Chapter 1634: A Girl Will Doll Herself up for the Man Who Loves Her

“You’re lucky if you get it, but if you don’t get it, so be it?” Gu Nianzhi muttered to herself and shook her head. “Negative, too negative. You’ll lose those young ladies who truly love you if you do this.”

If she had thought that way back then, she would never have been able to be with Huo.

He Zhichu was amused by Gu Nianzhi’s serious look and gently rubbed her head. He said with a half-hearted smile, “If someone who truly loves me gives up so easily, then it’s not meant to be. Don’t mind my business. If you care so much about me, you might not be able to get rid of me again.”

Gu Nianzhi:”…”

“Then we can’t even be normal friends anymore?” Gu Nianzhi sat up straight and frowned. “Why twist normal concern between friends? What happened to treating me like a sister?”

He Zhichu retracted his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly. His expression cold and detached, he said lightly, “Does that mean we can’t even joke around as friends anymore? If we can’t even joke around, then let’s not be friends anymore. As for brother and sister, if you’re willing to call me brother, I’ll naturally protect you for the rest of your life.”

Hearing He Zhichu’s words, Gu Nianzhi was so angry that she wondered if she had gone too far just now…

It was clearly just a joke.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t want He Zhichu to get angry. She held her red grape juice with both hands and lowered her head to say embarrassingly, “Young Master He, I was wrong.”

He Zhichu didn’t expect Gu Nianzhi to apologize directly.

He stared at her blankly for a while, then a smile appeared on his face. It was like a spring breeze blowing across the surface of frozen water. There were still ice in the ripples, but he still smiled.

However, there was a dead silence in his sparkling almond-shaped eyes.

He Zhichu raised his head and downed the cocktail in his hand in one gulp. He placed the empty glass on the bar counter and motioned for the bartender to bring him another glass of red wine. He patted Gu Nianzhi on the head while he was at it. “Okay, you still know to apologize. I didn’t dote on you for nothing.”

“Brother He is the best.” Gu Nianzhi quickly tried to kiss up to him. She looked up at He Zhichu’s cold side profile and smiled sweetly. She was like a little kitten who had done something wrong and was trying to get away with it by acting cute. Her big eyes were dark and shiny. All that was missing was another soft cat tail wagging around.

He Zhichu could not get angry at this smiling face.

He smiled again. This time, the smile reached his eyes like sunlight, and the sulkiness in his almond-shaped eyes disappeared.

from the side, The bartender looked at He Zhichu and then at Gu Nianzhi. He shook his head without batting an eye. He made He Zhichu a cocktail with a high alcohol content and placed it beside his wine glass.

He Zhichu saw it and didn’t say anything. He picked up the red wine and drank it first.

It didn’t take long before more and more people gathered around He Zhichu.

They greeted him, talked about things, and even greeted Gu Nianzhi.

They were all smart people. They chatted tacfully and didn’t make Gu Nianzhi feel out of place, nor did they make her feel left out. It was just like she was an old friend of theirs. There was a sense of harmony and harmony.

Gu Nianzhi was also a very talkative person. She had seen many important people with Huo Shaoheng over the years, so she didn’t have stage fright and could talk about all sorts of topics.

In addition, these people avoided talking about the Qin family and Qin Yaoguang, so Gu Nianzhi wasn’t embarrassed or awkward.

However, the side effect was that Gu Nianzhi couldn’t find out anything about the Qin family.

This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

If He Zhichu hadn’t been watching her from the side, Gu Nianzhi believed that she would have been able to dig up more information about the Qin family.

Unfortunately, he clearly didn’t like Qin Yaoguang and didn’t want to have anything to do with the Qin family. His childhood friends had heard of it and understood, so naturally they wouldn’t provoke him.

Gu Nianzhi joked around for a while and then gradually fell silent.

Because most of the people here were men, it wasn’t appropriate for her to be sandwiched in the middle.

The living room happened to have He Zhichu and Xie Qingying as the center, forming two circles.

One circle was mainly for men, and the other circle was mainly for women.

When Xie Qingying saw that Gu Nianzhi was bored, she quickly helped her best friend over and smiled as she waved at her. “Nianzhi, come and chat with cousin. We cousins should also get to know each other better.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes lit up. Women were the best at gossiping. She thought that she would be more productive if she went to Xie Qingying’s place to chat with those women.

She quickly looked at He Zhichu and said, “Young Master He, should I go talk to Cousin Xie?”

