Chapter 454: Behaved
Since they were talking about pursuing someone, the two elders would definitely ask about the progress, so Gui Qing gave the answer first - she was not the kind of person who would change her decision just because the elders came forward, and Jiang Yuxu would pursue her as usual.
Jiang Zheng nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Marriage and love are important matters in life, so it's only right to be cautious."
Qiao Wan said, "Yuxu has no experience, so you should be more patient with him."
Gui Qing: "Okay, Auntie, I will."
Jiang Yuxu listened to the conversation between the three of them quietly without interrupting.
Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan came quite suddenly today, and they hadn't mentioned it to him beforehand. Jiang Yuxu thought about it for a moment and realized that it was probably Fu Xijing's "credit". As soon as he left, the two elders came over soon after.
Jiang Yuxu was originally worried that Gui Qing would be a little uncomfortable with such a sudden meeting, but she was embarrassed for only a moment before she adjusted herself and now started chatting happily with Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng.
Although he had already witnessed Gui Qing's social skills, Jiang Yuxu was still surprised today. Besides being surprised, his admiration for her increased to another level. He could hardly take his eyes off her as he watched her chatting and joking with the two elders calmly and neither servilely nor arrogantly.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng. It was the first time that the couple saw him staring at a member of the opposite sex, and they looked at each other tacitly.
Finally, Qiao Wan laughed and teased, "Look at Yu Xu, his eyes are almost glued to Xiao Qing. That's really rare."
Gui Qing was concentrating on chatting with the two elders and didn't notice Jiang Yuxu's state. After Qiao Wan said this, she turned around and looked at Jiang Yuxu. The latter was indeed staring at her.
Gui Qing laughed and reminded him: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Nothing."
Gui Qing: "Just focus on eating, Jiang Lu."
Jiang Yuxu said "hmm" and picked up the chopsticks after her reminder. He was so obedient.
Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng were surprised again by the scene before them.
The last time Jiang Yuxu was so well-behaved was probably before he was three years old. Although he was not a child who needed his parents' care since he was young, he was not a puppet who obeyed everything. On the contrary, he was picky about food since he was young and was very rebellious when it came to eating. Especially after kindergarten, he had never been so cooperative.
Now, in front of Gui Qing, he is as well-behaved as if he has returned to the age of three.
The old saying is true, love is like a culprit.
I thought that Jiang Yuxu had never had a serious relationship in his early thirties and probably had no chance to experience love. I didn't expect that he would be a "late bloomer" and meet Gui Qing.
That's good. Life is about experience. Although love is not a necessity, it will make life richer.
After the previous exchange, Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan also admired Gui Qing.
She is a generous and confident girl. When talking to them, she never puts herself in a low position and is neither humble nor arrogant. Such people are very likable.
Her extroverted personality complements Jiang Yuxu's. It depends on when Jiang Yuxu can catch her.
However, judging from Gui Qing's attitude, she must have feelings for Jiang Yuxu, and it is only a matter of time before the two of them confirm their relationship.
There's nothing wrong with this. It's normal for girls to have their own ideas. Jiang Yuxu has no experience, and pursuing her is a learning process in itself. Just take it slow.
During lunch, Jiang Yuxu basically didn't say a word, it was the other three people who were chatting.
Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng did not keep pestering Gui Qing to talk about the things between her and Jiang Yuxu. After a few brief conversations, they talked to her about her father and then about work.
No matter what they talk about, Gui Qing can always keep up the conversation and will never let the atmosphere get dull.
Although Jiang Yuxu didn't say much, he was listening to their conversation attentively. He could feel that Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng really liked Gui Qing. Even Jiang Zheng, who usually didn't talk much with the younger generation, was chatting with Gui Qing.
This also made Jiang Yuxu completely relieved. He did not interrupt or disturb others and just listened to the whole meal.
After lunch, Gui Qing left first. Qiao Wan walked her to the door and said goodbye to her, "Come to my house for dinner when you have time. There's a very good pastry chef in the kitchen."
Gui Qing nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely come over when I have the chance."
After Qiao Wan sent Gui Qing away, she closed the door and returned to the ward. She walked to the sofa and sat next to Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Yuxu was sitting opposite him.
After taking a seat, Qiao Wan glanced at Jiang Yuxu's arm in plaster and asked, "How long will it take for this arm to heal?"
Jiang Yuxu: "About two or three months."
Qiao Wan: "It's not like you to drive so carelessly."
Jiang Yuxu: "I've been so exhausted from the lawsuit lately. I didn't get enough rest, so I was driving while fatigued."
"It's a self-torture trick." Jiang Zheng said calmly, "If the injury isn't serious, how can we attract people to visit him?"
Qiao Wan was surprised. After hearing Jiang Zheng's words, she immediately looked at Jiang Yuxu: "You——"
Jiang Yuxu: "Dad is right, the pain is worth it."
Qiao Wan: "Why do you suddenly feel like your Ren and Du meridians are opened?"
Not only did he have someone he liked, he also took the initiative to pursue her and even used these methods. Even her as a mother felt unfamiliar with them.
"But, doesn't Xiaoqing notice you doing this?" Qiao Wan asked.
Jiang Yuxu: "My injury is real."
Qiao Wan suddenly remembered something: "Did you and Xijing collude with each other?"
Jiang Yuxu: "I didn't know he called you."
Jiang Zheng: "The self-torture tactic only needs to be used once."
Jiang Yuxu nodded, "I understand. I just want to confirm whether she still likes me."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Wan keenly caught the message in the words: "Are you saying that Xiaoqing liked you before?"
Jiang Yuxu nodded and squeezed out three words with some difficulty: "It should be."
Jiang Zheng frowned, "What do you mean by 'should'? With her personality, if she likes someone, she will definitely say it directly."
After the previous contact, Jiang Zheng already had an understanding of Gui Qing's character.
She is a very generous girl who understands social etiquette but does not beat around the bush. She will express her thoughts directly and will never hide anything.
Jiang Yuxu: "...well, she said it, but I don't believe it."
Qiao Wan: "Have you rejected her?"
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
Jiang Zheng: "What exactly happened between you two?"
When asked this, Jiang Zheng's expression was extremely serious. His intuition told him that Jiang Yuxu was hiding something from them, and the relationship between him and Gui Qing could not be summarized as a simple pursuit.
Qiao Wan had the same idea. She and Jiang Zheng looked at Jiang Yuxu, waiting for his answer.
At this point, Jiang Yuxu knew that it was impossible to hide it anymore.
What's more, he was the one who did it, and it is not his style to shirk responsibility.
Jiang Yuxu pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said directly: "I have been in a relationship with her for almost two years."
Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan were both stunned. Then, Jiang Zheng asked him harshly, "You haven't thought about taking responsibility in these two years?"
