"..." Handsome uncle? A crack appeared on his usually stoic face, was he being referred to?
The same four words, but it was clearly not the same meaning for the two of them.
"Send me your address, I'll come pick you up," Gu Yuying hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Luo Qingli pinched her own cheek hard, so hard that it brought tears to her eyes.
Only then did she believe that Gu Yuying had really called her, "Text, yes, send a text. Address, address."
Even though Gu Yuying wasn't by her side, Luo Qingli was so nervous she could barely speak coherently.
In just five minutes, Luo Qingli had finished washing and changing clothes.
She was so excited! She was hummed a song as she left the house.
"Today is a good day, my heart's desires will be fulfilled..." She sang cheerfully, a victorious smirk flashed across Luo Qingli's face: My dear mother and father, wait for my triumphal return!
Yes, Luo Qingli was thrilled that Gu Yuying had called her, but what she cared about more were her parents' attitudes.
After being oppressed for twenty years, she was finally going to hold her head high.
Because of her excitement, Luo Qingli even did a somersault in mid-air.
She somersaulted right over five steps, this was a piece of cake for Luo Qingli who had learnt martial arts since childhood.
And, her parents had trained her to climb stairs since childhood, over time, she had gotten used to climbing stairs, even when living on the ninth floor, she rarely took the elevator.
She ran all the way to the gate of the community, Gu Yuying was already there. Seeing Luo Qingli, he drove over immediately.
"Handsome uncle!" Luo Qingli greeted warmly.
"Get in!" Gu Yuying wasn't wearing glasses today, which made him look much sharper.
Just as Luo Qingli opened the back car door to get in, she heard Gu Yuying's deep and sexy voice say, "I'm not your driver, sit in the front."
"Oh!" Closing the car door, Luo Qingli moved to the passenger seat. "Handsome uncle, when did you arrive?"
"Could you not call me those four words?" Although it was a question, it was a statement.
"Then I'll call you uncle! Uncle!" Luo Qingli sweetly called out to Gu Yuying.
"I'm not that old," Gu Yuying said through gritted teeth.
Luo Qingli paused for a moment, then followed it up with a brilliant smile, "I got it, Handsome!"
"Forget it, you might as well just call me uncle!" Gu Yuying decided to drop the argument over what she called him.
Any name would do.
Although he seemed aloof, he was in fact always polite to everyone. The only reason he was cold to Luo Qingli was...
He and the chief of the police department, Shen Haoxuan, were classmates. Seeing him still single at 32 and without a girlfriend, Shen Haoxuan concluded that Gu Yuying must be gay.
Despite his talents as a top-lawyer, Gu Yuying couldn't convince him otherwise.
Unless Gu Yuying agreed to a blind date with Shen's cousin, Shen swore he wouldn't believe him.
However, on the day of the blind date, Shen Haoxuan's cousin had left town.
But he had already asked Gu Yuying to come along. As he was worrying where to find a woman, Zhao Wanru willingly offered her daughter, Luo Qingli.
Zhao Wanru didn't realize that she was helping Shen Haoxuan out and had offered her own daughter for marriage.
No wonder Luo Qingli insisted she wasn't her biological daughter with such an unreliable mother.
Even now, Gu Yuying still thought Luo Qingli was Shen Haoxuan's cousin.
