The attendant was overjoyed and the expression on his face as he attended to Zhao Lanzhi became even more solicitous.
Zhao Lanzhi was quite embarra.s.sed. She had not bought anything and had even strung it into a beautiful pearl bracelet for free. Yet the attendant’s att.i.tude was still so good.
The employees of her shop had to be trained well later.
Gou Houxing sent Zhao Lanzhi back to her house door. When they parted ways, they spoke in unison.
They paused in unison and gestured for the other party to speak first.
Zhao Lanzhi raised the box containing the pearl bracelet and smiled gently at him. “Thank you.”
Gou Houxing’s heart seemed to be pounding, tie rubbed his head nervously. “You’re welcome. It’s all free. If you give me more time, I can scoop up all the clams and make you a necklace.”
He felt that Zhao Lanzhi would definitely like the necklace more than the bracelet.
Zhao Lanzhi chuckled. “I know you must have the capability, but I really like this bracelet better.”
Zhao Lanzhi had gotten along very well with him that day. Now, it was even more obvious that she liked what he had given her.
Gou Houxing stole a glance at her and suddenly asked in a low voice, “Will we meet again in the future?”
Zhao Lanzhi felt that he was really not bad and respected her enough. Previously, she already had the intention to continue trying. She immediately smiled and said, “I’m going to the flowerbed to take a look in a few days. General Gou, are you willing to come with me?”
Gou Houxing’s nervous heart instantly fell into his stomach. He nodded excitedly. “I’ll go, I’ll go!”
They set a time. Just as Zhao Lanzhi returned home, Madam Zhao, Father Zhao, and Zhao Erwa ran out of the dark and asked excitedly, “How is it? How is General Gou?”
Madam Zhao looked at the flowers and smiled until her eyes crinkled. “This child knows how to give our Lanzhi flowers on the first day. He will definitely dote on his wife in the future.”
Zhao Erwa stared at Zhao Lanzhi’s jewelry box and exclaimed, “Sister, not only did he give you flowers, but he also gave you jewelry, right? I’ve seen this jewelry symbol. I heard that even a broken hair tie is sold at a high price!”
Madam Zhao and Father Zhao were surprised that Zhao Lanzhi was willing to accept such an expensive thing.
What did this mean? It meant that Zhao Lanzhi was satisfied with Gou Houxing.
Otherwise, with Lanzhi’s personality, if she did not fancy him, she would definitely not be willing to have anything to do with him.
Zhao Lanzhi was a little embarra.s.sed by everyone’s gazes and explained, “These are pearls from partic.i.p.ating in the sea clam fishing event. They didn’t cost money.”
Madam Zhao knew very well about that event. The two of them had partic.i.p.ated as partners as soon as they met, so she was even more certain that they liked each other.
Madam Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, “When will you meet again?”
Madam Zhao looked solicitous as if she wished that she could marry Gou Houxing immediately. Zhao Lanzhi couldn’t take it anymore and hurriedly found an excuse. “I’m a little tired and want to rest for a while.”
Madam Zhao hurriedly chased after them. “Sigh, you guys didn’t set an appointment!”
On the other side, Gou Houxing returned home. Thinking of what had happened that day, he sat by the bed and smiled like a fool.
When he thought of the agreed time with Zhao Lanzhi and how there was still half a month, he felt fl.u.s.tered.
Half a month was too torturous.
Gou Houxing’s eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up and hurriedly ran to the Great Empress residence’s to look for Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao was taking a brush to bathe Xiaobai’s entire family.
The row of wolves were in front of him, allowing Chu Tianbao to wash them one by one. At a glance, one would think that they were radishes.
As Gou Houxing ran closer, Xiaobai suddenly stood up and splashed water on him, scaring him.
Chu Tianbao raised his eyelids and looked at him. “Is the meeting over?”
Gou Houxing nodded and took the brush from Chu Tianbao’s hand. He wanted to wash the burly Xiaobai for him with an eager smile. The date should have gone smoothly.
Xiaobai was very dissatisfied with Gou Houxing’s strength. It howled and Chu Tianbao pointed. “Xiaobai told you to be gentle. His b.u.t.t hasn’t been rubbed yet.”
Gou Houxing hurriedly rubbed his b.u.t.t and asked, “Brother, Miss Zhao asked me to meet her in the flowerbed next time, but 1 calculated the time. It’s still more than half a month. Brother, do you think it’s good for me to pick her up every day?”
Chu Tianbao glanced at him. “If she doesn’t refuse the first time, you can go every day.”
Gou Houxing had been waiting for Chu Tianbao to say this. He threw the brush excitedly, which hit Xiaobai’s head heavily, and gave Chu Tianbao a big hug. “Brother, I’ll treat you to red eggs soon!”
Xiaobai stood up angrily and splashed both of them with water.
Gou Houxing was extremely motivated. In order to let Zhao Lanzhi go home comfortably, he even specially bought a flashy tricycle. When he thought of him riding the tricycle and Zhao Lanzhi sitting behind him being pulled home by him, he was overjoyed.
The next day, Zhao Lanzhi went out and saw Gou Houxing standing at her door like a pole. Beside him was a brand new tricycle.
There was also a red rose on the front of the car. As the breeze blew, it emitted a fragrance.
Gou Houxing smiled and said, “I bought a tricycle. The training ground is not far from where you work. Why don’t we take the same way?”
How could the training ground be not far from where she worked? He was deliberately sending her to work.
Besides, he must have specially bought this car.
Zhao Lanzhi suddenly felt a little sweet. She looked at him shyly. Before she could speak, Madam Zhao, who was eavesdropping at the side, hurriedly said, “Lanzhi, take the tricycle, there’s also General Gou escorting you. It will be comfortable and safe. Quickly say thank you!”
Zhao Lanzhi glanced shyly at Gou Houxing, got on the tricycle, and thanked him softly.
Gou Houxin was overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed 180 degrees to Madam Zhao and said in a loud voice, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll definitely guarantee to send Miss Zhao safely!”
Seeing that he was tall and had an extraordinary aura, and was so considerate to Zhao Lanzhi, Madam Zhao looked satisfied and hurriedly smiled. “I’ll definitely be at ease!”
Gou Houxing kicked with his long legs and the tricycle moved steadily. Even if his strong body pulled a few more people, it seemed effortless.
After sending Zhao Lanzhi to the door, many female workers saw them and sized up them in surprise.
Afraid that she would be embarra.s.sed, Gou Houxing left a message that he would pick her up at noon and leave.
Zhao Lanzhi wanted to say that she was not going home at noon and that they were all eating in the canteen and did not need to go home. But Gou Houxing ran away as if he had stepped on fire wheels.
She sighed and smiled slightly. ‘Then 1’11 wait for him here for a while at noon.’
Gou Houxing had fetched Zhao Lanzhi for consecutive days. When he found out that Zhao Lanzhi liked to eat cake, he even went to Cui Muzhi’s cake shop to learn. He changed the flavors every day and sent small cakes on time for lunch.
The entire workshop’s female workers were gossiping about them. “General Gou is considerate and handsome. He’s a rare good man. Guess how long it will take for them to get engaged?”
“Tomorrow, I guess!”
“Hahahaha, that’s too fast.”
Zhao Lanzhi suddenly appeared with a tray, startling them. “h.e.l.lo, Boss!”
Zhao Lanzhi nodded and ate as if nothing had happened. There was still a cute little cake beside her.
Everyone stole a few glances. Seeing that Zhao Lanzhi was not angry, they were even more certain that Gou Houxing would definitely be able to win over their boss..
