CH 89

It is impossible to say that Luo Bei has no opinions about Lei Yuhao, and Gu Qianyan’s words can be said to hit the nail on the head.

It is not that Lei Yuhao was not aware of his love for Pianpian before, but rather that his actions were unacceptable. To put it plainly, he really wanted to enjoy the best of both worlds. If he had been a bit more decisive and had actively proposed to break off his relationship with Pianpian and get engaged to someone else, Luo Bei would have respected him as a man.

To want to get engaged to someone else, while maintaining the same relationship with Pianpian, this person’s thoughts are truly nauseating.

However, Luo Bei is not Zhao Pianpian. Zhao Pianpian has deep feelings for Lei Yuhao. As an outsider, she cannot offer her subjective advice to Zhao Pianpian.

Luo Bei sighed, “This is Pianpian’s own business. We’d better not interfere.”

Gu Qianyan glanced at her, “I knew you would say that.”

As he understood it, Luo Bei was the type of person who didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs. Even if she and Zhao Pianpian were the best of friends, she wouldn’t interfere in matters like this.

“How things are between her and Lei Yuhao, only they know. What can others do?” Luo Bei paused, “If she wants to be with him, then I wish them well. If she doesn’t want to be with him, I will support her. The worst thing friends can do is to make decisions for others.”

“It’s just that Lei Yuhao seems to want you to say a few good words to persuade Pianpian, but I refused him. He must have been given a hard time by Pianpian.” Otherwise, with Lei Yuhao’s unspeakable personality, he would never have spoken up until he had reached his limit.

“That’s good. Even if he comes to me, I won’t agree.” Luo Bei also praised Gu Qianyan, “Xiao Zhou, you did the right thing this time. You deserve praise.”

He understood her, so he helped her reject Lei Yuhao. Of course, his thoughts were in line with hers, which was rare among couples. He didn’t express any so-called understanding just because he and Lei Yuhao were both men. Otherwise, Luo Bei would feel uncomfortable, like swallowing a fly.

Gu Qianyan was taken aback, “Why are you still calling me Xiao Zhou?”

Luo Bei tentatively asked, “Then Xiao Gu?”

“Not that either.” He shook his head, thought for a moment, “I always feel that this kind of address is very old-fashioned, with a sense of being comrades in the production team.”

Luo Bei was amused by this analogy, “Then what should I call you, Qianyan?”

Gu Qianyan shook his head, “I will think you are calling someone else.”

He still couldn’t adapt to this new name, even though it was his real name for over twenty years.

“Then what do you want me to call you?”

“I can’t think of anything, but there must be a different nickname. Xiao Zhou or Xiao Gu is too unfamiliar.”

“Jianguo?”

Gu Qianyan looked at Luo Bei, “…Does it have to be that strange name?”

The two of them were silent, unable to come up with a proper name for Luo Bei to call him.

After discussing it for a while, they realized that the only options were “Xiao Zhou” or “Xiao Gu”, and it was too early for her to call him “husband”. Calling him “Qianyan”, both of them were not used to it. They even considered “Jianguo”, which doesn’t seem that impossible…

“Just call me Xiao Zhou, Xiao Gu, or Jianguo, whatever you feel like.”

Luo Bei burst out laughing. Was this what all couples did when they were in love? Argue for a long time just about what to call each other?

When Grandpa Gu heard that Gu Qianyan was washing cars in the shop, he rushed over with his old friend, Gu Qianyan’s maternal grandfather, to watch.

It was Luo Bei’s first time meeting Gu Qianyan’s maternal grandfather. He was a very cultured man, like a scholar in the ancient times. He was very polite and respectful to both the apprentice and the master.

Gu Qianyan’s maternal grandfather, surnamed Chen, was impressed when he saw Luo Bei and said directly in front of Gu Qianyan, “I like this child. I always thought Qianyan wouldn’t fall in love, but it seems he’s found someone lovely.”

When she heard this, Luo Bei’s ears turned red.

Although Gu Qianyan had mentioned that his family was kind and friendly, no one had told her how good his maternal grandfather was at chatting!

Gu Qianyan : “…” It’s unnecessary to emphasize the fact that I have been single for many years.

Although the apprentice knew that Grandpa Gu’s car was also owned by his own boss, when faced with this luxury car worth tens of millions, he still dared not wash it. So this heavy responsibility could only be handed over to Gu Qianyan, after all, he had washed the car before.

So, Grandpa Gu said to Luo Bei, “Beibei, can you please bring out two chairs? We’ll just sit outside and enjoy the sun.”

