Chapter 737: Meeting New Friends
Returning home, Gu Fan opened the door, then made a gesture of invitation. Speaking with an utmost respectful tone, he said, "Your arrival graces this humble abode, my queen. I hope in the future days to come, you will grant me the honor of attending to you."
"Well-mannered, a point in your favor." Qian Ye stepped inside, looked around, looking somewhat disappointed. "The house appears a bit worn on the outside; I see it’s mediocre inside."
To this, Gu Fan explained: "This is our family’s old house, also a historic building, it has quite the value."
"Ah, I see. I take back what I said earlier then, no offense intended. Also, I’ll need the biggest room." Qian Ye was very blunt, which made Gu Fan bewildered. "Hold on, you’re now Lin Xi. You should go to Lin Xi’s place and live with Lin Xi’s parents."
"Right, I forgot about that. Let’s go to Lin Xi’s home then. Hopefully, it’s nicer than here." No sooner had Qian Ye finished speaking than Gu Fan sighed. "Do you know why I didn’t take you directly to Lin Xi’s home? I was afraid you’d chafe against the restrictions with that temper of yours. Given your unpredictable words and conduct, it’s likely you’ll get into a quarrel with Lin Xi’s parents and arouse their suspicions."
Hearing this, Qian Ye gave it some serious thought and felt it made sense. Then she asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Gu Fan, shaking his head, said: "In my opinion, no matter how good your acting is, it wouldn’t work, as after all you’re not Lin Xi. Moreover, I have no idea how Lin Xi usually interacts with her family, so the longer you stay, the more loopholes will be exposed."
Qian Ye frowned: "What should we do? Should I just not go home?"
Gu Fan thought carefully, "Of course you must go home. Just keep quiet, eat and sleep. Whatever Lin Xi’s parents say, just do it. That way, we could conceal your identity to the maximum extent."
