Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

She imagined countless reasons, but not once had she thought the reason might be this.

After all, he had killed someone’s son…

He was merely asked to apologize. Wasn’t this considered a significant concession already?

Seems like she still didn’t understand Helian Niancheng’s line of thinking.

Seeing the complex expression on Gu Qingjiu’s face, he asked in a lowered voice, “Why? Did you think I did something wrong? Or are you afraid?”

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “I don’t think you were in the wrong. But from your viewpoint, I’m not afraid either.”

How could she possibly fear Helian Niancheng?

Hearing this, he smiled. “Mm. Shortly after, we’ll be moving to our new home. I hope you like it.”

When she heard they were about to move into their new home, Gu Qingjiu blushed involuntarily. Just then, Helian Niancheng’s thin lips pressed closer to hers…

…

During the weekend, just like they had agreed on, Gu Qingjiu asked Gu Qingmo and his girlfriend to come out. But Gu Qingmo told her something somewhat surprising.

“Qingjiu, I’ve told you about that dorm mate of mine Qi Yefan, right? He’s also your dorm mate’s older brother. It seems like he fought with his younger sister. Can you ask his younger sister to come out today as well?”

Gu Qingjiu frowned slightly. “Xiaoran? I’m not sure if she’s around right now. I’ve got to call her. As her older brother, why didn’t he coax her?”

“From how I see it, it was quite a severe argument. No idea. I’ve always thought that things were strange between this pair of siblings. Just do me this favour and ask her to come out for a meal, see if they can patch things up.”

Strange?

Seems like she wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

Her older brother, too.

“Okay, I’ll call her and see if she’s around.”

Gu Qingjiu had never called Qi Xiaoran in private, but she knew her phone number.

Just in case there was a need to contact her in cases of emergency.

They were dorm mates, after all.

She hadn’t expected to need this one day.

After it rang twice, she picked up. “Hello?”

Qi Xiaoran’s voice sounded relatively low, as though she wasn’t sure who the caller was.

“Xiaoran, it’s Qingjiu.”

Gu Qingjiu identified herself. Qi Xiaoran sounded relieved. “Oh, Qingjiu, what’s the matter?”

“I’m giving a treat this afternoon, to celebrate my winning first place in the shooting competition. Do you want to join us?”

“…Where?”

To her surprise, Qi Xiaoran accepted it immediately.

“In the capital. I’ll send you the address.”

“Are you asking Gu Qian and Chu Lian along?”

Qi Xiaoran sounded sceptical. Gu Qingjiu let out a burst of silent laughter.

Her intention was to treat her dorm mates separately after she got back. But since Qi Yefan would be around, she should probably bring Qi Xiaoran along.

But she couldn’t tell her that her older brother would be there.

“Err… yeah, I will. Do you have time to come over?”

Gu Qingjiu naturally played along.

Qi Xiaoran fell silent for a moment, then responded a few seconds later. “Okay. I’m in the capital right now, not far away.”

Gu Qingjiu raised her brows. “Then you can just come over. We’ll be waiting for you.”

After telling Qi Xiaoran about the address, Gu Qingjiu hung up the phone.

She texted Gu Qingmo, ‘Done. Qi Xiaoran is coming over right now.’

‘Okay. I’ll get Wange and Qi Yefan to come over.’

Gu Qingjiu didn’t mind treating two more people to a meal.

She could afford to be wilful with the prize money she won.
