CH 39

The next day everyone went to work normally, and Gu Yingjie came home for dinner in the evening as promised. Mrs. Gu was still angry, and when she saw her son willing to come home, she said, “Oh, you’ve given up on your girlfriend?” Gu Yingjie had no choice but to buy gifts to coax her. In order to please his mother and increase the score for Qin Yufei, he went home for a few days.

In this way, the time for dating with Qin Yufei is very limited. Qin Yufei felt a lot of pressure, not because they could not date, because she had asked around and heard that Mrs. Gu really likes that kind of gentle girl. Previously, she had liked a wealthy girl, and specially arranged Gu Yingjie and the other party for a blind date, but Gu Yingjie did not take a fancy. That wealthy girl is gentle and generous, has excellent cooking skills, and the type that will take care of things at home.

And those girls that Gu Yingjie was dating before, Mrs. Gu also heard about it. She did not like them, so she did not ask Gu Yingjie to bring them home. She is not too anxious about her youngest son’s marriage, and always feels that he is still young and has plenty of time. So the two of them didn’t have a conflict in choosing a suitable partner. Gu Yingjie played with his own, and Mrs. Gu cared little about him. Gu Yingjie knows that his mother’s requirements are high, and he really doesn’t have deep feelings for his girlfriend, and probably because of Mrs. Gu’s attitude, so he didn’t bring her home.

Qin Yufei had a headache. The previous girlfriend of Gu Yingjie was so much more gentle and lovely than her. With her reputation, Mrs. Gu probably won’t be pleased with her. No wonder, her mother was acquainted with Mrs. Gu, but when Xu Wenzheng’s grandson had a full moon reception last time, Xu Wenzheng dragged her into a matchmaking with the Gu family, but in the end, Mrs. Gu didn’t pursue her match with Gu Yingjie.

She had never thought about this aspect before, but now, once she thought about it, she knew she was not Mrs. Gu’s ideal type of daughter-in-law.

Qin Yufei told this concern to Gu Yingjie, who reassured her: “Don’t think too much, my mother is sharp-tongue but tofu-hearted. Last time she lost her temper because she insisted I stay at home after I was discharged from the hospital, but I snuck out. She was angry about this, and I didn’t answer my phone that day, so she came to my door and got a hold of me, so she scolded me.”

“That’s a different thing.” Qin Yufei said, “She is angry at you and dislikes my kind of type are two different things.”

“Okay, so what do you want?” Gu Yingjie asked, lazing on the bed in his bedroom in the Gu family mansion, so bored, so desperate to go on a date. It was really a cruel thing to let a man who was in love with his girlfriend stay at home and rest obediently. But in order to keep his mother from being angry with his darling girlfriend, he would put up with it for a few days.

“What else can I do? Think of ways to please her.” Qin Yufei sighed, “Gu Yingjie ah, I tell you oh, I really work hard. You must be good to me for a long time.”

“Hmm, otherwise you will break my legs?”

“Yeah.”

Gu Yingjie laughed and added, “Baby, who’s in charge of your family, your dad or your mom?”

“My dad.”

“Then if I’m not as good as Qiu Zhengqing, will your dad agree to our relationship?”

“Why?”

“It’s just that I feel more pressure.” Gu Yingjie told the truth. He has the intention to perform in front of Qin Wenyi, but with his age and qualifications, although the current work is quite good but he also knows that to impress people, his capabilities are not enough. He regretted that in previous years he did not have high requirements for himself at work, the resources, connections and experience are not enough. Now Qin Wenyi has Xu Wenzheng as the veteran and Qiu Zhengqing as the younger generation. He has seen all the talents, if put him up to a comparison, he has no advantage at all. Besides, he was neither worried about power nor money, so his name as Third Young Master Gu was nothing in Qin Wenyi’s eyes.

“So you just made yourself so busy that you got sick?”

“Getting sick was a coincidence. But if I couldn’t solve that project of yours in Yongkai during that time, I would really be a little tasteless.” That would have to be a big disgrace in front of Qin Wenyi.

“Oh, then you continue to work hard.”

“Baby, shouldn’t you encourage me at a time like this and comfort me a little?”

“What comfort. This way, I have much more mental balance.”

“You heartless woman.” He complained.

She laughed.

He added, “You should praise me for being younger than Qiu Zhengqing, more handsome than Qiu Zhengqing, and richer than Qiu Zhengqing, so your father must like me more.”

Qin Yufei laughed out loud, “So you’re a superficial, rich, handsome man?”

“Yes, I was the most suitable match for a superficial white, rich beauty.”

Qin Yufei laughed again. “What if I become a gentle and virtuous lady?”

“Hey.” Gu Yingjie unhappy.

Qin Yufei laughed and was quiet for a while after she finished laughing. “Gu Yingjie, do you think we can be together for five years?”

“You’re asking so little?”

“How about ten years?”

“I don’t want to care about you.”

“Don’t set your goals too high so that the chances of achieving them will be higher. We can get to ten years and then set the next goal.”

“Okay, then the first five-year goal is to get married, and the second five-year goal is for our child to go to kindergarten.”

