Chapter 14 - You Are Not Inferior to Others (2/2)

Although Gu Nianbin was focused on running, he saw Du Xiaoxian and Ah Ling as soon as they came out from behind the house. He also saw Du Xiaoxian eat something with her back to him.

The servants always had breakfast at half past six. It was just past seven o’clock. Was Du Xiaoxian hungry again? Why did she ask others to bring her food instead of fetching it herself? How comfortable she was as a servant. Other servants were kind to her probably because she was a young newcomer.

Gu Nianbin looked at the watch on his wrist. It was about time. He went upstairs to take a shower and changed his clothes for breakfast. Gu Shanshan didn’t go out today, which was a rare occurrence, nor did she sleep late. She was sitting at the table having breakfast. At the sight of him, she greeted him with a smile, “Good morning, brother.”

“Good morning. Mom and Dad, good morning!” Gu Nianbin also greeted his parents and sat down at the table.

“Nianbin, you said you would ask Miss Xia out for dinner. Is it true?” As a week went by, Fang Yaru heard no news, and thus lost her patience.

“Hum…” Gu Nianbin touched his head embarrassedly. He really forgot about it. “Don’t worry. I will.”

“Did you forget it again?” Fang Yaru glared at her son. “I knew you would forget it. Are you going to leave it unsettled again? I won’t allow that all time. You said you didn’t hate her. Then keep in touch with her. If you don’t have time, I’ll help you ask her.”

“No, I’ll do it myself.” Gu Nianbin took a sip of coffee while flipping through the newspaper.

Fang Yaru took the newspaper away and said angrily, “Then give me your word. When will you ask her out?”

“Tomorrow. I will handle it tomorrow.” Gu Nianbin comforted her as soon as he found his mother unhappy.

“Ok. It’s a deal. Don’t fool me.”
