Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 736 The Reason for Separation

"Oh my god..."

Before long, Meijia and Yumo stared in astonishment.

They stared blankly at Guan Gu, who was dressed in all black—black clothes, black pants, black leather shoes, sunglasses, a black hat, a black scarf, and a black trench coat—his entire body was as black as could be. They were completely dumbfounded.

Yu Mo and Mei Jia stood frozen in shock, their mouths agape.

That's Guan Gu for you. If Zhang Wei wore this outfit, he would be invisible in the dark.

Not to mention the two of them, even Xinling was startled when she saw Guan Gu's strange attire.

"Guan Gu, what's wrong with you...?"

She looked at Guan Gu in surprise, realizing for the first time that her own sense of style wasn't too bad.

And now, there are two people in the apartment who are on par with me.

Guan Gu grinned slightly, revealing his two rows of white teeth: "Don't be nervous, I just suddenly wanted to change my outfit."

"But this isn't just a change of clothes, it's a complete change of persona!"

Meijia exclaimed, "Guan Gu, are you cosplaying the God of Gamblers or a gangster?"

"I don't think it looks like it at all."

Yu Mo sized up Guan Gu: "I think Guan Gu looks more like those two disabled old men playing the piano in 'Kung Fu Hustle' now. What were their names again?"

She pondered for a moment, then said confidently, "I know, it's the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends!"

Nanfeng said speechlessly, "It's a flawed and incomplete world. Yu Mo, have you even watched 'Kung Fu Hustle'?"

Yu Mo smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"that……"

Zhanbo raised his hand and weakly corrected in a low voice: "The two assassins you mentioned are actually named Tiancan and Dican, not Tiancan and Dique."

"And they are not old men; only one of them is disabled."

"what?"

Now it's Nanfeng's turn to be embarrassed.

The one who felt equally awkward was Guan Gu, who was dressed in all black and looked exactly like a blind old man playing the erhu on the streets of the Republic of China era.

[In his inner world, Guan Gu looked down at his own attire and fell silent for a long time.]

He raised his head expressionlessly and said with a forced smile: Actually... it's not that I wanted to dress like this.

[Ke Wanyu said that she has been studying fashion design diligently during this period, and she now has a completely new understanding of clothing and styling.]

As Guan Gu spoke, he pointed to Wan Yu, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Without a word, Wanyu explained with a bright smile: "Through my diligent research over this period, I've discovered that clothing and makeup are a third language, besides spoken language and gestures."

Moreover, this language is more subtle and insidious than the previous two, making it difficult to guard against.

For example, if your wife wants to help you with your homework tonight, but she's too shy to ask directly or flirt with you, she might quietly change into a sexy nightgown.

【Then……】

[Feed.]

Guan Gu patted Wan Yu expressionlessly: You've gone astray.

【Oh. 】

Wan Yu quickly changed the subject: In short, Guan Gu's outfit, which is so dark and tacky it's almost awful, will definitely give Xin Ling enough psychological cues to make her avoid him!

【Very good, thank you very much for your explanation.】

[Guan Gu grabbed Wan Yu's head and pushed her out of his inner world.]

【ah!!!】

[Wanyu's mournful cry echoed throughout my inner world: I will definitely come back!]

Once the wailing subsided, Guan Gu sighed and lowered his head: "To be honest, I don't think Wan Yu's idea was useful."

However, compared to the various and often chaotic ideas that everyone else came up with, Wanyu's method is one of the few that are actually usable.

Although this idea is almost absurd and the probability of success is extremely low, the good thing is that failure won't cause any side effects, so there's no need to worry about upsetting Cindy.

[Guan Gu helplessly shrugs: In this situation, of course we've used every method that's available.]

……

In reality, seeing that he had made a fool of himself, Nanfeng coughed lightly and said, "Let's eat first, otherwise the food that Xinling worked so hard to make will get cold."

