The Foster Daughter's Attraction
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was rare to see Hai Tangâs friend come to visit her house, and it was a junior she knew in the past. Gu Yun consciously took on the responsibility of entertaining her. He sat down on the sofa with the two of them and started chatting.
âItâs quite unexpected. At first, I was worried that Tangtang would be bored at home. With you accompanying her, Iâm much more relieved.âGu Yun said.
Yu Luâs smile froze. She didnât expect Gu Yun to keep calling her Hai Tang after seeing her, which made her a little uncomfortable.
However, Yu Lu did not show it. She reached out to hold Hai Tangâs hand and smiled, somewhat embarrassed and close.âTang Tang, donât blame me for not telling you that I know your husband. I was mainly afraid that you would overthink. â
Seeing Hai Tangâs awkward expression, Yu Lu hurriedly explained,ââWe werenât particularly close before. We just attended classes together, attended international student gatherings, held meetings together, occasionally had dinner together, and greeted each other when we met.â
She counted on her fingers and gave several examples in a row. This made it seem that she had a lot of interactions with Gu Yun in her life.
But in fact, every time Gu Yun interacted with her, there would be many other international students present. They would only interact during large-scale events. Because of her flamboyant and lively personality, Gu Yun had some memories of her.
Gu Yunâs expression was a little cold. He pursed his lips and looked at Hai Tang. He seemed to agree but was actually refuting, saying,ââYes, we werenât close before.â
âAhaha, I feel that your life abroad is quite fun.âHai Tang smiled awkwardly. She had never been abroad, so she did not understand the topic Gu Yun and Yu
Lu were discussing.
âHai Tang, youâre always so cheerful and innocent.â
Yu Lu smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. Seeing that the words she deliberately said did not cause Hai Tangâs emotions to fluctuate, she said hypocritically, ââActually, although Iâm very surprised that you can marry Gu
Yun, Iâm especially happy for you. I feel that compared to my good-for-nothing younger brother, who has not responded to you even after you pursued him for more than ten years, Gu Yun still seems to be loyal and affectionate.â
Hai Tang and Gu Yun fell silent.
Hai Tang did not understand why Yu Lu would suddenly mention Yu Heng on such an occasion, while Gu Yun remembered the hardships Hai Tang had
suffered in the past and felt a little unhappy.
However, he did remember that Yu Heng did have a sister overseas. In Hai Tangâs past life, Yu Hengâs sister did not have a strong presence.
Therefore, he didnât realize that Yu Hengâs sister, Yu Lu, was actually Lucy, whom he met when he was studying abroad.
Yu Lu quickly pretended to be surprised and worried. She covered her mouth and widened her eyes.âWhat? Tang Tang, Gu Yun doesnât know about you and Yu Heng, right?â
With that, she squeezed Hai Tangâs hand nervously and said in shame, ââ1 donât know. Did I say something wrong? Iâm sorry, I didnât do it on purpose!â
Seeing this, Gu Yun said,â To me, finding Tang Tang to be my wife is like finding a treasure. Before this, the world did not have foresight, so it was inevitable that the treasure would be covered in dust.â
His words not only praised Hai Tang and helped her out of her predicament, but also mocked Yu Heng for being blind.
Yu Lu could hear the subconscious defense of Hai Tang in his words, and she felt even more unbalanced.
Hai Tang didnât know how to respond to this topic. Of the two people in front of her, Gu Yun was her husband in name, and Yu Lu was the sister of Yu Heng, who had been entangled with her for many years. Their identities were somewhat sensitive.
She felt that keeping silent was the best way to deal with the situation, so she smiled slightly in response and lowered her head to drink tea.
The atmosphere at the moment was a little subtle. Yu Lu let go of Hai Tangâs hand and deliberately changed the topic.ââSenior Gu, guess what wedding gift I brought you? Let me remind you that it has something to do with my hobby.â
There was a hint of scheming in her words. She used her own hobbies as a hint. Whether Gu Yun answered correctly or not, she could hint to Hai Tang that Gu Yun understood her.
It showed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Yu Lu deliberately turned her head to look at Hai Tangâs expression and found that her hand that was raising the teacup paused.
But other than that, Hai Tang had no other reaction. It was as if she did not understand what Yu Lu was saying..
