Gu Wan’er let out a cold snort. “If it weren’t for me, we’d be buried under rubble by now. And on top of that, you actually did that to Sister Bai. You’re done for, I’m telling you.”
“What? What did I do to Sister Bai?” Yu Xiaoduo swore he had absolutely no idea. If he really had done something, it had to be his body’s instinctive reaction—he, Yu Xiaoduo, was not taking the blame for this.
Gu Wan’er bluntly told him exactly what she’d seen. Yu Xiaoduo sucked in a sharp breath. He’d actually used the Dragon Claw technique? Wasn’t Sister Bai in pain?
Oh, heaven above, even if you’re going to let me die, at least let me die conscious! I didn’t feel a thing! My dear Sister Bai… could we maybe do it over?
“I have a feeling you’re going to meet your end at Sister Bai’s hands,” Gu Wan’er said seriously. And when that happened, she wouldn’t be able to escape blame either—she’d be complicit as Yu Xiaoduo’s accomplice.
“Wan’er, we’re like brothers joined at the hip! As long as we keep our mouths shut, who’s going to believe anything?”
“Ha. When you don’t need me, it’s ‘President Gu, President Gu.’ When you do need me, it’s ‘Wan’er, Wan’er.'”
Yu Xiaoduo grinned sheepishly. “I learned that from you, Wan’er!”
“Call me Sister Wan’er, got it?”
“Sister Wan’er, come on—with our relationship, that’s way too formal! Next time I get a chance, I’ll make sure you have some fun too. As long as I, Yu Xiaoduo, get meat to eat, you, Sister Wan’er, will get soup to drink!”
“Get lost!” And with that, she hung up. ‘You eat meat, I drink soup’? More like I eat the meat and you drink the soup!
Yu Xiaoduo bit down on his toothbrush, white foam bubbling at his mouth. At the dial tone, he let out a tsk. Let her have her fun for one day.
He never expected he’d actually done something like that. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
After getting dressed, Yu Xiaoduo walked out of his bedroom. His parents were both sitting at the dining table having breakfast, but the way they looked at him was a little strange—tinged with a hint of disdain, almost.
What was going on here?
“What’s with you two?” Yu Xiaoduo sat down, utterly confused.
Yu Taiduo let out a long, deep sigh. Tang Ling shook her head and quietly sipped her congee.
This really threw Bro Yu for a loop. What on earth had happened? Had Gu Wan’er left him some kind of “surprise”?
“Say something, you guys.”
Yu Taiduo spoke in a low, grave voice. “Some things aren’t fit to be discussed at the dinner table. You’re grown up now, and you have a girlfriend. There’s really no need to… well, you know what I mean.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “……”
Wait—did Gu Wan’er actually make a move last night?! And Dad saw it?!
Oh crap!
Gu Wan’er, you’ve really outdone yourself! You keep saying how disgusting it is, but apparently you’re pretty into it, huh? How about I let you have a real taste someday?
“Xiaoduo, having a girlfriend like Wan’er—someone you can see but can’t touch—must be frustrating. But don’t rush it; you’ll get there eventually.”
Yu Xiaoduo had already shattered into icy pieces. Gu Wan’er, you’re something else—you went ahead and experienced my body inside and out!
After breakfast, Yu Xiaoduo stepped out the door and immediately called Gu Wan’er. If he didn’t give her a piece of his mind today, he’d never feel at peace.
But Gu Wan’er wouldn’t even pick up. It made Yu Xiaoduo laugh out of sheer anger.
When he got to the parking lot, he suddenly remembered his car was still at the 4S shop. Seeing that Fatty’s car was still there, Yu Xiaoduo decided to wait for him.
Before long, Fatty came downstairs whistling. “Well, well, if it isn’t Bro Yu.”
“Heh, someone’s feeling pretty pleased with himself.”
“You bet! The trick you taught me, Bro Yu—it worked like a charm! Taking down that beautiful widow is just a matter of time now.”