"Yes, yes, let's eat quickly."

The group exchanged glances, then rubbed their bellies and headed towards the dining table.

They started preparing early this morning for Cyndi's visit without even having breakfast, and now they're all starving.

Now, they can taste even a few bites of dishes made by Yifei, let alone dishes made by Xinling.

Everyone sat down and sampled the dishes Cyndi had prepared, and immediately everyone praised her culinary skills.

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

Meijia gave a thumbs up and praised, "Xinling, I'm already the best cook in the apartment besides Guangu, but compared to you, the gap between us is like I'm a full ten thousand times ahead of Yifei."

What?

Xinling heard Meijia's words clearly, but didn't understand their meaning.

Is Mika praising her own cooking skills, or is she implying that her cooking skills are poor?

Yu Mo, who was next to Xin Ling, helped explain: "Yi Fei is also our neighbor and my old classmate. Her cooking skills are basically negative."

"oh."

Xinling understood now.

……

While everyone was having lunch, the conversation drifted to the love story of Guan Gu and Youyou.

"...I never dreamed that on the day I confessed to Youyou, Youyou was also preparing to confess to me."

Even though he was a grown man, Guan Gu's eyes sparkled with joy when he talked about his mutual confession with Youyou. The joy and excitement he exuded from the bottom of his heart moved Xinling deeply.

He looked at Youyou, his gaze intense and expectant, and asked, "Youyou, do you remember what you said to me that day?"

"Of course I remember."

Youyou glanced at Xinling without making it obvious, and said the words she had used to confess: "I told you back then: Guan Gu, I like you."

Although my feelings for you didn't start as early as yours, they are no less intense than yours.

"If everyone's life is a different type of TV series, then I only hope that you can be the only male lead in my TV series and accompany me until the finale."

"So, Guan Gu, will you be my boyfriend?"

"good!!!"

Ziqiao, Wanyu, Zhanbo, and Curry Sauce cheered enthusiastically, glancing at Xinling out of the corner of their eyes as her smile became somewhat stiff, and winking at Guangu and Youyou without making a sound.

Great, Guan Gu and Youyou's plan to show off their affection was very effective this time!

Even if Xinling is willing to be Guan Gu's second wife, as long as she truly loves Guan Gu, she cannot possibly be indifferent to the love between Guan Gu and Youyou.

【Great, that's it!】

【Guan Gu, Youyou, use your unwavering love to make Xinling hesitate and let her willingly accept your lifelong, monogamous love!】

"How romantic!"

Although Ziqiao and the others had good intentions, and Guangu and Youyou's public display of affection did indeed have an effect on Xinling, Xinling, true to her nature, quickly adjusted her mindset while everyone was still gloating over the success of their first offensive.

Xinling smiled enviously, then looked at Guangu, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Guangu, so after you confessed to each other, you and Youyou got together?"

He nodded: "Yes, we spent a romantic Qixi Festival together the next day."

Seeing that his public display of affection had indeed worked, Guan Gu decided to press his advantage and talk about his and Youyou's Qixi Festival date the next day.

He couldn't say anything else, but he had a deep impression of every minute he spent with Youyou.

As long as Xinling doesn't choose to give up, he and Youyou will let Xinling witness what true love is all about!

"Qixi Festival was over the next day?"

Xinling immediately sensed something was wrong: "You two have only been together for a little over six months?"

"Yes……"

Guan Gu suddenly woke up halfway through his sentence.

According to their original plan last night, the two of them could use their personal experiences to express their feelings, and then use Zhanbo and Wanyu's Valentine's Day confession as their marriage proposal story.

But this morning, Ziqiao suddenly attacked and forced a "baby" into their hands.

This is a big problem.

Even if he confessed his feelings to Youyou on the first night and registered for marriage the next day, and they got pregnant on the first try, the baby should still be in his belly now.

【asshole!】

[I knew it! Lu Ziqiao was just here to cause trouble!]

