Lin Yuexi thought for a moment.
An image of Gu Xinzhou at nineteen came to mind.
His face was full of collagen, beaming with a grin like a little pest, always following Song Zhen around.
"That illegitimate daughter?"
Lin Yuexi's tone was harsh.
He knew his younger sister was much more beautiful than his older sister.
But his younger sister's infatuation with Song Zhen showed that her nature was shallow.
His older sister, however, dared to torment Song Zhen, repeatedly rejecting him and causing him heartache, which made her much more endearing than his younger sister.
Gu Xinfei was in a dilemma, her voice soft, "No, don't call her an illegitimate child.
No matter how she treats me, she's still my sister!
I...
I wasn't cautious enough, I didn't expect her to have arranged reporters waiting for me."
Lin Yuexi parked the car by a lake.
There was a road by the lake, lined with rows of poplar trees.
The wind made the leaves rustle, and the dappled sunlight under the trees resonated with the golden shards scattered across the lake's surface by the waves.
On the lake, a few fat wild ducks were swimming.
Picturesque and charming.
Lin Yuexi lowered the car window halfway, and Gu Xinfei leaned forward, looking out through the car door.
She smiled and said, "Yuexi, does City B have such nice places? How come I never knew about them?"
"Artificial lake," Lin Yuexi laughed, pointing to the villa area being developed across the lake, "That's our family's property project, specially designed with the lake and trees for the new residential area."
Gu Xinfei gazed at the opposite shore.
Indeed, a construction team was at work.
She remarked, "The Lin Family's business is growing larger and larger."
Lin Yuexi was silent.
He slowly got out of the car, taking a bunch of delicate roses from the trunk.
They were meant for a model.
The Lin Family's real estate was recently looking for a spokesperson, and to promote the new property, they had organized a nationwide competition for new models, with the winner becoming the spokesperson.
Countless models yearned to bed Lin Yuexi.
He, of course, welcomed them all.
He was also kind and cherished beauty.
Looking at the flowers in his hands, he smiled, feeling that encountering Gu Xinfei today made the flowers even more worthwhile.
He walked to the side of the car.
He opened the car door, his amber-colored eyes gazing deeply at Gu Xinfei.
Gu Xinfei looked up at him, not understanding what he was about to do.
But then, he stepped back, and gently brought out a bunch of roses from behind his back and handed them to her.
Gu Xinfei was completely taken by surprise!
Her emotions were half stuck in the terrible situation earlier, and half contemplating how to charm Lin Yuexi.
Gazing at the flowers in front of her, she was somewhat bewildered, "This..."
"Xinfeng," Lin Yuexi said tenderly, "knowing you were back, I didn't dare to look for you.
Because I heard that Song Zhen has been visiting the Gu Family frequently these days.
As Song Zhen and I were college classmates and close friends, I've always repressed my feelings for you.
But...
I really can't lie to my heart.
I don't know if it's fate pitying me, but just when I had decided to buy flowers and visit the Gu Family, I received your call.
Xinfeng, you don't know how excited and heartbroken I was to hear you cry over the phone!
I didn't want you to shed a single tear!
I was also thrilled that in such a critical moment, you thought of me first!
Xinfeng, I truly, truly love you so much!
I'm asking you, please give me a chance to be my girlfriend!"
