Gu Fangting said, “That’s right! Brother-in-law is paying a new year visit! He also brought us some snacks, and I’ve shared them with Little Six and Little Nine.”
Gu Yunshuang was delighted as she looked at the things.
She was not just happy to have all these things but also delighted that Mo Beihan was so good at managing relationships. He managed to please them in every way.
His actions showed how important Gu Qingyao was to him. He continually let the Gu family see how much he cared about Gu Qingyao. As her family, of course, Gu Yunshuang was happy.
“All right. Bring Little Six and Little Nine to play. Mother will cook now.”
Gu Jinlin hurried to help while Gu Jinfeng looked around. “But where is Mo Beihan?”
Gu Fangting said, “He went to look for Elder Sister. He’s probably in her room!”
Gu Jinfeng immediately made a beeline for Gu Qingyao’s room. As he walked, he shouted, “Yao Yao…”
From her room, Gu Qingyao could hear the sounds of Gu Yunshuang and the rest returning, so she pushed Mo Beihan aside and sat up.
She straightened her slightly crumpled clothes and hastily tidied her hair.
Behind her, Mo Beihan slowly sat up. He stared at her, unable to move his eyes away.
She had completely surprised him today. He had not expected such a… bonus!
When she was tidy, Gu Qingyao turned and looked at Mo Beihan, who was still staring at her. She could clearly see the flames burning in his eyes.
So she smiled and went over to help him tidy his clothes. No one else must see any traces.
He looked at the girl who was now standing right in front of him, her face still flushed from pleasure. As he looked at her, he continued to breathe heavily.
She had just finished tidying when Gu Jinfeng arrived at their door.
“Yao Yao, is Mo Beihan in there with you?”
Gu Jinfeng was knocking on the door.
Gu Qingyao calmly picked up the clothes and carried on sewing. “Come in, Fourth Brother!”
Gu Jinfeng pushed open the door and saw his younger cousin making clothes while Mo Beihan sat very close to her.
Gu Jinfeng was rather displeased. “Who gave you permission to linger in my younger sister’s room by yourself? And why is the door closed in the day?”
Mo Beihan was inwardly agitated but maintained his composure. He raised his brows and looked at Gu Jinfeng. “It’s too cold outside. If I leave the door open, Yao Yao will be cold!”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Jinfeng gritted his teeth. He could not stand Mo Beihan. The fellow would not be so irritating if he was not hovering around his younger cousin.
But the moment the fellow stayed by his younger cousin’s side with that possessive air, he just could not stand it!
It was the new year, and his younger sister was now a year older.
She would probably get married next year.
His own younger cousin whom he had raised was being taken away by someone else!
Gu Jinfeng’s expression darkened. “Come with me to change your clothes, and let’s go work in the cowshed.”
Gu Qingyao kept a straight face and bowed her head without saying a word.
Although Mo Beihan was rather reluctant, he did not protest either. Work was nothing. His wife had given him a surprise today. Now he was willing to do any amount of work.
Mo Beihan rose and left with Gu Jinfeng. The two of them changed into tattered old clothes and shoes, then headed for the cowshed.
When they had left and Gu Qingyao was alone, she giggled to herself.
After a while, Gu Chonghua, Wen Ruyu and Gu Yunshen came back. They were a little dirty, so they changed their clothes and washed up before heading to the kitchen for a chat.
“What’s going on between Beihan and Little Feng? They seem to be quarreling!” Gu Chonghua said as he washed his face.