Yu Xiaoduo’s brow furrowed. What was this? Wasn’t Gu Wan’er supposed to be the master of breakups? Had she changed her ways this time?
Nah—it had to be an act. Last time she purposely sabotaged his blind date; it was just revenge.
He’d seriously underestimated that woman. Anyone who could play chess that well had to have some schemes up her sleeve.
Just as they reached the entrance of the neighborhood, Yu Xiaoduo saw a crowd gathered at the property management office. “What’s going on?”
The driver, Zhao Liang, grinned mischievously. “Around 11:30 last night, someone in one of the units was watching some… adult action movies. And they didn’t even use headphones! They had the volume cranked way up. I could hear it myself—and honestly, it sounded kind of familiar.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve got a girlfriend like President Gu, Bro Yu, I’d almost suspect it was you.”
Yu Xiaoduo’s face stiffened. He wasn’t talking about Gu Wan’er, was he?!
Just then, a woman pointed at one of the buildings and shouted, “It’s that building! So shameless! We need to call the police and have them arrested!”
Yu Xiaoduo turned his head to look—and holy crap, that was his building!
Gu Wan’er, you mess around all you want, but do you have to let the whole world know what you’re up to?! How can you be this wicked?!
Zhao Liang caught the expression on Yu Xiaoduo’s face and gasped. “Bro Yu… don’t tell me it really was you?!”
“Just drive.”
“Bro Yu… you mean you still haven’t gotten to touch President Gu?” Zhao Liang had been envious of Bro Yu before, but now he just felt sorry for him. Having such a stunning girlfriend like President Gu, yet only being able to look and not touch—that’s torture, Bro Yu.
Yu Xiaoduo didn’t even want to talk anymore. There was no way to clear his name now.
He pulled out his phone and opened his go-to app. When he went to check the watch history—it was gone.
Nice one, Gu Wan’er. You’re getting better and better at this. He never should have warned her last time. Now she knew to delete the evidence, all while calling him the pervert. She wasn’t any better herself!
But did she really think deleting the history would stop him? Gu Wan’er, you’re still too green. You don’t know about the “resume playback” feature, do you?
Zhao Liang, noticing Yu Xiaoduo had gone quiet, glanced over and nearly jumped. “Bro Yu! It’s not even morning yet—watching that stuff this early, aren’t you afraid of getting all riled up?”
“Keep your eyes on the road.” Yu Xiaoduo was determined—he would find her incriminating evidence.
Zhao Liang curled his lip. Bro Yu was seriously pitiful. Better not to egg him on.
Soon, the two arrived at the office. Yu Xiaoduo had already gathered all the evidence he needed against Gu Wan’er and was planning to tear into her later. If she had even half of Yun’er’s thoughtfulness, he’d be thanking his lucky stars.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Wan’er was heading out with Gu Yun’er.
“Sis, maybe you should stay home and rest today.” Gu Yun’er could see her sister wasn’t in top shape—she kept rubbing her forehead.
Gu Wan’er shook her head. “I’m fine.” She had important business to discuss with Ye Shishi today; she had to go.
Gu Yun’er sighed. Her sister was just that stubborn—pushing through even when she wasn’t feeling well, just so the family wouldn’t have anything to gossip about.
In truth, Gu Wan’er had already seen the multiple missed calls from Yu Xiaoduo. If she guessed right, he probably already knew about what she’d done last night—and he was likely waiting right outside her office door right now.
She could even picture him with his hands on his hips, going on a full-blown tirade.
Sigh…
She’d have to figure out a way to deal with this.
At the company parking lot, Gu Yun’er reminded her, “Sis, don’t overwork yourself. Leave work early today and head straight home. I probably won’t be back this week, so if anything comes up, call me, okay?”
Watching her younger sister fuss over her, Gu Wan’er gave a helpless smile. “Anyone would think you’re the older sister.”
“Sis, you really do keep me worried.”
