Just as she was planning to refuse, Chen Bajin promptly agreed, adding, "Ah Jiao isn’t really surnad..."
Gu Fuqiao saw that Chen Bajin was about to reveal her na, so she quickly stood up and said, "In that case, I’m counting on you, Comrade Wang Yunqing."
"It’s no trouble at all." Wang Yunqing smiled and neatly rolled up his white shirt sleeves to his elbows, then began to repair the bicycle chain for Gu Fuqiao.
Gu Fuqiao gave Chen Bajin a look, hoping he would understand her intention not to discuss her matters with Wang Yunqing. But who knew Chen Bajin had gone into full fangirl mode upon seeing his favorite author.
Gu Fuqiao couldn’t say much, but fortunately, once Wang Yunqing got started, the bicycle was soon ready to ride.
"Alright, the bicycle is ready." Wang Yunqing handed the bicycle handlebar back to Gu Fuqiao.
Gu Fuqiao nodded in thanks and said to Wang Yunqing, "Thank you very much for today."
As she finished speaking and was ready to leave, Wang Yunqing said, "It’s so hot now, if you walk outside, you’ll easily get heatstroke. Why not rest a bit before leaving? I can take you for a drink or sothing."
In this era, cafes were almost non-existent, only found in Beijing.
But teahouses were everywhere.
Though Chen Bajin was quite eager to accept, Gu Fuqiao refused and said, "Thank you for the invitation, but it’s getting late. Bajin, we need to go ho and cook."
After speaking, Gu Fuqiao presented her wrist to Chen Bajin.
Seeing the watch on Gu Fuqiao’s wrist, Chen Bajin sighed and said, "It’s already past six, we really need to head back or my Jian Country won’t have dinner."
"You still have to go ho and cook for your parents?" Wang Yunqing asked, hearing what Chen Bajin said.
Chen Bajin shook his head and said, "No, I’m going ho to cook for my spouse, and Ah Jiao too."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunqing widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Gu Fuqiao, saying, "Ah Jiao married so early?"
The look Wang Yunqing gave to Gu Fuqiao made her sowhat uncomfortable.
It was as if he thought Gu Fuqiao shouldn’t be married.
Gu Fuqiao directly said, "Yes, Mr. Wang, it’s getting late. If we have a chance to et again, let’s have tea together."
After speaking, Gu Fuqiao imdiately got on the bike, prompting Chen Bajin to get on as well.
Though reluctant, wanting to chat more with Wang Yunqing, Chen Bajin knew it was late and ti to go back ho to cook, so he bid farewell to Wang Yunqing and got on Gu Fuqiao’s bike.
Actually, Chen Bajin wasn’t foolish. After getting on the bike, he asked Gu Fuqiao, "Ah Jiao, why didn’t you tell Mr. Wang your real na?"
Hearing this, Gu Fuqiao felt that since Wang Yunqing was Chen Bajin’s idol, it was better not to tarnish Wang Yunqing’s image.
After all, she hadn’t spent much ti with Wang Yunqing and couldn’t make judgnts on his character. The reason she didn’t like Wang Yunqing was because he gave her a similar feeling to Ouyang Xuan.
Also, Wang Yunqing’s previous talk about rejecting feudal thoughts, bravely pursuing oneself, while actually abandoning family, was sothing Gu Fuqiao found unacceptable and especially ruinous to her values!
"It’s really nothing, you know I’m not particularly fond of socializing with author friends, so I just use my pseudonym." Gu Fuqiao casually ca up with an excuse.
