Chapter 634: Surprise
Gu Qingjiu asked testingly, “How do you want me to express my thanks?”
“You should know.”
He chuckled, then said in his deep voice, “Think about it properly. Good day.”
With that, he hung up the call.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
What could she possibly think of?
She had a rough idea of how Helian Niancheng wanted her to thank him, and she couldn’t help but think along those lines.
She gently patted her face. Gu Xiaoxi walked over as she rubbed her bottom, curious. As she gazed at Gu Qingjiu, she said, “Sister Qingjiu, your face is so red…”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She hurriedly pulled Gu Xiaoxi towards her and gently smacked her on her little bottom. “Nonsense, Sister’s face isn’t red.”
Qi Yuefeng, who was in the kitchen, overheard them. She stuck her head out in astonishment. “Face is red? Do you have a fever?”
“…”
Fine, so long as her mom didn’t think it was something else.
“No.”
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly let out a chuckle. Seeing that Gu Xiaoxi was still in her pajamas, Qi Yuefeng instructed Gu Qingjiu, “Help Xiaoxi change out of her pajamas. We’ll go out and buy some stuff after breakfast.”
“Okay.”
Although one of Gu Qingjiu’s arm was injured, she had no problem handling most matters with one arm.
The obedient Xiaoxi knew how to put on clothes by herself.
While she was helping Gu Xiaoxi get dressed, Gu Qingjiu looked at her wound.
After some medication and stitching up of the wound, her flesh was slowly growing out.
At the start, when she changed her wound dressing, she couldn’t bear to look at it.
So, while Gu Qingjiu was at home, she had been avoiding Qi Yuefeng and the rest while she changed her wound dressing.
After that, the trio went out.
By ‘buying’ some stuff, Qi Yuefeng intended to bring Gu Qingjiu out to buy clothes.
She kept saying Gu Qingjiu had few clothes to wear now, and she wanted to buy all sorts of clothing for her.
That was basically how the days at home passed.
It was fine at the start when she just came back, but as time went by, she began feeling incredibly bored.
Hence, on 10th July, Gu Qingjiu took a flight back to the capital.
Mainly because her father was about to return from the capital, she wouldn’t have to worry about Qi Yuefeng and Gu Xiaoxi alone at home.
When Gu Qingjiu reached the capital and before she could even inform Helian Niancheng of her return, she received Helian Niancheng’s call the moment she checked her phone after getting off the flight.
“I’m waiting for you at your favorite steak restaurant.”
“Did you install a tracker on me?”
Gu Qingjiu curled her lips. The person on the other end of the line said, “More or less. Hurry over. I’ll be waiting.”
Gu Qingjiu took a cab to where Helian Niancheng was.
She had told Qi Yuefeng she was returning early to look for her older brother. But the first person she went to look for upon her return was Helian Niancheng, which made her feel a tad ashamed.
When she reached the restaurant, the servers could recognize Gu Qingjiu by now, and they immediately led her into an individual suite.
Gu Qingjiu joyfully entered, and it was then that she realized that other than Helian Niancheng, there was also the back view of an elegant woman in the room.
Gu Qingjiu’s smile froze on her lips.
Her entry alerted those present in the room.
Helian Niancheng and this woman turned their heads at the same time. Gu Qingjiu could then see that the woman before her was a woman with an imposing appearance.
As she looked closely, her facial features bore a more remarkable resemblance to Westerners. She was an extremely gorgeous woman with an elegant disposition.
