money?" Gu Hai was also very troubled over this; he’s been in business for years and this is the first time he’s faced such a major setback!
He Jin, they don’t only know him for a few days!
