After expressing her gratitude, Gu Nuan walked to the staircase, carefully holding the handrail as she descended.
When she reached the second floor, she saw Zhong Qiaohui standing by the railing, gazing down absentmindedly.
Looking over, Miss Zhong seemed to be daydreaming, resting her cheeks on both hands, as if she were in a dream.
Gu Nuan walked over to her and looked down as well, curious about what she was observing.
Glancing downstairs, since they had arrived in the afternoon, just as Zhuang Haoxiong said, tonight the place was planning to host these two esteemed guests. Thus, dinner preparations were already in full swing before the owner returned.
Staff bustled in and out, carrying China-made porcelain and other Chinese items, placing them in the hall and heading into the castle’s dining room to set up the tableware.
It truly resembled the luxurious setting of a noble family in a TV drama.
No wonder Miss Zhong felt like she was dreaming of being a princess.
Zhong Qiaohui had noticed her arrival and slowly turned her head, looking at her face, saying, "If you hadn’t met your current husband, and had really become the daughter-in-law here."
Gu Nuan interrupted her, "There’s no ’if’ in this world, so stop imagining what if."
Zhong Qiaohui pursed her lips, as though she could hardly communicate with someone as pragmatic as her.
Gu Nuan then recalled a question she had wanted to ask for a long time and said, "At the airport, what did he say to you that made you laugh like that."
At the airport, who knows how many people noticed. She was standing beside her, so she saw it most clearly. That smile of Zhong Qiaohui was an intriguing one; strictly speaking, it wasn’t a smile.
Zhong Qiaohui glanced at her, knowing she had Eyes of Golden Flame, and lazily yawned, stretching her arms on the railing, saying, "It’s nothing, he just said Zhang Sanfeng looks like a man he knows."
"Hmm?"
"He knows Brother Zhang. But that’s not surprising, is it? They’re both in business. The business circle is inherently small."
Gu Nuan understood; she intentionally laughed because she heard Brother Zhang, and more importantly, she laughed on purpose to show Zhang Sanfeng.
"He’s not a wooden figure; he’s a man pretending to be foolish, feigning sleep." With regard to Zhang Sanfeng’s indifferent reaction, Zhong Qiaohui said coldly, her tone seeming numbed, as if she had long lost the energy to be angry.
Gu Nuan told her, "We are preparing to leave in the morning."
"Huh? Not staying a few more days?"
"Otherwise, why doesn’t your Brother Zhang buy you a castle, then you can stay as long as you like."
This comment made Zhong Qiaohui laugh immediately. She clutched Gu Nuan’s shoulder, bending over, and laughed uncontrollably.
Gu Nuan felt as if she had taken a laughing pill today, especially since arriving at this castle.
Suddenly, a loud bang sounded from downstairs, capturing their attention.
In the downstairs hall, a worker accidentally dropped the porcelain plate he was holding, which shattered into pieces.
The supervisor responsible for the tableware rushed over, scolding the worker.
Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui frowned as they watched, but since it was a matter of their household management, it was inappropriate for them to interfere, so they proceeded upstairs.
Seeing the hustle below, they dared not descend further to add to the chaos, after all, they were guests here, not the hosts.
Afterward, Zhong Qiaohui sat in Gu Nuan’s room, and the two of them took out their own outfits, considering what to wear to the dinner party tonight, so as not to lose face in front of the Zhuang Family.
