Chapter: 3109
Gu Qiuyi heard her mother’s voice outside the door and quickly called out, “Mom, I’m just taking off my makeup and changing clothes. Are you okay?”
“Mom is fine!” Lin Wanqiu replied cheerfully.
“Duo Duo, can you please open the door for my mom?” Gu Qiuyi asked.
“Sure!” Chen Duoduo responded, rushing to open the door.
When the door swung open, Lin Wanqiu smiled at Chen Duoduo and said, “Duoduo, you’ve really worked hard this time.”
Chen Duoduo waved her hand and replied, “Aunt Lin, it’s my job. It’s not hard at all!”
Then she looked surprised and said, “Aunt Lin, you look so much younger today! Can you share your beauty secret? I feel like if I don’t start taking care of myself, I might look older than you in a couple of years…”
Lin Wanqiu smiled back and said, “I have some great skincare products that really work. I’ve been using them for a while. When I go back to Yanjing, I’ll make sure to get you a set, or you can come over to pick them up.”
Lin Wanqiu knew she couldn’t tell Chen Duoduo about the Huichun Pill. Even if she wanted to share, it would be difficult for Chen Duoduo to get it, and it might cause trouble for Charlie Wade. So, she decided to stick with the skincare products instead.
Chen Duoduo had a close relationship with Gu Qiuyi and knew Lin Wanqiu well. She smiled and said, “Thank you in advance, Aunt Lin!”
Lin Wanqiu laughed and replied, “No need to be polite! I’ll make sure to send you skincare products regularly through the driver.”
“Really?” Chen Duoduo felt flattered and said sincerely, “That’s so generous of you!”
“Don’t worry about it, Aunt Lin. I can buy it myself later if you want,” Chen Duoduo said with some hesitation.
Lin Wanqiu smiled and replied, “Is that how you see me? This is already decided. If you refuse, it feels like you’re treating your aunt like a stranger.”
Hearing this, Chen Duoduo nodded and said, “Thank you, Aunt Lin. I’ll accept it then!”
Lin Wanqiu nodded back and turned to Gu Qiuyi. “Nanny, your dad and I are heading to the airport. He thinks you’ve worked too hard today. I suggest you take it easy tonight at the hotel and rest. Don’t push yourself too much. Come with us later.”
“Absolutely not!” Gu Qiuyi quickly replied. “I’m going to take off my makeup and go home with you. I’m not tired at all and I don’t need much rest. Besides, what’s the point of staying one more night? I’d rather go home and sleep well.”
Lin Wanqiu gently touched Gu Qiuyi’s face and asked, “After your heartfelt confession at the concert today, don’t you want to see Chen’er’s reaction in person? Stay one more night, and maybe tomorrow you can meet him.”
“No way!” Gu Qiuyi said with a smile. “After making such a big announcement, I can’t just show up without letting Brother Charlie know beforehand. I might scare him, so it’s best if I head home first. See you later!”
Lin Wanqiu shook her head, smiling helplessly. “You brave girl! You dare to make such a big move but are scared to face Chen’er afterward?”
Gu Qiuyi replied earnestly, “Oh mom, you know I’m shy. I’ve been nervous about this for days, and I’m still sweating. The last thing I want is to…”
“To see Brother Charlie, I’ll head home to get out of the wind,” Gu Qiuyi said.
Lin Wanqiu smiled, shaking her head. “This kid… Well, let’s quickly take off your makeup and change into something comfy. I’ll talk to your dad, and we can wait for you.”
“Thank you, Mom!” Gu Qiuyi beamed and gave Lin Wanqiu a kiss on the cheek.
