I just want to inherit the family property and don't want to fall in love

From being shy at the beginning to gradually becoming serious, Ning Xi almost forgot to sleep and eat after entering the state.

When she drew the last stroke and put down the brush, a ray of the afterglow of the setting sun just shone on her face, making her look glamorous.

"The drawing is finally finished." Ning Xi raised her head and said to Gu Tingjun who had been maintaining the same posture, "Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Tingjun didn't complain at all, he walked to the side, picked up his clothes and put them on.

Walking to Ning Xi's side, he looked at the painting, nodded slightly, his expression seemed to say, it's not bad, it has lived up to my efforts this afternoon.

"Clean up, let's go eat."

Gu Tingjun, who hadn't eaten lunch, was already hungry, but seeing that Ning Xi was drawing seriously, he never disturbed him.

After Gu Tingjun said this, Ning Xi also felt uncomfortable with an empty stomach.

"To thank you for being my model, I invite you tonight."

Ning Xi said proudly.

In Gu Tingjun's capacity, Ning Xi was a little too moved by stripping naked to paint for her.

Gu Tingjun did not refuse, and brought Ning Xi to a nearby western restaurant.

Soft lights, soothing music, couples who are in love with each other, the tenderness and sweetness in the air are indelible.

Such a romantic atmosphere made Ning Xi stop at the door.

This is a restaurant for couples, is it appropriate for the two of them to go in?

While Ning Xi was hesitating, Gu Tingjun had already stepped into the gate, and Ning Xi had no choice but to follow.

After picking a seat near the corner and sitting down, a waiter brought water and menus in front of them.

Looking at the silent man across the way, even looking through the menu with grace, Ning Xi looked around, always feeling a little uncomfortable.

Leaning her body forward, she could deliberately lower her voice: "Boss, do you feel..."

"No."

Gu Tingjun looked at the menu intently and choked back Ning Xi's words.

Speechlessly rolling her eyes, Ning Xi didn't bother to pay attention to his teasing: "Do you think..."

"Yes, I have."

Ning Xi gritted her teeth with hatred: "Can you be more perfunctory? Forget it, I think we came to the wrong restaurant."

"Is it written here that we can't come?" Gu Tingjun raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, with a color that no one could understand, he retorted lightly, and then looked at the waiter: "This, this, and this."

Seeing that Gu Tingjun not only didn't take care of herself, but started ordering food directly, Ning Xi had no choice but to accept her fate.

Anyway, it's just a meal, no one here knows her, besides, Gu Tingjun is not afraid of being misunderstood, she is afraid of a ghost!

Flipping through the menu, Ning Xi randomly picked out two favorite dishes: "One more cup of coffee."

"No!" Gu Tingjun frowned: "You still drink coffee at this time, don't you want to sleep at night?"

After reprimanding the ignorant little thing, Gu Tingjun ordered a glass of champagne and a glass of mango milk.

Needless to say, the champagne was for him, but the mango milk was naturally for Ning Xi.

Ning Xi looked depressedly at the ambiguous smile that the waiter was trying to suppress before leaving.

Soon, the dishes were all served, and Ning Xi, who had been hungry all day, was about to start when she saw someone walking in this direction.

The people who came were a man and a woman, they were arm in arm, they were very intimate, they looked like a couple or husband and wife.

Walking in front of them, the man smiled at Ning Xi, then looked at Gu Tingjun.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

"It turned out to be Noah, long time no see."

Gu Tingjun was a little surprised, but he still stood up and shook hands.

"Honey, this Gu is always my very important partner. Mr. Gu, this is my lover Linda."

Gu Tingjun nodded slightly: "Mrs. Linda, nice to meet you."

"Oh, Mr. Gu, this handsome young man should be your younger brother." Noah greeted Ning Xi enthusiastically, "Mr. Gu, I just knew that you are handsome and elegant, but I didn't expect my younger brother to be fresh and handsome."

For these adjectives, Noah used Chinese or idioms, and he seemed to have studied Chinese culture, which surprised Ning Xi.

Being mistaken for Gu Tingjun's younger brother and complimenting her, Ning Xi felt a little awkward, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Gu Tingjun.

"Xiao Xi, come next to me. Noah, if you don't mind, let's sit together."

Gu Tingjun knew that Noah liked Chinese culture very much on weekdays, so it was no surprise.

However, the words he used to praise Ning Xi were very useful to him.

Noah was still looking forward to having dinner with Gu Tingjun, and said repeatedly: "It's my honor."

Gu Tingjun moved Ning Xi's dinner plates into his own, and thoughtfully helped her tidy up all the napkins. Such a considerate move made Noah realize something.

If he can make this young boy happy today, there should be no problem with his contract renewal with Gu Tingjun.

After being seated, Noah's topic began to revolve around Ning Xi. When he learned that Ning Xi was studying at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, all kinds of compliments began to flow incessantly.

Ning Xi blushed upon hearing this, and was even a little embarrassed.

Noah has been observing Gu Tingjun's expression, and seeing him looking at Ning Xi with a smile in his eyes, he knows that his move is right.

With Noah's hard work to curry favor, the atmosphere of the meal was very good. At the end of the meal, Noah took out a small box from his bag and pushed it down in front of Ning Xi.

"Mr. Ning, this is the latest new business watch launched by our company, and I give it to you as a meeting gift."

Ning Xi was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No, no, this is too expensive and inappropriate."

She listened to their direct conversation just now, this watch cost more than [-] at worst.

No merit and no reward!
Ning Xi really had no reason to accept such an expensive gift when they met for the first time.

"It's just something from my company, so it's not expensive. Mr. Gu also knows that this watch will be promoted in the Chinese market after a while." Noah insisted that Ning Xi accept it.

Ning Xi, who couldn't refuse, could only look at Gu Tingjun, hoping that Gu Tingjun could help her refuse.

When Gu Tingjun received Ning Xi's call for help, he picked up the box and put it in her hand: "Take it. Thank you, Mr. Noah's kindness, and you are welcome to bring your wife to Haicheng. I will be waiting anytime."

Noah instantly became elated. Although Gu Tingjun didn't give him a clear answer, this sentence meant that he agreed to continue to cooperate with him.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Gu really loves you very much. I have never seen him take care of other people so considerately. It is really a blessing to have such a brother."

After sighing, Noah took his wife and left.

Ning Xi was still holding the watch box foolishly, feeling a little dreamlike and unreal.

This watch worth more than [-] yuan is the most expensive gift she has ever received.
