As Gu Minghuai did not eat his meals on time, his stomach was already protesting when he saw such an attractive table of food, he didn't have time to be angry. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Ning Shan was happy when she saw his behavior and started eating quietly too. As she ate, she secretly glanced at the dark-eyed man opposite her with a burning gaze.
It was too obvious that she was peeping, thus it was difficult for Gu Minghuai not to notice it. After a long while, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him. "What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was willing to speak, Ning Shan smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Gu, you said today that you want me to be your fiancée, right?"
Gu Minghuai continued raising his eyebrows and looked straight at her without saying a word.
Ning Shan hurriedly said, "I thought about it after the incident. It was really rude of me to reject you so casually. I apologize to you."
Finally, does this young girl also know that she was rude? Gu Minghuai's face was gloomy. His slender fingers held the chopsticks as he smoothly brought the food into his mouth without any pause. He wanted to see what this girl was trying to do.
Thinking of the shocked faces that were holding in their laughter of the bodyguards and driver in the car today, he felt a wave of inexplicable anger in him.
The dignified president of the Gu Corporation, the respected and feared fourth master Gu of the prestigious families, was actually rejected twice by a girl from the countryside. If the person who disobeyed him wasn't Ning Shan, then that person would lose an arm or a leg by now.
Ning Shan continued at the other end of the dining table, "Mr. Gu, I've thought about it carefully. If you need my help, I'm willing to be your fiancée."
As she spoke, she carefully observed the man's actions.
Gu Minghuai's hand that was holding the chopsticks finally stopped. His expression was somehow gloomier than before. Was this reckless woman sympathizing with him? Was he so pitiful that he needed a woman to sympathize with him? Was he that uncharming that a woman agree to be his fiancée, just to return his favor?
Gu Minghuai's gaze gradually turned cold. In the end, he actually sneered.
Ning Shan's felt something was wrong. "Mr. Gu, look..."
"Clang!" Gu Minghuai put down his chopsticks and ignored her words and left directly.
"Mr. Gu!" Ning Shan called out loudly, but the wheelchair didn't stop at all.
In the next few days, Gu Minghuai and her fell into a cold war. Every time she met Gu Minghuai in the house, Ning Shan would always greet him politely.
"Mr. Gu, good morning. Have you eaten?"
"Mr. Gu, are you having dinner at home?"
"Mr. Gu, would you like to have some supper?"
But Gu Minghuai kept a cold expression on his face and ignored her.
As Ning Shan was ignored these past few days, she wasn't exactly in the best shape. She had been absent-minded the whole while when she visited Ning Zhiyuan at the hospital today.
"Shanshan, Shanshan?" Ning Zhiyuan saw that the spoon in his daughter's hand seemed to be about to fall off, but she was still in a daze. Her eyes were staring off into space, not knowing what she was thinking, he patted her arm.
Only then did Ning Shan come to her senses. She turned to look at her father. "Dad, are you calling me?"
Ning Zhiyuan sighed slightly. "Shanshan, tell me honestly. Did something happen? You've been absent-minded all morning."
Seeing that his daughter was silent, he asked tentatively, "Why? Did you have a fight with president Gu?"
He was spot on about Ning Shan's worries. Her eyelids twitched and she lied. "Dad, I've found a job now so I'm very tired every day. I just don't feel like talking, don't think about it too much."
