Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Do I Need to Pretend I Don’t Know You?

Tang Yuxiu took the menu, "Have you ordered yet?"

Gu Xiaonian shook her head, "We were waiting for handsome brother to come before ordering."

"Then you guys order first."

"No need, there are two menus, you order yours. The kids are a bit picky, let them take their time."

"Mommy, we’re not picky."

Gu Yan glared at the two, "Disliking my cooking is the pickiest thing you can do."

The Two Treasures decisively said, "Then we are really very picky."

Gu Xiaonian picked up the other menu on the table and huddled together with Gu Xiaobao to study it.

Gu Yan, "..." was inwardly really sad.

Fortunately, Tang Yuxiu was very considerate and moved his menu a little towards her, "What do you want to eat?"

Gu Yan was a bit slow to react, "Huh? I’ll have whatever, whatever you order I’ll eat too."

Tang Yuxiu nodded and continued looking at the menu to order.

If her tastes hadn’t changed in the past five years, the dishes he ordered for her should suit her.

After ordering, the two adults and two kids started chatting casually.

This little rascal, Gu Xiaonian, started revealing one embarrassing story after another from the past five years, Gu Yan’s hands on her lap clenched tightly, maintaining a slightly stiff and restrained smile.

If it weren’t for Tang Yuxiu’s presence, she would definitely have covered Gu Xiaonian’s mouth; the girl just wouldn’t stop talking.

Even worse, Tang Yuxiu seemed to be listening intently...

Gu Yan just wanted to find a hole to crawl into, it was too embarrassing.

"Handsome brother, let me also tell you, there was a time mommy went out to have fun by herself, got lost on her way back, and someone snatched her wallet and phone. It took our uncle gathering a lot of people to find her."

"Yeah, yeah, sigh, what did uncle say at the time? Someone who’s already a mother can actually get lost when going out to have fun!"

Tang Yuxiu listened quietly, seemingly able to imagine Yan Shuo and Gu Yan’s expressions at the time.

Yan Shuo must have been helpless but unable to scold her, Gu Yan must have felt super embarrassed, it was very awkward.

Gu Yan gritted her teeth and spoke, "Gu Xiaonian, Gu Xiaobao, have you said enough yet!"

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian answered directly, "No."

Gu Yan angrily said, "Say another word and I’ll make you eat my cooking for a week."

Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian immediately gave in, "Mommy, we’re sorry, we won’t say anymore! You tell your embarrassing stories!"

Gu Yan simply couldn’t bear to look straight at them.

Tang Yuxiu maintained a faint smile throughout.

The dishes they ordered arrived, and the two little rabbits began to eat quickly.

Gu Yan looked at the dishes that were served, and besides what the kids ordered, everything else was what she liked.

She was slightly stunned and glanced at Tang Yuxiu.

"I didn’t know what you liked, so I just ordered some things, all things I love." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Long ago, his taste had aligned with Gu Yan’s.

What she liked to eat, he liked too.

During these five years, it hadn’t changed, he never got tired of it.

Eating what she liked seemed to bring him closer to her soul, a bit closer.

"Uh, are these really what you like?"

She was overthinking...

"Yeah." Tang Yuxiu pushed the plate in front of her, "Eat."

"Okay." Gu Yan responded, lowered her head, and started eating.

The meal was eaten, apart from the two little rabbits eating happily, the other two ate in silence.

After finishing the meal, Gu Yan said to Tang Yuxiu, "Sorry to trouble you to take care of these two."

"No need to be polite. Where are you heading, I’ll take you."

"No need, someone will pick me up. You take them to play." Gu Yan checked the time and said, "They should be here soon, you guys go ahead, don’t waste time."

Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao each held one of Tang Yuxiu’s hands, "Handsome brother, we’re leaving now, Gu Xiaoyan has to work."

Tang Yuxiu looked at the two little rabbits and nodded, "Okay."

He looked at Gu Yan, "We’ll go first, if ever something comes up, contact me anytime."

"Alright, thank you."

Tang Yuxiu said no more.

He really disliked hearing Gu Yan say words like that.

Gu Yan watched them get into the car. Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaonian stuck their heads out of the windows to wave at her, "Mommy, if you have time after work, come find us and hang out."

"Sure, definitely."

"Goodbye, Mommy."

"Goodbye." Gu Yan waved at them, glanced at Tang Yuxiu, and smiled slightly.

Tang Yuxiu started the car and left, Gu Yan stood at the restaurant entrance waiting for someone from the company to pick her up.

Actually, she wasn’t very clear about the partner they were about to work with. Anyway, the studio took the job, seeing that the company was in Jiang City, she immediately claimed she’d go personally.

This way, just in case Yan Shuo didn’t agree for her to go, she could use work as an excuse to argue back.

Her assistant had been liaising with the other company and relaying it to her.

"Gu Yan, what a coincidence meeting you again."

A sharp female voice pierced her ears, and it was very familiar.

Gu Yan turned her head and saw a woman with exquisite makeup walking towards her, the ten-inch high heels she was wearing made a particularly loud sound on the ground.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel sorry for the woman’s uncomfortable feet.

She herself never wore such high heels, they were too hard to walk in. Even if there were events to attend, she’d wear a maximum of six inches.

"Why is it you again."

Last night in the restaurant restroom, she ran into this woman and was stalled by her, delaying her return. Fortunately, Gu Xiaonian and Gu Xiaobao were nearly taken away.

Just seeing her made her angry.

Fortunately, she met Tang Yuxiu, who saved her children.

"Gu Yan, disappearing for five years and coming back, you’ve really made something of yourself huh, looking down on people, pretending not to know me?"

"Who on earth are you? Do I need to pretend not to know you? Should I know you?"

This person just wouldn’t stop, she had said so many times yesterday, she didn’t know her, yet the woman clung to her, she really thought too highly of herself.

The person must be crazy.

"Gu Yan, you truly are a thankless creature, you made it on your own, climbed the social ladder, and now you don’t even recognize your cousin. If our uncle finds out, he’d surely be heartbroken."

"I don’t understand what you’re saying."

Gu Qin crossed her arms, looking at her sarcastically, eyeing her up and down.

The clothes she wore were from low-key yet luxurious brands, ones Gu Qin could only ever envy in her lifetime.

One set last night, another today, she changed into different ones every day. Gu Qin was very unwilling, why could Gu Yan have such things!

"Gu Yan, you’re so heartless. If it weren’t for my uncle taking you in back then, could you have what you have now? And now you’re pretending not to know me, truly a little bitch."

Gu Yan suddenly turned her eyes coldly at her, "If you can’t control your mouth and bark everywhere, then just don’t come out and make a fool of yourself!"
