Chapter 246: She Touched Her Flowers
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At dinner time, the four of them sat at the table and the atmosphere was not bad.
Big Brother Murong Chen and Murong Qiao were closer. Meanwhile, Murong Chuan and Gu Yin were on the other side.
“Speaking of which, we met at work.” Gu Yin started the conversation.
She looked at Murong Chuan with a smile. When she saw his gentle eyes, she could not help but feel relieved.
This was her first time visiting Murong Chuan’s house, and she could not help but feel a little nervous.
Their relationship had been developing well recently. If she could gain the favor of his family this time, she would probably be able to become his official girlfriend.
Hearing that they met at work, Murong Qiao was a little curious. “Are you also a teacher at Hui University?”
She flipped through her memories of the teachers she had seen before, but she had no impression of Gu Yin. The two of them had probably never met before.
“Yes, but I’m not in the same major as him.” Gu Yin nodded.
At the mention of her position at Hui University, Gu Yin’s face showed a little pride. After all, if she could be a teacher at Hui University, she would be considered as one of the top teachers in the country.
However, she had some impression of Murong Qiao, who asked her the question. Although she didn’t teach the Economics Department, Murong Qiao’s outstanding results were always mentioned by the teachers of the Economics Department.
Every time the teachers interacted, Murong Qiao was definitely the pride of the Department of Economics and Management. Therefore, although Gu Yin had never seen her before, she more or less knew a little.
Gu Yin scooped the soup into her bowl with a spoon and helped Murong Chuan scoop another bowl. “For you.”
Murong Chuan naturally took it. From their intimate posture, it could be seen that their relationship was not bad.
Murong Qiao wanted to take another look, but when she lowered her head, she saw that her Big Brother had stuffed a lot of delicious food into her bowl. There were also many green vegetables inside.
“Brother—” she dragged out.
Murong Chen put the vegetables into her bowl without changing his expression. “Eat more to nourish your body, and don’t be picky.”
Before she could say anything, her Big Brother took the initiative. Murong Qiao pouted. Seeing that her Big Brother’s resistance was obviously ineffective, she could only eat the vegetables obediently.
She liked to eat meat more, so she subconsciously didn’t eat vegetables every time.
Ever since Murong Chen found out about this problem, he had been urging her to eat some vegetables.
“Carrot is good for the eyes,” Murong Chuan said, picking up some food and putting it into her bowl.
Thinking that Murong Qiao required a lot of attention to listen to her lectures, Murong Chuan followed Murong Chen’s action and added more food to Murong Qiao’s plate.
Murong Qiao hurriedly protected her bowl. “Enough, enough. If I eat any more, I’ll turn green!”
She used her actions to protest the “deep” love of her two Big Brothers. This scene had just been witnessed by Gu Yin.
The two top-notch men were so gentle to Murong Qiao. This scene made Gu Yin a little envious.
Murong Qiao had been raised so well. It was obvious that her Big Brothers doted on her.
Such a carefree and wonderful life should be what every girl dreamed of.
It was clearly like a dream, but this was the first time Gu Yin had seen someone receive such treatment in reality.
“I’m done!” Murong Qiao was the first to speak.
She had always eaten quickly. Of course, this time, with the “love” of her Big Brothers as a bonus, she couldn’t take it anymore.
Murong Qiao got up and retreated first. She was about to return to her room and even took a portion of her favorite cake.
Gu Yin watched her go upstairs in surprise and couldn’t help but be surprised at how much Murong Qiao was doted on.
Shouldn’t the rules of such a large family be very strict?
“I’m full too,” she said with a smile.
Murong Qiao had already left. If she continued eating, wouldn’t it make her look like she could eat a lot?
Murong Chuan thought that she was on a diet, so he did not ask further. “If you’re bored, you can go out and take a look. The scenery in the manor is not bad.”
This was the first time Murong Chuan had brought someone to his house. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he did not know what to do.
Fortunately, he knew Gu Yin’s preferences, so he recommended her to walk around. The Murong family’s manor was usually taken care of by someone, and the scenery was not bad. It should suit her preferences.
“Alright.” Gu Yin also stood up. Her movements were much more elegant than Murong Qiao’s, but there was a hint of deliberateness.
She walked out curiously. When she stepped out, Gu Yin saw a large field of roses beside the house. They were blooming brightly.
Gu Yin followed the direction in her memory and came to the flowerbed.
The fragrance of the roses attacked her sense of smell first, making Gu Yin forget to exclaim. She looked at the endless roses in front of her in a daze and was shocked.
Gu Yin immediately had the thought of picking such beautiful roses. However, the moment she took a step forward, she seemed to have kicked something, causing her to lower her head to look.
It was a white sign.
“Private flowerbed. Do not pick…?” Gu Yin slowly read the words on the sign.
She only took a glance before looking away, no longer caring about the warning on it.
It was just a few roses, not to mention that she was Murong Chuan’s girlfriend. Who would care about such a small matter?
Gu Yin ignored the notice board and walked into the rose field.
As for Murong Qiao, she didn’t care much about what happened below. After returning to her room, she planned to finish the cake before continuing to write today’s ma.n.u.script.
She took a spoonful of cake and placed it in her mouth. The sweet and aromatic taste lingered in her mouth.
Murong Chuan seemed to like Gu Yin very much. She judged in her heart and recalled the time when she met Gu Yin.
She looked quite likable, but Murong Qiao didn’t feel anything after having a meal with her. She really didn’t feel much for Gu Yin.
“Forget it.” She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
After all, she was Murong Chuan’s future girlfriend. It would be best if Murong Chuan liked her.
Murong Qiao thought about this and focused on the computer in front of her again. Her fingers began to fly across the keyboard.
In addition to writing the ma.n.u.script, the teacher had also a.s.signed some homework this weekend. It would be best if she could complete it tonight.
However, things didn’t go as planned. She had just finished writing a chapter when there was a knock on the door.
Thump, thump, thump.
The sound of knocking on the door should be the butler, Uncle Yang.
She identified the person, put down her work, and stood up to open the door.
“Uncle Yang?” Murong Qiao looked at the butler in confusion.
Usually, she didn’t like to be disturbed at this time, but something must have happened for Uncle Yang to appear here.
The butler, Uncle Yang, bowed neither servile nor overbearing. “Young Miss Gu plucked your roses and made a garland to wear on her head.”
Murong Qiao frowned and didn’t say anything. Her face turned cold, and her eyes seemed to be tainted with frost.
“Got it.” She answered emotionlessly.
But when Uncle Yang heard her tone, he knew that Young Miss was extremely unhappy.
Her gaze was calm, but there was a fire hidden in it, as if it could burn at any moment.
Those roses were all flown over from France, not to mention how expensive the specialized care was. They could be sold for an astronomical price outside.
Most importantly, it was a gift from her grandfather. Yet, Gu Yin plucked it as if it was in her own house.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, in order to prevent guests from picking it by mistake, she had specially asked Uncle Yang to place a notice board at the entrance of the flowerbed.
The snow-white signboard was especially eye-catching in the background of the roses. She did not believe that Gu Yin did not see it.
Murong Qiao had just walked downstairs when she saw Gu Yin and Murong Chuan together.
Gu Yin was in a good mood. She placed her hands on the garland above her head and spun around in front of Murong Chuan.
She looked much happier than when she was eating just now. “1 made the garland myself. How is it? Does it look good?”
Gu Yin had been taking a walk outside to digest her food and had unknowingly wandered to the rose field.
The alluring red color almost burned one’s eyes. It was pa.s.sionate and beautiful. Just one look made her unable to look away.
It was the first time she had seen such roses, so she plucked a few and put them on her head..
