Since when did he have a good relationship with Gu Xi? Why he doesn’t know it himself?

According to his mother’s letter, this small official surnamed Gu seems to be spreading those fake rumors in the capital, which made the people mistakenly think that he had a good prospect in marriage in the Qingyuan Town… …

Seeing Meng Nan had a serious face, although she was a little embarrassed, she doesn’t want to go back without a little achievement. Gu Xi set aside Meng Nan’s cold face and said with full of concern: “Meng Gege, I heard from the people in the kitchen that, you don’t eat so well these days. Well, I can see that you lose some weight. But, you only hurt your left hand, your right hand is still good, right? You shouldn’t be so difficult to yourself.”

Meng Nan held the fan on his hand but didn’t even fan himself. His eyes only stared at the door absentmindedly. Who knows if he heard her or not.

Gu Xi winked at her maidservant, and her maidservant stated taking out foods from the food box. A plate of delicate pastries and other two delicious cakes were placed on the table.

“Meng Gege, I personally made you these pastries and cake. You can taste them.”

Meng Nan looked at the desserts on the table, his lips curved with a trace of mockery: “You made them?”

Gu Xi busily nodded her head: “Mmm, I did. In order to learn these dishes, I put a lot of effort. I got up early today before even the sun goes up.”

Meng Nan reached out and took a piece of white pastry.

Seeing that Meng Nan was finally willing to eat the food she brought, Gu Xi’s mood became good. A flower-like smile bloomed in her face.

Meng Nan didn’t put the pastry on his mouth. Instead, he threw it on the side and pointed his finger on the empty space: “The next time you brought these pastries, remember to change the plate with Yipin’s trademark first. Otherwise, people will misunderstand that these are their products made.”

Although he is not familiar with Gu Xi, every time she will appear in front of him, he’s having a hard time to connect with her. Not to mention, he was a frequent visitor to this cake shop, so what pastries in there he hasn’t eaten?

Gu Xi wanted to find a hole to hide. Is there something more embarrassing in this world than to be caught lying?

Gu Xi’s face flushed, she turned her head and glared at her maidservant with eyes full of complaints, why she didn’t do things well and made her lose face in front of the man she loves?

The maidservant doesn’t know what to say, she was also feeling helpless inside her heart. Everyone knows now that her young miss was lying, why does she even need to tell this kind of lie?

Jin Shiwei came back from the kitchen while holding a plate in his hand and chewing something in his mouth. When he saw Gu Xi, he immediately frowned: “Miss Gu? Why are you here?”

Gu Xi was burning with anger, she cannot vent her anger to Meng Nan, but if it’s Jin Shiwei, she can do it.

“Jin Shiwei you are really funny. Here is the Gu’s residence. My father is the country’s magistrate, but you’re asking me, what? In this mansion, is there a place I can’t go?”

Jin Shiwei came over the plate and saw a few cakes on the table. He smiled and said: “Gongzi has long been tired of Yipin pastries. You go and take them back.”

Even Jin Shiwei can tell these are Yipin pastries in just one glance?

Gu Xi angrily stared at her maidservant “What are you still doing? Aren’t you still going to take them away?”

The maidservant hurriedly collected the pastries and other dishes on the table. When Jin Shiwei saw the table was empty, he placed the plate on his hand.

When Meng Nan smelled the scent, he immediately asked: “What is this?”
