In the end, Gu Xiaoai didn't make the call and climbed into bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoai was woken up by her aunt to make breakfast. Gu Xiaoai yawned and finished washing up. She had obviously always had enough sleep, but she was getting more and more sleepy.
This has never happened before. Should she go to the hospital for a checkup?
Just as the meal was halfway done, Gu Xiaoai heard her aunt's flattering voice shrilly outside, "Are you the only son of the Chu family? Oh, look, the Gu family is in decline, but your family is getting better and better.
It’s great, what a talented person…”
Chu Shixiu is here?!
Gu Xiaoai even forgot to put down the shovel and walked out of the kitchen. She saw Chu Shixiu and his aunt standing in the courtyard talking.
Seeing her coming out, the smile on Chu Shixiu's face froze, and he looked at the shovel in her hand, the aunt-style apron on her waist, the sleeves on her arms, and the cheap skirt in surprise...
Is she cooking?
After realizing Chu Shixiu's unexpected gaze, Gu Xiaoai lowered her head in embarrassment, hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, put down the shovel, and took off her apron and sleeves.
"Xiao Ai, Shixiu wants to take you out, go, go, go."
The aunt shouted loudly, and soon walked in and looked her up and down, "You can't tell, you are pretty good at hooking up with men. This Chu Shixiu has a much better temper. She is pretty good as a mistress for such a man...
…Go quickly, walk quickly, you won’t be able to leave when your uncle gets up..."
…
"I'm not his lover."
"Tch, do you really think you are nothing? He can still marry you?!"
"..."
Gu Xiaoai did not continue to argue with her aunt. Anyway, if she argued again, she would just ask her aunt to use more unpleasant words.
Gu Xiaoai took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. Chu Shixiu still stood there like a gentleman. The shock on his face was gone, and he smiled at her, "Let's go."
"Um."
Gu Xiaoai nodded. After getting into Chu Shixiu's car, Gu Xiaoai was hesitant about how to talk about not answering his call yesterday, "Axiu, last night I..."
"How about I take you to see the houses in the city?" Chu Shixiu interrupted her gently and drove the car onto the road, "Your father is about to be released from prison. A friend of mine has a newly renovated three-bedroom apartment.
