CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 144: BROTHER CHEN, ARE YOU PLANNING TO TAKE YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW OUT ON A DATE?_2

He Ye murmured a couple of words behind him, then looked at Shen Yanchen’s back and smiled. Why did he feel that Brother Yan Chen was a bit... cute despite his imposing presence?

Shen Yanchen returned to the office, went to the restroom, and then directly pushed open the door of Gu Qimiao’s art studio.

Gu Qimiao, sitting at the table, looked up at him with her black, clear eyes.

"Go out with me tomorrow?"

Gu Qimiao just stared at him and asked, "Where to?"

Shen Yanchen responded without a hint of blush or heartbeat: "I plan to create some paintings with modern city themes, bringing you along to find some inspiration."

Isn’t this the same thing as a date?

"No problem?"

Gu Qimiao quickly shook her head: "No."

"Alright, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow."

After speaking, he walked out of her studio. Gu Qimiao couldn’t hide her delight and smiled while covering her face.

...

The next day, Gu Qimiao woke up even earlier than Gu Moming. After washing up, she started picking out clothes from her closet.

Gu Moming, disturbed by the noise, sat up from bed, frowned, and asked her: "Did you take your medicine?"

Seeing that he was awake, she immediately turned around, holding a dress in one hand and asked him: "Which one looks better?"

Gu Moming sensed something was off and asked her: "Where are you going?"

"Just... going out with a friend."

"Male or female?"

"...Of course, it’s a female!"

If he knew it was Shen Yanchen, he would definitely scold her again.

"Which female?"

"It’s Sister Mei... she runs the gallery."

Gu Moming looked at her doubtfully, then said: "The one on the right looks better." After a pause, he added: "Because I bought it."

Gu Qimiao glanced at the lotus pink dress in her right hand. Truthfully, she preferred the white one in her left hand, but it was thigh-length. Remembering Shen Yanchen’s warning last time, she had stayed away from such short dresses for a while. A long dress would be better.

The lotus pink dress reached about mid-calf, with a small slit in the back, making it quite elegant.

She followed Gu Moming’s choice, went to the restroom to change, then sat in front of the vanity to do her makeup. She put on light makeup and pinned up her hair.

Gu Moming got up and dressed, asking her while he did so: "Are you really going out with a woman?"

Gu Qimiao replied calmly: "Yes."

Gu Moming still didn’t believe her but didn’t ask further, thinking that girls naturally liked to dress up nicely when going out with friends.

"Where to? I’ll drive you."

Remembering that Shen Yanchen said he’d come to pick her up, Gu Qimiao said: "No need... my friend is driving over."

Just then, her phone rang, sitting next to the vanity. She picked it up and answered in a sweet tone. After hanging up, she quickly packed her things into her bag and said to him: "My friend is here. I’m leaving now."

"Will you be back for dinner?"

"...Not sure yet! I’ll call you." Saying that, she changed shoes and headed out the door, wearing high heels she rarely wore, with ten-centimeter heels.

He watched this young girl growing more beautiful by the day.

As soon as Gu Qimiao walked downstairs, she saw his iron-gray Ghost. He was standing by the car, waiting for her. Watching her run over in those ten-centimeter heels made his heart race, afraid she might fall.

Shen Yanchen’s attire today was more casual than usual: a dark shirt with sleeves rolled up, revealing his lean forearms, and slim-fit trousers that highlighted his long legs. His tall, slender frame made him look like a model, drawing attention effortlessly.

"Brother Yan Chen!"

Shen Yanchen opened the car door, helped her in, and then closed the door.

No visible change in his expression, as if he didn’t notice how beautiful she looked today, though her face kept replaying in his mind.

A bit of grooming made her unbelievably stunning.

Without any delay, he started the car and drove off.

"Had breakfast?"

Gu Qimiao nodded: "Had some cookies."

Shen Yanchen frowned slightly. Breakfast with just some cookies? Gu Moming didn’t know how to take care of her at all.

Without asking her, he drove to a tea house and, using the excuse that he hadn’t eaten, made her accompany him to have some food.

"Brother Yan Chen, where are we going later?" She didn’t really care about the answer, just wanted to keep the conversation going. As long as he was with her, anywhere would be fine.

Shen Yanchen handed her a napkin, picked up another to wipe his mouth, and said: "Just wandering around here."

Saying they were just wandering around, he practically took her to all the city’s landmark buildings.

Although she had lived here for a while, Gu Qimiao hadn’t properly explored. She usually went to the gallery area and the commercial street, but hadn’t visited other places.

From bustling downtown to serene courtyards, from one end of the bridge to the other, they saw the majestic river and felt the warm river breeze. The scenery was beautiful. The only regret was that he couldn’t hold her hand as they walked through it.

In the sunlight, she took photos of the riverside with her phone. Since leaving in the morning, she had been wearing a gentle smile. Or rather, she was such a girl that, without doing anything, she could melt your heart.

Trying to find a better angle, she walked a bit further ahead. Shen Yanchen looked down at her high heels. Although they took breaks while walking, those heels were so high, and she didn’t usually wear such high shoes.

"Tired?" He walked over to her, looking at the scenery she was admiring.

Gu Qimiao took a photo, then shook her head: "Not tired!"

She feared that if she said she was tired, he would suggest going back. Actually, her feet were already sore and her shoes were rubbing her heels raw, but she couldn’t feel it. Shen Yanchen saw it all, though.

He pointed his chin to the other side of the bridge and said: "It’s a bit hot. Let’s find a place to sit."
