Gu Nian was thinking that if the day ever came when her heart remained calm upon hearing the name "Fu Jingshen," undisturbed by praise or criticism, she might truly have attained some higher level of composure.
Gu Nian lightly pursed her lips and murmured, "You saw Mr. Fu's attitude toward me yesterday, I am nothing but a stranger to him."
"The prouder the man, the more deliberately he hides his feelings."
Gu Nian: "..."
Hearing Jing Rui speak without his usual rogue-like tone, Gu Nian looked up in surprise.
This version of Jing Rui really didn't seem like the one she knew.
Jing Rui, appearing carefree on the surface, was actually transparent in thought; his roguishness was merely a man's disguise.
With a faint curve to her lips, Gu Nian took the initiative to say, "Jing Shao and I are merely business partners, and as for my private affairs with Fu Jingshen, I don't think Jing Shao has any interest in gossip."
