Chapter 25
Helping The Neighbor
Yin Xun was speechless.
What’s going on? I was just here to apologize. Why am I suddenly being called girlfriend?
Before Yin Xun could react, Gu Miao’s expression turned ugly. She forced out a smile and said, “Ah Yao, I know you’re still at loggerheads with Uncle and Auntie. It’s normal for a family to have some friction. It’ll be fine in a few days. You don’t have to find a woman to be your girlfriend, right? You can tell me if there’s anything you need, I can help you…”
“I’m serious.” Fang Yao replied calmly.
“When did you and Ah Yao meet?” Gu Miao turned around and asked Yin Xun directly. She did not believe that Fang Yao, who usually did not get close to women, would suddenly have a girlfriend.
Father and Mother Fang had their eyes on her. She had worked so hard for so long, he must not be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by this woman.
Yin Xun listened to the conversation between the two in front of him and finally understood. It seemed that this woman liked her neighbor, and the neighbor pretended she was his girlfriend to stop her from pursuing him, or for some other reason.
It seemed that this girl did not believe her relationship with her neighbor, so she turned around to ask her.
It was just a favor, a small matter. Yin Xun’s first impression of this neighbor of hers was not bad because the neighbor immediately let go of her after bringing her in. He had not done anything overboard. Just now, he grabbed her wrist but did not have any intention of offending her.
Yin Xun put her hands behind his back and touched Fang Yao quietly. She gave him a look, indicating that she would cooperate with him. Fang Yao immediately understood what Yin Xun meant.
“We met the day before yesterday. Fate is such a wonderful thing. Some people are like this. Even if it’s the first time meeting, we immediately were attracted to each other like opposing magnetic fields and got together,” Yin Xun said half-truthfully.
They had indeed just met, and fate was indeed wondrous. She was actually the one who had been caught peeking at his house. However, being together meant a lot more. They were neighbors now, which was another form of being together.
After she finished speaking, she even turned around and asked Fang Yao, “Don’t you think so? My dear boyfriend?”
Fang Yao nodded. He did not expect Yin Xun to be so good at acting, and he looked at her with a smile.
He simply felt that she was pretty funny, but in Gu Miao’s eyes, it was not the same. She thought that the two of them were looking at each other affectionately, and a flame of jealousy rose in her heart. However, she did not dare to show it, so she could only force a smile.
Yin Xun looked at Gu Miao and sighed in her heart. There were plenty of fish in the sea, so there was no need to hang onto a single line. He had already made it clear that he did not like her, so if she continued to pester him, she would only be the one who would get hurt.
After saying these few words cooperatively, Yin Xun did not say anything else. She had no enmity with Gu Miao and was merely doing her neighbor a favor. There was no need to make things difficult for her. Moreover, she did not have such intentions.
“My girlfriend’s here. Miss Gu, can you go back now? If my girlfriend misunderstands, I’ll be in trouble.” Fang Yao took the box from the butler and asked Yin Xun, “Can I open it and take a look?”
“Of course you can. This is for you.” Yin Xun nodded.
Fang Yao untied the ribbon and opened the box. When he saw what was inside, his expression was strange for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal.
When he took out the gift, Gu Zheng and the butler were very curious and craned their necks to look over. When they saw the gift in Fang Yao’s hand, the butler could not help but sigh, “It’s a lamp, and it’s made of crystal.”
Gu Zheng was speechless.
Why did she have the feeling that the butler was declaring her the loser or something?
“Alright, now that you’ve seen my girlfriend, it’s time for us to spend some alone time together. It’s time for you to leave. Butler, send Miss Gu back.”
Hearing Fang Yao’s words, Gu Zheng could no longer control her expression. Her face turned pale, and even the corners of her lips trembled.
She paused for a moment and forced a smile, trying to fight for a chance for herself. “Yao, we’ve been friends for so many years. You can’t abandon your old friend just because you have a girlfriend. Besides, there’s nothing between us. Your girlfriend won’t mind, right? she doesn’t look like a petty person.”
“Yao and I grew up together,” she said, looking at Yin Xun. “You wouldn’t mind our relationship, would you?”
Yin Xun almost laughed out loud when she saw this standard behavior.
Having lived for so long, she never thought that she would encounter this kind of female supporting character in novels. For some reason, she was actually a little excited.
