Chapter 607 Shen Qingling's Suspicion Gu Luo looked at the girl's straightforward joy, reached out to wipe the foam from the corner of her mouth, and then pinched her delicate cheeks.
The sweet atmosphere reached another climax.
The warm light in the bathroom shone on the two of them, and the minty scent of toothpaste mingled with their own breath, creating the gentlest fragrance in the morning light.
Lu Xuexue leaned over and kissed Gu Luo on the cheek, then picked up their towels and urged him with a smile, "Hurry up and wash up, let's go home~~~"
Two hours later.
The restaurant of Gujia Apartment is filled with the aroma of lean meat congee.
The porridge in the white porcelain bowl was thick and creamy. Gu Ximan stirred it gently with a spoon, but didn't eat much of it, her gaze fixed on Lu Xuexue across from her: "Xuexue, I'm so sorry to have to put so much pressure on your uncle and aunt all by yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuexue gently shook her head: "Don't worry, Xiaoman, I've taken care of everything."
She put down the fried dough stick, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, and spoke as casually as if she were talking about buying a nice eraser yesterday: "My parents were just a little agitated at first, but after I talked to them nicely, they understood and won't be looking for Brother Gu for the time being."
Sunlight streamed through the restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows, making the little girl's already fair skin appear almost translucent. With her pigtails hanging over her shoulders, she still looked like the obedient and sensible little girl who followed Gu Ximan around.
Shen Qingling sat at the other end of the dining table, holding a cup of hot milk, listening quietly to the conversation between the two without saying a word.
His gaze fell on Lu Xuexue, but unlike Gu Ximan's worry, it carried a hint of inquiry, as if he were dissecting an interesting case.
There's no need to dwell on the matter itself; rather, her keen intuition led her to grasp two key points—Lu Xuexue is an only child, and her parents already know about Gu Luo's existence.
Shen Qingling gently swirled the milk in the glass.
The thoughts of parents of only daughters: How can they sit idly by and watch their daughter have an ambiguous relationship with a man surrounded by several girls?
This will definitely put pressure on Gu Luo, and the ultimate target of this pressure will inevitably be the protection of their daughter, which, to put it bluntly, is that marriage certificate.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingling couldn't help but think of Luo Shuling—that seemingly carefree woman who actually schemed against everyone.
Having been tricked by Luo Shuling before, Shen Qingling always subconsciously became more cautious.
Is Lu Xuexue in front of me really as weak and simple as she appears?
The fact that she could single-handedly "appease" her parents, who are top lawyers in Caizhou, shows a level of thought and skill that is not typical of a young girl who only follows others around.
Shen Qingling's wariness towards Luo Shuling was unconsciously replicated on Lu Xuexue.
She picked up the milk and took a sip. The warm liquid slid down her throat, but her gaze remained fixed on Lu Xuexue.
Lu Xuexue was still chatting enthusiastically with Gu Ximan, completely unaware of Shen Qingling's barely perceptible gaze.
This is actually the same principle as Li Shanchang being beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang in the end; we should thank Sima Yi.
Lu Xuexue is Li Shanchang, and Luo Shuling is Sima Yi.
Shen Qingling didn't know if her sixth sense was right or wrong, but it was always good to be cautious. After all, this little girl had subtly indicated last night that she wouldn't get involved in the fight for the marriage certificate.
And today.....
Is it truly an unavoidable force majeure event?
