Once Luo Qingli started talking about her father's current job, something she felt was a bit of a waste, she couldn't stop.
Feeling like once she started talking, she couldn't rein it back in.
"Understood!" It was simple and clear.
At that moment, the dishes they ordered were served one by one.
Along with the food, a glass of red wine and a glass of juice were also served. Luo Qingli curiously asked, "Uncle, can't you drink alcohol?"
Gu Yuying looked puzzled for a second before understanding the meaning behind Luo Qingli's question. He answered naturally, "The juice is for you. You're still young, it's not suitable for you to drink alcohol."
In Gu Yuying's mind, even though they only knew each other for two days, he saw Luo Qingli as a child.
"Uncle, I'm already of age and can drink. Moreover… Isn't today the day we get our marriage certificate? We should drink to celebrate…" Luo Qingli's voice trailed off at the end.
"Let's talk about it after you graduate from high school. Until then, no more drinking. Follow my advice." His decision was firm and unilateral.
Luo Qingli couldn't resist Gu Yuying's authoritative energy, even her mother didn't instill the same kind of… respect and fear in her.
"Okay!" Luo Qingli greatly regretted not focusing on her studies, otherwise, she would have already been in university.
It was incredibly embarrassing. She was almost twenty, yet she was still in high school.
Nonetheless, Luo Qingli recovered quickly. She lifted her glass of wine and sweetly said, "Uncle, cheers to us becoming husband and wife!"
Although he found her behaviour childish and despite Luo Qingli being a young girl, Gu Yuying still couldn't understand how he ended up choosing someone like her to be his life partner.
But he cooperated with Luo Qingli's gesture, gracefully raising his own goblet. His lips parted to say, "Cheers!"
Luo Qingli was a little annoyed, thinking, why is it that someone else's toast could look so elegant and noble, while hers looked as if she was drinking beer on the streetside.
This was incredibly unfair. It was an identical action after all.
Luo Qingli just sat there, staring blankly at Gu Yuying and the elegance he displayed even while picking up the food. It looked as beautiful as a painting.
She swore to herself, she did not have a crush on him and she wasn't exaggerating one bit.
Thinking about how this man would be her husband, Luo Qingli couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't fancy the food?" Gu Yuying asked, unable to get comfortable under Luo Qingli's stare. This was much more unsettling than any other situation he'd been in.
He could barely handle her "spicy" gaze!
"No, no. The food is delicious." Luo Qingli immediately shifted her focus from him to the delicious dishes on the table.
No wonder the Uncle had ordered so many dishes, the portions were so tiny!
Without another thought, Luo Qingli started eating.
As natural as if she were at home, Luo Qingli quickly forgot about the person opposite her. Like wind sweeping away leaves, several plates were emptied in a flash.
It was only when she picked up her glass and chugged down the juice that she remembered that her Uncle was sitting across from her.
She wasn't dining at home today, so she didn't have to compete with anyone for food.
Embarrassed, she smiled at Gu Yuying and explained with a flushed face. "Uncle, I don't usually eat this much or this impolitely. I'm just really hungry at the moment. Yes! I'm just really hungry…"
Some of you may be asking if this story is about Gu Yiyi's brother. The answer is: Yes, it is!
