CHAPTER 170: MR. GU, I’M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR FAMILY.

Entering the living room, Qiao Lech was waiting there.

Seeing Gu Yanjing, she had already prepared herself mentally for a while, but there were two more people besides Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Lech’s face froze, and she instinctively took a step back.

Gu Yanjing didn’t even look at her, but he sensed her resistance. He looked back at Meng Yan and Shang Chen and said, "Put the stuff down, you two can head back."

They had come in two cars.

One car carried people, the other was filled with things.

"Leave the remaining items at the door," Gu Yanjing said.

"Yes."

Meng Yan and Shang Chen quickly left after putting the items down.

Once they were gone, Qiao Lech felt a bit relieved and awkwardly called out, "Brother-in-law."

This call of "brother-in-law" was heard by Qiao Yu, who had just entered the living room.

Qiao Yu gave her a warning glance, telling her not to call out randomly.

Gu Yanjing glanced at her and acknowledged, "Mm."

Qiao Yuxian specifically didn’t stop Meng Yan and Shang Chen, allowing them to come in.

Qiao Lech hadn’t seen outsiders for a long time. She wanted her to try interacting with others, but it seemed it still wasn’t working well.

Qiao Yuxian nudged Gu Yanjing’s shoulder and whispered, "How does it feel being called brother-in-law for the first time?"

"Ahem!" Qiao Yu suddenly coughed.

Qiao Yuxian promptly stood up straight, even moving a bit to the side.

Gu Yanjing noticed the distance between them getting wider, just as Qiao Yu walked over, and he looked up at him.

As for Qiao Yu... he walked straight past him without even glancing at him.

The dignified Mr. Gu had never been ignored like this before.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him sympathetically.

Gu Yanjing wasn’t upset; instead, he accepted Qiao Yu’s attitude. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Qiao Yuxian’s head.

Qiao Lech kept her head down, secretly watching their interaction.

Chen Hui pulled Qiao Zhiang into the living room and saw Gu Yanjing’s gesture, but she didn’t say anything. She only spoke after he put his hand down, "Mr. Gu, please sit. Just coming is enough; you didn’t have to bring so many things."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Lech.

Receiving the look, Qiao Lech immediately went to make tea.

"It’s my duty," Gu Yanjing said.

Chen Hui smiled, "Thank you so much today. Zhiang is too naughty, sorry to trouble you."

"It’s nothing."

Qiao Zhiang stood quietly on the side, not daring to speak.

Chen Hui added, "Have a seat."

They sat down, while outside, Meng Yan and Shang Chen were still moving things.

After several trips, they piled up the entrance to the Qiao Family Villa before they finished.

Then they drove off.

Shang Chen was driving, and Meng Yan was flexing his wrist in the passenger seat. He suddenly recalled why back then, when talking on behalf of their madam, their Mr. Gu was already at the door and still let him in.

Because their Mr. Gu had already considered meeting the parents one day, and the task of directly offending others was delegated to him.

Meng Yan slapped his forehead.

Shang Chen, seeing his constipated look as he drove, stopped halfway to buy a box of laxatives at the pharmacy.

Meng Yan, waiting in the car, watched him return and was just about to ask what was up when a large cardboard box was tossed onto his leg.

Meng Yan was momentarily stunned, picked up the box, and looked at it.

Then his face turned ashen, and he incredulously looked at Shang Chen.

The box was big, containing eighteen doses.

Meng Yan felt as if lightning struck his mind; he was speechless for a long time.

Finally, he could only clutch the box and move towards the car door, distancing himself from him.

Meanwhile, Shang Chen was quite pleased with his attentiveness and kindness, interpreting all of Meng Yan’s reactions as gratitude...

Qiao Family.

Gu Yanjing wasn’t much of a talker, but Chen Hui was very good at conversation.

Effortlessly, through chatting, she asked what she wanted to know.

