"Meimei?" Le Zhengsheng thought for a moment, "Ah... a classmate from Holy City, the girl who really liked you, right?"

"That’s her!" Little Mantou crossed his arms, looking helpless, "She has rebelled."

Le Zhengsheng held back his laughter, "Didn’t you not like her? You found her annoying for always following you around."

"Tsk!" Little Mantou clicked his tongue, "I used to! But now that she’s not following me, I feel uncomfortable. A-Sheng, you know, Meimei is actually quite nice... among the girls who follow me, she’s the prettiest. Her temper is good too; no matter how fierce I am, she doesn’t get angry."

"Oh." Le Zhengsheng couldn’t help but smile, "So what do you want to do?"

Little Mantou thought for a bit, "A-Sheng, accompany me to buy a gift, okay? I left Holy City without telling her this time. She must be mad, that’s why she’s not calling or emailing me. Sending her a gift should appease her. Women, aren’t they all like this?"

Le Zhengsheng finally laughed, "Where do you get these ideas from? Your dad isn’t like this!"

"Pfft." Little Mantou scoffed, "I just don’t want to regret it. What if there’s never another Meimei in the future?"

Le Zhengsheng’s smile suddenly froze, those words... was he hinting at something?

"A-Sheng, let’s go!"

"Oh, okay."

Le Zhengsheng started the car, but his mind was in turmoil.

Even a kid like Little Mantou knows not to miss out, so what about him?

Does he really have no feelings for Gu Xiaoning?

It seems, not really...

All these years, aside from Yu Sangwan, Gu Xiaoning is the only girl he’s cared about.

He worries if she has money to eat if her father comes to her door to beat her again? Will she be cold when she works night shifts? Can she really rest well on her days off? She must be working at home! Otherwise, she also has to take care of Little Zheng.

What is this feeling?

Is it love? Le Zhengsheng shook his head, he doesn’t know.

However, at this moment, he’s influenced by Little Mantou...

He feels like he should do something. What if he regrets it in the future? Will there be another Gu Xiaoning?

Gu Xiaoning went on a blind date... Her date is a short stub, but he has some money.

Le Zhengsheng raised his hand and slammed it on the steering wheel!

Damn it, is he being threatened by a short stub?

...

As a result, Le Zhengsheng went to the Gu Family again.

But the Gu Family’s door was locked.

Le Zhengsheng kept pressing the doorbell, a neighbor heard and stuck out their head, "Hey! Who are you looking for?"

Le Zhengsheng smiled slightly, "I’m looking for Gu Xiaoning. Is there no one at home? Did they take Little Zheng for treatment?"

"Oh." The neighbor nodded, "The Gu family, they’re out. The Gu girl is getting married, both families have plans to discuss the wedding..."

What? Le Zhengsheng’s expression stiffened, and his smile faded... Gu Xiaoning, the girl! She’s moving so fast? Does money really solve everything?

Seeing Le Zhengsheng standing there without leaving, the neighbor asked, "Are you a... relative of the Gu family?"

Le Zhengsheng quickly nodded, "Yes, may I ask, where did they arrange to meet?"

"Oh..." The neighbor smiled, "I really know this, you know what? I introduced this partner to the Gu girl. He’s really nice, to accommodate the Gu family, he didn’t go far, just at the restaurant right out of the alley."

Le Zhengsheng shot her a look, if that’s the case, he should thank her, huh! A million thanks!

"Thank you."

Le Zhengsheng held back his anger and turned away. Restaurant at the alley entrance? I seem to remember it a little.

Finding the place, it’s too small.

Le Zhengsheng frowned, walking in.

Inside the private room, the two families were meeting.

Little Zheng was dressed neatly, with shirt buttons meticulously fastened. Since entering, he’s been holding Gu Xiaoning’s hand.

The man saw this and laughed, "Little Zheng is very well-behaved!"

"Yes." Gu’s sister smiled, "Little Zheng just doesn’t like to talk, otherwise, he’s not much trouble..."

"That’s good, that’s good."

The private room door was knocked on, ’knock knock’ sounded.

The man immediately stood up, "Must be the food arriving! Quite quick! Have some more, Xiao Ning and Xiao Zheng are too skinny, once they’re part of our family, everyone will get chubby! Haha..."

"Hehe."

Gu Xiaoning forced a dry laugh, feeling increasingly bitter inside.

Unexpectedly, the door opened... but it was Le Zhengsheng who walked in.

How to put it?

Le Zhengsheng is the kind of person who carries his own aura, his natural nobility stands out here... clearly not a middle or lower-class commoner.

"This, who is this?" The man lost his breath, "Sir, you must be in the wrong place?"

Gu’s sister and Gu Xiaoning were both stunned, quite surprised.

Especially Gu Xiaoning, why did he come?

Le Zhengsheng came straight over, pulled out the chair next to Gu Xiaoning and sat down, slinging his arm over the back of her chair, it looked like he had Gu Xiaoning in his embrace.

"Hello everyone, I’m a relative of the Gu family."

Gu’s sister was stunned, quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, A-Sheng is a relative of ours."

The man listened and laughed.

This man obviously isn’t ordinary, and the Gu family still has such a relative? In that case, this marriage is bound to be profitable, no loss!

"Really?" The man stood up and poured tea for Le Zhengsheng, "Please, have some tea."

"Thank you, very kind." Le Zhengsheng gave the man a sideways glance and suddenly stood up. Just like that, his tall stature... compared to the man, the man really lacked height!

Gu Xiaoning looked up at him, silently protesting... Did you do this on purpose?

Le Zhengsheng smirked, implying to her... Yes, I did it on purpose! Short stub!

"Hehe." The man awkwardly laughed, quickly sat back down.

Le Zhengsheng listened with nothing to do, overhearing them exchange irrelevant chatter.

Turning back, he saw Little Zheng playing with a Rubik’s Cube. Suddenly, an idea struck.

He extended his hand in front of Little Zheng, "Little Zheng, let Brother take a look."

Little Zheng didn’t look up, didn’t speak, acting as if he hadn’t heard, but... he obediently lifted his hand, placing the Rubik’s Cube into Le Zhengsheng’s palm.

Even Gu’s sister and Gu Xiaoning were taken aback by this... Little Zheng listens to Le Zhengsheng so well?

Le Zhengsheng held the Rubik’s Cube, placing it in front of the man, with a faint smile, "Do you know how to play?"

The man scratched his head, "This, this... I can turn it around, but getting one color on one side, that’s impossible!"

Pfft...

Even the waiter standing nearby couldn’t help but laugh, was this man sent by the monkeys to be funny?

Gu Xiaoning glared at Le Zhengsheng, she could tell, he’s here to make trouble!

Le Zhengsheng glared back, what? Heartache for your boyfriend because I’m giving him a hard time?

I’m going to mess with him today! Short stub!

"Give it a try!"

Le Zhengsheng wouldn’t let up, pushing the Rubik’s Cube towards the man, "You’re just sitting idle anyway."

The man had no choice but to take it, fumbling with it in his hand, messing up the progress Little Zheng had painstakingly made.
