Chapter 196 The Adult World Isn't That Easy



When they were about to go home, Gu Jin and Gu En picked up Gu Qingqing at the hotel.

This made her very happy, and she hugged them both tightly.

As a result, Gu Mu was both jealous and upset. Because he couldn't get close to her, he could only glare at them and vent his anger on them.

Back home, Gu Jin filled a bathtub with warm water for Gu Qingqing to take a bath.

At that moment, Fu Jue drove to the Gu family's house.

Gu En went to greet him. After all, he was the world's richest man. Even though he had become her sworn brother, he, as her older brother, still had to give him face.

Gu Mu, who had just washed up and changed into new clothes, came out of the bedroom and saw Fu Jue. She was so angry that she rushed downstairs.

"What are you doing here! Fu Jue, it's all your fault! Qingqing hasn't spoken to me all night. Get out of my house, I don't welcome you!" These words were a bit childish.

The adult world is never that easy.

"Huh?" Fu Jue was clearly taken aback, he really didn't expect that she and Gu Mu would have a falling out.

However, he didn't think it was his fault.

Therefore, I do not acknowledge it.

No apology.

"Say something! Fu Jue, are you stupid? Humph! If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I won't be polite to you."

Faced with Fu Jue's silence, Gu Mu felt like he was punching cotton.

If you can't hurt the other party, you'll just be wasting your energy.

Gu Jin also came out of his bedroom and saw Fu Jue.

The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Fu Jue went upstairs to the second floor and followed Gu Jin into his study to discuss important matters.

Gu Mu stomped her feet in anger and lay on the sofa, sulking.

Gu En didn't say anything; he stood in the middle, refusing to help anyone.

Even if Fu Jue has feelings for his sister, he neither helps nor opposes it, since he can't change matters of the heart even if he intervenes.

Besides, she doesn't seem to have any special feelings for Fu Jue right now, so whether they can be together and get married is still unknown.

There's no need to offend Fu Jue now.

Moreover, the fact that he pursued her earnestly shows that he is a decent person; I'm just afraid he might use dirty tricks to force her.

If it really comes to that point, resulting in a lose-lose situation, it will be bad for both sides.

An hour later, when Gu Qingqing finished her shower and came out, Fu Jue and Gu Jin had just come out of the study.

Gu Enrang's grilled skewers from the kitchen arrived, along with a dozen bottles of beer, ready for a late-night snack with everyone.

Of course, you have to pair grilled skewers with beer to really enjoy them.

"Master Fu, you've arrived." Gu Qingqing was taken aback when she saw him and Gu Jin come out of the study.

When did he arrive?

How could she not know?

Sending her a message would be good enough.

She's now wearing a nightgown after a shower, her hair is still a little wet and hasn't been dried.

"Hmm." Fu Jue's voice was cool and indifferent, but only Gu Jin saw a hint of amazement flash across his eyes.

It was probably because she was wearing a nightgown, her slightly damp hair draped over her shoulders and chest, and her languid appearance that it was somewhat alluring.

"Qingqing, come down quickly, it's time to eat barbecue skewers." Gu En heard the noise coming from the second floor and knew that the group of people had come out.

"Barbecued skewers? Mmm, I'm coming!" Hearing about barbecued skewers, Gu Qingqing couldn't resist any longer. Her face screamed "foodie," and she dashed downstairs like a little bird, rushing to the living room in a hurry.

She hadn't had barbecue skewers in ages; the taste was simply...

She also wanted to drink beer.

Summer is the perfect time to eat barbecue skewers and drink beer.

"Slow down, we've prepared a lot, we can't finish it all." Gu En caught Gu Qingqing as she jumped down the last three steps of the stairs, a move that nearly frightened him.

But he had no idea how long it had been since she had eaten barbecue skewers, and he was going crazy with longing for them.

When Fu Jue and Gu Jin saw her actions halfway down the road, they turned pale with fright and hurriedly ran down.

The speed was as if it were about to take off.

However, they were still two steps too late; she had already been caught by Gu En.

"Third brother, I'm fine. You're making a big fuss over nothing." Gu Qingqing stuck out her tongue, not happy that Gu En caught her.

She clearly intended to jump down and have some fun, but she didn't end up doing it.

"You little brat, Gu Qingqing, if I hadn't caught you, you would have fallen flat on your face!" Her words infuriated Gu En. She had never jumped down the stairs like that before. She used to be a very quiet little girl, but lately she had been running and jumping around.

They've become too naughty.

He shoved Gu Qingqing, whom he was holding in his arms, onto the ground and slapped her bottom hard with his large hand.

"Ouch! Third Brother, it hurts~ It hurts so much—" Gu Qingqing cried out in pain after being slapped on the bottom.

It didn't actually hurt much, but she pretended to be in pain, otherwise Gu En would get angry.

"Good for you! Who told you to disobey?" Gu Mu heard the commotion and walked to the stairwell, just in time to see her jump down the stairs.

I was quite worried about her at first, but because I was still holding a grudge, I didn't feel bad for Gu En hitting her.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, who knows what you'll do next time?" Like bungee jumping? Skydiving? A high-altitude swing?

Gu En shuddered at the thought of her growing bolder and secretly playing dangerous sports behind their backs.

Gu Jin and Fu Jue remained silent, their faces grave as they descended the stairs, their cold, sharp gazes sweeping over Gu Qingqing.

They were also unhappy because her actions were really dangerous; jumping down from the third-to-last step could easily have resulted in a sprained ankle.

Even if you wanted to play, you could jump down from the last step, but it was really too high just now, and the chances of twisting your ankle were very high.

She has to go to the film set to film the day after tomorrow. Even if she can turn it down, if she twists her ankle, it will hurt for several days.
