"This must be Su's nephew." Gu's mother naturally pulled Xiaoman aside, took Su Lishen's hand with the loving care of an elder, and looked him up and down with delight. "Indeed, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as your mother's when she was young."
Su Lishen gave his mother, who was lying in the hospital bed, a questioning look. A blush appeared on his mother's pale face. "Shen Shen, this is your aunt. Why don't you recognize her?"
The saying goes, "A distant relative is like a thousand miles away," but who knows how far this relationship has gone? Especially when he heard Gu Lang call the woman who was holding his hand "Mom," Su Lishen felt uneasy.
He had secretly sent Qin Xiaoman an email, subtly expressing his desire to rekindle their relationship, but the email seemed to disappear without a trace. He was completely baffled. During their time together, Xiaoman had been a frequent email reader, rarely missing even a spam email. Why was she silent this time? After much agonizing, Su Lishen suddenly realized he needed to be more proactive. However, before he could even begin his pursuit, Old Master Shen used a fabricated reason to deport him abroad. If his mother hadn't twisted her ankle going down the stairs, he probably would have spent the year overseas.
Seeing the three young people staring at each other, Gu's mother took Su's mother's hand and laughed, "Look, look, we haven't been in touch for so long, we don't even recognize these younger ones."
Gu Lang frowned. So, this kid was the distant relative his parents were talking about? He'd never heard of him before. And look at Xiaoman, head down, looking so pathetic! What's there to be embarrassed about?
"Hello, Auntie." Gu Lang took Qin Xiaoman's hand and greeted her respectfully. Qin Xiaoman kept her head down, not daring to lift her eyelids even slightly.
"Isn't this Xiaoman?" Su's mother asked with great surprise.
"Hello, Auntie," Qin Xiaoman replied weakly.
Gu's mother raised her delicate eyebrows. "Young lady, do you know my Xiaoman?"
Su's mother was surprised, "Is Xiaoman also a child from our family?" As she spoke, she stared at Xiaoman as if she were a treasure, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. "Come, sit here, let Auntie take a good look at you."
Xiaoman obediently sat down, but Gu Lang reluctantly let go of her hand.
"You're getting more and more beautiful, my child." Su's mother lovingly touched Qin Xiaoman's face, then touched her long, black, shiny, and smooth hair that had grown past her shoulders. "Your hair has grown so long. Hmm, Xiaoman looks better with long hair."
Su Lishen seized the opportunity to flatter, "Xiaoman, it's so good to see you. My mother hasn't been this happy in a long time." He looked somewhat choked up, "It's all my fault, I haven't taken good care of my mother as her son."
Qin Xiaoman's sympathy overflowed instantly, and she didn't care about being embarrassed anymore. She immediately expressed her willingness, "Auntie, if you like, I will come to see you every day."
Mother Su's eyes narrowed into slits with joy as she patted her daughter's hand, "That's wonderful. You're such a thoughtful child." She glanced at her son and said regretfully, "It's a pity my son isn't blessed."
Su Lishen seized the opportunity and gave Xiaoman a hot, longing look.
Gu Lang was annoyed to find two suspicious blushes rising from her cheeks and meandering down to her fair earlobes.
Su's mother was in a great mood because of the arrival of the Gu family, and at noon she urged Su Lishen to treat everyone to a meal. Although Gu Lang was unwilling, he had no choice but to submit to the tyranny of his parents.
Little Swan's hot pot has always been Qin Xiaoman's favorite. Staring at the layer of red chili oil in the yin-yang pot, her saliva began to flow incessantly.
Su Lishen carefully helped his mother to her seat and thoughtfully prepared the broth for the elderly women, dipping it in sesame sauce and placing it on their plates.
As the youngest and least experienced person at the table, Xiaoman could eat without a care in the world. Basically, when there was something good to eat, her mouth did nothing but chew.
Su Li poured Gu Lang a glass of wine. "Please, cousin."
Gu Lang politely drank it, saying, "You're too kind, cousin."
