Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 518 As if facing a formidable enemy

The second sister's wedding requires two flower girls, and she prefers Wu Tianping's son and his daughter.

Gu Youlian was shocked when she heard this, "Zhangzhu? Zhangzhu can't even walk yet!"

Gu Juncheng was displeased. "Who said we can't walk?"

Gu Youlian: ? ? ?

Gu Youlian's brows furrowed deeply. "You've been here for the past few days, and I've never seen her walk by! Haven't you been carrying her the whole time?"

Gu Youlian frowned as she looked at Zhangzhu sitting on her younger brother's lap. When had her younger brother ever put Zhangzhu down?

Gu Juncheng frowned deeply. "Walking on it like that is so dirty!"

"No..." Gu Youlian was stunned. "You can't possibly carry her forever, can you? Your precious daughter has to walk eventually! Doesn't she ever get her feet dirty?"

Gu Juncheng replied with an indifferent expression, "We'll see."

Zhangzhu is only a little over a year old, and Lin Qingping is actually a little worried. "Isn't she too young? She's not very steady on her feet and doesn't listen to instructions. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble at the wedding."

This displeased Gu Juncheng again. "Our daughter is so smart and capable, how could she possibly cause trouble?"

Lin Qingping: ...Fine, do whatever you want!

So, because her father was provoked, Xiao Zhangzhu had no choice but to take on the responsibility of being a flower girl at a young age.

Later, when Lin Qingping met with Mei Li, she brought up the matter again and complained about Gu Juncheng.

Mei Li glanced at Gu Juncheng and Wu Tianping talking downstairs and said with a smile, "What trouble could possibly happen? Zhangzhu is so beautiful and cute, she'll be a sight to behold at the wedding. Don't worry. Besides, we still have our Rui Rui. Let him take care of his sister. Wait, I'll go call him over. All he does is play around."

Mei Li grabbed Wu Ruiheng and said to him, "You haven't seen your sister yet, so remember to take her out to play and hold her hand wherever you go, okay?"

Wu Ruiheng is now a little man in the senior class of kindergarten. He was playing a fighting game with a group of boys in the yard when he suddenly saw a cute little girl. He lowered his voice and walked softly, saying, "Little sister, let me hold your hand and let you play."

He stretched out his hands, which he had just washed.

"He was covered in dirt and mud. I washed him before I brought him up and changed his clothes. Otherwise, he really couldn't play with his clean little sister!" Mei Li said, her head aching.

Zhangzhu is actually a little chatterbox. She gets along well with everyone on the island. When the older boy wanted to play with her, she was so happy that she put her little hand in his and called out in her baby voice, "Brother."

She was very familiar with the word "brother," as she had an older brother at home, and she called out "brother, brother" all day long.

"Hehe..." Wu Ruiheng was quite embarrassed by being called "brother." He had never had such a small and beautiful little sister call him "brother" before! Looking at it this way, it made sense that his mother told him to wash his hands and change his clothes before coming. His little sister was so clean and fair-skinned!

Mei Li then taught him, "On the day Uncle Yun and Aunt Lin get married, you should also take care of your little sister like this and teach her how to take the next step, understand?"

Wu Ruiheng nodded. "Okay! Little sister, what's your name?"

"Zhuzhu." Zhangzhu can understand speech, and she is quite adept at this kind of conversation.

"That sounds so nice, is it the 'pearl' in 'little pearl'?" Wu Ruiheng had seen his mother's pearl necklace and thought that his little sister, who was so fair-skinned, really looked like a pearl.

The girl in the palm of her hand didn't know what pearls were, but she understood that it was a compliment, so she nodded haphazardly.

"Then I'll take you to play!" Wu Ruiheng immediately took on the role of the older brother.

I have to say, he's a really responsible older brother!

Wu Ruiheng held Zhangzhu's hand and walked slowly, matching her small steps. He was completely different from how he had been running around wildly in the yard just now.

However, he didn't even make it to the door.

Because his father and Gu Juncheng came in.

When Gu Juncheng saw that the brat was actually holding his precious daughter's hand, he immediately strode forward and picked her up in his arms.

The whole place was on high alert...

