Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 731 A Master

Youyou's words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly stunning everyone present.

Xinling's breathing quickened slightly. For a girl like her who leans towards traditional values, the baby's gender was still too much of a challenge to her common sense.

She turned her head, looking at everyone in shock: "None of you knew either?"

Zhanbo nodded with a complicated expression: "Actually... we only just found out ourselves."

Xinling was completely bewildered: "What on earth is going on?"

"It's nothing."

Wan Yu explained with an embarrassed smile, "We're just Guan Gu and Youyou's neighbors, and we're not really that familiar with them."

"So it's normal that we don't know the baby's gender, right?"

"Is this normal?"

Xinling immediately felt dizzy and her vision went black.

This was the first time she felt perfectly fine, yet had an urge to inhale oxygen.

Xinling looked up at Guangu: "Guanu, you're the baby's father, and you didn't know?"

"I, I, I...of course I know."

Guan Gu's fingers clenched tightly, and he grinned, saying in a forced smile, "My surprise just now was mainly because I didn't expect Youyou to be so straightforward about the baby."

Seeing Xin Ling's confused and blank eyes, he took a deep breath, his gaze wandering, and began to make up stories.

My name is Guan Gu Shenqi, and for the sake of this girl in front of me, I'm going to start lying.

"Actually, we wanted too many people to know about this, because if too many people knew, it might affect the baby's mental health in the future."

Cyndi then asked, "Then why not have surgery?"

"Isn't it because the baby is too young and not suitable for surgery?"

Don't be fooled by the fact that Guan Gu doesn't lie normally; when he really starts to tell lies, he can tell a whole set of them.

"The doctor said we have to wait until the baby is a few years older and has a stronger body and immune system before we can have the surgery."

"The reason we put the baby on the coffee table and held him with his head down was to strengthen his immunity and physical fitness from a young age, in preparation for future surgeries."

"...Darling, what do you think?"

Guan Gu nudged Youyou from behind, indicating that he really couldn't make up any more stories.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Youyou quickly added, "And, we also want to wait until the baby is a little older and has developed his own gender awareness before having the surgery."

"That way he can choose whether he's a boy or a girl, isn't that cool?"

Xinling nearly lost her balance upon hearing this: "Cool?!"

Youyou argued confidently, "If we make a decision for the baby now, what if he feels he shouldn't be this gender when he grows up and decides to have a sex change? That would be such a hassle."

Guan Gu nodded in agreement: "Yeah, isn't that a waste of his naturally good looks?"

"Such good conditions?"

Xinling paused upon hearing this, then said with mixed feelings, "Guan Gu, Youyou... you two have such a good attitude."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."

Guan Gu and Youyou exchanged a glance and chuckled dryly, "It's good to be confused sometimes, it's good to be confused sometimes."

With a flustered look on her face, Ling turned to look at everyone present, and they all smiled warmly at her.

"It's rare to be confused, it's rare to be confused..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Nanfeng glared at Ziqiao, signaling him to quickly sort out the trouble he had caused.

"Ziqiao, I think the baby is sleepy too."

"It's so cold outside, why don't you take the baby back to the room to rest?"

"Need not!"

Having assumed the role of a married mother, Youyou decisively refused, saying, "I can take good care of the baby. I'll take the baby back to sleep."

"You should take care of Guangu first, Youyou."

As Ziqiao spoke, he stepped forward and half-forcibly snatched the baby from Youyou's arms.

He growled in a low voice, "Tang Youyou, are you out of your mind?"

"The purpose of this play we're putting on today is to show Xinling how much you and Guan Gu love each other. If you leave, how will Guan Gu continue this play!"

He reached out and smacked Youyou on the head: "Even if your current role is a married mother, please focus on being married, not being a mother!"

"oh."

When Ziqiao patted her like that, Youyou suddenly had a sudden realization.

After Ziqiao brought the toy doll into the bedroom, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and politely invited Xinling to sit down on the sofa.

Xinling looked at Wanyu, who was recording with a DV camera, with a puzzled expression: "What's she doing?"

"Don't worry about me."

Wan Yu smiled and said, "I am the baby's personal photographer, responsible for recording precious video footage as a memento."

"Then why don't you take pictures of the baby?"

Wanyu replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't the baby asleep right now?"

Xinling suddenly realized, "That's true."

Wan Yu smiled mischievously and winked smugly at Nan Feng.

See? I told you I had a brilliant plan.

Nanfeng nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Xinling, sit down quickly."

Youyou sat down next to Guan Gu, put her arm around his, and said intimately.

"It's all Guan Gu's fault. He didn't tell me until yesterday that you were coming to visit, which made us not have time to prepare properly."

Youyou said warmly, "If there was anything that didn't go well in our hospitality this time, please forgive us. We will definitely make it up to you next time."

Upon hearing Youyou's words, Nanfeng and the others almost rolled their eyes and fainted.

next time?

Youyou, do you really expect a next time?

If Cyndi Wang really came every few days, would everyone still play along with your act every few days?

Is this even possible?!

Cyndi simply smiled gently at Youyou's enthusiastic enthusiasm.

"It's alright. I came here specifically to see Guan Gu, after all, he saved my life."

She gazed tenderly at Guan Gu, her eyes filled with devotion and fervor.

Guan Gu instantly felt Youyou's hand tighten around his arm, and he quickly said, "That's all in the past, there's no need to bring it up again."

"How can we not mention it?"

Xinling finally looked away from Guan Gu and smiled sweetly at everyone.

