C834 You Should Just Give up on That Thought
Gu Qi returned home. She looked like a lost dog that had finally returned home. She looked very excited.
"Dad, I'm back. Do you miss your beautiful daughter?"
"Little bastard, where are you going?"
"I'm at school. Where else can I go? I'm not busy with my studies, so I came back quickly."
Gu Qi was able to achieve excellent results in school every year, so the Gu family had never doubted her.
"You came back just in time. I've already invited many guests. Little girl, last time you promised me that you would announce your marriage with Nangong brat at the latest at your birthday party."
"Dad, no, I already have someone I like. I came back this time to tell you not to worry about me. The son-in-law I found for you is very powerful!"
"You mean Luo?"
Uncle Gu's expression changed when he saw Luo and Gu Qi walking very close to each other.
"Girl, I'm warning you that Luo can't. He's so fickle and he's in the casino business. My Gu family can't have a son-in-law like this."
"Dad, where are you going? I only treat Luo as my brother. I don't have any romantic feelings with him."
Unless they were of a lower status than the Luo family, a man who liked to play outside would not be willing to marry his daughter to him.
The Gu family and Luo were both one of the top ten families. Naturally, the Gu family would not be willing to marry their daughter to him.
"It's good that you don't have her. Then who do you like?"
"I..."
Gu Qi wanted to tell Uncle Gu about Munan Shu, but when she thought about how mysterious Munan Shu's work was, he did not even tell her.
Her birthday was about to arrive. What if he had something to do and could not come?
"Tell me, who is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes. He's tall and handsome, and he'll definitely get along with you."
"Little girl, don't think that I'll believe you just because you say that. You've made up a hundred lies to avoid getting engaged.
" If you really have a boyfriend, bring him out for us to see now. "
Gu Qi could only say, "He is busy with work. If you don't believe me, I will call him."
As Gu Qi spoke, she dialed Munan Shu's number and turned on the speaker. A very cold female voice came from the phone, indicating that Munan Shu was temporarily unable to connect.
"This is your boyfriend?" Uncle Gu clearly did not believe it. He felt that this was a random number Gu Qi dialed.
"He is doing research. He should be in the lab right now. There is no signal there. Dad, trust me."
"Okay, okay, okay, I trust you. Your grandfather and I invited Nangong over. Be more polite later."
"Dad, I really have a boyfriend."
"I know, but I've already invited him over. You can't let me chase him away again, right?"
Gu Qi looked helpless, "Alright then. Tomorrow, you are not allowed to announce the marriage on my birthday. My boyfriend promised me that he would definitely come to my birthday banquet."
"Good, good, good. What a long-winded little girl. Look, Nangong brat is here. Go and receive him. Dinner will be served in a while."
Gu Qi then walked towards Nangong Lih with her skirt. "Brother Nangong, you're here."
Nangong Lih looked at the smiling girl running towards him. It was the same as the dream he had experienced many times.
How nice would it be if this little girl had him in her heart?
"Qi Qi."
"Brother Nangong, I've got someone to prepare a gift for you. It'll be a while before you eat. Come with me."
"Alright."
In the yard, Gu Qi asked Nangong Lih to wait for her here. She walked into the garden.
After a while, Gu Qi came out with a peacock in her arms, "Look, Brother Nangong, what is this?"
Gu Qi threw the peacock to the ground. "When I was young, I was insensible. I cut off the tail of the peacock that you kept. I asked someone to bring it back from China. Do you think it looks like the peacock that I cut off?"
After many years, Nangong Lih had no feelings for the peacock. In his eyes, this peacock was not much different from the one Gu Qi cut.
"Silly peacock, turn on the screen." Gu Qi poked the peacock's head with her finger. The peacock did not care about her at all.
"Luckily I am prepared." She was wearing a very beautiful dress today. Gu Qi began to show her flower dress in front of Peacock.
"Silly Peacock, I am prettier than you." Gu Qi jumped around like a little rabbit.
Nangong Lih could not help but smile when he saw her innocent and cute appearance.
This was why he had missed Gu Qi for so many years. He should have forgotten about her a long time ago.
