Chapter 249: The Uncle Is Going on a Date
Gu Qianxi deliberately ignored her aggrieved expression and said lightly, "Sit down first. In a moment, I’ll introduce a friend to you.""A friend?" Tong Keke was slightly taken aback. She practically knew all of her uncle’s friends.
Could it be that her uncle had made a new friend? Tong Keke’s small lips pressed together as a hint of joy filled her heart. It seemed that her uncle wasn’t entirely indifferent to her—he had made a new friend and specifically wanted to introduce them to her.
Gu Qianxi’s expression subtly shifted. He was usually calm and composed, yet at this moment, he felt a peculiar sense of restlessness.
He couldn’t quite understand how this feeling had arisen; he simply felt as though he were a thief caught in the act, deeply uneasy.
His deep, shadowy eyes couldn’t help but steal glances at the young girl across from him. As he saw her peaceful face still tinged with a smile, his own tension only heightened.
Just as Tong Keke was filled with joy, a waft of fragrance carried by the wind approached. Moments later, a soft, sweet voice rang out, "Qianxi..."
The syrupy and intimate tone of that call made Tong Keke’s mind buzz and go completely blank.
She sharply turned her head to see a seductive, elegant woman standing nearby at some point.
The woman was wearing a designer dress, her figure tall and slender. Her slightly tousled, shoulder-length hair curled elegantly at the ends, enhancing her feminine allure.
Tong Keke’s beautiful eyes widened, and even she had to admit that this woman exuded an air of refined, breathtaking charm.
"Weiwei, you’re here. Please sit down!" Gu Qianxi immediately stood up, gallantly pulling out the chair next to him. His low, magnetic voice called out her name, conveying a certain intimacy.
Who is this woman?
Tong Keke suddenly felt as if she couldn’t breathe. Her delicate face instantly turned ashen.
"And this is..." Lin Weiwei’s lovely eyes, full of surprise, landed on the young girl in front of her. With a hint of curiosity, she looked at Gu Qianxi, her enchanting peach blossom eyes almost sparkling with allure as she gazed at the man.
Tong Keke’s breathing became tight, as if facing a great enemy. She nervously and uneasily glanced at her uncle, then at the gentle, beautiful woman by his side.
She couldn’t help but speculate—what’s their relationship? Why do they seem like they’ve known each other for a long time?
"She’s my niece. Her name is Tong Keke." Gu Qianxi introduced her with a perfectly composed expression.
Lin Weiwei immediately gave a gentle and friendly smile and said, "Hello, Keke. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Lin Weiwei."
At this moment, Tong Keke’s heart had descended into utter chaos. No matter how she looked at it, she felt her uncle and this woman had an inexplicably tangled connection.
Could it be... during her three years at boarding school, her uncle had already gotten a girlfriend?
And he had been hiding it from her all along, always...
Tong Keke’s fragile heart was unbearably distressed. She couldn’t even muster the most basic polite smile; instead, she immediately lowered her head.
Her eyes were brimming with tears. She had never possessed a particularly strong inner fortitude, and now she was struck by such hurt and dismay. The only way she could express her emotions was through this panicked helplessness, this flood of sorrow.
Lin Weiwei, looking at the girl across from her who couldn’t even manage a smile and simply kept her head lowered, was taken aback.
Gu Qianxi’s supposedly casual demeanor betrayed the fact that he had taken in every emotion displayed by the little one opposite him.
