"I originally bought it for someone else, but now you get it cheap," Gu Yunting said against his will.
The bodyguard and driver felt sorry for their master, knowing this was specifically bought for Miss Ye.
Ye Wan: "..."
She hadn't eaten dessert in a long time and was craving it. She picked up a spoon and ate the dessert in front of her bite by bite.
Seeing her enjoy it, Gu Yunting asked, "Is it good?"
"Desserts are naturally delicious, but they're just too expensive. When I have money, I'll eat them every day!" Ye Wan declared generously.
Gu Yunting: "..."
It was the first time he had heard someone's ideal be to eat desserts every day once they had money.
"Want to try?" Ye Wan, seeing him staring at the dessert, extended her spoon and asked.
Gu Yunting looked up at her, reached out, cupped the back of her head, and pulled her towards him. His lips pressed down, biting hers. His tongue swept away the dessert lingering on her lips, savoring that tiny bit of chocolate sauce.
When the man released her, his mood had improved considerably. He curved his lips, "It does taste quite good."
Ye Wan's face instantly flushed scarlet. He, he, how could he do that? She quickly lowered her head and continued eating, wondering if his words had a double meaning.
Finally finished, Ye Wan said, "I need to get back to school."
"Take this," Gu Yunting handed her a bag.
"What is this?" Ye Wan tried to look.
"See when you get to school. And don't wear such ugly clothes again, they're an eyesore!" Gu Yunting said indifferently.
The bodyguard had already opened the car door for Ye Wan. She got out, looked down at her clothes, and didn't think they were that exaggerated. They were just ordinary clothes.
The car drove away. Ye Wan turned and walked towards the school. Curious, she peeked into the bag and took out the contents. It was candy, packaged in a transparent bear-shaped container. It was rather cute.
So, he bought it for someone else again, and now she benefited?
Ye Wan glanced back at the luxury car. If she could get along peacefully with Gu Yunting until she left, it wouldn't be such a terrible thing, would it?
In the car, Gu Yunting kept his gaze fixed on Ye Wan's retreating figure. When she looked back at him, his hand, resting on his leg, unconsciously clenched. The girl only glanced back once before turning and walking away, finally disappearing from sight.
...
Ye Wan returned to her dorm first. It was still early, so she could rest for a while. Jiang Yan saw her enter, still carrying a bag, and asked, "Ye Wan, did your brother pick you up for dinner? What did he buy you?"
Jiang Yan had witnessed Ye Wan's frugality firsthand, so she knew Ye Wan wouldn't buy such things herself. It had to be a gift from someone else.
"Uh... yes."
It was a brother, but not Lin Zehan.
She didn't want to explain. Her relationship with Gu Yunting was too complicated, so she could only imply it was Lin Zehan.
Jiang Yan took the bag and took out the small bear jar. "Wow, it's so cute! It's candy inside, can I have one?"
"Go ahead, I don't eat candy," Ye Wan said with a smile and then picked up a book to read.
"You are strange. What girl doesn't love candy? You're the only girl I've ever met who doesn't like it." Jiang Yan took one out, peeled off the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth. The sweet taste spread, making her eyes squint with joy.
She offered one to Ye Wan, who refused, "I really don't like candy!"
Seeing candy even made her feel nauseous. Ever since a candy she had desperately protected was knocked away by Gu Yunting, she couldn't stomach candy anymore.
