What Ye Qinglan is best at is dealing with all kinds of people. No matter how withdrawn, awkward and difficult the other person's personality is, she can find the most suitable topic in the shortest time.
As long as she opens the chat box, she can figure out the other person's thoughts from his words and subtle changes in his expression. Then based on what he knows, she can quickly guess the ins and outs of the matter.
But now sitting across from her was the deep and unpredictable Gu Xinian, which actually made her feel troubled.
Is it tactful and roundabout or is it straightforward to highlight the topic?
After this hesitation, Gu Xinian opened his mouth and said calmly: "Yu'er seems to be a lot more cheerful than before. I wonder if I can ask Cousin Lan how she does this?"
Ye Qinglan blinked innocently: "Cousin Gu, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Gu Xinian smiled, but there was not much smile in his eyes, and his tone became colder: "Cousin Lan is so smart, she must know what I am talking about."
Ye Qinglan had already prepared her mind and responded calmly: "I've only been here for a short day, what else can I do, just talk with cousin Xiyu. Maybe cousin Xiyu's mood has improved.
So I talk more than before."
Gu Xinian smiled half-heartedly: "Oh? Is it that simple?"
"It's true. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it." Ye Qinglan looked innocent and helpless, with even a hint of grievance in her eyes.
If it had been someone with less concentration or more confusion, he would probably have been perfunctory. Unfortunately, Gu Xinian was not such an easy man to fool.
"Since you refuse to tell me, I have no choice but to ask Yu'er." Gu Xinian said unhurriedly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "Yu'er will not hide anything from me.
"
Threatening her with this trick? Sorry, it's useless!
Ye Qinglan's attitude was unusually calm and calm: "Since Cousin Gu can't trust me, then go and ask Cousin Xiyu. Anyway, I have a clear conscience." She responded simply and without hesitation.
Gu Xinian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Qinglan intently.
Ye Qinglan sat upright, her waist straight, her hands clasped on her knees, looking quiet and elegant. She seemed to be just an ordinary girl. But those smart and confident eyes betrayed her.
Got her.
He was sure that she must have done something secretly. But why was she so confident and not even worried about him confronting Yu'er? What secret card did she hold in her hand?
A series of thoughts flashed through Gu Xinian's mind, but his sharp black eyes stared at her without relaxing for a moment. Just like a mighty eagle staring at its prey.
As the "prey", Ye Qinglan was secretly thinking about how to open her mouth to find out Gu Xinian's thoughts. Although this matter was embarrassing and difficult, she had already agreed to Ye Qingning, so she had no choice but to open her mouth.
"Cousin Gu, what do you think of sixth cousin?"
The topic jumped so quickly that Gu Xinian was a little surprised: "Why are you asking this?"
Ye Qinglan coughed and said with a smile: "Nothing. Just ask."
Just asking? Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he responded slowly: "Since it's just asking, I don't need to say anything."
Knowing that Gu Xinian was deliberately making things difficult, Ye Qinglan was still itching with hatred. However, he had to lower his head under the eaves, so he could only continue to laugh with him: "It's nothing, anyway, cousin Gu just said it to relieve his boredom."
Gu Xinian had enough time to admire Ye Qinglan's smiling face and said unhurriedly: "Have you promised Qingning to test my feelings for her?"
…
For the first time in her life, Ye Qinglan felt that her face was not thick enough. Under Gu Xinian's eyes that understood everything, she felt a little hot.
"Cousin Gu misunderstood. In fact, I just wanted to ask." Ye Qinglan cleared her throat and tried her best to smile as if nothing had happened: "If Cousin Gu doesn't want to talk about this, then forget it."
Gu Xinian raised the corners of his lips, with a mocking smile in his eyes: "Are you really not going to ask me? Aren't you afraid that Qing Ning will blame you when you go back? If you anger Qing Ning, I'm afraid that in the future, you will
No one will protect you and support you anymore!"
…
Ye Qinglan finally stopped laughing.
This man was so shrewd that he saw her embarrassing situation clearly.
Yes, she really can't offend Ye Qingning. If she wants to live a more practical and happy life in Changyuanbury, she must stick to this thigh. The most important thing at the moment is to test Gu Xinian's feelings for Ye Qingning and find ways to make him
Gu Xinian agreed to meet with Ye Qingning privately.
In other words, she now wanted something from Gu Xinian. And Gu Xinian knew this very well. That's why he waited so leisurely for her to bow her head.
Ye Qinglan secretly gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I can't hide anything from Cousin Gu! Before coming here, Sixth Sister did secretly entrust me with this little matter. I hope Cousin Gu can tell me frankly."