Wu Tianping laughed. "No, Comrade Gu, my son isn't some monster. What's with your reaction?"

Gu Juncheng ignored him and only said to Lin Qingping, "We've bothered them for too long, we should go back."

Wu Tianping found it even funnier, "No way, it can't be like this, can it? We should eat before going back, right?"

Regarding the meal, Lin Qingping said, "I'm really not going to eat. My sister's wedding is coming up, and I'm busy with all sorts of things these days."

Mei Li understood and didn't force her. Of course, she completely ignored the childish competition between the two men, and simply got up, took her son's hand, and saw Lin Qingping's family off.

The two of them, along with Wu Ruiheng, walked ahead, while Gu Juncheng, holding Zhangzhu, and Wu Tianping were still bickering behind.

"Old Gu, you don't actually like me anymore, do you?"

Why should I find you pleasing to the eye?

Wu Tianping burst out laughing, "The faults of parents cannot be overlooked!"

Gu Juncheng sneered, "It's just that their parents are full of bad intentions!"

"How could I be full of bad intentions? You were the one who agreed to the betrothal when we were children!" Wu Tianping said, looking wronged.

"When did I agree to that? I didn't agree! This is a new era, why arrange marriages between children!"

"Comrade Gu..."

"Stop shouting, it won't do any good even if you shout until your throat is hoarse!"

Wu Tianping:......

Looking at his son who only knew how to play in the mud, Wu Tianping began to worry. He wondered if his silly son would still only know how to play in the mud and dig "trenches" when he grew up. Son! It seems that I can't help you now. You'd better work hard when you grow up!

Mei Li vaguely overheard some of their conversation and couldn't help but laugh with Lin Qingping, "Your old Gu is really something, isn't he? From now on, no boy will be able to get within three meters of Zhangzhu. He'll find every boy displeasing, won't he?"

"Don't even mention it!" Lin Qingping felt ashamed just talking about it. How old was the child? He didn't know anything!

The family returned home, and dinner was eaten with the second sister and Yunqi. The flower girl outfit for the little pearl had been delivered, and the second sister brought it over—a tutu, rhinestone-studded shoes, and a small crown.

Goodness, this is exactly what my daughter loves! As soon as she saw it when we got home, she immediately reached out her little hands and feet to wear it.

Fortunately, the flower girl's role had already been decided, otherwise, just for this outfit, the little one would have no choice but to wear it—she loves these exaggerated, ethereal dresses and all sorts of sparkly accessories.

After trying it on, I had to plead and beg—I told her I was going to wear this outfit to my second aunt's wedding—before Zhangzhu agreed to change out of it. Otherwise, she would have been sleeping in it...

After persuading Zhangzhu, Lin Qingping felt a headache again and her vision blurred.

She handed the pearl to Gu Juncheng and said she was going to take a shower. However, as soon as she turned on the water in the bathroom, everything went black and she fainted.

When I woke up, I was soaking wet, and the hot water in the shower was still running.

She figured she hadn't been unconscious for long, otherwise Gu Juncheng would have come looking for her.

She quickly took a shower, feeling a heavy weight in her head, as if her neck couldn't bear the strain.

Gu Juncheng was playing with Zhangzhu downstairs, humming a song softly. Zhangzhu looked like she was about to fall asleep.

Lin Qingping didn't say anything, but made a gesture to Gu Juncheng—she was going to sleep first.

Gu Juncheng hummed a song and nodded.

Walking from the stairwell into the room was a difficult journey for her—she felt dizzy, the ceiling seemed to be spinning, and she felt nauseous. Even after lying down, the dizziness persisted. However, as she gradually drifted off to sleep, she lost consciousness of everything.

The next day, she was woken up by a soft little hand patting her, and her breath was filled with the sweet scent of milk.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the rosy little face in front of her and felt a mix of sadness and joy.

She knew she might be in trouble, but her second sister's wedding was just around the corner, so she decided to wait until after the wedding to deal with it.

"Mom," Zhangzhu called to her, her chubby little finger pointing outside the room, "Baobao, eat."

I'm calling her down for breakfast!

"Okay, Mom will get up." After a nap, she seems to have recovered.
