Chapter 1365: Role-playing

Gu Nianzhi was ecstatic.

Not only was Miss Xiao Ye beautiful, but she was also a good cook!

Gu Nianzhi scored a great bargain, she scored a great bargain…

In the evening, Xiao Ye arrived at the entrance of Gu Nianzhi’s apartment complex with a duffel bag in her hand. When she asked the property manager to call Gu Nianzhi, Gu Nianzhi personally went down to pick her up.

..

At the entrance of the apartment complex, a reserved woman wearing large black-rimmed glasses and a rubber band with her black hair tied behind her head appeared in front of Gu Nianzhi.

Her skin was fair, but it wasn’t the fair, pinkish white that she had seen the day before. Instead, it was a cold, porcelain-white without a trace of blood.

Her lips were also pale. Her large black-rimmed glasses covered her bright eyes, and her thick bangs covered her perfectly shaped forehead. Her entire appearance had been severely degraded.

Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, “You are… Xiao Ye?”

“Yes, yes, I am! Oh my, Miss Gu, why did you come to pick me up personally? I can go in by myself!” Xiao Ye quickly said, and was even speaking with an accent.

Was this… role-playing?

“Miss Xiao, nice to meet you.” Gu Nianzhi quickly came back to her senses and warmly extended her hand.

Xiao Ye shook her hand with a smile and said, “Miss Gu, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to be your personal assistant.”

She was very polite and even had a flattering smile on her face. Her body was slightly hunched and her legs were bent. She was even shorter than Gu Nianzhi looked. She looked exactly like a little assistant who looked up to others.

Gu Nianzhi was completely convinced.

She had grown up in the Special Operations Forces and was very familiar with them. She knew that these members of the Special Operations Forces were either best actors or best actresses.

Real actors were nothing compared to them.

If real actors weren’t good at acting, at most, they wouldn’t be popular or wouldn’t have any acting roles.

If they weren’t good at acting, they would die.

For example, she had seen Xiao Ye the day before, and she was a stylish and fashionable woman.

When she saw her again after a day, if Huo Shaoheng hadn’t informed her in advance, she wouldn’t have been able to connect her to the beautiful young lady from yesterday.

“Come with me.” Gu Nianzhi turned around and walked towards her apartment building.

When she reached her own floor, Gu Nianzhi opened the door and said to Xiao Ye, “Make yourself at home.”

“How could I?” Xiao Ye smiled even more obsequiously. She carried her luggage and followed Gu Nianzhi to the guest room to settle down.

Yin Shixiong had prepared dinner for Gu Nianzhi. He waited for her to finish eating before speaking to her.

When Xiao Ye arrived, he stood up and said with a smile, “Ye Xiao, long time no see.”

Xiao Ye straightened her back and rolled her eyes. “Who is this gentleman? I don’t know him.”

“Hahahaha… of course you wouldn’t know ne, and I don’t know you either. Where did this country bumpkin come from?! Nianzhi, where did you get this clown?” Yin Shixiong winked and picked up his car keys. “I’m leaving. Enjoy yourselves!”

After Yin Shixiong left, Gu Nianzhi and Xiao Ye were the only two people in the empty apartment.

Gu Nianzhi was very curious about Xiao Ye, but she knew that she shouldn’t pry, so she pretended as if nothing had happened and knocked on Xiao Ye’s guest room door. “Miss Xiao, have you had dinner yet?”

Xiao Ye opened the door and smiled at Gu Nianzhi. “You don’t have to call me Miss Xiao, you can just call me Xiao Ye.”

Gu Nianzhi was embarrassed.”… can I call you by your real name?”

“Sure, not many people know anyway.”Xiao Ye smiled kindly. “Just remember that I’m your personal assistant. Don’t bother with me and don’t stand on ceremony.”

Upon the mention of dinner, Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled. “Have you had dinner?”

Gu Nianzhi shook her head, but said, “I had a late lunch, so I’m not hungry now. I was worried you might be hungry.”

