Chapter 961: Chapter 960: Just a Kiss
She wanted to talk to him, but Qin Siyuan had no intention of acknowledging her.
Shen Wanqing, standing by his side, noticed he had changed from before.
Qin Siyuan used to be the young master of the Qin family, somewhat naive, but after a year’s transformation, he was completely different. He had evolved from a boy into a man, much more mature and steady.
To be honest, Shen Wanqing regretted it now. If only she hadn’t gotten drunk back then, if only she hadn’t followed that wealthy heir and instead stayed to endure hardships with him, would things have been better?
But there’s no if. Now... he probably looked down on her, and didn’t miss her at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Wanqing felt a sense of injustice for herself, lowered her head, and asked softly, "Do you still have contact with Gu Anxi?"
Qin Siyuan’s body stiffened for a moment, then he smiled faintly, "Is that a problem?"
Shen Wanqing got a bit emotional, "Siyuan, don’t forget it was because of her that your family was ruined! Even if Uncle Qin and the others were at fault, the Gu family is fine now, only Old Master and Uncle Qin are gone. Don’t you hate her? ...Or do you still like her?"
Qin Siyuan listened, a bit dazed, after a while, he seemed to talk to himself, "I never knew your values were like this."
Shen Wanqing opened her mouth to speak, but at that moment, the elevator opened, and Qin Siyuan had already walked out without a trace of reluctance.
Shen Wanqing had a motive, so she immediately followed him. In the dark night, the sound of her high heels running was particularly crisp.
But Qin Siyuan acted as if he hadn’t seen anything, continuing to walk briskly.
When he reached the parking lot and was about to get into his car, Shen Wanqing caught up and grabbed the car door, pleading, "Siyuan, let’s talk."
She said with some difficulty, "What you saw just now wasn’t what it seemed. You were just there to have a drink..."
She always felt guilty, not daring to speak too clearly.
Qin Siyuan lowered his head, "Your matters have nothing to do with me."
He pried her hand away and got into the car, intending to close the door, but Shen Wanqing didn’t let go. Just at this tense moment, a somewhat willful voice came from the back seat: "Qin Siyuan, did you call for poultry?"
Shen Wanqing was startled.
Then, the rear window rolled down, revealing a face strikingly similar to Gu Anxi’s, but much more spoiled, with a hint of disdain in her gaze. Meanwhile, Shen Wanqing, being someone who cared most about appearances, stared at Gu Mingzhu, seemingly realizing who this girl was, yet finding it hard to believe. She trembled, saying, "Siyuan, are you... with Gu Anxi’s sister?"
Qin Siyuan didn’t answer that question; he just closed the car door and then told the person in the back seat, "Roll up the window, let’s go back."
Gu Mingzhu was pressing the button while saying, "Qin Siyuan, did you call for poultry?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Qin Siyuan started the car, and the black BMW slowly drove away.
Shen Wanqing stood there, staring blankly, her fingernails digging into her flesh.
Inside the car, Gu Mingzhu suddenly remembered who that woman was and snorted lightly, "She’s your ex-girlfriend, the painter, right? How did she end up like this? Can’t you just put her up for a night? It won’t cost much."
Spoiled by Tang Yuan, she never suffered from childhood, and even after Tang Yuan passed away, she lived shamelessly like a princess, looking down on someone like Shen Wanqing, so her words were very harsh.
Qin Siyuan steadily held the steering wheel, frowning slightly, "Don’t say those things again."
What kind of girl keeps talking about calling for poultry?
When he stopped her from saying it, Gu Mingzhu felt he still had lingering feelings for that woman, so she discontentedly shouted, "What’s so good about her? If you marry her, you probably have green hats flying everywhere."
Leaning back in the seat, she muttered after a while, "You might as well like Gu Anxi, at least she doesn’t fool around."
Although she... disliked Gu Anxi, really, Gu Anxi seemed especially infatuated with Bo Xichen, as if he were the only man left in the world, which was truly unbearable to watch.
Doesn’t she consider other men?
When Gu Mingzhu said this, Qin Siyuan just chuckled, "How could I like her? She’s married."
As he said this, he himself was momentarily lost in thought, only snapping out of it after a while. However, the car swerved slightly to the side of the road, scaring Gu Mingzhu, who then shouted: ’Qin Siyuan, do you want to die? Can’t you drive properly?’
Qin Siyuan didn’t respond, guiding the car back onto the road. When they reached the red light ahead, he stopped the car and said gently, ’Come to the front.’
Gu Mingzhu snorted lightly, "I’m telling you, I’m not very good at driving."
She still climbed to the front seat, just about to switch places with him, but was suddenly held down by the back of her head, then she was...
