Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1164 - 1166: Love’s Reward

Gu Mingcheng’s deer-like eyes were red and pitiful.

Xu Nianhua stepped forward, squatted in front of Gu Mingcheng, took a tissue from her pocket, and handed it to him saying, "The brother I recognize isn’t this ugly."

"Sis."

Gu Mingcheng was so moved he didn’t know what to say.

"Quick, wipe up." Xu Nianhua urged him to wipe his face while inquiring about his recent situation.

Gu Mingcheng took a sip of water, and replied, "After I left the Gu Family, I finished school and have been in Ningbei. Now, I’m drawing portraits on the street, I’m really good at it, I..."

He prattled on about his recent situation. Nowadays, he earns quite a bit by drawing portraits for people.

"Sis, in the future, I’ll become a famous artist, and if anyone tries to bully you, I’ll have your back." Gu Mingcheng’s youthful face looked much more mature, but the one thing that hadn’t changed was his protective heart towards Xu Nianhua.

...

"Why did you bring him home?" Pei Yicheng frowned when he saw Gu Mingcheng.

"Brother Pei." Gu Mingcheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Pei Yicheng.

"Yicheng, let me tell you something."

Xu Nianhua pulled Pei Yicheng over and quietly said, "Yicheng, although Gu Mingcheng is part of the Gu Family, he’s different from them. He helped me in the past, so..."

"So you want to help him?" Pei Yicheng gently tapped her nose, knowing she was soft-hearted. He glanced at Gu Mingcheng and said, "Alright, don’t worry, let him stay here comfortably, and you just go home and get ready to marry me."

"Yicheng, you’re so kind." Xu Nianhua looked at him with a bright smile, and the thought of soon marrying him filled her heart with sweet joy.

"Then, what reward are you going to give me?" Pei Yicheng leaned in.

Xu Nianhua felt a bit shy, saying, "I’ll cook for you next time."

"That doesn’t count." Pei Yicheng gently kissed her face and said, "This is a real reward, a reward of love."

Pei Yicheng wrapped his arm around her waist, reluctant to let her go.

"Yicheng, there are people here!" Xu Nianhua blushed and pushed Pei Yicheng away. After lunch, she returned to the Su Family.

"Brother Pei, I have a place to stay." Gu Mingcheng made a gesture to leave.

"Since Nianhua wants you to stay, then stay. This place is empty otherwise." Pei Yicheng glanced at him and said, "Gu Mingcheng, I don’t care what your intention is for being close to Nianhua, but remember, she is about to marry me. I don’t want her to be upset, do you understand?"

Pei Yicheng’s face turned cold, showing no friendliness towards Gu Mingcheng.

"I understand." Gu Mingcheng lowered his head, feeling terribly embarrassed under Pei Yicheng’s penetrating gaze. Could he not simply have a look at Nianhua?

"I heard you draw portraits for people?" Pei Yicheng asked.

"Yes." Gu Mingcheng nodded.

Pei Yicheng asked again, "Besides portraits, what else can you draw? Can you support yourself by drawing portraits alone?" Most importantly, the schedule is too flexible.

"I can also draw designs, like how to decorate a room, for example." Gu Mingcheng answered honestly.

"My company still needs designers, do you want to join? The salary per month..." Before Pei Yicheng could finish, Gu Mingcheng said, "I’m willing, Brother Pei, I’m willing to do it, no matter the pay."

"Alright." Pei Yicheng nodded, corrected him, "You call Nianhua ’sis’, you should also change the way you address me."

"Brother-in-law." Gu Mingcheng smoothly changed how he addressed him, fully aware that if he had any ulterior motives, Pei Yicheng would surely pack him up and throw him out, never letting him see Nianhua again.
