“Nothing.”
Gu Qingjiu was much more composed than Qin Wange.
“We just chatted about Brother.”
Since Qin Wange hadn’t even decided to tell Gu Qingmo, it was, of course, inappropriate to let Qi Yuefeng find out now.
“You two sure have plenty of common topics.”
Qi Yuefeng smiled, then hooked her arms around the two kids and happily walked off.
If that incident earlier hadn’t occurred, perhaps they would be like a family now.
After exiting the mall, Gu Qingjiu bade them farewell and cast a glance at Qin Wange.
She saw the latter gazing at her with a guilty look.
At least she was aware that there was a problem with the way she handled this matter.
Gu Qingjiu’s impression of Qin Wange was still pretty good.
After all, now that her alertness and sensitivity had heightened, there would ultimately be clues if a person held malicious intents even if it was hard to fathom a person’s heart.
At seven in the evening, He Niancheng’s call came punctually.
She got into the car at the roadside and then gently pursed her lips into a smile at the sight of He Niancheng.
Although she sounded carefree when she spoke with Qin Wange earlier, it suddenly occurred to her that she was in the same situation with the Chief Instructor.
Even if the Chief Instructor didn’t say it himself, Gu Qingjiu could feel the huge disparity in their identities.
But her situation with the Chief Instructor wasn’t quite the same as her older brother’s.
The Chief Instructor didn’t tell her, but he didn’t hide it from her.
And she knew it very well.
This thought made her mood sink a little.
“What’s the matter?”
As he started the engine, He Niancheng sensed that the little thing wasn’t in a great mood.
“Did you have fun shopping?”
He cast a slight glance at Gu Qingjiu, thinking that she was unhappy because he showed up punctually.
Gu Qingjiu shook her head and looked towards He Niancheng, not hiding this matter from him. “I’ll tell you something about my older brother.”
She recounted what had happened between her older brother and Qin Wange, and then she asked He Niancheng for his opinion. “Although it’s wrong of Sister Wange to hide it from my older brother, it’s not my place to interfere in their affairs. Chief Instructor, how do you think this will end up?”
“I don’t know.”
Gu Qingjiu expected this reply from He Niancheng.
He looked sideways at her with a slightly amused look. “So you think you and I will end up like your older brother and Qin Wange in the future?”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
A little embarrassed, she murmured, “You and I are different from my older brother. After all, they’ve been dating for a long time.”
“I know Qin Wange.”
Surprisingly, He Niancheng revealed some information to Gu Qingjiu without any reservation. “Qin Wange is a daughter of the Qin clan. Going by family status, she’s several levels above your older brother.”
“The reason she’s keeping it a secret is that she doesn’t have the power to change the Qin family’s thinking. You and I are different. Who dares to have an opinion about me dating you?”
That last sentence sounded incredibly arrogant.
Gu Qingjiu, who felt a little gloomy earlier on, laughed out loud at this. “That’s not what I meant…”
If she truly cared about such stuff, she wouldn’t have confessed to He Niancheng back then.
“Don’t overly concern yourself with other people’s business.”
He Niancheng stroked Gu Qingjiu’s head, sounding displeased. “You don’t even have enough time to think about me, and you have the time to worry about other people’s affairs?”
Although the Chief Instructor sounded a little shameless, this flirting technique worked on her.
