In the end, Gu Xin helped Cheng Huaijin answer the girl's question. Although her brother doesn't have a sweetheart right now, he's not from Qingzhou; he's just passing through. If you want to give him something, you'll have to ask him yourself if he wants it.
The young girl wanted to give Cheng Huaijin a purse, but Cheng Huaijin naturally refused.
After this young girl was rejected, no one else stepped forward.
Gu Xin looked at the young girls with envy. Although she was only a year or two older than them, she felt that she was much older than them.
Moreover, she no longer had the chance to shyly and timidly give gifts to handsome young men during festivals like the Qixi Festival or the Lantern Festival, just like they did.
The handsome young man beside her had been around since she was ten years old. After several years of getting to know each other, she probably wouldn't be shy anymore.
Seeing Gu Xin's sighing expression, Cheng Huaijin asked with a smile, "What were you saying to that young girl just now? It seems you scared her quite a bit."
Gu Xin said, "I asked her how she could tell we were siblings, and why she didn't think we were a couple. She said that she and her brother were like this. When I asked her that, I thought there was something wrong between her and her brother!"
Cheng Huaijin shook his head helplessly. He himself couldn't understand it. From the moment they met, he had always treated Gu Xin like Xiao Yu, just a younger sister.
Even though they've spent a lot of time together in the past two years, and Gu Xin looks more and more like his sweetheart, he has never had any feelings for Gu Xin that go beyond the boundaries of brotherly and sisterly affection.
Perhaps, this is their destiny!
Some people just don't inspire any romantic feelings in you.
The two walked along the river for a while longer before strolling back to the restaurant.
Just as I reached the entrance of the restaurant, I ran into Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, who were returning home. The two elderly people seemed to be in a good mood.
Back in her room, Gu Xin asked about it. Grandpa Gu chuckled and said, "Your third aunt's sister-in-law is a sensible and reasonable person who knows when to advance and retreat. She manages the Guo family very well. I suppose your third aunt and your third aunt won't have as many unpleasant arguments about their husband's family as before."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin was quite interested in Guo Yan's wife, but she hadn't thought about making a special trip to meet her. She said, "My third aunt's husband used to want to be a wealthy man in Qingzhou, and my third aunt wanted to be a wealthy woman. But things didn't go as planned. Their current environment, the people they face, and the things they experience are all different from before. I suppose even if the Guo family hadn't changed, they wouldn't easily have conflicts over their in-laws' affairs."
Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin smiled and said, "Grandma, Third Aunt is your daughter. Her personality is half like yours and half like Grandpa's. No matter which half, Third Aunt always puts the big picture first! And she doesn't get stuck on things and doesn't worry about her in-laws' affairs."
Grandpa Gu chuckled and stroked his beard: "Our Gu family's wisest girl is Xinxin. At her age, Huihui wouldn't think of so many things!"
Gu Xin proudly raised her chin: "Grandpa, if you keep praising me like this, I'm afraid I'll become so arrogant one day that I'll go and tell my older sister and the others that you're biased towards me."
Grandpa Gu laughed even harder: "Hahahaha..."
He knew perfectly well that his granddaughters all said that their elders favored them, but they never had any disagreements because of it. The sisters got along very well, so he didn't have to worry about them at all!
