Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 251: Love is Willing to Break the Rules (1)

Gu Yusheng still kept his eyes on the necklace. He wasn’t exactly happy with what Lu Bancheng had said, but unhappiness didn’t show on his face. He thought Lu Bancheng must have been blind to not see the truth, so he didn’t bother to argue with him.

Lu Bancheng and Gu Yusheng had been friends for so long that he knew when Gu Yusheng would get mad and when he wouldn’t. Lu Bancheng continued, “Xiaokou is actually an emperor with three thousand concubines.”

Her? She’s so weak. How could that soft and sweet little troublemaker be an emperor with three thousand concubines? She’s a maid who’s sleeping with the master at most, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng smiled. He didn’t care about Lu Bancheng’s bullsh*t. He pulled out a tissue and wiped the dirty parts of the necklace for a while.

The more Lu Bancheng thought about it, the more he appreciated his analogy. He couldn’t help quietly giving himself a thumbs up. The playful look on his face was gone. He looked at Gu Yusheng seriously. “Bro Sheng, what do you think of Xiaokou now?”

Gu Yusheng paused in wiping the necklace for a second.

Lu Bancheng asked another question when he saw Gu Yusheng freeze. “Have you ever thought about what’s between you and Xiaokou, or your future?”

Gu Yusheng frowned and put down the tissue in his hand. He didn’t look up, but he answered Lu Bancheng in a very casual tone, “Why would I think about it that much?” He continued after he paused for a second, “Sister-in-law.”

Lu Bancheng was confused by those two words. He heard Gu Yusheng continue in a cold tone, “Call her sister-in-law.”

“Are you asking me to call Xiaokou…” Gu Yusheng, who had his head down, suddenly looked up before Lu Bancheng could finish saying Xiaokou’s name. He looked at Lu Bancheng aggressively, seemingly in warning to Lu Bancheng. Lu Bancheng was scared and immediately changed what he called Xiaokou. “Sister in-law, definitely.”

What a jealous man! How could he get jealous over a name?

He seemed to be more attracted to Xiaokou than he had thought the night before. It seemed that Gu Yusheng didn’t realize his heart had been stolen by Xiaokou in a subtle way.

It seemed that Gu Yusheng was dominant in their relationship, and Xiaokou was often wronged. However, if their romantic relationship was compared to gambling, Xiaokou didn’t lose much. It was Gu Yusheng who lost almost everything.

Lu Bancheng stared at Gu Yusheng for a long time until the waitress put their breakfast on the table. He stirred his soy milk with a spoon, then stopped stirring and called Gu Yusheng with a very serious voice. “Bro Sheng.”

Lu Bancheng rarely talked to people in such a serious voice. Gu Yusheng was a little shocked. He looked up and saw Lu Bancheng’s eyes.

Lu Bancheng pressed his lips slightly together and called Gu Yusheng again before he went straight to the point. He sounded extra serious. “Bro Sheng, are you falling in love with… sister in-law?”

Old habit almost caused Lu Bancheng to call her “Xiaokou.” Luckily, he corrected himself in time.

Such a simple question was like lightning, striking Gu Yusheng. His head went blank. He lost his ability to think.

Falling in love? Did I fall in love the woman at my house? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
