Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

“No. Because Brother is a kid my parents adopted.”

Qi Xiaoran told her the truth without deliberately hiding anything.

But she didn’t say much about other stuff.

She merely said vaguely, “My older brother and I depended on each other since young…”

This cleared up the matter.

No wonder. Two people not related by blood who grew up together and depended on each other since young.

In other words, they were childhood sweethearts. It shouldn’t be surprising that they developed feelings for each other.

Now Gu Qingjiu finally understood how that weird vibe she got from Qi Yefan came from.

It was an intense possessiveness towards Qi Xiaoran.

As though, Qi Yefan would get displeased if he even saw her get close to Qi Xiaoran.

After hearing Qi Xiaoran’s words, Gu Qingjiu fell into thought.

“Even so, I do not wish for others to find out about it. After all, you’re aware that in front of others we’re a pair of siblings. Although we have no blood ties, not many people would agree with what we’re doing. They would feel… disgusted.”

At this point, Qi Xiaoran’s face turned pale.

So it turned out she feared Gu Qingjiu would divulge this matter.

Fingers slightly trembling, Gu Qingjiu had wanted tto grab Qi Xiaoran’s hand to comfort her, but after some hesitation she didn’t reach out her hand and instead merely said, “Don’t worry. I absolutely won’t tell anyone about this.”

She didn’t even meddle in the matter of Qin Wange hiding something from her older brother, so all the more she wouldn’t tell others about Qi Xiaoran’s affairs for no rhyme or reason.

Gu Qingjiu spoke sincerely, and Qi Xiaoran nodded in response.

After this matter was resolved, Qi Xiaoran and Gu Qingjiu left together.

As for why Qi Xiaoran quarreled with her older brother, Gu Qingjiu naturally wouldn’t be a nosy-parker and ask her about that.

Although she had claimed she was going back to school, in actual fact she was going to look for Helian Niancheng.

She went separate ways with Qi Xiaoran halfway through.

When she reached the hotel, she was still feeling astounded about what she had just found out.

But even if it was Helian Niancheng, she didn’t divulge a word to him. It was just that Helian Niancheng, who happened to be at the hotel right now, was surprised to see her come back so early. “You’re back so early?”

“Mm, just went out to have a meal.”

“Oh yeah? Did something happen?”

Just by looking at Gu Qingjiu’s countenance, Helian Niancheng could guess it.

It was like his eyes had radars installed in them. Gu Qingjiu hesitated a moment, then told him about her older brother’s matter. “Do you remember what I told you about my older brother? Never mind that matter between him and Sister Wange. This time my brother is planning to go overseas to advance his career, and Sister Wange looks like she planned to give up her own job and go with my brother. My brother disagrees with her doing so.”

Helian Niancheng paused for a moment, a trace of surprise in his eyes. “It’s not so easy for her to go overseas with your older brother. But for her to have such an intention, it seems like she’s serious.”

Gu Qingjiu walked over to stand in front of Helian Niancheng. “I remember you mentioned Sister Wange is a Miss of the Qin family?”

“Yes.”

He nodded subtly. “Although she’s not of the Qin family’s legitimate line, she’s also considered a Young Miss. The Qin family wouldn’t agree to her going overseas with your older brother.”

Helian Niancheng raised a practical issue, making Gu Qingjiu’s brows crease slightly. “Although I want to help my older brother…”

“Don’t interfere in this matter.”

Helian Niancheng said blandly, “Qin Wange ought to be the one handling this matter. As his younger sister, however you meddle in this matter it will be inappropriate.”
