Chapter 48: You Like Him, Dont You?

  Rich husband is so cute

  Upon hearing Gu Junxiu's question, Qin Nian Ge hastily shook her head and replied with a lowered head: "No... sorry, Junxiu ge, I have an exam coming up soon and my review tasks are quite heavy."

  Gu Xiu originally didn't think she would agree, and of course wouldn't really feel disappointed.

  However, he looked at Lie Xueyi beside him and chuckled softly: "Well, that's indeed a bit regrettable. I can only trouble Xueyi to find someone else for me."

  Upon hearing Qin Nian's clear rejection, Li Xue's face finally looked a little better.

  But his eyes looking at Gu Junxiu had a few more points of apprehension: "Don't worry, I will arrange for you a beautiful and sensible one, she is not suitable."

  Li Xue's original intention was that Qin Nian Ge wasn't suitable for socializing at the banquet, but Gu Junxiu deliberately misinterpreted it as something else.

  He deliberately got closer to Qin Nian Ge, smiling and asking in return: "Isn't she suitable for me? I think we two standing together should feel pretty good."

  His gaze shot back at him like icy cold water, his voice seeming to have just condensed from the ice cubes in his cup: "Your feeling is wrong."

  Gu Junxiu met his icy gaze and suddenly realized that the two of them had actually clashed again in front of Qin Nianqiu.

  If he were true to his usual character, even if he had really noticed something was off between Li Xue and Qin Nian Ge, he definitely wouldn't have interfered excessively.

  He is indeed somewhat unusual today.

  Gu Junxiu subtly furrowed his brow and turned to glance at Qin Nianqiu beside him.

  She still hunched over with her head down, holding a glass of lemonade in both hands, looking tense and at a loss.

  In the past, he would never have given a timid girl like her a second glance.

  But for some reason, he actually became so abnormal for her today.

  Gu Junxiu's lips curled up in a smile, but it was unclear whether he was mocking himself.

  He picked up his wine cup again, took a light sip, and then raised it to Lian Yiwu: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you."

  Lian Ying's expression remained icy as she stared at him. After a long while, she finally responded with a low "uh-huh" to indicate her agreement.

  But his reaction made Gu Jun's heart feel a sense of unease.

  Gu Junxiu's mind involuntarily flashed back to the photo he had picked up from the ground that morning when he coincidentally ran into Qin Nianqiao.

  The photo shows Liang Yi tightly embracing Qin Nian in his arms, with their lips lightly touching each other. Under the dim light, this action is full of tenderness.

  And most importantly, Li Xue's gaze at Qin Nian Ge was a deep affection he had never seen before.

  In the past few years, Gu Junxiu had experienced many big and small confessions of love, and even dated a few girlfriends, but he had never truly understood what it meant to be serious about a woman.

  But Li Xue's eyes in that photo seemed to make him understand what it would be like for a man to put a woman in his heart.

  Although he had heard Liang Yi say more than once that Qin Nian Ge was just a plaything, the facts Gu Jun Xiu saw seemed to be constantly refuting his words.

  Did he really treat Qin Nian Ge as a plaything?

  Even the most beloved toy of childhood can't possibly receive the same loving and devoted gaze from its owner.

  Gu Junxiu's gaze involuntarily turned to Qin Niange beside him.

  What's so special about her that made Lei Ying, who never trusted love, fall into it unknowingly?

  Due to these unpleasant little details, a few people didn't stay in the private room for too long. Before long, going home was already on the agenda.

  As soon as it was mentioned that they were going back, Liang Yiweng naturally thought of walking to Qin Niange's side.

  Su Zhiwei saw through his intentions and hastily walked to his side, holding onto his arm and coquettishly opening her mouth: "Yu Yi, after sending me back later, just stay at my place directly, okay?"

  Hearing her words, Li Yifei subconsciously furrowed his brow, wanting to refuse.

  But Gu Junxiu had already smiled and spoken up beside him: "Then I'll send Nian Ge back."

  Lethal Wing turned his head, his eyes cold: "No need, she'll come with me."

  Su Zhiwei's mouth suddenly pouted: "Let Junxiu send her back, it's not a big deal, isn't it on the way?"

  Gu Junxiu chimed in again, "Yeah, anyway, I'm on the way, besides, you didn't want me to send your girlfriend alone at night, did you? Or do you want Nian Ge to be a light bulb for both of you? Looking at you two being affectionate all the way, who can bear it?"

  When Qin Nian Ge heard Gu Junxiu's last half sentence, her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the intimate scenes of Li Xueyang and Su Zhiwei also involuntarily appeared in her mind.

  She really didn't want to just watch them go like this.

  Qin Nian softly bit her lip and whispered, "Wing Ge, you can just send Zhiwei Jie back, it's on the way anyway. I'll go back with Junxiu Ge."

