"Second Brother Gu, I didn't, I really didn't lie to Qingqing. My brother is really in the hospital. How could you have seen him outside? Qingqing..."
Tears streamed down her face; An Susu cried until her face was streaked with tears.
Gu Qingqing felt very uncomfortable watching this.
This scheming woman's acting skills are amazing; if she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely become a sensation.
"Brother Mu, you're tired. Why don't you go inside and rest?" Gu Qingqing winked at Gu Mu, urging him to go back.
Anyway, he had already given An Susu a good scolding, which was a way of venting his anger for her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Mu firmly adhered to the three principles of obedience: he had to listen to, obey, and comply with his sister's words!
He touched her head; her soft, smooth hair felt very comfortable to the touch.
He couldn't help but chuckle to himself; his mischievous and clever sister was back.
Watching Gu Mu pull his suitcase into the house and even steal her phone, Gu Qingqing pouted. This second brother is really bad.
"Qingqing, your second brother has misunderstood me. He really is in the hospital. His injuries are quite serious. How could he have run away? I only downplayed it so you wouldn't worry about him... You believe me, right? Qingqing, will you come with me to see him tomorrow?"
An Susu talked a lot, only to find that Gu Qingqing had lost focus.
"Qingqing, Qingqing! Can you hear what I'm saying?"
"Ah! Sister An..." Gu Qingqing came back to her senses and looked at An Susu.
“I’m sorry, I’m also very upset. I believe everything you said, Sister An, but my second brother is very stubborn. Once he’s made up his mind, he won’t change it for anyone. I’ll go back and send you some money later. Please take good care of my eldest brother. I’m afraid I’ll be grounded by my brother and won’t be able to leave the house tomorrow.”
She was so focused on Gu Mu that she kept watching him go back to his room and didn't hear what An Susu said.
Even without thinking, she knew what An Susu would say. It would be nothing more than playing the victim and trying to clear her name.
"Qingqing, thank you. If it weren't for you, I..." An Susu was about to be happy after receiving Gu Qingqing's promise when she saw her turn to leave.
"Sister An, I have to go back now, otherwise my second brother will be angry. See you on Monday."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Before An Susu could even respond, Gu Qingqing had vanished from her sight, and the large iron gate of the Gu family villa was about to slowly close.
A cool breeze blew by, scattering leaves all over the ground.
An Susu looked down and saw that her feet were covered by leaves, and she stomped her feet in anger.
Gu Qingqing, how dare you look down on me?
Having money doesn't make you superior!
In the future, I want to reach the highest position and become a person above others.
Let's see if you still dare to look down on me!
...
Upon entering the house, Gu Qingqing saw Gu Mu lying on the sofa, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
She tiptoed behind the sofa and covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess who I am~"
She used falsetto, or perhaps a boyish voice.
"..." Gu Mu didn't speak, or even react at all.
Is he asleep?
Gu Qingqing lowered her hands and looked down at his face curiously. Indeed, there were some dark circles under his eyes, which must have been because he hadn't rested well while rushing back.
Let's not disturb his rest!
Although she really wanted to talk to him and hug him.
Gu Qingqing, who was about to leave, was unaware that Gu Mu would open his eyes and raise his hands to grab her the next second.
"Ah—" She fell backward and was pulled into his arms by him.
"Qingqing, your second brother misses you." Gu Mu hugged her tightly, his strength like a compressor, and Gu Qingqing felt that her already thin body was about to be crushed into a paper doll.
“Mu…” She frowned, feeling that her relationship with Gu Mu was not quite right.
Realizing he had been too excited and hurt her, Gu Mu immediately loosened his grip and hugged her for a while before letting go.
"Qingqing, your second brother bought a gift. See if you like it." Gu Mu took out a small red box from his pocket. Just as she was about to take it, he suddenly closed his hand again.
"Brother Mu!" She thought he was playing a trick on her, so she reached out to snatch the box from his hand.
But he kept dodging, and as a result, the two of them fell onto the sofa, with her on top and him on the bottom. She kissed his handsome face with a soft smack of her lips.
Both of them were visibly stunned for a moment, blinking at each other, unsure how to end the situation.
"Qingqing wanted a gift, she was so eager to kiss her second brother, is she trying to bribe him?" Gu Mu raised an eyebrow and gave her a wicked smile.
"You're so mean, Brother Mu~ I'm not talking to you anymore." She struggled to get up, but Gu Mu grabbed her clothes and pulled her back.
"Oh! Second Brother—" Leaning against him, feeling his hot body and curves, Gu Qingqing blushed with embarrassment.
She wasn't his biological sister. Having had her soul replaced, she didn't treat him like her own brother, especially since they had just met today.
"My Qingqing is so cute when she's being affectionate." He gently flicked her nose before letting go, no longer teasing her.
"I'm clearly angry, and you're still laughing at me!" Gu Qingqing stood up, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him with a pout.
"Alright! It was Second Brother's fault. I apologize to Qingqing." Gu Mu pulled her down to sit and took out the small red box.
"Qingqing, take a look and see if you like it!"
"Mmm." She nodded. She had pretended to be angry just now to stop him from bullying her.
She opened the small box and saw two rings inside.
She looked at Gu Mu with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.
"Does Qingqing dislike her second brother? Can't you and your second brother wear sibling rings together?" Gu Mu saw this pair of couple rings in an Italian jewelry store and fell in love with them at first sight.
