She tugged at He Niancheng’s wrist and started wheedling.
He Niancheng lowered his head and glanced at her, then instantly pulled her into his arms and smiled at her. “Sure, we’ll do whatever you say.”
Every time he spoke in this tone, Gu Qingjiu found it impossible to resist.
She felt like the bones in her body had turned numb.
She got into He Niancheng’s car, and they set off for Longyue Mall.
“I’ll come over to pick you up at seven. Take note of the time.”
He Niancheng was still talking to Gu Qingjiu about returning at midnight while they were in the car. Naturally, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t be able to stay very long here.
“Mm, I’m just going over to take a look. If I have time next week, I’ll come back to accompany my mom.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded in agreement.
When they entered the mall’s car park, He Niancheng stopped the car for Gu Qingjiu to get out.
After waving goodbye to He Niancheng, she called Qi Yuefeng right away.
She was given instructions to the cafe on the first level. There, she saw Qi Yuefeng and Qin Wange seated next to the window.
Qin Wange was wearing a floral dress, which looked like a matching outfit with Qi Yuefeng’s dark orange dress with peony prints. Their dresses made them look like a mother-and-daughter duo.
The two of them were chatting merrily.
It had only been a few days, and already Qi Yuefeng and Qin Wange were getting along so well.
It seems like her older brother had nothing to worry about in the future.
She had no idea how to bring up the subject of her and the Chief Instructor dating.
As Gu Qingjiu walked over, the sharp-eyed Qin Wange caught sight of her.
She immediately raised a hand with a broad beam. “Sister Qingjiu.”
Gu Qingjiu also revealed a smile. After entering the cafe, she saw Qi Yuefeng gazing at her with a smile. “Qingjiu, how come you’re free to come out today? Didn’t you say you’ll be busy all week?”
“Since you’re here in the capital, of course, I have to come out to visit you.”
Gu Qingjiu sat down next to Qi Yuefeng and greeted Qin Wange. “Sister Wange, it’s been a long time since we last met. Have you been busy lately?”
“My project is ending recently, so not quite. Since Auntie is in the capital and Qingmo isn’t free, I came out to accompany Auntie to shop.”
Qin Wange explained to Gu Qingjiu with a demure smile. Qi Yuefeng, too, gazed at the two of them with a gentle smile.
It seems like Qin Wange and Gu Qingjiu got along quite well. She was becoming increasingly pleased with this future daughter-in-law.
“Aiyah, how I envy the two of you.” Gu Qingjiu feigned a sigh. “I’ve been extremely busy. Lately, my time is all tied up in training, and I don’t even know when I can come out again.”
Although she was going to come out next week, that was to meet the Chief Instructor’s aunt.
Gu Qingjiu still had no idea what the situation was.
“It’s like this in military schools.”
Qi Yuefeng comforted, “Focus on your training. Your dad and I are doing pretty well. Your older brother also has a stable job now. So long as you and your brother won’t do anything to worry us, all is good.”
“I thought I was busy, but now it seems like you’re even busier than I am, Sister.”
Qin Wange’s eyes were narrowed into crescents as she smiled, like a Spring Goddess, making everything around her pale in comparison.
Gu Qingjiu could see men looking stunned as they passed by.
She wondered how her older brother got so lucky to be fancied by Qin Wange.
Just like how Gu Qingmo was surprised that He Niancheng would fall for Gu Qingjiu.
The two siblings disdained each other from the bottom of their hearts.
“Qingjiu, when are you going back this time?”
Qi Yuefeng asked her.
Gu Qingjiu thought for a moment, then replied, “I need to leave later. I have training tomorrow, so I have to return to school today.”
