Mrs. Gu said, "You don’t always have to keep me company, go out for a coffee or something. Young people should have their own social circles."
Although Jiarou was two years older than Su Ruanruan, she greatly admired Su Ruanruan. Hearing her aunt’s words, she immediately said happily, "I’ve wanted to go out with Ruanruan for a while now, but I wonder if celebrity Ruanruan has time to grace us with her presence?"
Mrs. Gu laughed: "Ruanruan, your presence is confirmed, otherwise Jiarou might say you’re putting on airs."
Su Ruanruan, liking the Gu family, wouldn’t refuse and replied with a smile, "Shall we go out for lunch together later?"
Jiarou clapped her hands together: "A Mexican restaurant just opened in the east, let’s go eat there."
Jiarou cheerfully bade farewell to Mrs. Gu and then ran off pulling Su Ruanruan along.
"Have fun." Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
She watched the two kids leave, feeling envious of their youth, when Mr. Gu walked in.
"What are you watching that’s making you so happy?" Gu Yuanpei asked with a smile.
Mrs. Gu gave him a look: "Am I not allowed to be happy?"
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Gu sat down and took a sip of tea, showing concern for his wife.
Mrs. Gu, having something on her mind, asked, "How is Gu Ze’s matter going?"
Gu Yuanpei smiled, "Gu Ze is on a business trip, it will be a few days before he returns."
He added, "What, can’t wait to see the outcome?"
Mrs. Gu did not respond.
Gu Yuanpei really couldn’t stand to see his wife disappointed, he still felt that things weren’t so coincidental.
—It seems he needs to take action when Gu Ze returns to make his wife happy.
Su Ruanruan and Jiarou went to the Mexican restaurant, and indeed, the environment was very nice.
They chose a spot next to the floor-to-ceiling windows and after ordering, they started whispering, girls always have lots to talk about.
Jiarou had also heard about Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan, and she occasionally teased her about it.
Su Ruanruan glared at Jiarou playfully.
With her chin propped on her hands, Jiarou whispered, "Bao Jingyan is better looking than Bao Ziqi, and he seems healthier too."
Su Ruanruan blushed slightly.
"Ruanruan, your face is red." Jiarou teased her and pinched her face, laughing heartily.
The waiter came and served the food.
Su Ruanruan pushed Jiarou’s hand away and said softly, "Nothing can shut you up."
Cousin Jiarou kept smiling with her lips pursed, the two girls got along extremely well.
As they occasionally looked at each other and laughed, on the other side of the restaurant sat a man and a woman.
The man, in his thirties, handsome and imposing, and the girl dressed very innocently but her gaze seemed restless.
Mu Qun squinted at Su Ruanruan talking and laughing with others across the room, feeling restless.
Damn it, this little girl chats and laughs with others, but can’t utter a word in half a day when she sees him, Mu Jiu. Doesn’t she look up to him at all?
Mu Qun was distracted, and Zhou Susu across him got upset.
She always knew she was a replacement, she heard that Ninth Master once proposed to the Bao family for someone named Su Ruanruan.
So, this was Su Ruanruan?
Zhou Susu touched her face, indeed, there was a resemblance.
Feeling discontent, she looked over and coyly chided, "Ah, Ninth Master, it’s rare you take me out for a meal, why can’t you look at me instead of staring at someone else?"
"Speak properly," Mu Qun still had his eyes on Su Ruanruan across the room.
There, she was wearing a white dress today, casually draped with a light blue cardigan, surprisingly looking quite stunning.
