Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 149: Family Members, Gathered Together (4)

Gu Shouyan wasn’t mad upon hearing her husband and younger brother’s words, but she darted her gaze towards Gu Qingjiu.

Sitting on a single-seater sofa next to Gu Hong, Gu Qingjiu started paring fruits.

Gu Xiaoxi pounced over and grabbed Gu Qingjiu’s legs. “Sister, I want to eat that.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded and moved her away. “Okay, Sister will prepare it for you. But you shouldn’t stay so close to Sister because I’m holding a knife. You might get hurt by accident.”

Gu Xiaoxi obediently nodded, and she then retreated two steps.

After Gu Qingjiu had cut the apple, she handed half to Gu Xiaoxi.

By then, lunch was nearly ready. Qi Yuefeng, who was carrying the dishes from the kitchen, glanced at Gu Qingjiu and threw her a look.

Gu Qingjiu immediately followed her to the kitchen.

“We told your great aunt about you joining the military earlier in the morning. She disagrees as well; hence, whatever your great aunt says later, just let her be. In any case, we still support your decision, if that’s what you really want.”

Perhaps Qi Yuefeng heard Gu Shouyan’s words when she was in the kitchen earlier on.

The corners of Gu Qingjiu’s lips arched up; listening to such heartwarming words warmed up her heart.

“Mm. Mom, I know.”

She helped bring out the utensils and bowls, and Gu Xiaoxi too bounced away to call Gu Qingmo and Yao Yanshen for lunch.

...

“Aiyoh. Qingjiu truly underwent a great transformation in the military!”

At the dining table, Yao Yanshen exclaimed such a sentence. In the past, he pretty much ignored Gu Qingjiu, but now he even took the initiative to talk about her.

Humans are like that. Gu Qingjiu secretly mused in her heart; but then, she didn’t feel it was wrong or anything.

He was merely superficial.

And he wasn’t abominable or anything. After all, there wasn’t any feud between him and Gu Qingjiu.

“I’m so sick of hearing this.”

Gu Qingmo laughed exaggeratedly as she looked towards Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu smiled lightly but said nothing.

However, after he had said that line, the topic quickly switched to something else at the dining table.

It was something Gu Qingjiu was concerned about too—Gu Qingmo’s girlfriend.

Her great aunt’s husband was the one who brought it up.

Hearing his girlfriend mentioned, Gu Qingmo smiled involuntarily. “Great Uncle, soon. I estimate she’ll be back during summer break, and I can then bring her home. Let me tell you guys, my girlfriend is pretty, sensible, and capable!”

“Look at you, at the mention of your girlfriend you’re grinning from ear to ear,” Qi Yuefeng said. “Since she’s so capable, why aren’t you even showing Mom a photo when I asked for it?”

Gu Qingmo had even asked Gu Qingjiu to help him hide the fact that he had a girlfriend. But then again, he was still the one who couldn’t hold himself back from hiding from his parents when he called his girlfriend at home. It was Gu Hong who first sensed it, and in the end, Gu Qingmo confessed about his girlfriend.

Gu Hong knowing such a secret was equivalent to the entire Gu family knowing.

Hence, even his great uncle asked about it.

“Mom, my girlfriend is a little shy. I’ve just started dating her, so it’s a little inappropriate to send you her photo now. Just wait a little longer. I think I can bring her back home soon and introduce you guys to her during the summer break.”

Gu Qingmo was at an appropriate age to be dating, so his family supported his doing so as well. Qi Yuefeng was naturally curious about how his son’s girlfriend looked.

But she couldn’t do anything about it since her son refused to show her photo.

At the dining table, after Gu Qingjiu’s topic passed, they began teasing Gu Qingmo.

Even the usually stern Gu Shouyan wore a smile on her face.

Looking at their smiley faces, Gu Qingjiu felt satisfaction in her heart.

Days like this were truly wonderful.
