Jiang Qi froze for a moment before she nodded her head, “OK, Brother, I’ll go right away.”

She smiled at Gu Shuling awkwardly and invited her to follow.

“Thank you, Xiao Qi.”

Gu Shuling did not care at all. No matter how Jiang Qi snubbed her and avoided her, the smile on her face was blooming like spring flowers in March.

Jiang Qi kept her head down, too afraid to look at Gu Shuling as she quietly found the most remote room for her so she could be as far away from everyone else as possible.

This was exactly what Fang Zhihan meant by ‘quiet’.

Gu Shuling scanned her eyes across the courtyard and finally settled on Jiang Qi’s face, “Xiao Qi, which room is your brother staying in?”

Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment and replied gently, “My brother lives on the other side. It’s already full over there. Sister Yu is staying to the right of him and I am staying to the left.”

Gu Shuling was a little taller than Jiang Qi. She stretched out her hand with a smile, placed it on Jiang Qi’s shoulder, and asked, “Do you remember what you promised me before?”

Jiang Qi brushed her hand off and looked away, “I don’t remember what I promised you. I need to go to the hot spring with my sister-in-law. I’ll get going first or I’ll be late.”

“Xiao Qi,” Gu Shuling called her back. “I only came here because I saw your update on your feed. I thought you were giving me a hint, that’s why I came.”

Jiang Qi’s face turned pale when she heard this.

She immediately waved her hands and stuttered, “No, no, no…it was just a casual post.”

Gu Shuling smiled, “Why do you look so scared? I won’t tell your brother. But, Xiao Qi, if I help you, you should help me too. It’s a mutual exchange, right?”

“But, my brother already has a girlfriend,” Jiang Qi said weakly.

Gu Shuling replied gently, “But, didn’t we agree in the past that if I got together with your brother, I would make him treat you well and treasure you as his only sister?”

The woman in front of her smiled elegantly, but Jiang Qi felt disgusted. Choking on her words a little, she said, “Sister Yu is really good. She is already with my brother and my brother already treats me well.”

Gu Shuling smiled, but her smile did not look sincere, “So, Xiao Qi, are you planning to throw me aside now that you have no use for me?”

Jiang Qi immediately replied, “No, but my brother already has a girlfriend. I can’t break them apart.”

Gu Shuling’s expression turned cold and fierce in an instant.

But, it was only for a short moment before it returned to normal.

She wanted to smile, but she couldn’t as she looked at Jiang Qi, “Xiao Qi, have you forgotten? If I didn’t help you in the past, your brother may have never forgiven you.”

“Are you…threatening me?” Jiang Qi looked at her with a gaze as cold as falling hail.

“Xiao Qi, we are good friends, how can I threaten you? I like your brother and I like you. I want to be your friend for life,” Gu Shuling said with a smile.

Jiang Qi’s frustration continued to rise as her cheeks turned red with anger, “Gu Shuling, you’re taking things too far!”

Gu Shuling grabbed onto her hand and sighed, “I suggest you don’t act like this. I mean you no harm. I simply like your brother too much. If I can’t be with him in this lifetime, it will be a huge regret. It’s not just a regret between me and him, but a regret between me and you. Are you really sure that you won’t consider helping me?”