She pointed to the kitchen and said, “There’s rice and vegetables there. If you’re hungry, you can go make your own food.”

Xiao Ye pursed her lips into a smile and whispered,”… I know, Miss Gu. You can tell me what you want to eat, but don’t go to the kitchen by yourself.”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened. “You, you, you, you… you know about it too?!”

That was terrible. Had her reputation as a “kitchen killer” spread that far?!

Didn’t Xiao Ye just come back from abroad? !

Gu Nianzhi was indignant.

Xiao Ye looked at Gu Nianzhi’s little face and thought she was especially cute. Thinking about her situation, even she couldn’t help feeling pity for this little girl.

“Know what? I don’t know anything.” Xiao Ye made a zipper gesture with her hand on his mouth to show that she was very tight-lipped and wouldn’t talk nonsense.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and teased her, “What are you doing? If people didn’t know you, they’d think you’re a zipper!”

Xiao Ye was a senior field officer in the Special Operations Forces, so wouldn’t dealing with a little girl like Gu Nianzhi be a piece of cake for her?

She quickly became friends with Gu Nianzhi, and after an hour, they became best friends.

The two of them chatted until their mouths were dry. Gu Nianzhi then went back to her room to drink water and eat snacks.

Xiao Ye stayed with Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi had nothing much to do recently. The main thing for her to do was to prepare for Song Jinning’s lawsuit against Luo Jialan.

Gu Nianzhi was getting impatient waiting for the court to send her the news of the second trial.

The point was that she wouldn’t be able to return to work in the upper house of the parliament until this matter was settled.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye was with her.

The two of them went out for a run and morning exercise in the morning. After breakfast, they played video games together or went out shopping. They had a very comfortable life.

Playing video games with Xiao Ye was the best experience. Gu Nianzhi’s incredible hand speed helped her to win in bed. She quickly went from being stubborn and bronze to the strongest king.

That day, Gu Nianzhi finished playing video games and rubbed her fingers. She planned to take a shower and go to bed early.

She planned to go to the court tomorrow and ask what was going on.

It had been almost a week. Had Cai Shengnan handed in their new evidence yet?

She pushed open her door and walked out. She knocked on Xiao Ye’s door and said, “Xiao Ye, I’m going to bed early today. I’m not playing video games with you anymore.”

Xiao Ye opened the door and smiled. “You’re going to bed early today?”

The two of them had been playing until dawn every day for the past few days!

“Yeah, I’ve been up all night. I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to bed early today.” Gu Nianzhi nodded. “Xiao Ye, you should go to bed early too. It’s been hard on you these past few days.”

“How is it hard? I feel like I’m on vacation right now.” Xiao Ye tilted her head and smiled. “You should go to bed now. The dark circles under your eyes are starting to show.”

Gu Nianzhi yawned and returned to her bedroom. She walked to the bathroom in her bedroom.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Gu Nianzhi subconsciously looked at her watch. It was only eight o’clock in the evening. Had she gone to bed too early?

She walked over and picked up her phone to take a look. She realized it was He Zhichu calling.

She quickly swiped open the phone and answered it.

“Professor He!” Gu Nianzhi was elated.

He Zhichu was in a great mood when he heard Gu Nianzhi’s voice.

He curled his lips and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I was just about to take a shower and go to bed when you called.” Gu Nianzhi yawned.

“Are you sleepy? Didn’t sleep well?” He Zhichu was very perceptive. “Why don’t you go to bed? I’m fine. I just wanted to ask how your lawsuit is going.”

“We still have to wait for the next court session.” Gu Nianzhi was unhappy. “Cai Shengnan said they still have evidence, but I’ve been waiting for almost a week, and there’s still no news from the court.”

“Okay, don’t be impatient. Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan probably don’t have any other important evidence. They’re just stalling for time.”

Wanting her to sleep well, He Zhichu consoled Gu Nianzhi and hung up the phone.

But as soon as she hung up, another call came in.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the number and realized it was Cai Shengnan.
