Chapter 314: Guess Which Brother I Like Most?
At that time, the Yao family mocked her for being a plaything and they lost the qualification to enter the auction house. These people knew now that she was Mrs. Gu, so they immediately rushed over to apologize?
Seeing that Qiao Xi wasn’t saying anything, the women looked embarrassed. “Miss Qiao, it’s not our fault for not knowing. We didn’t expect you and President Gu to…”
They leaned over slightly. “It’s also because of what the Yao family said that we thought like that.”
Qiao Xi’s face was slightly red as she hurriedly waved her hand. “It’s fine, but how did all of you find out?”
Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, everyone was even more certain of her relationship with Gu Zheng.
Their expressions were solemn. They had to get Qiao Xi to forgive them today. Otherwise, it would bring a devastating blow to their respective families.
The few of them wanted to kneel on the floor. “We guessed it. If you and President Gu had told us earlier, we wouldn’t have dared to offend you. Miss Qiao, if you don’t want outsiders to know, we won’t say a word!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng.
He sat beside her with one hand on the chair, looking very lazy yet domineering.
Everyone saw that President Gu wasn’t saying anything, which meant that he had tacitly acknowledged the two’s relationship. They had to build a good relationship with Qiao Xi in the future!
President Gu’s younger sister… That meant she was the daughter of a truly wealthy family! It was the greatest honor.
Even though Yao Mengqing was President Gu’s childhood friend, for the sake of his younger sister, he wouldn’t care about his friend.
It was obvious who was closer between a sister and a friend.
The ladies started fawning over them. “President Gu is so nice to Miss Qiao!”
Qiao Xi blushed and lowered her head shyly.
How did this matter get out? How embarrassing!
Qiao Xi said shyly, “We just got married…” They hadn’t been married for long, so they had yet to make any official announcements. She hoped nobody would spread the news.
Before she could finish his sentence, she heard a woman’s voice—
“Although the two of you aren’t biological siblings, President Gu only has you as his sister. He’s really good to you. It’s such a blessing to have an older brother like President Gu!”
Qiao Xi: “…”
She swallowed the words that came out of her mouth, then coughed violently as her cheeks started flushing.
She looked at her in shock and asked in disbelief, “What? Gu Zheng and I are siblings?”
Everyone exclaimed, “Yes! We all know that President Gu is your brother. Miss Qiao, you don’t have to hide it anymore. Qin An is your brother and Xue Liang is your brother. So of course, President Gu is also your brother!”
“…”
Qiao Xi gulped and was forced to nod under the confident gazes of everyone. “Right… We’re… siblings.”
After everyone left, Qiao Xi’s heart that was hanging in the air finally relaxed.
Unexpectedly, a faint voice came from beside her. “Siblings?”
Qiao Xi’s heart thumped as she slowly turned around.
Gu Zheng smirked. “You have quite a number of brothers.”
Qiao Xi instantly felt a chill run down her spine. Gu Zheng was truly too terrifying. He seemed to be smiling, but in reality, his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Yes, she had many brothers. There was nothing wrong with that!
No!
Qiao Xi looked at him with slight bewilderment.
‘Is Gu Zheng jealous? Why is he so jealous?
‘Are you jealous of my brothers?’
Gu Zheng blushed and turned his face away.
Qiao Xi squeezed out a fawning smile and moved in front of him, speaking in a coquettish voice, “Gu Zheng, you’re my older brother as well, but you’re different from them.”
Gu Zheng’s body instantly heated up as he suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
Her elegant breath landed on him, while her delicate body was pressed against his. She even spoke in such a soft voice. What was she trying to do?
Gu Zheng’s eyes darkened as his voice turned hoarse. “I’m not your brother.”
Qiao Xi pouted shyly, her eyes filled with temptation. “Actually, I have a favorite brother. Do you want to know who he is?”
Gu Zheng felt a wave of anger rush to his head.
Those brothers of hers grew up with her. Thinking of those men who were not related to her by blood but spent time with her, Gu Zheng felt frustrated.
Qiao Xi sighed.. “I thought you’d surely know the answer to that!”
