Chapter 239: Chapter 236: Sneaking a Bite? The Two Are Caught Red-Handed by Mom

「At 4:30 in the afternoon.」

Gu Yifan drove his mom’s Volkswagen CC with Su Qinghe in tow, and the three of them went out for a massive supermarket shopping spree!

First, he was the driver, and then he was the pack mule!

Sigh~

This left Gu Yifan at a loss for words.

Once they got to the supermarket, his mom went on a wild shopping spree as if everything was free. She not only bought tons of groceries but also a huge pile of snacks, which she said were for Su Qinghe to enjoy over the holiday!

Then, she also bought some health supplements and other things they’d need for the family’s trip to Grandma’s house the day after tomorrow!

The reason Chen Dongmei had scheduled the trip to Grandma’s house in the countryside for the day after tomorrow was to give Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe a day to rest, since they had just gotten back from Jinling today.

Besides, the National Day holiday was quite long, so there was no need to rush.

...

After getting home, they started making dinner.

Su Qinghe helped out while Chen Dongmei personally took charge in the kitchen, preparing a huge, delicious feast.

And Gu Yifan’s dad, Gu Jiaguo, having learned that the two were back, canceled his business dinner for the night and came home early.

「At 7:30 in the evening.」

The family gathered around the dining table, eating and chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Gu Jiaguo got into a festive mood and had a few drinks with Gu Yifan.

Of course, there was no way he was going to drink too much!

Ever since the last time he got drunk while his son was completely unaffected, Gu Jiaguo had been psychologically scarred!

’Damn it!’

’This damn kid can hold his liquor so well. Trying to outdrink him is just asking for humiliation!’

After dinner, the family sat on the sofa, eating fruit and chatting leisurely.

Of course, it was mainly Chen Dongmei and her husband asking Su Qinghe about what she and Gu Yifan were up to at university.

Gu Yifan, meanwhile, was like an invisible person, sitting to one side and quietly eating his fruit.

It couldn’t be helped!

That was just his status in the family. What else could he do!

The family chatted until around 11:30 PM, after which they took turns showering and getting ready for bed.

Since Chen Dongmei and her husband had no idea that Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe were already sleeping in the same room, they still had Su Qinghe stay in Gu Yifan’s room, while Gu Yifan was to sleep in the study.

But there was no way Gu Yifan was going to be that well-behaved!

In the middle of the night, once his mom and dad were asleep, he secretly snuck back into his room and slipped under the covers with Su Qinghe.

However, since they were at his parents’ house, with his mom and dad right in the next room, Gu Yifan naturally couldn’t try anything!

He just quietly held Su Qinghe, and the two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, Su Qinghe woke up bright and early, curled up in Gu Yifan’s embrace.

She tilted her little head up to look at Gu Yifan’s handsome profile as he slept. A sudden playful urge came over her, and she took the ends of her hair and gently tickled his nose!

"ACHOO..."

The sleeping Gu Yifan couldn’t help but let out a sneeze, and just like that, Su Qinghe’s prank woke him up.

Seeing that Gu Yifan was awake, Su Qinghe’s face flushed slightly. Like a startled bunny, she quickly pulled her hand back and pretended to be asleep.

"Mmm..."

Gu Yifan groggily opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Su Qinghe’s exquisite, beautiful face.

Seeing that Su Qinghe was still asleep, he couldn’t help but frown.

’I could have sworn someone was just tickling my nose. Was I just dreaming?’

Gu Yifan rubbed his nose.

"Mmm-hmm~"

At this, Su Qinghe, who was still curled up in Gu Yifan’s arms, could no longer feign sleep. She pretended to have just woken up.

"Su Hanhan, you’re awake?"

Seeing this, Gu Yifan leaned down and pecked Su Qinghe’s cheek, then smiled and spoke softly.

"Mhm~"

Caught off guard by his kiss, Su Qinghe’s face turned a little red as she nodded shyly.

...

After cuddling for a little while longer, Gu Yifan glanced at the time.

It was almost six in the morning. Time to sneak back to the study before his mom got up.

If he waited too long and his mom got up and caught them, it would be incredibly awkward.

"Um... Hanhan, it’s almost six. I should get up and head back to the study. If you’re still tired, just go back to sleep."

Gu Yifan said, looking down at Su Qinghe, who was nestled against his chest.

"Should we get up and make breakfast?"

"Your mom worked so hard yesterday. Let’s make breakfast today!"

"Uh...!"

Gu Yifan was stunned for a moment; he hadn’t expected Su Qinghe to suggest that.

"Can we?"

Su Qinghe tilted her little head up to look at him and asked in a small voice.

"Okay!"

Gu Yifan stroked Su Qinghe’s cheek, his expression full of adoration. "Then let’s get up!" he said.

"Mhm~"

Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile.

And so, they got right to it!

The two of them climbed out of bed, washed up together, and then headed to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

Su Qinghe helped out as his sous chef, while Gu Yifan took the lead with the cooking!

With a master chef like Gu Yifan on the job, breakfast was a piece of cake.

Before long,

The kitchen was soon filled with the rich aroma of congee.

"I... Can I have a taste?"

Su Qinghe couldn’t help but gulp, her mouth watering.

She couldn’t help it!

The food Gu Yifan made was just too fragrant; even someone as reserved as her couldn’t resist.

"Uh..."

Gu Yifan turned to look at her, and seeing her little "hungry kitten" expression, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, alright!"

"Go on, have a taste!"

Gu Yifan said teasingly, "But, Su Hanhan, you’ve had such a big appetite lately. You’re not pregnant, are you?"

"Huh??"

Su Qinghe’s face instantly tensed up. "No way, right?" she asked, a look of panic on her face.

"Relax, don’t be so nervous. I’m just teasing you."

"Hahaha..."

Seeing how nervous Su Qinghe looked, Gu Yifan quickly tried to console her.

Su Qinghe: "..."

"I..."

Su Qinghe couldn’t help but glare at Gu Yifan. She pouted, looking wronged. "You’re bullying me again..."

"Alright, be good, I’ll stop teasing you. Really, don’t worry!"

Gu Yifan pulled Su Qinghe into an embrace as he quickly spoke.

After they cuddled for another moment...

Breakfast was almost ready!

But Su Qinghe was still sulking a little!

"Alright, be good. I won’t bully you anymore. Is that better?"

Gu Yifan coaxed.

"Oh."

Su Qinghe said, pursing her lips.

Uh...

’This silly goose, acting all spoiled like a child.’

Gu Yifan shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, come here, let me give you a hug~"

"Don’t be angry anymore, be good~!"

With an adoring smile, Gu Yifan pulled her gently into his arms and planted a loud MWAH on her cheek.

Su Qinghe’s face flushed a faint red, and only then did she decide to forgive him.

Just then, a voice drifted over from behind them.

"What are you two doing...?"
