"Don't you want to take responsibility for me?" Lin Zhibai retorted.
"Ha~" Gu Fanyan found it laughable. "Please, we're all adults."
This kind of joke isn't funny.
His gaze dimmed, but he kept his feet firmly planted on the bath towel.
Gu Fanyan loosened her bathrobe and walked forward, not minding that she was holding nothing back.
After taking a shower, she changed her clothes and put on light makeup.
She remained calm and unhurried throughout, as if Lin Zhibai were invisible to her.
"Gu Fanyan," he called out to her as she was about to leave, "Do you really not care at all?"
Gu Fanyan turned around and asked, "What should I care about?"
Lin Zhibai was slightly taken aback and couldn't answer.
The room door was closed.
While shopping, Gu's mother asked Gu Fanyan, "I heard that Lin Zhibai is going to marry Yun Wanqing, is it true?"
Gu Fanyan replied calmly, "I've heard others mention it, but I haven't asked for details."
Mrs. Gu frowned: "How could he possibly be interested in someone like her? Although she is the second young lady of the Yun family, she has no connection with the Yun family anymore."
Gu Fanyan carefully selected clothes without turning her head. "Next time you play cards with those aunties, ask them. They know more than I do."
"This dress is beautiful, I'll choose this shop!"
As they were talking, Yun Wanqing and Lin Zhibai appeared at the shop entrance.
It's true what they say, you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.
"Auntie." Lin Zhibai greeted Gu's mother politely.
Yun Wanqing glanced at Gu Fanyan with a ulterior motive.
Gu Fanyan was wearing long sleeves and trousers, and had a silk scarf tied around her neck.
In this weather, there's nothing wrong with this outfit.
However, Yun Wanqing knew very well what Gu Fanyan was hiding.
“Young Master Lin, Miss Yun,” Madam Gu smiled slightly, “it seems that the two of you are indeed getting married soon.”
Yun Wanqing thought to herself, "So, Gu's mother had no idea what her daughter had done."
"Thank you, Auntie," Yun Wanqing said with a smile. "I should thank you too. You took good care of me when I was little."
"Since we've run into each other today, Zhi Bai and I must treat you to a meal. Sister Fan Yan, you must also do us the honor of joining us."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Gu's mother was just worried that she didn't have a chance to learn more about the two of them.
"Mom, I'm tired, I don't want to eat," Gu Fanyan refused.
"Let's go upstairs to eat, no need to go through all that trouble," Yun Wanqing said immediately.
Gu Fanyan knew perfectly well that Yun Wanqing was up to something.
She glanced at Lin Zhibai; now his words carried the most weight.
But he didn't say anything, just had a indulgent and doting smile on his face.
He had no objection to whatever Yun Wanqing did.
"Alright then." Gu Fanyan didn't care anymore.
The four people sat down in a booth at a Western restaurant.
The Gu family mother and daughter, along with Lin and Yun, naturally sat facing each other.
Yun Wanqing first had the waiter hand a menu to Gu's mother, while she herself took another menu and stood close to Lin Zhibai.
"Brother Zhibai, what would you like to eat?" she asked sweetly.
"I'll eat whatever you order," Lin Zhibai said with a doting expression.
Yun Wanqing said with a charming smile, "Then I'll order you a plate of chili peppers, okay?"
“I’ll eat it,” Lin Zhibai replied.
Yun Wanqing smiled and tilted her head, resting it on his shoulder.
They looked incredibly loving.
Mother Gu smiled and said, "It's so good to be young!"
Then she asked, "When did you two start dating? I had no idea."
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly: "These things are all about fate. Once it's said to start, it starts."
Gu Fanyan ignored them and continued scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, she felt something like a caterpillar crawling up her calf.
She looked down in confusion, her beautiful eyes widening slightly.
That was one of Nenglin Zhibai's feet.
He not only climbed up, but he also kept rubbing against it.
Looking at his face again, he was still earnestly showing affection to Yun Wanqing.
Schizophrenia!
Shameless!
Gu Fanyan pretended not to notice and continued scrolling through her phone.
He just wanted to see her blush and feel embarrassed!
If she reacts even the slightest bit, he will succeed!
However, even this slight movement was noticed by Yun Wanqing.
A glint of malice flashed in her eyes.
"Auntie," she changed the subject, "when are we going to attend Sister Fanyan's wedding?"
"Sister Fanyan is so beautiful and outstanding, you must be overwhelmed by all the choices, right?"
Mother Gu smiled and said, "Of course there are many choices, but she has to be able to approve of them."
"What kind of girl does Sister Fanyan like?" Yun Wanqing asked.
"Looks are naturally a given," Mother Gu replied, "but they have to be a good match for our Fan Yan. As for other things, they don't matter, as long as they have good character."
Yun Wanqing nodded repeatedly, "The Gu family is a reputable and wealthy family, so their family background and character must be top-notch to be worthy of her..."
As she was speaking, Gu's mother suddenly noticed that her elbow had moved and something had fallen.
But she was completely unaware.
Gu's mother subconsciously bent down to look.
This glance revealed something extraordinary; it allowed them to clearly see what was happening under the table.
"Bang"!
Mother Gu slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, as angry as a lioness, glaring at Lin Zhibai as if she wanted to devour him whole.
"Mom?" Gu Fanyan only realized it then, completely confused.
"Auntie?" Lin Zhibai was also a little confused.
"brute!"
"Smack!"
Gu's mother slapped Lin Zhibai across the face.
"Mom?" Gu Fanyan asked in surprise.
"Don't call me Mom!" Gu's mother roared, "I don't have a daughter as shameless as you!"
After saying that, Gu's mother turned and left.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she swayed a few times and then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"mom!"
When Lu Dongjue received Lin Zhibai's call, he was staying at the Yun family home, having lunch with Yun Suiwan.
"Gu's mother was having dinner with Lin Zhibai and Yun Wanqing, and then Gu's mother slapped Lin Zhibai and fainted?"
Yun Suiwan couldn't figure out how to handle this matter.
Lu Dongjue was also a little confused. "Whatever happens to him, Lin Zhibai caused this mess himself, let him bear the consequences."
Yun Suiwan asked, "Aren't you going to go and take a look?"
"I'm not going."
"Why?"
Lu Dongjue lowered his gaze. "I'm not going, that's all. What's the reason?"
Yun Suiwan stood up and said, "If you're not going, I will."
Lu Dongjue also stood up, seemingly wanting to go with them.
Yun Suiwan glanced at him and suddenly understood, "Lu Dongjue, are you going alone because you're afraid people will say you're jealous?"
Lu Dongjue raised a thick eyebrow, unconvinced.
Does he care what others say?
"Then why are you being so stubborn?" Yun Suiwan stopped and looked at him, as if she wouldn't leave until she explained herself.
Lu Dongjue mumbled a few words.
"What?" She didn't hear clearly.
"As long as you don't misunderstand, I don't care what others say."
Yun Suiwan was stunned. It turned out that he was afraid she would misunderstand and think that he was in a hurry to go there because he cared about Gu Fanyan.
This man.
I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful.
