After everyone left, Gu Xin rubbed her temples.
A moment later, Fatty Wang came in carrying a tray: "Third Miss, Xiao Qiu's situation is settled. I've brought the food here for you to eat together."
Gu Xin nodded: "Thanks!"
Fatty Wang diligently helped set the table, and Gu Xin smiled helplessly, "Fatty Wang, you've never done this kind of thing before, have you?"
Fatty Wang shook his head: "How could that be? Why do you think my grandmother, my mother, and my aunts dote on me so much? It's because I'm sensible and I know how to sweet-talk people!"
Gu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha, you're quite self-aware!"
Fatty Wang said seriously, "When you're in the martial arts world, you absolutely need to know your own limitations!"
"Xinxin, Young Master Wang!" At this moment, Zheng Qiu entered.
"Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu, come sit down and eat. You've been hungry all day, don't let your little body get too hungry." Fatty Wang walked over, put his arm around Zheng Qiu's shoulder, and dragged her to the table.
Zheng Qiu: "..."
What's with this sudden show of kindness?
Gu Xin shrugged, indicating that she couldn't understand it either.
Fatty Wang set out the bowls and chopsticks for the two of them and looked at Zheng Qiu with a grin.
Zheng Qiu: "...Young Master Wang, please don't laugh like that, it's creepy."
Fatty Wang waved his hand: "Xiao Qiu, we've been brothers for drinks and climbed mountains together, why are you being so formal! Just call me Fatty Wang like Third Sister does. Or, you can call me Brother Wang, like Gu Xiao Si does, or Old Wang?"
Zheng Qiu: "?"
Fatty Wang continued, "Xiao Qiu, you're quite familiar with the Third Miss, aren't you? Have you ever read Detective Series? The stories published by the bookstore run by the Third Miss's fiancé, Prince Lu, and Gu Xiao Si. As the coroner, you must have read them, right?"
Zheng Qiu nodded: "Yes, I've seen it."
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up: "So, are you curious about who Mr. Mou is? Or have you already had the privilege of meeting Mr. Mou?"
Zheng Qiu immediately understood, and then glanced at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin buried her head and focused on eating.
Zheng Qiu said in a serious tone, "Old Wang, I haven't met Mr. Mou yet. I'm sorry, I can't tell you about Mr. Mou's demeanor."
Fatty Wang's expression changed instantly, faster than flipping through a book. He said listlessly, "So you haven't seen it either! I thought you were with the Third Miss, and since you're a coroner, you must have seen it!"
Zheng Qiu shook her head: "Sigh, I only came to Beijing at the beginning of this year, so I haven't had a chance to tell Xin Xin about this yet!"
Fatty Wang suddenly clapped his hands, startling Gu Xin who was eating.
Gu Xin glared at him: "Why are you making such a fuss? If you're not going to eat, go to sleep. Don't bother me and Xiao Qiu."
Fatty Wang shook his head: "No, no, no, I have to do this for the good of Lord Gu and Prince Lu. With me around, people won't gossip. It's so late at night, and you and Xiao Qiu are all alone together. People will gossip if they find out."
Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu: "..."
Then the two decided to ignore the fat man and simultaneously lowered their heads to eat.
Fatty Wang said to himself, "Third Miss, you see how much Xiao Qiu and I want to meet Mr. Mou. Why don't you go and talk to Prince Lu and ask him to arrange a meeting for us? I really want to admire Mr. Mou's demeanor! Don't make me ask Gu Xiao Si. I already asked him, and he said he hasn't met him either!"
