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

Chapter 409 The Miss Actually Knows Everything
Xu Wen and Lan Qiu Sheng looked at the coffee in front of them, and no one spoke.

Finally, he took the initiative to break the silence: "When do you plan to leave?"

"It depends on your arrangement, but you have to wait until I finish handing over all the work here." Lan Qiu Sheng replied.

She found that she no longer had any attachment to this place, and was even looking forward to her upcoming trip to Jinling.

Xu Wen nodded: "The company will arrange accommodation and office space for you when the time comes. Please let me know if you need anything."

He stood up, and Lan Qiu Sheng stood up as well.

The two stood face to face, neither knowing what to say.

Finally, Xu Wen held out his hand: "I'll leave the Jinling branch to you."

This was not just a compliment; he really meant it.

Lan Qiusheng is not only capable at work, but most importantly, he is trustworthy.

Sometimes a close female friend is more reliable than many other relationships.

The ability to work in this kind of management position is not the most important thing; the most important thing is being trustworthy.

With Lan Qiu Sheng in Jinling, Xu Wen can feel more at ease.

His mood was a little complicated for a moment, perhaps he was happy.

Lan Qiusheng held his hand, feeling the warmth and strength coming from his palm: "I won't let you down."

Xu Wen smiled, let go of her hand and turned to leave.

Lan Qiu Sheng stood there, watching his back gradually disappear in the sunlight at the door of the cafe.

Out of his sight, she waved gently.

"Lan Qiusheng is going to Jinling?"

Gu Xingruo was so shocked that she instantly crushed the Coke can in her hand.

There was still a lot of Coke in it, and it all spilled out.

She hurriedly stood up from the sofa and took out a tissue from the toilet paper to clean up the spilled Coke.

Fortunately, the sofa in the office is made of leather, which makes it easy for her to clean it.

Gu Xingruo moved the troublesome hem of her skirt aside, and the lace on it swayed slightly as she suddenly turned around.

Xu Wen raised his head from the computer screen, took off his blue light blocking glasses and rubbed his nose bridge: "Well, she applied on her own initiative. Sister Jiang will take her for a while, and she will be mainly responsible for the development of the university market."

Gu Xingruo finally breathed a sigh of relief after wiping the Coke clean. She took a few quick steps and hurried to Xu Wen's desk.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground was steady and crisp, but Xu Wen could feel the eldest lady's sudden tense emotions.

Gu Xingruo asked hurriedly: "When are we leaving?"

She walked to the desk and jumped directly onto it.

"Next week, anytime."

After answering, Xu Wen gently placed his hand on her shoulder and comforted her: "Ruoruo, this is her own choice."

Gu Xingruo's shoulders trembled slightly under his palm: "I know."

She rubbed her face, then a bright smile appeared on her face again. She sighed softly and smiled helplessly: "I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect her to be so bold and leave as soon as she said she would."

Xu Wen looked at the loneliness that flashed across her delicate face and whispered, "What are you worried about?"

"Worried? I just think it's weird that she went to such a far place alone." Gu Xingruo chuckled, her fingers unconsciously playing with the hair around her ears.

Her voice became quieter and quieter, until she almost started talking to herself.

Xu Wen suddenly understood something.

He reached out and lifted Gu Xing off the table, placing her on his lap. He felt her momentary stiffness and then quickly relaxed.

"She needs to grow up, just like you. Everyone has their own path to go." Xu Wen rested his head on Gu Xingruo's shoulder, smelling the faint rose scent in her hair.

Gu Xingruo groaned in his arms, then suddenly raised her head: "I'm going to hold a farewell party for her! At my villa!"

Xu Wen looked at her eyes that lit up instantly and couldn't help but smile: "Sure, whatever you say is fine."

Three days later, Gu Xingruo's villa was brightly lit.

The yard was hung with colorful lights, and there was a long table by the swimming pool, piled with exquisite snacks and various wines.

Lan Qiu Sheng stood at the door, tugging at her new dress awkwardly.

This was the "farewell party outfit" that Gu Xingruo forced upon her yesterday.

Many times more expensive than all the clothes in her wardrobe combined.

"Shengsheng! You're finally here! I thought you were going to stand me up!" Gu Xingruo rushed out of the villa and hugged her.

Lan Qiusheng was almost out of breath in her embrace, and the faint floral scent of Gu Xingruo lingered on his nose: "I will definitely come. Thank you for organizing this farewell party for me."

Gu Xingruo let her go, looked her up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "I said this skirt suits you! It looks much better than when you wear a suit!"