He Zhichu looked over and hesitated. “… Are you okay? You only know Xie Qingying over there.”

“It’s okay. I will know them after I get there.” Gu Nianzhi smiled as she jumped down from the high chair. She turned around and waved at He Zhichu. “Okay, Young Master He, you can talk about your own stuff. I’ll be right back.”

She hopped over to Xie Qingying’s side and said, “Cousin Xie, don’t come any closer. Your feet haven’t recovered yet.”

Xie Qingying stopped in her tracks and waited for her to walk over. She held her hand and returned to their circle.

She let Gu Nianzhi sit next to her and introduced her to her friends. “Gu Nianzhi is a very capable lawyer. Even if you haven’t met her, you must have heard of her name, right? She’s very young. She’s only twenty.”

All the women who could be friends with Xie Qingying were similar to her, so they all nodded at Gu Nianzhi and said, “I’ve heard so much about you.”

Gu Nianzhi giggled and said, “Ladies, please don’t judge me. I’m new here. If I accidentally offend you, please tell me. I’ll apologize right away!”

Her bubbly and cute attitude quickly won over Xie Qingying’s friends. Everyone opened their mouths and started chatting.

Xie Qingying listened with a smile on her face. After a while, she clapped her hands and said, “It’s almost time. Shall we go out and barbecue to enjoy the snowy scenery?”

“Sure, sure! I heard that we made authentic venison and copper silk blindfolds today. We can try roasting venison like we did in the dream of the Red Chamber.” Xie Qingying’s best friend was the first to stand up. She then turned around and carefully helped Xie Qingying up.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help thinking of Ma Qiqi when she saw how close the two of them were..

She had good friends before, but they were now separated.

Gu Nianzhi, feeling a little down, turned to look in He Zhichu’s direction.

Xie Qingying immediately sensed it.

She didn’t say anything and quietly let her best friend lead everyone to the barbecue booth outside. She fell behind and walked with Gu Nianzhi slowly.

Qin Haoshan gave her a walking stick that could be shrunk into a small wooden stick and supported half of her body weight.

Seeing this, Gu Nianzhi slowed down as well. She held Xie Qingying’s arm and said softly, “Cousin Xie, don’t blame me for being too nosy, but these high-heeled boots are really not suitable for a snowy day like this.”

Even if it was on flat ground, the roads might freeze after the snow, not to mention climbing mountains. If she wasn’t careful, she might fall to the ground.

Xie Qingying said with a wry smile, “Since you put it that way, I’ll be honest with you. I’m wearing this outfit for Young Master He. I’m only 1.65 meters tall, not as tall as you. Since I’m not tall enough, I won’t be able to rock this skirt-style coat. So even though it’s snowing heavily, I still can’t help wearing high-heeled boots.”

To put it bluntly, a girl will doll herself up for the man who loves her.

Gu Nianzhi suddenly understood and quickly nodded. “I understand, I understand. Cousin Xie is so beautiful, so you’ll look good no matter what you wear. It’s not like Young Master He doesn’t have eyes. He can see…”

Xie Qingying pursed her lips into a smile. She was a little bashful, but she still dared to say, “Nianzhi, you really don’t like Young Master He? I didn’t mean anything by it. If you still like him, I definitely won’t get involved in your relationship.”

Gu Nianzhi was also a straightforward person. Seeing that Xie Qingying had said it out loud, she was very impressed and felt that she liked her even more. She turned around to look at He Zhichu and saw that he had also brought his group of friends out. She laughed softly. “… Cousin Xie, I’ll be honest with you. I’ve always treated Young Master He as my older brother. My parents were the ones who made us get engaged in the past. Do you know how old I was at that time? How could I have feelings for Young Master He?”

“Really?” Xie Qingying’s heart pounded. She looked Gu Nianzhi up and down and saw that her smile was bright and composed. She did not look like she was lying at all.

Although she was young, she had been in the new media for several years so she was good at reading people’s expressions.

Xie Qingying believed that Gu Nianzhi meant what she said.

Gu Nianzhi nodded heavily. “Why would I lie to you? I also told you that there are many women who like Young Master He, but at the moment, only Cousin Xie’s overall qualities are the most outstanding.”

At least she was much better than Wen Shouyi, who was secretly in love with He Zhichu but did not dare to say it out loud.

Gu Nianzhi remembered the evil intentions Wen Shouyi had harbored towards her in the other world, and she became enraged.
