Chapter 276: First Time Calling Him Husband on Her Own

Gu Yifan spoke coldly, then hung up without giving Li Wenyuan a chance to reply.

“BEEP BEEP BEEP… BEEP BEEP BEEP…”

Hearing the dial tone, Li Wenyuan’s expression instantly darkened.

“BANG!”

He slammed his phone onto the ground!

“Good. Very good!”

“Gu, you wet-behind-the-ears brat! How dare you disrespect me!”

Li Wenyuan’s face was grim as he spoke.

…

“Are… are you okay?”

After Gu Yifan hung up, Su Qinghe, who was beside him, noticed his dark expression. She hesitated for a moment before asking softly.

Su Qinghe’s words brought Gu Yifan back to his senses. He gave her a faint smile.

“Hm… It’s nothing. Just some business stuff.”

“It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

Gu Yifan explained casually.

“Oh, okay.”

Seeing this, Su Qinghe knew things were definitely not as simple as Gu Yifan made them out to be.

However, since he wasn’t elaborating, Su Qinghe didn’t dare to press the issue. At a time like this, she could only choose to trust Gu Yifan and not add to his burdens.

“Come on, it’s really nothing. Don’t worry!”

“It’s just a small thing. I can handle it.”

Gu Yifan said again, “Come on… eat up. It won’t taste as good once it gets cold.”

“Okay.”

Su Qinghe nodded obediently.

After dinner, Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe didn’t drive straight back to their little courtyard.

Instead, they decided to take a stroll and enjoy the evening breeze.

The two walked for a while.

Once they felt they had digested their food, they found a set of steps and sat down.

Not far away, a street performer was strumming a guitar and singing with all his heart.

His singing was nowhere near as good as Gu Yifan’s, though.

But listening to the dated song on the cool night breeze had a certain charm of its own.

…

“He… His singing isn’t as good as yours!”

Su Qinghe said suddenly.

“Hm… My Su Hanhan certainly has good taste. He’s definitely not as good a singer as your husband here!”

Gu Yifan said with a slight smile.

As for the little incident in the restaurant earlier, the two of them had already completely forgotten about it.

“Then… do you want to go over and sing a song?”

Su Qinghe asked.

“Nah, I’d rather not cause any trouble.”

Gu Yifan said softly after glancing around.

He thought about how every time he’d sung in public before, someone had posted a video of it online. With that in mind, he decided against it.

“Oh… okay.”

Su Qinghe nodded.

She didn’t seem too happy about it.

Seeing her disappointment, Gu Yifan said, “If you really want to hear me sing, we can find some time to go to a KTV, just the two of us. I’ll sing for you until you’ve had your fill.”

“Hm?”

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up!

In her entire life, she had never been to an entertainment venue like a KTV before.

“Really?”

She looked at Gu Yifan and asked earnestly.

“Mhm…”

“Really.”

“Just the two of us. I’ll sing just for you.”

Gu Yifan nodded, his voice soft and gentle.

“Mhm~”

“Okay~”

Su Qinghe nodded, her face beaming with happiness.

Gu Yifan smiled and reached out to gently pinch Su Qinghe’s cheek.

Then, the two of them leaned against each other, quietly enjoying the evening breeze. The wind brushed across their faces, carrying the faint, earthy scent of the river water.

It wasn’t a pleasant smell, but it wasn’t unpleasant either.

“On a brightly lit street, a cold front suddenly arrives… A dream, like a hydrogen balloon, flies off into the sky…”

Listening to the indistinct singing from the distance.

Although the lyrics were muffled, she could tell it was an old, dated song.

Su Qinghe quietly glanced up at Gu Yifan beside her.

‘If only things could stay like this forever,’ Su Qinghe thought. ‘That would be so wonderful.’

“Su Hanhan~”

On the steps, Gu Yifan spoke softly to Su Qinghe. “Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”

“No reason… I just… I just wanted to look at you.”

Su Qinghe replied softly.

“Uh…”

Gu Yifan was taken aback for a moment.

“You silly girl~”

He shook his head and smiled, not saying anything more.

“Y-Yifan?”

Su Qinghe spoke up again suddenly.

“Hm??”

Gu Yifan turned to her, a puzzled look on his face. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you think… that people meeting each other is all predestined?”

“Like us, for example?”

Su Qinghe murmured, her gaze fixed on the surface of the river under a distant, faint streetlight.

“Uh…”

“Why the sudden question?”

Gu Yifan asked, confused.

‘Could this Su Hanhan have figured out that I’m a Reincarnator?’ he wondered.

‘But no one else knows my secret… that I’m a Reincarnator!’

“I sometimes wonder if everything we’re experiencing now is predestined, or maybe arranged by fate?”

Su Qinghe didn’t answer his question, continuing her train of thought.

Gu Yifan was speechless.

Just as Gu Yifan opened his mouth to say something, Su Qinghe spoke again.

“I… I was just thinking out loud!”

“Maybe it’s just because I’m so happy right now.”

“My life after meeting you… it’s something I never would have dared to dream of before.”

“Sometimes, I’m just so grateful to fate for letting me meet you.”

“If everything is predestined, then I’m very lucky!”

Su Qinghe turned to Gu Yifan, her expression earnest. “H… Hubby, thank you!”

“What a little fool you are.”

Gu Yifan shook his head, then gently pulled Su Qinghe into his arms. “Honestly,” he said, his voice soft and gentle, “I’m the one who’s lucky to have met you in this lifetime.”

“And! You were right about one thing!”

“All of this was already predestined.”

He turned to her, his expression serious. “We were destined to meet. I was destined to confess to you. You were destined to fall in love with me. We were destined to get engaged. And you are destined to marry me!”

WHOOSH.

Su Qinghe’s face instantly turned red.

She was so shy she didn’t dare to meet his gaze.

‘This “Big Bully” is as shameless as ever!’

Even the system in Gu Yifan’s mind was frantically roasting him for being so shameless.

However, Su Qinghe didn’t dare say anything at that moment.

‘Otherwise, I’ll be the one to suffer when we get back to the hotel!’

“H… Hubby, thank you.”

Su Qinghe murmured from his embrace, her face still red.

At her words, Gu Yifan’s hand froze.

‘This…’

‘Why is this Su Hanhan suddenly saying things like this again?’

“Silly girl, haven’t I told you? There’s no need to be so formal with me.”

“I’m the lucky one in this lifetime, lucky to have met you. You have no idea how many guys are jealous that I have such a beautiful, gentle girlfriend!”

Gu Yifan whispered in her ear.
