Chapter 580 Xiaoman's belated realization Shen Qingling's fingers unconsciously caressed the sofa, her tone carrying a hint of knowing mockery: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to have gone after Luo Shuling as well."
She had already learned about Luo Shuling through her family connections. In Guangya, she was a carefree girl who laughed without a care in the world. She seemed simple-minded, but in reality, she was very cunning.
How could someone who is likely to be the next head of the Luo family in the capital really be a "naive and innocent" person?
All of this was just a trap set by the other side.
"Now that you know the truth, how about it? Still devoted to your old man?" Gu Ximan leaned forward, her cool brown hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes full of cunning probing. She instinctively crossed her arms over her chest, making her soft features even more prominent.
Shen Qingling remained silent in response.
She looked down at the tips of her shoes, her mind flashing back to the events of the past few days in Caizhou—Gu Luo's focused profile as he played the violin, the gentleness and untamed spirit hidden in the music; the warm skin her lips touched when she kissed his cheek just now; and now, even knowing that this was Luo Shuling's scheme, she still couldn't resist the urge to get closer.
A few seconds later, Shen Qingling suddenly looked up, her face regaining its usual carefree and unrestrained demeanor, and said decisively, "Of course. Tonight, I'll either take Gu Luo back, or I'll stay here."
"No way? You're that thirsty?" Gu Ximan opened her mouth wide exaggeratedly, looking Shen Qingling up and down as if she were looking at some rare object. Finally, she shook her head with amusement: "You want to possess someone right after we just kissed?"
"Speaking of thirst, didn't someone go to 'ecstasy' with Gu Luo right after I left this morning?" Shen Qingling retorted, raising her eyebrows and laughing arrogantly: "You two didn't even last twenty minutes, how thirsty must you be normally? I was just thinking of Gu Luo."
"No, you know that?" Gu Ximan's playful expression instantly turned into wariness. She quickly stood up and looked around, not even missing the area under the sofa, and tentatively asked, "Little crazy girl, did you install a hidden camera in the living room?"
"Why pretend?" Shen Qingling chuckled, leaning back on the sofa and smoothing her hair behind her ear. "Nothing you do can escape my eyes."
"Oh right, you know everything, but you still got completely fooled by me, didn't you?" Gu Ximan immediately seized the opportunity, raising her chin triumphantly like a victorious little rooster.
"Really? Do you know how ridiculous you look right now? You'll be crying sooner or later."
Gu Luo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he listened to the two women's heated argument.
He cleared his throat, about to interject, "No, um, I..."
"Shut up!"
Two voices rang out at the same time, making Gu Luo's eardrums ache.
Gu Ximan put her hands on her hips, puffed out her pink cheeks, and glared at him irritably: "What right do men have to interrupt when women are talking? You, you big scumbag, have no say in the management of your 'harem'. Everything has to be done by us!"
Looking at her adorable, puffed-up face, Gu Luo felt a touch of helplessness in his eyes, thinking to himself—you silly girl, you're being sold out and you're still helping them count the money.
He was about to speak up and offer some advice when Shen Qingling preemptively declared, "Since neither of you siblings has any objections, then from now on we are family."
Before she finished speaking, she got up and walked to Gu Luo's side, then decisively fell into his arms. Her soft body, carrying a faint girlish fragrance, instantly enveloped him.
Gu Luo stiffened, wanting to push her away, but seeing Gu Ximan watching intently from the side, ready to help at any moment, she ultimately let her lean on her.
Shen Qingling sensed Gu Luo's tacit agreement, a triumphant smile playing on her lips. She looked up and kissed him on the cheek again: "I'll stay tonight."
"That won't do." Gu Luo refused decisively this time: "Shu Ning is coming later, and we have important matters to discuss."
“Alright, then tomorrow it is.” Shen Qingling didn’t press the matter, and got up from his arms with a smile: “I’ll come and ‘take over’ you again tomorrow.”
After saying that, he waved and walked straight out of the apartment. The security door clicked shut, completely shutting out the night outside.
The living room fell silent instantly. Gu Ximan immediately rushed to Gu Luo's side, shaking his arm happily: "Brother! With Shen Qingling, this crazy girl, backing us up, we won't have to put up with Aunt Luo's attitude anymore!"
In her heart, the last time Gu Luo was beaten, she was physically hurt by him, but the pain was felt in her own heart.
In this way, we won't have to worry about Luo Liang using capital tactics anymore.
The family now has more capital.
Fighting capital with capital.
