Chapter 345: Chapter 346 Tang Yuyan’s Actual Age Chapter 345: Chapter 346 Tang Yuyan’s Actual Age Gu Shijie’s gaze was fixed on Gu Qiangwei’s departing figure, the ambiguity in his eyes evident.
After leaving the cake shop, Gu Qiangwei had no choice but to enter another one and buy a cheesecake again.
Just as she finished buying the cake and looked up, she saw a familiar figure walking into the store.
Seeing the person approaching, she instinctively stopped, her eyes fixing on Tang Yuyan who was walking towards her.
Tang Yuyan, seeing her, was also quite surprised, her lips curving up slightly. “What a coincidence.”
Gu Qiangwei nodded slightly to her and politely greeted, “Mrs. Nangong.”
Tang Yuyan drew closer, her tone gentle, “You don’t need to be so formal with me. If you don’t mind, just call me Aunt Tang.”
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.
She was young and elegant, calling her ‘aunt’ seemed to age her a bit.
“You’re so young, calling you aunt seems to make you older,” Gu Qiangwei said with a slight smile.
That remark made Tang Yuyan bloom like a flower.
What woman doesn’t like to be thought of as young?
Though she looked young, she was indeed old enough to be her aunt.
“I’m not as young as you think. How old are you this year?”
“Twenty-two,” Gu Qiangwei answered.
Tang Yuyan smiled warmly, “Then I am indeed old enough to be your aunt.”
Gu Qiangwei was somewhat surprised.
She appeared to be under forty.
“I’m already forty-two.”
Hearing her state her age, Gu Qiangwei was lost in thought.
She was the same age as her mother and also shared the same surname.
The image of her mother had gradually blurred in her memory, but she could still clearly remember those clear, autumnal eyes.
When she was a child, someone had once said that their mother and daughter’s eyes looked very much alike; at that time, her mother was only in her twenties, like a young girl, and many people often said they looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.
But she was forty-two now, and her son seemed to be only about ten years old.
Seeing her lost in thought, Tang Yuyan slightly furrowed her brow, “What’s the matter?”
Gu Qiangwei came back to her senses and smiled lightly, “No, it’s just a bit surprising because you look very young.”
This was perhaps what being a rich woman was like, after the trials of time, she looked only a decade or so older.
Tang Yuyan laughed softly, not sure why, but every time she saw this girl named Qiangwei, she felt very cordial.
And every time, she mysteriously reminded her of the little girl in her dreams.
Her gaze flicked to the cake in her hand. “Are you also here to buy a cake?”
“Yes. I’m visiting a friend.”
“Since that’s the case, then you go ahead.”
Had she not also been going to visit a friend, she might have invited her for a tea, but thinking that she also didn’t have the time, Tang Yuyan did not make the offer.
Gu Qiangwei smiled and nodded, “See you next time.”
Having said that, she passed by her and headed towards the store entrance.
Tang Yuyan approached the counter, ordered a mousse cake, and soon set off to the Huo Family.
Because she was unfamiliar with the road to the Huo Family’s house, Gu Qiangwei was driving while looking at directions, leading to her arriving at the Huo mansion just as Tang Yuyan did.
After parking, Gu Qiangwei got out with fruits and the cake in one hand, and Mengqi in the other.
“We’ve arrived,” she said.
In front of the gate, just as Tang Yuyan was about to press the doorbell, she heard a familiar voice behind her. She turned around and indeed saw Gu Qiangwei, leaving her astonished and stunned.