Gu Xinian leaned back on his chair with a very leisurely expression: "But I really can't think of a reason to tell you frankly."
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath. It's okay, don't be angry, don't be angry. This girl's self-restraint and demeanor are first-rate, and this little fight is really nothing...
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan, who was about to burst into tears but was suppressing her anger and pretending to be calm. He suddenly felt that teasing her was fun. He deliberately said casually: "Of course, if your performance satisfies me, I can also consider telling you
you."
The performance satisfied him... Why did she suddenly feel that these words were obscene?
Ye Qinglan was embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly put away the messy thoughts in her mind, and responded calmly: "Okay, it's settled. I think Cousin Gu will also be very interested in why Cousin Xiyu became like this.
Interested."
As long as you don't mention the word hypnosis, what's the harm in telling him something less important? No matter how powerful he is, he will never know what her real trump card is.
She is indeed a very smart girl. What is even more rare is that she can weigh the pros and cons and make the best judgment and choice in such a short period of time. Although it is unlikely that the two will become friends, Gu Xinian still
He felt a sense of appreciation for the girl in front of him.
"Speak first!" "Speak first!" The two of them said at the same time.
…
After being silent for about two seconds, Ye Qinglan rushed to say: "Men should always give way to girls. Besides, you are so much older than me, so you should give way to me."
When it comes to speaking, Gu Xinian is not inferior at all. He nodded magnanimously: "You are right, I should indeed give you some concessions. So, let you speak first."
…
You're cruel! Ye Qinglan's blood surged, but she refused to show weakness. She forced a smile and said, "Okay, let me make the decision first."
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled, very happy.
Ye Qinglan thought for a moment, sorted out her thoughts and said: "Cousin Xiyu had a nightmare last night. I was sleeping next door and woke up when I heard the noise, so I got up and went to my cousin's bedroom. My cousin kept crying and was very emotionally unstable. I looked very distressed, so I comforted her a few words..."
When he mentioned Gu Xiyu's nightmare, the smile on Gu Xinian's lips faded, and complex indescribable emotions flashed across his eyes. Even Ye Qinglan couldn't tell what he was thinking for a moment.
Are you thinking of Shen Qiuyu? Or are you regretting your actions back then? In order to protect your sweetheart, you ended up harming your own sister like this. What's the use of regretting it now!
Ye Qinglan snorted in her heart, suppressed the anger rising in her heart, and continued: "When cousin Xiyu's mood stabilized, I asked her what kind of nightmare she had, but she refused to tell her at first. She couldn't bear it and I asked her again and again, so she told me. She dreamed about the scene of falling into the water again..."
Gu Xinian's face changed slightly, and he finally couldn't hold himself back any longer: "What did she tell you?"
Ye Qinglan refused to talk any more, and said with a smile: "I have said so much, and I am a little thirsty. I want to drink tea and rest for a while. Anyway, I have time, so why don't I say a few words to my cousin instead." , picked up the tea cup and took a pretending sip.
Gu Xinian finally tasted the feeling of being choked, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan. This was already a sign of displeasure and dissatisfaction to the elegant fourth master Gu.
Unfortunately, Ye Qinglan was drinking tea vigorously and had no time to respond to his cold look.
Gu Xinian took a deep breath and said calmly: "Qingning is a nice girl and she is my cousin. I don't hate her."
The so-called not hating just means that there is no dislike, which is far from the level of liking. What's more, he has made it very clear that Ye Qingning is just his cousin!
This answer was expected, and Ye Qinglan was not surprised. But she still couldn't help but ask: "But the Sixth Sister has always admired Cousin Gu..."
"Admire?" Gu Xinian suddenly smiled, with a sarcastic curve on his lips: "How old is she, does she know what feelings are?"
Ye Qinglan responded calmly: "Who says you don't understand feelings at a young age? It's not like there are people who have made a vow of eternal love at the age of thirteen or fourteen."
Gu Xinian was poked in a painful spot, his smile suddenly disappeared, and his face turned cold: "What did you say?"
Huh? Is this considered a minefield?
Ye Qinglan smiled innocently and cutely: "I was just talking casually, why is cousin Gu so excited?"
No matter how innocent her smile was, Gu Xinian would never believe that she just said something unintentionally. However, now is not the time to pursue this matter...
Gu Xinian quickly regained his composure and brought the topic back: "Okay, I'm done, it's your turn. What did Yu'er tell you?"
This person is really difficult to deal with! Ye Qinglan secretly felt sorry for him.
She deliberately provoked him just now, just to see if he would make a mistake when he was angry. She didn't expect that he had such strong self-control and calmed down so quickly. (To be continued.
