He will be the master of the Gu Family.
Gu Xichen arranged for the entire Gu Family Mansion to be renovated and rebuilt. After giving instructions to his subordinates, he went to the company.
Although everyone was unclear about some truths, they dared not speculate wildly for fear of losing their jobs.
Jingsheng followed behind him, the image of a female bodyguard. Besides being responsible for protection and basic errands, there was nothing else to do.
Before entering the office, the secretary handed him a gift box. "Chairman, the preparation you requested is ready."
"Thanks for the effort." He took it and entered the office.
Seeing the gift box was pink with a ribbon, Jingsheng asked, "Is it for a woman?"
He placed the gift box on his desk. "You will take it to Lili later."
Jingsheng took it, surprised, "What is this?"
"I’ll take it to the Master later."
He untied the ribbon, removed the box lid, and inside was a Jade Buddha necklace.
Gu Xichen took out a card from the drawer, wrote a few quick words on it, placed it inside the box, covered it, retied the ribbon, and handed it to her, "Here."
"Why give a Jade Buddha?" asked Jingsheng. "Wouldn’t a necklace be nicer?"
"This Jade Buddha was auctioned off by me for sixty million. It’s said to be a burial item discovered from an ancient Empress Dowager’s tomb, and it’s very beneficial for the body."
Jingsheng smiled faintly, "The Master will definitely like it."
"Yeah, I’m on it now."
Jingsheng personally delivered the gift to Gu Lili because she was at Long Group with Long Yubei; it wasn’t delivered to Qin Garden, but directly to the company instead.
She came back around forty minutes later.
"What was her reaction?"
Jingsheng told the truth, "She was very happy and liked the gift you sent. She wore it around her neck right away, but Mr. Long seemed a bit unhappy. He said he would buy her a more expensive one to wear, but the Master refused, saying that even if bought, she wouldn’t wear it; there’s only one neck, and wearing one is enough. Besides, she likes jade too. I saw Mr. Long’s face turn sour immediately; it was obvious he was jealous."
Gu Xichen begun to smile, his spirits high.
"It’s good to make him feel a bit annoyed."
Seeing him smile so happily, Jingsheng couldn’t help but ask, "I get the feeling... that you like the Master..."
Gu Xichen glanced at her, "Surprised?"
That was an admission.
Jingsheng chuckled dryly, "No way... The Master is married..."
"So what?" Gu Xichen was too lazy to hide anything regarding this issue, "She won’t cheat and be with me."
"Then you still like..."
Gu Xichen was reading documents, head lowered, "My liking her is my own business, it’s unrelated to her. If I hadn’t been blind back then, Long Yubei wouldn’t be reaping the rewards now."
Jingsheng was at a loss for words, "Does the Master know you like her?"
"She’s not stupid." Gu Xichen curled his lips, "Not only does she know, but so does Long Yubei."

"My mom heard that Liang He has gone on a blind date, and she also encouraged me to hurry up and go on one." Shen Congmo sneakily glanced at Long Fengxi. "What do you think, should I go or not?"
"If you want to go, go. It’s another opportunity, another experience. Maybe after meeting the person you’re matched with, you’ll discover a new boundless world." Long Fengxi replied with a smile, "I support you going."
"You’re doing this on purpose."
"Isn’t that what you want me to say by asking me?"