Without further ado, she pulled Lan Qiusheng's hand and walked into the yard: "Come in quickly, everyone is waiting!"

Lan Qiu Sheng was dragged forward by her, his eyes sweeping over the crowd in the yard.

Xu Wenzheng and Jiang Xiaqing were standing by the swimming pool talking, Ding Yue and several college classmates were gathered around the snack table, and even Yang Yiyao came. She was wearing an ordinary black long skirt and leaning against the bar, tasting wine alone.

"You invited so many people?" Lan Qiu Sheng asked in a low voice, his palms beginning to sweat.

Gu Xingruo turned around and winked at her: "Of course! This party is for you!"

She suddenly raised her voice: "Everyone! Tonight's protagonist is here!"

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him, and Lan Qiusheng's face turned red instantly.

She waved sheepishly.

Gu Xingruo didn't care at all and pulled her to the center of the yard: "We won't go home until we're drunk tonight! If anyone dares to sneak away early, I'll throw him into the swimming pool!"

Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Xu Wen came over and handed Lan Qiusheng a glass of juice: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as an ordinary party."

Lan Qiusheng took the cup gratefully.

The words Xia Ning said to her that night suddenly emerged in her mind.

"Xu Wen is that kind of person. Even when you least deserve to be loved, he will find reasons to continue to care about you."

"He could make you feel like you were the most important person in the world, even though you knew he did that to everyone."

Lan Qiu Sheng shook his head gently, trying to get rid of these words from his mind.

She put aside her thoughts and tried to blend into the party.

Lan Qiu Sheng knew that if she wanted to go, she had to get used to this kind of occasion in advance.

Halfway through the party, Gu Xingruo suddenly knocked on his wine glass, and the crisp sound gradually quieted the conversation.

"I have something to say. First of all, thank you all for coming to Shengsheng's farewell party." She stood on a small platform, the light shone on her, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

Lan Qiu Sheng stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at Gu Xingruo, who had become the focus, at a loss.

"Shengsheng wants to go to Jinling to expand the market. This is her choice, and I respect it."

Gu Xingruo's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Lan Qiusheng.

She suddenly raised her voice: "But! Anyone who dares to bully her over there will be against me, Gu Xingruo!"

The eldest lady is still the eldest lady.

Everyone burst into laughter again. Yang Yiyao joked, "Our arms are not that long to reach Jinling." Gu Xingruo raised his chin proudly, "I have asked my father to contact friends at the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Someone will pick Qiu Sheng up when he gets there."

She jumped off the platform, walked up to Lan Qiusheng, and handed her a small box: "This is a gift for you."

Lan Qiu Sheng took the box and opened it under the gaze of everyone.

Inside was an exquisite ginkgo leaf-shaped brooch, which was almost exactly the same as the one she got from Yu's mother, except that it was made of gold.

"I can't accept this." Lan Qiu Sheng looked at the brooch in shock. This gift was too expensive.

Gu Xingruo took the brooch without hesitation and pinned it on her collar: "Don't refuse! You said it yourself. Secretary Yu told you that ginkgo represents tenacity and hope. I also hope that everything goes well for you in Jinling."

Her voice suddenly lowered so that only Lan Qiusheng could hear it: "Don't forget that we are friends in Linjiang."

Lan Qiusheng's eyes instantly turned red.

She opened her arms and gave Gu Xingruo a tight hug: "Thank you, Ruoruo."

The party continued late into the night.

Xu Wen was pulled away by Jiang Xiaqing to discuss company affairs, while Lan Qiu Sheng was surrounded by Ding Yue and other classmates and was reminded of various precautions.

Gu Xingruo stood at the door of the villa with a perfect smile on her face, but her eyes were a little vague.

She drank a little too much tonight.

"Everyone is about to leave, why are you still standing here pretending to be a door god?" Yang Yiyao's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Gu Xingruo turned around and found that she had been standing behind him with a half glass of red wine in her hand.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Gu Xingruo asked with a frown.

Yang Yiyao shook her wine glass and said, "I want to talk to you about Lan Qiusheng."

Gu Xingruo's drunkenness instantly dissipated a little: "What's wrong with her?"

Yang Yiyao did not answer directly, but walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, crossing her legs elegantly: "Don't you find it strange? Why did she suddenly want to go to Jinling?"

"For career, for growth, what's so strange about that?" Gu Xingruo sat down opposite her and looked at her warily.

Yang Yiyao chuckled: "Do you really believe that it's just like this? She likes Xu Wen, do you know?"

