Gu Jue changed into Su Jing’s pajamas and walked out of the guest room. He was a little awkward.

The red silk nightgown looked tight and short on Gu Jue. Su Jing couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Actually, she had loose and more fitting pajamas for Gu Jue, but she wanted to see how Gu Jue would look in a dress, so she chose this one on purpose.

“Don’t laugh at me.” Gu Jue frowned and protested.

Su Jing tried her best to keep her mouth shut and nodded in agreement, but a moment later, she couldn’t help but burst out in laughter, “Hahaha! You look so cute like this.”

Gu Jue stepped forward and grabbed her hand, forcing her to a corner. His other hand supported the wall and trapped her between his arms.

His gaze was dangerous and charming, “Jingjing, you’ll have to pay the price for making fun of me.”

Su Jing looked at him, and her face flushed red. She was certain that this guy had other intentions toward her!

“Sorry, Little Jue, I was wrong. Let go of Sister’s hand.”

Su Jing immediately begged for mercy and tried to remind Gu Jue by changing how she addressed him.

“No, I don’t want to be your little brother. I want to be…”

Before Gu Jue could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

“Ring, Ring, Ring!”

The person outside the door did not stop until someone would open the door.

Gu Jue’s brows were filled with annoyance, “I’ll go open the door.”

Su Jing heaved a sigh of relief when Gu Jue let go of her, but at the same time, she felt a sense of disappointment. If it weren’t for the sound of the doorbell, Gu Jue might have already kissed her.

Just as Su Jing was lost in her thoughts, Gu Jue opened the door to the apartment. Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman with similar features to Su Jing.

The woman frowned and looked into the house. She then stepped back to look at the house number.

After confirming that this was Su Jing’s apartment, she asked with a dark expression, “Where’s Su Jing?”

Su Jing heard someone calling her and walked over. She realized it was her host’s mother, Li Xiu, “Mom? Why are you here?”

Li Xiu rolled her eyes at Su Jing and looked at Gu Jue, “Hmph, if I hadn’t come, I might very well become a grandmother in a few months.”

After being called out, Su Jing and Gu Jue finally realized how misleading their current situation was. Gu Jue was still wearing Su Jing’s silk nightgown!

“Mom, let me explain!”

Su Jing quickly took off her jacket and handed it to Gu Jue, trying to get him to cover himself up.

“Don’t try to deny it. He’s wearing your nightgown. You always said that you only loved Qin Feng, but I see that you’re quite wild in private!”

Li Xiu looked disgusted. She mistook Gu Jue for a male escort.

“Auntie, I’m not a male escort.” Gu Jue smiled innocently as he explained his identity.

“Who you are has nothing to do with me. Be careful when you enter and leave Jingjing’s residence. Don’t let Young Master Qin discover your existence.”

Li Xiu walked straight in and closed the door, afraid others would see them like this.

Su Jing was shocked by Li Xiu’s reaction. She actually didn’t scold her?

After Li Xiu entered the room, he kept sizing up Gu Jue, “Is this why you ran away at today’s birthday party and didn’t announce your engagement to Young Master Qin?”

Without waiting for Su Jing’s response, Li Xiu turned his gaze to Su Jing and said, “He does look good, but I have to remind you that he can’t compare to Young Master Qin. You can fool around with him, but if you are serious about him, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter and cutting off all your credit cards!”

Cutting her off? Wouldn’t that mean she wouldn’t be a rich girl from a rich family?

Su Jing quickly held onto Li Xiu’s hand affectionately and said coquettishly, “Mom, you’ve misunderstood. We don’t have that kind of relationship.”

The light in Gu Jue’s eyes dimmed.

Li Xiu looked at her from the corner of her eyes. His gaze finally softened, “That better be true. You’re the daughter of the Su family. Only someone at Young Master Qin’s level is worthy of you. Do you understand?”

“A person like Qin Feng is not worthy of Jingjing.” Gu Jue stood behind Li Xiu and spoke defiantly like a child.

Su Jing was immediately alarmed. Why did Gu Jue interrupt at this time?

Did he understand that if the two wanted to continue living, it would all depend on this woman in front of them?

The original Su Jing didn’t have any money of her own..
