As the night darkened, the gorgeous manor was tranquil.
The large European-style living room was still lit up as four men sat around the coffee table.
“In my opinion, let Ah Liao settle this matter. He’s the most suitable.” Gu Xia crossed his legs leisurely and smiled at the young man sitting in the corner of the sofa.
The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. With an otherworldly handsome face, his whole body emitted an unapproachable aura.
Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu looked at Shen Liao as well.
Gu Xia was right.
Shen Liao was more suitable to play the bad guy.
He wasn’t short on doing a lot of monstrous things, anyway.
Shen Liao raised his good-looking eyebrows and said unhurriedly, “Why me? It’s you guys who don’t want Jiaojiao to date, not me.”
“Oh, come on.” Gu Xia rolled his eyes elegantly at him. “Who was the one who completely disregarded his work and rushed back the moment he heard that Jiaojiao was in a puppy love?”
Shen Liao glanced at him. “It was because I couldn’t wait to see what kind of man can attract Jiaojiao.”
“Is that so?” Yan Zhengchen curled his thin lips slightly and looked at him sharply with his dark eyes. “Ah Liao, your ears turn red when you lie.”
Shen Liao immediately raised his hands to touch his ears. Indeed, his earlobes were a little hot.
He shrugged his shoulders dejectedly.
“Let me say this first, I’m not against Jiaojiao dating.” Gong Lu reached out to loosen his tie. “But we have to see if that boy is worthy of her.”
Gu Xia looked at Shen Liao again. “Ah Liao, I’ve already sent the details of that boy to your email. Aren’t you curious? You can go and meet him.”
“What about Chi Yexi?” Shen Liao felt that Chi Yexi was more suited to do such things than him.
“Chi Yexi just joined the production team and won’t be out for a few days.” Gu Xia smiled and said, “You have to be the one to do this. We’ll be waiting for your news.”
Shen Liao glared at him with his beautiful light-brown eyes. “Go with me.”
“I’m very busy,” Gu Xia said. “I’m going back to see Old Master with Gong Lu tomorrow. Old Master has summoned us.”
With that, he glanced at Gong Lu.
Gong Lu pretended not to notice Gu Xia’s gaze as he said indifferently, “I can go back and see the Old Master myself. He didn’t ask for you.”
After being embarrassed so quickly, awkwardness flashed across Gu Xia’s exquisite, doll-like face.
He looked at Gong Lu with an extremely resentful gaze and said word by word, “Gong Lu, be more humane.”
“Then, it’s settled. Ah Liao and Gu Xia will go together.” Yan Zhengchen made the final decision and looked sideways at Shen Liao. “Ah Liao, be appropriate in handling this. It’s best if Jiaojiao doesn’t know about this.”
Otherwise, with that little girl’s fiercely protective nature, she would definitely be unhappy with them.
Shen Liao nodded.
Gu Xia was afraid that Chi Jiao would be unhappy if she knew that they had gone to look for Quan Jue. He slumped onto the sofa in despair. “If we can’t hide it anymore, you guys were the ones who forced me to go. It has nothing to do with me.”
He was most afraid of Jiaojiao’s anger.
Although Jiaojiao looked soft like cotton candy, no one could bear it when she was angry.
“You guys should rest early.” Yan Zhengchen slowly stood up. “Gong Lu, come with me for a while.”
Gong Lu followed him to his room.
The black-and-white room decor emitted a faint coldness that suited Yan Zhengchen’s personality.
