As soon as Gu Changheng finished speaking, the girl’s face turned slightly red, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
She had been running her stall next to Zhou Li for over half a year.
After her observation, she noticed Zhou Li was tall. Although he was not the handsome type of delicate young man, he had a very well-proportioned appearance. Plus, he was honest and hardworking. The girl considered the possibility of dating him.
Today, she specifically asked Zhou Li about his relationship status and whether he had bought a house. Unexpectedly, this dense man, Zhou Li, didn’t think of this, but the handsome and noble man before her immediately understood her meaning.
Zhou Li was still flustered by Gu Changheng’s words. He knew that he was poor and not worthy of Gu Changheng. Hearing it directly from someone he liked made him uncomfortable. His face turned red, and he couldn’t say a word for a long time.
He completely ignored the girl’s reaction.
From the moment Gu Changheng appeared in front of Zhou Li, there was no one else in his eyes.
Before Gu Changheng had been with Zhao Yunfeng, he had been the object of affection from many girls with different personalities. Now seeing the girl’s reaction, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head. He became even more angry and said coldly, “Heh, you two are well-suited, one sells skewers and the other sells cold noodles.”
The girl caught the hidden mockery in Gu Changheng’s words and retorted sharply, “What’s wrong with selling skewers and cold noodles? Did we steal your money or use the grain from your house? Why should we be looked down upon? If you’re so great, then never eat skewers or cold noodles in your life!”
Zhou Li saw Gu Changheng’s face darken further. Despite his usual slow reactions, he knew that he was clearly upset. He quickly apologized, “Yes, I’m sorry, she, I—”
“Why are you apologizing to him? He was the one who provoked us first.” The girl resembled a hen protecting her chicks.
The scene in front of him was unbearable for Gu Changheng. He felt that he couldn’t stay on this street for another second and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Li abandoned his stall in a panic and rushed after him. “Young Master Gu, wait for me!”
After chasing for half a street, Zhou Li finally caught up to Gu Changheng. He wiped his sweat and said, “Young Master Gu, don’t be angry. Don’t take it out on a little girl. Really… she didn’t mean anything by it… she’s actually quite nice. I don’t know what got into her today!”
“Ha!” Gu Changheng scoffed. “So she’s a nice person, which means I’m not? I’m awake at this hour when I should be resting, just to come here and intentionally make things difficult for a little girl?”
Zhou Li was at a loss for words and couldn’t think of what the problem was for a while.
While it seemed that Gu Changheng was just looking for trouble, in Zhou Li’s eyes, he was someone who held a high status and wouldn’t behave like that. Even if he did, the little girl didn’t seem to have done anything wrong!
Seeing Zhou Li’s distressed and anxious expression, Gu Changheng’s anger began to subside slightly. He said, “I don’t like her.”
“Who?”
“The one selling cold noodles.”
Zhou Li exclaimed “ah,” but didn’t know how to respond.
Gu Changheng added, “Tomorrow, change your stall’s location. From now on, whenever you see her, you’re not allowed to talk to her. Act like you don’t know her.”
“Okay.”
