Jing Tian noticed my confused expression and said seriously, âIf Gao Jing and Gao Da met the love of their lives one day and wanted to leave to return to their families, will you let them go?â
âOf course,â I said without hesitation.
Jing Tian nodded, âItâs the same principle. Do you get it now?â
I nodded. I supposed I did understand it better.
âBut how am I supposed to send Lu Yan to Gu Nianâs side without Ye Qian noticing?â
Jing Tian patted my shoulder. âHave Lu Yan land herself around Gu Nian, or have Gu Nian discover Lu Yan himself!â
I immediately sat up straight and snapped my fingers. I pulled Jing Tianâs face over and kissed him. âYouâre so smart!â
Jing Tian was stunned for a moment before breaking into laughter.
It would be hard for Lu Yan to land herself around Gu Nian but for Gu Nian to discover Lu Yanâ¦
I arranged for dinner with my three sisters at a Cantonese restaurant. Gu Nian loved Cantonese food, and it was not that difficult to track his movement.
Therefore, we âaccidentallyâ bumped into Gu Nian at the restaurant.
We greeted each other, and Gu Nian sat to join us. He was very impressed by Lu Yanâs talent. He signed Lu Yan to be his temporary assistant. To thank us, Gu Nian paid the bill for us. I had killed two birds with one stone!
Once we returned home, we were immediately invited to Jing Tianâs home by Auntie Lan.
When we arrived, she rebuked, âGirls, are you already impatient from accompanying Bai Rui and me for a few days? We canât even find you anymore. In the future, donât sleep in the dorm anymore. We will prepare a special car and driver for you. Youâll come home to have dinner and sleep every day. This way, you can accompany us two lonely seniors!â
Auntie Bai Rui smiled as she sat to the side and listened. Auntie Bai Rui was an easy-going person. So when she encountered Auntie Lan, who would make all the decisions, Auntie Bai Rui was quite happy.
I laughed, âAuntie Lan, youâre not that lonely now.â
Auntie Lan rolled her eyes at me. âOf course, weâre lonely. We need young peopleâs vitality around here.â
Well, I had nothing to counter that.
I didnât think there was anyone who could win Auntie Lan in a negotiation. Her words could move even stone.
Thankfully, Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui shared a passion in cooking. They came up with more tasty dishes.
Mai Qi ate until she was full. She sighed. âAuntie Lan, coming over is not a problem but Iâm afraid Iâll be so round after two months that you canât tell Iâm a human anymore.â
Auntie Lanâs eyes were full of smiles. She told Mai Qi. âWhy are you afraid of that? Just eat. When youâre free, get Tong Le to be your coach. Have him prepare a set of work out for you. This is perfect. We will serve you healthy food, and itâll help with your training and exercise. A girl has to take good care of herself from inside out.â
The three of us looked at each other.?Is the lecture about to start?
Auntie Lan continued to pile on the praise. âTong Le is a wonderful man with a generous heart. He must be faithful in a relationship. Mai Qi, why donât you consider being his girlfriend?â
âPfft!â Mai Qi choked on her soup, and she coughed non-stop.
Jing Ni and I chose to watch the show.
I have to say, Auntie Lanâs eyes were really sharp.
Under the table, I gave Auntie Lan a thumbs up. Auntie Lan was inspired and she pressed onward.
While Auntie Bai Rui passed Mai Qi some tissues and water, Auntie Lan initiated her promoter mode. She praised Tong Le to the point where one would think he was the best man on Earth.
âMai Qi, all the best. Auntie Lan will be cheering you on!â
