Free Web NovelChapter 168: Chapter 168: Farewell
Yiyi felt she was being a bit dramatic, but she couldn’t deny that she was delighted to hear Gu Tingyu say that, "Sure, let’s head to Houhai right now."
However, Gu Tingyu was not planning to go, and Shu Yunfang came over by herself. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Brother Tingyu, have you finished eating?"
Song Weili glanced at Yiyi and asked, "Yiyi, where are you planning to go after dinner?" Since Mo Yiyi had acknowledged the Song couple as her godparents, she was indeed her cousin according to family ties.
"We’re just going for a casual walk."
Yiyi said casually, not intending to say more. She glanced at the dishes on Shu Yunfang and Song Weili’s table and couldn’t help but comment, "I see you haven’t finished eating yet. You better go back and continue. I’ll leave with Gu Tingyu now." After saying that, she pulled Gu Tingyu and left.
Seeing Yiyi and Gu Tingyu’s intimate behavior, Shu Yunfang had a smile on her face, but there was an icy chill in her eyes.
Song Weili’s expression was also not very pleasant. She felt that Mo Yiyi didn’t really care about her, her god-cousin. Clenching her fists, she took a few deep breaths before forcing a smile and saying to Shu Yunfang, "Yunfang, let’s eat first, or the dishes will get cold."
"Sure."
Shu Yunfang smiled slightly, making it hard to read her emotions.
On the other side, after Yiyi pulled Gu Tingyu out, she couldn’t help but glare at him.
Gu Tingyu found her glare bewildering, "What’s wrong, Yiyi? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"It’s all because of you."
Gu Tingyu looked confused, "How come? I don’t think I did anything to upset you."
Seeing Gu Tingyu’s expression, Yiyi knew he hadn’t understood and candidly said, "I don’t like other women appearing around you." Since she had already set her heart on him, she hoped they could be each other’s one and only; she didn’t want to see different women around Gu Tingyu.
Taking this chance, she revealed her thoughts completely.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyu finally understood. He gave Yiyi a deep look and said, "So that’s what upsets you. Don’t worry, I’m really not that familiar with Shu Yunfang. We only played together as kids, but back then, all the kids in the yard played together. By middle and high school, we lost touch."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi’s face finally showed a smile, and she happily went to Houhai with Gu Tingyu.
Seeing Yiyi happy, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but smile.
So she was a little jealous.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with laughter. It seemed Yiyi had a strong sense of possession over him, showing she felt differently than just friends. It was good to know they both had feelings for each other; he was worried she would dislike him after what happened before, but it seemed he had worried unnecessarily.
Since the previous incident of offending the girl, he was determined to take responsibility, but back then, Yiyi refused him. He didn’t bring it up again, just planned to slowly gain the girl’s favor, hoping they could naturally be together.
"Yiyi, don’t worry, there won’t be any other women around me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi glanced at him and said, "That’s good."
When they arrived at Houhai, Gu Tingyu took Yiyi around.
On the other side, Song Weili returned home and her face was grim as she went back to the yard where she lived.
"Miss Weili, the Old Lady asked to see you when you come back."
Upon hearing this from the people around the Old Lady, Song Weili quickly tidied up and headed towards the main house, "Grandma, you wanted to see me."
"Yes, Weili, you finally came back."
Old Mrs. Song smiled broadly upon seeing Song Weili, "Where did you go today? Why are you back so late?"
"I went to eat with Yunfang."
Old Mrs. Song nodded, saying, "Yunfang is a good person. It’s good to interact with her more."
Song Weili responded with a smile.
She understood her grandmother’s intentions; Shu Yunfang was treasured by the Shu Family, and many people wanted to befriend her. Song Weili felt fortunate to call her a friend. Old Mrs. Song hoped she could enter Shangjing’s circle of wealthy young women because of Yunfang, yet over the years, those snobby socialites still remained indifferent towards her.
Thinking of these made Song Weili feel a bit down, then she mentioned Yiyi.
"Today when I was eating with Yunfang, I ran into my cousin Yiyi. But it seemed she didn’t remember me; I greeted her, but she ignored me."
"What..."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Song frowned deeply, "You’ve just met before, how could she not know you? I think she became arrogant because of her status as A Chi’s goddaughter. Next time she visits, I’ll see if she still recognizes me as her god-grandmother." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Song Weili quickly said, "Grandma, please don’t. If Uncle Song Chi gets upset, it wouldn’t be good."
"Hmph... I want to see if Song Chi is on my side as his mother, or hers as his newly acknowledged goddaughter."
Hearing this, Song Weili said no more and quickly talked about interesting stories.
After Yiyi and Gu Tingyu finished their visit to Houhai, they went back. When they arrived at the Chu family, Gu Tingyu hesitated a moment before finally raising his hand to pat Yiyi’s hair, saying, "When you and Aunt Ding are leaving, I’ll take you."
Feeling the warmth on her head, Yiyi couldn’t help but look straight at Gu Tingyu, her eyes full of mischievous laughter.
"Alright, get inside quickly."
Gu Tingyu felt a bit embarrassed being looked at by Yiyi; he quickly patted her head and encouraged her to go in.
With a sweet smile, Yiyi happily turned and went indoors. She was genuinely surprised that her trip to Shangjing had an unexpected gain - discovering Gu Tingyu’s distinct attitude towards her, so future matters might just unfold smoothly.
Ding Yuejun saw her daughter return joyously and couldn’t help but ask, "Where did you go today, looking so happy?"
"We went to the Forbidden City and Houhai. Mom, you should’ve joined us; it’s really worth the visit."
Ding Yuejun shook her head upon hearing this and said, "I won’t join you youngsters; it’s better for you to go on your own." She thought, luckily she didn’t go, or she’d have been the third wheel.
"By the way, Yiyi, we’ll be returning tomorrow afternoon, so we’re going to the Song Family in the morning to say goodbye to your godfather and godmother."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi didn’t object and nodded, saying, "Alright, then we’ll go over tomorrow morning."
The next day, Ding Yuejun took Yiyi directly to the Song Family.
"Yue Jun, Yiyi, you’re here. Come on in and sit." Song Xiaoqing was very happy to see them, warmly welcoming them.
