Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao said, "..."
Lu Yichen seemed to have come to his senses, his expression was a little embarrassed, he paused his hand, stepped back, and handed the paper to Mu Xiaoxiao like a gentleman.
"Uh, um, wipe it yourself, there's still some on your chin."
He gestured with his finger, not touching her at all.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yin Shaojie, as if he could smell the sour smell in the air.
Only Gu Pingyuan said with a smile on his face, "Actually, looking at it this way, Yichen and Xiaoxiao are quite a match. If there is a chance..."
Yin Shaojie didn't care about his elders anymore and looked at them coldly.
"Uncle Gu, Xiaoxiao is already engaged to me, what you said is inappropriate, right?"
Gu Pingyuan laughed and said, "Haha, I was just kidding, Shao Jie, you won't take it seriously, right? Don't be angry, what's yours is yours, no one else can take it away."
Another meaning of the latter sentence is probably: If you can take it away, it means it does not belong to you.
How could Yin Shaojie not understand what he meant.
He raised the corners of his lips very falsely and said, "How could I take it seriously? Xiaoxiao only has me in her heart. It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future. She can't hold anyone else in her heart. Xiaoxiao, are you right?"
His deep black eyes turned to Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao reacted quickly this time and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, of course!"
Yin Shaojie smiled with satisfaction, but his smile still looked fake.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly.
She didn't mean it, could he stop being so jealous
This guy asked her to come to Gu's house for dinner, thinking he had improved, but who knew he hadn't? Instead, he seemed to be getting more and more jealous.
After the meal, Mu Xiao was so snacked that she couldn’t even remember what it tasted like.
After working hard until the meal was over, she just wanted to leave. Thinking about what excuse to make, Gu Pingyuan greeted him to the living room.
The servant cut the fruit and placed it in front of everyone.
Gu Pingyuan greeted her enthusiastically, "Xiaoxiao, when it comes to fruit, you like strawberries the most, right? These strawberries are all freshly picked, you can try them."
"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Mu Xiaoxiao responded politely and looked at the strawberries on the plate. They were all the same size, bright and juicy, and looked delicious.
But she still had little appetite.
She was thinking, should she pretend that she was uncomfortable and then leave
No, no.
If she said she wasn't feeling well, the Gu family also had a family doctor. Gu Pingyuan would probably call the doctor over to see her. Wouldn't her pretending to be sick be exposed on the spot
Otherwise... Just say that you still have something to do
Just after finishing the meal, he said he had something to do and left, which seemed not very polite to the host.
Mu Xiaoxiao was so worried!
This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what reasonable excuse should I make
She was usually a little smart, but now she felt that her brain cells were not enough.
At this time, Yin Shaojie stood up and said, "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao and I have something to do and have to go home, so we can't stay longer and have to leave first. Next time, we will take care of you next time." Uncle, why don’t you eat?"
With that said, he walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao and took her hand.
Mu Xiaoxiao had wanted to leave, so of course she was happy to do so.
She also showed an apologetic smile and said, "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, we have to leave first."
Gu Pingyuan acted very considerate, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Uncle Gu also saw that you have been back for so long, so he asked you to come and get together."
