1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 328 Are you jealous?

“Cousin!” Song Yunqing’s eyes lit up.

Gu Qingye hummed in agreement, walked to Lu Youyou's side, and naturally placed his left hand on her waist, his gaze sweeping over the blond, blue-eyed man opposite them.

"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller, I am Lu Youyou's husband, and my surname is Gu."

Lawrence subtly sized up the man who entered, then smiled and shook Gu Qingye's outstretched hand: "Hello, you can just call me Lawrence."

Song Yunqing waved enthusiastically: "Cousin, you've come at the perfect time! The dishes have just been served, we haven't even started eating yet!"

"Are these enough dishes?" Gu Qingye glanced at the order menu.

"That's enough, that's enough. We can add more later if it's not enough!" Song Yunqing nodded quickly.

Gu Qingye gestured for Lawrence to enter, and Lawrence returned the gesture.

The plate of meat that Song Yunqing had been eyeing was finally put into the pot. In just a few seconds, the meat turned from red to white. She quickly scooped it out and put it in Lawrence's bowl first: "Quick, eat it while it's hot!"

In China, she considers herself a semi-host and is very willing to promote Chinese cuisine to her American friends.

Her eyes were full of anticipation: "How is it? Isn't it very youthful?"

"It's delicious, the best lamb I've ever eaten."

Hearing Lawrence's comments, Song Yunqing contentedly picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in her mouth. She was so happy that she wanted to sigh.

Lu Youyou's attention wasn't on the meat. She looked at the man beside her teasingly and asked in a low voice, "How come I didn't know you could speak English?"

Gu Qingye and Lawrence communicated entirely in English, seemingly to accommodate their foreign friend. He also spoke to Song Yunqing in English.

The intonation wasn't particularly smooth, and the speaking speed wasn't fast, but there were absolutely no grammatical errors.

"I've received training before."

Gu Qingye's answer was simple, but Lu Youyou knew immediately that it must be part of Niu Sihe's training content. She smiled.

"That's right."

"Not as good as you."

Under the table, her fingers were gently squeezed, and then a warm palm covered them.

Lu Youyou glanced at the man sitting upright beside her. No one knew that, out of sight, their fingers were intertwined.

Gu Qingye didn't say much throughout the evening, but he could naturally join in on whatever Song Yunqing and Lawrence talked about. With Song Yunqing being like a little sun, the meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

Before the event ended, Song Yunqing and Lawrence made plans to visit the Summer Palace together the next day. On the way home, she began to praise Gu Qingye's English proficiency.

"Cousin, I had no idea your English was so good! You're amazing!"

When the Song family returned to China last time, the first thing they said to each other was in Chinese. Song Yunqing really didn't know that he had studied a foreign language.

"It's a pity my cousin can't travel abroad easily; with this level of skill, he could go anywhere in the world." Song Yunqing rested her head on the back of the passenger seat and sighed, "Sister-in-law, wouldn't you say that's like attracts like, geniuses attracting geniuses?"

Lu Youyou smiled and glanced at her: "You've started making up sentences again."

"Hey, it's not important!" Song Yunqing slid down the back of the chair and clung to Lu Youyou. "I'm also a minor genius, so let's be attracted to each other. Shall we continue our candlelight chat tonight?"

Gu Qingye glanced back, the light bulb growing brighter every day: "You've been talking all night, aren't you tired?"

Song Yunqing waved her hand dismissively: "What's tiring about chatting? My sister-in-law and I haven't seen each other for over a year, and we don't know when we'll see each other again, so we should take this opportunity to say a few more words."

She came all this way, so it's okay if the wattage is high. The couple is great, but the girl is even better!
Gu Qingye was reluctant to agree, but when he looked up, he saw Song Yunqing clinging to Lu Youyou in the rearview mirror.

My nemesis cousin who came all this way, tsk...

The three of them returned home under the moonlight.

"It's so hot! I'm going to take a shower now. Remember to come find me later, sister-in-law!" Song Yunqing said and rushed into the house without looking back.

There was nothing she could do; her cousin's face was a little dark, and she couldn't bear it. Lu Youyou suppressed a laugh and nudged Gu Qingye: "Alright, don't scare her. It's only a few days; she'll be going back next week."

“A few days?” Gu Qingye’s voice was deep. “A day is like three autumns, so a few days is like more than ten years.”

Lu Youyou wriggled out of his arms and ran backwards into the distance: "It's okay, just bear with it."

The crisp laughter disappeared around the corner of the corridor, leaving Gu Qingye alone in the courtyard, his eyes growing darker.

The bathroom was filled with steam. Lu Youyou stood under the showerhead, letting the warm water flow down from above her head.

Suddenly, *click*

"Who?"

She wiped the water off her face and was about to turn around when a familiar body wrapped around her from behind.

"You...how..."

Before she could finish speaking, the fire was turned away, and the hot flame fell on her lips. She trembled, and her consciousness began to waver.

Gu Qingye's clothes were completely soaked, the semi-transparent fabric clinging to his well-defined body.

He held tightly to the person sliding down the car, their eyes met, but he said nothing, only shoving his lips with even more ferocious movements than before.

"Well……"

After a long while, Lu Youyou finally regained her breathing and leaned against Gu Qingye to wait for her breath to calm down.

Half of her mind was vibrant and colorful, while the other half was completely blank.

There were still people at home, so how did he barge in? Lu Youyou looked up, but was frozen in place by the intense look in Gu Qingye's eyes.

"you……"

“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.” Gu Qingye raised his hand and gently brushed away the tears from Lu Youyou’s eyes. “Tonight at dinner, when he turned back as he was leaving…”

The steaming heat made Lu Youyou's thinking a beat slower, and it took her a few seconds to understand the meaning of those seemingly random words.

"You mean Lawrence?"

Gu Qingye looked down and gazed at the scene. After a long while, he sighed softly and slowly tightened his arms.

He looked at you several times tonight.

"Huh?" Lu Youyou looked up in surprise.

Really? How come she didn't know?
Gu Qingye cupped her face in one hand: "I'm a man, so I understand men."

Because he loved her deeply, he understood that look in her eyes.

Lawrence looked at Lu Youyou no more than five times throughout the night, sometimes to chat, sometimes to pass her bowls and chopsticks, and each time seemed to have a legitimate reason.

But the unintentional depth in his eyes still caught Gu Qingye's attention.

Why would Lawrence, who never gets involved in the family business, come to China with an inspection team?

Was it just to visit an alumnus with whom one was not particularly close?
Gu Qingye knew how charming Lu Youyou was; it was hard for anyone who had spent time with her not to be attracted to her, especially since the two of them had a life-saving debt between them.

"Are you jealous?" Lu Youyou chuckled and pinched his waist.

Gu Qingye didn't deny it at all, and lowered his head to peck at the corner of her mouth.

Lu Youyou's smile widened, and she couldn't stop laughing.

This was the first time she had ever seen Gu Qingye jealous; even the way this man showed jealousy was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
