As if he was worried that his boss would not believe him, Gu Hanzhang walked straight to Chaoli and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her waist.
Chaoli stiffened. This man's hand had never touched her waist, but she felt that the warmth from his palm had spread to her waist through his clothes.
What was Gu Hanzhang thinking in his heart when he made such an action outside?
Even if you are worried that your boss won't believe you, there are other ways, and it doesn't have to be so close.
Lu Xiuyuan stood there, he suddenly lowered his head and suppressed the emotion in his eyes.
Seeing this, Song Lingxin thought to herself: Don't these two people have relationship problems?
She seemed to have thought of something again, and she quickly calmed down, secretly blaming herself for thinking too much.
Also, they need to be careful when going out, not to mention that Gu Hanzhang didn't really hold Chaoli's waist.
The boss froze on the spot and observed carefully. Only when he saw the two of them being so intimate did he want to believe it.
"Well, the young master just now is your elder brother, and this young master is the husband of this young lady. It seems that your family is smart. In this case, you can be considered the leader. You can choose any one of the three lanterns.
"The boss sighed.
Before Gu Hanzhang and Chaoli could speak, Shen Lianyi walked up.
"Your Majesty, I think the lantern in the middle is the most beautiful."
Hearing this, a coldness flashed in Chaoli's eyes.
The lantern Shen Lianyi was talking about was the mandala lantern she was thinking about, which she had won by trying hard to guess riddles.
The matter itself had nothing to do with Shen Lianyi, but Gu Hanzhang guessed the last answer, and it was not without his contribution.
In this case, if he proposes to give the lantern to Shen Lianyi, what should she do?
Chaoli raised his head slightly and looked straight at Gu Hanzhang.
"Your Majesty, which one do you want me to choose?"
Gu Hanzhang's Adam's apple slid up and down, but he did not speak.
For some reason, he saw a trace of sadness in Chaoli's eyes. She seemed to be waiting for an answer, an answer that would make her give up completely.
If his answer doesn't satisfy her, maybe she will do something irreversible that will make him regret it.
Strange, why does he feel like this?
Almost subconsciously, Gu Hanzhang expressed his thoughts.
"what ever."
If Chaoli doesn't choose that lantern, he will find another way to get what he wants, no matter how troublesome it is, but this cannot be based on forcing Chaoli.
Just two words completely relieved Chaoli's hanging heart.
Shen Lianyi's face was very ugly. She had always heard that Gu Hanzhang had no feelings for Chaoli, and the two of them slept in separate rooms in the house, not together.
However, now he actually cares so much about Chaoli's thoughts.
Thinking of this, Shen Lianyi's eyes were full of hatred.
Chaoli didn't care what she thought. At this moment, she couldn't tell what she was happy about, but she knew how to suppress this emotion.
"Miss Shen's vision is almost the same as mine. When I came here, I already told you that I wanted that mandala lantern. The boss can testify to this. Since my husband won the lantern for me, I must choose to like it."
Yes, my husband said to follow me anyway." Chaoli said shyly.
Everyone present was stunned when they heard the word 'husband' coming out of Chaoli's mouth.
Gu Hanzhang calmed down, knowing that Chaoli was deliberately making a show in front of Shen Lianyi, but he still felt that at that moment, his heart fluctuated.
if
His thoughts faded away, and Gu Hanzhang came back to his senses. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if the moment of confusion was just an illusion.
Lu Xiuyuan's expression remained unchanged, but the hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and veins appeared on the back of his hands.
Shen Lianyi's face was a little pale, but he still forced a smile.
"Yes, it turns out we all have such good tastes."
Even though he said this, Shen Lianyi's eyes were on Gu Hanzhang without hesitation.
The implication is that both of them have good taste, look at people the same way, and both fall in love with the same man.
Song Lingxin was not stupid. When she heard what Shen Lianyi said, she couldn't control her anger. She always felt that there was something in Shen Lianyi's words.
"Miss Shen must also be here to guess the lantern riddles. Ah Li, let's not disturb her. Let's get the lanterns and leave quickly. Didn't we make an appointment to buy river lanterns and put them on the bank of the long river? After putting them out, we can still enjoy them. Don’t delay the juggling performances along the way." Song Lingxin said with a smile.
Song Lingxin spoke in a calm voice, but looked at Shen Lianyi with undisguised disgust.
Shen Lianyi was so angry that she had a headache. No one had ever dared to talk to her like this.
"I came out alone and wanted to be with you," Shen Lianyi said in a low voice.
"Oh, Miss Shen, don't worry. The city is heavily guarded today and nothing will happen. If you encounter anything, Miss Shen might as well shout loudly or mention Mr. Shen's name, and no one will be so blind." Song Lingxin directly interrupted Shen Lianyi's words and took Chaoli's arm, "Let's go, Ah Li, let's get the mandala lantern."
Seeing how Song Lingxin defended her, Chaoli didn't deliberately suppress the smile on his face.
“Very good.”
In her previous life, she alienated Song Lingxin because of Gu Hanzhang. That was really out of her mind. What qualifications did Gu Hanzhang have to ask her to give up her best friend who had been with her for many years?
The sisters walked up to the boss as if no one else was around and took over the mandala lantern that the boss had picked just now.
"Guys, please go slowly."
Although the leader was taken off, the boss was not a loser and was still very happy because the people behind him did not need to worry about this matter and it was considered to be in the hands of the right person.
"You guys go first. I made an appointment with my friends. Seeing that the time is almost up, I left first." Lu Xiuyuan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Chao Li smiled slightly. In fact, she could tell that Lu Xiuyuan was making friends out of thin air.
"That's fine. Brother Xiuyuan, you go and do your work. Ling Xin and I will go put out the river lanterns together."
"Okay." Lu Xiuyuan turned around.
Song Ling looked at Lu Xiuyuan's back, feeling sad in her heart. He looked very lonely.
Chaoli didn't notice anything wrong with Song Lingxin, "Ling Xin, let's go."
Gu Hanzhang did not speak, but after Chaoli and Song Lingxin left, he spontaneously followed them without speaking to Shen Lianyi.
Chaoli and Song Lingxin talked while walking, and soon left Gu Hanzhang behind. They did not notice that Gu Hanzhang was following them not far or near. Only Qing Yi and Zi Yuan felt uncomfortable.
For the first time, they walked in front of Gu Hanzhang.
It didn't take long for Chaoli and Song Lingxin to buy river lanterns, three for each of them, while Qingyi and Ziyuan only had one.
It's not that the two maids were reluctant to spend some money, but they only had one wish.
When he arrived at the Changhe River, Chao Li turned around and was about to ask Qing Yi for charcoal, but he found someone who shouldn't be here.
