The dinner went smoothly and happily, even Gu Mu, who has such a picky appetite, was won over.

One has to admire the restaurant's culinary skills, and also admire Fu Jue for choosing dishes that he and his siblings like to eat, which perfectly suit their tastes.

After Gu Qingqing finished eating, she picked up her phone to check her messages and, as expected, received a message from Zhai Wan'er.

She secretly sent a message to Zhai Wan'er before going to the window and opening it, where she saw Zhai Wan'er standing at the window of the opposite room.

The two exchanged glances before greeting each other.

Zhai Wan'er (starry-eyed): "Gu Qingqing? It's you guys! Master Fu is here too, you're eating at this restaurant as well?"

Inner monologue: Wow! It really is Master Fu! I see him! He looks so handsome today! Oh no, he's handsome every day.

Gu Qingqing (with a forced smile): "Yes, we came together. This restaurant has a nice ambiance and the food is delicious."

Inner monologue: Look how much you're holding back, you clearly want to rush over and hug Master Fu.

Zhai Wan'er: "Hehehe, I didn't expect we have the same taste and the same perspective."

Inner monologue: The important thing is that Master Fu and I have the same taste. I didn't expect him to like Hunan cuisine. It seems I need to learn a few Hunan dishes.

Gu Qingqing: "That's right, everyone likes delicious food."

Inner monologue: But is it really okay for us to have this awkward conversation?

Unaware that his wife had betrayed him, Fu Jue was still discussing business cooperation with Gu Jin. Although he glanced at her standing at the window, he assumed she was just looking at the scenery outside.

Gu En went to the restroom, and only Gu Mu noticed her talking to herself at the window.

"Qingqing, who are you talking to?" Gu Mu walked over and put his arm around her shoulder, and also saw Zhai Wan'er across from him.

Zhai Wan'er?

What's she doing here?

coincide?

Gu Mu became suspicious. Although Fu Jue hadn't booked the entire restaurant, he had still limited the number of customers, and there wouldn't be more than five restaurants tonight.

"Second brother, this is Miss Zhai Wan'er from the Zhai family. She's also dining at this restaurant. What a coincidence!" Gu Qingqing introduced with a smile.

Zhai Wan'er also took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Zhai Wan'er. It's a pleasure to meet you all tonight."

"Hello." Gu Mu's response was indifferent.

He had no desire to meet any women, especially pampered young ladies with terrible tempers who would throw tantrums over the smallest things and cause a scene.

Sensing Gu Mu's coldness towards her, Zhai Wan'er wasn't unhappy, but she also lost her enthusiasm.

She used to really like some of his movies, huh! Even a movie star like him is nothing special, all my admiration for him is wasted.

"Zhai Wan'er, have you eaten? Are you getting ready to go back?" Gu Qingqing noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly changed the subject to ease the tension.

"Yeah, we're almost back, but we haven't had any dessert yet. I guess we'll be heading back in a little while." Zhai Wan'er glanced back at Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu in the room.

Gu Qingqing stood on tiptoe, half of her body hanging out of the window, looking at the people in the opposite room.

"Qingqing." Dong Shu happened to see her as well and waved to greet her.

"Sister Dong Shu—"

"That's dangerous, Qingqing, be careful, stop playing around." Gu Mu supported her, wishing he could pull her back into the house.

"Second brother, I'm fine, don't be nervous." He took such good care of her, like protecting a little baby, forbidding her from doing this or that, afraid that she would fall or get hurt.

"Gu Qingqing, you seem to have a pretty good relationship with my future sister-in-law," Zhai Wan'er teased, feeling like someone was competing for her affections.

"It's alright! Sister Dong Shu is a very nice and gentle person with a pleasant voice. Most importantly, we get along well." Gu Qingqing started her flattery.

"Qingqing, you have such a sweet tongue, you're making me blush." ​​Dong Shu walked over, covering her mouth and giggling.

"Tch! She's just a bootlicker." Zhai Wan'er was very unhappy and glared angrily at Gu Qingqing across from her.

"Wan'er, are you jealous?" Dong Shu teased.

"What are you talking about?" Zhai Shaolin walked over and looked surprised when he saw Gu Qingqing and Gu Mu.

"Oh, it's Mr. and Ms. Gu. Hello." Was it a coincidence? Or was it arranged by Wan'er?

"Hello, Mr. Zhai." Gu Qingqing pulled Gu Mu to greet him, because his expression was very unpleasant, probably because he felt disturbed.

"Qingqing, let's go inside."

"Second brother, let's chat for a while. They're not strangers. It's very impolite of them to leave so quickly."

Gu Qingqing knew that Gu Mu had some social anxiety, and now was the perfect time to train him.

"Qingqing, what are you talking about? It's so lively." At this moment, Gu En came over, and Gu Mu couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Because Gu En loves chatting and making new friends.

"Third Brother, we've run into the Zhai family. There's Mr. Zhai and his fiancée, Miss Dong, as well as Miss Zhai, Zhai Wan'er," Gu Qingxiang introduced to Gu En, happily greeting Zhai Wan'er and the others opposite him.

This attracted Gu Jin and Fu Jue, who were puzzled when they saw the Zhai siblings on the other side, but they still greeted them.

After all, they knew each other's hands, and it would be very impolite not to greet them, even though neither of them particularly liked associating with the Zhai family.

"Hello, Mr. Fu." Zhai Wan'er was already in a daze when she saw Fu Jue.

Fu Jue didn't speak, but simply smiled in response.

Zhai Wan'er, unwilling to give up, revealed her most beautiful smile: "Mr. Fu, I heard that you have recognized Gu Qingqing as your sworn sister, is that true?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Dong Shu was completely stunned when she heard this news for the first time.

Who is Fu Jue?

A man who is not interested in women and has no scandals.

He actually wants to recognize Gu Qingqing as his sworn sister?

Why is that?

"Wan'er, where did you hear this news?" Zhai Shaolin was also curious, feeling that something was off about it.

"Ah? It was... Qingqing who told me." Zhai Wan'er's face flushed red and then turned pale. This was the only answer she could think of. After all, it was Gu Qingqing who told her.

This answer is perfect, without any flaws.

This was the first time she had ever lied, and she was a little nervous.

Now Gu Qingqing has become the target of everyone's criticism, and all eyes are on her.

Being watched by so many people immediately increased her pressure.

If she answers that she told Zhai Wan'er herself, wouldn't she be showing off?

What if she's not the only adopted sister in the future, and Fu Jue finds dozens of adopted sisters? Wouldn't her face be rubbed in the dirt then?

"Qingqing, did you tell her?" Gu Mu didn't remember his younger sister being such a boastful person.

"Second Brother..." Gu Qingqing was caught in a dilemma, not knowing how to answer. On one hand, she received a questioning look from Fu Jue, and on the other hand, she received a distress signal from Zhai Wan'er.

"Yes, I was the one who said it. I was so happy just now that I let it slip." Because the three Gu brothers and Fu Jue had discussed it, they didn't want too many people to know that she was his adopted sister, as they were afraid it would bring her trouble and harm.

She is still young and cannot distinguish between good and bad people, so she is afraid of being taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.
