The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

Just for a moment.

The man's expression softened.

Those who witness this scene are genuinely incredulous.

But what surprised the surrounding servants even more was...

Ghostly voice actually comforted Gu Cai!

Good heavens! You know, Su Ran has fans all over the world, even the Gu family's maids are no less popular.

What shocked them even more than Su Ran's quick calming of Gu Cai's emotions was that Gui Yin, who was always gentle yet distant on stage, actually reached out and stroked Gu Cai's head, and even said "Don't be angry" in a coaxing tone like a child.

If this scene were filmed and uploaded to Douyin (TikTok), it would definitely go viral!

The fireplace inside burned brightly, and Gu Cai's face seemed to be tinged red by the flames, his eyes radiating a faint sadness.

“Su Ran,” he said cautiously, “they all say I have a bad personality.”

"It's really not good."

"then you……"

"She can be quite annoying when she's being fierce, but she can also be quite cute sometimes."

Gu Cai was stunned, his heart overflowing with joy, and he looked at Su Ran somewhat at a loss.

Before he could say what he wanted to say, he saw Su Ran look up at the surrounding equipment, then sit down at an electronic piano and play a few notes. Hearing the crisp sound, she smiled.

Amidst the melodious piano music, he heard her voice.

Do you really like me?

"real."

"like very much?"

"like very much."

"How much do you like it?"

"It's not just liking, it's love. I love you."

Upon hearing this word, the piano music stopped abruptly, its lingering notes echoing in the room.

"Do you love me because of my face?"

Gu Cai remained silent for a long time before saying, "Normal people yearn for beautiful things, whether it's because of looks, talent, or personality. They all have their beautiful aspects. I can't stop my pursuit of beauty and happiness, because when someone falls in love with another person, it's more or less because they see the other person's shining points."

"I noticed you because of your looks, admired you because of your talent, liked you because of your personality, and felt sorry for you because of your past. I love everything about you, and I have never thought that liking someone because of their appearance is a superficial thing. When you fall in love, you fall in love."

Su Ran lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, but she did not respond.

The silence between the two lasted for a long time.

Gu Cai stared intently at her profile, as if suddenly realizing what he had said, and his face instantly flushed red.

"I'm going to the kitchen to see if the food is ready. You can take your time to look around."

He left those words behind and ran out the door as if fleeing.

it's dark.

As Su Ran said, Hu Zi and the other two finally returned exhausted at seven o'clock in the evening.

A little girl, barely taller than their thighs, accompanied them back; she was Little Butterfly.

"Sister, you really are my sister! Leave three grown men to me." Little Butterfly pouted and threw down her little backpack.

"Well done, I'll reward you when we get home," Su Ran said calmly.

The little butterfly was delighted at the mention of a reward.

"Then I want to go on a date with Little Lemon and Little Bean!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran almost spat out her tea.

The two little boys and the little butterfly are still in a love triangle.

Gu Cai and Gu Zhou were amazed by the arrival of the little butterfly.

A child who looked to be five or six years old managed to lead three adults to find a way up the mountain to go home, even though the mountain was blocked by heavy snow.

This is incredible!

These two sisters are quite remarkable, both the older and younger ones!

The others looked at the two with admiration involuntarily.

Zhong Jue knew Su Ran was coming around dinner time. He looked at Gu Cai with a reproachful look, wondering why he hadn't told him sooner, causing him to almost miss the chance to meet Su Ran.

Gu Cai simply lowered his eyelashes and said he had forgotten.

Zhong Jue looked at Gu Cai for a long time with a complicated expression before finally sighing and saying, "Gu Cai, you've turned into a green tea b*tch."

Gu Cai remained noncommittal.

So what if she's a green tea b*tch? As long as I can spend more time with Su Ran.

The skiing trip has to be postponed until tomorrow.

After dinner, Su Ran stayed at the Gu family's house.

The aunt led her to a room on the third floor and pointed to one of the rooms, explaining, "This is where the young master lives. Opposite is the eldest young master's room, and next to it is the second young master's room. The eldest young master is usually very busy and has a house outside, so he hardly ever comes back."

Then the aunt led Su Ran to the room next to Gu Cai's and said kindly, "This is the room you will be staying in tonight, Miss Su."

Su Ran frowned and asked, "Where is my sister?"

The aunt seemed to have been prepared for this question, and respectfully pointed to the other side of the corridor and said, "The Gu family has a special children's room, which was prepared in advance by the master and mistress for the future Gu family children. They just showed it to Miss Su's younger sister, and she liked the room very much. She is probably resting in bed now."

Su Ran was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Gu family to be so thoughtful, actually arranging a children's room for their future grandchildren in advance. It seems that Gu Ling, as the eldest son and heir, has a heavy burden on his shoulders.

The door closed, and the sweltering heat allowed Su Ran to take off her coat; her heavy ski suit was hung on the rack next to her.

Normally, the Gu family would keep the heating on all winter, but due to the special circumstances, in order to conserve resources, they can only turn on the heating in the rooms after 8 p.m. and turn it off at 6 a.m. the next morning.

Su Ran then carefully examined the guest room that had been assigned to her.

Although it's called a guest room, it's quite spacious, with a living room and two bedrooms. There's a toilet next door, and a small study next to the bedroom. The living room has a sofa, TV, bar, and refrigerator—it's like a detached house.

The bed in the bedroom was already made, with a dark green down comforter that felt smooth to the touch. On the bed lay a beige nightgown that fit her figure perfectly.

dong dong dong-

She heard a knock on the door.

"I'm here." Su Ran casually put her snow boots on the shoe rack and changed into a pair of slippers.

Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is a plate of fruit salad and a glass of hot milk.

"Ta-da!" Gu Cai's face popped out from behind the fruit plate, beaming with joy, "After-dinner snack."

Before Su Ran could refuse, Gu Cai squeezed his way in and placed the fruit plate on the coffee table.

"I noticed you didn't eat much while we were eating. You'll definitely be hungry soon tonight, so I'll save these to satisfy your cravings."

After he finished speaking, he remained standing there, his eyes fixed intently on her, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

"Thank you," Su Ran said.

"You still haven't given me an answer." Gu Cai sat down, leaning lazily against the back of the off-white sofa. He was wearing black pajamas, with two buttons undone near his neck, revealing his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone, and further down, the muscles bulging beneath the collar.

Su Ran's eyes flickered slightly. She glanced at the night outside the window and felt that the air was even hotter than before. She said, "It's late. We should rest."

However, Gu Cai was not swayed by her change of topic.

The boy's clear voice carried a barely perceptible hint of unease.

"I've already confessed my feelings. Will you reject me or accept me?"
