Chapter 962: Chapter 961: She Probably Likes You
Qin Siling was stunned.
After a while, she slowly said: "You kissed her?"
Qin Siyuan chuckled lightly: "Yeah."
After recounting the incident with Shen Wanqing, Qin Siling was even more puzzled, but she, being a woman, understood other women’s thoughts. She immediately advised her brother: "She probably likes you."
Qin Siyuan frowned: Is that possible?
Shen Wanqing sighed: "Gu Mingzhu is the belle of Beicheng, who never pays attention to anyone. I heard a rumor that she’s only ever had a crush on one person - Shen Congwen."
"Shen Congwen?" Qin Siyuan was puzzled.
Qin Siling couldn’t help but laugh: "She’s now Zhou Yunchen’s wife. Raised like a boy, she’s always worked alongside Gu Yuanshan. This big sister harbored a secret crush on someone since childhood, isn’t that interesting?"
Qin Siyuan glanced towards the main bedroom door just as Gu Mingzhu, dressed in pajamas, emerged holding her phone and approached them: "Si Lan, I’ve ordered some late-night snacks. Let’s eat together."
Her hair was damp, wearing only a light pink pajama, and her face was clean and youthful.
Qin Siling immediately thought her brother was done for...
She certainly wouldn’t stay. She forced a smile: "I’m on a diet."
Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Alright, I’ve ordered for myself then."
She looked down, fiddling with her phone. The money in her payment app was actually from Qin Siyuan, but without asking him what he wanted, Qin Siyuan couldn’t help but ask: "Don’t I get anything?"
"You’re fine with your poultry." Gu Mingzhu snorted, clearly discontented, but after a moment, she looked up with a sly smile: "But it’s late, you can still go find some. Today was my fault for blocking your good time."
Qin Siyuan chuckled: "Your words are dripping with sarcasm."
She didn’t approach, so he went to sit beside her, taking a towel from the side to dry her hair. Gu Mingzhu glanced up at him, then continued to focus on her own business.
Qin Siyuan paused his hands: "Did you actually have a crush on Shen Congwen?"
"Yeah, ancient history. They’re about to have a child now." Gu Mingzhu pressed her lips: "Laugh if you want, I bet your sister told you, right?"
He didn’t deny it.
Gu Mingzhu added: "I know she doesn’t like me."
"Quite self-aware, aren’t you?" Qin Siyuan laughed and continued earnestly drying her hair. After a while, he leaned in: "What did you order?"
"Not telling you." She put her phone away and tried to leave, but he held her back.
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip: "What do you want?"
"Nothing." He released her: "Just wait here, let’s watch some TV together."
Gu Mingzhu looked at him, thinking he was being inexplicable, but sat cross-legged a bit further from him.
The TV turned on, but he absentmindedly flipped through channels until stopping, causing Gu Mingzhu to scream—
"Shameless."
He froze, then looked at the TV to find it was a hotel adult channel, unsuitable for minors.
Qin Siyuan smiled slightly and turned off the TV.
Later, he went to find her, but she had shut the door.
He knocked: "Open the door."
"I won’t. You’re shameless." Her voice came from inside.
Qin Siyuan explained kindly: "It wasn’t intentional, I just happened to flip into it."
There was no response from inside, so feeling helpless, he sat back on the sofa to think things through. Finally, he decided to arrange another room for her, as staying together would surely lead to trouble.
He couldn’t deny that what happened in the car was an unexpected accidental slip.