"Mmm... mmm..." Gu Mingzhu widened her eyes, staring at the man close to her with disbelief.
She, she was being taken advantage of by him.
At first, she was stunned, with her hands clenched into fists, pounding frantically on his back, but eventually, she grew weak, grabbing his shoulders, mumbling his name, "Qin Siyuan."
He finally let her go, only because the cars behind were honking furiously...
"Fasten your seatbelt," he said in a hoarse voice.
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, her eyes slightly red and misty.
He didn’t look at her again, calmly focusing on driving.
That look, it was obvious he was experienced, just the kind of man who’s been through it all, making Gu Mingzhu so angry that her tears were welling up in her eyes. She was still a girl with standards; she didn’t want anyone’s second-hand goods.
Gu Anxi was with Brother Xichen, and Brother Xichen had never been with a woman before.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, turning her head to the side.
Qin Siyuan’s voice calmly sounded again, "Buckle your seatbelt."
She angrily fastened it, still refusing to talk to him.
After a while, Qin Siyuan spoke hoarsely, "Don’t think too much, it was just a moment of impulse."
"Impulse, my ass." Gu Mingzhu was even angrier, letting out a curse.
Qin Siyuan tolerated her, "My mom’s been gone for a long time."
She turned her head to the side, not saying a word.
Her pride felt utterly pointless; she was still thinking she didn’t want him, yet he hadn’t even considered it.
Gu Mingzhu’s heart was very conflicted, her little heart hurt again...
When they got to the hotel, she quietly said, "I want to go back to Beicheng."
Qin Siyuan was a bit tired. After all, he had worked all day, socialized all evening, and she insisted on tagging along and waiting in the car. Bringing along a young girl was really exhausting, and the moodiness was as endless as a perpetual period.
He rubbed his forehead and gently asked her, "Just because of a kiss? Your first time?"
"Of course not, you’re shameless!" she yelled, glaring at him.
Qin Siyuan chuckled, "It’s nothing, I didn’t plan to do anything to you. Fine, if you mind, I apologize, there won’t be a next time."
She got angry again.
The fact that there wouldn’t be a next time made her even angrier.
When going to the hotel, she felt particularly awkward, and later, to get back at him, she took a two-hour shower.
Qin Siyuan was quite speechless; he really hadn’t met a girl like this before.
From childhood to now, there were basically just two girls around him. One was Anxi, open-minded and not petty, and the other was Shen Wanqing, always trying to please him and never dared to show him any attitude, whereas this one, he took care of her for free, yet she dared to show him small temper tantrums everywhere. He really didn’t know where her confidence came from, or did she really think he was her brother-in-law?
He wasn’t in a hurry. After dealing with some matters, he went to the terrace to enjoy a smoke.
At this moment, Qin Siling knocked on the door and came in, chiding him as he smoked, "There are girls here, how come you’re smoking?"
Qin Siyuan smiled nonchalantly, "She’s been in the bathroom for over an hour and refuses to come out."
Qin Siling wasn’t too fond of the spoiled young lady, Gu Mingzhu, glanced at the bathroom door, and whispered, "You really let her stay? Siyuan, what are you thinking? You can’t be... just into her face, right?"
Qin Siyuan didn’t respond.
Qin Siling added, "You should understand Gu Anxi’s intentions. If you don’t have feelings, don’t lay a hand on her; she’s even younger than Anxi, just 20, right?"
Qin Siyuan smoked and smiled faintly, "What are you thinking? I have no such feelings."
Actually, whether he did or not, he knew in his heart, but he went with the flow.
Of course, he really liked that small face.
It’s indeed unfair, but how much of this world’s feelings are fair anyway?
Qin Siling looked at his expression, sighed, "I know you’ve grown up now, matured, and don’t need your sister to worry about you anymore, but Siyuan, after all you’ve been through, I hope you can settle down well."
Qin Siyuan smiled faintly, "I know."
Qin Siling came over for serious matters too, and after discussing for about half an hour, she was about to leave, just as Gu Mingzhu was coming out of the bathroom.
Even Qin Siling was a bit taken aback.
Gu Mingzhu was indeed attractive, but she looked even better after the shower.
Very fair, very slim, exceptionally delicate.
She looked doubtfully at her brother.
Qin Siyuan waved his hand, "Come here."
Gu Mingzhu angrily turned her head, not wanting to pay attention to him, but she felt bad ignoring Qin Siling, so awkwardly called out "Sister Siling" before heading into the master bedroom.
Qin Siling was puzzled, "How did you offend her?"
Qin Siyuan laughed, "I kissed her once and told her there wouldn’t be a next time..."
