Gu Luosheng pursed her lips and muttered, "You should get your eyes checked when you have time. It looks so good, and you actually called it average!"
Qiao Na couldn't help laughing. This girl was adorable. No wonder Mr. Ye had brought her here. She really was different from other women.
"Miss Gu, it looks lovely. That was already high praise coming from Mr. Ye. He usually calls people ugly."
Gu Luosheng brightened. "Oh, really?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye did that on purpose..." Qiao Na lowered her voice.
Gu Luosheng nodded. "I could tell. He's a little weird! But..."
Halfway through, Gu Luosheng caught the man's icy gaze and quickly swallowed the rest of her words. "Qiao Na, I'm heading out. Thanks for today!"
With that, Gu Luosheng hurried over to Ye Nanshen.
She feared that if she was a second too late, his glare might kill her.
She had often attended banquets, award ceremonies, and the like before, so events like this were nothing unfamiliar.
She just... hoped Ye Nanshen's grandmother wouldn't give her trouble.
When they reached the entrance to the Ye Family residence, Ye Nanshen paused to think.
Gu Luosheng took the initiative and linked her arm through his. "Since we're putting on an act, we have to make it convincing. Otherwise, they'll see through us right away. Don't worry. I'm a professional."
Ye Nanshen looked at her arm. "Did you do this when you acted before?"
Gu Luosheng waved her free hand. "No way. Didn't I mostly play corpses? Otherwise, it was some kind of solo competitive event. When would I have had a chance to touch a man?"
What Gu Luosheng said was indeed true of the body's original owner.
But even she, once the queen of the entertainment industry, had never done a kissing scene. If there was one, they used camera angles to fake it. Deep down, she was still very conservative.
The corners of Ye Nanshen's lips rose slightly. "Good. I'm a clean freak."
Gu Luosheng: ...
What a poser.
Gu Luosheng behaved herself. After entering the Ye Family residence, she really didn't say a word.
So luxurious.
Good grief, the Ye Family is loaded. They're much richer than the Gu Family. Is this floor made of crystal? And that mural... it looks like the artist Anla personally put it up. That... must have cost over ten million!
Ye Nanshen raised an eyebrow. She even knew Anla?
If I lived in this house, I'd wake up laughing every day.
Ahem. Forget it. I'd better stop dreaming. Even getting a chance to see it is good enough.
The moment Ye Nanshen entered, Old Madam Ye turned her gaze toward him.
"Nanshen!" Old Madam Ye beamed when she saw her grandson return with a girl.
Gu Luosheng abruptly came back to her senses, too.
She blinked as she looked at the old madam.
She had assumed the villain's grandmother would also be fierce, but to her surprise... she looked very kind.
Still, people could put on an act. Maybe the old madam was only pretending.
She would stick to their agreement and keep quiet.
"And this is..." The old madam's eyes were full of smiles and playful theatrics. She had clearly already guessed, but deliberately asked anyway.
Ye Nanshen lowered his gaze. "You asked me to bring my girlfriend home, didn't you? This is her..."
"Haha, you little rascal, you've finally come to your senses. Look at her, so fresh-faced and pretty. One look, and you can tell she belongs in our Ye Family." Old Madam Ye liked her at first sight.
Gu Luosheng didn't dare speak, so she could only smile.
"Young lady, what's your name?" the old madam asked.
Gu Luosheng looked at Ye Nanshen. Should she answer?
"Grandma asked you a question," Ye Nanshen said mildly.
The old madam glared at him. "Why do you sound so cold? What if you scare our sweet girl?"
Ye Nanshen: ???
Hearing that, Gu Luosheng instantly gave Grandma a hundred extra points.
"Grandma, my name is Gu Luosheng." Her voice was clear and bright, carrying a young girl's distinctive vitality.
"Good, good, good. What a lovely name." The old madam couldn't have been more pleased.
But Ye Nanshen's younger cousin, standing nearby, couldn't stand watching any longer.
"Grandma, don't let him fool you. For all we know, he paid fifty yuan to scan a code on the street and rent this woman as a shared girlfriend!" Ye Siyu made a face, deliberately stirring up trouble.
Ye Nanshen cast an icy glance his way, startling Ye Siyu into scurrying behind his grandmother.
The other aunts chimed in when they heard that. "That's right. Could Nanshen have just found some random woman to appease you?"
Gu Luosheng: ...
It wasn't fifty. It was five million! She really wanted to set that brat straight. Did she look that cheap?
The old madam's expression darkened. "I think you're all just jealous of my granddaughter-in-law, aren't you? Hmph. Fine, I'll ask a few questions and see whether my granddaughter-in-law is real or fake."
Gu Luosheng's heart sank, and she instinctively looked at Ye Nanshen.
Weren't they doomed now?
Their relationship really was a rental arrangement. They had only met once before. How could they possibly know anything about each other?
If she'd known, she would have asked him more questions on the way over.
"Grandma, Shengsheng has only just arrived at our home. It's not appropriate to question her. Why don't you ask me instead?" Ye Nanshen tightened his grip on Gu Luosheng's hand, signaling that she didn't need to be nervous.
For some reason, when she felt the warmth coming from his palm, she suddenly felt reassured.
"All right. Then have her put on headphones. I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer while she writes her answers on paper. We'll see whether they match." The old madam immediately came up with a reasonable method.
Everyone agreed.
Ye Siyu snorted, waiting to see his cousin embarrass himself.
In truth, the old madam was a little curious, too. She knew her grandson had always put his career first. This time, he'd brought a young woman home... hopefully not just to make her happy.
Gu Luosheng had originally wanted to cheat, but once she put on the headphones, she couldn't hear anything.
They really... blocked out all sound.
She hadn't expected their country to make products this good.
First question: what fruit do I like to eat?
Gu Luosheng tilted her head and thought for a moment.
Watermelon, mangoes, durian.
What color do I like? Pink.
What do I like most? Hehe, money, of course. But I can't write that, so... let's say Ye Nanshen. It's all an act anyway.
How old am I? Born in 2000... how old does that make me?
There were ten questions in total. Gu Luosheng muttered through them in her head, then wrote down all her answers.
After taking off the headphones, Gu Luosheng suddenly remembered that this was a test of whether she really was his girlfriend. She'd had fun writing her answers, but did that mean... her cover was blown, too?
I'm doomed, doomed! They'll definitely see through us. But this isn't my fault, so... he can't take back that five million.
Boohoo, my poor five million. I haven't even had time to warm it in my hands... I hope the villain isn't that petty.
