Chapter 2535 - 2536: Lucky Guest

Actually, the fact that Chen Chao dared to confess his feelings for Gu Chun on such an occasion means he must be serious, aiming for marriage, not just fooling around.

After all, he said it in front of the elders from both families. Even if Chen Chao had a hundred times the guts, he wouldn’t dare to mess around like that, so Gu Mian was quite satisfied.

It just felt like she had set up a fake date!

But it’s okay, since Chen Chao likes Gu Chun, they’re all family, just like the saying, "If you aren’t family, you don’t come through the same door."

Chen Chao’s brave and direct confession in such a setting was quite commendable, better than everyone being vague and unclear about their feelings.

Based on this alone, Gu Mian quite admired him. When it comes to love, either you like the person or you don’t, you fit or you don’t, just say it directly.

Gu Mian thought this, and so did Qin Qian, but she inexplicably felt a bit awkward and didn’t know what to make of Gu Mian’s reaction.

Was Gu Mian angry and felt embarrassed inside, but couldn’t show it? Or did she genuinely not care at all?

This was Qin Qian’s thought, and of course Aunt Wei thought so too, so she looked at Gu Mian and said, "About this, Xiaomian, you see, it’s all Aunt Wei’s fault. I didn’t clarify things beforehand, making you feel..."

After she finished speaking, Aunt Wei turned to scold Chen Chao, "And you, honestly, how could you not give me a heads up about something like this?"

"You didn’t ask," Chen Chao replied innocently, "You just said to have a meal with Aunt Qin, so I came."

Chen Chao then glanced at Gu Mian and said, "Gu Mian, perhaps it’s my fault. I never meant to embarrass you, but I saw you didn’t seem interested in a blind date, so I blurted it out in a hurry."

Gu Mian blinked in confusion, holding her forehead, "Why do I have no idea what you’re all talking about? I didn’t feel embarrassed at all! Actually, I didn’t even want to come in the first place, but now I think it was a good decision to come. Hahaha, it’s not me on the date; I came to help Xiaochun with the matchmaking. That’s great, great, so Brother Chao, you’re going to have to treat us to a grand meal today!"

"No problem!" Chen Chao readily agreed, "It doesn’t matter how much or how expensive the meal is today, it’s all on me!"

Since Chen Chao said that, Gu Mian didn’t hold back. After all, he could very well be her future brother-in-law. Chen Chao immediately called over the waiter and handed the menu to Gu Mian, asking her to choose freely.

Gu Mian indeed didn’t hold back. She hadn’t planned on doing so anyway, so she added a few more costly dishes, thinking it could also increase the income for Professor Nangong!

See how thoughtful she is? Even on a blind date, she doesn’t forget to boost her ’husband’s’ income.

Speaking of which, her side of the matchmaking smoothly failed, but she wondered how Nangong Yue’s matchmaking was going. Did he actually go through with it?

While she was lost in thought, a waiter entered the private room, pushing in a cart with an enormous bouquet of roses. No, it wasn’t just one bouquet; it was several layers arranged in a heart shape, looking absolutely gorgeous, like a floral cake.

"What does this mean?" asked Qin Qian, puzzled.

The waiter immediately explained, "Hello, today our Flavor of Jiangnan held a raffle for a lucky guest, and Miss Gu was the fortunate one selected. This is a gift for her."

Gu Mian was taken aback. Huh, there’s such an event?

Why didn’t she know?

So it was just a coincidence that she got selected?

Could Nangong Yue be behind this?

Gu Mian looked confused, but Qin Qian was beaming with joy, "Wonderful, wonderful, thank you so much."
