"Ye Chan, do you want to go out for dinner tonight?" On this boring day, Gu Mingi called Ye Chan.
Thinking of her agreent with Gu Mingting, Ye Chan declined: "Not today, I have plans already. You should go eat with your Doctor Ji."
"Plans? With whom?" Gu Mingi’s eyes spun with intrigue, "Is there sothing going on?"
For so reason, Ye Chan felt a bit guilty: "What could possibly be going on? I’ll treat you to a al tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chan thought about her arrangent with Gu Mingting. Since they had decided to get married, it was important they get to know each other. To avoid drawing suspicion to their relationship, they agreed to dine out together at least once a week, and today was the scheduled day for dinner.
"Xiao Hao, your Aunt Ye Chan has plans, and Uncle Ji Yuan has to work overti, so it looks like it’s just the two of us for dinner," Gu Mingi sighed.
Gu Hao had been more lively recently and consoled her: "You’ve got Xiao Hao to keep you company, Auntie!"
"You’re the sweetest," Gu Mingi pinched his little face.
But Gu Hao hadn’t finished speaking: "But Auntie, let’s not talk anymore, let’s eat quickly. I promised Grandpa Ye I would morize the acupuncture points chart today."
Gu Mingi buried her head in her al, indicating she didn’t want to talk anymore, but suddenly saw two figures and her eyes widened in shock.
"President Gu, the food here is quite good, you won’t regret it," Ye Chan confidently ordered dishes.
Gu Mingting nodded: "Mm, the places you’ve recomnded have all been good."
"Xiao Hao, look, isn’t that your dad and Aunt Ye over there?" Gu Mingi whispered while tapping Gu Hao’s arm.
Xiao Hao brightened up at the sight of Ye Chan and was about to run over, but Gu Mingi quickly held him back: "Hold on, don’t rush, let’s watch a bit first."
After ordering, Ye Chan began to exchange basic information with Gu Mingting, to avoid getting caught off guard if soone else asked about their relationship as an engaged couple who didn’t seem to know each other well.
Both were open and honest, and they even laughed heartily as they shared amusing stories from their childhood and college days.
"So, President Gu, you also cooked by yourself when you were studying abroad?"
"Yeah, there weren’t any Chinese restaurants near where I lived, and I got tired of steaks and burgers, so I started cooking for myself. I never expected to set off the fire alarm the first ti."
These two must be up to sothing! Gu Mingi thought to herself.
When the two finished their al and left, Gu Mingi sneakily followed behind them.
Her big brother is a clean freak who hates won’s hair falling out, and now he’s letting another woman besides her and mom sit in his car, and on the passenger side?
Gu Mingi felt she had touched on so truth, watching as her big brother dropped off Ye Chan at her own villa and then drove back ho, feeling a twinge of regret in her heart.
No sooner had Gu Mingting entered the house than Gu Mingi followed right behind him. She said to Gu Hao, "Xiao Hao, go upstairs and study your book. I’ll have Aunt Zhang draw your bath in a bit."
After speaking, she approached Gu Mingting with a suspicious look in her eye: "Big brother, are you hiding sothing from ?"
Without even looking up, Gu Mingting replied: "There are plenty of things I keep from you. Which one are you talking about?"
Gu Mingi puffed up her cheeks in anger, feeling that her big brother had truly changed.
"I saw everything today, and you still won’t admit it."
"Admit what?" Gu Mingting was unafraid.
"Tell , are you having a thing with Ye Chan?" Gu Mingi asked excitedly.
"What ’thing’ are you referring to?"
"What else could it be? Today I asked Ye Chan out, but she said she had plans and turned down. Turns out her plans were with you! I saw everything, you two were having dinner, chatting and laughing together, and you even drove her back to the villa." Gu Mingi had a look that said, now you have no way to deny it!
"So what? What are you trying to say? Ye Chan is an excellent employee, can’t I, as a boss, be nice to my staff?" Gu Mingting retorted.
Because his expression was so honest and indignant, Gu Mingi started to doubt whether she was overthinking things.
However, her older brother then said, "But I am indeed pursuing Ye Chan now."
Upon hearing this confession, Gu Mingi sowhat disbelieved it: "Big brother, you’re not joking, are you?"
"Do I look like soone who jokes?"
"You just made a joke just monts ago," Gu Mingi said softly, teasing him.
"You and Ye Chan are good friends, so you should know that she’s a woman who excels in every aspect. Isn’t it normal for to pursue her?"
Gu Mingi with a look of speechlessness: "It’s normal for Ye Chan to have suitors, but it’s abnormal for you to be one of them. Big brother, do you rember how much you used to detest won?"
The truth is, Gu Mingting was just cold in nature and didn’t actually detest won. The psychological shadow toward won began when the mother of Xiao Hao secretly impregnated herself with his sperm; since then, he has been extrely averse to any woman outside his relatives.
"What I detest are won who harbor special intentions towards . Don’t I treat male and female employees the sa at the company?"
Gu Mingi didn’t want to argue about this and said, "So you’ve figured it out? But why Ye Chan?"
Gu Mingting looked at her: "What, you have the sa prejudice as the Li family? You think she’s not good enough for ?"
"No," Gu Mingi quickly waved her hand, "I just feel like you two don’t match, like you don’t seem like people who would get together."
"How do we not match? She’s beautiful, I’m handso, she’s wealthy, I’m wealthy too, her work ability is strong, my work ability is strong as well. Aren’t we a perfect match?"
Gu Mingi was almost rendered speechless by her brother’s logic; she hadn’t imagined her brother to be such a narcissist. But aside from the incident with Xiao Hao’s mother, she really hadn’t seen her brother show such strong emotions before. Could it be that her big brother truly has feelings now?
Gu Mingi had once suspected that her brother might end up living alone for his whole life. Unexpectedly, in middle age, he had started to entertain the idea of falling in love!
Honestly, she was very happy for her brother, especially since the person her brother liked was Ye Chan.
Although Ye Chan was divorced, it wasn’t her fault, and she was indeed very excellent. Just like her brother said, she’s wealthy, attractive, and extrely capable at work. What’s not to match? And moreover, she gets along very well with Xiao Hao.
Gu Mingi had once worried that if her brother really did get the idea to get married, his wife might not be kind to Xiao Hao. But if that person was Ye Chan, then there would be no need to worry at all.
"So, big brother, how far have you two progressed now?"
"Adult matters, children shouldn’t ask."
Gu Mingi huffed lightly. If she couldn’t find out from her brother, couldn’t she just ask Ye Chan?
She went back to her room, and the first thing she did was to share the news of her brother pursuing a girl with the family group chat.