Qin Xiaoman, her mouth smeared with sauce, glanced at the two men through the rising steam. Seeing their relaxed conversation and friendly exchange of drinks, she felt a pang of disappointment. No, no, they should be rivals, their eyes blazing with jealousy. Their friendly interaction could only mean she, Qin Xiaoman, wasn't charming enough. Or perhaps, as she stared blankly at Gu Lang, biting her chopsticks, he didn't care about her that much? Or, Qin Xiaoman's old-fashioned thoughts surfaced—hearing them calling each other "brother" so warmly, could it be that they had feelings for each other?
Gu Lang flicked her forehead. "What are you thinking about?" The tap was a bit too hard, and Qin Xiaoman rubbed it in dissatisfaction. Violence! There was still some sauce on her lips, and her coquettish look ignited a raging fire in Su Lishen's eyes. For the thousandth and first time, he regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have been so unrestrained and let such a lovely girl slip away.
Gu Lang turned to the side, blocking the unwelcome gaze of a certain predator, and peeled shrimp for Qin Xiaoman. The tender, fresh shrimp meat, dipped in a mellow and slightly spicy sauce, was fed to her mouth by her beloved man. Xiaoman's heart felt as if it had been doused with honey; a thick, irresistible happiness welled up inside her.
Having eaten too much, Xiaoman felt thirsty and picked up her wine glass to gulp it down. Gu Lang stopped her from drinking, saying, "Why don't you know how to drink?" He turned to the waitress standing behind him and ordered, "Bring two glasses of soda water."
The waitress went away blushing.
Qin Xiaoman glanced at Gu Lang with a sour look. Men who are too handsome are just not safe.
Besides two bottles of soda water, a fruit platter was also presented. The waitress said shyly, "Sir, this is a complimentary gift from our store."
"Thank you." Gu Lang's lips curved into a charming smile, and the young lady clutched her heart and took a step back. "No, it's alright."
Qin Xiaoman was displeased. How could he flirt with her man right in front of her? Besides, Gu Lang was too shameless. The male lead should be cold and indifferent to everyone else, only revealing his true feelings to the female lead.
Su Li sighed and ate his food dejectedly. Qin Xiaoman was kept at arm's length by Gu Lang; he couldn't reach her.
When Gu Lang got home that evening, he had just put one foot inside when a flying pillow hit him in the face.
Despite his considerable martial arts skills, Lang repeatedly suffered setbacks at her hands. His face darkened, and he demanded, "What are you doing?"
Qin Xiaoman angrily shouted at him in a low voice, "Don't think I didn't see it! When you left, that waiter touched your hand!"
"So what?" Gu Lang retorted sarcastically. When the party ended, Su Lishen, taking advantage of his proximity to the coat rack, grabbed Qin Xiaoman's coat and put it on her. Damn woman, she has no sense of self-respect when it comes to refusing! "She couldn't wait to go home after just talking to someone, how casual of her!"
"How dare you say that to me?" Qin Xiaoman was furious, her chest heaving with anger. "You're the one who's promiscuous, you heartless lecher!"
Gu Lang crossed his arms, leaned against the door, and looked down at the angry little woman. "Besides you, I have never brought any other woman home."
What is this? Does he think he's so pure? How dare he call her promiscuous and slander her! Qin Xiaoman exploded, "You have no idea how many women you've slept with, what difference does it make whether you bring them home or not?"
Gu Langqing retorted with a stern face, "Then why didn't you still come with me?"
Qin Xiaoman's face turned ashen. He... he actually hurt her like that?
Gu Lang stared fiercely at her hair, his heart a jumble of conflicting emotions. Qin Xiaoman had always cherished her hair, and she had actually cut it off just because that bastard Su Lishen said he "liked girls with short hair"? Who gave her permission to be so spineless? This was such a shameless way to date! He hated himself even more; without his knowledge, his precious girl had been bullied by that scoundrel.
"Langlang, what's wrong? Aren't you asleep yet?" Gu's mother's voice came from the master bedroom.
"I'm going to sleep now," Gu Lang replied, closing the door and turning off the main light.
