“Miss Gu is too kind” Gu Nianzhi s chuckled “Yanran, how can you talk about her name like that?Our Nianzhi doesn’t even kno to answer you!”
Gu Yanran smiled, “I think her name is quite special”
Gu Nianzhi answered boldly, “Well, it’s just words and hed fro, “Xuezi, you shouldn’t be rude when you’re treating Miss Gu to dinner” In other words, he wanted Xue Jingjiang to take Gu Yanran away instead of chatting and wasting tiot the hint; he also knew Huo Shaoheng had special feelings for Gu Nianzhi He nodded at her with a s to have dinner over there now Coyue when you’re free and I’ll prepare all the food you like It’ll be ready at anytiraciously as she watched Xue Jingjiang and Gu Yanran leave

The steak was actually htly overcooked so the outside was burnt and inside tough,after a few bites and dove into the roasted cod instead The fish was so tender and delicate that she finished the entire fillet in one breath and gushed, “This is really good! The red wine and herbs took away any fishi+ness, but you can still taste the sweetness of the fish How exceptional”
Huo Shaoheng saw that Gu Nianzhi had only eaten a bit of the black pepper steak so he reached out to exchange it with his plate of roasted cod
Gu Nianzhi quickly objected “That steak is too tough and not very good Huo Shao doesn’t need to eat soforked another sood to waste food”
