Luo Liang remained silent, and Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Shuhe didn't look at anyone again, turned around and walked to the bedroom to change her clothes. Her back was still straight, but her steps were a little slower than before.
Shen Qingling stood still, the smile on her lips slowly fading, and she secretly sighed in regret—she was so close to completely enraging Luo Liang.
She glanced at Luo Liang's complicated expression, quietly retreated to the sofa, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and concealed the regret in her eyes.
The clock in the living room was still ticking, but the tense atmosphere had finally eased a bit.
Not long after changing her clothes, Luo Shuhe left the apartment with Luo Liang and Gu Feng.
The apartment door clicked shut, and the sound of Luo Liang's high heels gradually faded into the hallway, finally easing the tension in the living room.
Suddenly, only three people were left in the living room.
Gu Ximan stood there clutching the hem of her pajamas for two seconds, then suddenly, like a happy little cannonball, she ran to Shen Qingling's side, grabbed her arm, and shook it vigorously:
"Little crazy girl, you were amazing just now! Aunt Luo's aura made my legs go weak, and you actually dared to protect Sister He. You're a true sister!"
Her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes shone like stars.
Shen Qingling's lips twitched uncontrollably. She looked down at the "little pendant" hanging on her arm and thought to herself, "This little fool's palace intrigue skills are probably not even at the beginner level."
If it weren't for the clause in his alliance with Lu Xuexue that stipulated they wouldn't harm Gu Ximan for the time being, this silly girl would have been eliminated eight hundred times over in this palace intrigue.
But on his face, he could only manage a perfunctory smile:
"We're all sisters, we can't just stand by and watch her be made miserable."
Gu Luo leaned against the entrance hall, taking in the whole scene. He shook his head helplessly and rubbed his temples.
On one side is the scheming Shen Qingling, and on the other is the dim-witted Gu Ximan; it's quite an interesting situation.
But his thoughts never changed; he would never give up any of the girls who entered his life.
As for their petty squabbles, as long as they don't cross the line, let them be.
"I'm going to check on Xuexue," Gu Luo said, turning and walking towards the bedroom.
The card game was suddenly interrupted, and he hadn't even thrown out his bomb yet. The frustrating feeling of being stuck in the middle made him uncomfortable, and all he wanted to do was go back and finish the unfinished game.
Now only Shen Qingling and Gu Ximan were left in the living room.
Shen Qingling pulled her arm away from his grip, which had been crumpled, leaned back on the sofa, and rubbed her temples. Just as she was pondering how to deal with this silly little brat, a thought suddenly struck her:
"Xiaoman, you really have a good best friend."
She paused deliberately, her eyes sweeping over the closed bedroom door.
"Of course!" Gu Ximan immediately puffed out her huge chest, her pride barely concealed: "Xuexue is my best friend who I grew up with, even closer than blood sisters!"
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned closer to Shen Qingling, lowering her voice mysteriously, as if sharing some earth-shattering secret:
“Little crazy girl, let me tell you something even more amazing—my old brother promised me he’ll give me my first child.”
Her eyes curved into crescents, and her mouth stretched almost to her ears, completely unaware of Shen Qingling's expression that froze instantly.
Shen Qingling's hands, which were resting on her knees, suddenly clenched tightly—Gu Luo had actually agreed to this, and it seemed like he had agreed very easily.
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and forced a stiff smile:
"Really? That's really... good."
Gu Ximan seemed oblivious to the complexity in her tone, and continued to boast to herself, "Of course! My stinky older brother spoils me the most!"
She swung her legs, completely immersed in the joy of being pampered.
He was completely unaware of the emotions that flashed across Shen Qingling's eyes.
It seems that Gu Ximan, this seemingly harmless pawn, needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
The significance of the first child is immense.
Nobody even thought of this.
Is this what they mean by "a simpleton's luck"?
