Chapter 545: going abroad to relax

After Rong Xiao arrived, the atmosphere in the apartment became more lively.

"Come and eat. I made this especially for you." Rong Xiao looked at the calm Gu Ruochu and smiled. "Let's see if the beans I made can rival Granny Li's special recipe."

Gu Ruochu sat next to Ning Tang and was amused by Rong Xiao's presentation.

"All right. I'll try it."

Gu Ruochu took her chopsticks and picked up the food in her bowl.

"It's delicious!"

Rong Xiao's eyes lit up.

"Then eat more. Any time you feel like you don't want to cook, you should come to my house. Even if I'm too lazy to cook, Granny Li will prepare a meal for you," Rong Xiao bragged.

Gu Ruochu knew that he was deliberately trying to make her happy, but his exaggerated acting still made her laugh out loud.

Ning Tang quietly sat at the side and ate. Seeing that she was in a much better mood, his mood gradually relaxed.

The next day, Gu Ruochu accompanied Ning Tang on his trip abroad. She felt that she deserved a vacation. She would not pay attention to her lawsuit with Huo Nanchen or any news related to him.

After arriving in the foreign country, Gu Ruochu and Ning Tang took a stroll on the streets.

There were many artists along the streets who offered to paint pictures of pedestrians as they walked by.

"Ruochu, do you want to paint one?" Ning Tang saw that she seemed very interested and smiled as he patted her shoulder. "Come with me."

Gu Ruochu was indeed very curious about the painters. When she saw Ning Tang walk towards a young male painter with a confident strut, she suspected that Ning Tang knew him.

"James, I knew you would be here at this time."

"Director Ning, are you here on a business trip?" The young man stood up, but his gaze fell on the girl beside him. Gu Ruochu finally saw his appearance. He had a distinct outline, and his lips were very sexy.

"Who is this?"

"This is my daughter." Ning Tang extended his hand and introduced him to Gu Ruochu. "Ruochu, this is James, the son of an old friend of mine. His Chinese name is Yi Eryang."

"Hello." Yi Eryang took the initiative and extended his hand. Gu Ruochu shook his hand in a friendly manner. "Hello, my name is Gu Ruochu."

"Uncle Ning, do you mind if I draw a portrait of your beautiful daughter?" Yi Eryang sized her up, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. "Do you mind if I call you Ruochu?"

"Of course, I don't mind."

Ning Tang's smile revealed his pearly white teeth.

He had a good relationship with Yi Eryang. However, Gu Ruochu was still a little embarrassed after receiving praise from a stranger. She stood a little closer to Ning Tang.

Ning Tang was secretly pleased when Gu Ruochu brushed against him. It felt good to be so close to his daughter.

"I also brought her here to meet a new friend." Ning Tang continued to speak gently, "Why don't we go to the coffee shop next door and have a seat? You can tidy up your drawing set."

"That's fine too." Yi Eryang elegantly withdrew his hand. "Since Uncle Ning has invited me, I would like to have a chat with the beautiful lady that I've just met."

Gu Ruochu knew what Ning Tang was up to, but she did not feel any heavy burden in her heart. Gu Zexi had already encouraged her to go out and meet new people. It was not as if Ning Tang wanted her to immediately make Yi Eryang her boyfriend and commit to him for the rest of her life. She would let things flow naturally and treat him as a new friend.

As the three of them chatted happily in the cafe, Gu Ruochu found out that Yi Eryang was an interesting man, and his views were similar to hers. She felt comfortable talking to him, and Ning Tang smiled when he noticed that she looked relaxed.
