027: Is Gu Jun in love?

It turned out that Gu Jun didn't want her to be looked down upon by the Wen family.

Xu Yao had always treated Gu Jun as a "roommate," but for the first time, she felt that Gu Jun was not only her roommate but also her husband. Only husband and wife share the same values, and for Xu Yao to be looked down upon was for Gu Jun to be looked down upon!

"It's a fact that the Wen family is rich. I don't have any other ideas. As long as my mother and Uncle Wen live well, that's all that matters."

Xu Yao explained, "If I don't take advantage of the Wen family, my mother will have more say in the Wen family. A twenty thousand yuan gift is a high budget, and since you are such an outstanding person, my mother will be very proud."

Xu Yao did not refuse Gu Jun's kindness.

If Gu Jun encountered such a thing, Xu Yao would also be willing to help Gu Jun save face!

Xu Yao knew what brand of skincare products Lin Meixian used, so she asked Gu Jun if he would like to go shopping with her. "If you don't have time, I can buy them myself. Don't worry, I'll get you the bill when I get them back."

"I have time."

Gu Jun's emotional intelligence suddenly came online. "A gift that I personally choose is more sincere, right?"

Xu Yao smiled and nodded, "Then let's go together. The mall is still open."

Xu Yao and Gu Jun had been married for over a month, and this was their first time shopping together. Wanting to save Gu Jun time, Xu Yao went straight to the counters of brands she knew and quickly picked out a skincare product based on Lin Meixian's skin type.

Gu Jun said the budget was 20,000 yuan, but Xu Yao only picked out things worth 15,000 yuan. Gu Jun only discovered this when he swiped his card.

The salesgirl was tying a bow on a gift box of skincare products. Gu Jun asked Xu Yao to pick a few items herself: "At least spend the budget."

Xu Yao thought to herself, straight men really like to make plans for everything, including gift-giving. They feel uncomfortable if they don’t spend all the budget, right?

"I don't usually use this brand. Besides, I have a lot of skincare products at home. I just took on a skincare promotion recently. Did you forget?"

Before Xu Yao filmed videos without showing her face, she was limited in the types of products she could promote. Now, however, she's open to showing her face and has been approached by cosmetics and skincare brands, in addition to clothing and household items. Xu Yao only promotes products after trying them herself. She has absolutely no shortage of skincare products now, and hopefully, she'll never be short of them again.

Gu Jun was actually not that stubborn. He was not obsessed with spending the 20,000 yuan budget. He wanted to take the opportunity to give Xu Yao something.

Xu Yao thought he was too straight, and at this moment, didn't Gu Jun also think Xu Yao was too straight?

Gu Jun didn't give up: "You don't need skin care products, but what about clothes for the wedding? Do you want to buy two nice skirts?"

Xu Yao's clothing style is impeccable, and this can be said to be her area of expertise. As a fashion blogger, if her clothes look ugly, her fans will not buy into her aesthetics. However, due to financial constraints, Xu Yao's wardrobe does not contain expensive clothes. Any skirts or coats that cost over a thousand yuan are gifts from brands, and she buys her own clothes at affordable prices.

Xu Yao understood what Gu Jun meant. Gu Jun wanted to buy her two more expensive skirts to show off.

Xu Yao decisively refused: "No, your money didn't come from the wind! Besides, even if I wore an expensive dress to the wedding, no one would look at me with respect. They would just think I was just trying to be rich!"

The fact that the Xu family was bankrupt was well known to everyone. No matter how expensive the dress Xu Yao wore, it wouldn't change that fact. Xu Yao didn't want to pay for the dress herself, nor did she want Gu Jun to waste money. Seeing that Gu Jun was about to say something, Xu Yao pulled him aside and said, "The creditors of the Xu family will also be attending the wedding. The better I dress, the more uncomfortable they will feel."

Xu Yao felt embarrassed when she thought about the scene of having money to buy luxury brands but no money to pay back the creditors.

