Chapter 54 -054 Are You Regretting Now?_1
Even someone as patient as Gu Xiaorou could not maintain her composure at this point.
Qin Yao’s gaze had been glued to Gong Xiaoqiao all night; it seemed he had even lost the rationality to disguise his interest in her presence.
In comparison, Gu Hangshen was more insidious.
Even if his attention was entirely on someone, he would never let anyone detect a flaw.
Except, of course, for the group of four who were used to keeping a close watch on the BOSS’s movements.
Shen Letian, once he got hold of some gossip, would even go so far as to tally up how many times the BOSS glanced at the little fox in one night, how long each look lasted, and how many glasses he crushed throughout the evening -_-|||…
“Qin Yao, do you have regrets?” Gu Xiaorou asked, her head lowered, twisting her fingers forlornly and uneasily.
“Why would I? Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Sad-eyed, Gu Xiaorou looked up at him, “Xiaoqiao has become so beautiful now, her singing so pleasant, and she has even learned to dance. But as for my health, let alone dancing, I can’t even run… I…”
Qin Yao sighed softly and pulled her into his embrace, “Xiaorou, don’t think nonsense! All you need to do is peacefully wait to become my bride!”
“Really? Qin Yao, will you despise me? Will you regret your choice back then?”
Those pitiable, delicate, watery eyes brimming with tears yet to fall, looking at you so timorously and insecurely… probably no man could resist, nor could bear to hurt.

“Silly girl, of course not…” Qin Yao’s voice was somewhat distant.
He suddenly recalled Gong Xiaoqiao’s words: Because she’s prettier than me, gentler than me, more outstanding than me, even more pitiable than me. In the end, I even lost your sympathy to her…
Upon hearing Qin Yao’s response, Gu Xiaorou hugged him, her mouth curving into a satisfied smile.
After the banquet ended, Gong Xiaoqiao changed back into her own clothes, ready to leave, but was stopped by the Gu family’s butler, who said that the elder Mr. and Mrs. Gu wanted to see her.
“Auntie, Uncle…” Gong Xiaoqiao knocked and entered.
“Xiaoqiao! Come, come, sit down!”
“Is there something you needed to see me for, Auntie?” Gong Xiaoqiao asked.
“No, no, just wanted to have a little chat, see how you’ve been lately.”
“Well, I’ve been quite good.”
Mrs. Gu chatted amiably, while Gong Xiaoqiao patiently waited for what was to come.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Gu’s expression seemed a bit troubled, hesitating before speaking, “You know, your sister and Hangshen grew up together, and their feelings for each other have always been good, and they’re well-matched, inevitably they will get married sooner or later…”
“Mm.”
Mrs. Gu urged with her eyes the silent Mr. Gu beside her, seemingly blaming him for not helping, leaving her to face this alone.
Gong Xiaoqiao understood immediately and smiled, “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be starting my internship in my senior year next year, and I’ve recently found a job that requires me to spend some time in D city. After returning, I plan to rent my own place to live. Thank you, Uncle, Auntie, and brother Hangshen for your care over these years!”
Upon hearing this, the elder Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s expressions immediately relaxed.
“All by yourself? How could your family be at ease with that!”
No sooner had Mrs. Gu spoken did she realize she had misspoken and awkwardly added, “Did you discuss this with your grandfather? It’s not easy for a girl like you to work out of town! Why not let Hangshen arrange a job for you in their company? It would be nice, and you could stay at the staff dormitory!”
Gong Xiaoqiao knew that Mrs. Gu’s words were just polite remarks and shook her head, “I’ve already been quite a burden to brother Hangshen, from now on I want to rely on myself.”
“If you ever need anything, you must tell Auntie, don’t struggle all by yourself!” Seeing how sensible Gong Xiaoqiao was, the elder Gu couple felt a bit guilty for their unnecessary worries.
Actually, the child wasn’t bad, it’s just a pity that, bearing the status of an illegitimate daughter, she was destined not to be accepted by this circle.
