"Ms. Gu, I'm taking the liberty of visiting you. I hope I won't disturb you."
Ou Zexi said hello with a smile in his black eyes.
"If you call me Mrs. Qi, maybe it won't be a bother."
Gu Qianqian walked downstairs indifferently, raised a faint smile, and answered lightly.
It is well known that Qi Mingye proposed marriage. Even if they did not get the certificate and there was no time to hold the wedding, everyone knew that she was the legitimate Mrs. Qi.
Ou Zexi even admitted that she was Qi Mingye's beloved wife at the banquet, but in private, he called her Miss Gu.
Gu Qianqian didn't think this was a small detail that could be turned into a big deal.
When talking to someone, you must first determine what kind of identity you are using in order to grasp your stance.
This is the first and most important set of rules that Gu Qianqian learned after becoming Qi Mingye's woman.
"Madam, breakfast is ready. Master told you to have breakfast as soon as you wake up."
When the housekeeper saw Gu Qianqian coming downstairs, he respectfully walked to her side to remind her.
Breakfast is the most important meal among the three meals a day. Qi Mingye always keeps a close eye on her. Unless there are special circumstances, he will never let Gu Qianqian stay in bed and miss breakfast.
Although the housekeeper was wary of Ou Jersey's visit, he was even more worried about starving Gu Qianqian.
"I wonder if Mr. Ou would like to have dinner together?"
Gu Qianqian was not as eager to please Ou Zexi as others. Of course, her attitude was not arrogant either. There was a touch of friendliness in her alienation, which was considered a normal way to treat guests.
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Ou Zexi's smiling eyes met Gu Qianqian's gaze, and he smiled gently at the corner of his mouth and responded.
As soon as Gu Qianqian's invitation came out, the butler's expression changed for the first time.
After hearing Ou Zexi's promise, his eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
Gu Qianqian glanced at the overreacting butler and knew that there must be a reason for his reaction, but it was not the right time to ask, so she didn't say anything and only ordered the kitchen to prepare an extra meal.
Of course, Gu Qianqian politely asked Ou Zexi what he wanted to eat.
Ou Zexi also responded politely, "It's whatever you want, just like Mrs. Qi's."
At the very least, just based on this title, Gu Qianqian could probably know that Qi Mingye and Ou Zexi had a higher chance of becoming friends than enemies.
"Mr. Ou..."
"Although it's only the second time we've met, you don't have to start a relationship with me one by one, Mr. Ou. The Mo family, the Qi family and the Ou family have been family friends for a long time. Although I'm not close to Qi Mingye, we can still be considered friends.
We are familiar with each other, you can just call me by my name, Mrs. Qi is awkward, you are younger than me, so I am my sister, if you don’t mind, how about I call you Qianqian?"
"..."
Gu Qianqian looked at Ou Zexi with slight hesitation. With his unassuming handsome face, Gu Qianqian really couldn't guess the purpose of his coming to her.
Wanting to refuse his title, Ou Zexi spoke faster, "I heard that you lived in the Mo Manor for several years, and Mo Ran never mentioned to you my childhood playmate?"
Seemingly knowing Gu Qianqian's trust in Mo Ran, Ou Zexi mentioned Mo Ran without hesitation.
As expected, Gu Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then quickly calmed down her expression, her lips parted slightly, "No."
"That's really sad. I thought he would tell you that when we were young, we often got together to comfort each other because the adults in the family couldn't care less. Mo Ran was not so gentle since he was a child."
It's just that after wearing the mask for a long time, I have become accustomed to it...
