Chapter 13 Don't set your goals too early.

Huo Huaisui was so angry at Zhang Qin's sarcastic attitude that he was about to retort when Lu Fengqing spoke slowly: "It's just routine wedding preparations, nothing unusual. I don't care about these things, but I didn't expect Miss Zhang to care so much."

Zhang Qin's smile froze.

Is this a veiled insult implying she's ignorant? She doesn't care.

For some reason, Zhang Qin smiled again. "I heard that the Lu family is not doing well and could go bankrupt at any time. Now that the Tang family is no longer their helper... Young Master Zhou is so good to Miss Lu. If I were Miss Lu, I would forgive him. That way, even if the Lu family goes bankrupt, I can still be a rich lady."

Lu Fengqing frowned.

She didn't pay much attention to business matters, and no one had ever told her about the Lu family's affairs.

Zhang Qin may be a bit of a slut and a bit of a pretentious person, but she never spreads rumors or causes trouble.

If someone dares to say it in public, it's most likely true.

"Oh dear, look at my mouth!" Zhang Qin pretended to cover her mouth, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden. "How could Miss Lu, such a proud person, be willing to share a husband with her sister... Never mind what I said."

"Miss Lu may have been born in Rome, but she could move out at any time. Enjoy the little time you have left, and I won't bother you any longer."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

After Zhang Qin finished speaking, she walked away laughing heartily.

Huo Huai Sui didn't have time to glare at Zhang Qin anymore. He was about to ask Lu Feng Qing what was going on when he caught a glimpse of a tall figure out of the corner of his eye. He paused, then exclaimed in surprise and delight, "Fourth Brother!"

Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "When did you arrive?"

"I've been here for a while." Huo Huai Sui peeked out and, not seeing anyone else at Gu Sui Xing's table, asked in confusion, "Fourth Brother, what are you doing here?"

Gu Suixing: "Blind date."

"A blind date?" Huo Huai Sui thought he had misheard.

It's one thing for a penniless and incompetent shut-in like her to be forced into marriage, but her fourth brother, her dear cousin, the heir of the Gu family, the most eligible bachelor in City A, with women lining up to marry him enough to circle the city twice, and he's actually going on blind dates too?!

Huo Huai Sui rolled his eyes, thinking that Lu Niannian was now single again, and following the principle of keeping the good stuff in the family, he moved his buttocks in a little further and extended an invitation warmly: "If Fourth Brother is not in a hurry to leave, come and sit for a while?"

Gu Suixing did not refuse.

After Gu Suixing sat down, Huo Huaisui introduced the two: "Fourth Brother, this is Lu..."

Gu Suixing interrupted with a faint smile: "We know each other."

Huo Huaisui: "?"

“Miss Lu and I are…” Gu Suixing paused deliberately.

Lu Fengqing looked up at him.

Gu Suixing smiled and added, "Classmate."

Huo Huaisui was stunned for a moment, his mind racing.

Niannian and her brother were classmates in junior high and high school. Her fourth brother and her brother went to the same school from junior high to university, so... Niannian and her fourth brother must also be classmates.

She went on and on about it yesterday, but it turns out these two already knew each other.

You, Lu Niannian, you even kept this from her!

Huo Huaisui glared at Lu Fengqing, intending to settle accounts with her later, and continued to gossip with Gu Suixing, "Fourth Brother, which family's young lady did you choose?"

Gu Suixing glanced at her, "Why are you asking this?"

Huo Huai Sui grinned and said, "I just want to know if she's pretty or not."

She also wanted to see if they knew each other and whether they were worthy of her fourth brother.

Without hesitation, Gu Suixing said, "Beautiful."

Lu Fengqing scoffed inwardly.

This girl has been like this since she was a child. Women always praise her for being pretty, while men always think they are not as good-looking as her.

A gentleman, yet narcissistic.

Huo Huaisui and Gu Suixing didn't spend much time together, so he didn't know his cousin's personality.

