Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 452: The Little Brat

Gu Qingyun looked at her in shock, dumbfounded, "I have." The day he got into university, he drank once under the encouragement of his elders, but it was just a touch on the lips.

Since she asked, Gu Qingyun didn’t want to ruin her mood.

"It’s still early, how about we go have another drink?"

His earlier dejected words made Shen Jingrou think of someone, and she suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

"Sure." Gu Qingyun said with a hurried gasp.

Drinking held no attraction for him; he just wanted to stay by her side.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere." Shen Jingrou walked ahead in her white high heels with a graceful stride.

Gu Qingyun watched her alluring figure, momentarily lost, until someone accidentally bumped into him, bringing him back to reality.

The long street had parking spaces alongside the sidewalk.

Shen Jingrou’s car was parked right at the street corner, and as the two emerged from the alley, they arrived in front of the car. Shen Jingrou took out her car keys, opened the car door, and got into the driver’s seat, only to find him standing by the car door.

She hurriedly opened the passenger side door.

"Get in." Her tone was gentle and pleasant, her words echoing like a melodious call in a secluded valley, refreshing and delightful.

Gu Qingyun bent down and got into the car.

Across the street, a pair of sinister eyes stared in Gu Qingyun’s direction.

A few girls were holding cups of milk tea, chatting and laughing. Only Wu Yan, walking at the back, stopped smiling and even halted her steps when she saw Gu Qingyun come out of the alley with a woman.

Seeing with her own eyes that Gu Qingyun got into a luxury car made Wu Yan feel uneasy.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the woman was driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. She knew this because a guy she dated before liked to talk about cars, and gradually she learned about this type of car.

The value of this car was beyond reach for a girl like Wu Yan, who came from the mountains.

She never expected that Gu Qingyun could actually get involved with such a wealthy woman.

Why?

The car had already disappeared, and Wu Yan looked at the dark road, her regret magnified at this moment.

***

"Qin Land Club".

The bar’s main hall.

Shen Jingrou and Gu Qingyun found a relatively quiet spot where they could see scantily dressed women dancing on stage.

The men present stared at the stage without blinking, afraid to miss anything, their greed blatantly apparent in their eyes.

Since entering this building, Gu Qingyun’s heart had slowly sunk like a stone dropped into the sea; everything he saw here seemed like another world to him.

He was used to seeing muddy pathways, barren mountains, endless farm work since he was a child...

But now, the sight before him was of a grand hall with misty lights softened by tender glows, and people were releasing their stress with joyful laughter.

At this moment, an attendant placed two drinks on their table, "Miss Shen, please enjoy!"

"Thank you."

The attendant left after placing down the drinks.

Gu Qingyun suppressed the turmoil in his heart. When the attendant had looked at Shen Jingrou with respect, it made Gu Qingyun fully realize the disparity between people.

The distance between him and Shen Jingrou was like sky and earth apart!

Shen Jingrou watched the people dancing in the center, picked up a drink, and took a sip.

Gu Qingyun noticed her furrowed brows and asked nervously, "Sister Jingrou, do you have something on your mind?"

Shen Jingrou’s grip on the glass trembled slightly, almost spilling the drink, but her quick reflexes saved it.

Gu Qingyun, seeing her reaction, hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, I was being too bold."

It was impolite to pry into others’ personal affairs, especially since they probably weren’t even friends.

"I’m not blaming you." Shen Jingrou’s clear eyes looked at him, "We don’t need to be so distant with each other."

"Okay."

Her words brought a hint of joy to Gu Qingyun’s heart.

At that moment, Shen Jingrou looked into the distance, her gaze wandering, "I do have things on my mind, not just one..."

Her final words trailed off, sounding like a murmur or deep contemplation.

"Sister Jingrou, if something’s bothering you, you can talk to me. Though I may not be able to help, sometimes speaking your troubles makes it easier." Gu Qingyun sincerely suggested.

Shen Jingrou, seeing his genuine eyes, felt half of her frustration dissipate. There were things the young man in front of her probably couldn’t understand. She lowered her eyes slightly and suddenly changed the topic, "Have you got a girlfriend?"

"Wha-what did you say?" Gu Qingyun looked at her incredulously. Hadn’t he just broken up not long ago?

Shen Jingrou observed his stunned expression, her lips curling slightly, "I see you’ve been single for quite a while."

Gu Qingyun frowned and denied, "I don’t have a girlfriend now."

"Why, can’t let go of your past love?" Shen Jingrou suddenly showed interest, taking a few more sips from her glass.

"Of course not." Gu Qingyun stated firmly, "Between my ex-girlfriend and me, it was mostly friendship."

"If your ex-girlfriend heard that, she’d probably be furious." Shen Jingrou couldn’t help but find his viewpoint both amusing and exasperating.

Gu Qingyun didn’t want to elaborate further. Between him and Wu Yan, it had started merely out of mutual admiration owing to their academic excellence.

This relationship only went so far as hand-holding at most, and he didn’t have the courage to share this with Shen Jingrou.

The bar’s music had a quick rhythm, resonating through the entire hall, awakening everyone’s long-dormant senses, the flickering colored lights casting dazzling shadows, adding a mysterious ambiance to the bar.

Gu Qingyun cautiously picked up his drink, placed it to his lips, and, with a nervous heart, took a sip, realizing she had only ordered a fruit cocktail for him.

Shen Jingrou saw his nervous demeanor and laughed, "You’re still a student. I can’t really let you drink alcohol, can I?"

Gu Qingyun awkwardly avoided her gaze, feeling dazed, "It’s fine if I have a little alcohol."

"You little brat, don’t mess around with big sis, drink your fruit juice." With the influence of alcohol, Shen Jingrou’s cheeks were rosy, and her words became bolder.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyun’s body stiffened.

He actually wanted to prove that he wasn’t a child anymore, but in Shen Jingrou’s eyes, he was like a little brother. Her manner showed sisterly care, which was evident in her words, something he was eager to change.

However, he was powerless, even the feelings stirring within him, he didn’t have the courage to acknowledge.

The person in front of him was like the sun in the sky, dazzling and brilliant.
