Chapter 189 When Will the Goods be Received?
Xu Xiangbei smiled bitterly. He wasn’t trying to obstruct anything, just wanted to protect Gu Xinyan.
But in the current situation, anything he said sounded like it had ulterior motives, even giving the impression that he was jealous of Liu Yuxing.
When Liu Yuxing bid farewell to Gu Xinyan and left, he did so with the smile of a victor, glancing at Xu Xiangbei as if to say, there’s nothing here for you, all your attempts to interfere are futile.
He hurriedly called Gu Xiangyi: "Hurry back, if you don’t come back, your sister is going to be spirited away."
Gu Xiangyi was startled: "Don’t scare me, what’s happened?"
"Ah, it’s a long story, all caused by that Ouyang Jiahui. She held a dance party at home and somehow found this male model named Liu something Xing, who has captivated your sister."
Over the phone, Gu Xiangyi exclaimed: "It’s Liu Yuxing, is it really Liu Yuxing? Did he come to our house?"
Seeing Gu Xiangyi’s excitement, Xu Xiangbei mocked, "Don’t be so excited, are you moaning or what?"
Gu Xiangyi calmed down, "He really came to our house?"
"Yes, he’s quite a looker, just a bit effeminate."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Xiangyi strongly objected: "Don’t talk nonsense, he’s not only a famous model but also the third place in Huaxia’s Mr. Fitness competition. His muscles are very attractive. How could he be effeminate? If you say he’s effeminate, I’ll be mad at you."
Xu Xiangbei sighed lightly: "Both you sisters are charmed by this male seducer, you better come back, I can’t manage your sister."
Gu Xiangyi returned to Spring Villa and was a bit surprised when she saw Gu Xinyan.
Gu Xinyan seemed a bit different from before; her eyes were no longer calm and cold but fiery and vibrant.
This change, she couldn’t determine if it was good or bad.
She exchanged a glance with Xu Xiangbei and smiled at her sister: "Did you meet a big star today?"
With excitement, a blush appeared on Gu Xinyan’s face, making her look even more enchanting: "I saw Liu Yuxing, he’s really handsome, so handsome."
Gu Xiangyi was happy for her sister, but her eyes showed concern: "He’s handsome, but don’t foolishly fall for him. You can be a fan, but don’t be silly."
Gu Xinyan glared at Xu Xiangbei beside her: "Sis, why do you sound just like Xu Xiangbei? Did he call you back? What a joke, how could I fall for Liu Yuxing, but he is really handsome."
Xu Xiangbei defended himself: "Yes, I called your sister back. I’m just worried about you and wanted her to talk some sense into you."
Gu Xiangyi told Xu Xiangbei not to speak, and continued asking: "Xu Xiangbei said you’re going to run off with someone, is that true?"
"Don’t listen to his nonsense, what do you mean run off with someone? Can I even run? Liu Yuxing invited me to audition, they need a lead actress for a period drama, so he asked me to try out."
Gu Xiangyi felt like she was listening to a fantasy tale, filled with surprise and worry. Her sister was beautiful, with an unparalleled demeanor, but letting her act felt unreliable.
Seeing the skepticism and concern in her sister’s eyes, Gu Xinyan grabbed her sister’s hand: "Sis, I want to do something within my capability. Everyone has their own career, but I’m just sitting at home like a parasite, watching everything happen without being able to do anything, waiting to be fed and clothed. I don’t want to live like this, I want my own life, my own career, sis, you should support me, not oppose me."
Gu Xiangyi sighed softly, with a loving gaze, patting her sister’s cold hand: "But you still have to sit in a wheelchair, you can’t walk yet, you’re vulnerable and need protection."
"Sis, I’m not weak, I don’t want your sympathy or pity. I know what I can do, I’ve made up my mind."
Gu Xinyan’s face was calm, her tone firm, as she wheeled herself back to her room and slammed the door shut.
Gu Xiangyi was at a loss, the opportunity to audition in a crew was a good thing, if she really could become the lead, Gu Xinyan’s life would change dramatically.
Xu Xiangbei said: "Your sister is determined to run off with Liu Yuxing, I wasn’t wrong."
"Don’t speak so harshly, she’s just going for an audition. Whether she can be the lead role, is still up in the air, maybe it’s truly an opportunity for Xinyan to grow."
Xu Xiangbei shook his head, still opposing: "Impossible, Liu Yuxing has plenty of pretty girls around him who want to be the lead, he can’t just choose Xin Yan as the lead based on a single impression. From my intuition, Liu Yuxing isn’t that kind-hearted."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei criticizing Liu Yuxing again, Gu Xiangyi became unhappy: "What’s wrong with Liu Yuxing, he might not have acted in many dramas, but I’ve seen them all. He’s handsome, with no scandals, active in charity work, he’s a good guy; maybe you’re overthinking it?"
Xu Xiangbei retorted with dissatisfaction: "What am I overthinking? I’m just following my intuition."
Gu Xiangyi smiled mysteriously: "It’s not your intuition, it’s your jealousy."
"Why would I be jealous of a male model? What would I even gain from it? I’m not looking to humiliate myself."
Gu Xiangyi’s eyes were as sharp as daggers, glaring at Xu Xiangbei: "You’re jealous that my sister likes him, that’s why you’re anxious, not wanting her to audition, could it be that you like my sister?"
Xu Xiangbei stared blankly at Gu Xiangyi, thinking deeply, realizing he might indeed be feeling somewhat jealous, anxious, and perhaps a bit fond of Gu Xinyan, as Gu Xiangyi suggested.
Gu Xiangyi laughed lightly: "How strange, a big wolf like you, falling for a lamb, is this destined by nature, for a wolf to love a lamb?"
Xu Xiangbei’s expression turned playful, as he reached to hug Gu Xiangyi: "I want to eat both of you little lambs, come, let me have a taste."
Gu Xiangyi didn’t push away Xu Xiangbei’s hand and silently nestled in his embrace: "My sister wants to have her own career, as her older sister I should agree and do my best to help her. If she wants to audition, let her, but you have a task, you must accompany her throughout the process, protect her, and ensure she’s not harmed."
Smelling the scent of shower gel from Gu Xiangyi’s fair neck, Xu Xiangbei’s desire surged, he joked with a grin: "To fully protect your sister, my appearance fee is high, what reward do you plan to give me?"
Gu Xiangyi’s eyes were dreamy, smiling enchantingly: "Then I’ll offer myself, haven’t you wanted to try the goods, when would you like to claim?"
Xu Xiangbei was a bit startled, Gu Xiangyi had always been elusive, why was she suddenly so willing to offer herself today?
Just as he wanted to push his luck and further his conquest, a petite silhouette appeared in front of them, Ouyang Jiahui smiled and said: "I’m just here to borrow some shampoo, I didn’t interrupt you two, did I?"
