Don’t Embarrass the Li Family

Hao Bai was stunned. He looked like he had just been tricked, and he turned to glare furiously at Jiang Yunze.

Jiang Yunze was lying on the cow. His white robe had been pulled out of place by Gu Zhengxi and Hao Bai, and the fan he stuck in his belt had fallen to the ground. The fan had opened up to reveal those large words written on it.

"Send away the past, and fewer people can be seen."

Since the entire game was over, Jiang Yunze finally let go of the rope as he looked at them with a maligned expression on his face and said in a miserable voice, "I never said that the white cow I'm riding on is the cow that the villager lost!"

Hao Bai didn't know what to say.

Nor did Gu Zhengxi.

The program staff brought the little calf back to the village and returned it to the villager. All the guests returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion within the bamboo forest.

Qin Nuan received the prize that the director awarded her with. It was a calf made from pure gold. She cheerfully read the advertising copy from the jewelry sponsor who made this calf and then kept her prize away properly.

Gu Zhengxi gnashed his teeth as he stared at Qin Nuan and whispered, "So when you saw that all of us were fighting for that white cow, you already realized that the lost cow was actually regular cattle? Then you secretly tied a rope around a cattle while we were all distracted? How could you not throw me any hints? I thought we were friends! I was almost ready to take away your honor of being 'Gu Zhengxi's little sister'!"

Qin Nuan pinched her fingers together and poked at Gu Zhengxi's shoulder as she smiled prettily. "I thought that someone as clever as you would have understood the hint written on Jiang Yunze's fan, and I didn't need to spell it out."

Gu Zhengxi's eyebrows jumped when he saw how Qin Nuan had pinched her fingers together effeminately. Bad memories instantly flooded his brain.

He obediently called her "Sister Nuan" and then shut his mouth.

After the variety program filming was done, Qin Nuan didn't join the dinner prepared by the program staff and took a six-hour bus back to the Chuan City airport.

Li Lingcheng had called her and asked her to attend the corporate gala that Li Group held the next night.

She wasn't interested in attending a Li Group banquet, but she had to protect the Qin family.

The six-hour bus ride and eight-hour flight were a bit too much for Qin Nuan to take, so she developed a fever when she reached City A.

She took her temperature after returning to Tai'an Condominium. 38.5 degrees Celsius. That wasn't too high, so she didn't think much of it. She took two cold tablets and went to shower.

After showering, Qin Nuan blow-dried her hair while choosing what she wanted to wear to the banquet.

She was a female celebrity, so dressing up prettily for a corporate gala like this was the right thing to do.

It wasn't for any other reason besides making sure that others remembered your face after just seeing you once.

But after Qin Nuan opened the closet, she discovered that she didn't have any nice-looking evening gowns to wear.

The only ones she had were all pure white chiffon dresses that were bought to imitate Bai Weiwei's style.

Qin Nuan felt a headache when she saw these dresses and gave Qin Shi a call. After explaining her situation to her older brother, the man on the other end of the line immediately patted his chest and promised to send an evening gown within the next half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, she heart felt at ease as well.

Qin Nuan lay on the couch and waited for the gown. To her surprise, the phone started ringing again shortly after she had hung up the call to Qin Shi.

She picked up the call, and Li Lingcheng's frosty, chilling, and emotionless voice immediately came through, causing the temperature in the air to fall by several degrees.

"I will get my assistant to send an evening gown over. Tidy up your place. Don't embarrass the Li family."

"No…"

Before she could say, "No need," the phone call was cut off abruptly. It was clear that the other party couldn't stand her.

Qin Nuan curled her lips into a smile that obviously didn't care. She put her phone down and continued resting on the couch.

Did he think she would care for his attention?
