Ye Wan immediately came in with the items, and Gu Yunting watched her flit about like a busy squirrel, decorating the otherwise austere study with a festive atmosphere.
Even his silver laptop wasn't spared; a pair of small spring couplets was pasted on it.
The aesthetic was undeniably strange.
"Shouldn't you change into a red outfit? Wearing red is more fitting for the New Year," Ye Wan asked.
"No," Gu Yunting refused instantly. He absolutely would not wear red.
"But I already bought it for you," Ye Wan blinked, looking at him with innocent eyes.
"...No!" Gu Yunting sneered. He would never wear red! Absolutely not!
Half an hour later, Ye Wan gazed at the man in the red sweater, her eyes filled with admiration. Gu Yunting's skin was very fair, and the red made it appear even more so. His casually styled soft short hair had a slight curl, and his chiseled features and superior physique exuded a fatal charm. When his gaze wasn't so sharp, he looked surprisingly gentle.
Gu Yunting desperately wanted to take off the gaudy red sweater, but seeing the girl's sparkling eyes, he held back.
"It looks very good. I didn't dare to buy you a coat, knowing you wouldn't wear it. It's just a sweater, you can wear it underneath, and no one will see it… only I will," Ye Wan said with a smile.
Gu Yunting...
Fine, since she was happy, he would wear it!
Thinking of her recent distress, he considered it compensation for her.
Thus, when Gu Yunting appeared in the dining room wearing the red sweater, the butler, Sun Ma, and the other servants couldn't help but steal glances, finding their young master much more pleasing to the eye than when he always wore black.
...
When Yan Jiayi arrived at the Gu residence, Ye Wan was playing with Xiao Juzuo in the hall downstairs. The little tiger heard the sound and turned its head. Then, as if seeing an enemy, it let out a... dog bark at Yan Jiayi!
Ye Wan was stunned. She quickly picked up Xiao Juzuo and said, "You're a tiger, how can you bark like a dog?"
Aoowoo~ Xiao Juzuo looked at Ye Wan and whimpered aggrievedly, its tail tucked, completely different from the tiger that faced Yan Jiayi moments before.
The butler came out to welcome the guest and sent someone upstairs to fetch Gu Yunting. Yan Jiayi saw the little tiger Ye Wan was holding and exclaimed in surprise, "What a beautiful little tiger!"
Ye Wan didn't want to acknowledge her. She hugged Xiao Juzuo and turned to leave.
Yan Jiayi immediately called out, "Stop! I like this little tiger, give it to me."
Ye Wan was truly amused by this woman's shamelessness. She had already caused the death of Xiao Jinbao, and now she wanted Xiao Juzuo.
"Have you not had enough beatings?" Ye Wan looked at her with disgust.
"Ha, so you admit you hit me!" Yan Jiayi seethed at the thought of being beaten by this woman. She was a daughter of the Yan family, yet she was beaten by such a pauper.
If Gu Yunting hadn't still been interested in her, she would have already made her disappear.
"What is there for me to not admit? It's you, who intentionally caused the death of my puppy, but dare not admit it, you coward!" Ye Wan taunted her.
"It was not intentional, why should I admit it!" Yan Jiayi would never admit she deliberately killed that dead dog. She wanted to maintain her image of kindness in Gu Yunting's eyes. Her eyes darted, and she smiled, "Ye Wan, do you like the jade set I'm wearing today? Yun Ting Gege bought it specifically for me. I know you wanted it too, but Yun Ting Gege still gave it to me."
Yan Jiayi deliberately provoked her.
