Upon hearing the word 'child', Gu Xiaodong's expression stiffened slightly, fortunately, Liu Mei was standing behind him. He was silent for a while before he said, "Okay." This was the first time he felt life had deviated from his anticipated course.
Gu Xiaobei went to work the next day all geared up for a fight, she figured if Jin Cheng wanted to cause more problems, she was going to hit back hard.
But as it turned out, Jin Cheng acted like nothing had happened yesterday, he cheerfully greeted Gu Xiaobei.
Gu Xiaobei was taken aback. Something was amiss; Jin Cheng was probably up to something. She responded with a cautious nod and settled into her seat.
Jin Cheng pulled up a chair and sat next to her, saying, "Gu Xiaobei, I asked you out for a meal, we're friends now, aren't we?"
"Is there something you need?" Gu Xiaobei gave him a sidelong glance.
"Nothing, just asking." Jin Cheng said as he casually picked up a newspaper to read.
