Chapter 2240: Chapter 2242: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

Gu Linxi didn’t know the relationship between his aunt and Lin Quan, but seeing how much effort he put into protecting her, he felt touched. Rarely did he smile softly and gently refuse his kind offer, “No need, I’ve already resolved this matter. As long as she hasn’t lost her mind, she won’t bother me again.”

“Did you call her?” Cui Jiangjing still hadn’t let go of her hand, holding her wrist tightly, his eyebrows furrowed, his dark, almond-shaped eyes not yet relaxed, “Let me handle it. This matter started because of me; it’s not right for you to resolve it.”

“…I’ve already resolved it.”

Gu Linxi had no concept of boyfriend-girlfriend dynamics, so naturally, the idea of who should solve the problem was also foreign to her. The problem was solved, wasn’t it? She couldn’t understand the difference in who dealt with it.

She used her right hand to break free from his grip on her left hand, stepping back with a sigh of resignation, saying, “Quickly change your clothes, once you’re ready we’ll go out for dinner.”

Cui Jiangjing’s handsome face showed surprise, “Didn’t you say you were busy today and had no time for me.”

“…Originally, I didn’t have time.”

He stepped closer, his gaze intense as he looked at the woman in front of him, “Then why do you suddenly have time now.”

“I suddenly found the time.”

Gu Linxi, feeling pressured by him advancing step by step, retreated with frustration, maintaining a safe distance to avoid being pulled over by him again. She couldn’t understand why Cui Jiangjing liked to hold her hand so much; anyway, she didn’t like such slightly intimate gestures.

“I’ll go change my clothes.”

Cui Jiangjing saw her awkwardly shake him off, turned around as if chased by a ghost, and ran away, the corners of his mouth unintentionally lifted. He held onto the black T-shirt in his hand tightly and walked toward the room.

Gu Linxi merely added a shirt jacket over her tank top, spoke a few words to the assistant, and waited for the person inside to come out, saying, “Let’s go.”

“Mmm.” Cui Jiangjing followed behind her, feeling somewhat complicated.

Just while changing clothes inside, he received a call from the Gu Family. Finally, he understood what she meant by saying she solved it.

The Gu Family thought Gu Ran couldn’t remove the apology post from trending because he had contacted someone at Weibo. Gu Qinian couldn’t resist his crying daughter and shamelessly called him to plead for leniency. Only then did he realize what Gu Linxi meant by having resolved it.

Cui Jiangjing gazed intently at the slim yet upright back of the little woman walking ahead, not knowing what tactics she used to make Gu Ran and Gu Qinian both give in and lower their stance, but it was clear she had many aspects he didn’t yet know.

At the restaurant near the auto repair shop, Gu Linxi familiarly pushed the door open and went inside.

“Welcome…” The receptionist greeted enthusiastically upon seeing Gu Linxi enter, immediately showing a delighted expression and warmly approaching to greet her, “Miss Gu, it’s been a while since you last came. I thought you wouldn’t come anymore…”

Gu Linxi rarely showed her a smile, her mood seeming good, and said, “I’ve been busy lately, no time to come. Is Master Feng around?”

“The chef is busy inside; I’ll take you to the usual spot.” The female server seemed to only then notice someone next to her, her smile freezing, “Um, Miss Gu, did you bring a friend along today?”

Mr. Cui wasn’t accustomed to being ignored, he smirked slightly, putting an arm around her shoulder before the woman beside him could answer, declaring possessively, “Her boyfriend.”
