Chapter 1270: Chapter 1290

Rong You hesitated before speaking, finally saying, "Qiqi, the brothers know you’ve been successfully proposed to. It’s my fault; I told them without your permission. I... I didn’t expect such a big reaction from them."

Rong You looked like he knew he had done something wrong.

"About this, I originally wanted to tell everyone. Wasn’t planning to do it after dinner? No other issues, right?" Qiao Qiqi ignored the five brothers and only looked at Sixth Brother.

Rong You shook his head, indicating there were no other issues besides this.

After listening, Qiao Qiqi turned and ran outside, "Then I’m going to eat. Gu Shili made dinner especially for me—all my favorites! We can talk after dinner."

"Qiao Qiqi, come back here!" Rong Che stood up and shouted.

But the young lady had already vanished, her speed faster than a rabbit’s.

The few men who were preparing to investigate, "...?"

They hadn’t even spoken yet!

Did she really just run off?

Rong You looked at his fleeing sister in shock, clearly surprised by her quick exit.

Just... can she really do that?

Seeing the brothers’ complex expressions, he really wanted to laugh but had to hold it in.

Gu Shili was feeling down, yet he had still prepared dinner, planning to set it aside and reheat it when Qiqi returned. But then he heard a noise outside, and saw Qiao Qiqi coming back.

"I’m not late, right? Made it in time for dinner?" Qiao Qiqi asked as she ran in.

"How did you come back so quickly? Dinner’s just ready, not late." Gu Shili looked at her in shock.

"Of course, I wanted your cooking! Come on, let’s eat." Qiao Qiqi happily went to wash her hands, then helped serve the dishes, preparing to eat.

The two sat down, and only then did Qiao Qiqi breathe a sigh of relief. Today was the day Gu Shili proposed to her, and he had so thoughtfully prepared dinner. She certainly had to accompany him and eat together.

Otherwise, he’d be very disappointed.

Qiao Qiqi felt a pang of heartache at the thought.

Gu Shili kept serving her food, his phone started ringing, and he glanced at it, frowned and immediately hung up. Qiao Qiqi asked, "Whose call? Why didn’t you answer?"

"Nothing important," Gu Shili replied.

Sometimes Qiao Qiqi felt being too smart wasn’t always good, so she said, "Your mom’s call? Is she looking for you about something?"

"None of it’s important. It might be important to her, but it’s not to me at all." Gu Shili was actually a bit annoyed right now, his birth mother finding reasons to contact him every day. He really wished he could sever ties with her.

"How about this, you could assign her an assistant. Then, for whatever she needs, she can look for the assistant instead. You can’t possibly revolve around her every day." Qiao Qiqi could see that his mom wanted Gu Shili to focus on her daily.

Such a woman is really quite peculiar.

"My wife is indeed the smartest. I’ll handle it right away." Gu Shili was already bothered to death by his mother, but he couldn’t completely ignore his birth mother.

Having an assistant as a middleman would be good.

"No rush, discuss it later. Let’s eat first. Today is our special day." Qiao Qiqi served him food too.

The two enjoyed a harmonious meal together.

After dinner, Qiao Qiqi suggested watching a movie, and they both snuggled on the sofa to watch.

Gu Shili kept offering fruits to the girl beside him, Qiao Qiqi watched the movie intently and ate the fruits diligently, happiness bubbling around her.

Thankfully, no one disturbed them afterwards, allowing the two to enjoy a blissful time together.
