Chapter 549: Clichés The winter sun slanted into the living room, falling on the light grey fabric sofa, warm enough to dry out the cotton wool.
Gu Luo was in a good mood. The trouble with Bao Lei had just been solved, and he had been comfortably served by Gu Ximan three times. At this moment, there was a relaxed smile between his eyebrows. He raised his hand and rubbed Gu Ximan's cold tea-colored hair:
"You two sit on the sofa for a while. Xiao Man, pour Qing Ling a cup of hot tea. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
"Okay, okay, then I want to eat egg fried rice."
Gu Ximan responded with her mouth, but her steps were slow. She walked to the water dispenser and took a celadon cup. When she filled it with water, she deliberately let the water flow slowly and small, as if she was angry with someone.
Shen Qingling was not polite. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down. His fingertips gently stroked the knitted blanket on the armrest of the sofa, but his eyes were not idle. He looked Gu Ximan up and down carefully - the girl's cheeks were glowing with a rosy glow, as if a layer of fine honey was applied. Her skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out of it. Even the corners of her eyes had a little blush that had not faded. Where was the pale look like when she fainted before?
"Xiao Man, you've recovered quite well."
Shen Qingling took the hot tea handed to him by Gu Ximan, felt the warmth on the cup wall, and took a sip. His tone sounded casual, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Ximan's expression.
Gu Ximan immediately raised her chin, shook her head proudly, and swept her long hair over her shoulders: "Of course! I don't even care who is taking care of me."
I secretly muttered in my heart - That's right, I rely on the capital of this stinky old man to maintain myself.
As the saying goes, men are the best skin care products for women, and macho men are even more of a luxury.
Look at this old man's physical strength. He is simply a macho man among macho men. How can he not look good?
Shen Qingling didn't respond. His fingers holding the teacup gently stroked the rim of the cup, and his mind was calculating, thinking about how to get information out of Gu Ximan.
The Luo family was in turmoil a while ago, and Luo Liang moved out with his daughters. It must be related to Gu Luo.
The thing that made Luo Liang so angry was probably about their relationship.
What could be wrong in a relationship? The only thing wrong is cheating.
Otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a big fuss. Then the question arises, if Gu Luo cheated on his wife, who would he cheat on him with?
It is unlikely that Gu Luo would cheat on someone else, such as Lin You.
But if I cheat on my sister...
Let’s think about it from another perspective. What if it’s not an outsider, but a younger sister at home?
What if it was Luo Shuning or Luo Shuling?
This makes sense now, and the answer is obvious.
Then work backwards with the answer.
Thinking of this, she put down her teacup, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a voice as flat as if she were talking about the weather, but with an unquestionable certainty:
"Who wins, Luo Shuning or Luo Shuhe?"
With a "swish", Gu Ximan's hand holding the water cup stopped in mid-air, and the water almost spilled out.
The smug look on her face froze instantly, her eyes widened, the corners of her mouth still maintained an upward arc, and her expression seemed to be paused, which was particularly wonderful.
What the hell?!
What's going on?
Gu Ximan reacted very quickly. The next second, she placed the cup on the coffee table, deliberately making a soft "dong" sound, trying to hide her panic.
"Who won? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Shen Qingling saw her momentary loss of composure clearly, and immediately felt relieved. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned back on the sofa, his tone more steady: "Literally."
She didn't ask any further questions, but threw a stone, waiting for Gu Ximan to reveal herself.
Seeing Shen Qingling so confident, Gu Ximan clutched the corner of her clothes and opened her mouth, wanting to laugh it off again. However, when she met Shen Qingling's understanding eyes, she swallowed the words back and could only ask tentatively:
"Little crazy girl, how did you know?"
Shen Qingling's heart sank, and he thought to himself, is this really the case?
But he still pretended to be calm on the surface, picked up the teacup and took another sip, then said slowly: "Don't worry about it, I have my own way."
She kept it a secret on purpose just to make Gu Ximan more panicked, and maybe even get more information out of her.
The living room suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional bird song outside the window.
The sun still shone warmly on the two of them. Gu Ximan was in a complicated mood and glanced at Shen Qingling from time to time, wondering how much she knew.
Shen Qingling drank tea calmly, occasionally glancing towards the kitchen, waiting for Gu Luo to come out while putting pressure on Gu Ximan.
There seemed to be an invisible thread entangled in the air, one end was tied to Gu Ximan's doubts, and the other end was held in Shen Qingling's hand, trembling slightly.
