"You have a problem with that?" Gu Zheng still gave him a cold look.
"...No..." Qin Hao silently tried to calm himself down.
Gu Zheng: "Since there isn't one, hurry up and do it. I need to see it by noon."
"...I understand." Qin Hao silently took out his phone and started looking up guides.
Xia Ran had no idea what Gu Zheng and Qin Hao were talking about. Right now, he was happily picking out clothes with Gu Chen to wear when they went out at noon.
Since he rarely gets to go out with Ah Zheng, he naturally wants to carefully choose his clothes.
After marrying Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng gave him a card. Knowing that he couldn't embarrass Gu Zheng because of his status, he bought several sets of expensive, brand-name clothes.
However, he doesn't usually wear these outfits. He usually wears the ones he buys on Taobao, which are affordable and comfortable.
But this time when he went out, he planned to wear nice clothes. Although he felt that they were no different from the ones he bought on Taobao, he was worried that others would notice. It wouldn't be good if he ran into someone Gu Zheng knew.
However, everything Xia Ran bought for Gu Chen was a brand name item.
"Xiao Chen, which one do you like? The white one? Or this orange one? Or this gray one?"
Xia Ran laid out the clothes she had picked out for Gu Chen on the bed, and then let Gu Chen choose the one he liked.
Gu Chen blinked, looked up at Xia Ran, then at the outfit Xia Ran had chosen, and then pointed to the white one.
"I want...this!" Gu Chen slammed his hand on his clothes, looking incredibly domineering.
Xia Ran burst out laughing when he saw it. He had actually thought that Xiao Chen's way of patting the clothes looked like those extravagant rich kids taking their girlfriends shopping.
It's the kind of thing where your girlfriend glances at it and immediately waves her hand at the waiter to wrap it up.
When Gu Chen heard Xia Ran's laughter, he raised his head in confusion and looked at Xia Ran blankly.
"Daddy?"
Hearing Gu Chen's voice, Xia Ran also realized that her previous idea was a bit unreliable!
How could a father think of his son like that!
His son is indeed a rich second-generation, but he is definitely not an irresponsible rich second-generation!
Xia Ran picked Gu Chen up and said,
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Daddy was just happy because he was thinking about going out to play with Xiaochen later."
Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled, wrapped his arms around Xia Ran's neck, and rubbed his head against it, looking very dependent on her.
"Chen... is also happy..." Gu Chen's words were still intermittent, but it was much better than before.
Xia Ran happily hugged Gu Chen as she tidied up her clothes, and then took a nap around lunchtime.
The alarm clock rang, and Xia Ran picked up Gu Chen to get up, wash, and change clothes.
When Xia Ran was about to leave the room, she thought for a moment and decided to bring a plain-colored cardboard bag with her.
The bag was quite large, and it looked like it was filled with something.
When Xia Ran and the others arrived downstairs, Uncle Wang was about to go upstairs to greet them, but now that he saw them coming down, he didn't need to go up anymore.
“You’ve come down at the perfect time. I was just thinking of going up to call you for dinner. I made all your favorite dishes today. I also made the young master’s favorite dishes, but he said he was too busy to come back for dinner.”
Uncle Wang said with a smile.
Upon hearing Uncle Wang's words, Xia Ran suddenly had a new idea in her mind.
Chapter 35 Even Icebergs Can Smile
His face flushed slightly, and he looked at Uncle Wang somewhat embarrassedly, asking,
"Uncle Wang, could I... could I take Xiao Chen to deliver lunch to A-Zheng? I told him I would take Xiao Chen out to play this afternoon, so we can go there now."
His voice trailed off, clearly embarrassed.
Uncle Wang was momentarily stunned upon hearing Xia Ran's words, but he quickly recovered and replied with a smile.
"Of course, please sit on the sofa for a moment, and I'll have them prepare it right away."
After saying that, Uncle Wang turned around and went to the kitchen with a smile.
He was happy to accept Xia Ran's suggestion.
Xia Ran is a good person, and he has seen Gu Chen's changes, so of course he wants Xia Ran and Gu Zheng to get together and cultivate their relationship.
After Uncle Wang left, Xia Ran sat down on the sofa with Gu Chen in her arms.
