The two families are familiar to each other. And now there is another tier of children’s relationship, so there is no formal courtesy. And the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly livened up.
“We’ve known each other for so long, but I really didn’t expect Ah Jie and Yufei to be together. If I had known this, I should have set them up in the first place, so I wouldn’t have wasted so much time.” Mrs. Gu said this.
“That’s unnecessary. I think they will not like each other if we set them up. They have their own destiny and are naturally together. In the future, it is up to them, we as elders, it is useless to be anxious.” Mrs. Qin responded and glanced at her daughter.
Gu Yingjie also turned his head to look at Qin Yufei, squeezed her hand, and smiled.
Qin Yufei sneaked another glance at him and pulled her hand out. He has been holding it until now. How can she eat?
The small hand in his hand is gone. Gu Yingjie smoothly put his big palm on Qin Yufei’s leg. While eating, he responding to the words of elders, and secretly taking advantage of her. When Mrs. Gu asked her if she was still angry with Gu Yingjie and said that they should ‘be good together’. Qin Yufei replied to her, ‘It’s my fault and make Auntie laugh’, while laughing and reaching under the table to pinch Gu Yingjie.
Gu Yingjie suffered pain, sucked in a cold breath and restrained from screaming out.
“It’s also because our family’s Ah Jie is not considerate enough, Yufei. Please be more tolerant and talk to him properly.” Mrs. Gu gave Qin Yufei enough face in front of the Qin couple.
“Yes, yes, I will definitely pay more attention in the future.” Gu Yingjie was also quite cooperative. He was now in a good mood to the point of explosive. Thinking that this restaurant was a really nice, the food was really delicious, the four elders were really graceful, and his future wife was really beautiful.
He gave Qin Yufei dishes, picking the ones she loved. It piled the little plates in front of her high.
It would be humiliating to have too many dishes in front of you. Qin Yufei could only eat desperately. That her appetite seemed so good made Gu Yingjie even happier, and he couldn’t help but to eat a little more.
Mrs. Qin looked at this situation and said in her mind, ‘The wind and water have changed’. The food stuffers are now replaced by someone else. She calmly said: “Yufei, you should eat less.”
Before Qin Yufei said ‘yes’, Gu Yingjie said, “It’s okay, Yufei is thin, it’s okay to eat more.” After saying this, he lovingly gave her two pieces of meat.
Mrs. Qin speechless, daughter, ah, Mom wanted to save you, but failed. You can do it yourself.
So the feast was not even halfway through. Qin Yufei was stuffed. She would like to push the rest of the dishes to Gu Yingjie, but both parents are there. She is too embarrassed to do so. She took advantage of the four elders chatting without paying attention to her side and she pinched Gu Yingjie again.
Gu Yingjie bared his teeth. His family’s fierce woman greeting today is pinching people? He turned his head to look at her, and she looked at him with pitiful eyes.
“Want a drink?” He asked.
She nodded.
He poured her the drink. She wanted to ask for help when she took the cup and said she couldn’t eat anymore, but before she could say anything, his phone rang.
Qin Yufei’s nerves jumped with sensitivity and she hurriedly took a sip of her drink to suppress it. Gu Yingjie took out his cell phone and picked up. And once he opened his mouth, he said, “Sorry, I forgot to reply to you.” Don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, Gu Yingjie said to everyone in the room, “Excuse me, I’m going out to answer the phone.” Then he got up, touching Qin Yufei’s ear to appease her before walking out while saying, “Okay, it’s fine, go ahead.”
Qin Yufei can’t help but start thinking about it again. Her mind uncontrollably guessing who the person calling is. When the elderly people started talking about theirs again, Qin Yufei reminded herself that she had to relax, so she started eating again. Eat until she really can’t eat anymore and Gu Yingjie still hasn’t returned.
Qin Yufei did not hold back. She said she had to go to the bathroom, and she left the room. At the end of the corridor, Gu Yingjie was standing next to a green plant talking on the phone. When he looked up and saw her, he waved. Qin Yufei walked over, Gu Yingjie took her into his arms and continued talking on the phone: “Yes, no problem.”
Qin Yufei was in his arms and listened. Gu Yingjie kissed her on the cheek, light up the phone screen for her to see. The name on it is “Sam”, and the voice is a male. Qin Yufei pouted, but her heart was lighter. She put on a pretentious face, pointed to the other end of the corridor, and said with her mouth shape: “Restroom.” She said she was going to the bathroom, not to listen to him on the phone.
Gu Yingjie laughed hard, as if he could see through her small mind. Qin Yufei slapped away his hand that was around her waist and walked away with a high spirit.
When Qin Yufei came out of the bathroom, Gu Yingjie was waiting outside. Before she could say anything, he pulled her to the corner and then lowered his head to kiss.
Impatient.
Qin Yufei wanted to laugh and protest that the location was not romantic at all. But he was eager and passionate, and she was actually exactly the same.
