Han Wenhao and Wen Nanxian showed no signs of surprise.
Gong Mingye raised his eyebrows and kicked his calf. “You talk too much.”
“Although rumors say that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has a promiscuous private life, her actions at the wedding today surprised me. She’s quite sensible and witty.” Wen Nanxian blinked his eyes and twirled the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.
“It’s just a facade.”
Gong Mingye crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the sofa. “No matter how good her disguise is, she’s still a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It’s hard to change her nature.”
Han Wenhao snapped his fingers in agreement. “It wasn’t easy for her to marry into the Gong family. She definitely has to put on an act, but a fox will always reveal its tail.”
Hearing the duo’s words, Wen Nanxian nodded. “That’s also right.”
“But then again, she’s eight years younger than you. An old man and a young wife. You’re also an old cow eating young grass.” Han Wenhao smiled.
Gong Ming glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, “An old cow eating young grass is good for the teeth.”
Han Wenhao coughed lightly, speechless.
Wen Nanxian’s eyes lit up as he clapped.
Brilliant!
“At the wedding today, your big brother was quite hostile towards you. How can you tolerate it?”
Gong Mingye tugged at his tie lightly, his attitude indifferent. “Don’t worry about him for now. He’ll roll back to the United States tomorrow and won’t be back anytime soon.”
The next day.
Early morning.
When Gu Wan’an woke up, it was already eight o’clock.
The bed was empty and there was no sign of the man. Moreover, her clothes were still intact.
Seeing this, she was completely relieved.
“Second Young Lady, please come downstairs for breakfast.” The maid’s voice came through the door.
“Alright, got it.”
She combed her hair which looked like a chicken nest, rushed into the bathroom, and then went downstairs.
The dining table was very long and could accommodate 20 people at the same time. Upon it, Chinese and Western dishes were placed in a tantalizing array of colors and aromas.
Gong Mingye was wearing a black suit and holding a cup of black coffee as he read the newspaper.
Hearing footsteps, his eyelids twitched.
When he saw what Gu Wan’an was wearing, he was momentarily stunned. He frowned and surveyed her from head to toe.
Noticing his gaze, Gu Wan’an looked down at herself.
A white down jacket, jeans, and sneakers. A normal outfit. There was nothing wrong.
Then, she raised her hand and wiped her face. It was clean and there was nothing dirty on it.
Why was he looking at her so strangely?
Meanwhile, the servant had already pulled out the chair opposite his. “Second Young Lady, please take a seat.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Gu Wan’an collected her thoughts, walked over, and sat down.
“Heh..” Gong Mingye sipped on his black coffee and mocked her, “Obviously a wanton woman yet she deliberately dresses so innocently and pretentiously!”
However, such a way of dressing was indeed pleasing to the eye and quite attractive.
“….”
Gu Wan’an was so angry that she lost her appetite.
Why was this man’s mouth so poisonous?!
Not even wanting to speak, she simply pretended to be mute.
She finished drinking her glass of milk.
Tang De, the old butler, walked over and said softly, “Second Young Master, Second Young Lady, it’s time to go to the old mansion to serve tea.”
The Gong family had strict rules and procedures, and they couldn’t be omitted.
She couldn’t avoid it even if she wanted to.
“Ah…”
Gu Wan’an sighed helplessly and resigned herself to her fate as she went back to her room to get her bag.
By the time she got downstairs, Gong Mingye was already wearing a black knee-length coat and black leather gloves.
Gu Heng was pushing the wheelchair while Tang De was following him while holding an umbrella.
The line-up was quite impressive, like an ancient emperor on a royal progress.