After Gu Qi rejected him, he wanted to give up every time. But when he thought of her smiling face, Nangong Lih could not bear to part with it.
What if there was really a chance?
Old Master Gu and Uncle Gu who were not far away saw this scene and smiled in relief.
"Look, this girl is quite compatible with Nangong, isn't she?"
"This bastard girl just wanted to lie to me that she already has a boyfriend. " She's just a hooligan, she's not calm. "
"Her talent can completely jump ranks and finish reading. When she takes over the Gu family, it'll be much smoother with Nangong brat by the side to help her.
Moreover, Old Man Nangong and I have already agreed that the marriage between the two children will definitely be announced tomorrow. "
Uncle Gu shook his head. "But this child is too mischievous. She still wants to refuse the marriage."
"It's okay. I am ready." Old Master Gu smiled mysteriously. "I guarantee that the engagement dinner will be held smoothly tomorrow night."
Gu Qi did not know about all of this. She and Peacock were playing in the yard. After playing with each other for a long time, they finally managed to tease Peacock away.
"Brother Nangong, look. Peacock has opened its screen. Look carefully."
She was making a scene. She was laughing while he was only looking at her. Her beauty was not as beautiful as the smile on her lips.
"Yes, she is very beautiful." He was not commenting on Peacock, but Gu Qi.
The corner of Gu Qi's mouth rose, "Little Peacock, you must be obedient. From now on, this will be your new master."
Nangong Lih could not help but ask, "Why do you want to give me a peacock?"
"Because I owe you. Now that I return the peacock to you, we will not owe each other anything in the future."2
Nangong Lih's smile froze. Gu Qi was a smart girl. She knew Nangong Lih's feelings for her.
If he really gave up, he would not come to the banquet tonight. His arrival proved that he did not give up.
But she only had one heart. She could not give it to anyone else.
Since she could not give him any feelings, then from the start, she had to seal off all hope.
"Write it off?"
Gu Qi's smile did not fade, "Brother Nangong, I told you I am not a good match for you. Last time in Paris, I know you are worried about me.
I am very sorry. I only have him in my heart and I do not intend to be separated from him in the future. Brother Nangong, forget about me."
Nangong Lih said coldly, "Gu Qi, do you really think that the Nangong Family's reputation is worthless? That's why I let you trample on me again and again."
"I'm sorry. It's my family's problem. They always thought that we would have a chance to be together. I will explain it to them and visit your family."
"Miss, Mr. Nangong, let's talk later. It's time to eat."
Nangong Lih was going to leave, but the precious blood in his body did not allow him to do such a rude thing.
No matter what happened between him and Gu Qi, it was the elders of the Gu family who invited him.
Even if the two families could not become in-laws, the fact that the two families were world friends was something that could not be changed.
Nangong Lih went to the restaurant coldly. The elders of the Gu family did not know what had happened to them.
Nangong Lih handled it well and did not let anyone notice anything.
Old Master Gu kept praising Nangong Lih and even asked Gu Qi to give him a toast. Gu Qi obediently did as he said.
Wait. When Munan Shu came tomorrow, everything would be easy. She felt that the Gu family would definitely like Munan Shu very much.
After the meal, she found an excuse to slip away. If she didn't, the two of them would definitely let her and Nangong Lih stay together.
Gu Qi went back to her room. She didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she felt a little dizzy.
Did she drink too much today? But her alcohol tolerance was so good that she would not be so drunk at this point.
She thought: Take a bath and sleep. You can't go to a nightclub to dance tonight.
Gu Qi took a bath and seemed to be even more dizzy. What was going on? Not only did she feel dizzy, but she also felt hot.
At this moment, Gu Qi heard a knock on the door. Who was at this hour?
She opened the door and Nangong Lih stood at the door.
"Brother Nangong, is something the matter?" Gu Qi thought he had left.
Nangong Lih's face was dark. "Your grandfather said the light bulb in your room was broken. He asked me to change the light bulb. I couldn't refuse and had to come over."
He held the light bulb in his hand and seemed very reluctant.
