Wan Fangjiang had just left with his son when Chen Nuanhan breezed in.
She squeezed past Su Huai and headed straight for Gu Jiuyue, asking cheerily, "Gugu, how was your birthday?"
Gu Jiuyue forced a smile and replied simply, "Not bad."
But Chen Nuanhan didn't feel awkward at all, continuing to flatter her enthusiastically, "It must have been more than just 'not bad.' I bet you were thrilled. Yesterday, all the students at our school saw your birthday fireworks, wow! They were stunningly beautiful!"
She knew exactly how to tickle someone's fancy, even Gu Jiuyue, who was usually cold and reserved, was cheered and proud from her compliments.
"Really? You saw them too?"
"Yep, I was gaping in awe, so jealous!"
Chen Nuanhan nodded vigorously, her voice lively and spirited, speaking of her envy without any bitterness, very amicably.
