Chapter 157 - Entertainment

Yu Bao’er only said that she had a good impression of her older brother. Towards who she liked, she never concealed her feelings.

It was evident from the way she moved on from Doctor Nan so quickly.

But Gu Qingjiu had to let her give up on this thought too, lest Yu Bao’er sink deeper.

“Okay, Bao’er, go and ask your friends. But we need to bring Xiaoxi back first.”

Yu Bao’er nodded, and she said, “Okay, then we’ll wait for you guys here.”

Gu Qingmo suddenly told Yao Yanshen to carry Gu Xiaoxi, and he said, “No need. You can wait with your friend for us here. When we’ve arrived, I will call you.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded without hesitation. “Alright, then you guys bring Xiaoxi back.”

The minute Gu Xiaoxi heard she was about to be brought back, her eyes turned watery as she gazed at Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu felt heartache for her, but they had no choice.

She could only watch as her brother and cousin carried Gu Xiaoxi away.

Yu Bao’er felt some sympathy towards Gu Xiaoxi, too. But at that moment, she had more pressing matters.

After Gu Qingmo and his cousins left, she pulled Gu Qingjiu towards where her friends were. She sneakily asked, “Qingjiu, does your brother have a girlfriend?”

Gu Qingjiu had seen this question coming.

She glanced at her, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. “Drop the idea. My brother already has a girlfriend in the capital.”

Yu Bao’er’s excitement was instantly extinguished.

She looked deflated.

“The heavens are unfair to me! I wanted to become your sister-in-law!”

It was the least of her expectations that her ideas would be crushed so quickly.

Although Yu Bao’er was lacking a little in morals, if she knew the other party already had a girlfriend, she absolutely wouldn’t lay a finger on him.

If she met someone she liked and was single, it was her own business to woo that person.

But it was clear she had to pass Gu Qingmo over.

Seeing Yu Bao’er’s sad and angered expression, Gu Qingjiu nearly burst out laughing.

She wanted to drag her cousin into this, but considering she had no idea if he already had a girlfriend, it would be terrible if she made a blunder. Hence, she wisely chose not to say anything.

Yu Bao’er led Gu Qingjiu to her friends and introduced her to them.

It turned out this group of people was all Yu Bao’er’s relatives.

They were guests at Yu Bao’er’s house that day.

The adults had gone to seek their own entertainment; hence, the youngsters had to find some way to have fun themselves.

Knowing they were heading to the KTV, these youngsters agreed and looked excited.

Looking at their reaction, they clearly frequented such places.

Gu Qingjiu only knew Yu Bao’er; hence, she didn’t much speak to the rest.

She quietly sat down and waited for Gu Qingmo’s call, chatting sporadically with Yu Bao’er in the meantime.

Shortly after, Gu Qingmo’s call came.

Although it was true that she felt a little awkward around Yu Bao’er’s relatives, her own personality also had something to do with it.

She hoped that when they arrived at the KTV, Gu Qingmo would be able to chat a word or two with them.

Gu Qingmo asked Gu Qingjiu to look for them at a hotel. It seemed as if there were plenty of people coming.

Yu Bao’er initially wanted to come along, but upon hearing that it was a hotel and that Gu Qingmo had his friends over, she decided not to tag along for dinner and told Gu Qingjiu they’ll meet up at the KTV after dinner.

There was nothing wrong with the suggestion, and Gu Qingjiu also didn’t feel it was a good idea to talk her into joining them since after all, Gu Qingmo’s classmates were around.

But they could meet up to have fun later on at night.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu agreed on the time she would meet with Yu Bao’er before leaving for the hotel.
