chapter 65
She gave him a chilly glance and nudged him with her elbow. “No.”
Fu Juncheng chuckled softly, no longer teasing her. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back to school.”
As soon as he spoke, Qi Heng hurriedly grabbed Gu Qingning’s hand, his bright smile full of mischief. “I want to sit with the pretty sister.”
Fu Juncheng glanced at him, expression indifferent.
Looks like it’s time to hire him a couple more tutors.
Yizhong wasn’t far from the café, and before long, they arrived.
Qi Heng poked his little head out of the car, reluctant to leave. “Pretty sister, Hengheng will miss you.”
Gu Qingning chuckled softly, reaching out to pat his head. “It’s dangerous, sit properly.”
The little guy retreated into the car, obediently sitting down, and added, “Then pretty sister, remember to think of Hengheng.”
Gu Qingning smiled faintly. “Alright.”
At that moment, the man in the driver’s seat turned to look at her, a seductive smile playing on his crimson lips. “Ningning, you…”
Startled by his words, Gu Qingning immediately turned and ran.
In a flash, she was out of sight.
Qi Heng opened his pink lips wide, his soft, chubby face showing confusion. “Uncle, why did pretty sister run so fast?”
Fu Juncheng withdrew his gaze, the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably.
He replied casually, “Maybe she’s late for class.”
Qi Heng made a soft “oh” sound, lowering his gaze to the packed desserts, looking a bit tempted.
Fu Juncheng warned, “Hengheng, when you go home, don’t mention meeting pretty sister, understand?”
Qi Heng looked up at him, pouting. “Why?”
“Pretty sister is shy. If you mention her at home, Grandma and the others will go see her. That will scare her away.”
One had to admit, Fu Jun was very skilled at dealing with kids.
Upon hearing that it might scare pretty sister away, the little one quickly agreed.
“Got it. Hengheng won’t tell anyone.”
Fu Juncheng smiled in satisfaction and started the car.
…
The Tao Family
In the living room, teacups clinked lightly.
Tao Qiuyue set down the teapot and let her gaze wander over the two brothers across from her.
Finally, her teasing eyes rested on Gu Che, and she smiled playfully. “You’ve already had two cups of tea. Aren’t you going to say something?”
“Pfft.”
Having held it in the whole way, Gu Zhao couldn’t help but laugh.
Almost simultaneously, the person next to him threw a punch.
Gu Zhao hastily dodged and sat on another sofa.
He laughed. “Aunt Tao, control your company’s artist!”
Tao Qiuyue shook her head with a smile. These two brothers…
Gu Che glared at Gu Zhao and posted the edited Weibo post.
Then he grabbed an orange and tossed it at Gu Zhao. “Hurry up, respond on Weibo.”
Gu Zhao caught the orange with ease, though a bit wary of getting hit, and his smile faded slightly.
He pulled out his phone and opened Gu Che’s Weibo page.
Shenghuang Entertainment—Gu Che: Look carefully. He’s my own brother. Playing around within the family doesn’t mean violent tendencies. Seriously [speechless.jpg]
Attached was a high-definition video showing both brothers from the front, but the mood was light.
Brothers playing, happy together.
Within less than a minute of posting, the reposts nearly hit a million, and the comment section was bombarded.
FlyingPig: Brother Che, don’t be mad, we believe you.
VanityLittleNaughty: The water washed the Dragon King Temple, turns out they’re all family. Beauty and excellence are hereditary indeed; Brother Che’s younger brother is so handsome.
TomorrowMoreDrumsticks: Gu male god, be gentle with your brother. His hands are insured, very expensive.
GuMaleGodIsMyHusband: Wow~ Gu male god’s younger brother is a violin genius, Gu Zhao. So impressive.
MeowMeow: Brother Che, do you think I look like your future sister-in-law?
Scrolling through a few comments, Gu Zhao’s fingers flew as he typed a reply.
Gu San: Second brother, if your strength can’t beat me, I’ll have to defeat you with looks @Shenghuang Entertainment—Gu Che
Thinking it wasn’t enough, Gu Zhao posted two more handsome photos of himself.
The already crowded comment section erupted even more.
Even Gu Zhao’s fans joined in; the two fanbases mingled and joked like brothers, very harmonious.
Gu San’sLittleWife: Second brother, our Zhao can’t take hits, be gentle.
SpicyStripsGirl: Zhao, lift weights, next time win back.
FlyingKitePig: How to boop, I want to climb the wall to see second brother.
…
Comments flashed by rapidly, and Gu Zhao’s posts’ shares skyrocketed like a rocket.
The brothers’ first interaction on Weibo nearly crashed the server.
Gu Che exited Weibo, giving Gu Zhao a disdainful look. “Posting edited photos, do you have no shame?”
“Look properly, those are the original photos!” Gu Zhao retorted. “Just admit you’re jealous.”
Ridiculous. With his looks, why bother with editing?
Gu Che sneered. “Wanna compare?”
Gu Zhao wasn’t afraid. “Let’s compare. You post two too and let the fans vote.”
“Stop it.”
Tao Qiuyue hurriedly intervened, handing each a cup of tea. “Both of you behave. You’ve already taken over the trending searches, don’t mess around.”
Do they have no concept of their own popularity and traffic?
“Ah Che, since everything’s settled, take a few days off. The upcoming work is all arranged; I’ll have your agent send it to you later.”
“Aunt Tao, arrange more work for him, fill his schedule.” Gu Zhao teased.
“In my opinion, he shouldn’t rest at all, just go on the schedule.”
“Shut up.” Gu Che shot him a glare, then turned to Tao Qiuyue. “Aunt Tao, I came today to discuss work matters with you.”
Tao Qiuyue raised an eyebrow. “Go ahead.”
Gu Che said directly, “I don’t plan to take on acting roles for the next three months. For other work, I plan to reduce my workload by half. I want to focus on A City for now.”
Beside him, Gu Zhao wasn’t surprised, a knowing smile on his face.
Tao Qiuyue was stunned. Realizing, she asked, “Why?”
Gu Che said, “I just got my sister back recently. I want to stay in A City to be with her.”
Tao Qiuyue’s expression became even stranger. “This doesn’t conflict with your work.”
“Yes, if I’m busy with work, I won’t have time for her.” Gu Che’s usually playful expression turned serious, rare in tone.
“By staying in A City, I can protect her anytime, anywhere.”
Having just won his youngest sister’s favor, he didn’t want her to think he was irresponsible or that his care was short-lived.
Never had anyone seen Gu Che care so much about something; Tao Qiuyue was momentarily speechless.
