Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1224: Such a Chance Encounter

However, Lady Yu did not touch the surrounding flowers and plants, as many of them had been there since she married into the Imperial Capital.

Unlike that patch of green grass.

After all, it also carried memories of her youth.

Some things, when lost, are simply lost, but some things must not be discarded.

At this moment, green cucumbers, purple eggplants, and red tomatoes were hidden beneath the oily green leaves, looking especially enticing.

Moreover, it gave a particular sense of accomplishment.

...

The Sunday mall was bustling with people, though it was mostly filled with girls.

Even if there were boys, they were accompanying their girlfriends or wives to shop.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t have much to buy initially, but as she walked through the mall, there seemed to be quite a few things she wanted to buy.

In this regard, Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen’s personalities differed greatly. Gu Qiaoqiao’s style was to only look at the categories she was interested in and ignore everything else.

Xiao Wen was different; even things she didn’t intend to buy, she would linger over, unable to leave—not because she was reluctant to buy them, but simply because Xiao Wen enjoyed the atmosphere.

Many girls are like this, there’s really no help for it.

While in the first-floor lobby, they seemingly coincidentally ran into Luo Fan. Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t seen Luo Fan for quite a while.

The main reason was that both of them were extremely busy.

However, running into Luo Fan at such a mall seemed a bit too coincidental.

Gu Qiaoqiao cast a sidelong glance at her silly younger sister.

Gu Qianqian greeted Luo Fan with a charming smile, "Brother Luo Fan, what a coincidence, are you shopping too?"

Gu Qiaoqiao tightened her red lips but still couldn’t help but carefully observe Gu Qianqian’s expression.

Qianqian was seventeen this year, and she would turn eighteen next year.

By this time next year, the college entrance exams would have long been over.

She would soon be a university student.

But no matter what, that’s something a year from now.

But the strange sparkle in Qianqian’s eyes still gave Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart a slight pause.

However, she also felt helpless.

Her sister was clever and astute; just because she didn’t speak about something didn’t mean she was unaware or didn’t understand.

And wasn’t it true that at her sister’s age, Gu Qiaoqiao had also fallen for Qin Yize at first sight?

So, at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao really had no ground or stance to critique her sister. She couldn’t very well reveal her true experiences to her, could she?

But even if she did, what difference would it make? She and Qin Yize were still happily together, weren’t they?

Moreover, after observing for such a long time, Luo Fan indeed seemed like someone worth entrusting one’s life to, and she hoped the two of them would be happily together.

The expression in Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes, after a series of struggles and thoughts, finally turned into acceptance, and Luo Fan could see it all.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, clearly facing a girl younger than himself, yet every time he faced her, he felt a lot of pressure.

He looked at the group, checked his watch while smiling, and said, "Just in time, I’m free for lunch, let me treat you all to a meal."

"Sure, sure, Brother Luo Fan," Qin Xiaoyu quickly chimed in happily.

Because the places Luo Fan took them to were not only very unique but the food there was also delicious.

She naturally knew that Luo Fan had a bit of a crush on Qianqian, but she thought the two were well-matched and was happy to see things progress.

Xiao Wen glanced at Luo Fan and Gu Qianqian, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.

No need to doubt, Luo Fan was indeed a very nice person. It had to be said, the Gu Family sisters were quite lucky. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The men they encountered were all outstanding individuals.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Wen, "Sister Xiao Wen, are you going to continue shopping or join us for lunch with Luo Fan?"

Xiao Wen found Gu Qiaoqiao somewhat amusing, thinking that she was overly concerned about her younger sister, but luckily it didn’t show on her face, or perhaps she had come to understand.

Gu Qianqian was already seventeen this year, not a child anymore, so Xiao Wen joked with a smile, "Well, that depends on you. If you go, I’ll go; if you don’t go, the two of us will keep shopping."

Keep shopping?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at the three paper bags in her hand, then looked at what Xiao Wen was holding, thinking maybe that wasn’t the best idea, who knows how much more they’d buy if they kept going.

There were so many beautiful things, but it wasn’t possible to move everything she liked back home, was it?

So, fearing that Xiao Wen might change her mind, she quickly said, "Then let’s have lunch with Luo Fan, besides, we haven’t been together for a long time, it would be nice to chat."

Luo Fan heard Gu Qiaoqiao’s words and silently let out a breath of relief.

He casually took the paper bags from Gu Qianqian’s hand.

Gu Qianqian seemingly did not notice, or maybe she was used to it, and handed the bags to Luo Fan naturally.

Then Luo Fan led the group out of the mall entrance, where his car was parked.

If it were his former car, there would have been no room for one person, but today Luo Fan surprisingly drove a stretch sedan.

The car looked very unusual, seldom seen in the Imperial Capital. The back had two rows of seats, so everyone fit in easily. Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Luo Fan and suddenly, quite meaningfully, asked, "Luo Fan, what do you plan to do with a car like this?"

She was secretly pondering how it seemed that Luo Fan had come prepared.

This guy’s got tricks.

Luo Fan smiled, seemingly unaware of Gu Qiaoqiao’s implied meaning, and replied warmly, "This is a new car, just picked it up today. I wanted to test out its performance."

Gu Qiaoqiao slightly pursed her lips while Xiao Wen unceremoniously chuckled.

Knowingly, she said, "Luo Fan, so we are quite honored then, aren’t we?"

Qin Xiaoyu patted the car seat, excitedly saying to the side of Gu Qianqian, "Qianqian, now I understand why this car is so new inside, it turns out to be a new car, that’s great, we’re the first batch to ride in it."

Gu Qianqian smiled with her lips pressed and nodded with a "Mm," looking around curiously.

Gu Qiaoqiao smacked the seat in front, "Luo Fan, let’s go."

Luo Fan was just about to start the car but paused and turned to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Is that Chu Chengfeng and Shang Qing over there?"

Huh?

Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.

She then leaned forward to look, and lo and behold, it really was the two of them.

Initially walking quickly, when they saw the car doors were about to close, they transitioned to a jog.

Luo Fan opened the car door, smiling at the two of them, "Why the rush, huffing and puffing?"

"You guys were quick; if we were a bit later, we’d never catch up," Shang Qing reproached, holding onto the car door.

Chu Chengfeng, however, was composed. He circled the car once before casually opening the door and sitting inside. Shang Qing, naturally not one to stand on ceremony, also boarded and sat next to Gu Qiaoqiao.

In no time, the car was filled with people.
