Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 738 The Missing Diamond Ring

Youyou was startled to find that the Ocean Star, which was supposed to be on her wrist, had suddenly disappeared.

"what!"

Youyou's sudden exclamation startled everyone present, who looked up in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I……"

Youyou paused, hesitated for a while before saying, "I just remembered that the baby hasn't had milk yet. I need to go back to the bedroom to take care of the baby."

"Don't worry about me, you eat first, you eat first."

Before she could finish speaking, she rushed off to the bedroom.

Everyone in the apartment was puzzled, wondering what Youyou was up to now.

She wouldn't get so caught up in acting that she actually went to breastfeed her baby, would she?

Wanyu thought for a moment, then smiled and said to everyone, "I'll go check on the baby too, everyone please continue eating."

As Wanyu got up and left, Xinling clutched her chest and said she needed to go to the restroom.

Both Guan Gu's infidelity and what Youyou just said were significant shocks to Xinling, and she needs to adjust.

After watching Xinling enter the restroom, everyone lowered their voices and began to whisper among themselves.

"Guan Gu, what do you think of the current situation?"

"What else can I say?"

With a sullen face, Guan Gu lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I'm now a scumbag who gets drunk, has sex with women, and cheats on them. My image in Xinling's heart is probably completely ruined."

"I think things are fine as they are now."

Ziqiao tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and analyzed seriously, "Let's clarify our thinking. Your ultimate goal is to keep Xinling safe and sound, to prevent her from having a heart attack due to stress, and to ensure she doesn't interfere in your relationship with Youyou, right?"

Guan Gu nodded: "Mm."

"So everything is going very smoothly for you right now."

Ziqiao chuckled and said, "Although your reputation has been slightly tarnished, and Xinling seems to have been quite upset by your aunt's words, everything is progressing steadily so far."

"We didn't dare to smear you too much before because we were afraid that Cyndi would have a heart attack, but now it seems that her mental strength is quite strong. Even if she can't accept it, she won't have a heart attack so easily."

"Anyway, it's impossible for you and your aunt to go down the public display of affection route anymore, so why not just go all out with the dark side, and then..."

Guan Gu replied expressionlessly, "And then my reputation was completely ruined!"

Guan Gu didn't have any romantic feelings for Xin Ling; it's just that as a rather old-fashioned and upright man, his reputation was quite important to him, and he obviously couldn't accept this kind of behavior of smearing himself and spreading rumors.

Ziqiao said dismissively, "So what if it's ruined? At least I'll share your infamy."

"you?"

Guan Gu looked up at Zi Qiao, a look of despair on his face: "The thought of my reputation being on the same level as yours, Lu Zi Qiao, makes me want to die."

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao's eyes widened in astonishment. He retorted angrily, "What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? Guangu, you need to get this straight! I'm also a victim dragged down by you!"

Guan Gu sighed, "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't suddenly forced a baby on us, would all this trouble have happened?"

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao immediately became indignant: "What does this have to do with me? If you had honestly told Xinling from the beginning that you had a girlfriend and didn't like her at all, and that the promise was a lie from the start, then none of this would have happened today."

Guan Gu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then retorted, "What if she had had a heart attack if I had said that back then?"

Nanfeng interjected, "But as it turns out, Xinling isn't as fragile as you think. She didn't have a breakdown in that situation just now, did she?"

He advised Guan Gu, "In my opinion, if we keep lying like this, one lie after another, sooner or later all the lies will be exposed."

"Not to mention you have two troublemakers by your side, Ziqiao and Youyou. One likes to help others and have fun, and the other always adds drama regardless of the situation."

"Guan Gu, you can't hide it from today, you can't hide it from tomorrow, you can fool this time, but you can't fool next time. You might as well find a suitable opportunity to be honest with Xin Ling."

"No, that won't work."

Guan Gu pouted, his eyes filled with deep sorrow: "No, if Xinling knew that everything was a lie, her heart would..."

"Boom!"

He made a gesture as if setting off fireworks.

Nanfeng curled her lip upon hearing this.

While eating, Curry Sauce mumbled, "Actually, I don't think it's that bad. Even if Guan Gu and the others lied a lot, as long as we get through today, everything will be fine."

"Forehead……"

Yu Mo and Mei Jia both wore embarrassed expressions.

Meijia lowered her head guiltily and poked at the food in her bowl with her chopsticks: "Um... we think we made a tiny mistake when we were chatting with Xinling just now."

Zhanbo asked curiously, "What mistake?"

"It wasn't a big mistake."

