Chapter 39: Chapter 39 - Su Wanyan's Plan

Gu Liuyun suspected he heard it incorrectly; Su Xiaoyue said they would stay at her place for a while. It’s not that she was unwilling to have them over, but something feels off about this. He asked, puzzled, “You, I understand, but why would Wanyan want to stay here? If I recall correctly, isn’t Wanyan taking charge of the Su family’s overseas business? Does she have the time to stay with me?”

Su Wanyan was about to respond but got interrupted by Su Xiaoyue. “My sister has nowhere else to go, so where else can she stay?”

“Su Xiaoyue!” Su Wanyan glared at her sister, contemplating her words.

Su Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue, stopped talking, and started sipping her drink. Gu Liuyun furrowed his brow and stared at the two girls for a while before asking, “So, what exactly happened? I’ve noticed something was amiss in your conversation earlier.”

Su Wanyan remained silent, and Su Xiaoyue quietly raised her head to glance at her.

Gu Liuyun rapped his fingers on the table, saying, “Xiaoyue, you explain.”

Su Xiaoyue looked at Su Wanyan and said, “My father wants my sister to marry Li Donglai. She refused, and we argued. So, I brought her here.”

Gu Liuyun frowned and inquired, “Li Donglai, the second son of the Li family? Why would Uncle Su want Wanyan to marry him?”

Su Xiaoyue scratched her head and explained, “Because the Li family is a major player in overseas shipping, and my dad wants to expand overseas markets. Building a connection with the Li family is the best way.”

“That guy Li Donglai has liked my sister since we were kids. He asked the Li family’s patriarch to propose the marriage to my dad, and then…”

Gu Liuyun banged the table, saying, “Uncle Su is going too far. Wanyan, you don’t need to worry about this. Since my Uncle wants overseas markets, I’ll talk to my father. Our Gu family also has overseas connections, and we can expand without relying on the Li family.”

Su Wanyan shook her head, saying, “Even if we don’t have to ask the Li family this time, we’ll eventually have to ask someone else. I will not have freedom if I rely on the Su family.”

“I’m planning to create a gaming guild with the help of ‘Nine Realms’ to establish my own business and break free from my father’s control,” she continued.

At this point, Su Xiaoyue nodded, agreeing, “That’s right. I want to join my sister’s guild too, preparing for my future and getting out of Dad’s control.”

Her sudden enthusiasm lightened the previously tense atmosphere. Su Wanyan smiled and affectionately tapped her on the head, saying, “Aunt Gu and our mother have already earmarked you. They’ll marry you to Xiaoyun. What anyone else says doesn’t matter.”

As soon as these words came out, Su Xiaoyue blushed instantly.

“Oh, sister, what are you talking about!” Gu Liuyun was smiling while listening, and Su Wanyan was right. His mother had arranged a marriage between him and Su Xiaoyue long ago. However, various unexpected events in their previous lives prevented them from getting together.@@novelbin@@

But in this life, he wouldn’t miss the opportunity. However, the most urgent matter was to resolve Su Wanyan’s situation.

“Sister Wanyan, you’ve already decided to establish a professional gaming guild with ‘Nine Realms’ as the goal. Do you have any plans?” Gu Liuyun inquired.

Su Wanyan nodded and replied, “Because of your situation, I’ve been following the professional gaming scene for a while. Given my current circumstances, I plan to acquire the Scarlet Rose Gaming Guild and use them as the main force to enter ‘Nine Realms.'”

“Scarlet Rose?” Gu Liuyun asked in surprise.

“Blood Rose” replied Su Wanyan, “But, its current state is not great.”

Gu Liuyun then mentioned, “But the current situation of Blood Rose isn’t very good. The guild is…”

Su Wanyan, with a confident and somewhat seductive smile, interrupted, “She will refuse others, but she will never refuse me.”

Gu Liuyun was curious and inquired, “Why?”

Su Wanyan chuckled, blinked, and said, “It’s a secret.”

…

Gu Liuyun didn’t receive an answer, which left him feeling frustrated. As he walked into the mall, his face showed a sulky expression. However, he soon perked up because all the men in the mall were giving him envious looks.

The reason for this was the two exceptional beauties by his side. To his left was Su Xiaoyue, a lively young girl who clung to him, chattering and laughing incessantly. To his right was the sultry and alluring mature sister, Su Wanyan, who leaned against him playfully, sharing jokes and laughter.

The combination of these two naturally made all the men around them look on with jealousy. Su Xiaoyue and Su Wanyan, a young girl and a mature beauty exuding extraordinary beauty, were enough to drive any man wild. And here they were, both accompanying one man simultaneously – how could this not make others envious?

Gu Liuyun was basking in the envy of others and enjoying the attention. The feeling of being so blatantly envied was truly wonderful.

Su Xiaoyue noticed Gu Liuyun’s expression and suddenly, with a mischievous smile, asked, “Boss, will the lady boss be unhappy if she finds out you’ve secretly taken the two of us out shopping like this?”

Gu Liuyun was puzzled by this unexpected question and didn’t know how to respond.