  Lai Ruiyi probably didn't expect her to say that, and his expression was a mix of shock, anger, and astonishment.

  Just then, Su Zhiwei couldn't wait to lightly kiss his face: "Alright, don't worry, Junxiu will definitely send him back safely. Let's go!"

  As she spoke, Su Zhiwei pulled him towards the car that Xiao Di had already driven over.

  Li Xueyi didn't want Qin Niange and Gu Junxiu to be together, but the scene had already been set by the people present.

  Besides, Qin Nian Ge had already said that she would take Gu Jun Xi's car back, and because of his pride, he couldn't think of a reason to separate Qin Nian Ge from Gu Jun Xi for the time being.

  If Qin Nian Ge were here alone, he might have already lost his temper.

  But after Gu Junxiu's repeated provocations tonight, if he needs to lose his temper to get Qin Niang back, it seems to be an insult to him as well.

  In the midst of uncertainty, Su Zhiwei had already pulled him to the side of the car, while Qin Nian Ge had also followed Gu Junxiu and got into his car.

  The two had just gotten on the bus and closed the door when Gu Jun's smiling voice came over: "I thought you wouldn't dare disobey him and would go back with him."

  Qin Niange bit her lower lip tightly and looked out of the car window, just in time to see Li Xueyi get on the car with a furious expression, slamming the door shut with a bang.

  Indeed, after saying those words, she was also surprised by her own boldness.

  She never dared to disobey Lü Yīng's orders.

  But thinking that I would have to face Su Zhiwei and Li Xueyang's affectionate behavior all the way, being scolded for just a while seemed like no big deal.

  Qin Nian Ge withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and looked at her tightly clasped hands, softly saying: "Thank you."

  If Gu Junxiu wasn't here today, she really didn't know if she could make it back home safely.

  Gu Junxiu smiled slightly, inserted the key, started the car, grasped the steering wheel and slid into the lane before asking in a low tone: "If you're so afraid of him, why do you always stay by his side?"

  Qin Nian Ge was taken aback for a moment before realizing what he wanted to ask.

  Upon hearing this, Qin Nian Ge's face turned pale, before she slowly spoke up: "This...this was Uncle Lie and Mother's last wish before they passed away. I don't have any other relatives, that's why Uncle Lie would let Yu Xue Ge take care of me."

  The car was driving smoothly, and Gu Junxiu's long fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel. He finally asked again, "That... why did you let him treat you like that? Was it because you were afraid?"

  When they met in the morning, Gu Junxiu had only seen Qin Niange treasure that photo of them together once, so he naturally wouldn't be unaware of Qin Niange's feelings for Li Xiyue.

  But he still asked it out loud.

  Qin Nian Ge's face indeed turned a bit paler due to his pressing questions.

  She clenched her fingers tightly, her voice already starting to tremble slightly: "No... it's not that, this is what I owe him."

  "Owe him?" Gu Junxu repeated her words on the tip of his tongue before nodding suddenly, "You mean, help your mom pay off debt? Is that all?"

  Gu Junxiu is a good friend of Li Yifeng's, but to Qin Niange, he is just a stranger whom she has only met a few times.

  What's more, several times they met, it seemed like it was always when she was at her most disheveled and humiliated.

  How could such a stranger so unthinkingly ask such private questions one after another?

  Qin Nian Ge was already somewhat angry at this moment, tightly pursing her lips and refusing to answer.

  It seemed like Gu Junxiu wasn't waiting for her response either, and soon continued speaking: "Actually... you like him, don't you?"

  Qin Nian Ge's body shook violently and suddenly turned her head to look at him.

  "It's because I like him, so I'm willing to stay by his side and endure this unfair treatment, isn't that right?"

  Qin Nian Ge had already made preparations to bear the brunt of Li Xue's anger.

  Unexpectedly, Lai Ruo Ying's expression still contained a hint of anger, but surprisingly, he didn't vent it out on her.

  At least, he didn't immediately fire at her

  Lai Yue tightly grasped her hand, furrowed his brow and walked in large strides towards the main building without saying a word.

  Qin Nian Ge stumbled along behind him, not even daring to breathe loudly.

  This situation of Lianyungang is somewhat abnormal.

  It can be said that although he was terrifying when enraged, it didn't compare to the fear inspired by his current silence.

  Like a volcano still in its dormant period, it is unknown when it will erupt and cause countless deaths and injuries.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as he walked upstairs and entered Qin Nian Ge's bedroom, he slammed the door shut.

  Bang!

  A loud bang.

  Qin Nian Ge's heart skipped a few beats with intense trembling.

  Unfortunately, she didn't even have time to feel afraid before being grabbed by Lie Wu's hand on her shoulder.

  She didn't understand how Lai Yue could suddenly become so scary and for a moment she couldn't help but almost cry.

  "Brother Wing..."

  She involuntarily let out a low cry.
