Time flew by. Back home, Gu Ximan sprawled out on the sofa in the middle, clutching a teddy bear, laughing so hard her whole body was shaking, her stomach churning. Pointing at Shen Qingling at the other end of the sofa, her voice almost cracked with laughter:
"You little rascal, you've finally met your match! Hahaha, this is hilarious! The way you were completely fooled by me, I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life!"
Her cool brown hair was scattered messily on the sofa, but she didn't stop laughing at all, even laughing until tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away haphazardly with the back of her hand, and out of the corner of her eye, she still couldn't help but glance provocatively at Shen Qingling.
At the other end of the sofa, Gu Luo was eating strawberries from a crystal fruit platter; the bright red flesh burst with juice when bitten into.
He looked at his sister, who was laughing hysterically, and then at Shen Qingling, whose expression wasn't very pleasant, and shook his head helplessly.
Since Shen Qingling already knows that he and Xiaoman are not related by blood, there is no need to hide their relationship anymore. Since he is a scumbag anyway, he might as well be scumbag openly to avoid being misunderstood.
Shen Qingling was laughed at by Gu Ximan for a full ten minutes. At first, she kept a straight face and pursed her lips, but later she simply stopped pretending.
She suddenly sprang up from the sofa, moving as fast as the wind. Instead of rushing towards Gu Ximan, she pounced straight at Gu Luo, who was sitting in the middle.
Amid Gu Ximan's exclamation, she grabbed Gu Luo's shoulder and planted a hard kiss on his cheek.
In an instant, the laughter in the living room stopped abruptly, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Gu Ximan's smile froze instantly, her eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth still maintained an upward curve. She went from being a smug "Xixi" to a bewildered "Bu Xixi".
Gu Luo was completely stunned. The strawberry was still in his mouth, the cool juice sliding down his throat, but he felt a warm touch on his cheek. The faint citrus scent from Shen Qingling's hair lingered around his nose, sweet to the point of being cloying.
Before Gu Luo could react, Shen Qingling kissed his other cheek three more times. The crisp, loud "smack" sounds were particularly jarring in the quiet living room.
"Ah! What are you doing, you little madwoman!" Gu Ximan finally came to her senses, screamed and jumped up from the sofa, rushed over and pulled her away, then used her sleeve to vigorously rub Gu Luo's cheek, as if she wanted to rub that skin raw.
Shen Qingling stumbled from the tug, but didn't care at all. She raised her hand and licked her lips, smiling slyly and arrogantly: "This is my response to you playing tricks on me. Anyway, your brother already has the Luo sisters, so one more of me won't make a difference, right?"
This is her style of doing things—outrageously mad and always seeking revenge.
Shen Qingling believed that her looks and figure were in no way inferior to Luo Shuning and Gu Ximan. Since Gu Luo could tolerate them, there was no reason why he couldn't tolerate her.
Don't say this man has any principles; if he did, he wouldn't have done something so outrageous.
"No, this is harassment! I'm going to beat you to death today!" Gu Ximan was so angry that her hair stood on end, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush up and fight Shen Qingling.
She likes to be the victim, but only between sisters. What are you, Shen Qingling, now?
"Are you sure?" Shen Qingling suddenly spoke calmly, her voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable certainty: "With me here, Gu Luo will never have to be subservient to anyone again, not even Luo Liang... If you want to be with the Luo sisters, you have no right to do so. What makes you think you can? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been kicked out."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Gu Ximan's anger.
Her outstretched hand suddenly stopped, and the anger on her face was gradually replaced by contemplation.
The living room fell silent again.
Shen Qingling's words hit Gu Ximan's biggest concern: her older brother had five girlfriend sisters, and his legs could be broken at any time.
Gu Luo also stopped wiping his cheeks, and his gaze towards Shen Qingling became more complicated.
Shen Qingling met their gazes, straightened her back, and added, "Let me be blunt. With me here, even if someone really does make a big blunder in the future, I can control the national media."
She paused, looked at Gu Luo, and her smile returned to its usual flamboyant state. "How about it, Gu Luo, consider taking me in too? It's a sure win."
Before Gu Luo could finish speaking, Gu Ximan spoke first, asking, "...Little crazy girl, is your family really that powerful?"
More than being jealous, she didn't want Gu Luo to be beaten like before.
Shen Qingling smiled gently: "To put it this way, my husband would be a first-rank official in ancient times."
"...That's really impressive."
Gu Ximan's eyes darted around, and she coughed lightly: "Well... actually, it's not impossible, but you have to make sure that my brother won't get hurt at all... Also, if Aunt Luo uses any tricks, you have to keep things under control."
He's still a silly goose.
Shen Qingling's lips suddenly curled up.
It's true that she can easily withstand this pressure, but she herself is also under the greatest pressure.
As long as you get in, you don't have to worry about not getting your certificate.
