There really was no one else here, so when Gu Jinlin recovered from his shock, he slowly relaxed. He looked at the young girl. She really was very cute.
He also touched the rabbit ears on Gu Qingyao’s head and smiled. “She really is very cute!”
The two n tugged at her rabbit ears, playing with them in delight!
Gu Qingyao: “...”
She rolled her eyes and went to brush her teeth and wash her face, ignoring the two childish n.
When she returned, she sat on the sofa. “Third Brother, what are you doing here? And Elder Brother Beihan, where did you go last night?”
Gu Jinlin and Mo Beihan exchanged a glance and Mo Beihan said, “You fell asleep very early last night and I didn’t want to wake you when I saw that you were sleeping so sweetly. Your third brother was worried about you, so he ca to look for you. He could not bear to wake you, so he spent the night here. I slept with him in the study.”
Gu Qingyao: “...”
So he had been ho after all!
She thought there was no one at ho!
Mo Beihan had already prepared breakfast. Rice porridge, small buns and so simple preserved vegetables. Then the three of them had a hardboiled egg each.
The rice was fine white rice, without a single coarse grain mixed in it. The buns were also made of fine, white flour and there were eggs too.
This was considered a very extravagant breakfast. Or at least, much better than what most other households could afford.
Gu Jinlin looked at the breakfast. “We’re eating such nice things?”
Mo Beihan smiled. “Since Yao Yao is here, of course I must give her sothing nicer to eat. What if she loses weight?”
Gu Jinlin nodded. He did not think there was anything wrong with that statent. Of course his younger sister should eat well.
After the al, the two n continued to stare at her and occasionally reached out to tug at her rabbit ears. Gu Qingyao was speechless.
So after the al, Gu Qingyao just went to change.
The 30,000 yuan from last night was still under the pillow in the bedroom.
When Gu Qingyao saw it, she hastily put the money away. In these tis, this was a large sum of money. She must hide it carefully.
Outside the room, Mo Beihan was frowning when he saw that Gu Jinlin still refused to leave. “Are you very free today?”
Gu Jinlin said, “What’s the matter? I’m on leave today and don’t need to go to work. I have plenty of ti.”
Mo Beihan: “...”
He was a little annoyed.
“I’m bringing Yao Yao to the departnt store to have fun later on. Why don’t you go ho?”
Gu Jinlin grinned. “The departnt store! I’ll co too. I can buy so things for Yao Yao.”
Mo Beihan gritted his teeth. “I’ll buy anything that Yao Yao wants. You should hurry ho! Little Seven and Little Eight are waiting for you to teach them how to write!”
Gu Jinlin pursed his lips. “How boastful. If my younger sister takes a fancy to many things, will you be able to buy them all? You still need to support your two nephews and your mother on your salary. Why pretend to be generous!”
Gu Jinlin raised his eyes upwards with a conceited look!
Mo Beihan smiled smugly. “I definitely have enough money for Yao Yao to spend.”
Gu Jinlin did not believe him. As they were arguing, soone suddenly knocked on the door. Mo Beihan went to open it and saw Steward Zhong standing at the door.
Mo Beihan hesitated, but Steward Zhong said respectfully, “Beihan, Old Master asked to give you these things.”
Steward Zhong simply used his na when others were present. That was how things were done in these tis, and it was safest to do so.
Although he used his na, Steward Zhong’s air was one of extre respect. Gu Jinlin could clearly see that.
Mo Beihan frowned. “Old Master hasn’t left?”
“He has left.” When he saw that Mo Beihan was displeased, Steward Zhong hastened to explain. He was afraid that Mo Beihan would misunderstand and think that Old Master was spying on him.
