“Ah Yu, where are you all going?” After Xu Junde greeted them, his gaze fell on Guobaorou who Yan Jin was holding hands with, “This little girl is so cute, whose family is she from?”
Yu Shu naturally said, “This is our younger sister, coming to play at our place for a few days.”
This was the story he and Yan Jin had agreed on for outsiders.
Firstly, it could explain why a little girl suddenly appeared by their side; secondly, with a public identity, there would be a ready-made excuse when Guobaorou’s family came to take her back later.
Who knew that Guobaorou, eating a sugar-coated haw stick on the side, would scratch her little private part and say, “Father, am I not your daughter? How did I become an aunt?”
“Father?” Xu Junde teased, “Ah Yu, I didn’t expect your daughter to be so big already.”
“Ah De, don’t misunderstand.” Yu Shu felt his veins throbbing, “This child just learned to speak and is calling randomly.”
“I’m not calling randomly.” Guobaorou was a bit unconvinced, “It’s clearly Father who won’t acknowledge me.”
Xu Junde glanced at Yan Jin, then pulled Yu Shu to the side and whispered in his ear, “Young people in the heat of passion, losing control, this is all understandable. But if you’ve created a life, you can’t be soft-hearted. Since the child is born, it’s unacceptable if the other party doesn’t give you a title.”
“The child doesn’t know better, and you’re also blindly egging things on.” Yu Shu rolled his eyes, “Are we still friends or not.”
“Of course I know this isn’t your biological child. That’s why I wanted to test what Miss Yan Jin thinks of you.”
Yu Shu said puzzledly, “She considers me a friend, what other thoughts could she have?”
Xu Junde hit the nail on the head, “She considers you a friend, but do you really consider her just a friend?”
“…Ah De.” Yu Shu: “You don’t understand our matters.”
“I indeed don’t understand, but I’m your friend, that’s why I’m telling you these heartfelt words.” Xu Junde said with deep feeling, “You don’t even know how many people in Anping Square are eyeing Miss Yan Jin. If you’re not interested in her and just fear her as an older sister, then that’s fine. But now it’s clear you’re interested in her, so this relationship needs to be determined early.”
Yu Shu subconsciously looked towards Yan Jin, seeing that her gaze wasn’t on him at all. He pouted, “What ‘interested in her’? I’m not interested in her at all.”
Xu Junde’s gaze was penetrating, “If you’re not interested in her, why were you just looking at her?”
Yu Shu: “…I was just casually looking.”
Seeing Yu Shu a bit dejected, Xu Junde persuaded with bitter words, “In short, if Ah Yu you really want to be with her, you can’t be foolishly muddle-headed. The titles that should exist must exist.”
Considering Anguo’s societal nature, when Yan Jin saw that Xu Junde seemed to have something to say to Yu Shu, she consciously led Guobaorou to the side to wait for Yu Shu.
Yan Jin wasn’t the type to love gossip. So when she saw Yu Shu say goodbye to Xu Junde with a gloomy look, she hesitated for a bit but still couldn’t put her mind at ease about Yu Shu, so she asked, “What did you two just say? You don’t seem very happy?”
Yu Shu didn’t want to talk to Yan Jin about this, so he shook his head, “It’s nothing.”
Since Yu Shu already said it was nothing, Yan Jin also didn’t pry further. After an “oh”, she tossed the matter to the back of her mind.
Although Yu Shu didn’t want to let Yan Jin know about this matter, seeing Yan Jin’s attitude of not caring about anything, he felt a bit depressed, “If I don’t say it, Xiaoxiao, you really won’t ask?”
“If you wanted to say it, you would have said it just now.” Yan Jin: “But you didn’t say it just now, proving you don’t want to let me know. Then why should I make things difficult for you?”
Although this made sense, Yu Shu still felt a bit depressed. How come Yan Jin had no curiosity at all about his matters, “If you don’t keep asking, how do you know I won’t say it?”
Seeing that Yu Shu seemed to really want to let her know what happened, Yan Jin accommodated, “Then tell me, I want to hear it.”
“You don’t really want to hear it, you’re just coaxing me.” Yu Shu glanced at Yan Jin, “If you don’t want to hear then don’t. I don’t feel like saying it anymore.”
After saying that, Yu Shu walked ahead by himself without looking back.
Yan Jin hadn’t had time to react when Guobaorou beside her sighed like a little adult.
“What are you, a child, sighing for?” Yan Jin couldn’t help but look at Guobaorou, “Are you also unhappy?”
Guobaorou: “I’m not unhappy, I’m just feeling fortunate that I’m a child.”
Yan Jin was curious, “Why do you suddenly say that?”
“Coaxing men is too hard,” Guobaorou patted her little chest, “Luckily I’m still a child.”
“You may have misunderstood.” Yan Jin tidied the messy hair beside Guobaorou’s cheeks and said seriously, “I wasn’t coaxing him just now.”
