"Alright," Gu Liancheng laughed heartily from the bottom of his heart, "Aunt Fang must be laughing at us."
She couldnāt bear to part with him, and how could he bear to part with her?
Eleven turned her head and saw Aunt Fang and Song Jiaqi, one leaning against the kitchen door, the other sitting on the sofa, both with a smile, watching them about to part at the door.
Eleven kissed his cheek again and said, "Got it."
Gu Liancheng noticed that it was Song Jiaqiās first visit to his home and she felt uncomfortable, always restrained. Since he had to return to the company for some work, he made that as an excuse to leave.
"Enjoy yourselves, and call me anytime if you need to go out. If I canāt make it, Iāll have Su Qing pick you up."
"With Jia Qi here, now you have an excuse to go to work, right?"
"Miss Gu Qianxun, I dropped all my work to spend the weekend with you, but you ditched me for your friend," he said, lightly tapping her forehead with his long finger, "and then you pin the blame on me."
"Hey, bye!"
"Bye."
Aunt Fang went back into the kitchen and asked, "Maāam, what snacks would you like to have today?"
"Anything is fine, just make it like usual, Auntie. Donāt worry too much, Jia Qi is my friend, thereās no need for anything special."
Song Jiaqi stuck out her tongue: "Itās already rather special... driving Fourth Master Gu out... Isnāt that a bit too much? Iām disturbing your time together..."
"Donāt listen to him babbling! Heās just too obsessed with his work. He initially took a weekend off to spend time with me and the kidsābut, for various reasons, he doesnāt get to spend much time with the children and wanted to use this time to bond. Who knew that those two little ones would ditch us, and now we donāt even know where to go this weekend. Your visit gave him a reason to leave."
However, Song Jiaqi believed that Qianxun was just saying this to avoid making her feel uncomfortable.
Song Jiaqi had doubts but didnāt dare to ask.
The engagement date for Gu Liancheng and Shang Muxue was something almost everyone knew about, with the day approaching, it was the talk of the town. Only the sudden exposure of Qianxunās affairs had overshadowed it, leaving it unmentioned these past few days.
But not mentioning it didnāt mean it didnāt exist.
In a few days, they were still going to have their engagement.
But right now...
She couldnāt see any sign that they were divorced?
Something wasnāt right...
Could it be that their bond was still entangled and not fully severed?
But she felt that Qianxun was not that kind of person.
"Whatās wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing... nothing..." Song Jiaqi awkwardly smiled.
"It doesnāt look like ānothingā from your expression."
Eleven, with her keen senses, took a few more glances and noticed Jia Qiās expression, roughly guessing the truth.
"You think we already got divorced, but still act as if we havenāt, and something is wrong, is that it?"
"I donāt think itās wrong..." Song Jiaqi found the softest way to speak, "So... Qianxun, donāt overthink, I mean no offense, Iām just curious... Are they still getting engaged?"
"They are, arenāt they? The day hasnāt come yet," Eleven laughed, appearing nonchalant, "I havenāt heard about the hotel canceling the reservation. If there were any changes, the media would definitely report it."
