On the surface, Gu Xian'er didn't show it, but her heart was already in turmoil. She walked past the two servants with her fists clenched and said nothing.
He had heard from Wan Xiuru that the Old Master wanted the ancient city to bring Ning Anlan home for dinner. At that time, she hadn't thought much of it. She had felt that this Ning Anlan couldn't possibly be better off than her.
But after seeing him today, Ning Anlan wasn't as simple as she had thought.
Gu Xian'er looked at herself in the mirror and reapplied her lipstick before heading back downstairs. Ning Anlan was still in the same position as before, as if he hadn't moved at all.
A servant brought the fruit juice into the living room. Gu Xian'er coughed and took the tray, "Give it to me. You can go and rest."
The servant was surprised for a moment. He felt that Miss Xian'er was a little strange today, but he still left with some doubts.
"Elder sister An Lan, drink some fruit juice." A sweet voice came from the top of his head, it was so close that Ning Anlan subconsciously hid behind it.
"Thank you."
She smiled back as she reached for the juice. It was unknown if it was because her actions were too sudden, or if it was due to some other reason, but Gu Xian'er suddenly leaned forward a little, her hand knocked against the tray, scattering the juice all over her body.
Ning Anlan slightly frowned. His purple skirt was dyed with a wet patch, and was still exuding the fragrance of fresh fruit juice.
"I'm sorry, Big Sister An Lan. I really didn't mean it. Please don't be angry anymore."
Gu Xian'er panicked. She hastily grabbed a few tissues from the table and helped Ning Anlan wipe off the water stains on his body. When he heard the tearful apology in his ear, Ning Anlan only felt annoyed.
Earlier, she clearly saw that Gu Xian'er purposely spilled the juice on her, but she couldn't figure out what this woman's motive was.
"I'm fine."
Ning Anlan wanted to pry Gu Xian'er's hand away, but Gu Xian'er's hand seemed to be glued to her body, unable to pry it away no matter how hard he tried.
"Big Sister An Lan, I really didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to pass you some juice." Gu Xian'er pursed her lips, a wronged expression on her face as tears welled up in her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
The ancient city accompanied the old man out, and they saw that the living room was in chaos.
Gu Xian'er frantically wiped Ning Anyang's clothes. For some reason, the more she wiped, the dirtier they became.
Seeing that the ancient city had descended, Gu Xian'er felt even more wronged. She let go of Ning Anlan's clothes and took two steps back, like a child who had done something wrong, and stood there obediently.
"I accidentally wet big sister An Lan's clothes, I didn't do it on purpose …"
Ning Anlan only raised an eyebrow and didn't say anything. At this point, if the ancient city believed Gu Xian'er's words, then anything she said would be of no use.
Furthermore, this was the Gu family. She couldn't start a conflict with Gu Xian'er in front of the old man.
Being dirty was not a big deal. With Gu Xian'er's wronged expression, it could be seen that she had been wronged. If Ning Anlan was to complain at this moment, she would be making a fuss about nothing.
This young lady of the Gu family seemed to be young, but she was actually quite shrewd.
"It's fine. I don't like these clothes anyway. So what if it's dirty?" "Miss Gu is the little princess of the Gu family, it's good that your hand isn't injured."
Ning Anlan's voice wasn't as cold as it usually was, and it had a hint of warmth to it. He didn't seem like someone who was angry at all.
These words were a double entendre, which meant that she wasn't so narrow-minded as to get angry over a piece of cloth. She also hinted at Gu Xian'er's loveliness, and how helpless she was. Yin, crying for no reason.
"Elder sister An Lan …"
Gu Xian'er lifted her head up with tears in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but realized that she didn't know what to say.
In the outside world, it was rumored that Ning An Lan was as cold as a fairy who lived in the heavens. She was above the mundane world. Who would have thought that her words would be so eloquent?
"Alright, Miss Ning doesn't blame you. Quickly, don't be wronged. Some day you must compensate Miss Ning with a set of formal attire."
Wan Xiurou consoled Gu Xian'er gently. Gu Xian'er did her best to keep her composure, but her face soon returned to normal. She still looked teary, but she still felt pity for him.
"Miss Ning, you can't wear these clothes when they're wet. You're about the same size as Xian'er. I'll get Xian'er to go upstairs and find some clothes for you to change into, so don't mind me."
When Wan Xiuru sent her daughter upstairs to get her clothes, Ning Anlan saw Gu Xian'er's unwillingness and felt a sense of revulsion in his heart.
"No need, I'll get my assistant to send over a piece of clothing. It won't be long." As he said that, he took out his cell phone to make a call.
Gu Xian'er pursed her lips and said, "That's right. Mom, Sister An Lan's temperament is so noble, how could she wear the clothes I wear? "
The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. It was obvious that Gu Xian'er's words were about Ning Anlan's temper.
"What did you go through?" Didn't you buy a new set of clothes yesterday? " Wan Xiu Ru reminded her daughter.
Ning Anlan, who was about to make a phone call, suddenly stopped. It would seem delicate to insist that his assistant deliver the clothes at this time. "Since auntie and Miss Gu have good intentions, I'll change my clothes here. Thank you, Miss Gu."
Wan Xiurou froze for a moment, while Gu Xian'er's expression stiffened. She didn't expect Ning Anlan, who was rumored to have rejected all attempts at communication, to actually agree to wear Gu Xian'er's clothes.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Xian'er immediately reacted. "Then, Big Sister An Lan, let me bring you upstairs."
Most of Gu Xian'er's clothes were made from young ladies' styles, such as small foreign dresses mixed together. Ning Anlan didn't wear such clothes very often.
He randomly picked out a small white dress with a nameplate that hadn't been torn off yet. Ning Anlan changed into it in the locker room and walked out just like that.
In the past, her clothes were relatively plain, and after work, she mostly wore professional clothing. This kind of young girl's dress made the ancient city surprised for a moment.
The beige lace was just right at his collarbone. His faintly discernible collarbone white and sexy, even to his knees, swayed back and forth with Ning Anlan's footsteps, as if he could create lotuses with every step.
Gu Xian'er had a petite body and wore this dress like a real little girl. However, Ning Anlan was tall, so not only did wearing this dress increase the liveliness of many young girls, it also gave them a charming and elegant sexiness.
Fortunately, the shoes were not dirty. The silver inlaid crystal shoes did not seem out of place when matched with the dress. On the contrary, Ning Anlan was even more advanced. The reason why Ning Anlan chose the white dress was largely because of this shoe.
The old city casually looked at the clock. It was getting late, and it was time to go back.
"Grandfather, An Lan and I will be going back first. I'll get someone to bring the clothes back in two days."
The ancient city that hadn't said anything all this time finally made a sound, attracting everyone's gaze.
