Chapter 403: Chapter 405: Zhang Lan Arrives Early Again
After finishing dinner, although Gu Tiantian didn’t feel out of breath, her cheeks were slightly red as she looked at the nearly empty big soup bowl.
Fortunately, Bai Chenyao wasn’t around, which made her feel a bit at ease.
"Um..."
Before she finished speaking, a beep beep sound came from the phone.
Gu Tiantian cursed a silent expletive in her heart, then took a deep breath.
She couldn’t argue with Bai Chenyao; otherwise, she would always be the unlucky one.
After drinking a bit too much soup, Gu Tiantian wandered around the living room for a while before heading to the bathroom.
It was Mrs. Chen who was very pleased to see her come out of the bathroom.
"Miss Gu, your appetite was pretty good today. If you eat this much every meal, you’ll likely gain weight soon."
She said this while looking at Gu Tiantian with eyes full of hope.
Gu Tiantian couldn’t quite handle it and looked at Mrs. Chen with a smiling face.
"That’s because Mrs. Chen’s cooking is so good, I’m feeling a bit too full right now. Um... I’ll go for a walk to digest."
Without waiting for Mrs. Chen to respond, Gu Tiantian quickly left the living room and went outside.
After taking a lap outside and preparing to return, Gu Tiantian saw Zhang Lan appear in her sight, wearing a blue and white striped long dress.
She raised her eyebrows, a bit surprised.
Today, because of the phone call with Bai Chenyao during dinner, her speed slowed down, but not by nearly an hour.
"Tian Tian!"
Seeing Gu Tiantian’s surprised expression, Zhang Lan greeted her very cheerfully.
Before Gu Tiantian could recover, Zhang Lan was already standing in front of her.
"I know I arrived early today, but I happened to have something to do here, so I thought I’d come over since I would have to make the trip anyway. So, I decided to come early."
Gu Tiantian showed an expression of understanding and looked at Zhang Lan with smiling eyes.
"Oh, I see. I was wondering why Mr. Zhang came so early when there’s still about three hours before class."
Saying this, Gu Tiantian began walking back with a smile.
"Let’s go, I was just planning to go back for a nap. If Mr. Zhang doesn’t mind, you can rest in the guest room to be more energetic for the afternoon class."
Zhang Lan was eager for this and nodded brightly with a big smile.
"Thank you so much!"
Seeing that Gu Tiantian didn’t suspect her motives, Zhang Lan’s tense nerves settled.
Returning to the living room with Zhang Lan, they happened to meet Mrs. Chen, who was bringing out some fruit.
"Mrs. Chen, Mr. Zhang is here on business and prefers not to go back and forth, so she’s come early. Please make the arrangements."
Since this wasn’t her home, she couldn’t directly take Zhang Lan to the guest room to rest.
But in Zhang Lan’s eyes, Gu Tiantian’s words took on a different meaning.
It seemed as though she wasn’t as welcoming as she appeared.
However, since she was already here and had already made up her mind, she had no intention of changing her plans.
As for Gu Tiantian’s attitude...
For now, she would bear it, and in the future...
Flashing through her mind was Bai Chenyao’s handsome, cold face, and Zhang Lan lowered her gaze with a slight smile.
As soon as she saw Mrs. Chen approaching, she quickly put on a bright and hearty smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Chen. I’m really sorry for the intrusion."
Mrs. Chen looked at Zhang Lan and smiled politely.
"Not at all, Miss Zhang is Miss Gu’s tutor. Coming early must mean you’re eager to give Miss Gu extra lessons. It’s very considerate of you, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Lan was secretly surprised, feeling as though Mrs. Chen might have a problem with her.
But upon closer examination of Mrs. Chen’s gentle and respectful smile, she felt she might be overthinking it.
