“Chu Anlan?” Chu Qing speculated that the grandmother Gong Yue referred to might be Chu Anlan.
“Oh, you’re quite remarkable. Besides being handsome, I’ve discovered another positive quality in you: boldness. But don’t fret, since you’re my fiance, 1 won’t report this to Grandma Chu,” Gong Yue remarked, her mood uplifted by Chu Qing’s appearance and undeniable good looks. She spoke with a cheerful tone, expressing her satisfaction.
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she couldn’t remain silent anymore. She explained to Chu Qing, “The signature on the marriage contract is your grandmother’s name.”
Chu Qing’s maternal grandmother was also the head of the Chu family. No matter what status she had, she could suppress his parents. However, Chu Qing was different. He was not interested in this.
The problem he was facing now was Gong Yue. He realized that as long as Gong Yue stayed in his house, his parents would feel extremely uncomfortable, and he would be restrained everywhere.
In contrast to her chubby appearance, it was evident that the woman possessed a sharp intellect. While her round face and plump features resembled those of a pig, her eyes, narrowed by the excess flesh, emitted a cunning and astute gleam.
Chu Qing put down his bag and gave his parents a look. “I’m hungry. Is there any food at home?”
Usually, his father would say, “Do your homework. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”
But today, his father understood what Chu Qing meant. He shook his head and said, “No, why don’t I give you money and you go out to eat?”
“Alright, I’ll be leaving then. Goodbye, Mom and Dad,” Chu Qing said as he ran out of the room.
He counted silently in his heart.
One, two, three…
He did not believe that Gong Yue would watch him run away. He had come up with such a clumsy plan to let Gong Yue see through it and resolve the matter between the two of them outside.
When Chu Qing counted to eight, indeed, the sound of a door closing came from upstairs. Chu Qing stood on the stairs and waited for Gong Yue.
“Hey, why are you seeking me out? It’s quite low of you to resort to such a petty tactic. If I were to rate it on a scale of 10, I’d give you a mere two points,” Gong Yue replied in a seemingly amiable tone, but her words dripped with disdain.
“Who cares if it’s low? Since you’re out, haven’t I achieved my goal?” Chu Qing didn’t have a good temper toward Gong Yue.
“Yes, that’s true. So what do you want from me?”
“I want to beat you up. I’ve tolerated you for a long time.” As Chu Qing spoke, he kicked Gong Yue’s butt.
Despite her plump figure, Gong Yue displayed impressive agility as she effortlessly evaded Chu Qing’s kick. She exclaimed, “Hey, can’t you speak more politely? Why did you attack? Moreover, we have just met. How can you claim to have tolerated me for a long time?”
As expected, Chu Qing’s kick didn’t connect, which was in line with his expectations. He couldn’t help but suspect that Gong Yue was not an ordinary person from a prominent family. Nevertheless, it didn’t bother him. He still had a second kick ready. With his growing understanding of this world, the notion of being “tender for the fairer sex” had long lost its significance to him.
Hence, the second kick was executed with even greater stability, precision, and ruthlessness than the first. Simultaneously, Chu Qing responded to Gong Yue’s inquiry, “Your calculation is incorrect. I’ve been tolerating your presence ever since 1 became aware of your existence. Therefore, it is justified to claim that I’ve tolerated you for a considerable period of time.”
“Why? I’m the daughter of the Gong family. If you marry me, you’ll be punching above your weight, you know? What right do you have to be unhappy? You should be grateful,” Gong Yue argued, unable to evade Chu Qing’s kick. She had no choice but to raise her sturdy leg and meet the impact head-on..