A kiss ended, and he fondly pecked on her lips again, and then told her, “It’s my friend Sun Yian. He invested in a project and needs some money to turnover, so he asked me to borrow some.”
“How much?” Qin Yufei knows this person, Sun Yian. How can he not have money?
“One million eight hundred thousand.”
“How can he not have this amount of money?”
“His father did not let him do this before. He hid it from his father, and now the project needs some more money. His father will find out if he wants to move to the money. He can not think of a good excuse for the time being, so he borrowed first.”
“Oh.” Qin Yufei does not care about the money. “He did not cause any trouble, right?”
“No. He just talked to me about the situation. It’s fine, just a recent disagreement with his father, and his father has forbidden him to do this project, so he just wants to hide it.” Gu Yingjie kissed the tip of her nose, “I’m afraid that you are uneasy, so hurry to report to you. In the future, I will tell you everything, and I will tell you everyone I meet.”
Qin Yufei put on a fierce look: “Am I such a stingy person? I didn’t ask you to report everything.”
“Yes, yes, you didn’t ask for it. I was the one who was taking the initiative.”
“Then, make sure to report clearly.” Qin Yufei reached out to play with his collar.
“You look quite handsome in these clothes.” Given that he was doing so well, she complimented him, but then to add: “I have a good eye.”
Gu Yingjie laughed again and said, “Take your phone out.”
“What for? I’m not talking and texting with other men. No need to check.” Qin Yufei said while giving him her phone.
Gu Yingjie took her phone: “You have such a good eye, your man is so handsome, so it’s time to promote him.” He said while pulling out the contact book in her phone, searched for the name ‘boyfriend’ and changed it to ‘future husband’.
“Childish and mushy.” Qin Yufei frowned, but the corners of her mouth just couldn’t help but turn upward.
“Childish and mushy is right. That is falling in love.” Gu Yingjie shoved his phone to her. “It’s your turn.”
Qin Yufei bit her lips, pulling out his phone contact book, and complained: “Such a disgusting name, how shameful to be seen by others.”
“I don’t mind.”
“You are a love saint, a bunch of mushy the phone.”
“Hey.” Gu Yingjie protested.
Qin Yufei wrote the name down and handed the phone back to him. Gu Yingjie looked at it and was satisfied. He put it back in his pocket. Raising his eyes again, he saw her cheeks pink, her eyes bright as stars, brilliant and shy, which really made his heart flutter.
He took her in his arms. “And then, there’s going to be a day when we’ll get rid of that word ‘future’.”
“What will it take for you to know that you’ve reached that point?” She genuinely wanted to ask.
Gu Yingjie thought about it, “Probably when it feels about right, very stable.”
“This saying is the same as not saying.” Qin Yufei said with a queenly tone: “Mine is much clearer. When I won’t be angry with you recklessly, won’t think wildly when your phone rings, and when you go out, I don’t think nonsense.”
“Why do I think your standards are much tougher than mine? It sounds uncertain.”
Qin Yufei slapped him hard, suddenly remembered: “By the way, is Sun Yian the brother of that Snow sister?”
“Yes.”
“He wouldn’t intentionally not pay you back and then say he used his sister to cover the debt, right?”
Gu Yingjie laughed out loud, “How can you be so cute?”
Qin Yufei patted him again. “Gu Yingjie, don’t laugh. What is so funny?”
“He will not. He is my best friend. He knows I have a girlfriend, and does not want me to be his brother-in-law, okay? Last time he helped me a lot with the raw material problem in Yongkai, so I have to help him, whether in terms of friendship or favors. Don’t worry, there’s no conspiracy.” He laughed again, “And do not pay back the money and take his sister. This kind of thing is not even called a conspiracy. Too funny. Someone has to want it, too. How did you come up with it?”
“I was just joking. You said so much. What do you want?” Qin Yufei was fierce.
But Gu Yingjie was not afraid of her fierceness at all. He also suddenly remembered something: “Yufei, you seem to have been calling me Gu Yingjie.”
“Yeah, can’t I?” She glared.
“Of course not. How unintimate.”
Qin Yufei blushed and said with a stiff mouth, “Who wants to be intimate with you?”
“Call Ah Jie, or darling.”
Qin Yufei pursed her lips as Gu Yingjie placed his hands on her cheeks, trapping her in his arms. “At least you should call me Ah Jie.” He lowered his voice, coaxing her.
Qin Yufei blushed even redder.
“Hurry and call, just once.” He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against hers.
Qin Yufei felt very shy, obviously a very common name, a very normal thing, but he made it so sheepish.
“Call it, Ah Jie is only two words.”
“ Ah Jie.” she called out softly, and then his lips covered hers.
Qin Yufei’s heart beat wildly. Thought those two words sounded so good. She stood on her tiptoes and met his kiss.
