Chapter 172: A Large Apple (1) (1/2)

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan lingered in the city for a while. When the sky darkened, Mo Beihan brought her back to the Qing River Brigade.

When he had brought her to the Gu house, Gu Qingyao took a portion of what they had bought and waved at him with a smile. “Goodbye!”

Mo Beihan smiled. “I’ll speak to my mother when I get home. I’ll ask her to choose an auspicious date to discuss our marriage with your family. Wait for me!”

Gu Qingyao blushed.

Mo Beihan did not go in. He went straight home after seeing Gu Qingyao enter her house.

When Gu Qingyao entered the courtyard, she found the house silent and empty.

She had just finished putting away her things in her room when Gu Jinlin returned.

Gu Jinlin smiled when he saw his younger cousin. “Are you back?”

“Mhm!”

Gu Jinlin looked around the room and behind his younger cousin. “Did you buy anything nice? Did you manage to gouge a good sum out of Mo Beihan?”

Gu Qingyao raised her brows. “Haven’t you always told me I shouldn’t fritter away Elder Brother Beihan’s money?”

Gu Jinlin pursed his lips. When teaching the young girls in their family, of course the Gu family would not teach their children to spend other people’s money. It was the same for girls. This was a matter of upbringing.

But that fellow Mo Beihan was always finding opportunities to draw close to them. He and the cousins had always been on good terms and it was not so easy to get rid of him!

As they grew up, the older cousins all understood that this jerk meant to steal their younger cousin.

So when it came to Mo Beihan, they rationally felt that their younger cousin should not be freely spending someone else’s money, but emotionally, they sometimes felt that no matter how much Mo Beihan spent on their younger cousin, it was only right.

Hmph!

Gu Jinlin did not reply. Actually, he thought like that because all of them had accepted Mo Beihan as their cousin-in-law.

But he felt rather indignant when he thought about it. He had doted on this younger cousin since she was young, but now that she was grown up, she would belong to someone else. Bah!