Yu Mo said in a barely audible voice, "We just knew that Xin Ling hadn't found a place to live yet, so we casually asked her if she would be willing to... rent a place downstairs from us and be Zhen Zi's roommate."

"What?!?!"

Guan Gu and the others exclaimed in unison.

Meijia and Yumo immediately buried their heads under the table.

"It's all over, it's all over now."

Guan Gu looked up at the sky and let out a series of wails: "Yu Mo, Mei Jia, you...you've really gotten me into big trouble."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Meijia chuckled and said, "After all, the rent for our apartment is quite expensive, and whether Xinling will move in is another matter."

"Yes, yes, yes," Yu Mo added. "Besides, our apartment is a shared apartment. If Xinling really has any ideas, she'll find a way to move in herself, right?"

"Just like you were back then?"

Nanfeng asked with a wicked grin.

Yu Mo gave him a playful glare.

Nanfeng chuckled, then looked at Guangu: "Guangu, I think you still need to find a chance to talk things out with Xinling, otherwise you and Youyou will be exposed sooner or later."

"yes."

Meijia also advised, "Actually, I think Xinling is quite nice. If you make things clear with her, Guangu, she probably won't try to interfere in your relationship with Youyou anymore."

"I……"

Guan Gu sighed, looking quite troubled, and said, "Let me think about it some more."

The group exchanged glances and then let out a long sigh, just like Guan Gu.

……

In Guan Gu's bedroom, Youyou was hunched over, frantically searching through every piece of clothing on the bed.

Wanyu sneaked in and cautiously patted Youyou's shoulder.

"what!"

Youyou was startled by the sudden attack. She fell onto the bed and rolled forward. She only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Wanyu.

"Wanyu, you really scared me to death! How come you walk without making a sound?"

Youyou patted her chest, still shaken. "Didn't I tell you all to eat properly and not worry about me? What were you doing sneaking in here?"

Wanyu said with a grin, "I just saw you rushing into the bedroom in such a hurry, so I knew something was wrong and came to check on you."

She asked curiously, "Youyou, you look so anxious searching for something, what did you lose?"

Youyou didn't answer; she just sighed and silently stretched out her empty right hand.

"Oh……"

Wanyu suddenly realized: "You lost your fake nails?"

"no."

Youyou flopped onto the bed with a thud, banging her head against the pillow repeatedly: "It's a diamond ring! It's a diamond ring!"

Wan Yu didn't react for a moment: "A diamond ring? Where did you get the diamond from...?"

She suddenly paused, covered her mouth in alarm, and asked, "You lost Yu Mo's Ocean Star?"

"It's not exactly lost... if I can find the diamond ring before Yu Mo finds out about it."

Youyou rummaged through the clothes on the bed in annoyance, muttering, "I remember the diamond ring was still there before I changed into this loungewear, but when I looked up just now, the Ocean Star was suddenly gone."

"It didn't just disappear suddenly; several hours have passed!"

Seeing this, Wan Yu quickly helped search the bed. The two of them searched Guan Gu's bed thoroughly, but they couldn't find the diamond ring anywhere.

So they took out their small flashlights and searched carefully on the ground, especially in places that are easily overlooked, such as under the bed, under the cabinet, and in the corner of the doorway. They shone the flashlights back and forth over and over again.

"That shouldn't be the case."

After searching for a long time to no avail, Wan Yu plopped down on the edge of the bed. She frowned and said, "The Ocean Star is so big and so shiny. If it really fell into Guan Gu's bedroom, there's no way we wouldn't be able to find it with our search capabilities."

She turned to Youyou: "Youyou, are you sure the diamond ring fell into Guangu's bedroom?"

"I'm completely unsure. If I knew exactly where the diamond ring fell, I wouldn't have lost it in the first place."

"Why...why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wan Yu's eyes widened immediately: "You have no idea where the diamond ring is? How are we supposed to find it?!"

Youyou thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I have no direction at all. Although I don't remember when I lost the diamond ring, I haven't left 3602 since I put on the Ocean Star today."

"A diamond ring won't be blown away by the wind, so it should be in Guan Gu's bedroom... or in the bathroom or living room."

"All right."

Wanyu stood up and said, "Then let's quickly tell everyone that the diamond ring is lost and ask them to help us find it."

"etc!"

Youyou quickly stopped Wanyu: "We really can't tell everyone directly that the diamond ring is lost."

Why?

Before Youyou could answer, Wanyu had already realized what was going on: "Oh... because of Xinling."

"yes."

Youyou pouted and sighed helplessly, "No matter what Xinling's purpose was in coming here this time, it's her first time as a guest, and we're already making a scene about how a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg is missing. What are we supposed to think?"
