Xia Zhiyi's words were not meant to help Fu Yunyi.
Given the current situation, he certainly wouldn't actively try to make the male and female leads get together, even though according to their original destiny, they wouldn't be together right now anyway. In a way, the two of them are actually disrupting the plot.
However, Xia Zhiyi is not Cupid, and he generally doesn't do such unnecessary things.
The reason I said that at this time was simply to relieve Gu Miaomiao's psychological pressure.
If he hadn't mentioned Fu Yunyi's little secret thoughts that he himself hadn't even realized, Gu Miaomiao probably would have thought that Fu Yunyi was being dragged down by her, that he had to take on the role of her boyfriend out of kindness, and that he was actually in a difficult position.
After a moment of stunned silence, Gu Miaomiao bit her lip instinctively and asked, " Mr. Xia, you and him... you must have a very good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiyi's eyebrows twitched, and she seemed to ponder for a few seconds before nodding, "Ah, not bad. After all, as an elder, I should definitely treat the younger generation well."
Gu Miaomiao: "..."
Gu Miaomiao: "...?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled at Gu Miaomiao, and when she saw Gu Miaomiao looking at her with a puzzled expression, she smiled again and said, "You are now Fu Yunyi's girlfriend, and Fu Yunyi is my boyfriend's nephew, so you are, in a way, my junior."
" Miss Gu."
Gu Miaomiao: "..."
Gu Miaomiao cracked.
Realizing what Xia Zhiyi had said, Gu Miaomiao quickly explained, "Wait, Mr. Xia, Fu Yunyi and I don't..."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and interrupted her before she could finish her explanation, "Don't worry, I've already heard about the situation. What happened to you is over now, and all I can do is offer my deepest sympathy."
Upon hearing this, Gu Miaomiao paused for a moment, then forced a smile, her eyes filled with relief. "It's alright. Although I don't know what would have happened to me without President Fu's help, at least I'm still sitting here safely, which is already a good thing."
"Furthermore, Assistant Li also told me to rest assured that evil people will get their comeuppance."
As she said this, Gu Miaomiao shrugged. "I won't hide it from you, Mr. Xia. Actually, I was thinking at the time, what have I done to deserve so much help? It's so much that I'm almost overwhelmed."
"Later, Assistant Li told me that President Fu didn't help me on purpose; it just so happened that President Fu needed to resolve the Huanyu, and I happened to know Fu Yunyi, so..."
Gu Miaomiao stopped there, looked up at Xia Zhiyi and gave him a fairly bright smile, "There are some things I don't know who to say. If Mr. Xia thinks I'm talking too much, then I won't say anything."
"No, not at all." Xia Zhiyi shook her head, her expression gentle. "I don't think so at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy that Miss Gu is willing to share her troubles with me."
"After all, this also shows that Miss Gu approves of me as a friend, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Miaomiao's eyes flickered, and then she nodded seriously. "Mm."
"Actually, I've been waiting for your call. After all, I said before that you could contact me if I needed help," Xia Zhiyi said, resting her chin on her hand and tilting her head slightly to look at her. "But unfortunately, I haven't received your call. I was a little sad, thinking you didn't approve of me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Miaomiao quickly shook her head. "No, that's not true. I really felt there was nothing more I could help with, and you also had your own things to do, so I didn't contact you."
Xia Zhiyi: "Really, there's nothing left?"
Gu Miaomiao shook her head.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay then, would you like to consider starting work earlier? You probably need to earn money now, right? Although the contract we signed with you hasn't expired yet, I don't mind starting earlier."
"Things won't change anyway."
Gu Miaomiao: "Won't this interfere with your work?"
Xia Zhiyi: "No, I'm not the one dealing with you. I'm just providing the money."
Xia Zhiyi tried to communicate with Gu Miaomiao in a relaxed tone to reduce the pressure on Gu Miaomiao, and it turned out that he did a pretty good job.
After a brief hesitation, Gu Miaomiao double-checked to make sure it wouldn't affect Xia Zhiyi's original plans before nodding hesitantly, "If I could start work earlier, that would be wonderful. I'll work hard!"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Keep it up!"
Gu Miaomiao nodded earnestly. "Yes! I will!"
They perked up immediately!
Afterwards, Xia Zhiyi gave Gu Miaomiao two keys and pushed over a document. "Let's start with these two places. Blueprint A is for my older sister Xia Wanyi, and blueprint B is for my younger sister Xia Zhen. Although I wanted to give them a surprise, it's probably better to choose a place that suits our own preferences in the future, right?"
"So, their contact information is also up there. You can contact them whenever you want, but I haven't told them about the house yet."
"Well, how should I put it... I've prepared a property for the three of us to live in together, and I'd like to ask you, the designer, to inquire about their preferences regarding the room's style. What do you think?"
Gu Miaomiao opened the document, glanced at it, and nodded. "Okay, I think it's fine."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Gu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Since Mr. Xia has prepared properties for all the sisters, what about Mr. Xia's own...?"
Halfway through her sentence, Gu Miaomiao seemed to realize that her words had been somewhat presumptuous, and she stopped talking.
Xia Zhiyi, on the other hand, didn't mind at all. She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table twice and said with a smile, "As for me, since I'm not of legal age yet, I'm not in a hurry for things like a wedding house."
Gu Miaomiao: "..."
Gu Miaomiao's face suddenly turned slightly red, as if she had thought of something, "Oh, I see. Okay."
By arranging a job for Gu Miaomiao, Xia Zhiyi of reassurance, thus fulfilling her purpose for meeting her that day.
Given a promising future, most people wouldn't be easily lured into circles they've never been into by some strange person, even if those circles seem glamorous and lucrative.
She's the female lead, after all.
Even though Gu Miaomiao has been having a lot of bad luck lately because of the so-called plot, as long as the Power of the Plot is still there, the Protagonist Halo will still exist.
Therefore, as long as Gu Miaomiao remains steadfast in her beliefs, no matter how hard the plot tries, it will never achieve the desired effect.
However, an accident occurred when the two parted ways at the door.
An electric car suddenly malfunctioned on the road and hurtled straight towards the two of them. From that direction, Gu Miaomiao was likely unharmed, but Xia Zhiyi...
Gu Miaomiao's pupils contracted slightly, her body reacting faster than her brain, and she shouted at the same time, "Watch out!"
