Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 402 Everything is normal

Gu Xingruo smiled slightly after hearing this, and she stuck out her tongue: "Really?"

Xu Wen didn't say anything else, but just looked at the eldest lady quietly, as if his eyes could see her flaws clearly.

Gu Xingruo finally couldn't hold on any longer.

She turned her face away and said to Xu Wen: "I just want to strengthen the impression of Xia Ning in everyone's mind, a girl who is persistent in love. I hope she will consider her career more in the future."

Her voice became quieter and quieter.

After much hesitation, I only said the last sentence in my heart: "It's best not to ruin my image."

Under Gu Xingruo's "packaging", Xia Ning has now become a public figure after all.

She hoped that this promising young writer would not steal someone else's boyfriend out of selfish desires and thus ruin her career.

"If that's all you think about today, then you've done a good job," Xu Wen commented.

He roughly guessed what Gu Xingruo was thinking.

But there was no way Xia Ning would give up what she really wanted to do because of work or any other reason.

If that were true, then she would not be Xia Ning, and would not have done what she did before.

Xu Wen felt that the eldest lady was thinking too simply.

But it’s better to keep it simple.

On the way back, the two talked about the rose specimen again.

When talking about this, Gu Xingruo felt a little regretful.

If she had known that something that cost less than a hundred dollars could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars after being signed, she would have made a few more.

Xu Wen found it hard to imagine such a scene.

Gu Xingruo sent someone to push a bunch of roses soaked in formalin onto the stage, and then asked Xia Ning to sign each one.

A little weird.

"Did you take the initiative to ask Xia Ning the last question at the book signing session?" Xu Wen asked.

Not many people knew that Xia Ning was going for psychotherapy, and Gu Xingruo was one of them.

Asking this kind of question proactively in such a public place is simply poking at the other person's psychological shadow.

Gu Xingruo looked away again: "I think everyone would be curious about this question, right? After all, what she wrote is so true."

Such an answer is no different from a disguised admission.

Xu Wen didn't ask any more questions.

There is no need to force the eldest lady to admit in person that she had specifically asked someone.

As long as there's no fighting going on, it's fine.

Everything is still under control.

Gu Xingruo also knew that it was not good to deliberately make excuses.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them had suddenly become a little silent, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, is Lingling here today too? Ask her what she wants to eat, and I'll ask the kitchen to make it for her."

Xu Wen then remembered that he seemed to have not seen Xu Ling for some time.

I don’t know where this little girl went to play by herself without even telling him.

"She should still be in the hotel." Xu Wen took out his cell phone and prepared to call his sister.

As soon as he took out his cell phone, he saw the text message Xu Ling sent him.

"I went to Sister Yi Yao's studio to play. I wanted to see the kittens and the little skirts. I wish you and Sister Ruoruo a happy date."

After seeing this, Xu Wen shook his head helplessly.

It had only been a short while since he last saw Xu Ling, and she had already disappeared.

Although she is about to turn eighteen and is an adult, he, as her brother, can't help but worry about her. After all, she is an important family member of his.

Xu Wen exited the text message interface and called Yang Yiyao directly.

The phone was connected after a few beeps, and the senior student's frivolous voice came from the other end: "Moximoxi, this is the powerful CEO Yang, what can I do for you?"

Xu Wen skipped the joke and asked directly, "Is Lingling with you?"

Yang Yiyao stopped pretending and coughed lightly before replying seriously, "She's here with me. She just came back with me. Don't worry, I'll take her home after she finishes playing tonight."

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the affirmative answer.

"I'll pick her up in a bit."

After saying this, Xu Wen hung up the phone without caring what the person on the other end of the line had to say.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xingruo asked with concern.

"Lingling went to Yang Yiyao. I'll pick her up later." Xu Wen explained softly.

After hearing this, Gu Xingruo said "hmm" with a hint of regret in her tone.

But she quickly came to her senses and put a smile on her face again: "Then let's have dinner together."

After she finished speaking, she took Xu Wen's hand and walked forward with big strides, muttering, "Date! Date!"

Xu Wen also followed suit and cooperated.

Only then did he realize that because they had been busy recently, the two of them seemed to have not gone out on a proper date for a long time.

Of course, the day when Gu Xingruo accompanied him to class cannot be counted.

The eldest thought that going to class together was a date, but he didn't think so.

