Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Aunt Ke no longer had that kind expression when facing Gu Yundong. She snorted softly. “Why? Can’t I come?”
“Of course you can come. The two little ones were talking about you two days ago.”
Gu Yundong quickly invited her to sit in the central room. Gu Yunshu had already rushed over to pour some sugar water.
Aunt Ke took a sip and nodded. “Looks like your business is doing well.”
Gu Yundong had sent her and Nie Cong New Year’s goods before the New Year. She had asked Zheng Gang’s family’s bodyguard agency to deliver them. Among them was white sugar. She had also written a letter, but she had roughly mentioned her business without writing in detail.
“It’s not bad.”
Aunt Ke nodded at her. “You’re pretending to be humble again.” Then she looked at Gu Yunke. The young lady had not seen her for months. Although she knew Aunt Ke, she was still young and her mind was a little blurry. At this moment, she was standing behind her and looking at her curiously.
Aunt Ke’s heart melted from her big, watery eyes. She hurriedly waved her hand. “Keke doesn’t remember Aunt Ke? In the past, when you were at my house, you insisted on sleeping with me. Aunt Ke even told you many stories. Have you forgotten?”
“Yes, was it the big tabby cat story?”
“Oh, so you still remember.” Aunt Ke was even happier. “Do you still want to hear it? This time, I’ll tell you about the big yellow dog.”
The little girl nodded. Seeing her brothers and sisters looking at her with smiles, she immediately threw herself into Aunt Ke’s arms.
Aunt Ke had endless things to say to the two children. After speaking to Gu Yundong briefly, she ignored her.
It was Gu Yunshu who whispered to her, “Eldest Sister, Aunt Ke said that she only ate two small buns today and wants to eat your braised pork.”
“Alright, Eldest Sister will cook it.” Gu Yundong laughed.
She instructed Gu Yunshu to chat with her, but he must not tire Aunt Ke out. She turned her head and instructed Madam Jiang to clean up the guest room.
Then, she went into the kitchen. She had not cooked in a long time, so she could show off her skills.
Aunt Ke was tired after all. She went to the guest room to sleep for almost an hour. When she woke up, she could have dinner.
However, when she saw the unfamiliar man sitting in the Gu family’s restaurant, she could not help but raise her eyebrows.
As Aunt Ke, who had grown up with her childhood sweetheart and had a good relationship with him, she knew what Shao Qingyuan’s gaze meant.
No matter how obscure it was, she could clearly see the gaze that would drift to Gu Yundong from time to time.
Moreover, this man was very aggressive. One look and one could tell that he was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal. Furthermore, he listened to Gu Yundong’s every word and entered the kitchen whenever he was told to. Gu Yundong was used to his dog-like temper and would not fancy other men. Sooner or later, she would fall into his hands.
Aunt Ke sighed inwardly. She had wanted to matchmake her silly nephew Nie Cong and Gu Yundong, but now it seemed that she should forget it. She would just focus on watching the show.
Shao Qingyuan was a man of few words. He knew Aunt Ke and knew that she had helped the Gu family a lot. Hence, his attitude was friendly. He greeted her first and quietly became a listener. He ate… braised pork.
Seeing that his movements were not slow, even if Aunt Ke wanted to chat with the two children, she forcefully endured it and became a refined noblewoman who did not speak during meals.
Let’s eat first.
However, after eating, it was more important to talk about serious matters first..
