Upon hearing the words "girlfriend," Lu Xuexue felt as if she had been gently struck by a thin electric current, a warm, tingling sensation spreading throughout her body.
Her cheeks, which were already slightly flushed from the warmth of the room, suddenly burned even hotter, the crimson color spreading down her cheeks to the tips of her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink.
She subconsciously lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently, concealing the surging emotions in her eyes, but she couldn't help but quietly raise her eyelashes and quickly glance at Gu Luo's profile beside her.
Under the light, his features were clear and soft, with a faint smile on his lips, making him look exceptionally reliable.
Those usually clear and bright eyes were now overflowing with a sweet and shy surprise, like a pool of sweet honey.
Lu Xuexue's fingers, hanging at her sides, curled up unconsciously, her fingertips slightly cold, yet trembling slightly.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. A surge of hot warmth rushed from her heart to every part of her body, making her legs feel weak. She could only quietly bring her legs together, straighten her back, and try to stand more steadily, as if that would hide the almost overflowing excitement and happiness.
This is the first time that Brother Gu Luo has admitted his identity in front of outsiders!
The universe's momentary shock lasted only a fraction of a second before dissolving into an even greater smile, as if that brief pause had never existed.
He took over the conversation very naturally, quickly walked to the chair next to Gu Luo, pulled it out, and spoke with increasing enthusiasm:
"Oh, Xuexue, how are you? Please have a seat! It's freezing outside, you must be shivering from the cold on your way here!"
His tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of genuine praise:
"My sister-in-law is absolutely stunning! I'm not just flattering her, but her looks and poise are the most beautiful I've ever seen. Standing next to my brother, they're a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
When Lu Xuexue heard the affectionate address of "sister-in-law," her blush deepened, and even her breathing became softer, but the sweetness in her heart became more solid and real.
She subtly concealed her turbulent emotions by sitting down, gently adjusting her skirt as she did so. Her voice was softer than usual, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
"Thanks."
After settling in, Lu Xuexue quietly reached out from under the table and carefully hooked her fingertips around Gu Luo's fingers.
The moment I touched his warm fingertips, I felt the gentle yet firm grip of his hand.
This overwhelming sense of happiness found its place, slowly settling down and transforming into a shy yet sweet smile on her lips, her eyes radiating a gentle glow.
At this moment, the soup in the copper pot boiled even more vigorously, with fine bubbles constantly bursting and wisps of white steam rising, making the faces of the three people appear even softer and warmer.
While Yu Zhou was busy calling the waiters to bring out meat and side dishes, Gu Luo gently patted Lu Xuexue's hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Since Yu Zhou is one of their own, their interests are highly intertwined, and they will be cooperating for a long time. There are some things that don't really need to be hidden, and Lu Xuebao will definitely be very happy to do so.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively and cheerful, dispelling the brief tension from before.
