BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1128 - Fifth Cousin Is Really Ruthless (4)
Gu Jinxuan raised his brows. That was acceptable!
He grinned. “Hehe, Younger Cousin, if you say so! All right then, I’ll treat it as a loan. When I’ve made some money, I’ll return it to you!”
“All right!”‘
Gu Qingyao was elated that Gu Jinxuan had finally decided to get down to work. At least this older cousin had not turned out to be worthless.
She stayed at the Gu house for a few days, had fun with everyone, then went back to the Mo house.
The laboratory had been completed long ago. Her Senior was just so useful. It was running smoothly now, and since she was pregnant, Gu Qingyao did not go there often.
As her pregnancy progressed, she felt lethargic all the time. Mo Beihan frowned to see her like that.
“Are you feeling very uncomfortable? Your energy levels have been very low lately.”
Gu Qingyao sighed. “I think I’m all right! I can eat and sleep, so there’s nothing really wrong with me. I just tire easily.”
“If you’re tired, you should rest. Don’t bother with anything else.”
Gu Qingyao looked at him glumly. “But it’s boring to just eat and sleep every day! No wonder Mingyue asks me to go over every few days. She can’t stand it either. It’s just too boring.”
Gu Qingyao looked around. There was no one in the living room. The sun was shining in the balcony, but she was the only one there.
“Where’s little Mu Mu? That brat doesn’t chat with me any longer. Now that he’s grown up, he’s always out.”
Mo Beihan smiled. In the past, Mu Mu treated Gu Qingyao as his mother. He was completely compliant and followed her everywhere.
But Gu Qingyao had not spent much time with him before she went overseas. She only came back many years later, when Mu Mu had already grown into a youth.
At first, Mu Mu would still keep her company and play or chat with her. But now he often went out, and they seldom saw him.
“Oh, him! He’s gone to help Yuan Yuan revise!”
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. “Brat. Now that he has a wife, he has forgotten his mother!”
“He isn’t married yet!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
When she thought of Mu Mu and Zhong Bingyuan, Gu Qingyao leaned against Mo Beihan. “Do you think Mu Mu really has fallen for Yuan Yuan? The child is so young, surely he hasn’t matured so early?”
She could see that Mu Mu had been acting oddly. That brat did not treat Zhong Bingyuan like an ordinary friend at all.
Mo Beihan smiled but was not too concerned.
“Who cares! He’s at the age when he’s first beginning to take interest in girls. Who knows if he has matured? Besides, the two children have good characters. In this era, they probably won’t go overboard. Just let them spend time with each other. What’s wrong with being childhood sweethearts?
“If they still like each other when they grow up, they can marry and have children. It’s a good thing!”
Gu Qingyao suddenly looked at him. “In the past… did you also think of me like that?”
Mo Beihan paused and looked at the girl in his arms. “No!”
“What was it then?”
“In the past, I clearly pampered you as my little wife.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
***
After being inspired at the Gu house, Gu Jinxuan had been thinking about how to earn money.
He had been used to doing whatever he liked since he was young. He had so many older cousins to bear any responsibilities that he did not have to care about anything.
He was used to living by himself. In the past, he had really been very carefree. After all, everyone’s living conditions were poor at that time. Very few people had no burdens like him.
But not long after that…
The people around him suddenly made their fortunes, and they were all doing better than him.. He could not accept the disparity between them.
