novelStared at Because They Were Too Good-Looking

He Niancheng replied straightforwardly.
"I've already asked a designer in the Empire to design something that suits us. But it's going to take longer. So for now, we can just make do with this."
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Make do with this...
That's over a million yuan, Boss!
That meant that after the new pair was ready, there wasn't a use for this pair anymore?
According to his style of doing things, she dared not imagine the price of that other pair of couple rings.
Having lived a middle-class lifestyle her entire life, Gu Qingjiu was so astounded she felt her heart tremble.
But nothing she said would change a thing.
Once He Niancheng had decided on something, he was unlikely to change his mind.
Like her older brother had said, her finding such a good-looking and rich boyfriend was like her stepping on dog poop[1].
All along, He Niancheng didn't put on airs in front of Gu Qingjiu much.
Although she was aware he was of a lofty status, he didn't have plenty of people at his beck and call every single moment. He didn't particularly behave like a rich person.
But somehow, from certain areas, she could still see a visible difference between her and He Niancheng.
Although Gu Qingjiu found this lavish, she had to learn to adapt to such things since she liked He Niancheng.
This was merely He Niancheng's life, and she only had to learn to understand it.
At noon, they went back to that same steak restaurant they went to previously because Gu Qingjiu had commented that the chef seared a really good steak.
The delicious food made Gu Qingjiu instantly forget about all that messy stuff in her head.
In the afternoon, Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng went to watch a movie.
Gu Qingjiu had once looked forward to such a life.
Perhaps because too many restrictions had bounded her previous lifetime, Gu Qingjiu didn't dare hope for certain things.
She considered it her greatest fortune to be able to live like an ordinary person.
It was wonderful to be able to watch a movie with her beloved.
But when Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng appeared hand-in-hand at the cinema, they had underestimated their influence.
He Niancheng was simply too perfect.
When he stood there, even if he said nothing, it was a breathtaking sight.
Those in the cinema were mostly young people, and they were so stunned by how good-looking He Niancheng was that they fell speechless.
He Niancheng didn't mind such gazes, but he didn't like crowded places.
Especially since some people even tried to secretly take photos of him and Gu Qingjiu because they were simply too shockingly gorgeous.
But he very quickly sensed that, and cast a cold glance over, startling the person so much that they couldn't hold their phones steady.
Gu Qingjiu was slightly more polite, simply waving a hand at those who tried to secretly take photos of them.
After obtaining their tickets, she pulled He Niancheng into the theater. She was starting to regret it a little, feeling that she shouldn't have brought the aloof He Niancheng to such a place.
It was especially since many people were staring at Gu Qingjiu with looks of envy and jealousy.
Under so many intent gazes, Gu Qingjiu finished watching the movie in an uneasy manner.
He Niancheng, who didn't have much interest in the movie, shut his eyes to rest throughout the movie.
When the movie ended, Gu Qingjiu hurriedly dragged He Niancheng out of the cinema.
"Let's try to go to places where there are fewer people in the future."
It felt too much pressure to have crowds keep staring at them.
"Weren't you the one who said you wanted to come here?"
He Niancheng curled his lips and asked in a low voice.
"I never expected something like this to happen."
Gu Qingjiu had underestimated the Chinese's interest in beautiful things.
If it weren't for the fact that He Niancheng gave off a highly imposing aura, it was likely that their photos would be on the Internet by now.
