Chapter 43: Following
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qing revealed a hint of a smile and said, "I’ve never been to the research family’s compound. I heard it’s quite clean, and the environment is good... Sister, you’ve been married for over a month. I also want to check it out. Can I go stay with you for a couple of days tonight?"
Stay for two days? Ouyang Qing even wants to tag along?
Gu Fuqiao definitely wouldn’t want that! Just as she was about to refuse outright, Ouyang Qing said to Mother Gu, "Auntie, you also wanted to stay at my sister’s place for a couple of days before. Let’s go together this time!"
Seeing Ouyang Qing like this, Gu Fuqiao suddenly remembered the situation written in the original diary. It would be best if Mother Gu didn’t agree; if she did, it meant that she probably knew about Ouyang Qing’s intent and was helping to make it possible!
Things turned out as Gu Fuqiao expected. Mother Gu said to her, "Ah Jiao, how about Qingqing and I just come stay at your place for a couple of days, okay?"
It’s definitely not okay!
Gu Fuqiao looked up at Ouyang Qing, saw her sneak a couple of glances at Yan Zhen Guo, and felt a bit upset. Ouyang Qing’s intentions towards Yan Zhen Guo were so obvious, she didn’t want that at all!
Just as she was about to refuse, Yan Zhen Guo agreed, "Perfect timing, we have an extra room at home that can be tidied up for Mom to stay."
Yan Zhen Guo obviously hadn’t thought it through. After all, at that time, Taiwan-style romance wasn’t popular in the mainland, without those soap-opera romances that ignore family ethics. Only those with ulterior motives would think that way, or those like Gu Fuqiao who’d read too many romances with skewed values would understand.
