“Si Mancheng, I’ll be treating you to a meal tonight. It’s Chinese New Year soon, isn’t it? The more the merrier. Alright, I’ll see you later, then.”
After Su Qianxun was done making calls, she looked at Long Sijue and asked, “Which restaurant should I book?”
…..
In the afternoon, Gu Mian headed to the hospital to collect some of her father’s medication from the pharmacy. After she received Su Qianxun’s call, she was about to head upstairs to get changed before going out.
Her mother followed her upstairs as she wanted to talk to her daughter in private.
Gu Mian simply took out a set of clothes from her wardrobe and was about to put it on. Her mother looked at her and asked, “You’ve been married for some time, haven’t you? Why aren’t you pregnant yet? Is there a problem between you and Tang Zui?”
“No.”
“Then… is he incapable in bed?”
Gu Mian’s mother was being too straightforward, and Gu Mian’s cheeks immediately reddened. She immediately shook her head when she recalled how fierce Tang Zui was in bed. “No.”
“Then, are you…” Gu Mian’s mother refused to let her off the hook.
“Eh, mum, things are going extremely well between us. Why don’t you leave the room first? I’m about to get changed.” Gu Mian dragged her mother off the bed and towards the door.
“Mian Mian, I’m telling you. You need to seize the day. It’s not every day that you come across a good man like Tang Zui, so you must not lose him. Do you understand?” Gu Mian mother’s advised anxiously.
Gu Mian pushed her mother out of the room and closed the door. She breathed a long sigh of relief and walked over to the bed before getting changed.
Gu Yan heard what her mother said. She walked over and said unhappily, “Mum, what’s with you? Why do you keep urging her to get pregnant?”
“You’re just a kid, you don’t understand. Go and do your homework!” Gu Mian’s mother said before she turned and went downstairs. It seemed that she must come up with something. Tang Zui was such a good son-in-law, and they must not lose him. She had to make sure that her daughter got pregnant as soon as possible.
Gu Yan was so furious that she stomped her feet on the ground. She opened the door of Gu Mian’s room and walked inside, which shocked Gu Mian. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she turned and saw that it was her younger sister.
“Yan’er, why didn’t you knock on the door before you came in?” Gu Mian asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“Big sister! Your outfit is really nice!” Gu Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke.
Gu Mian was a little baffled as she looked at her younger sister. She lowered her head to look at what she was wearing. She was only wearing a simple outfit, with a loose sweater and a pair of jeans. Her younger sister used to hate this kind of clothing item, and she had always mocked her fashion sense.
Actually, it was just that Gu Mian’s sense of style was different compared to her younger sister. Gu Yan was young, and she dressed quite unconventionally.
“This isn’t what you used to say.” Gu Mian folded the clothes that she was wearing earlier so that the maid could wash them.
“I was too young back then. I like your clothes now. Big sister, when you go shopping next time, why don’t you buy me whatever you’re buying?” Gu Yan’s eyes were shining as she said this.
“You want to wear the same clothing items as me?” Gu Mian looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.
“Yeah. This way, I won’t have to waste time on going clothes shopping, and I’ll get to focus on my studies,” Gu Yan said very earnestly.
Gu Mian said nothing.
“Promise me that you’ll do it, okay? I’ll be entrusting my wardrobe on you from now onwards!”
Gu Mian’s cell phone started ringing. She saw Tang Zui’s name on the caller display and answered the call. “Alright, sure. I’ll go downstairs immediately.”
“Is it a call from Tang Zui? What are you guys doing tonight? Can I tag along?” Gu Yan held Gu Mian’s arm.
“Not tonight. We’ll bring you along some other day.” Gu Mian did not think much of it. Never had she expected her younger sister to be harbouring romantic intentions towards Tang Zui.
Gu Yan got pissed and left.
When Gu Mian went downstairs, she saw Tang Zui’s car outside the front door. She walked over to the front passenger seat, opened the door and entered the vehicle. “Do you want to come in for a cup of tea?”
