Picked up

Speaking of next Monday's court appearance, Gu Nianzhi's bright eyes quickly dimmed, like a floating cloud blocking out the starlight at night. Only a few sparse shadows could be seen through the clouds.

She said in a low voice,"... I really don't want to be sisters with Wen Shouyi..."

Huo Shaoheng remembered the subtle changes in Wen Shouyi's appearance, and his heart stirred. He sat closer to her and said, "Have you noticed? Wen Shouyi seems to have made some minor adjustments recently."

Gu Nianzhi narrowed her eyes. Wen Shouyi's appearance flashed across her mind.

"... Right, don't you think she looks more like a person now?" Gu Nianzhi looked at Huo Shaoheng and asked slyly.

"Like who? Xie Qingying?" Huo Shaoheng saw through her little trick and leaned back on the sofa with a half-smile.

Gu Nianzhi nodded and gave him a hard slap. "That's right! She looks just like Cousin Xie!"
