Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Disguised as a Boy

As Yang Qin and Gu Wenxuan placed their orders, they found a cozy spot to sit, conveniently diagonal to Gu Yining and Xiao Xiao. With her long hair cascading down her back, Gu Yining sat with her back to them, ensuring that she remained unnoticed.

When their bubble tea arrived, the two girls began to chat animatedly.

"Wenxuan, remember that ugly photo you asked me to take of Mu Xiaocao? I sent it to you, didn't I? What happened after that? Did you manage to use it to your advantage? That sugar daddy of hers must be furious!" Yang Qin asked, taking a sip of her tea with a playful smile.

Gu Wenxuan narrowed her eyes, a smirk appearing on her lips. "I heard that guy flew abroad for a whole week without talking to her. I think their relationship is done for." She took her time, holding the cup, hesitant to take a sip, fearing that this drink would tarnish her delicate constitution.

"Speaking of which, the Fu family members all have such prestigious backgrounds. How could they possibly fall for someone like her?" Yang Qin continued, curiosity piqued.

"Who knows? They must be blind," Gu Wenxuan replied, her disdain evident on her face. 

The thought that Fu Hanyan had chosen this "ugly girl" to be his wife while hardly sparing her a glance made her stomach turn. The disgust lingered, leaving her unable to eat anything.

Every word they said drifted directly into Gu Yining's ears, fueling her frustration. Clenching her phone tightly, she fought to maintain her calm facade.

No wonder Fu Hanyan had gone abroad for a week without saying a word, seemingly transformed. He must have suspected that his wife was involved with another man.

Yang Qin, Gu Wenxuan, your time is up.

Just as Gu Yining's phone chimed with a victorious notification, she tucked it away and leaned closer to Xiao Xiao. "Stay here and don't go anywhere. Wait for me to return."

With that, she turned and exited the bubble tea shop, leaving Xiao Xiao in a daze, processing what had just happened. 

Is she about to make another move?

About twenty minutes later, a boy dressed in a sleek black casual suit, with a crisp white shirt underneath, walked into the tea shop. 

His short hair was soft and slightly curly, and his delicate, handsome features seemed to have stepped right out of a painting. He had fair skin and a slender build.

Slung over his shoulder was an exquisite wooden guitar, which added an artistic flair to his already striking appearance.

As soon as he entered, many girls turned their heads, captivated by his presence. This clean-cut yet slightly melancholic boy felt like a beam of afternoon sunlight piercing through the mundane atmosphere.

Xiao Xiao, following the gazes of the others, found herself mesmerized by this young man, her eyes practically sparkling with hearts.

"Wow, this guy is so handsome! I have to go after him. Ningning, I'm ready to ditch my game for him!" she exclaimed, poised to leap from her seat.

Just then, a notification chimed on her phone.

"Stop right there! Don't even think about it; I'm your sister," the message read, and it was from Gu Yining.

Xiao Xiao looked up, phone in hand, only to see Gu Yining flashing a dazzling smile her way. 

There she stood at the counter, her back against the wall, holding a guitar and sporting a fake short wig. 

What the heck?! Just when I thought I could have a crush on a guy… it turns out my goddess is the one in disguise!

Xiao Xiao's excitement quickly shifted to disappointment. How many identities could Gu Yining assume? Just how many faces could she wear? It was astonishing.

Feeling a wave of melancholy wash over her, Xiao Xiao returned to her seat to regain her composure.

Meanwhile, Gu Yining successfully ordered her bubble tea and scanned the room, noting the busy atmosphere. She approached the table where Yang Qin and Gu Wenxuan sat, a cheerful demeanor masking her true intentions. "Excuse me, ladies, may I sit here?" she asked sweetly.

With her soft, fair face and innocent, wide eyes, she resembled the quintessential cute boy who had captured everyone's heart.

Yang Qin and Gu Wenxuan stared at her for a moment, completely enchanted.
