Chapter 974: Chapter 973: I Don’t Like Him at All
Qin Siling had long wanted to talk to Anxi but had never found the opportunity. Now that the chance had arrived, it was a stroke of luck, so she nodded: "Sure, anyway, time is abundant."
After she spoke, Qin Siyuan glanced at her and went upstairs.
Once he went up, the living room fell silent. After all, they were two people who weren’t quite amicable before, and for a moment, they couldn’t find words. Gu Anxi was also not one to force herself or find topics just for others’ pleasure, so she looked down and played on her phone.
Qin Siling had matured a lot this past year. Now, thinking about how much older she was compared to Gu Anxi, she realized she shouldn’t have targeted her in that way. Reflecting on it, she could only remember the cute Little An.
She felt quite regretful, so she softened her voice: "Anxi, I’ve wanted to thank you for a long time, just didn’t find the chance."
She paused for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "I know you may not need my apology, but it’s very important for Siyuan and me. Anxi, I’m sorry for how I treated you during your hardest times back then."
Gu Anxi put down her phone, lost in thought for a moment, then smiled. Her smile was inexplicably cute; although 20-year-old Gu Anxi wasn’t very cute, 21-year-old Gu Anxi had become adorable again. Qin Siling thought, maybe it’s because of Professor Bo.
They truly fell in love, didn’t they!
Gu Anxi nonchalantly said, "It’s okay, it’s all past."
Qin Siling’s smile was a bit stiff, but anyway, some things needed to be said. She sighed in relief and said in a slightly ingratiating manner, "We will take good care of Mingzhu. She’s quite beautiful and very hard-working. I heard she’s working on a movie, right?"
"I guess." Gu Anxi remembered Gu Mingzhu’s appearance and smiled along.
Qin Siling had lived in Beicheng before and knew a bit about the Beicheng Gu family. Seeing Gu Anxi’s expression, she couldn’t help but say, "Anxi, you’ve become more tolerant than before."
"Really?" Gu Anxi knew what she was getting at and smiled, "I suppose it’s because I can’t shake it off."
Qin Siling laughed, her eyes slightly misty, but she wouldn’t show it easily at her age...
Upstairs, Qin Siyuan didn’t go directly to the study but knocked on Gu Mingzhu’s door. When she didn’t respond, he opened it anyway. Inside was a very girlish room, temporarily decorated for her.
Although Qin Siyuan hadn’t asked, he could tell from her usual attire and preferences that she loved princess dreams. So, he decided to set it up, and she seemed to quite like it.
Opening the door, Gu Mingzhu was sitting at the computer desk, typing something unknown.
He approached, "Daydreaming?"
As he spoke, he closed the laptop, and Gu Mingzhu looked up, "I’m writing a script."
"You’ve been daydreaming for quite a while." He tapped her head lightly, "Anxi rarely comes over; you don’t go down to chat. Who knows when the next time will be?"
Gu Mingzhu continued staring blankly at him, "Why don’t you go?"
He smiled, "Not convenient."
"What’s inconvenient?" She bit her lip, then lowered her gaze, "Haven’t you always liked her? It’s a rare opportunity; why not seize it?"
Qin Siyuan suddenly bent down, his handsome face approached hers, chuckling lightly, "This sounds a bit jealous."
He paused, "But no matter how fond I am, she’s already someone else’s wife."
Finishing his sentence, his handsome face moved slightly closer, leaving only two inches between them.
Gu Mingzhu was being stared at like this, her face burning hotly, and moreover... why did she feel like he was luring her, was he tempting her?
Couldn’t be!
She was uncertain, yet hopeful, her heart pounding intensely, but her face remained tense, still putting on a dignified air: "I don’t know... that’s your matter."
A moment later, she added, "You could compete with Brother Xichen. What if it worked out?"
He moved a bit closer, his voice hoarse: "Do you really think that way?"
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, "Actually... you need to consider morality as well, after all, they are married."
Qin Siyuan nodded: "You’re right, I should consider such issues, so instead, I’ll find a single young girl."
Gu Mingzhu lowered her head, "Shen Wanqing is single."
After saying that, Qin Siyuan remained silent for a long time...
She grew uneasy and looked up, only to find his black eyes watching her, revealing no emotions.
Gu Mingzhu became nervous, eventually mumbling, "I’m speaking the truth."
He chuckled, reached out to tousle her hair, and left a comment: "Not honest..."
Gu Mingzhu opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but Qin Siyuan had already left.
He went to the study to retrieve some materials and cheerfully went downstairs. Qin Siling saw him come down and got up: "I’ll drive, you all chat for a while."
Saying that she went out first, leaving Qin Siyuan and Gu Anxi there. Gu Anxi smiled, "Still obedient?"
Qin Siyuan took out a cigarette box, put a cigarette to his lips but didn’t light it, then smiled after a while: "Obedient enough, just a bit foolish."
Gu Anxi chuckled along, but said nothing further.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Siyuan said, "Shen Wanqing is also in Jiangcheng, you know? She’s been hanging out with your uncle lately, you should keep an eye."
"Mm." Gu Anxi nodded, then said, "Those two seem quite suitable."
She spoke with a mischievous tone: ’Any thoughts?’
Qin Siyuan lit the cigarette and tapped her lightly: ’Still naughty as ever.’
After that, he went out without saying goodbye, as if very familiar.
Gu Anxi wasn’t upset because he left without a word. She stood there for a long time, chuckled softly, then lazily called out to those upstairs: ’Alright, come down. Aren’t you tired of hiding all the time, or are you afraid he won’t know you like him?’
Upstairs, Gu Mingzhu ran down, biting her lip afterward, "I don’t like him."
