Lu Zheng chimed in, "That's right, a real man should be thinking about serious matters."
Gu En's eyes widened in horror: "Third Sister, Brother Yuan, what are you two thinking? You're even more outrageous than my father! Do you think I'm like Qi Moyu? My feelings for Xiao Qiu are perfectly innocent. Be careful, or I'll tell Grandpa, Grandma, and Second Uncle when we get back! Don't ruin my reputation!"
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin both rolled their eyes.
Zheng Qiu laughed: "Fourth Young Master Gu, to put it this way, I'm really not interested in your academy, your classmates, or your study abroad experiences. I have a lot of things to do every day, not just today, but probably in the future I won't be able to find time to have a long talk with you. So, I'm sorry."
Gu En looked hurt, like a wilted eggplant, staring at Zheng Qiu in disbelief.
Zheng Qiu nodded: "That's right, you don't need to ask anymore. I'm just saying what's on my mind. I can be friends with Fourth Young Master Gu, just like I am with Xin Xin and the Prince. But I can't have a long talk with Xin Xin by candlelight, and I certainly can't have a long talk with Prince Lu by candlelight, so I can't have a long talk with you by candlelight either. Fourth Young Master Gu, from now on, let's just interact like usual! Just like with Old Wang and Bai Yi."
Gu En felt a pang of heartache and instantly lost all desire to eat.
He suddenly stood up: "Third Sister, Brother Yuan, Xiao Qiu, you guys eat. My stomach hurts a bit. It's not far from home, so I'll go back first. Could you please take Xiao Qiu to... oh, no, I'm going back now?"
After saying that, Gu En turned and left, giving the impression of fleeing in panic.
Zheng Qiu was stunned for a moment, watching his retreating figure, feeling a tightness in her chest: "Did I go too far with my words?"
Gu Xin: "It's alright. Let him go back and calm down! My dad often asks him about his homework, so he wouldn't dare to delay."
Lu Zheng smiled and looked at Zheng Qiu: "I didn't expect you to be so direct, Xiao Qiu."
Zheng Qiu sighed: "I'm used to it. When communicating with adults, I try to be as concise as possible and explain the situation clearly, otherwise, some adults won't understand."
Gu Xin smiled: "Xiao Qiu, Enzi has never been able to tell that you are a girl. I really want to know, if he knew you were a girl, would he still want to have a long talk with you by candlelight?"
Originally, Gu Xin didn't want to joke about this matter, nor did she want to point it out and influence Zheng Qiu's emotions.
However, Zheng Qiu's words just now seemed to indicate that he understood Gu En's meaning, so joking about opening the shop now was fine.
Zheng Qiu wasn't embarrassed by the teasing, and simply said, "Didn't Xin Xin want me to be your sister-in-law or brother's wife in the Gu family before? Among the young masters of the Gu family, isn't the fourth young master just right?"
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin looked at Zheng Qiu in surprise, not expecting her to answer like that.
At this moment, the owner brought over six bowls of ice jelly.
Gu En left, which is perfect, so the three of them each have two bowls.
Gu Xin took a sip and exhaled with a sigh of relief: "Xiao Qiu, you really want to! To be honest, in terms of age, you and Enzi are really a good match!"
Zheng Qiu shook his head: "Forget it, I was just kidding. I have no plans to get married in this life. It's good enough for me to be a young man and travel around. What's the point of getting married? Of course, Xin Xin, you persuaded me that day, so I'm not so opposed to it anymore. Therefore, if I meet someone who is suitable in all aspects, I will consider it."
