It feels like I’m getting closer to him.
Gu Nuan thought.
As her fingers pulled the curtains closed, a breeze seemed to blow in from the north.
Behind her, Zhong Qiaohui was on the phone with someone.
"Brother Zhang? Yes, I’m in Luxembourg. You say you’re spending the night in the desert? That sounds so fun. Did you go to see the drilling platform?"
It seems that Miss Zhong is very curious, almost like a three-year-old child, so Brother Zhang apparently won’t find her particularly bothersome.
Zhong Qiaohui suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, then fell onto Gu Nuan’s bed, laughing nonstop.
Her sudden action, like a bear rolling, made Zhan Dapeng, who had just been given permission to enter, look surprised.
"Who is she talking to?" Zhan Dapeng asked.
"With Brother Zhang," Gu Nuan replied.
There seemed to be a flicker of displeasure in Zhan Dapeng’s eyes, as he slipped one hand into his pocket and negotiated with Gu Nuan, "How do you plan to get to tomorrow night’s cocktail party?"
"Actually, this cocktail party is something Chairman Zhan invited me to. I need to meet Chairman Zhan at the entrance, and at that time, it’s uncertain if I can bring someone in. — What about you guys?" Gu Nuan turned to ask him.
"Zhang Sanfeng is banned from entering that place." Zhan Dapeng tugged at his collar with his other hand, seemingly a bit vexed.
When they came here, they did not expect Zhang Sanfeng to be banned by the hosts. The reason given was simple: Zhang Sanfeng was on the top of the banned list in casinos around the world. Although this wasn’t a casino, Zhang Sanfeng’s abilities might cause chaos among the investors attending.
The hosts needed to maintain the basic order in the venue, especially the bidding order, so they wouldn’t allow someone like Zhang Sanfeng to enter the venue.
Gu Nuan had just heard about this situation as well, and she felt as confused as they did.
"If sister-in-law agrees—" Zhan Dapeng proposed a suggestion.
"Do you want to follow me inside?" Gu Nuan seemed to grasp their idea and asked.
"No, it’s not me." Zhan Dapeng said, looking at her with a slightly troubled gaze, "We discussed it and thought it would be best if the sixth, Sixth Brother, accompanied sister-in-law inside."
That’s because Wei Changqing is in this line of work. Although Zhan Dapeng knows some martial arts, in terms of professional expertise with knives and guns, he can’t compare to Wei Changqing.
The compromise they made was clearly out of concern for her safety. After all, she was their brother’s wife.
"I won’t have any objections to him." Hearing this, Gu Nuan’s reaction seemed to surprise them.
At this moment, standing outside with his arms crossed, not sure if eavesdropping counts, Wei Changqing began tapping the back of his other hand with his long fingers, seemingly finding her answer troublesome.
If she had chosen a more aggressive response, it could have made them seem more distant, perhaps making future tasks easier. Yet, she said this.
This woman can only be described as smart. She clearly knows he doesn’t think much of her, his attitude is indifferent, and she has opportunities to be mad at him, but she absolutely will not use them. Because all reasons are outweighed by one reason: he is her husband’s brother.
This woman is quite adept at dealing with men.
Who taught her this is unknown.
Zhan Dapeng, standing in the middle, must have felt like the filling in a sandwich, so he lowered his voice and secretly gestured to Gu Nuan, "Sixth brother has a weakness."