Grandpa Chen also nodded, “Yes, yes, I see the sun is really nice today.”

… But there was no sun today.

Although Luo Bei was helpless, she still had the apprentice bring out two chairs.

The two old men sat down and watched Gu Qianyan wash the car with enjoyment.

Luo Bei originally thought that Gu Qianyan wouldn’t wash Grandpa Gu’s car again, but she didn’t expect him to just roll his eyes and obediently change his clothes and start working.

Luo Bei : “…”

How hateful was his personality before?

Grandpa Gu said to Grandpa Chen, “You see, going out for a year of exercise is still effective. I can’t say anything else, but his car washing skills are really good.”

Grandpa Chen nodded happily, “I told you not to pick him up so early. His character really needs some tempering.”

Luo Bei stood on the side without saying a word.

“Thanks to you, Beibei,” Grandpa Chen said in a low voice, “He used to be…well, never mind.”

Grandpa Gu stood up and walked to the car, “I’ve told you so many times, even the seams of the tires need to be cleaned. Did I pay 25 yuan in vain?”

This almost became his mantra.

But Luo Bei could feel that although Gu Qianyan was very impatient, he didn’t say anything. He had told her before that in the service industry, one must face all kinds of situations. The service industry is all about serving customers.

Although it is inevitable to encounter malicious and difficult situations, as long as it is not too bad, who in the business world doesn’t practice patience?

She didn’t know what his personality was like before, but she knew him now. He is a person who is extremely responsible for his work. Even if the customer is an oddball or an extreme type, he can handle it well. He rarely has conflicts with others. Perhaps, as Grandpa said, he has experienced too much in this past year, climbing up from the bottom step by step, and knows better than anyone that life is not easy.

Luo Bei believes that Gu Qianyan, who has returned to his original place, will be even better than before.

Just like at this moment, although Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Chen are nitpicking at him in various ways, their eyes are full of satisfaction and pride.

Yes, he has become a better person, and that is something to be proud of.

Suddenly, Grandpa Chen looked at Luo Bei and whispered, “Beibei, in fact, our Qianyan is also a very good child.”

It seems like even Grandpa Chen knows about her being together with Gu Qianyan. But didn’t they just start dating yesterday? How come everyone found out so quickly?

Luo Bei nodded shyly. “I know. He has always been very good.”

Grandpa Chen breathed a sigh of relief only then. He has grandsons and granddaughters, but if he had to be honest, this grandson is the most capable one, so he was more fond of him. Although his temperament is a bit overbearing, overall, he is not a bad person. The only thing that makes people especially worried is that he has no plan to date. He is not young anymore, and they urged him at the dinner table during the Chinese New Year, but they always ended up being argued back and could not say anything.

After all, they are elders and won’t go into the details with him, but they are really worried that he will end up alone. However, thinking about his temperament, no one dares to arrange blind dates for him. After all, this guy used to be like a bomb, which would explode at any moment, making people unable to bear it.

But now, things are different. This kid has a girlfriend! Regardless of whether they will be together in the end, it means that at least he no longer rejects the idea and no longer thinks that it is a waste of time and life!

Isn’t this worth celebrating?

After washing the car, Grandpa Chen originally wanted to invite Luo Bei to have a meal, but he was dissuaded by Gu Qianyan’s words, “Please give the lovebirds some alone time.”

Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Chen immediately got in the car and left, but before they left, they reminded Gu Qianyan to go home tonight and go to the company for a meeting tomorrow.

Luo Bei was shocked by his words “lovebirds.”

However, their interaction now is not much different from before, except that they now hold hands, nothing seems to have changed.

Gu Qianyan generously gave the apprentice 300 yuan, asking him and the master to had a good dinner that night.

He and Luo Bei didn’t go to a fancy restaurant, but instead went to a hot pot place. In this cold weather, eating hot pot is the most comfortable activity.

There were also many people waiting for a table at the hot pot restaurant. When they were bored, Gu Qianyan pulled Luo Bei to take a very intimate photo. Although they had taken many photos before, this was the first time they were so intimate with one head resting on the other, and his hand resting on her shoulder. Their looks were placed here. Even without a filter, they looked very good.

Gu Qianyan didn’t know what it was like for others to be in a relationship, but he wanted to tell everyone who knows him and Luo Bei that they are in love.

He asked Luo Bei, “Sister Bei, don’t you mind me showing off our love?”

“If I say I mind, will you not show it off?”

“No.”

“Then that’s it. If you want to show it off, then show it off.”

Gu Qianyan sat there editing for a long time, and finally posted a Moments, attaching the photo they just took—