Since it was a date, Xu Wen decided to forget the troubles in his mind for a while.

The two of them came to the room that Gu Xingruo had prepared long ago.

They didn't need to order, the dishes were brought to them one by one.

Gu Xingruo picked up the bag that the staff had just handed her and took out a document from it.

"By the way, Shengsheng came here earlier and asked me to give this to you." She handed over the document in her hand.

Xu Wen took the file. Inside the folder was the interns’ materials, including detailed information about each intern.

As he turned the pages, he asked, "Did Lan Qiusheng come here today?"

Gu Xingruo put away her bag and said, "I came here, but I left after a short while. I just came to deliver some documents."

The eldest lady did not forget to take credit, and continued to add: "How is it? Is the secretary I found for you very dedicated?"

Xu Wen quickly read the document and found nothing wrong in it. As the boss, he just went through the motions to read it.

He put the document down: "It's very professional, but I should be the first to discover this person, right?"

While admitting it, he also did not forget to undermine it.

After saying this, Xu Wen recalled the scene in the park that night.

Lan Qiu Sheng boldly revealed the feelings that he had always hidden in his heart.

Xu Wen felt that she was better than himself.

At least back then, if he met someone he liked, he would only dare to keep his love hidden in his heart. It was impossible for him to express it, or he could not even muster the emotion of love.

But this is also a difference between men and women.

What is there to say?

How dare a clean-handed man mislead a beautiful woman?

Girls don’t have this worry.

Lan Qiu Sheng was indeed very professional, so professional that he almost robbed Gu Xingruo's house after she left. Xu Wen silently complained in his heart.

Gu Xingruo felt a little unconvinced after hearing what Xu Wen said.

She started to act like a spoiled brat: "I don't care. I was the one who first proposed that she be the secretary, so that's my credit."

Xu Wen did not insist and put on a surrendering look: "Okay, okay, it's all your credit."

Gu Xingruo was satisfied now.

"Xia Ning also saw Lan Qiusheng when she was born. She also gave her a signed book. Your ex-girlfriend gave my employees a signed book."

The eldest lady looked unhappy when she spoke.

However, this expression came and went quickly. She continued, "Do you think she can figure out who the prototype of the novel is?" She had a sly smile on her face as she spoke.

Xu Wen stirred the drink in front of him helplessly: "That's just a novel."

Yeah, that's just fiction.

So he doesn't actually care who the prototype is.

It would be a good thing if Xia Ning could vent her pent-up emotions by writing these novels.

Gu Xingruo smiled even more happily after hearing Xu Wen's explanation.

She picked up the drink and gently touched it to Xu Wen's cup: "Yes, it's just a novel, just like today's book signing is just an ordinary business event."

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of her drink, then pointed at her clothes and said, "But you look really good in formal clothes, no wonder Xia Ning kept taking pictures secretly.

While the two were chatting, the main course was brought up.

The waiter brought the dishes to the table and opened the two lids: "Fried foie gras with rose sauce."

The foie gras on the porcelain plate is drizzled with dark red sauce.

Xu Wen found that he had a hard time with Rose today.

He stared at the sauce on the foie gras.

The sauce is very dark in color, almost black and red
When Gu Xingruo saw that Xu Wen didn't pick up the knife and fork, she took the initiative to cut a piece for her and put it to his mouth to feed him.

"Don't worry, it's not human blood. I'm not as perverted as Xia Ning." She joked.

Xu Wen ate the foie gras handed to him by Gu Xingruo. It had a mellow taste, with the flavor of rose essence mixed with the milky aroma of foie gras, just like eating a bite of ice cream.

"It's okay even if it's human blood." Xu Wen gently wiped the dark red sauce remaining at the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Gu Xingruo shuddered when she heard this. She was indeed the one who couldn't take a joke.

The eldest lady shrank her neck and said, "Forget it."

When she saw Xu Wen's upturned mouth corners, she knew that she was being teased again.

"Xia Ning said in the book that blood mixed with lemon juice is very suitable for pickling hearts. She probably hasn't actually tried it, right?" Gu Xingruo put a piece of goose liver into her mouth.

"Who knows." Xu Wen gave an ambiguous answer.

Later, steak was served. He cut a piece for Gu Xingruo and handed it to her.

"Who would bring up someone else on a date? Right?" He took the initiative to end the topic.

