Gu Qingqing and Fu Jue followed Thorne into his castle villa.
Three minutes later, the three arrived at a beautiful garden where countless colorful flowers were in bloom.
Roses and Chinese roses, in particular, almost completely covered the garden.
In the air, Gu Qingqing smelled the fragrance of flowers. Her favorite was the scent of roses, which was the sweetest.
It's absolutely captivating.
It's like eating golden honey; your mouth tastes sweet, and your heart feels sweet too.
“Fu—”
A woman's voice came from ahead, interrupting Gu Qingqing's admiration of the garden's beauty.
"Fu, I miss you so much, so much." A blonde, blue-eyed woman rushed over, opened her arms to Fu Jue, and prepared to hug him.
You should still express yourself in English.
Instead of speaking Chinese like the Muses.
This made Gu Qingqing very unhappy, because Minina could clearly speak Chinese.
They didn't care at all about her being Chinese, even though she could speak English.
"Minina, watch your behavior." Fu Jue sidestepped, easily dodging her ill-intentioned hug.
Although they used to hug each other when they met, it was just for show, and they would only touch hands.
It definitely wasn't like now, where she gives him a close bear hug.
"Ah—" Minina didn't have time to "brake" and fell directly into Thorne's arms, who was standing behind Fu Jue.
"Qingqing, don't misunderstand, there's nothing between her and me." Fu Jue didn't hesitate, pulled the dazed Gu Qingqing away quickly, and they arrived at the place where they had agreed to have afternoon tea together in just a few steps.
He glared at the muse, who seemed to be waiting to see a good show, with ill intentions.
"Hahaha—" Muse watched them having a lively time.
"Qingqing, sit next to me and don't wander off." Fu Jue asked her to sit beside him.
"Oh~" Hasn't she always been obedient to him?
"Is it really necessary to protect her like this? She's not some kind of treasure." Muse, sitting crookedly in her chair, still had that nonchalant attitude.
Gu Qingqing: "..." How come she's not a treasure? She's the big and little darling of her three older brothers.
Muse, just because you treat me like trash doesn't mean others don't treat me like a treasure. Humph!
Gu Qingqing was depressed.
He didn't dare to confront Muse directly, since she was Fu Jue's good friend and he had to give her some face.
Since it was only their first meeting and she didn't yet know Muse's personality and background, she couldn't afford to offend him so quickly.
Fu Jue didn't have as many worries as she did. Under the table, he stomped hard on Muse's foot without getting his shoes dirty, but with so much force that Muse screamed and jumped up from the chair as if having an epileptic seizure.
"Fu, you're too cruel! Ouch, my foot, it's ruined." Muse's eyes were filled with tears as she glared at Fu Jue while clutching her aching left foot.
Damn it!
It hurts so much.
This Fu Jue is actually serious.
"Serves you right! Who told you to be so foul-mouthed? Qingqing is my darling. She also has three sisters who are obsessed with spoiling their younger sister. If they find out you bullied her, they might come after you and beat you up."
Fu Jue carefully took Gu Qingqing's hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
If he didn't protect her, and she was bullied and cried her eyes out, the three Gu brothers would probably drag him to their corpses and whip him.
"Fu—" Minina chased after him and saw that Fu Jue was already sitting with other girls. She was so angry that she glared at him and bit her lip.
"I want to sit with you, Fu. Please tell her to give me her seat. The seat next to you is only for me. Fu, can you keep me company? I miss you so much. I haven't seen you in so long."
Minina spoke in English the whole time, not caring whether Gu Qingting understood her or not.
“Minina, don’t be ridiculous. From now on, the seat next to me can only be occupied by Qingqing. I will not let anyone who dares to bully her get away with it.”
Fu Jue spoke in Chinese, knowing that Minina could understand and speak it.
She spoke only English from the moment she opened her mouth, which was just to make things difficult for Gu Qingqing and bully her.
So he stated his principles directly: the three of them were not allowed to bully Gu Qingqing.
"Fu, how could you do this to me? Fu, I love you, I've always loved you." Minina suddenly opened her arms, trying to hug Fu Jue.
"Minina!" He easily pressed his hand against her forehead, maintaining a safe distance because of his long arm.
"Fu, I like you, I really like you so much. Can I kiss you, Fu—" But she struggled with her hands, like a duck paddling in water.
It looked quite comical.
Minina's sudden confession made Gu Qingqing very embarrassed and a little unhappy.
He's so outstanding, there must be a lot of girls who like him.
Zhai Wan'er almost went crazy because of him.
And this Minina was just as infatuated with him.
Thorne came in and pulled Minina to a chair on the other side.
She was most afraid of him, so she didn't resist.
And she should know when to stop, otherwise Fu Jue will really hate her.
Fu Jue was still satisfied with Thorne's attitude, which was impartial.
Minina is acting crazy today, she's usually very normal.
He knew she used to like him, but after he rejected her a few years ago, she stopped pursuing him and behaved normally.
That's why he maintained a friendship with her for almost ten years.
If he had known she would behave strangely today, he would have stayed far away from her long ago.
I don't know if Qingqing misunderstood.
"Thorne, you've seemed really busy lately. Why did you ask me out today?" Fu Jue hadn't seen Thorne for almost three months. If he hadn't happened to be in Country X this time, he probably wouldn't have seen Thorne again for several months.
