Chapter 47

　　It’s no wonder Tao Ruan was surprised.

　　Gu Xiao is easygoing, and Gu Zhizhou is handsome. Neither of them has the air of arrogance or spoiled brats that come from wealthy families. Gu Xiao is like an independent girl raised by an ordinary wealthy family, generous and approachable, while Gu Zhizhou seems to come from a traditional scholarly family, excelling in both character and academics, and outstanding in both looks and talent. He has also developed such a gentle and breezy temperament because of the influence of his family’s cultural heritage.

　　It turned out that the two people’s actual identities were far different from what she had imagined, and they were actually siblings.

　　No wonder Gu Xiao acted strangely when talking about Gu Zhizhou, and even used the excuse of being a distant relative to avoid the topic…

　　So she didn’t want others to know that she was Gu Zhizhou’s biological sister?

　　”But why?”

　　Tao Ruan really didn’t understand, so she asked.

　　The answer is simple: it’s because Gu Zhizhou has been too popular since he was a child.

　　When Gu Xiao and Gu Zhizhou were in the same junior high school, she did not hide the fact that she was Gu Zhizhou’s sister. As a result, a bunch of girls came to her and asked her to help deliver love letters and gifts to her brother, which annoyed Gu Xiao to no end.

　　Later, when she entered high school, Gu Xiao learned her lesson. She stopped spreading rumors about her relationship with Gu Zhizhou and only told one close friend about it. However, this friend inadvertently let it slip, which attracted another scheming woman to Gu Xiao’s side.

　　This scheming woman first tried to get close to Gu Xiao. After Gu Xiao accepted her and treated her as a friend, talking to her about everything, she suggested going to Gu Xiao’s house on the weekend. Nothing happened the first time, and she was relatively well-behaved the second time. The third time, she sneaked into Gu Zhizhou’s room and tried to seduce him.

　　Gu Zhizhou was so angry that he lost his temper on the spot.

　　The Gu family was also disturbed for several days by Gu Zhizhou’s outburst.

　　In the end, it was only after Gu’s mother took Gu Zhizhou to Tao Ruan’s city to see Tao Ruan that Gu Zhizhou calmed down again.

　　However, Gu Xiao was unaware of the subsequent developments, Tao Ruan was completely ignorant of it, and Gu Zhizhou had no intention of being honest with Tao Ruan at this time.

　　He only told Tao Ruan what he could say, letting her know the general reason.

　　”So it’s because you’re too popular that Xiaoxiao is afraid of trouble?” Tao Ruan understood a little.

　　Gu Zhizhou said, “Yes.”

　　Tao Ruan felt a pang of sadness welling up inside her, though she didn’t know why.

　　Why is Gu Zhizhou so popular? Why do so many young girls like him?

　　Gu Zhizhou ruffled her hair again, making a gesture as if to kiss her: “Is there anything else you want to ask, Ruanruan?”

　　Tao Ruan quickly stepped back and pressed two fingers against Gu Zhizhou’s lips.

　　”Ruan Ruan…” Gu Zhizhou called her, his voice sounding rather pitiful.

　　”You can’t kiss me…” Tao Ruan still held him down, preventing him from moving forward.

　　Gu Zhizhou asked, “Why?”

　　”You…” Tao Ruan bit her lip, her ears turning red again, “You kissed me there before…”

　　Gu Zhizhou raised one eyebrow: “Where?”

　　Tao Ruan’s watery eyes widened in surprise.

　　It’s right there, right in the anus… Why is Gu Zhizhou asking when he already knows the answer? She’s not going to tell him.

　　“Take your time reading,” Gu Zhizhou said with a smile, stepping aside instead of forcing her. “I’m going to the restroom first.”

　　Gu Zhizhou rinsed his mouth before returning and hugged Tao Ruan in his arms, even kissing her.

　　Tao Ruan wanted to refuse.

　　Although she could roughly understand why Gu Xiao concealed the fact that she was Gu Zhizhou’s sister, there were still many things about Gu Zhizhou that she didn’t understand.

　　But when those warm lips began to trace the outline of her lips, and then probed in to wrap around her tongue and suck, she was so overwhelmed with pleasure that she lost all sense of ecstasy.

　　Aside from passively accepting the kisses, she seemed to have no other reaction.

　　After the kiss, Gu Zhizhou gently caressed her lips and softly asked, “Don’t say ‘break up’ to me so easily anymore, okay?”

　　Tao Ruan: “I…”

　　Gu Zhizhou: “Is it okay?”

　　Tao Ruan was stunned by Gu Zhizhou’s kiss, and it took her a few squeezes of her fingers and a pinch of her palm to regain her senses.

　　She took a deep breath and said to Gu Zhizhou, “I still think we’re not a good match.”

　　Gu Zhizhou’s eyes darkened.

　　He gently stroked Tao Ruan’s cheek and continued to ask tenderly, “If there’s anything that doesn’t fit, I can change it.”

　　Tao Ruan was so coaxed that she became a little dizzy again.

　　Her thoughts wandered for a while before she finally blurted out, “First of all, it’s not suitable from a family perspective. Will your mother come to me with a check in the future, just like in the TV dramas, and say to me, ‘Here’s five million, leave my son immediately’?”

　　Gu Zhizhou was amused by her.

　　Tao Ruan said angrily, “You’re still laughing? I’m serious.”

　　”No,” Gu Zhizhou squeezed her palm, then kissed her forehead, and said to her, “My mother likes you very much.”

　　Tao Ruan: “She likes me a lot? How could she like me a lot?”

　　Tao Ruan felt that Gu Zhizhou was making fun of her.

　　Gu Zhizhou held her close and kissed her again: “It’s true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll have her come over to see you tomorrow.”

　　Tao Ruan was stunned on the spot.

　　What’s going on? Why are they meeting the parents so early?
