"My wine! I get to decide!"
Cassie took the red wine from her hand and set it aside.
His eyes were a light brown, with not much of the whites showing, but they were especially bright.
It was as if in the midst of a world blanketed with snow, a quiet light brown crystal sphere lay peacefully.
Without any impurity, clear and sparkling.
Whenever he stared at Gu Xinzhou, that purity and clarity gave her a sense of witnessing a fairy tale at the moment the snow began to melt.
His hair was originally brown, and under the sunlight, it had a noble texture.
Just because she had mentioned in passing that she only liked men with black hair,
He went and dyed his hair black.
That dye lasted for a very long time.
So long that she was almost about to forget what his brown hair looked like.
In fact, tracing back Cassie's affection for her was not difficult.
But she realized it belatedly, always wrapped up in his love and assistance, forgetting to look back at the person he truly was.
"I'm sorry," Gu Xinzhou felt uncomfortably sad, "From now on, I won't influence your decisions.
However, Cassie, today our main goal is to act out a scene and then return to Italy together.
In my heart, you will always be my best friend."
Cassie earnestly said, "I suddenly remembered a song."
Gu Xinzhou was stunned, "Ah?"
Cassie: "I've moved heaven, I've moved earth, but I couldn't move you."
Gu Xinzhou: "..."
Seeing her with no reaction, Cassie awkwardly turned away.
He wiped his face fiercely, feeling embarrassed.
He just wanted to lighten the atmosphere, to tell her a joke.
But unexpectedly, the joke was somewhat cold for her.
When he turned back again, he found that Gu Xinzhou had laughed.
Her laughter was tranquil and bright, like a quiet little daisy on an autumn day, serene and lovely.
Cassie laughed too, "Let's go to the restaurant, it's better to wait there first."
Gu Xinzhou gazed at the three exquisite gift boxes on the floor.
They were probably for Gu Yibo, Zhuang Xiuya, and Gu Xinfei.
Her relationship with Zhuang Xiuya wasn't good.
Moreover, she had never mentioned the fact that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Gu Family to any overseas friends.
Up to now, Cassie still thought Zhuang Xiuya was her biological mother.
That was also the reason Gu Yibo registered her under Zhuang Xiuya's name in the beginning.
Gu Yibo wanted to give her a better origin.
If nothing else, to find a son-in-law to take back home, so that she would not face a harsh in-law family criticizing her birth and making her suffer.
Gu Yibo's sincere care for her, she understood.
But something like origin was only deceiving to those who came after.
The noble families born and bred in B city, who didn't know how she came about?
There stood Gu Xinzhou, her eyes fixed on the gift boxes on the floor, her eyelashes wetting bit by bit.
Her mind raced through many things.
She even thought of her childhood, when Song Zhen took her and Gu Xinfei to the Song Family to play, and how Song Zhen's father treated her so differently from Gu Xinfei.
Even from childhood to adulthood, the red envelopes with New Year's money Song Zhen's father gave her and Gu Xinfei were one thick, one thin.
Sorrow layered upon sorrow in her eyes, turning red bit by bit.
Outside, she was always looked down upon and laughed at by the elite circles of B city.
At home, she appeared pampered and well-cared for, but Zhuang Xiuya had laid traps in her path of upbringing, always shocking her with sudden jolts.
These grievances and bitter feelings, invisible and untraceable, caused heartache!
A tear fell from her eye!
Gu Xinzhou suddenly snapped out of her daze.
A handsome hand quickly caught the tear.
