Chapter 277 Loosen His Muscles
Mengyu sighed inwardly, "Fine, I’ll go with you and check on her."
Gu Dongxing’s inner self was singing a victory song. Women, indeed, are easily convinced by promises.
Although Mengyu did not ask him to make a promise, in his heart, he took it as a fulfilled promise—he would only love Jiang Mengyu in this lifetime!
"Let’s go after lunch," Shuiyu called out.
The auntie who usually cooked for them couldn’t come due to a happy occasion at home, so they cooked their own meals.
Mengyu looked towards the kitchen, "Is it okay to leave after eating?"
Gu Dongxing couldn’t deny her a meal, so he agreed.
Mengyu felt puzzled, "Where is Shen Qi?"
Zhang Shuiyu scooped rice while speaking, "Oh, he’s got some things to handle today and won’t be back for lunch."
Actually, Shen Qi was secretly having Gu Dongxing investigated and even told Mengyu about it, so he felt guilty and dared not face Gu Dongxing.
Gu Dongxing had been wondering how Mengyu, who hadn’t been to the Capital City with him, knew so much about his affairs so detailed.
Now seeing Shen Qi avoiding meeting him, he understood: probably, the informant for Mengyu was this little guy Shen Qi.
Wu Jiangsheng was honest and straightforward, without any cunning, but Shen Qi was a cunning person. He probably asked about the major events in Beijing when calling his grandfather, then accidentally found out about him and Ye Qing, so he took the initiative to learn more.
This kid was clever; if he wanted to know something, naturally, he would find a way to learn about it.
He secretly loved Mengyu and probably wished that she would break up with him, so of course, he told Mengyu about it once he knew.
Fury in his heart, he thought of finding an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
"Since Shen Qi isn’t coming, let’s eat," Mengyu said.
"Wow, this dish is really delicious," Gu Dongxing initially just made small talk; in reality, everything he ate felt like chewing wax.
When eating those vegetables, he wondered, "Are these vegetables available at this time?"
Needless to say, those vegetables were exactly what Mengyu had Xiao Tao grow in the space. Unexpectedly, neither Shen Qi nor Shuiyu noticed, but Gu Dongxing did.
Wu Jiangsheng naively said, "That’s because a beauty cooked the meal."
Shuiyu blushed furiously.
Mengyu followed Gu Dongxing back to the military family quarters, where a group of military wives greeted her warmly, and she responded enthusiastically to each one.
Gu Dongxing’s lips curved upwards, "You seem to have a good relationship with them."
"They are nice to me, and I am naturally nice to them. Relationships between people are mutual."
Gu Dongxing felt like rolling his eyes at Mengyu: I treat you so well, yet you don’t reciprocate equally.
That old saying was indeed right; in love, the one who falls first is the one who loses.
Arriving at Gu Dongxing’s house, seeing the door tightly shut, he said, "She must be tired, probably asleep."
Mengyu didn’t care if she was tired, "Call her out. My time is precious too."
"Alright, I’ll call her out right now." Gu Dongxing was very pleased. If the little lass was willing to treat Qingqing, did it mean she was accepting Qingqing?
If Mengyu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely scoff him: In your dreams!
In fact, she agreed to treat Ye Qing only to prevent Ye Qing from clinging onto Gu Dongxing indefinitely.
Once she cured the other’s illness, she would see what excuse she could find to stick around Gu Dongxing.
