Chapter 205 - 204: Heartless
After dropping off Gu Xiaoying, Fang Shaohan drove Gu Xiaoqing home.
Seeing Gu Xiaoqing a bit silent, Fang Shaohan asked, "What’s up? Still got something on your mind?"
Gu Xiaoqing looked up into Fang Shaohan’s deep, clear black eyes and his concerned face, and suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.
This Fang Shaohan is quite a good choice, huh.
If he were to be my brother-in-law, not only is he handsome, the most important thing is he’s upright, not the kind of shady person, and has a sense of justice, indeed a great choice.
Staring at Fang Shaohan with sparkling eyes, Fang Shaohan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, like he was being targeted by a hunter.
This little girl seems to have some not-so-good intentions.
"Fang Shaohan, do you have a girlfriend?"
Gu Xiaoqing was all eager.
This is the brother-in-law candidate she had her eyes on.
Not probing a bit would be letting her sister down.
Fang Shaohan turned his head to look at Gu Xiaoqing, this kid clearly seemed overly excited.
Is it such a critical matter whether or not I have a girlfriend?
Could it be that Gu Xiaoqing has a thing for me?
Fang Shaohan felt a warmth in his heart; he did have a bit of an ambiguous feeling towards Gu Xiaoqing, but he also knew Gu Xiaoqing was only seventeen, with four more years of university ahead, and even after graduation, she’d be only twenty-one, not near marriage age at all.
Fang Shaohan had originally intended to take it slow, gradually penetrate into Gu Xiaoqing’s life, make her accustomed to his presence, then slowly over time, feelings would naturally develop, and by that time, it would be a natural progression.
By then, once she’s twenty-two, they could get married.
Fang Shaohan didn’t want to scare Gu Xiaoqing, and besides, he still had some troublesome matters to deal with himself, not a great opportunity.
Unfortunately, it seemed the pace was getting messed up now.
This girl can’t possibly be having feelings for me, right?
Fang Shaohan absolutely wouldn’t let Gu Xiaoqing make the first move towards him.
That wouldn’t be fair to myself.
He replied smoothly, "Not yet."
Immediately, the smile on Gu Xiaoqing’s face grew wider, looking like a little wolf pup that had spotted meat.
As if she was about to drool.
Fang Shaohan felt like laughing.
Am I that appetizing?
Even though Fang Shaohan knew his looks were top-notch, the kind that made many girls scream, it was still a bit boastful to be coveted by someone he secretly admired, especially someone he wanted to impress.
Gu Xiaoqing immediately leaned in and said, "What do you think of my sister Gu Xiaoying?"
Fang Shaohan cautiously glanced back, seeing the intention in Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes, her forehead might as well have had the word matchmaker written all over it.
A rush of anger suddenly surged up in his heart.
Stepping on the accelerator, the car suddenly sped up, and Gu Xiaoqing, unprepared, bumped headfirst into the windshield.
"Ouch! Can’t you watch the road a little?" Gu Xiaoqing complained, rubbing her forehead, which seemed somewhat red.
Does this guy even know how to drive?
There were clearly two cars blocking the way just now, what’s with the sudden overtaking?
If you don’t care about your life, I certainly do mine!
Grumbling, Gu Xiaoqing mumbled.
Fang Shaohan glared ahead fiercely, giving off the vibe of someone ready to devour.
This woman is thoroughly thoughtless, doesn’t she see that the only reason I’m here is to take her home?
And now she wants to package me up for her sister.
How utterly heartless is that.
Was I coming off too indifferent?
Or did I make a mistake somewhere?
Gu Xiaoqing looked at Fang Shaohan’s tightly pressed lips, from her angle they were like a cold ice-sculpture, handsome but forbiddingly distant.
It wasn’t much different from his demeanor when they first met, if Gu Xiaoqing had been a bit more oblivious, she might have overlooked Fang Shaohan’s attitude.
Is this what anger looks like?
Gu Xiaoqing cautiously accompanied her inquiry with a smile, "Fang Shaohan, are you mad?"
Thinking for a long time, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t figure out what she had said wrong.
All she did was ask how he felt about Gu Xiaoying.
Could it be humiliation turning to anger?
Could it possibly be that Fang Shaohan has feelings for Gu Xiaoying too, so when she asked him this question, he got a bit shy?
So she continued, "My sister is great, don’t you think so too? Let me tell you, my sister is only twenty-two, she’s the model housewife type, excellent both at home and outside, her personality is gentle, never throws tantrums. A lot of people are interested in her, you know. If you have any feelings for my sister, it’s better to act early, otherwise, it might be too late."
As soon as those words were out, Gu Xiaoqing hit the windshield again, even harder than before.
The car was pulled over to the side.
Fang Shaohan glared icily at Gu Xiaoqing, then grabbed her wrist tightly and said, "Are you really that thoughtless? I have no feelings for Gu Xiaoying, your sister might be the ideal housewife, but that has nothing to do with me, stop scheming.
You’re just afraid your sister will be tricked by some jerk, so you’re trying to pitch her to me. I’m not interested."
His voice was as cold as the ice of December, his gaze sharp as blades, his expression like a dragon about to breathe fire.
Gu Xiaoqing covered her forehead, truly feeling a headache, hitting the same spot twice, how could it not hurt?
Inwardly guessing what nerve she had hit with him to make him react like a cat whose tail was stepped on, exploding in this way.
Softly, she said, "Alright, alright, you’re all high and mighty, handsome beyond compare, invincible in the world. Fine, okay. My sister isn’t good enough for you, isn’t that right? Is there really a need to get so mad? Just looking at you, I think a woman like my sister is the only one who could tolerate you, if you hit on someone like me, it’d be like Mars crashing into Earth, wouldn’t it?"
Was this a veiled apology?
It’s not like she wanted anything from Fang Shaohan.
Fang Shaohan sighed; this young woman has a keen sense for everything except when it comes to feelings; she’s as clueless as a block of wood.
Looks like I really need to be very patient.
He reached out and touched Gu Xiaoqing’s forehead, it was more red than swollen.
In a deep voice, he said, "Mind your own business, you can’t even take care of yourself, yet you’re thinking about matchmaking. Aren’t you a college student? If you want to find someone reliable for your sister, I can introduce some of my colleagues and buddies to her, all high-quality men, but I doubt your sister would be interested. Just stop scheming about me."
With that, he started the car. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
