Chapter 453: Cleverness

The infertility issue is the biggest problem in Qiao Ruoxing's heart. She must have gathered enough courage to take this first step.

Gu Jingyan's heart was surging. He turned his head and gently rubbed Qiao Ruoxing, and his voice was tender and gentle, "Let's go and release a Kongming lantern to make a wish."

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Aren't you afraid of being detained?"

Gu Jingyan said, "No, write Shen Qingchuan's name."

Qiao Ruoxing...

No wonder Shen Qingchuan always finds ways to cheat him, Gu Jingyan himself is not honest.

Today, there is a lantern show at the cross street near Linghe. Lanterns are hung over the whole street. Standing at the intersection, all kinds of lanterns emerge in an endless stream, and the century-old alley is bustling.

Qiao Ruoxing saw an ancient half-fox mask at a stall. She picked it up and put it on her face, and asked Gu Jingyan, "Does it look good?"

Gu Jingyan said, "It looks good on you."

Qiao Ruoxing glanced at him, is her little mouth smeared with honey?

While she was putting on the mask, Gu Jingyan had already gone to check out.

There were many beautiful masks on the display shelf. Qiao Ruoxing liked a metal mask with half-face makeup. Just as she was about to reach out for it, someone took it down faster than her.

Before Qiao Ruoxing looked back, she heard a familiar voice saying, "Try it on if you like it."

Song Jiayu liked it very much, but when she heard Gu Jingran speak, she didn't want to try it anymore.

She put the mask back with her lips pursed, turned around and was about to leave, and suddenly saw Gu Jingyan walk to a girl wearing a mask and whispered, "Do you want to pick a few more?"

Song Jiayu was stunned and subconsciously shouted, "Brother Gu."

Gu Jingyan paused, looked up, and saw Song Jiayu and Gu Jingran. His eyes paused for a second, and then nodded to them.

Qiao Ruoxing didn't know whether Gu Jingyan was embarrassed or not, but Qiao Ruoxing was embarrassed for him anyway.

I asked my cousin to go on a date for me, but I was caught by the other party. I was very embarrassed.

Song Jiayu's eyes fell on Qiao Ruoxing, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Gu Jingran recognized the masked woman next to Gu Jingyan as Qiao Ruoxing at a glance. He was a little surprised, and then realized that Gu Jingyan gave him the opportunity to be alone with Song Jiayu in order to date Qiao Ruoxing.

Is Gu Jingyan stupid to leave the Song family's daughter and pester his divorced ex-wife?

But for him, it is naturally a good thing.

He immediately walked up to Song Jiayu and greeted Gu Jingyan with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, what a coincidence, are you going out for a date on Valentine's Day?"

He even directly pointed out Qiao Ruoxing's identity.

Qiao Ruoxing pursed her lips. She felt physically uncomfortable when she saw Gu Jingran.

His palms felt warm, Gu Jingyan opened her hands and interlocked his fingers with hers. The burning temperature passed from his palms to his heart, which suddenly gave her a lot of courage.

Gu Jingyan said lightly, "Didn't you take Miss Song to see the street lights?"

Gu Jingran raised the corners of his lips, "Why not see the lanterns? Why see the street lights? You celebrate the festival, and we celebrate the festival too."

Song Jiayu frowned, "Don't joke, Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingran shrugged, "Okay, isn't this what my brother asked? He gave you to me, so I have to take you to eat and have fun."

It would have been better if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Song Jiayu's lips pursed tighter.

Qiao Ruoxing, as a woman, can actually understand Song Jiayu's mood at the moment.

Song Jiayu obviously has a good impression of Gu Jingyan, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Gu Jingyan out on this holiday, and Gu Jingyan agreed to the other party, but called Gu Jingran to go on the date, while he was dating someone else.

This date was also discovered by Song Jiayu. From Song Jiayu's perspective, Gu Jingyan's behavior was particularly bad. She could not hold back her anger, which only showed that he was well-educated.

Of course, Qiao Ruoxing was the person involved in the incident, so she naturally could not be so kind.

Putting aside her perspective as an ex-wife, Gu Jingyan is indeed very attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex, and it is normal for girls to have a good impression of him.

But Song Jiayu, as a person she had rescued, showed a good impression of her ex-husband shortly after her divorce, which was really a bit uncomfortable.

No matter how unavoidable it is in the relationship, there must be the minimum moral restraint.

She did not want to characterize a person through one or two things, nor did she want to stay longer and embarrass the other party.

She pulled Gu Jingyan's hand and whispered, "Let's go."

Gu Jingyan said "OK" and then took Qiao Ruoxing away.

Song Jiayu looked at the familiar red bracelet on Qiao Ruoxing's wrist, and her fingers clenched suddenly.

Embarrassment and humiliation hit Song Jiayu's heart, and her face turned pale.

She dressed up carefully and went to the appointment, but Gu Jingyan kicked her to Gu Jingran.

She couldn't get through to Gu Jingyan, but she was still making up for him in her heart, thinking that he couldn't come because he had something to do, but she didn't expect that he was busy dating another woman.

Even if Gu Jingyan refused at the beginning, he wouldn't embarrass her so much.

From beginning to end, I'm afraid I was just a joke in the eyes of these two people.

Her self-esteem didn't allow her to question in that situation just now. That kind of questioning would only make her look more like a clown.

Gu Jingran looked at her expression and said slowly, "My eldest brother is a stubborn person. He will not change his mind easily when he decides on someone. You are so outstanding, there is no need to focus on him. You can look more at the people around you."

Song Jiayu glanced at him, "Gu Jingran, do you like me?"

Gu Jingran was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to ask so directly.

He nodded and said without hesitation, "I like it."

Song Jiayu smiled and said lightly, "If you didn't have such a strong perfume smell on you, I would probably believe it."

Gu Jingran paused, then smiled, "It's just a show."

Song Jiayu turned around and said as he walked, "This is why I won't choose you."

————

Because of meeting Gu Jingran, Qiao Ruoxing didn't want to go to fly the Kongming lantern as originally planned.

As soon as she got in the car, she urged Gu Jingyan to take her home quickly.

Gu Jingyan had no choice but to cancel the original plan and drive her home.

Halfway through the road, the sky suddenly dropped raindrops, and Gu Jingyan sped up the car.

The car arrived at the underground parking lot of Yunding International. Qiao Ruoxing unbuckled her seat belt and turned around and said, "Then I'll go back first."

Gu Jingyan also unbuckled his seat belt, "I'll take you upstairs."

"Goodbye, Xiaoxiao is still at home."

Gu Jingyan said, "She hasn't gone home yet."

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned, "How do you know--"

She was halfway through her words and suddenly asked suspiciously, "Did you ask Shen Qingchuan to send Xiaoxiao away?"

Gu Jingyan said calmly, "I guessed, Qingchuan's car was not in the parking space either."

Qiao Ruoxing turned around and saw that Shen Qingchuan's parking space was indeed empty.

"Let's go," Gu Jingyan, who had escaped a disaster, took her mask, "I'll take you upstairs."