She blinked. "So, it's done?"

Gu Suixing: "If it were true, would I be sitting here now?"

"……"Too.

If things go well, we should at least go out for a walk and see a movie.

But since she's so pretty, why didn't it work out?

Huo Huaisui raised a question.

Gu Suixing smiled faintly, "You only look at a woman's face when choosing a wife?"

Huo Huai Sui disagreed with this, saying, "What's wrong with looking good? You have plenty of people to do your laundry and cooking. It's enough that you look good when you take her out."

Gu Suixing paused for two seconds, looked at the other side, and chuckled, "That's true."

Lu Fengqing: "..." Why are you looking at me like that?

Huo Huai Sui followed Gu Sui Xing's gaze to Lu Feng Qing, and her woman's intuition told her that there was a chance.

Huo Huai Sui was secretly delighted and quickly asked, "Then, Fourth Brother, do you think Niannian has made you look good?"

Lu Fengqing almost spat out her coffee.

"Miss Lu?" Gu Suixing said slowly, sizing up Lu Fengqing.

Fearing he might say something inappropriate, Lu Fengqing preemptively said, "Fourth Young Master and I are not a good match."

Gu Suixing raised his eyebrows.

Huo Huaisui glared at Lu Fengqing, "What's wrong with it?"

“Of course,” Lu Fengqing said with a smile, lightly brushing her long hair that fell over her shoulder with her fingertips. “We’re not compatible in terms of sexual needs.”

Huo Huaisui: "?"

“Fourth Young Master wants to find a platonic lover with a cold personality, and I have that need.” Lu Fengqing’s fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a charming allure. “Eight times a night would be best.”

Huo Huai Sui: "!!"

Her alluring and seductive appearance made the men around her stare wide-eyed.

The smile on Gu Suixing's lips disappeared.

Huo Huai Sui's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open, as if he were meeting Lu Feng Qing for the first time.

How come she never noticed how sexually unsatisfied she was before?

...

Huo Huai Sui went to the restroom in a daze.

Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing sat facing each other.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Gu Suixing narrowed her peach blossom eyes and scanned her surroundings.

His gaze was cold and ruthless, like a ferocious beast driving away creatures that had invaded its territory.

A chill ran through the men whose eyes were still glued to Lu Fengqing, and they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Gu Suixing got up and sat down next to Lu Fengqing, one hand behind her, their noses almost touching. "Have you thought about how to 'thank' me?"

A warm breath wafted over, and Lu Fengqing unconsciously clenched her hands, then frowned, feigning displeasure. "Can't you learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds without seeking recognition or reward?"

"Could you learn from the ancient women who married to repay a debt of gratitude?"

His tone was amused, sounding half-serious and half-joking, while his dark, deep eyes gazed at her.

Lu Fengqing felt as if something was choking her throat. She pushed him away and turned her head to look elsewhere. "...I can't learn it."

Gu Suixing looked at her beautiful profile, and the smile in his eyes faded slightly. "Niannian, you wanted to break up with me and asked me to listen to that old man and go abroad... I agreed to everything. Don't make me angry."

Lu Fengqing pursed her lips and remained silent.

Gu Suixing: "What's your phone number?"

Lu Fengqing didn't want to talk about it.

Gu Suixing didn't mind and whispered his number, "On call 24/7, available... Call me anytime if you need anything."

"..."

Was the slip of the tongue so obvious because you were afraid she wouldn't notice?

Those indescribable feelings in my heart vanished without a trace in an instant.

Lu Fengqing gritted her teeth, "Didn't you say it was impossible?"

Gu Suixing gave a meaningful look, "You can try it and see if it works."

"Try it my ass!" Lu Fengqing raised her coffee cup and swore to the light, "If I call you, I'll say Lu Fengqing backwards!"

Gu Suixing's smile deepened, "Don't set your goals too early."

Lu Fengqing: "...Get lost."

You're the one who sets a flag!