"At first, I didn't know Guan Gu at all, but his concern for me made me clearly feel that I was loved and that there was still hope for me in this world."

"It's nothing, is it?"

Curry Sauce tried to smooth things over for Guan Gu: "Guan Gu is just a kind-hearted person, and he was only doing what a good person should do."

"yes."

While eating popcorn, Mika said, "Actually, it wasn't just Guan Gu. If it had been any other kind person that day, they would have saved you just like Guan Gu did."

Xinling smiled faintly upon hearing this: "You are not me, you can't understand this feeling."

She paused for a moment, then began to recount her life story.

"My parents divorced, and they each started their own families ten years ago. I was the one who was always left out."

Cyndi gently placed her hand on her chest; her weakly beating heart seemed to be the only proof that her parents had loved each other.

"They left me nothing but a hereditary heart condition."

"I don't have many friends in this city. Even if I have another attack and pass away one day, no one will care."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Although everyone in the apartment has their own flaws, everyone present is a very compassionate person.

After hearing about Xinling's experience, they all felt deep sympathy for the girl.

If she had grown up like an ordinary person, or hadn't suffered so much, she probably wouldn't have developed feelings for Guan Gu because of the life-saving grace, right?

...It's really hard to say.

After all, Guan Gu is indeed very handsome.

Xinling continued, "I didn't know what else in this world I could cherish, until I met him... my Guan Gu."

Xinling's tender and affectionate gaze met Guangu's desperately evasive eyes.

"It was his promise that gave me a reason to be strong."

Guan Gu was stunned upon hearing this.

Youyou tightened her grip on Guan Gu's arm, her fingers locking onto his forearm as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off him.

Xinling stared at Guan Gu, her eyes filled with an unexpected firmness: "Guan Gu, I know you already have a happy family, and I shouldn't be bothering you."

"But I want you to know that I will always wait for you."

My heart has already been given to you.

"Wow."

Nanfeng, Zhanbo, and Yumo let out a gasp filled with mixed emotions.

They initially thought that Xinling's visit was ill-intentioned and that she was eyeing them with hostility.

In hindsight, it seems Cyndi Wang's intentions were far from hostile.

She's clearly here to issue a challenge!

Mika and Curry Sauce ate popcorn with great excitement, whispering to each other.

Curry originally intended to share the popcorn with Youyou, who also loved gossip, as usual. However, when she handed the popcorn bucket to Youyou, she immediately realized that Youyou probably wasn't in the mood for popcorn.

So she had no choice but to turn a corner and forcefully stuff the popcorn bucket into Wanyu's arms, who was dutifully recording with a DV camera.

As for Youyou.

"Crunch, crunch..."

A long, sharp grinding sound echoed throughout the living room.

If it weren't for Guan Gu and Nan Feng's repeated warnings that Xin Ling had a heart condition and couldn't handle stress, she would have already launched a strong declaration of war.

[No, Guan Gu is mine to begin with, why should I declare war on her?!]

Xinling couldn't immediately discern the source of the teeth-grinding sound, and asked in surprise, "What's that sound?"

"fine."

Nanfeng waved his hand and said with good intentions, "Xinling, don't be fooled by Guan Gu's glamorous appearance. He's actually quite slovenly behind the scenes."

"It's because of Guan Gu that their suites are always infested with mice. You'll get used to it."

"Where am I...?"

Guan Gu subconsciously tried to protect his image, but was glared at fiercely by Nan Feng.

What, do you think you're not sophisticated enough in Cyndi's eyes?

Guan Gu immediately realized what he meant and nodded emphatically, saying, "Yes, that's right, I am usually quite sloppy."

Xinling just smiled gently when she heard this: "Boys are boys, it's understandable if they're a little sloppy."

"No, I'm not just sloppy, I'm incredibly sloppy."

"For example, for example..."

Guan Gu immediately looked at everyone with pleading eyes.

Nanfeng continued to slander, "For example, Guan Gu always litters and doesn't clean up. His bedside table is full of apple cores and spilled drinks."

"They never made their beds, and their clothes were piled up like a small mountain without being tidied up; they were just left scattered on the bed."

Yu Mo secretly pinched Nan Feng from behind, annoyed.

Are you talking about Guan Gu, or about me?

I've already changed a lot!

Xinling didn't even blink when she heard this: "It's okay, it's normal for boys not to like tidying up."

Meijia said, "But Guan Gu can be quite perverted sometimes. He likes to secretly knead instant noodles all the time."

"At its worst, not a single pack of instant noodles in our four suites was intact!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu awkwardly scratched his head and smiled.

Xinling's gaze towards Guangu remained gentle yet intense: "Everyone has a little bit of a weird side, and that's okay."

After much deliberation, Zhanbo unleashed his ultimate weapon: "But Guan Gu only changes his clothes once every ten days, his socks are so stiff they could stand up on their own, and his underwear smells so bad you could use it to pickle stinky tofu!"

"vomit……"

Because Zhanbo's slanderous remarks had exceeded the limits of human tolerance, everyone who heard Zhanbo's words couldn't help but gag.

Besides Cyndi Wang.

The crowd gathered around Guan Gu and smeared the darkness for a long time, but Xin Ling remained expressionless throughout.

She smiled gently, as if all of Guan Gu's problems were no problem in her eyes: "It's okay, dirty clothes can be washed properly."

"I have a secret laundry recipe that guarantees my clothes will smell nice for a full two weeks."

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this.

Xinling is indeed not someone to be trifled with; she can remain unfazed even in this situation.

That's amazing!
