"Actually, you don't need to envy me and Qin Zheng. Maybe if you and Tang Shu get married, Tang Shu can give you a delicate little girl." She turned to the side, pretending to be teasing as she carefully examined Gu Jin's expression.
Gu Jin sneered, "Heh, I hope so."
"..."
Ye Yun couldn't help but click her tongue. "Seriously, can't we have a proper conversation with that attitude?"
"My attitude reflects my feelings."
After peeling both potatoes, Gu Jin rinsed them under the tap, picked up a knife, and began to cut them into even small pieces.
"But seriously, if Tang Shu gets pregnant with your child, what are your plans?"
"What pregnancy?"
"Tang Shu," Ye Yun smiled, "you and Tang Shu aren't married yet, so what would you do if she got pregnant?"
Gu Jin didn't notice anything amiss and casually said, "Then let's marry her with a grand wedding procession."
"I'm serious."
Gu Jin soaked the chopped potato chunks in water, clapped his hands, and this time looked at her calmly, saying slowly and deliberately, "I'm serious too."
Ye Yun didn't say anything more.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Gu Jin finally realized something was wrong, and her expression gradually turned serious. "No, Ye Yun, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything by it."
"What do you mean by Tang Shu being pregnant?" Gu Jin stopped cooking and stared at her, his expression unusually serious.
Ye Yun smiled nonchalantly, "Why are you so nervous? I was just using an analogy. Why are you making it sound like it's real? Did you really get Tang Shu pregnant?"
Gu Jin was taken aback. How did she suddenly end up blaming him?
"Alright, don't overthink it. I was just joking with you," Ye Yun chuckled.
Before she was certain of Gu Jin's feelings, she kept Tang Shu's instructions in mind and never revealed anything that shouldn't be said.
Seeing that her expression really did seem like she was joking, Gu Jin calmed down for two seconds before muttering somewhat embarrassedly, "Didn't you say it first? I didn't say anything. You did it so suddenly, I thought she was really pregnant."
Ye Yun: "Oh, so that means you're with her?"
Gu Jin paused in her action of picking up the things.
His face remained calm, but his ears turned a faint red, almost bleeding. His brain went blank, and he even forgot what he was going to grab. His outstretched hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.
"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to laugh at you."
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Ye Yun calmly took a piece of ginger and handed it to him, "You and Tang Shu are engaged, fiancés, isn't it normal for you to be together?"
Gu Jin looked at her with a quiet gaze.
He glanced at the ginger in her hand, pursed his lips, took it, and gave a soft "hmm" with his eyes lowered.
Finally, he couldn't resist muttering nonchalantly, "Being married really makes a difference, huh?"
"..."
Based on this reaction, no one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on between him and Tang Shu.
Ye Yun sighed, feigning helplessness, "Look at you, so lifeless. It's like you've had a fight with Tang Shu."
Gu Jin hummed in agreement.
Oh wow, it really is.
"Tang Shu is such a good girl, how could you bear to quarrel with her?"
"She doesn't like me."
"ah?"
"She doesn't like me." Gu Jin sliced the ginger and glanced at her.
Ye Yun was speechless with astonishment. "Isn't this a business marriage between you two? How come you're talking about whether you like each other or not?"
"It won't work?"
At this moment, Gu Jin's expression was exceptionally serious.
He put down all his work, abandoned his usual playful demeanor, and stared intently into her eyes, clearly and decisively expressing his thoughts.
Since Ye Yun met him, she had never seen him with such a serious expression.
Ah... she understood.
"You like Tang Shu?"
