"There's really no need." Qiqi shook her little head and said to Mrs. Gu, "Grandma, why did you call my mommy your granddaughter-in-law when you saw her just now?"
As soon as this question came out, Xiaotang also raised his head and looked at Old Mrs. Gu eagerly.
No matter how smart the two of them are, the tension in their eyes cannot be hidden. Old Mrs. Gu thought of something and said tentatively, "Because I want her to be my granddaughter-in-law. Do you agree?"
When Qiqi and Xiaotang heard this, they immediately shook their heads, and their resistant attitude made her heart sink.
"Why don't you want to?" Old Mrs. Gu asked.
Before Xiaotang could say anything, Qiqi rushed to answer, "Uncle Gu can't do it. He's too cruel and won't be nice to Mommy, and we have to find our own father."
So grandma, please don’t take any chances with Mommy.
Qiqi added silently in her heart.
In fact, logically speaking, she hadn't verified the relationship between the two children and Gu Jingting, so she shouldn't be so anxious, but Mrs. Gu liked them from the bottom of her heart when she saw them.
She hugged the two children and silently despised Gu Jingting in her heart.
A useless brat who works all day long and can't even take care of a child, so she has to step in and help.
"How could it be? My grandson is usually too busy taking care of the company, so he keeps a cold face all day long. When you get to know him better in the future, you will find that he is different," Mrs. Gu said.
Qiqi and Xiaotang turned their heads simultaneously.
Later, no matter how Mrs. Gu asked for the reason or tried to pry open their mouths to hear the truth, it didn't work. After asking too many questions, the two of them tried to escape.
She had no choice but to give up for the time being and lead them to play something else.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Jingting finally came back from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw three people sitting on the sofa having fun, and his eyes showed surprise.
He originally thought that Mrs. Gu was the only uninvited guest, but it turned out that Song Qiao also brought her children. In an instant, he understood why her voice was so nervous when she called him. This situation was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Gu Jingting took off his coat and walked to the sofa, "Grandma, why are you here today?"
Underneath his suit was a smoky gray shirt with a well-cut design that outlined his figure very well. As he moved around, his long legs were clearly visible.
Now that Mrs. Gu thought about how her two children rejected him, she hated the iron in her heart. She glared at Gu Jingting angrily and said, "If I don't come over and take a look, who knows what your life will be like?"
Gu Jingting took the blame for some reason and was a little dazed. He frowned and said, "I'm fine like this."
"I can't see." Old Mrs. Gu said.
Gu Jingting couldn't figure out where the old lady's anger came from, so he simply changed the subject, "I'll take you back first, it's getting late."
With her around, Song Qiao would definitely feel uncomfortable later in the evening.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, her anger rose, "Okay, my old lady took the trouble to come over to see you, and now she doesn't even give you time to have a meal, so you are going to drive me away?"
"Your food is so expensive that I can't even eat it now?"
Gu Jingting felt a headache after hearing this, rubbed his head and said, "What are you talking about? Of course you can stay and eat if you want, but I'm worried that you will go back too late and won't be able to rest well."
The old lady's schedule has always been to go to bed at eight/nine o'clock.
"It doesn't matter, I can just catch up on some sleep during the day."
Old Mrs. Gu had made up her mind to eat here. Gu Jingting wanted to drive people away, but that was completely impossible.
Just as he continued to think of a solution, Song Qiao came out with the braised eggplant. He saw Gu Jingting standing beside the sofa, smiled and said, "You are back? You just happened to wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Gu Jingting looked back at her, stunned for a moment.
Probably for convenience, Song Qiao wore a casual long-sleeved suit and pants. Her hair was gently pulled back, with two strands falling in front of her forehead as she moved.
The hair gently brushed her cheeks, outlining a touch of tenderness.
He was still in a daze, but Mrs. Gu had already stood up happily, "Hey, okay, it's a rare opportunity to eat the food you cooked. I have to try it today."
She held a child in each hand and walked to the bathroom.
Song Qiao originally wanted to go by himself, but after looking at the old lady's nimble steps, he thought for a while and said nothing, and returned to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Just as he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and turned around, Song Qiao ran into someone's arms.
She raised her head and met Gu Jingting's deep gaze, "Why did you come in?"
"I'll come in and wash my hands." Gu Jingting said as he rolled up his sleeves. Without going around Song Qiao, he directly stretched out his hands and put them under the faucet from her waist to start washing.
This movement almost lifted Song Qiao into his arms.
The scent that belongs only to men surrounded him from all directions, forming an airtight cage, trapping Song Qiao inside, and the sound of gurgling water amplified infinitely in his ears.
"You, please give way first, I have to go out with the dishes and chopsticks." Song Qiao said with difficulty.
"It'll be ready soon. The kitchen is a bit small, I'm sorry." As Gu Jingting spoke, his warm breath sprayed on her neck, densely covering it, causing goosebumps to appear on Song Qiao's skin.
Song Qiao's head was stimulated and he was a little dizzy, but after hearing these words, he suddenly woke up.
She looked speechlessly at the kitchen, which could accommodate almost ten more people, and admired Gu Jingting's ability to tell lies.
"Mr. Gu, they will be back later. If they are seen, there is no explanation." Song Qiao hugged the bowl and reached out to push Gu Jingting, "If you feel that the kitchen is crowded, just walk out first."
Gu Jingting lowered his head and saw Song Qiao's resolute attitude. He paused for a moment, then stood up straight and gave way.
The moment the distance between the two grew wider, Song Qiao's whole body came to life. She took a deep breath and hurriedly left the kitchen without looking back, holding the bowl and chopsticks in her arms.
The attitude of avoiding Gu Jingting made him silent for a moment.
He lowered his head, turned off the water, slowly shook off the water drops in his hands, and walked outside.
When I walked to the dining table, there were already four dishes and one soup on it, including braised eggplant, steamed sea bass and two vegetarian dishes. The soup was corn ribs soup.
Before I even sat down to eat, the aroma of the food had already reached my nose.
Song Qiao caught a glimpse of Gu Jingting approaching from the corner of her eye, subconsciously took two steps to the side, distanced herself from him, and put the rice she had just served on the table.
"Are you hungry? Sit down and eat first." She looked at Gu Jingting with concern on her face.
This look that made it impossible to find fault almost made Gu Jingting laugh angrily.
Okay, the acting got to him.
Gu Jingting did not accept the move and directly placed the bowls and chopsticks on the opposite side, "It doesn't matter. I'm not hungry yet. I can help you first. After all, you have worked hard to cook."
