Chapter 445: 445 Gu Qihan’s Little Secret_1

Gu Qihan gently bit her lip, her hands tightly clutching the basket, "Okay, I get it now."

She quietly glanced at Xu Boyan and then, with a clutching heart, she turned and left; her retreating figure exuding a sense of loneliness.

Xu Boyan was too cold, Gu Qihan felt a grievance in her heart. Even the normally playful her had her moments of fragility.

"Oh, what’s wrong with Xiaohan?"

Gu Xiang emerged from the house carrying a few scissors, and gave quite a jump on seeing Gu Qihan’s face, full of grievance.

Just moments ago, everything seemed fine; she stepped away to fetch the scissors and suddenly something happened?

"Ah, I’m fine Auntie, just a bit tired. I want to sleep."

Gu Qihan passed the basket in her hand to Gu Xiang and silently retreated to her own room.

Since Gu Qihan often visited Xu Mansion, Gu Xiang kept a room for her. Every time she visited, she stayed in that room.

Originally, they planned to pick grapes, and it would have been more appropriate to use scissors for a whole bunch of them.

"Mmm, get some rest."

Gu Xiang tenderly patted Gu Qihan’s shoulder, comforting her.

Even though Gu Qihan didn’t say anything, Gu Xiang had a vague inkling of what was going on.

"Yiyi, come and pick some grapes. I’ve grown quite a few in the backyard."

Seeing Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi, Gu Xiang refrained from talking about Gu Qihan and with a beaming face, called out to Lu Qingyi.

"Okay."

Lu Qingyi agreed without hesitation.

"Mother, it’s time to pay off the debts."

As Xu Boyan held Lu Qingyi’s hand, he looked at Gu Xiang and said these words, giving a meaningful look.

His expression was dull, and his eyes deep, displaying no signs of disturbance.

"I quite like her."

Gu Xiang gave a light smile and looked at Xu Boyan as she said this, her tone sincere and earnest.

"She is she, and they are them."

Xu Boyan took a deep look at Gu Xiang and head to the vineyard with Lu Qingyi.

Gu Xiang stood frozen for a while, then hurriedly followed Xu Boyan’s steps.

Lu Qingyi could sense a story within Xu Boyan’s words, but she did not ask anything.

"Very sweet."

Xu Boyan picked a grape and peeled it before placing it near Lu Qingyi’s lips.

Gu Xiang’s grapes were juicy and sweet.

Lu Qingyi also had a fondness for grapes.

"Hmm, quite sweet."

Lu Qingyi gave Xu Boyan a faint smile, her smile especially sweet.

Sweet, it touched the heartstrings.

Gu Xiang saw the two young people getting along well and gave a contented smile.

As long as the two young ones were happy, she would be satisfied.

Gu Qihan entered her room, closed the door, and slowly crouched, wrapping her arms around herself, burying her head between her knees.

Her face displayed a hint of sadness.

She felt really upset. Deep in her heart, there was a secret, a secret she could never reveal to anyone.

She liked Xu Boyan.

She liked the always cold-faced Xu Boyan, who never once smiled at her. This secret, she kept buried in her heart.

Gu Qihan knew that a relationship with Xu Boyan was impossible, impossible in this lifetime.

But, she still couldn’t help but secretly hold onto her feelings, even getting lost in thought and feeling fluttery.

The truth between her and Xu Boyan was that they didn’t have any blood relation, but everyone believed that she was Xu Boyan’s dear cousin.

Gu Qihan slowly got up, opened the window facing the vineyard. Looking at Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi, who were softly talking, her eyes dimmed.

She gently closed the window, threw herself onto the bed, and softly closed her eyes.

——

It had been a long time since Lu Qingyi last gathered with her gang of high school buddies. She was seated in a restaurant, one leg draped over a chair while the other curled up.

"Miss, can we serve the dishes now?"

The waitress came over for the nth time, her face betraying a professional smile as she politely inquired.

Lu Qingyi had already ordered the dishes but was waiting for Jiang Yumeng, Xun Hanyu, and Luo Jia to arrive before letting the waitress serve them.

"Waiting for people."

Lu Qingyi lazily looked up, her phone thumping on the table, the tone slightly cold.

The other three were stuck in traffic and had not yet arrived. Lu Qingyi, being nearby, had arrived much earlier.

"Alright, call me when you’re ready for the dishes."

The waitress withdrew politely, her demeanor friendly.

Clad in boredom, Lu Qingyi flipped her phone over and over in her hand.

"Qingyi, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

Jiang Yumeng hurried in, panting. She turned to Lu Qingyi, who sat in her seat like a boss, and apologized.

The feeling of being late was terrible. She had run directly over, afraid that Lu Qingyi would have been waiting a long time.

"No."

Lu Qingyi lazily looked up; in reality, she hadn’t been waiting very long.

"Haven’t they arrived yet?"

Jiang Yumeng glanced around and asked.

She had been stuck in traffic and, for some reason, it was now during peak traffic time. She had still run directly over.

"No, waiter, serve the food."

She placed her phone on the table and spoke to the waiter.

"I’ve ordered all the special dishes here. You can order whatever else you want."

Lu Qingyi nudged the menu towards Jiang Yumeng, speaking slowly.

For a gathering of four, Lu Qingyi didn’t choose a high-end restaurant, but rather, a fairly affordable one.

"Ah, no, it’s enough."

Jiang Yumeng glanced at the menu and shook her head, deciding not to order anything else. The restaurant had a variety of signature dishes, and since Lu Qingyi had ordered them, there was no need for her to order more.

It was enough food. Although Lu Qingyi was rich, Jiang Yumeng didn’t want to spend too much.

"Mm."

Lu Qingyi didn’t say much else.

"Qingyi, sorry to have kept you waiting, really sorry."

"Qingyi, sorry for keeping you waiting, we got stuck in a traffic jam."

Xun Hanyu and Luo Jia walked into the restaurant simultaneously, both apologizing profusely.

Lu Qingyi wasn’t known for her patience, and they were truly afraid she would get angry. They too had run straight over.

They had conveniently been on the same route, so they had come together.

Jiang Yumeng raised her eyes towards Xun Hanyu and Luo Jia, who entered one after the other, then lowered them, concealing the indifference in her eyes.

"Sit."

Lu Qingyi’s words were terse. She lifted her chin towards the seats opposite her, and slowly spoke.

"Qingyi, you’re not angry, are you?"

Luo Jia peeked at Lu Qingyi and slowly asked.

Lu Qingyi: "No."

"Mengmeng, you must have been waiting a while too, I’m really sorry."

Luo Jia gave Jiang Yumeng a hug and spoke softly.

"Yumeng, long time no see."

Xun Hanyu greeted Jiang Yumeng, his expression cool.

They really hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Since the last time they parted, a considerable amount of time had passed. That time seemed to be the last meeting they had in these recent days.
