When Qi Yefan saw Qi Xiaoran enter, his expression turned stiff.
He got to his feet, clenched his hands into fists, and placed them on the table. He gazed at Qi Xiaoran and said in a dark tone, “Ran Ran.”
Although Qi Xiaoran’s body turned stiff, she subconsciously walked over and called out, “Brother…”
It sounded quite pitiful.
Qi Yefan made a surprising gesture—he pulled Qi Xiaoran over. Thinking that he would do something to Qi Xiaoran, Gu Qingmo subconsciously got up to stop him. However, he then saw Qi Yefan circle his arm around Qi Xiaoran’s waist. “You’re not at all obedient these days.”
He then pinned her down on the seat next to him.
Seeing such a situation, Gu Qingmo then relaxed.
However, Gu Qingjiu was also somewhat surprised by that gesture earlier.
She had a nagging feeling that Qi Yefan and Qi Xiaoran were intimate to the point of absurdity.
Alas, she didn’t dare to overthink this.
After all, it was risky speculation.
But apart from that, there didn’t seem to be any conflict between the duo.
Mostly, from how Gu Qingjiu saw it, although Qi Xiaoran was an aloof girl, she was unbelievably obedient in front of her older brother.
Because Gu Qingjiu was the main lead that day, they tried to revolve around her topic.
Halfway through the meal, Qi Yefan and Qi Xiaoran walked out, saying they were going outside to talk. The remaining trio didn’t think too much about this.
After they went out, Gu Qingjiu casually mentioned, “Brother, how’s work coming along?”
Gu Qingmo paused, then replied happily, “Not bad. Our company is expanding our business. Perhaps I might be assigned overseas shortly after. The company has intentions of sending me over. Going over would mean better prospects for me.”
Gu Qingjiu raised her brows. “Brother, what is Sister Wange to do if you go overseas?”
Qin Wange, who was eating, froze for a moment, then instantly replied with a smile. “Your brother’s future is more important. I will find a chance to go over with him.”
Gu Qingmo was a little shocked. “But isn’t your company amid expansion as well? I’ve told you before, I wouldn’t be overseas for long, for only about two years. It’s not like I’m never coming back again.”
As he spoke, he even set down his chopsticks.
The duo argued over this issue. But according to Gu Qingmo’s wishes, he didn’t seem willing for Qin Wange to go over with him.
Qin Wange revealed a rare aggrieved look. “We’ve only just graduated, and you’re saying we have to be away from each other?”
Helpless, Gu Qingmo coaxed Qin Wange softly, “But Wange, think about it. Your company needs you right now. Besides, I will only be gone for two years. Can’t you endure it for two years?”
Qin Wange lowered her head and stopped speaking.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She felt like she had just eaten a mouthful of dog food[1].
It was clear that there was a difference in opinion between the two of them. Gu Qingjiu decided to give them some private space, so she got up and said, “I’m going to the washroom. You guys can continue chatting.”
Gu Qingmo also realized that with Gu Qingjiu around, it wasn’t convenient for them to talk. Hence, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, also take the chance to check on Yefan and his sister. They’ve been gone for ages. See if they’ve left or something.”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded, then went out alone.
Perhaps because of having eaten too much dog food, at this moment, Gu Qingjiu particularly missed Helian Niancheng. She wondered what he was doing at the moment.
