Chapter 61: Should I Move Out to Make Room for You?

Arriving at the coffee shop, Ruan Yu opened the gift box, ready to give it to Jiang Shiqing.

As soon as she opened the box, Jiang Shiqing was amazed by the jade bracelet’s luster, she said, “Good eye.”

Hearing Jiang Shiqing praise Ruan Yu, Xu Jiu felt jealous. She thought for a moment, “Sister, my mother’s birthday is in a few days, this jade bracelet is really beautiful, can you give it to me? I’ll pay you double the price, okay? Just help me out.”

“Anything else is fine, but not this.” Ruan Yu had already anticipated that Xu Jiu would try to compete with her, “This jade bracelet is for Aunt.”

Ruan Yu pushed the gift box in front of Jiang Shiqing, “Aunt, do you like it?”

“It’s alright.” Jiang Shiqing thought that Ruan Yu had good taste, she could pick out such a gem among so many jade bracelets.

Seeing Jiang Shiqing say this, Xu Jiu felt much better. She thought that Jiang Shiqing didn’t like the jade bracelet, she affectionately held her arm, acting coquettishly, “Since Aunt doesn’t like it that much, can you give it to me?”

Jiang Shiqing chuckled, she took a sip of coffee and looked at her. Seeing her like this, Xu Jiu thought that she would definitely give her the jade bracelet, then she would slap Ruan Yu in the face.

“Little Jiu.” Jiang Shiqing said, “This is a gift from my daughter-in-law, whether I like it or not, it’s a gesture of affection. Aunt usually spoils you, but this time it’s not possible. I’ll give you the gift my daughter-in-law gave me, she’ll be heartbroken.

Why don’t you go to the store and pick one out, Aunt will buy it for you.”

Ruan Yu’s eyes lit up, her heart warmed, she could feel that Jiang Shiqing’s heart was still leaning towards her, and she also acknowledged that she was her daughter-in-law.

Relatively speaking, Xu Jiu didn’t seem so happy. Hearing Jiang Shiqing call Ruan Yu her daughter-in-law, she felt both jealous and hateful, “No need, Aunt, I’ll come and pick one out another time.”

Xu Jiu gave up, because there was no benefit to her if she continued to pester her.

Later, Jiang Shiqing personally chose a few pieces of clothing to thank Ruan Yu for the jade bracelet she gave her, they were all very suitable for Ruan Yu’s temperament.

Xu Jiu could only watch from the side, filled with jealousy.

In the evening, Jiang Shiqing invited Ruan Yu to have dinner at the Gu family’s old house.

After dinner, Ruan Yu went back to the Gu residence. As soon as she entered the living room, she put the gift she was holding on the sofa. Gu Yan Zhi had just come down from upstairs after taking a shower.

He was wearing a bathrobe, his hair was dripping with crystal clear water droplets, following his steps, they dripped onto the carpet.

Gu Yan Zhi was holding a towel, he calmly wiped his hair, he walked in front of Ruan Yu, put down the towel in his hand, and put his arms around her from behind.

“Why did you come back so late, did you want me to stay home alone?”

Ruan Yu was enveloped by the fragrance of shower gel, the water droplets from Gu Yan Zhi’s hair dripped onto her fair arm.

“I just came back a little late, besides, what’s wrong with staying home alone, why do you always bully me at night?” Her voice was filled with complaint.

She used to think that Gu Yan Zhi wasn’t good, but since she found out that he was good, he was unsatisfied every night.

In short, he would start to bother her whenever he got the chance.

Gu Yan Zhi chuckled, his gaze fell on the gift box on the sofa, “What’s this?”

“Aunt bought me some clothes.” Ruan Yu said truthfully.

His chin rested on Ruan Yu’s neck, he rubbed against her, his voice was tinged with desire, “When did you get so close?”

In Gu Yan Zhi’s impression, besides going back to the old house for dinner every week, they didn’t seem to have much interaction.

“You don’t understand the world of women.” Ruan Yu didn’t want to continue this topic, Gu Yan Zhi didn’t know about the unpleasantness between her and Jiang Shiqing, he was always smart, she was afraid that he would see through her.

She thought of something else, Ruan Yu broke free from Gu Yan Zhi’s arms, her lips curled up, “I heard that Mr. Gu has a childhood sweetheart, your relationship is not ordinary either, you even saved her life, it’s just that she hasn’t promised to marry you yet, right?”

She blinked, although her lips were curled up, there was no smile on her face.

“Yes.” Gu Yan Zhi crossed his arms, his face was full of smiles, “But how did you know? Little Jiu is back?”

Little Jiu?

He called her so affectionately.

The smile on Ruan Yu’s face disappeared, she picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Gu Yan Zhi, her cheeks were puffed up in anger, her eyes were red, like an angry little rabbit, “Yes, your Little Jiu is back, should I move out to make room for you?”

Gu Yan Zhi stood there for a moment, he originally wanted to tease her by going along with her, but he didn’t expect her to react as if she had been stimulated, she exploded at the slightest provocation.

Seeing that Gu Yan Zhi didn’t react, Ruan Yu thought that she had hit a nerve, she picked up the phone on the sofa and prepared to leave.

She had just taken a few steps when Gu Yan Zhi reacted, he went forward and pulled her.

At this time, Gu Yan Zhi remembered what Ling Qing had said, the slow poison in Ruan Yu’s body would make her irritable in the early stages, he should try to indulge her more.

He regretted teasing her.

Ruan Yu’s chest was filled with anger, she shook off Gu Yan Zhi’s hand and ran towards the yard. She wanted to leave the Gu residence, but the door was locked, she couldn’t get out, she looked at the gatekeeper, her brows furrowed, “Open the door.”

Of course, she couldn’t even get out of the door without Gu Yan Zhi’s permission.

She went to the backyard, the baby’s breath she had planted there had also bloomed. She sat on the swing and gently swayed.

The wind blew, Ruan Yu gradually regained her composure. It was just a joke, but she had overreacted. She didn’t know why, she couldn’t control her temper, she inexplicably wanted to get angry, especially when she heard Gu Yan Zhi call his childhood sweetheart so affectionately.

Gu Yan Zhi regretted it, he went upstairs and changed into home clothes, he could see Ruan Yu sitting on the swing from the balcony.

He went downstairs, came to the backyard, and walked behind Ruan Yu, gently pushing the swing.

Ruan Yu was startled, she didn’t speak, she didn’t get angry at Gu Yan Zhi again, she just lowered her head and looked at the shadow on the ground.

The swing slowly stopped, Gu Yan Zhi hugged her from behind, his voice was gentle, “Ayu, I only treat the childhood sweetheart you mentioned as my sister, I have absolutely no other feelings for her. Also, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have made you angry.”

Ruan Yu lowered her head, her nose twitched, her eyes were a little moist, “I know.”

Of course she knew that Gu Yan Zhi only loved her, it was just that she had been stimulated by Xu Jiu all day today, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she couldn’t control her temper. She had just been joking, but she didn’t expect to get angry.

“Don’t be angry, okay?” Gu Yan Zhi patiently coaxed her, his voice was gentle.

******

Ruan Yu came out of the bathroom, she sat in front of the dressing table, she picked up the hairdryer and prepared to blow dry her hair.

Gu Yan Zhi walked over and took the hairdryer from her hand, he gently blew her hair.

He wasn’t very skilled, it took a while to blow dry her hair. After blowing dry her hair, Gu Yan Zhi was about to put down the hairdryer when Ruan Yu turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed against his abs.
