Chapter 17
The end of dinner was the most important gift-giving session. Apart from Gu Ren, everyone in the family looked at the gift prepared by Ye Zhi with anticipation.
Ye Zhi was being stared at so much that her face turned a little hot. She took the watch she prepared for Gu Ren from her bag and placed it in front of him.
Qin Ting looked at Gu Ren with a smile on her face and urged him constantly to wear it, “It’s a gift of Ye Zhi for you, you can put it on directly.”
Gu Ren’s wrists were thin and slender. When the watch was worn on his wrist, it looked even more noble. Sure enough, such expensive things looked very elegant on Gu Ren.
Ye Zhi and Gu Ren stayed at Gu’s residence tonight. They carefully prepared a room for Ye Zhi next to Gu Ren.
The Gu family knew that they would eventually get married when they knew each other better. Now they (Ye Zhi & Gu Ren) were still in the stage of cultivating their feelings. Unbeknownst to them, Gu Ren and Ye Zhi had already signed a marriage contract.
Ye Zhi wandered inside her room for a while before she finally made up her mind. She took out a gift box from her bag and summoned the courage to knock on Gu Ren’s door.
After knocking three times, a low sound of footsteps came from the room and the next second, Gu Ren opened the door.
Gu Ren seemed to have just taken a shower as his hair was still a little bit wet. He looked at Ye Zhi inquisitively with his dark eyes.
Ye Zhi looked straight into the dark eyes of Gu Ren. The cold moonlight was reflected in his obsidian eyes.
Ye Zhi was clenching her fists as she stood outside the door and felt inexplicably nervous. She handed a small gift box to Gu Ren and said, “This is another gift I prepared.”
“It is not very expensive and I bought it with my own money. Happy birthday.”
She waited for Gu Ren to take the box and immediately added, “Good night.” After Ye Zhi had said good night, she turned around to go back to her room.
Even after the door of the next room was closed, Gu Ren continue to stand at the door of his room and didn’t go in. He gently opened the box. A plain necktie was lying inside.
For a second, a light smile appeared on his face.

It was Gu Ren’s birthday the next day and Ye Zhi received a phone call from her manager sister Zhu. It was sister Zhu who asked Ye Zhi to pursue Gu Ren and do all kinds of things to gain fame.
When Ye Zhi saw who the caller was, her eyes suddenly became cold. The agency only wanted to squeeze their artists dry. They didn’t care how much the artists would be pressured or how bad their reputation would become.
They only cared about how much benefit the artists would bring to the company under their operation.
Ye Zhi answered the phone after it kept on ringing for a long time. Her voice was very weak, “What’s the matter?”
Sister Zhu’s voice came from the speaker, “What take you so long to answer?”
Ye Zhi replied in a soft voice, “I’m just doing something.”
Although sister Zhu thought Ye Zhi’s attitude was a little strange, she didn’t take it to heart. “Today is Gu Ren’s birthday, send him a blessing on Weibo.”
Ye Zhi froze and then coldly said, “I don’t think it’s necessary to post Weibo. I’m not that familiar with him.”
Sister Zhu felt that something was wrong with Ye Zhi. She opened her mouth and said, “No matter what, it’s settled and besides it’s not like you are doing it for the first time.”