Guan Gu gritted his teeth and thought to himself, but when he looked up, he met Xin Ling's gaze, which was full of sympathy and heartache.

Wait, what is Cyndi Wang sympathizing with me about?

What is she feeling sorry for me about now?

She wouldn't assume, wouldn't assume...

Guan Gu was immediately startled.

[She wouldn't think this "baby" is Youyou's, but not mine, would she?!]

His face turned pale instantly, and he waved his hands repeatedly, explaining, "No, Xinling, you've misunderstood."

"We...we confessed our feelings and got together the night before Qixi Festival two years ago."

"what?"

Youyou turned to look at Guangu with a blank expression, wondering how he could have forgotten the time they spent together.

While maintaining a bright smile towards Xinling across from him, Guan Gu forced out two words through gritted teeth and whispered to Youyou beside him, "Child."

"child?"

Youyou repeated Guan Gu's words in her mind, and suddenly she was struck by a realization, as if she had been enlightened.

Yes, that's right.

Youyou, linking arms with Guangu, smiled at Xinling and said, "We were indeed together the night before Qixi Festival the year before last."

"oh."

Xinling's voice instantly lowered, and her tone was tinged with unspeakable sorrow.

"So, Guan Gu, you already had a girlfriend when you made that promise to me?"

"hiss……"

Guan Gu gasped upon hearing this.

He felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that he was in a predicament, unable to move forward or backward.

In this situation, it wouldn't be right for me to make up a story about being with Youyou for a year and a half, and it would be even more wrong to say that we've only been together for half a year.

In the former case, Cyndi might feel that her initial promise was just a lie to keep her alive, and she might not be able to handle the shock, causing her to have a heart attack and faint.

In the latter case, Cyndi will realize that she and everyone else are deceiving her. In order to get her to leave, she might not be able to handle the shock and faint from a heart attack.

Oh no, oh no, this is really the end!

She gets sick from lying, and she gets sick from telling the truth.

If she doesn't speak... not speaking means she agrees, then she'll have a seizure too!

【Aaaaaah!!!】

Not knowing how to answer, Guan Gu could only glare fiercely at Zi Qiao, wishing he could tear this meddlesome guy to pieces.

【It's all your fault, Lu Ziqiao!】

[It's all your baby's fault!]

Seeing this, Ziqiao pouted in grievance, thinking that he really couldn't blame himself for this.

Normally, having a baby between a couple would be an excellent idea to eliminate any third party, but who would have thought that Cyndi Wang would be so unconventional as to be willing to be Guan Gu's second wife?

It's not my fault for giving such a bad idea; it's just that the enemy is too overpowered.

However, even though Ziqiao was trying to shift the blame, he couldn't just stand by and watch his good brother suffer.

He said "Oh," and quickly explained for Guan Gu, "It's like this, Guan Gu and Youyou... they had a fight and separated for a while."

"It was such a coincidence that Guan Gu, who was single at the time, met you."

Ziqiao shook his head and sighed, "In the end, my little... my niece found out she was pregnant. Since they hadn't completely let go of each other, they got back together, registered their marriage, and welcomed the birth of their new life."

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Guan Gu with a hint of smugness.

[Guan Gu, look at you! You can't even make up a lie. You have to watch me.]

Guan Gu pursed his lips speechlessly, but could only praise Zi Qiao for doing a good job with his eyes.

After all, if it were him, he would never have imagined that he could fabricate such a lie as separating from Youyou.

In Guan Gu's mind, he was meant to be with Youyou forever.

"Oh, I see."

Xinling nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly turned to Guan Gu and Youyou and asked, "Guan Gu, Youyou, may I ask you two why you broke up back then?"

"Well..."

Guan Gu and Youyou exchanged a glance and nodded in perfect unison.

They looked at Xinling and began to explain.

"Because we had a little argument!"

"Because he cheated on me!"
