Chapter 428: Chapter 198: Couple’s Number

"Eh~~~"

Huang Mengting and the others let out a series of strange sighs, which sounded like disdain, but they all laughed as if they were aunts, their eyes slyly watching Gu Jiuyue act coquettishly.

But Ding Yi’s smile suddenly became very forced.

I was the first to like Su Huai...

She thought, why are fate’s connections in this world so ruthless?

The person who likes me, I don’t like; the person I like doesn’t like me. I want to bless them yet I can’t help feeling bitter, and even their happy smiles seem blinding...

Then she thought, but they really are a perfect match! A talented man and a beautiful woman, they have an innate understanding of each other; how regrettable it would be if they weren’t together?

So she silently got up, made room, and called Su Huai over, "Class leader, come sit here, Yueyue has been sneaking glances at you quite a few times."

"Not at all!"

Gu Jiuyue corrected in a whining tone, "I just wanted to know what he was discussing with Dad, I only looked three times!"

Falling ill, Little Gu was clearly more vulnerable than usual, her outer shell had cracked, revealing her soft insides, and her usually dismissive attitude had turned into panicked shyness.

Su Huai thought that she looked even prettier at this moment.

Like a fairy descending to earth, less of the cool ethereal air, more of the fragile beauty.

"Okay, thank you."

Su Huai said with a smile as he walked over to the sofa, and after sitting down, naturally took Gu Jiuyue’s hand and nodded in confirmation, "It is indeed a bit cool, your circulation is too weak, have you been eating properly?"

"Wow..."

"You two..."

"Mother of god! I’m gonna die of sweetness!"

Amidst the girls’ squeals and laughter, Gu Jiuyue and Su Huai’s hands quickly parted after the brief touch.

She belatedly felt a little embarrassed.

"Of course, I’ve been eating on time, porridge and soup, but after the drip, it always feels cold," she explained, and to prove her point, or perhaps to cover up, she lifted her hand to show everyone her back hand, "I’ve been pricked eight times in three days, and I have another shot tonight, it’s so annoying!"

The girls were all sympathetic and tried to comfort her, but it was not very effective.

Little Gu wasn’t originally afraid of needles, she was merely acting coquettish towards Su Huai, as his comfort was the only thing that mattered to her.

But Puppy, usually eloquent, was unusually quiet today, merely looking at her encouragingly, with a light but warm smile on his face.

At first, Gu Jiuyue looked toward him frequently. Later, after realizing something, she happily started chatting with everyone.

And then, Su Huai’s presence faded away.

In the brilliant sunlight, the golden boy and jade girl sat very close together, yet one was lively and the other peaceful, the warm sunshine seeming to pour entirely on Gu Jiuyue.

Consequently, her mood improved significantly, and her spirits lifted greatly.

Initially, everyone was a bit restrained, worried about this and that, but after Su Huai took his seat, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious and lively.

The conversation ranged far and wide, expressing the youth of their 18 years.

It was not until the servant brought a cart with exquisite afternoon tea, and the girls excitedly moved to the dining table in the warm room, that Gu Jiuyue turned her head to look at Su Huai.

"You’re so quiet today, huh?"

The little fairy’s eyes seemed misty. To describe it as ’with longing eyes’ was not quite accurate, but anyone who saw her expression could feel that genuine joy coming from deep within her heart.

Su Huai’s quiet company had given her a sense of peace she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Su Huai shrugged. "Yu Hua once said, ’When people interact, it’s better to talk less, to restrain the urge to express oneself, to be calm and gentle, neither inferior nor boastful.’"

He didn’t provide context, but I feel he was talking about social situations. Just so happens, today everyone is here for you," he said.

The first part was theory; the latter part was the reason.

Gu Jiuyue got the deepest emotion behind his words and grinned stupidly.

"Huaihuai, how can you be so good!"

Sweet nothings don’t always have to be sweet talk; any words filled with sincere emotion can be sweet nothings.

And since everyone receives and understands such emotions at different levels, the feelings they derive from them also differ. Without a doubt, Gu Jiuyue was thinking deeply.

Puppy felt undeserving of such praise, so he smiled mischievously and shook his head, "Don’t say that, I just managed to make your dad nearly blow his top."

"That’s okay."

Without a second thought, Little Cotton-padded Jacket was biased, blurting out, "He’s an adult; he should be indulgent towards you."

Gu Tongshu: ...

With a smack, Gu, sitting in his study, threw down his earphones and started pacing in circles.

He didn’t want to look at the surveillance footage anymore, yet he couldn’t help glancing at it, turning a circle and sneaking a peek each time; the more he saw that Puppy, the angrier he became.

I’ve already agreed to do you a favor, and yet you’re still trying to curry favor with my daughter?!

Are you even human?!!!

After spinning around seven or eight times, Gu laughed with frustration.

Clever boy, you had a slight unhappiness with me, and you immediately made your case with Yueyue; you’re quite cautious, aren’t you?!

Let’s see how cautious you can be!

Gu Tongshu took out his phone, scrolled up and down without finding what he was looking for, picked up his work phone, finally found the number, and dialed it straight away.

It took him a long time to find the number, but the person on the other end answered in just a few seconds.

"This is Si Bohan, may I speak with Mr. Gu?"

"This is Gu Tongshu; hello Mr. Si."

Si Bohan immediately switched from English to Chinese, not fluent and with a strange accent, but he made his point very clear.

"Mr. Gu, hello hello, I am honored to receive your call! Is there anything I can do for you? That would be wonderful!"

Gu Tongshu courteously explained the situation, considering the other person was French, so he didn’t beat around the bush.
