Keeping the promise

Gu Nancheng managed to avoid his grandfather's sight at the birthday banquet, only to find that his grandfather had already started a large-scale blind date event. He looked at those gorgeously dressed young ladies from aristocratic families and felt annoyed.

He really didn't want to participate in such a boring blind date, so he rolled his eyes and decided to sneak out.

While everyone was not paying attention, he quietly chased in the direction where Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng left.

When he chased to the gate of the manor, he saw Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng preparing to get in the car.

"Wait, Yun Ting, Wan Cheng!" Gu Nancheng shouted and ran over as he quickened his pace.

Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng heard the voice, turned around, and saw Gu Nancheng running towards them breathlessly, both with puzzled expressions.

"Nancheng, why did you run out?" Li Yunting asked.

Gu Nancheng panted heavily and said, "Oh, don't mention it. My grandfather actually arranged a blind date at the banquet. I don't want to stay there."

Zheng Wancheng couldn't help but laugh, "So you were trying to avoid the blind date."

"Yes, those young ladies from aristocratic families are all... Oh, never mind, I don't care, I want to go home with you." Gu Nancheng said with determination.

Li Yunting smiled helplessly, "Won't Mr. Gu be angry if you run out like this?"

"Never mind, let's just avoid this disaster first." Gu Nancheng said nonchalantly.

Zheng Wancheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can come with us."

Gu Nancheng immediately smiled happily, "That's great, you guys are the best."

The three of them got in the car, and the car slowly drove away from the manor. In the car, Gu Nancheng kept complaining about his grandfather's blind date arrangement.

"My grandfather is really something. Why can't he let me choose by myself? He has to arrange this kind of blind date. How could I, a superstar in the entertainment industry, be lacking a partner?" Gu Nancheng said with a depressed look on his face.

Li Yunting smiled and comforted him: "Mr. Gu is doing this for your own good. He hopes that you can find a suitable partner as soon as possible."

"Hmph, I don't need him to arrange this. I have my own say on my own feelings." Gu Nancheng said stubbornly.

Zheng Wancheng smiled and said, "Do you have someone you like?"

Gu Nancheng was stunned for a moment, and a vague figure unconsciously emerged in his mind, but he quickly shook his head, "No, I just don't want to be arranged."

They chatted along the way, the car shuttled through the city streets. Gu Nancheng's mood gradually eased from his boredom.

The morning sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Gu Nancheng woke up slowly in the guest room of Li Yunting's house. He stretched himself and was about to go downstairs when he heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs.

"Young Master Gu, Old Master Gu is here." The servant said softly.

Gu Nancheng was startled, thinking to himself, "Oh no, how come Grandpa came so soon?" He quickly hid at the corner of the stairs and secretly observed the situation below.

Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng were seen smiling and welcoming Mr. Gu, and behind Mr. Gu was a pretty woman.

Li Yunting said politely: "Grandpa Gu, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming so that we could prepare."

Old Master Gu laughed and said, "I'm here to catch this brat. He actually ran away last night."

Zheng Wancheng's eyes fell on the woman. It was Irene who suddenly disappeared from school. She smiled and greeted: "Irene, long time no see!"

"long time no see!"

Old Master Gu looked at the two of them kindly, smiled and said, "Wancheng, it turns out you two have known each other for a long time. That's great!" His eyes revealed his curiosity and expectation about their relationship.

Then, Mr. Gu looked at Irene again, his eyes full of concern, and gently said: "Irene, you are new here and you are unfamiliar with the place. If you have any questions, you can ask Wancheng for help. She has lived here for many years and is very familiar with everything here. She can provide you with a lot of help."

Irene nodded obediently, indicating that she understood what Mr. Gu meant and that she would follow his advice.

Then, she turned to look at Lu Wancheng, with a friendly smile on her face, and said softly: "Thank you for your help. Please take care of me in the future."

Lu Wancheng responded with a smile: "Okay, Grandpa Gu! Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of Irene." Her tone was firm and sincere, making people feel extremely warm.

Old Master Gu nodded with satisfaction, secretly pleased in his heart. He smiled and pulled Irene over, saying, "Wancheng, this is Irene, the most favored granddaughter of the Ai family, and also the childhood sweetheart of that kid from Nancheng. I was going to take her to see Nancheng last night, but the kid ran away. I came here specially today just in case they missed each other."

Zheng Wancheng was slightly shocked, but still kept smiling, "So that's how it is."

Gu Nancheng, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs, felt mixed emotions when he heard his grandfather's words. His memories of Irene suddenly came to his mind. She was his childhood playmate, but they separated because of some things when they grew up. He didn't expect her to suddenly appear again.

At this time, Irene whispered, “Grandpa Gu, is Brother Nancheng really here?”