Gu Jun believed that the more debt one owed, the more important it was to demonstrate strength to creditors. Many business owners, despite being heavily in debt, could still afford to drive luxury cars and live in villas. Business owners absolutely couldn't afford to lose face; once a debtor revealed their poverty, creditors would panic.

However, this method is not suitable for Xu Yao. Xu Yao is not as thick-skinned as those bosses who owe her debts. She is particularly concerned about her reputation.

"Saving face" is a good quality, and Gu Jun cannot blame Xu Yao for this. When Gu Jun was a poor teenager, Gu Jun was more proud than Xu Yao.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and not buy it."

Gu Jun respected Xu Yao's wishes, and Xu Yao smiled: "Don't worry, I have already prepared what clothes to wear to the wedding~"

The couple went shopping in the mall for the first time and only bought a set of skin care products as a gift for Lin Meixian.

Gu Jun carried the gift box and helped Xu Yao press the elevator button. The two talked as they walked down the stairs, and they looked very intimate from a distance.

…

Jiang Mingjia was shopping in the mall with her two best friends and happened to see this scene on the escalator.

Jiang Mingjia stuffed the bag in her hand into her friend's hand and hurried downstairs, only catching up to see the elevator close. Her friends, carrying large and small bags, caught up with her and complained about her sudden outburst: "Who did you see that made you so excited?"

Jiang Mingjia wasn't sure: "I think I saw Gu Jun. He was shopping in the mall with a young girl."

The two best friends laughed together.

"You must have seen it wrong. Why would that workaholic Gu Jun go shopping with a young girl?"

"Yes, you must have read it wrong. Isn't Gu Jun a famous overtime robot? But if he likes to work overtime, then let him. The harder he works, the richer your Jiang family will be."

Jiang Mingjia has the temper of a spoiled little girl. She was annoyed by Gu Jun's attitude during the last meal. Jiang Mingjia hasn't been around Gu Jun for several days.

Jiang Mingjia didn't give up on her strategy to conquer Gu Jun, she just hadn't come up with any new ideas yet.

Her girlfriends didn't believe Gu Jun would go shopping with a girl, but Jiang Mingjia wasn't completely reassured. She'd been pursuing Gu Jun for so long, so how could she have mistaken him for someone else? It had to be Gu Jun. As for the woman Gu Jun was shopping with, Jiang Mingjia hadn't gotten a clear look at her.

After this little incident, Jiang Mingjia had lost interest in shopping. She immediately called Jiang Zhiyan to confirm:

"Is Gu Jun in love?"

Jiang Zhiyan's answer was very cautious, "Why are you asking this suddenly? If he really has a relationship, would you give up pursuing him?"

Jiang Mingjia sneered, "I've gotten everything I wanted since I was a child. Do you think I'll give up on Gu Jun?"

Jiang Zhiyan decisively denied: "Gu Jun is not in a relationship!"

——They just got married in a low-key manner.

"It's best not to talk about it, otherwise I will have to find a way to break them up."

Jiang Mingjia's willfulness gave Jiang Zhiyan a headache. "If Gu Jun could like you, he would have liked you a long time ago. Can't you pursue someone else? Mingjia, listen to my advice. A forced melon is not sweet!"

What's the point of saying a forced melon isn't sweet? Jiang Mingjia has never eaten a melon that wasn't sweet in her life.

"It doesn't matter whether he likes me now or not. Once we're together, given his personality, he'll definitely be responsible for the family. Do you think I'm pursuing Gu Jun just for fun? I want to marry Gu Jun."

Jiang Mingjia's idea was supported by the entire Jiang family. Huahu was developing better and better, and the Jiang family was jealous of this hen that laid golden eggs.

Even Jiang Zhiyan, who was good-tempered, was irritated by Jiang Mingjia. "It's all up to you. Isn't the key what Gu Jun thinks? He's an independent person, not a puppet that anyone can control!"
