Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 427: Aunt

As Gu Qingjiu closed the bedroom door, she saw the beautiful lady sitting gracefully on the sofa.

With a modest smile, Gu Qingjiu said, “Auntie, please wait a moment. The Chief Instructor will be out shortly after. I’ll pour you a glass of water.”

With no idea as to what she should be doing, she went to pour the beautiful lady a glass of water.

“Chief Instructor?”

Upon hearing this, the beautiful lady looked amused. “You’re a soldier under his charge?”

“Ah.” Gu Qingjiu was embarrassed. “Yes.”

For a soldier and the Chief Instructor to be in the same room, anyone who wasn’t too dumb would be able to tell what was going on.

Gu Qingjiu, who had no idea who the person before her was, could only brace herself and admit to it.

She brought the glass of water to the beautiful lady. The latter’s beautiful eyes swept up and down Gu Qingjiu as she sized her up.

To be sized up like that inevitably made one feel a sense of pressure.

This was what Gu Qingjiu felt. She instantly straightened her back, her expression turning much calmer.

“You’re that soldier who transferred from the Dayi City military with him?”

This question instantly made Gu Qingjiu feel dazed.

She was surprised that the beautiful lady knew about this.

She didn’t deny it. “Yes.”

The glow in the beautiful lady’s eyes intensified.

She was about to continue speaking when He Niancheng pulled open the door from inside.

His expression grew colder when he saw the person in the living room.

Just like the cold and aloof Chief Instructor Gu Qingjiu remembered him to be.

“Aunt.”

However, Gu Qingjiu was surprised to hear this.

Aunt?

So it turned out the beautiful lady was He Niancheng’s aunt.

Her astonished gaze swept over the beautiful lady. Smiling, the latter said, “If I didn’t come to look for you today, are you never going to visit us?”

He Niancheng had already changed into a fresh set of proper clothes. The dark purple shirt he was wearing accentuated his incredibly handsome looks.

Perhaps because of lack of sleep, his expression didn’t appear all that friendly.

He walked over and first took a glance at Gu Qingjiu, before replying to the beautiful lady, “Indeed, I wasn’t planning on visiting you people.”

Even if Gu Qingjiu had no idea what was going on, she was speechless to hear this.

The Chief Instructor truly didn’t give anyone some face to spare at all.

The person before him was his senior.

But before she could understand what was going on, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t abruptly interfere in this.

Since He Niancheng had come out to tend to his aunt, she quietly sat by the side and played with her phone. She wasn’t planning on butting into the conversation between the aunt and nephew.

Disappointment flashed on the woman’s face. But she masked her awkwardness by picking up the glass of water to drink from it. Twitching the corners of her lips into a helpless smile, she said, “You’re still the same. No wonder you’re not willing to apologize to your dad.”

“Apologize?”

There was a darkness in He Niancheng’s eyes. “I wasn’t in the wrong. Aunt, you know this very well.”

“But your Third Uncle and the rest don’t think so!”

The woman, called Helian Man, creased her brows and set down the glass of water, then said, “You’re so stubborn, I wonder who you take after. Now that you’ve come to China, your dad asked me to look after you. But from the way I see it, he was worrying too much.”

There was the element of spite in her words.

He Niancheng crossed his long legs and placed a hand on the armrest and propped up his forehead with the other. He looked frustrated.

But when his gaze swept over Gu Qingjiu, who was playing with her phone not far away, he regained his calm.

“Thanks for your concern Aunt, but I don’t need that.”