Gu Xingruo opened her mouth and took a big bite: "It's really boring. I'm just a little surprised that her book can sell so well."

Xu Wen silently cut the steak on the plate.

While cutting, he said: "Everyone has a curiosity."

He gave an answer that seemed reasonable but sounded like nonsense.

Xu Wen cut the steak and placed it in front of Gu Xingruo.

Gu Xingruo started eating without any hesitation.

"Perhaps everyone wants to know what kind of experience a person who could write 'If you can't get the love you want, make it into a specimen' so realistically has experienced," she added.

"Are you curious?" Xu Wen asked proactively.

Gu Xingruo quickly shook her head.

If possible, she didn't want to know what happened to Xia Ning.

But unfortunately, she was one of the few people who knew about it.

Xu Wen did not continue the previous topic. He took the initiative to ask about Gu Xingruo's life in Linda.

The two of them naturally started talking about other things.

Xia Ning's matter still exists, but no one mentions it anymore.

After dinner, Gu Xingruo took out a card. It was obviously a room card with the room number written on it.

Xu Wen took the card and looked at it carefully.

He casually joked, "You are forcing me to make mistakes."

Gu Xingruo lifted her skirt slightly, revealing a pair of slender legs: "How can our affairs be called mistakes?"

A pair of white legs flashed by.

Gu Xingruo stood up from the chair and shook the room card in her hand: "Are you going to pick up Lingling? I'll wait for you at the hotel."

After saying that, she didn't stay any longer, but turned and left, leaving only her back.

Xu Wen knew that he had to hand in his homework again.

He was only 20 years old, so why did he have the mentality of a middle-aged man? He felt that he should change.

Big Head can be as mature as a middle-aged man and be able to make plans.

But the small head can't do it.

Xu Wen also stood up and left the room. After walking to the parking lot, he called Yang Yiyao first.

After confirming that Xu Ling was at Black Cat Tarot, he started the car.

The car left the parking lot and drove into the night.

Xu Wen soon stood at the door of Black Cat Tarot.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai waiting impatiently at the door. As soon as he appeared, they surrounded him and rubbed against his legs.

The two little black cats rubbed against each other and meowed.

It was as if she was asking him why he hadn't come to see them for so long.

Following closely behind was Xu Ling.

She looked at the two cats and one person in front of her with shock.

"When Sister Yi Yao told me this, I didn't believe it. How did you do it, brother? Why do they like you and not me?" Xu Ling's tone was unbelievable.

She even leaned close to Xu Wen to smell it to make sure he didn't have catnip on him.

Xu Wen looked up.

At this time, my sister was wearing a light green Lolita dress with wings made of gauze on the back of her skirt.

Xu Ling looks a bit like an elf in a fairy tale.

Now wearing this skirt, it looks even more like that, as if she is about to fly away at any time.

"Maybe you were a dog in your previous life. Dogs are naturally incompatible with cats. When you wag your tail at a cat, they think you want to fight." Xu Wen joked.

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up both cats.

Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai were very cooperative and didn't struggle at all.

Facing her brother's "slander", Xu Ling was already used to it. She snorted softly: "I am a puppy, and you are a big dog."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Wen did not refute.

Yang Yiyao also followed behind, and after seeing the interaction between the two, she said with deep emotion: "You two siblings have such a good relationship. I thought siblings would become strangers after growing up."

After hearing this, Xu Ling suddenly jumped in front of Yang Yiyao and pointed at her: "It appeared! Classic line!"

This jump also scared Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai.

"Lines? What lines?" Yang Yiyao didn't understand.

Xu Ling explained with a proud look on her face: "In novels and anime, whenever people see two people bickering, they will say 'You two have such a good relationship'!"

Yang Yiyao gave two dry laughs after hearing this. She didn't understand what was so funny at first, so she just gave two dry laughs out of politeness.

Xu Wen walked to the sofa and sat down nonchalantly: "Don't worry about her, she just reads too many novels and sometimes gets sick."

After she finished complaining, she pointed at her sister and said, "Give the clothes back to them, and let's go home."

Xu Ling had no intention of changing clothes. She skipped to the sofa.

Xiaobai and Xiaoxiaobai ran away as soon as they saw her.

"Sister Yi Yao said she has something to tell you. It won't take long. Let's stay for a while."
