Chapter 251: Su Qianqian Is Back? Yan Luoxi: Almost Forgot About This Love Rival

Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Su Qianqian Is Back? Yan Luoxi: Almost Forgot About This Love Rival

The guy was rendered speechless.

’I might be average-looking, but I’m not some kind of ugly monster, am I?’

’Even though I’m average, at least I’m self-aware. These girls, on the other hand, are completely delusional!’

Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian paid no mind to the stares of the passersby.

The two of them arrived at the grocery section.

"Yizhou, let’s get a cart!"

Su Qianqian said, looking at the shopping carts off to the side.

"Okay."

Since they were there to buy groceries, Gu Yizhou had no objections.

In the supermarket, Gu Yizhou pushed the shopping cart while Su Qianqian walked beside him, a smile never leaving her face.

The two of them made their way to the seafood section.

Su Qianqian stared at all the strange-looking fish and crabs with a curious expression.

She was just like a curious child!

Having grown up in a mountain village, Su Qianqian was genuinely fascinated by all the live seafood.

"Yizhou, Yizhou, look quick! What is this?"

"It’s so cute!"

Gu Yizhou looked over to where Su Qianqian was pointing.

Er...

’Cute???’

Gu Yizhou’s face darkened with exasperation.

He spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Classmate Su, that... that’s a geoduck..."

Yes! That’s right!

It was that bizarrely shaped creature!

Colloquially known as the "bull-X clam"...

So named because it also resembles a bull...!

And Su Qianqian had just called this thing cute?

Gu Yizhou secretly glanced at her.

’Ugh...’

’An image is forming in my head...’

’The thought of Su Qianqian holding a geoduck, smiling and saying how cute it is...’

HISS...

’That mental image is too vivid, I can’t even bear to think about it...’

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Su Qianqian ask, "Yizhou, do you know how to cook this? Why don’t we eat this tonight?"

"Huh??"

Gu Yizhou snapped back to his senses and asked, "What did you just say?"

Su Qianqian rolled her eyes at Gu Yizhou and repeated, "I said, why don’t we eat this cute little guy tonight?"

Gu Yizhou: "..."

"Eat... this??"

"How would we even eat it??"

Gu Yizhou asked.

Ugh...

As soon as he said it, another image flooded his mind...

’Eat...’

HISS...

"Classmate Su, let’s forget it. We’re not eating that. It doesn’t taste good!"

Gu Yizhou shook his head, trying to clear away the distracting thoughts.

"Huh? It doesn’t taste good?"

"Oh, okay then. We won’t eat it!"

Su Qianqian said, a little disappointed.

PHEW...

Gu Yizhou secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then, he saw that there were live groupers nearby.

The recipe for steamed grouper instantly flashed through his mind.

So he said, "Hey... let’s have fish tonight. This kind is especially tender and delicious when steamed!"

"Really?"

Su Qianqian’s eyes lit up, and she spoke excitedly like a hungry kitten.

"Yeah. When I lived at home, my mom made this all the time. It’s really delicious."

Gu Yizhou said with a nod.

"I see. Then let’s have this fish tonight."

Hearing that, Su Qianqian said with a smile.

Gu Yizhou then called over a store employee to help net a grouper and have it cleaned.

The cleaning process was a bit bloody.

Gu Yizhou had been worried that Su Qianqian wouldn’t be able to stomach the scene.

But he noticed she didn’t show any sign of discomfort.

She even seemed to be watching with great interest!

Of course, it was no problem for Su Qianqian. After all, she was a girl from the countryside.

She had seen fish being killed many times.

She had even killed and cleaned fish with her own hands before!

So, it was nothing out of the ordinary for her.

By the time they finished buying all their ingredients, it was already seven in the evening.

Seeing how late it was, the two of them hurried to the checkout counter to pay and head home.

It was getting late, and neither of them had eaten dinner yet.

They still had to prepare all the ingredients when they got back, which would also take a fair amount of time.

They needed to hurry.

「Meanwhile.」

At Binjiang No. 1 Mansion, apartment 305.

’It’s this late, and that stinking jerk still isn’t back?’

’Did something happen to him on the way?’

’Or maybe there was a traffic jam today?’

Yan Luoxi walked out of the bedroom. She stared at the dark living room, her mind filled with questions.

CLICK...

Just then, the sound of the front door unlocking came from the living room entrance...

FLICK!

Gu Yizhou reached out and turned on all the lights in the living room.

The moment the lights came on,

Gu Yizhou saw Xiaobai sprawled on the sofa.

And on the sofa, Yan Luoxi’s gaze immediately landed on Gu Yizhou, who was carrying bags of all sizes. Her azure eyes lit up slightly!

However.

The next second.

Yan Luoxi’s eyes went wide!

Because she now saw Su Qianqian standing behind Gu Yizhou.

’Hm?’

Yan Luoxi’s tiny brow furrowed.

’How did that flat-chested brat come back with that dog of a man?’

’It’s been so long since I’ve seen this flat-chested little brat, I’d almost forgotten I had such a "love rival."’

’But!’

’Why did the two of them suddenly come back together today?’

’Did they secretly get together again behind my back?!’

In that instant, fury surged through Yan Luoxi!

"MEOOOOW!!!"

She roared at Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian.

But the sound that came out was just the mewling of a kitten!

Completely non-threatening!

To Gu Yizhou and Su Qianqian, it just sounded incredibly cute!

"Xiaobai, Daddy’s home!"

"You little glutton, you didn’t sneak out to play while Daddy was away today, did you?"

Gu Yizhou said as he walked over to the sofa.

After putting the groceries on the dining table, he scooped Xiaobai up into his arms.

The smile on his face was genuine!

"MEOW!!"

Yan Luoxi cried out at Gu Yizhou!

She struggled, trying to break free from his grasp.

But Gu Yizhou held her so tightly that she couldn’t escape at all.

Seeing how happy Gu Yizhou was, Su Qianqian smiled as well.

She walked to the dining table, gathered the groceries, and took them into the kitchen!

She planned to cook a meal for Gu Yizhou herself!

Children from poor families learn to be independent early.

So, things like cooking were no challenge for her!

Meanwhile, Yan Luoxi was being held and lifted up high by Gu Yizhou!

Although she saw what Su Qianqian was doing,

there was nothing she could do right now.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, did you sneak out to meet your old flame again?"

Gu Yizhou suddenly added, "No, I mean your old tomcat-flame!"

Yan Luoxi: "..."

’Flame, my ass!’

’Do you think everyone is like you, hitting on a new woman every other day and even bringing her home?!’

Yan Luoxi was both furious and speechless!

She truly wanted to bite this damned man to death!

She swiped at Gu Yizhou’s hand with her small, pink-padded paws.

But the moment her paw touched him,

she quietly retracted her sharp claws.

She couldn’t bring herself to do it!

If it had been anyone else, Yan Luoxi would have long since turned them to dust.

The problem was, when it came to Gu Yizhou, she really couldn’t bring herself to hurt him...