She leaned forward, her voice lowered.

Gu Xingruo's expression did not fluctuate at all: "I know."

This answer was obviously beyond Yang Yiyao's expectations. Her eyebrows raised high: "You know?"

"Of course, I'm not blind." Gu Xingruo picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and took a sip.

Yang Yiyao narrowed her eyes, trying to find a trace of disguise on Gu Xingruo's face: "Then why are you still so nice to her tonight? You held a farewell party for her and gave her such an expensive gift?"

She found that she could hardly understand the young lady in front of her.

People change very quickly, and a lot of changes can be seen in just over a year.

Gu Xingruo put down the water cup and looked directly into Yang Yiyao's eyes: "Because we are friends, her liking Xu Wen is one thing, and the two of us are another."

Yang Yiyao's expression became complicated: "Aren't you afraid that if she goes to Jinling, she will have more opportunities to be alone with Xu Wen? After all, Xu Wen will definitely go there often to inspect the work."

"Yang Yiyao, do you think I don't know that you also like Xu Wen?" Gu Xingruo suddenly smiled, and that smile made Yang Yiyao feel a little uneasy.

Yang Yiyao's wine glass almost slipped out of her hand, and the red wine swayed violently on the wall of the glass.

"I've known it for a long time, from the way you look at Xu Wen every time, from your 'joking' temptations, and from the fact that you stayed here tonight on purpose to sow discord between Shengsheng and me." Gu Xingruo stood up and looked down at her.

Yang Yiyao panicked for a moment, but soon regained her composure: "So? Are you going to deal with me like you deal with other rivals?"

To her surprise, Gu Xingruo shook her head: "I won't 'deal with' anyone."

She walked to the window and looked at the party decorations in the yard that had not been cleaned up yet: "Xu Wen is very good, it's normal for someone to like him, I don't care how many people like him, because..."

She turned around, the moonlight shining through the window onto her.

"The person who stays with him in the end must be me."

Yang Yiyao originally wanted to add fuel to the fire for these people, but in the end, she accomplished nothing.

She looked in shock at the once willful and impulsive young lady in front of her, and suddenly realized that she had made a serious mistake.

Gu Xingruo is no longer the young lady who used to seek divination from her.

It's a pity that Xu Wen has also changed.
He wanted more.

"You've changed." Yang Yiyao smiled helplessly.

Gu Xingruo smiled slightly: "Everyone will grow up."

She walked up to Yang Yiyao and stretched out her hand: "Do you want me to ask the driver to take you home?"

Yang Yiyao looked at the hand that was extended to her, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook it: "No need, I'll take a taxi myself."

She stood up and adjusted her skirt: "Gu Xingruo, you are much more mature than I thought."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gu Xingruo walked her to the door.

"By the way, Master Yang."

Yang Yiyao turned around: "Hmm?"

"Your divination is indeed very accurate, but feelings cannot be predicted by divination. I wish you a good dream tonight." Gu Xingruo leaned against the door frame with a bright smile.

Yang Yiyao looked at her deeply, then turned and walked into the night.

Gu Xingruo closed the door, took a long breath, and collapsed on the sofa.

The confidence and composure she had just had seemed to be taken away, and she stared at the ceiling, her mind racing.

"Ruoruo, has everyone left?" Xu Wen's voice came from the stairs.

Gu Xingruo sat up and watched him walk down from upstairs: "Just saw off the last guest."

She patted the seat next to her: "Come and sit down."

Xu Wen sat down next to her, smelling slightly of alcohol: "Lan Qiusheng is very happy today."

"That's good."

Gu Xingruo leaned on his shoulder and suddenly asked, "Xu Wen, do you think I have changed?"

Xu Wen turned his head to look at her, and gently brushed his fingers across her cheek: "Why do you ask?"

"That's right. I suddenly want to know. Tell me." Gu Xingruo grabbed his hand and interlocked their fingers.

Xu Wen thought for a while and said seriously: "You have indeed changed. You have become more mature, more considerate, and more fascinating."

Gu Xingruo smiled and pinched his fingers: "You are the only one who can speak."

She paused: "Do you like me now?"

"I like you, no matter which you are." Xu Wen lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

Gu Xingruo closed her eyes and felt his breath and heartbeat.

At this moment, she was absolutely sure that her choice was correct.

Growing up does not mean losing yourself, but learning to protect what is truly important in a more mature way.

For example, friendship, love, and Xu Wen, who deserves her to become better.
