The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 115 - 114: Gu Jiaojiao Wants to Live a Good Life
Li Hongmei suddenly brought up Gu Jiaojiao.
Yun Hao froze for a moment, as if stunned by the news. Then he snapped back to his senses and instinctively looked at Xu Wenwan.
He saw Xu Wenwan staring straight at him, her expression searching.
Yun Hao quickly spoke up, "Comrade Hong Mei, whatever Gu Jiaojiao does is her own business. It has nothing to do with me."
Li Hongmei acted as if she didn’t see him rushing to distance himself from Gu Jiaojiao, and continued on her own.
"If Jiaojiao is willing to live a proper life with Leng Yuan, then she won’t bother you anymore. After all, she did so much for you back then, so no matter how you look at it..."
Her words were laden with insinuation.
Yun Hao’s face instantly darkened.
Xu Wenwan’s expression also soured in an instant.
Not at Yun Hao, but at Li Hongmei.
She had written the novel, so of course she knew about Gu Jiaojiao pestering Yun Hao.
This was a plot point she had specifically arranged to humiliate Gu Jiaojiao. She wanted Gu Jiaojiao to suffer from unrequited love.
So, not only was she not angry about it, she was actually quite pleased.
Even though the Gu Jiaojiao in the novel was just a stand-in for her cousin, seeing that face suffer a setback thrilled her.
It had always been a one-sided crush from Gu Jiaojiao’s side. For Li Hongmei to bring it up now, she clearly had ill intentions.
’I’m a transmigrator from the future. Would I really fight with Yun Hao over such a petty trick?’ 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
’Childish.’
However, Xu Wenwan couldn’t act as if she didn’t care about the matter at all.
She thought for two seconds, then added a hint of grievance to her tone.
"Brother Yun Hao, what’s this about Gu Jiaojiao? You’d better explain it to me clearly!"
Yun Hao had thought Xu Wenwan would misunderstand.
But looking at Xu Wenwan’s petulant pout, he could tell that even though she was angry, she clearly cared about him.
His heart softened.
He even found this side of Xu Wenwan exceptionally cute.
An indulgent smile appeared on his face.
"Wen Wan, Gu Jiaojiao is just a girl who used to pester me. She’s married now and has absolutely nothing to do with me. Please don’t misunderstand."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yun Hao himself was stunned.
’How could I say something like that?’
’Gu Jiaojiao is already married. Won’t saying this ruin her reputation?’
But the words had just tumbled out, as if beyond his control.
Xu Wenwan’s expression immediately brightened considerably.
She didn’t notice Yun Hao’s strange expression. Instead, she put on the magnanimous air befitting her position and generously forgave him.
"Alright, I’ll let it go this time. But from now on, you’re not allowed to hide anything from me, understand?"
Yun Hao nodded.
To the side, Li Hongmei, who had been trying to sow discord, was completely ignored.
’They made up that quickly?’
She was unwilling to accept it, but there was nothing she could do.
If Xu Wenwan refused to get jealous, she couldn’t exactly force her to be.
The strange feeling in Yun Hao’s heart flashed by and was gone. He ultimately attributed it to caring too much for Xu Wenwan.
As he thought this, his expression grew even more tender.
’My Wen Wan is just like she was when we were children—smart, generous, and confident.’
Yun Hao wanted to say more to Xu Wenwan, but Li Hongmei was staring at them intently with her dark eyes, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
He couldn’t help but look at Li Hongmei, hinting for her to leave.
Li Hongmei stared at the ground, pretending not to see.
Yun Hao was speechless.
Xu Wenwan also wanted to spend more time with Yun Hao, so she too looked at Li Hongmei.
Li Hongmei stared at the sky, pretending not to see.
Both Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan were rather speechless. Their hints were so obvious, yet Li Hongmei just stood there like a wooden post, not moving an inch.
Finally, Xu Wenwan couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up.
"Li Zhiqing, I’d like to talk with Yun Hao. Is it convenient?"
Li Hongmei nodded. "It is convenient. You two go on and talk. I promise I won’t disturb you."
Xu Wenwan was speechless.
’This is the first time I’ve met someone who can’t take a hint!’
She gave a dry laugh and looked at Yun Hao. "Brother Yun Hao, it’s about time to make dinner. I should head back now."
In this era, men and women had to be mindful of propriety. It wouldn’t be right for Xu Wenwan to follow Yun Hao back to his dormitory, especially since it wouldn’t be private with others there.
But anyone with a bit of tact would know to give a couple some space. This Li Hongmei was acting as if she were blind, completely unable to read the room.
Xu Wenwan had some suspicions, but looking at Li Hongmei’s charcoal-like appearance, she wasn’t the least bit worried.
’Worst case, Brother Yun Hao and I will just find another place for our date next time.’
Yun Hao was helpless as well. He couldn’t bring himself to kick someone out, so he could only let Xu Wenwan go back.
Only after she left did he turn to Li Hongmei.
"Comrade Li, have I offended you in some way?"