He looked down slightly and saw Gu Chen staring at him.
For some reason, seeing Gu Chen like this made Xia Ran feel even more embarrassed, as if Gu Chen had seen through her little thoughts.
Her face flushed red instantly.
"Baby... why are you looking at Daddy like that? Is there something dirty on Daddy's face?"
He spoke with feigned confusion, though his ears were already burning red.
Indeed, he did miss A-Zheng a bit.
But isn't that how everyone is when they're facing someone they like? Aren't they all eager to see that person all the time?
Gu Chen blinked innocently and replied,
"without……"
Xia Ran looked at Gu Chen's serious answer and suddenly burst out laughing.
His son is just so adorable!
"Baby, how can you be so cute! Daddy loves you to death!"
He kissed Gu Chen's face hard.
Gu Chen blushed instantly after being kissed, making him look even cuter.
Uncle Wang quickly prepared the meal.
It is a rectangular wooden box that looks like an ancient food box.
Xia Ran knew that this was the Gu family's lunchbox. It had two layers inside and was quite spacious, so it was no problem to put food for several people inside.
Uncle Wang had his servant help him carry the food box onto the car.
But just as Xia Ran was about to get on the bus, she suddenly remembered something else.
“Uncle Wang, I…I haven’t called Zheng yet to tell him we’re coming over, so…”
He was afraid that his sudden visit would cause trouble for Gu Zhengtian.
Besides, he had interned at Ah Zheng's company before, so some people would know him.
Thinking about this, Xia Ran became even more hesitant.
"Let's forget about it, let's just eat at home."
Xia Ran's tone was clearly filled with disappointment.
After listening to Xia Ran's words, Uncle Wang paused slightly, but he did not agree with Xia Ran not going. Instead, he said...
"Yes, you should go, but you can just call the young master now and tell him. He won't be angry."
He had seen his eldest son's recent reactions to Xia Ran, which was why he dared to let Xia Ran make this call.
Although his eldest son wouldn't like Xia Ran, he would always agree to any request Xia Ran made.
"Is this okay?" Xia Ran was a little uneasy, but she couldn't deny that she was persuaded by Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang: "Of course you can. Listen to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang won't harm you."
With Wang Bo's words, Xia Ran felt reassured. She gritted her teeth, took out her phone, and called Gu Zheng.
Ah Zheng's attitude towards him has improved a lot recently, so it seems unlikely that he will do anything to him.
Gu Zheng was looking at documents when he received Xia Ran's call, while his assistant waited beside him.
When Gu Zheng saw that it was Xia Ran calling, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
What does Xia Ran want to do by calling him at this time?
It's no wonder Gu Zheng thought that way, because Xia Ran rarely called him.
Little did he know that Xia Ran didn't call him because she didn't want to bother him, but in reality, she wanted to call him all the time.
"Hello." Gu Zheng answered the phone, but his gaze remained fixed on the documents in front of him.
Perhaps even Gu Zheng himself didn't realize how gentle his "hello" had been, which left his assistant completely stunned.
Hearing Gu Zheng's voice, Xia Ran became even more nervous, but thinking about cultivating their relationship, he still mustered up the courage to speak.
"Ah Zheng, are you busy right now? Have you eaten yet?"
Gu Zheng: Not yet.
"Then... then Xiao Chen and I will bring you food, and then we can eat together at the company, okay? And... we can go out and have fun together in the afternoon."
Xia Ran blurted out everything in one breath, and then waited anxiously for Gu Zheng's reply.
Gu Zheng was deep in thought. If Xia Ran came over, it would indeed save a lot of time.
After all, he was really busy today.
But not wanting to disappoint Xia Ran, he had no choice but to agree to go out with her.
Now all he can do is catch up on his work.
Xia Ran hadn't heard a reply from Gu Zheng, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She couldn't help but ask,
"Ah... Ah Zheng, are you very busy? Or is it inconvenient for you? If it's inconvenient, then forget it. Xiao Chen and I will eat at home."
Upon hearing Xia Ran's words, Gu Zheng immediately snapped out of his reverie and said,
"No, come over here, I'll have the driver bring you over."
"Really?" Xia Ran's eyes lit up instantly, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Of course it's true. I'll have someone pick you up when you arrive."
