“Aiyo, what’s cooking here?”
An Xiulan heard her saviour’s voice and she looked at the door to see Gu Yanxi entering the kitchen.
“Uncle! Mom doesn’t love me anymore, ” An Xiulan complained.
“Yanyan, how could you not love our lovesick baby?” Gu Yanxi said in a very serious tone.
An Xiulan was about to nod her head in agreement when she realised what he just said. She looked at him in horror. Even he lied about loving her a lot.
“Hah! This cruel world. I’m going. I’m going, ” An Xiulan left the kitchen in anger.
“Where are you going?” Gu Yanxi asked in concern.
“To get attention, ” They heard her grumbling tone.
“Do not spoil her too much, ” An Qinyan said.
“What did I do?” Gu Yanxi asked in an innocent tone.
“You got her that limited edition lego set that she wanted last week, ” An Qinyan complained. “Every time I say no to her for something, she goes to you. You can’t say yes to all of her demands all the time.”
“Yes. Yes. You are right, “Gu Yanxi said as he hugged her waist. “I will not spoil her at all. I will not complain about how you allowed Shangyan to cultivate another tiring hobby.”
“Yanxi! He has talent in architecture, “An Qinyan said. “Let him participate in the contest. He found something that he likes apart from reading books. You should always be supportive of him. He is such a nice and sensible boy. He is always taking care of his siblings like a parent when we are not present.”
“He has no time for his uncle but he has time for all the things in the world, “Gu Yanxi grumbled.
“No more complaints about his hobbies. He gets to do what he wants, “An Qinyan announced the verdict. “Our company always cultivates such architectural programmes. I just helped him to join it. What’s the big deal about it? He passed the stages with his own calibre.”
“You like him but you don’t like me, “Gu Yanxi pouted. “I’m jealous.”
“You forty years old man child, grow up, “An Qinyan softly glared at him. “If I didn’t like you, why would I marry you?”
“You were drunk and I convinced you to be my wife when you refused to agree to be my girlfriend, “Gu Yanxi retorted. About how he and An Qinyan ended up getting married, was a different story. All people needed to know was that they were now married and very much in love.
“You always chose the wrong approach. What’s my fault?” An Qinyan shrugged.
“You are saying as if you had married me a long time ago if I had asked you to, “Gu Yanxi retorted. “No one loves me.”
“Where are you going?” An Qinyan asked, startled when she saw him leaving the kitchen. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards him. “Don’t be angry. I love you. I love you a lot.”
“Prove it, “Gu Yanxi retorted.
“How?” An Qinyan asked.
Gu Yanxi showed him his check.
An Qinyan blushed but she pecked his cheek before lowering her gaze. She was so shy at this time.
Gu Yanxi grinned like a hooligan when he raised her chin with his fingers. Looking at her sweet face, he whispered, “My Yanyan is so beautiful.” He lowered his head to kiss her lips when Gu Shangyan decided to enter the kitchen.
“I did not see a thing, “Gu Shangyan said, his hands on his eyes. “No, I’m blind. Yes, I’m blind. You can continue kissing. I’m leaving. No, I didn’t see a thing.”
An Qinyan shyly pushed her husband away who pulled her back into his arms.
“Don’t go inside the kitchen, “Gu Shangyan said as he pulled Lu Xuan with him.
“They are flirting again?” Lu Xuan whispered.
“Uhuh…”Gu Shangyan nodded his head.
“Let’s watch a movie, “Lu Xuan said as he wrapped his arm over his brother’s shoulder.
“No, “Gu Shangyan refused.
“My lord, Teeny and I will study with you for three hours if you watch a movie with us, “Lu Xuan begged. Everyone would ask him how on earth did he improve his grades? It was because of this brother of his who was so studious that he tainted all others with his studying power too.
“If you went back on your words…”Gu Shangyan narrowed his eyes at the boy.
“Then, I will clean the gaming for the week, “Lu Xuan joined his hands in prayer. They used to sneak out of their house to go to gaming cafes. One day, they were badly scolded by Gu Yanxi and An Qinyan.
But the next week, their parents surprised them by building a gaming room in their house. They moved to another house in the same area when An Qinyan and Gu Yanxi married. It was a huge house for their big family.
The children were given an entire floor of the huge mansion while the couple lived on another floor. Although it was a very big house, they didn’t feel as if it was too big for them.
“Are we calling Zixin for the movie?” Gu Shangyan asked as he pulled out his phone to text Han Zixin about the movie day. He even texted Wang Yuxi who would cry about snatching his best friend.
“Call him, “Lu Xuan scoffed. “The poor boy needs movie day a lot. After all, he is having a bad day. Call Mingze too or he will whine again.”
“Asshole, you just want drama by inviting both Mochi and Zixin, “Gu Shangyan muttered. Who didn’t know about An Xiulan’s huge crush on the idol? The verbal spat between the idol and possessive best friend was fun to watch.
“I will order popcorn, “Lu Xuan devilishly grinned. Then, he recalled that at this time Song Xueyun’s tutoring class ended. He was going to sit on Han Zixin’s gate until she agreed to watch a movie with them. Even if he had to use his twin to make Song Xueyun agree to watch the movie with all of them, he would.
After all, he was Lu Xuan and he got what he wanted.
