The gaze didn't move away; she initially wanted to see what kind of girl it was, but unexpectedly, the girl suddenly pointed at her with delight and then ran over here, calling out happily, "Gigi!"
Since the gallery was quite quiet, with everyone talking in low voices, her exclamation was also called out in a low voice.
Gu Qimiao hadn't reacted yet when she eagerly grabbed her hand, exclaiming excitedly in a low voice, "Gigi! It's really you!"
Not expecting to be recognized, Gu Qimiao smiled awkwardly and then saw Shen Yanchen walking over.
The girl immediately turned her head and said to him, "Big brother! This is Gigi, not only are the paintings beautiful, but she is also very pretty, right?!"
Shen Yanchen nodded at Gu Qimiao, expressionless, and gave a "hmm" sound.
Gu Moming looked at him with hostility, his face full of displeasure, then possessively pulled Gu Qimiao closer to himself.
"Are you free for lunch?" Shen Yanchen suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on Gu Qimiao.
Gu Qimiao was stunned for two seconds before nodding, but behind her, Gu Moming responded, "No."
"I'm free!" Gu Qimiao hurriedly interrupted.
Shen Yanchen raised an eyebrow, glanced at Gu Moming, then turned his gaze back to Gu Qimiao, saying, "Then let's have lunch together."
Shen Qiaoxiao was overjoyed at the thought of eating with a master.
Then, thinking her big brother wasn't the type to flirt with girls, she asked, "Do you guys know each other?"
Shen Yanchen nodded, but introduced to Gu Qimiao, "This is my sister, Shen Qiaoxiao."
Xiaoxiao immediately added sweetly, "You can just call me Xiaoxiao!"
Gu Qimiao felt relieved, so she was his sister...
With admiration, Xiaoxiao enthusiastically dragged Gu Qimiao to look at her paintings, while the two men followed behind, giving each other the stare-down.
It was clear that Xiaoxiao was a simple and straightforward girl; her likes and dislikes were written all over her face, very pure.
Seeing how much Xiaoxiao liked Gu Qimiao's works and with her birthday approaching, Shen Yanchen generously bought a painting for her, more than 200,000.
This amount might not be much for him, but seeing him hand over the card so nonchalantly, Gu Qimiao once again felt the disparity between them.
When they went for lunch, although Gu Moming was angry, he wouldn't leave Gu Qimiao alone, so he followed with a stern face.
The restaurant chosen by Shen Yanchen was in the business center; from the decor, it was evident that the food here would not be cheap.
The European palace style radiated a golden glow from the crystal chandelier, adding a touch of elegance to the luxury.
"Let's sit here." Gu Moming pulled Gu Qimiao to a four-person long table by the wall, seated Gu Qimiao on the burgundy sofa and then sat beside her himself.
Shen Yanchen had to stop, glanced at Gu Qimiao, then turned slightly to let Xiaoxiao sit inside, opposite Gu Qimiao.
It was apparent that the sibling relationship was still very good.
Shen Yanchen and Gu Moming sat on the edge seats, exchanged glances, with Gu Moming looking somewhat smug while Shen Yanchen just gave him a cold glance, then turned to accept the menu handed over by the waiter, asking Gu Qimiao, "What do you want to eat?"
Gu Qimiao smiled constrainedly, "Anything, what does Xiaoxiao want to eat?"
Xiaoxiao, unaware of the subtle tension at the meal, was just happy to eat with the master she had long admired, couldn't hide her smile, and also replied, "Anything is fine."
Sitting next to Gu Qimiao, Gu Moming then snatched the menu, "Then I'll order."
