The Old Madam mumbled to herself, "As long as it's not a girl... not... not a girl?"
By the end, even Old Madam Gu was stunned.
It was... quite sudden.
The Old Madam was in a daze, momentarily even doubting if her ears had betrayed her.
Madam Zhou swallowed and turned to give an order, "Call Doctor Li and say the Old Madam isn't feeling well."
Mrs. Wang didn't catch it and asked, "Lan, what did you say? What girl?"
Gu Lan repeated once more, "The one I like is not a girl."
"..."
She turned her head to Rong Heng, speaking slowly, "Grandmother, actually the reason I called Rong Heng today is not only because he's my grandson's friend, but also because..."
"Because of what?" Gu Changting asked stiffly.
"Because I like you, Rong Heng."
Young Master Gu's voice was clear and melodious, his eyes bright and shining with light, looking particularly passionate.
"I...?"
Even though he knew Gu Lan was acting, Rong Heng couldn't help his heart from trembling upon hearing those words.
