2901 The Dissolution Of Their Engagement 5 (1/2)

As it stood, he would even go the distance to flatter her with precious jewelry. Persuasively, he seemed to be speaking with sincere and intense conviction.

…

After a long day of showing off, Gu Xijiu finally got a grasp of his intention. Like a peacock fanning its feathers in a display, he was actually trying to impress her with as many assets as he could possibly boast.

She touched her face in bewilderment, wondering if her disguise had somehow been removed. If she remembered correctly, she should look rather ordinary, but surprisingly, it was enough to attract many men. Perhaps her brilliant character was what they valued the most. Apparently, a mediocre appearance could not hold her back.

If Gu Xijiu were any younger, she would believe that this man was sincerely trying to woo her. However, years of experiencing the real world had taught her to be cautious about excessive compliments. The man must be planning for something more; otherwise, he would not go completely out of his way to impress her.

\”Little Jiu, what are you looking at?\” Meng Wuya approached her with a tray in his hand.

Gu Xijiu saw the tray and was immediately attracted by the fact that her favorite food filled the plates. Her favorite passion fruit cookies were nicely prepared and had an irresistible smell. Frankly, Gu Xijiu was more impressed by the food than his excessive flaunting. He had done so many things but finally got one right. Happily, she started indulging in the food.

\”Do you like it?\” Meng Wuya seemed relieved at her approval of the food. He had done everything he could in the past two days, but she was largely uninterested in what he had to offer. Finally, there was some progress.

\”I do,\” she complimented his great choice of food.

\”Are you really the fiancée of the National Master?\” Meng Wuya suddenly added.

She remained very noncommittal and only answered with a smile, for she knew that he would be asking more questions.
