Chapter 1016: Little Aunt?

Getting straight to the point, this straightforward style is truly unexpected.

Yin Geping’s eyes widened slightly, and his face looked a bit unpleasant.

He silently cursed Qiu Qianghai for not understanding subtlety, but he wore a gentle smile on his face: "Not at all, it’s just that this girl seems interesting, quirky and cute, and I’d like to get to know her."

Qiu Qianghai’s eyes flashed with a mysterious light, seeming not to catch the other’s teasing, he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Minmin is clever and intelligent, but Young Master Yin, do you know, she’s one of mine?"

Yin Geping pretended not to understand, looking surprised: "Oh? Mr. Qiu has a sister? I haven’t heard that Madame Yu has any sister, only that she has a brother, which is you."

Qiu Qianghai met his gaze in the void.

Both of them understood the implied meaning of their conversation.

One was playing dumb, dodging and weaving.

The other expressionless, seemingly gentle, yet his deep, brooding eyes seemed to want to devour the person before him.

Qiu Qianghai lowered his eyes, tenderly looking at Gu Minmin in his arms, and spoke softly, gently: "She’s not some sister, in terms of hierarchy, you’d have to call her little aunt."

"..." Yin Geping.

"..." Gu Minmin raised her head, staring wide-eyed at Qiu Qianghai.

Their expressions were almost identical, both were taken aback.

Qiu Qianghai dared not look at the person in his arms again, he said to Yin Geping with a faint smile: "Next time you see her, Young Master Yin, make sure you don’t mix up the hierarchy, although I’m not in great health and don’t like to travel, I still know where the Yin family gate opens. If this girl is wronged, I might have to rush about."

Yin Geping now felt as if he had eaten bitter medicine.

Though he liked beauties, he wasn’t fond of just anyone.

Gu Minmin indeed caught his eye, making him unable to have her felt like being scratched by a cat, itching unbearably.

If the status of the other party changed, becoming the woman of the Yu family’s eldest brother-in-law, he truly couldn’t touch her.

Even if he’s known to be reckless, he wouldn’t joke with his own reputation.

Few men aren’t indulgent, but there’s a limit, as long as they don’t cross it, they can fool around without affecting their affairs.

Yin Geping was also a character, quickly resuming his smile, and said mildly: "It was my oversight, Mr. Qiu, please don’t get mad. I’ll visit another day and personally apologize to little aunt."

"There’s no need, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Indeed..."

They exchanged a few polite remarks, and Qiu Qianghai, holding the dazed Gu Minmin, left the place.

It wasn’t until she got in the car that Gu Minmin felt like she was waking from a dream.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about, calling you for so long and no response."

A low chuckle echoed in her ear.

The voice was sensual and low, drawing Gu Minmin’s wandering mind back.

Her pair of beautiful eyes, opened wide and round.

Swallowing hard, steadying herself, she stammered: "Brother Hai, what, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Minmin knew there was something between her and Brother Hai, something that kept them from truly connecting.

But over these days, there was a growing closeness between them.

She was unsure if Brother Hai had the same feelings for her as she did for him.

Every time the ambiguity between them rose, she would wonder if Brother Hai saw her as a child or pitied and felt guilty towards her.

Never did she think he would truly like her.

Even when she slightly considered it, reason quickly stopped her.
