Translator: 549690339 I
Gu Qichen asked, “What’s wrong with Xiao Han?”
Gu Mingzhu spoke blandly, “Hasn’t he always been ?”
Gu Qichen said, “I feel like he’s been a bit different lately. Has something happened?”
Gu Mingzhu was casual about it: “He’s an adolescent boy; acting a bit strange is not unusual. Besides, you’re his idol. He’s always held himself to your standards, so I’m not worried. With an excellent uncle like you, my son won’t be far behind.”
However, Xia Yangyang felt uneasy.
Because Xia Yangyang thought that Gu Zhaohan’s sudden change of demeanor could very likely be because of her.
After all, she was an outsider who had suddenly intruded into this family.
Moreover, she was his age, even several months younger, yet she now awkwardly found herself his young aunt.
She had stolen his attention and overstepped him in the family hierarchy.
Just now as Gu Mingzhu said, Gu Qichen was his idol, and yet she had seized his idol’s attention.
Any person would feel off-balance in such a situation.
Before this, Xia Yangyang felt that she and Gu Zhaohan were friends.
But his sudden coldness now could only be due to this reason.
Xia Yangyang felt the necessity to talk to him, to tell him that she couldn’t take his uncle’s love for him away.
So that night, when Gu Mingzhu had prepared a fruit platter,
And asked a maid to send it to Gu Zhaohan’s room, Xia Yangyang volunteered: “I’ll deliver it.”
Carrying the fruit platter up to Gu Zhaohan’s room, Xia Yangyang felt somewhat nervous…
Still, Xia Yangyang knocked on the door.
Xia Yangyang knocked again…
Finally, the door suddenly swung open.
Gu Zhaohan appeared at the doorway, cold as an iceberg.
However, seeing Xia Yangyang standing at his door, he faltered a bit.
Xia Yangyang quickly put on a smile, “Gu-classmate, I’ve brought you some fruit.”
She had called him Xiao Han in the morning which had annoyed him.
This time Xia Yangyang was smarter and addressed him formally.
As equals, he shouldn’t be upset, right?
Indeed, this time, Gu Zhaohan’s face didn’t darken further.
Yet he asked indifferently, “Did you just come to bring me fruit?”
Xia Yangyang said, “Actually… there’s something else I wanted to talk to you about.”
Gu Zhaohan’s expression subtly shifted.
Then he opened the door wider, “Come in.”
Xia Yangyang went into Gu Zhaohan’s room.
Once inside, Xia Yangyang almost thought she had entered the wrong place.
Gu Zhaohan’s room was almost identical to Gu Qichen’s.
A large bed, a tall bookshelf that reached the ceiling, a full-length glass window.
Xia Yangyang thought to herself.
Gu Qichen really was his idol; even the room was decorated identically.
How much must Gu Zhaohan be idolizing Gu Qichen?
Xia Yangyang set the fruit platter down, saying, “I noticed you didn’t eat much tonight…”
Gu Zhaohan cut her off coldly, “Just say what you have to say.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to beat around the bush, so she got straight to the point. “Gu Zhaohan, your uncle still loves you very much. Even though he married me, it won’t change anything. You two are relatives by blood; I can never replace you in his heart. Besides, now you haven’t lost an uncle, but gained an aunt. From now on, we will be a family, and I’ll love you just like your uncle does.”
Xia Yangyang let out all the words she had wanted to say in one breath.
However, Xia Yangyang found that after her words, Gu Zhaohan’s face turned completely gloomy..
