Actually, Gu Hong had always known that Gu Qingjiu was good looking.
When she was little, Gu Qingjiu had exquisite features and fair and bright skin.
At that time, everyone around them called Gu Qingjiu Snow White.
But as she grew up, Gu Qingjiu became more and more reserved.
She kept herself covered up. Even when she looked at others, she no longer looked them in the eye, and instead had her head lowered.
And she started becoming fatter.
No matter how good looking a person was, if she didn’t look energetic and didn’t like to interact with people, people would slowly forget her.
It had been a long time since Gu Qingjiu had behaved as vibrantly and cute as when she was a toddler.
Seeing her energetic and exquisite daughter, it naturally shocked him.
“Qingjiu? Qingjiu you’re back?”
Qi Yuefeng too came out with a spatula in her hand from the kitchen.
Seeing the slim and graceful Gu Qingjiu standing in the living room, it stunned her right away!
“Qingjiu?”
Gu Qingmo suddenly walked out of the bedroom, too.
Behind him was a girl who looked to be of Gu Qingjiu’s age.
Hair falling over her shoulders, she was wearing a short-sleeved batwing coat, and a white down hat, appearing youthful and sweet.
Compared to the cold Gu Qingjiu in military attire, she appeared more of a delicate girl.
Standing behind Gu Qingmo, her enormous eyes blinked in a lively manner.
As she was close to Gu Qingjiu’s age, Gu Qingjiu looked at her a few more times.
Everyone in the house felt like Gu Qingjiu’s gaze at her seemed as if she was staring at some exotic creature.
Gu Qingmo walked over, then placed a hand on Gu Qingjiu’s shoulder. He smiled. “Dad, Mom, stop looking. She’s your daughter alright.”
Last month when he saw Gu Qingjiu, he reacted the same way. He felt calmer now seeing their similar reactions.
Moreover, after a month’s time, this lass gave off a slightly colder vibe.
It was the stern aura of a soldier.
Gu Qingmo still felt that the old Qingjiu was cuter.
Soft and adorable.
Unlike now!
“Oh, Qingjiu, come over quickly.”
Gu Hong was the first to snap out of his shock and accepted Gu Qingjiu’s sudden change.
Gu Qingjiu walked over to Gu Hong and the latter held her wrist. As he looked at the man beside him, he introduced Gu Qingjiu with a smile. “Qingjiu, this is Dad’s old friend. His family recently returned from overseas. You may address him as Uncle Hu Yan. This is Auntie Changhu, and this girl is Hu Linghan.”
So, they are Gu Hong’s friend’s family.
With Gu Hong’s introduction, Gu Qingjiu greeted them one by one.
That attractive looking auntie was Changhu.
She walked over and praised as she gazed at Gu Qingjiu. “Ah, so this is your daughter Qingjiu? She’s a lovely beauty!”
As this was a fact, Changhu praised her in a natural manner.
Her daughter Hu Linghan, who was standing by the side, walked up and asked curiously as she gazed at Gu Qingjiu’s army uniform. “Sister Qingjiu, are you serving in the military now?”
There was a curiosity in her eyes, and her voice was obedient and sweet.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. Her gaze, however, was fixed on Gu Hong’s old friend—Uncle Hu Yan.
The man looked familiar to her.
As if she had seen him somewhere.
Hu Yan, who wore a smile on his face and had initially wanted to compliment Gu Qingjiu, had a weird flicker in his gaze when he took a careful look at Gu Qingjiu’s face.
As for Gu Qingjiu, she recalled where she had seen Hu Yan before.
Her expression changed instantly!
