"puff!"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
He couldn't help but spit out the tea, but in his haste, he managed to veer off course. Otherwise, if he had sprayed the tea directly at his beloved Xin'er, they probably wouldn't have been able to be together in this lifetime.
Gu Xin was a little flustered. She thought she was just whispering to her sister, but it turned out that everyone at the table had heard her.
Gu Nian originally wanted to explain after being asked that question, but seeing Lu Zheng's big move, she decided not to explain and just stared at Lu Zheng.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian also looked at Lu Zheng. Even their little girl could see it. Young man, you might as well admit it!
Our eldest daughter is indeed a graceful and beautiful lady, the kind of woman every gentleman would desire.
Lu Zheng felt a little awkward under the gaze of the family of four. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian, I just thought the two girls were sisters, but they looked very different, so I took a few more glances."
"Really?" Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian clearly didn't believe it.
Young man, you're still a little shy!
"What's so strange about that? One of us looks like our father and the other like our mother! Besides, our Xinxin hasn't even fully grown up yet! I'm telling you, Mr. Zhou, if you stare at a girl like that, people will misunderstand. To avoid causing trouble for the girl, you should try to stare at her less in the future. If you hadn't helped us today, I would have thought you were a lecherous man," Gu Nian said bluntly.
Gu Xin nodded in agreement.
She assumed the young master had taken a liking to her sister and kept staring at them. Of course, she didn't think he was looking at her because she was still young, and the young master was clearly the same age as her sister.
She had seen her fourth uncle on a blind date. He had taken a liking to the girl, and that was the look in his eyes. However, her fourth uncle and that girl did not end up together, and she did not know the specific reason.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive! I won't do it again." Lu Zheng was incredibly frustrated!
How could they possibly think they were taking care of this wicked woman!
He remembered clearly what Gu Nian had done to his Xin'er in his past life.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian just looked at Lu Zheng without saying a word.
"Oh." Gu Nian stopped looking at him and turned to Cai Xiaolian. "Mother, let's take the leftover chili peppers to the shopkeeper!"
“Alright, the three of us will go and see her. Her father, you and Young Master Zhou have a good talk.” Cai Xiaolian nodded, then looked at Gu Shouxin, emphasizing the words “have a good talk”—a meaning that everyone could understand.
Lu Zheng was so frustrated. He decided that he would secretly keep an eye on Xin'er from now on. Otherwise, if the sisters were always standing together, people would definitely think he had feelings for Gu Nian.
There absolutely cannot be any more misunderstandings.
Cai Xiaolian took out a basin filled with diced chili peppers from her basket and led Gu Nian and Gu Xin to find the shopkeeper.
"Some homemade snacks, have your aunt prepare them," Gu Shouxin explained, then asked, "May I ask how old Young Master Zhou is?"
"Uncle Gu, I'll be sixteen after the New Year." Lu Zheng didn't hide anything.
"Sixteen? That's about the same age as my eldest daughter," Gu Shouxin nodded and smiled. A sixteen-year-old boy and a fourteen-year-old girl, they are quite a good match.
"Uncle Gu, you just said your name is Gu Shouxin, are you from Sanchakou Village outside Zhoujia Town?" Lu Zheng decided that he couldn't go on about this anymore and quickly changed the subject.
