Gu Nianjia was looking forward to Lin Yiqianâs reaction.
Meanwhile, Lin Yiqian pretended to consider her question for a moment before nodding. âI think I might have recalled something.â
Of course, Lin Yiqian recalled who Gu Nianjia was. Otherwise, Gu Nianjia would not have been picked.
Gu Nianjia could not believe that her goddess remembered her. âIâm feeling overwhelmed. I would never have dreamed that I could be so close to you, my goddess.â Gu Nianjia chuckled as she looked at Lin Yiqian, blankly.
Gu Nianjia wished she could see her goddessâs face behind the mask.
As Gu Nianshen looked at Gu Nianjia dumbly, he almost thought that this could not possibly be his biological sister.
Without saying a word, Gu Nianshen circled around Gu Nianjia and walked away.
âThis is my brother. Isnât he handsome?â Gu Nianjia suddenly grabbed Gu Nianshenâs arm and pulled him closer to Lin Yiqian.
âYes, he is,â Lin Yiqian replied with a nod after glancing at Gu Nianshenâs face.
She would not have fallen for him if he was not.
âAhh.â Gu Nianjia sighed. âUnfortunately, my brother is already married. If he werenât, I would have introduced him to you.â
It was such a shame that Gu Nianjia had missed the opportunity to make her goddess her sister-in-law.
Lin Yiqian felt speechless.
She should not have protected this traitor.
However, Lin Yiqian was curious about how Gu Nianshen would respond to what Gu Nianjia had said.
As she thought of this, she raised her gaze to Gu Nianshen. Right then, she could see that he was frowning in disgust.
Did he have to be this obvious?
âI have higher requirements.â Lin Yiqian frowned unhappily as she replied.
In other words, Lin Yiqian was saying that Gu Nianshen was not good enough for her.
However, Gu Nianjia did not seem upset at all. âItâs alright. I have another uncle who is just as handsome. In fact, heâs much better than my brother with a milder temper. If we get to meet again, I will definitely bring my uncle along.â
Gu Nianshen was trying his best not to grab Gu Nianjia by her ear.
As he flicked Gu Nianjiaâs hand away, he hurriedly walked away from Lin Yiqian and Gu Nianjia without uttering a single word.
StillâŚ
Gu Nianjia was worried about how Lin Yiqian would feel. âGoddess, donât mind him. My brother feels uncomfortable whenever my uncle is mentioned as he cares too much about my sister-in-law and my uncleâs past.
As soon as Song Changlin was mentioned, Gu Nianjiaâs eyes lit up.
She seemed to respect the man a lot.
âHe⌠Why would he care about your sister-in-law and your uncleâs past?â
Clearly, Gu Nianjia did not like Lin Yiqian. Why would he care about his past?
Or was it because he felt disgusted by the fact that Lin Yiqian used to date his uncle?
âI donât know either. My brother used to dislike my sister-in-law a lot. However, I feel that he doesnât dislike her anymore.â Gu Nianjia shook her head with a pout.
Lin Yiqian tried to regain the focus of her mind as she looked at Gu Nianjia.
âHe doesnât dislike her anymore?â Lin Yiqian thought.
How did Gu Nianjia infer that?
âHe has actually bought a lot of purses for my sister-in-law, and even wore matching couple outfits with her. He has never done this for any other woman. He might have been charmed by my sister-in-law. After all, she was admired by a lot of people back in school. With her looks, any guy would have fallen for her.â
This must have been the reason.
âHas he never had another girlfriend? How could he not have given anyone else gifts?â Lin Yiqian asked.
Did he not even buy things for Xi Xia?
In other words, Lin Yiqian wondered if Gu Nianshen had ever bought anything for Xi Xia in the five years when she was not around.
