Just then, Liang Qing spoke up to clarify their relationship.

He couldn't help but feel that Liang Qing was at least not as annoying as Gu Wei.

Although he disliked both women, Liang Qing was at least not lecherous compared to Gu Wei.

Unlike Gu Wei, she didn't harass him whenever she had the chance.

"That's great!" Gu Wei smiled and put another piece of meat on Liang Qing's plate. "It seems your taste isn't so bad after all."

Liang Qing: "..."

Liang Qing felt Yan Su's gaze sweeping over her from the side, and felt even more strongly that the piece of meat in her bowl was a ticking time bomb.

She laughed awkwardly twice, and after thinking for a moment, she still said a few good words for Yan Su, since on the surface she was still his friend.

If she keeps quiet when her friend is being belittled, she's sure that the ten points of goodwill she just gained will immediately vanish.

"Yan Su was very popular at school."

After listening, Gu Wei tucked a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her behind her ear, smiled, and said nothing more.

Yan Yu had let go of her hand at some point, and his face had turned somewhat ashen.

But because the other three people present were preoccupied with their own thoughts, no one noticed his unusual behavior.

The next private room was eerily quiet. After finishing their meal in silence, the group decided to head back, as they couldn't continue the conversation in such an awkward atmosphere.

……

After dropping Gu Wei off at home, Yan Yu would usually turn around and go back home unless there was anything else to discuss.

But tonight, Gu Wei was only a step away from the door, and she still didn't hear Yan Su's car engine.

She stood there for a while, then turned back and knocked on the car window twice.

Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?

Yan Yu sat on the sofa, his suit jacket already taken off and casually tossed aside.

Gu Wei sat next to him, her head resting on the back of the sofa as she looked at him.

Despite being invited in for tea, Gu Wei showed no intention of going to the kitchen to make tea.

She didn't soak it, and Yan Yu didn't urge her.

They both knew tacitly that this was just an excuse.

After sitting for a while, Gu Wei chuckled softly twice, "Are you really planning to sit here all night without saying a word to me?"

Yan Yu glanced at her sideways and said irritably, "Didn't you say you were going to invite me for tea?"

"Are you sure you want to drink it? I'll go pour it." Gu Wei said, standing up.

She took a step and her hand was grabbed. Yan Yu forcefully pulled her back to sit on the sofa.

Gu Wei stared at him blankly for a moment, then, as if remembering something, she smiled and asked, "Not drinking again?"

"No, I won't drink," Yan Yu replied decisively.

Even though he had already stopped her, Yan Yu still held her hand.

Even though her hands were so cold, so cold that they chilled his own, he still didn't let go.

"Didn't you tell me you weren't interested in Yan Su?" Yan Yu said unhappily.

“It’s boring,” Gu Wei replied quickly.

Yan Yu wanted to see if she was lying, but all she saw was Gu Wei's sincere eyes.

“I don’t believe it,” Yan Yu continued. “If you weren’t interested in him, why would you serve him food?”

Yan Yu felt a tightness in her chest when she recalled the flirtatious wink Gu Wei gave Yan Su.

Gu Wei thought back and realized that Yan Yu had indeed fallen silent after she served food to Yan Su.

Gu Wei asked incredulously, "You were upset about this all night?"

"Isn't this enough?" Yan Yu rolled her eyes at her.

“You told me you weren’t interested in Yan Su, yet you still served him food.”

Gu Wei wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to hear a hint of grievance in Yan Yu's words.

"I also served food to Liang Qing, didn't I?"

“That’s different!” Yan Yu squeezed her hand. “She’s a girl.”

Gu Wei was both amused and exasperated. "What does it have to do with whether she's a man or a woman?"

Yan Yu ignored her words and said sullenly, "I've put food on your plate so many times, but you've never put any on my plate even once."

Gu Wei replied, bewildered, "You can tell me if you want it, right?"

Yan Yu was furious with her. "Can something you beg for be the same as something you give yourself?"

"No, I don't understand?" Gu Wei blinked, looking at Yan Yu who was puffing up in anger, and an absurd thought flashed through her mind.

She hurriedly pulled her hand away from Yan Yu's and asked with difficulty, "Yan Yu, you haven't fallen for me, have you?"

Yan Yu's hand suddenly missed its target, and seeing Gu Wei's dazed expression, he instantly became irritated.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew why Gu Wei suddenly withdrew her hand.

Because she suspected he liked her.

But her behavior clearly told Yan Yu that she didn't like him, and didn't even want him to like her.

Thinking about this, Yan Yu became even more agitated, and he himself didn't know why he was so annoyed.

How could he possibly fall for Gu Wei?

But now he didn't have time to think about whether he liked Gu Wei or not; he had to answer her question first.

"You wish," Yan Yu scoffed.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Gu Wei figured he must be angry at her unrequited love, since she still remembered his attitude when she proposed to be his girlfriend.

Seeing his usual answer, my doubts disappeared.

She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "That scared me to death."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Yan Yu felt even more annoyed.

how?

Is his affection so frightening to her?

Yan Yu desperately wanted to leave immediately to avoid being driven mad by her.

How come he never realized she could be so infuriating?

But as he was about to get up, he thought of Yan Su again and asked once more, "You really have no feelings for Yan Su?"

Seeing the suspicious look flashing in his eyes, Gu Wei gave in and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth."

Yan Yu's heart sank. Was she about to admit that she liked Yan Su?

Gu Wei rubbed her temples and explained, "Actually, I didn't intend to serve him any food at first, but I saw the disdainful look he gave me."

“I thought he hated me, so if I put food on his plate, he would definitely be too disgusted to eat it.”

"I just wanted to make him jealous."

I really don't like him.

Yan Yu's brows relaxed. After hearing Gu Wei's words, he was already seven or eight parts convinced.

But he deliberately asked again, "You really don't like it?"

Gu Wei said helplessly, "I really don't like it."

She glanced at Yan Yu with a hint of resentment, "If I had known you suspected me of liking your brother, I wouldn't have messed with him."

Yan Yu knew she didn't like Yan Su, and the anger that had been building up inside her had subsided somewhat. Her tone softened a bit as she said, "You know he's prejudiced against you. I'm just afraid you'll get hurt."

Gu Wei patted his shoulder, touched. "That's so kind of you. After hearing what you said, I'll never mess with your brother again."

Gu Wei looked at Yan Yu without saying anything, thinking that he didn't believe she was telling the truth.

She patted his back and sighed, "I know you care about your brother. I promise I will never tease him again. Don't be upset."