Qin Yufei heard the word child and touched her belly, and felt some vague pain again. “My goal is, ten years, we still love each other, no third party, not hate each other.”

“Okay.”

“Then I’ll start learning to cook with the family chef tomorrow.”

“What?” How did you go from the illusory and naïve topic of love goals to the realistic cooking of rice, oil, and salt?

“I already said, I will become a gentle and virtuous lady, I can get into the kitchen and out of from the hall, cooking is just one skill of a lady. But you don’t expect me to cook for you all the time. I learned it just to score extra points in front of the parents.”

“Well, it’s fine if you can cook noodles. I love your noodles, with luncheon meat and eggs.”

“Hmph.” Qin Yufei thought of what happened to that pot of noodles last time. And being criticized for not being considerate and not taking care of the golden Young Master Gu.

“I can bake bread and cake. I will bake it for you next time.”

“No need, you just kick the surrounding ladies a little further and I’ll be satisfied.”

“I only have you in my heart.”

“So mushy.”

“Hey, hurry and say you love to hear it.”

“No.”

“Then say you only have me in your heart.”

“Haha.”

“Hey!”

“ So?”

“No, I’m quite content. At least Missy didn’t ‘huh’.”

“Well, good boy.”

Gu Yingjie sighed, “I feel like my male dignity has been hit hard.”

Qin Yufei laughed out loud.

The two fools said boring words for more than an hour. They only finished when their eyelids couldn’t hold up.

Gu Yingjie did not tell the truth. Actually, his male dignity did not hurt. Being coaxed by his queen, he was incredibly happy. Any other woman doing this might make a man uncomfortable, but he just felt that it was appropriate for his fierce woman to say this, to be imposing and sweet. She was actually willing to learn to be a gentle and virtuous lady in order to please his mother. Gu Yingjie felt he was spoiled, and he was satisfied.

But Gu Yingjie didn’t expect that a week later, he would “misbehave” to her.

That day, Mrs. Gu said she had a social gathering, and dragging her daughter Gu Yingci and son Gu Yingjie as company. Gu Yingjie called Qin Yufei to report his schedule and said that he had intended to take Qin Yufei to see a movie on this day, a new film had been released.

“It’s okay, we can go another day. I don’t have time tonight either. My dad has an old friend who is returning to China, and he’s taking my mom and me to a gathering.”

“What a coincidence?”

“Yeah.”

“This is good, at least it all comes together for one day and doesn’t have to take up two days of our time.” Gu Yingjie said so.

It turned out that he felt that this was not good at all. The reason is that he did not expect that what his mother had arranged was a blind date in disguise. It is nominally not called a blind date; it is called to get to know each other and make friends, but actually the younger generation understands all the intentions of their elders.

The good news is that Qin Yufei’s family’s social gathering is also in the same restaurant. The room that his family booked is exactly the diagonal corner of Qin Yufei’s room. When his mother enthusiastically praised her best friend’s gentle and beautiful daughter, Qin Yufei passed by the door of the room while holding her mother’s hand, and the door of the room was not closed.

So they met. The two families politely exchanged a few words, each with their own guests to entertain, so after a brief introduction, they went into their respective boxes.

Gu Yingjie is restless. He thought about his family’s jealous king. Would Miss Bullhorn think much of it? He reassured himself that it should be fine. After all, this event he had reported to her, the two family’s dinner. It’s normal there are sons and daughters, as long as they do not become a blind date. After eating, they will go their own way, and they will not see each other again.

Not long after, a text message came to his phone. Looking down, it was Qin Yufei. The text message content is very simple, only two words: “huh.”

Gu Yingjie’s face blackened. Is this the beginning of the punishment? He hurriedly replied, “You misunderstand. This is a pure dinner party.”

Qin Yufei also replied quickly. “Then I didn’t misunderstand. I also think it’s a pure dinner party.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Gu Yingjie replied.

Qin Yufei sent another one a while later: “That girl is quite beautiful, looks like a very virtuous and caring lady, good temper and excellent cooking skills.”

Gu Yingjie really lost to her, only to reply again: “I do not know her, not familiar at all.” Hurry to clear the relationship. He has no relationship with this girl.

“It’s okay, soon you will be familiar.”

“I am innocent.” After sent this sentence, there was no reply for a long time.

Mrs. Gu has looked at her son several times, trying to bring him into the conversation. Gu Yingjie pretended to cope with a few sentences, but his heart was secretly anxious. What does it mean when she doesn’t reply?

The phone finally sounded a text message after a while, Gu Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief and looked down, the text message read: “Auntie is really open-minded, knowing that you have a girlfriend but still give you a woman, this is completely do not mind the son hugging the right and left, right? Tell her that your girlfriend is ferocious. If you dare to cheat, she’ll beat you to death.”

Gu Yingjie took a lot of effort to stabilize his facial expression. His family’s fierce woman is becoming more and more fierce.

“Then I will really say it.”

Qin Yufei looked at the message. “Say it.” She replied. She really did not believe that he dared to say it. Provoked her, who is afraid!
