Gu Xi Jue's face was ashen as he pinched the phone. What did he mean by 'human today'?

"My dad said that a compassionate employee is what he should do as president." Gu Xi Jue tried his best to save his image.

"If you like it, tell your grandma to come visit again in the future. It's good to chat with her." When Madam Gu was mentioned, Xia Lan spoke in a much more courteous manner, treating him in a completely different manner.

"Then what did Xiao Ze say?" Xia Lan added a smile on her face and sent the message over.

This way, Gu Xi Jue could be at ease. This way, his answer proved that she hadn't told her mother anything. If she had, she wouldn't have said that.

Gu Xi Jue squinted his eyes and laughed, then replied: "I said that beautiful aunt is my father's."

Even if he said it casually, Gu Xi Jue seemed to have gotten away with it as he leisurely swung his legs a few times.

"Nonsense, your dad would have been the one to hear that." Xia Lan said embarrassedly. "Xiao Ze" no longer spouts nonsense.

"My dad knows. I've told him many times."

"Ah?" What did your father say? " Xia Lan was extremely shocked, he knew that this child would casually say that he was going to kill her every day.

"My dad didn't say anything. He just praised you for being pretty." Gu Xi Jue thought that since he was now Xiao Ze, these were definitely words that Xiao Ze could say normally.

"I'd be surprised if I believed you." Xia Lan knew that Xiao Ze was messing with him again.

"Xiao Ze, it's getting late. Go and sleep." Xia Lan chased Xiao Ze to sleep.

Gu Xi Jue thought, Xiao Ze had already gone to sleep, and now they were talking about Xiao Ze's father.

On the second day, as soon as Xia Lan entered the company, she called for the CEO's office.

After an afternoon's rest, Xia Lan had already adjusted herself to make sure that she did not bring personal matters into the work.

Xia Lan went to brew a cup of coffee for Gu Xi Jue before going over.

He placed the coffee on the table and asked softly, "Gourmet, are you looking for me?"

Gu Xi Jue raised his head, his expression completely stunned. This was because Xia Lan's eyes were as swollen as walnuts, and with a single glance, he could tell that he had been crying.

Crying for Xiao Yan?

It seemed that the grudge between them was much deeper than he had imagined.

Now, he secretly rejoiced that bringing Xia Lan to Gui Lin to participate in the opening ceremony was the right decision.

They came to Guilin on the eve of the opening ceremony and checked into the largest five-star hotel in Guilin.

It was much hotter here than in A City. As soon as he got off the plane, he could feel a wave of hot air blowing towards him.

Xia Lan couldn't take the heat anymore and took off her jacket. She was only wearing a suspenders and jeans.

Gu Xi Jue, who was walking behind her, couldn't help but feel his whole body tighten when he saw her moving attire.

Recently, he had become more and more unpromising, and this could even cause him to have a reaction. Could it be, he wondered, that it had been four years without a fight?

After exiting the airport, they each pushed a suitcase as they waited on the road. Someone had specially come to pick them up.

The next day was the opening ceremony. Xia Lan went to the hotel room and opened the chest. She brought along two sets of formal wear, she thought that this should be enough to accompany Gu Xi Jue.

Just as he hung up his clothes, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, it was Gu Xi Jue.

"Gourmet, are you still not going to rest?" Xia Lan blocked the door, showing no intention of entering.

Gu Xi Jue looked at her from the corner of his eyes, saw through her intentions, and took her hand away without a trace of politeness, then entered her room.

She looked around to make sure the window was intact before retracting her gaze. Recently, there had been news about a burglary in a hotel room late at night.

"He's packing his clothes?" He glanced at the box on the floor and asked.

"Mm, take out the dress you want to wear tomorrow and hang it up." She was afraid of the creases of the night.

"Just nice, take it out and let me take a look."

Xia Lan did not think about it, and took out the two gowns to show him.

"You only brought these two sets of dresses?"

Xia Lan looked at her formal attire: "What's wrong with it?"

"There will be a lot of reporters and celebrities tomorrow. Female celebrities will definitely compete with each other. Is this what you're going to wear?" Gu Xi Jue pointed to the clothes in her hands with a face full of disdain.

"Yeah, I even brought two sets to assist you."

"Those who walk the red carpet tomorrow are all top heavyweights at home and abroad. All of them will put in effort on their clothes. You are too low-key when it comes to wearing these." Gu Xi Jue was very unsatisfied with these two sets of clothes. They covered him from head to toe, not like an outing.

"They're celebrities, but I'm not. Why would I wear such beautiful clothes? It's not like the reporters will take pictures of me." Xia Lan felt that it was good like this, this was not a place for her to show off. Furthermore, she did not want to show off, her mission tomorrow would be to accompany Gu Xi Jue on the red carpet.

"I knew I couldn't count on you. Just you wait." With that, Gu Xi Jue stood up and walked out.

Xia Lan laid out the two sets of clothes on the bed. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was pretty good.

After a while, Gu Xi Jue came back with a box in his hands. On the box was an Italian word that Xia Lan did not recognize, but he recognized the logo. It was an Italian luxury brand logo.

Xia Lan opened the box and saw that it was indeed a dress. She turned her head to look at Gu Xi Jue and asked with an unclear expression, "This is … Gourmet, did you buy it? "

Gu Xi Jue suddenly felt a little awkward, and denied it with all his might: "What are you thinking about, I got Luo Song to buy it, it's a public expense."

"Oh!" Xia Lan was at ease now. It was good that the money was not for Gu Xi Jue to buy for her.

She could wear it without worry, or else …

She didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Xi Jue anymore, otherwise, it would be even more chaotic.

"Go and change." Gu Xi Jue was getting impatient waiting.

Xia Lan nodded her head and carried her gown into the bathroom.

Gu Xi Jue chased after her all the way until the bathroom door closed. A devil suddenly appeared in his heart, he especially wanted to rush in right now, but he obviously wouldn't do that, because it wasn't something a gentleman would do.

No matter how lacking of women he, Gu Xi Jue, was, he would not be unable to do such a thing.

Five minutes later, Xia Lan walked out from inside, causing Gu Xi Jue's eyes to light up. This dress really did suit him.
