Gu Yan's emotions were perfectly crafted, his voice soft and tinged with grievance and helplessness: "I'm not worried, I just feel that Duoduo always comes home late at night, and I'm afraid that Duoduo has made bad friends and that's why she's like this."
"Actually, I didn't mean to follow Duoduo. It was Ji Yue who called me. I don't blame Ji Yue. It's just that I care about Duoduo too much, which is why I did something with Ji Yue that Duoduo hates."
"Duoduo, I know I was wrong and I won't do it again. Go eat with your friends, don't go hungry."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Yan's tactic of using retreat as a means of advancement was simply brilliant.
Jiang Duoduo never expected Gu Yan to say that. She watched as Gu Yan left without a word. He could leave, but Ji Yue was still here!
"Never mind, let's go have lunch together."
Anyway, Ji Yue doesn't seem to be leaving, so rather than leaving him alone to watch him like a hawk, it's better to let Gu Yan stay as well.
When the two of them are together, they can keep each other in check; at least neither of them can unilaterally suppress her.
With his back to them, Gu Yan was silently counting down in his mind. He had only counted from three to two when he heard Duo Duo's words. He suppressed the smugness in his eyes, turned around, and looked at Duo Duo innocently, "Really?"
Jiang Duoduo nodded, but she still felt a chill down her spine that Gu Yan was acting this way.
However, Qin Xue, standing to the side, frowned deeply, clearly sensing that Gu Yan's level was completely comparable to Lin Yun's.
As for Jiang Yuqin, she was stunned.
Gu Yan, who usually fights with boys with his fists clenched, is surprisingly gentle in front of Jiang Duoduo, and even exudes a pitiful charm that makes people feel sorry for him.
At this moment, Ye Nian, who was wearing a sapphire necklace worth five million, returned from a stroll. From afar, she saw Ji Yue and Gu Yan standing next to Jiang Duoduo, and... a strange man.
Ye Nian felt that the strange man looked somewhat like someone she knew.
But she couldn't remember who it was. As she walked closer, she stared at Qin Xue's face, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't recall who he resembled.
After Jiang Duoduo spotted Ye Nian, she realized she was missing. "Niannian, where did you go?"
"I saw you were busy... so I went for a walk." She straightened up, trying to get Jiang Duoduo's attention to her gemstone necklace.
However, when she saw the dozen or so Bulgari custom bags in Qin Xue's hand, her desire to show off vanished instantly.
...
After the six of them finished lunch at the mall, they became a little more familiar with Qin Xue.
After leaving the restaurant, they went back to the mall and strolled around for a while.
As they prepared to go home, all three girls except Qin Xue held a cup of milk tea and were chewing on the tapioca pearls.
Gu Yan bought the milk tea. He leaned closer to Duo Duo, licked his lips, and asked, "Duo Duo, are you full? Do you need me to hold it for you?"
Anyone with eyes could see Gu Yan's intentions from his face.
When Jiang Duoduo held the milk tea and looked at him warily, Qin Xue lowered her head, bit the straw that Duoduo had used, and then took a big gulp.
After finishing her drink, Qin Xue gave Gu Yan a smug, cheeky smile.
Isn't he infuriating?
Qin Xue was already next to Duo Duo. She moved quickly, took a big gulp, and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Duo Duo doesn't mind, does she?"
"I don't mind..."
The atmosphere was incredibly awkward. Just as Jiang Duoduo was about to continue drinking to ease the embarrassment, Ji Yue snatched the milk tea from her hand and threw it directly into the trash can.
Even if it were a woman, Ji Yue wouldn't allow Duo Duo to use the same straw as her.