Even though Gu Yanjing had a strong, harsh aura, she truly managed to disregard status and prestige, seeing him just as Qiao Yuxian’s boyfriend.

She got to know what she wanted to know.

She understood how he felt about Qiao Yuxian.

Gu Yanjing’s voice was cold, but you could feel he was earnest in his conversation with Chen Hui.

Until Chen Hui went to cook, Qiao Yuxian went to help, and Qiao Lech also ran off.

The only ones left in the living room were Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yu, and Qiao Zhiang, who was doing homework, when Qiao Yu finally spoke.

And all that he said expressed almost the same meaning.

Your Gu Family isn’t good; my daughter would suffer there.

Honestly, I’m not thrilled with your family.

I’m afraid my daughter could be in danger.

Gu Yanjing’s expression didn’t change from start to finish; he just assured him.

He would ensure Qiao Yuxian’s safety.

After dinner at the Qiao Family, Gu Yanjing and the others left.

Qiao Yu knew they were living together and hadn’t reacted too much in the past. But today, watching her leave with Gu Yanjing, Qiao Yu was seething internally.

If he hadn’t been so hands-off with Qiao Yuxian all these years...

He felt guilty, and being so old, he was ashamed to control her; otherwise, he would’ve dragged Qiao Yuxian off that car long ago.

He gritted his teeth and watched them leave.

After they left, Chen Hui said, "What’s the matter with you? They came all this way, and you gave them a sour face."

Qiao Yu sighed, "I tried to restrain myself, but I couldn’t."

"They were already very nice," Chen Hui said. "Otherwise, with their status, would they even look at your scowling face? They let it slide for Yuxian’s sake and didn’t argue with you."

Qiao Yu sighed again.

Chen Hui asked, "What’s troubling you? Ever since you knew Yuxian’s boyfriend could be Gu Yanjing, you’ve been worried."

"The Gu Family is a den of wolves. I’m afraid for Yuxian’s safety," Qiao Yu said.

Chen Hui listened silently.

Qiao Yu’s eyes flickered as if thinking of something, and he said, "The higher they stand, the more vulnerable they become."

Chen Hui clasped his hands.

Qiao Yu came back to his senses, looked at her, and said, "Let’s go, let’s head back."

...

On the way back to Fenglin Villa, Qiao Yuxian turned her head to look at Gu Yanjing.

Because she knew Gu Yanjing had to drive, they didn’t drink at dinner.

Gu Yanjing, noticing her gaze, turned his head to look at her while waiting at a red light.

Qiao Yuxian immediately smiled, "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her and asked, "Do I seem unhappy?"

"Not at all." Qiao Yuxian placed her hand over his handbrake hand, "But you seemed to be pondering something."

"Mm."

"What were you thinking about?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I was thinking maybe we shouldn’t have children," Gu Yanjing said.

"Huh?" Qiao Yuxian was momentarily dumbfounded.

A bit dazed and adorable.

Gu Yanjing lightly touched her face, his voice calm, "If we have a son, I’d worry nobody would be willing to give their daughter to him, and if we have a daughter, I’d fear no one would dare to marry her."

Qiao Yuxian bit her lip slightly.

Qiao Yu’s reaction today would be understandable if it was Gu Yanjing he was facing.

Faced with anyone else, they might run for it halfway through.

Similarly, if you consider Gu Yanjing...

Who could handle Gu Yanjing’s cold demeanor?

It’s enough to frighten them off.

If she didn’t want to marry, that’s one thing. But if she did and couldn’t because of her family...

Qiao Yuxian dared not think further.

Gu Yanjing watched her seriously pondering and kept his eyes on her.

When Qiao Yuxian looked up, she saw the faint smile in his eyes. She pretended to be fierce and smacked his arm, "I have half the say in whether we have kids; you don’t get to decide."

Gu Yanjing slightly raised the corners of his mouth and started the car, "You have all the say."

Qiao Yuxian glanced at him, and after a moment, slowly moved to rest her hand on his arm, "I have the final say."
