The air around them seemed to freeze.
Gu Yan stared at Leng Ling'er and Bai Qionglan.
Slowly, a question mark formed in his mind.
Wait a minute?
Am I still dreaming?
How could I run into Leng Ling'er here??? Doesn’t she have school today?
And why is Gu Yingying sprawled on the ground, bawling her eyes out without a care for her image?
What’s going on? What’s happening?
Most importantly...
He was out strolling and shopping with Gu Yunrou and Gu Yingying without informing his wife, Leng Qingqiu.
If Leng Ling'er snitched, it would inevitably lead to another misunderstanding.
What should he do?
Leng Ling'er looked at Gu Yan, equally stunned.
What’s happening?
Why is my brother-in-law here?
And who’s that gorgeous woman next to him?
And this girl clutching her pants leg while sobbing uncontrollably—does she know Gu Yan too?
What’s going on?
An affair?
Is Gu Yan cheating?!
But...
She had sneaked out today without telling her sister.
If Gu Yan reported her, she’d be done for!
So...
Leng Ling'er glanced at Gu Yan.
So...
Gu Yan glanced back at Leng Ling'er.
They should just pretend not to know each other and greet each other normally!
With that thought,
Their eyes met, and they instantly understood each other’s intentions.
Just as both opened their mouths to speak—
"You—"
"Brother-in-law of Ling'er! You came at the perfect time!"
Bai Qionglan suddenly jumped in, pointing accusingly at Gu Yingying, who was still clinging to Leng Ling'er’s pants. "This little girl crashed right into Ling'er!"
"After falling, she started hurling insults at her!"
"Ling'er kindly helped her up, but then she started extorting us!"
"Brother-in-law, you have to stand up for us!"
The moment those words left her mouth,
Gu Yunrou’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at Gu Yan in shock.
Gu Yingying stopped crying, her gaze darting back and forth between Gu Yan and Leng Ling'er in disbelief.
Wh-wh-wh-what?!!
Brother-in-law of Ling'er?!
Does that mean... this bratty little blonde is Leng Ling'er?! And her sister is Leng Qingqiu?!
So! She’s Gu Yan’s sister-in-law!!
WHAT?!!
Lin Dang was also thrown for a loop.
Wait... does this mean...
Should I just quietly step back now? Am I witnessing something I shouldn’t?
Well, no point pretending anymore.
Gu Yan’s lips twitched. He cleared his throat and spoke slowly, "Alright, let me introduce everyone."
"This here is my sister-in-law, Leng Ling'er. I was planning to introduce you all tomorrow."
"And this is Bai Jun’s younger sister, Bai Qionglan."
"As for the one crying on the ground..."
He picked up the still-dazed Gu Yingying. "This is my little sister, Gu Yingying."
Then, gesturing to the elegant woman beside him, "And this is my older sister, Gu Yunrou."
Once the relationships were clarified,
Gu Yan turned to Old Gao, who had been watching the scene unfold. "Old Gao, take the stuff to the car first. I’ll handle things here."
"Got it, pff— Young Master."
Hey, hey, did you just laugh?!
Once the area was cleared, leaving only Gu Yan, Leng Ling'er, Bai Qionglan, Gu Yingying, and Gu Yunrou,
Gu Yan clapped his hands together and grinned at the four bewildered faces. "So, that’s the situation."
"The situation... my foot!"
Gu Yingying sniffled, her pretty face twisted in anger as she pointed at Leng Ling'er. "I refuse to accept her as your sister-in-law!"
Leng Ling'er raised an eyebrow. Huh? Why does this feel oddly familiar?
"Come on, Yingying. Whether you accept it or not, it’s already a fact," Gu Yan waved her off.
Gu Yingying’s expression froze. Then, lowering her head as if steeling herself, she suddenly looked up again, her eyes red with fury as she shouted at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan! I hate you!"
With that, she turned to storm off—
"Oh really?"
Leng Ling'er’s voice carried a hint of amusement.
"?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Gu Yingying halted mid-step, glaring daggers at Leng Ling'er over her shoulder.
This blonde brat—I won’t acknowledge her!
But then...
Leng Ling'er smirked, deliberately musing, "Hmm... I seem to recall someone crying on the ground earlier, calling for their..."
"Who was it again? Oh right, someone was about to call for their big bro—"
"W-w-w-wait!!!"
Gu Yingying’s composure crumbled instantly. She scurried back to Leng Ling'er, grabbing her hand with teary eyes. "Um... maybe we can talk this out?"
Leng Ling'er flashed a triumphant smile, patting Gu Yingying’s head. "Sure thing, little sis."
Then, leaning down, she whispered in her ear:
"You wouldn’t want your beloved brother to find out about this, would you?"
Guh...! This is my shame!!
Gu Yingying forced a smile, but inside, she was seething. I’ll make you pay for this humiliation one day!!
Leng Ling'er, I’ll remember you!!
Gu Yan could only watch in bewilderment.
What just happened?
They made up just like that? And what was that whisper about?
He glanced at Leng Ling'er, who looked unbearably smug, then at Gu Yingying, now being teased by her, and finally at Bai Qionglan, who was watching enviously.
His mind drifted back to Ning Qian, who had once made some... interesting gestures at Leng Ling'er.
Slowly, another question mark formed in his mind.
Huh?
It can’t be what I’m thinking... right?
