Chapter 1090: Chapter 87:

Seeing there were no outsiders, Go Biqing apologized profusely, "I’m really sorry, I didn’t know today was your birthday, and I didn’t prepare a gift. I’ll make it up to you next time."

Murong Qing, however, didn’t mind at all and said, "It’s alright, your presence is the best gift. It would be even better if those irrelevant people weren’t here."

As she spoke, Murong Qing glanced at Bai Weiran, who knew Murong Qing was definitely including herself among the irrelevant people. But since Murong Qing didn’t say it explicitly, Bai Weiran couldn’t express anything.

"You’re right, Brother Qing, honestly, why didn’t you prepare a gift? I think the pacifier Yulong uses is very suitable, why not consider it as a gift? Haven’t you noticed how much Murong Qing likes Yulong?" Bai Weiran said in a coquettish voice.

Go Biqing felt a headache coming on as he realized the two were about to get into it again. Bai Weiran’s words seemed even sharper than before, but there was nothing Go Biqing could say. After all, this person wasn’t really his girlfriend; what could he say?

But Murong Qing immediately beamed with delight and said, "Alright, Go Biqing, give me that pacifier. Yulong is so adorable, I’ll consider him my godbrother. This will be a gift from my little brother. Bai Weiran, why don’t you become Yulong’s godmother as well, that way you can be a generation older than me."

Go Biqing almost choked on his saliva upon hearing Murong Qing’s words. Her counterattack was indeed sharp. It was a jab at Bai Weiran’s mature appearance, suggesting she didn’t look like she was in her early twenties. And if Bai Weiran agreed to be Yulong’s godmother, Go Biqing, being Yulong’s brother, would technically become a generation junior, complicating their relationship even further.

Bai Weiran’s expression changed, and a flash of sharpness appeared in her eyes as she said, "Forget it, this is boring. Brother Qing, let’s go, there’s nothing interesting here. Why don’t we go see a movie? We’ll get a couple’s suite, and I want you to hold me while we watch. Later tonight, come over to my place to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Go Biqing was truly overwhelmed. If these two continued their spat, they might be fine, but he’d lose his mind first.

"Alright, if you like the pacifier, I’ll give it to you. Weiran, say no more, I can’t just casually sleep at your place. We’ve only started seeing each other a few days. Murong Qing, you should tend to your guests. Don’t worry about me, I can feed him by myself," Go Biqing immediately tried to mediate both sides.

Yet Bai Weiran let out a cold laugh. It was obvious that Go Biqing’s hasty clarification of the slow progress in their relationship was to reassure Murong Qing. Bai Weiran realized that deep down, Go Biqing still held a shadow of Murong Qing in his heart.

This time, it seemed Murong Qing had a slight advantage, so she wasn’t disappointed. She took the pacifier, carefully placed it in her pocket, and left. She didn’t want to continue the conversation and wanted to maintain a good impression in Go Biqing’s mind.

Go Biqing had seen from Murong Qing’s actions that she still wasn’t quite over him. Otherwise, there would’ve been no reason for such a prolonged battle with Bai Weiran. Apart from feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Go Biqing couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit pleased, wondering if it was because Murong Qing still couldn’t forget him, which made him a little happy.

After feeding Gao Yulong, Go Biqing came out and saw Murong Qing and Bai Weiran seemingly chatting again. Seeing them together worried Go Biqing that they might start bickering again, so he hurried over. To his surprise, he found them discussing the latest fashion trends with such enthusiasm and camaraderie that anyone who didn’t know better might think they were best friends. Go Biqing was at a loss for words, knowing both of them were far from easy to deal with.

Just then, Ye KeWei came over to Go Biqing and said, "Go Biqing, can we talk privately?"

Go Biqing nodded, then followed Ye KeWei into a separate room and sat down. Ye KeWei began, "I’ve heard Qingqing mention you several times. I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time. I heard your family went through a crisis, but from my perspective, your mental state seems quite good. I’ve also noticed your psychological resilience is impressive; most people wouldn’t recover from such a blow so quickly."

Go Biqing never expected Ye KeWei to start off like this. Although he directly referenced Go Biqing’s sad past, his tone was sincere and not at all deliberate, which unexpectedly made Go Biqing feel a slight warmth, perhaps just from being complimented.

However, Go Biqing didn’t let this show on his face and simply replied, "Well, maybe it’s just that I’m a bit thick-skinned."

Ye KeWei smiled gently and continued, "I don’t want to beat around the bush today. I’ll be honest. Qingqing likes you, and she’s liked you for a long time. She still can’t let you go."

This left Go Biqing truly stunned. What did Ye KeWei mean by this? Go Biqing couldn’t figure out if he was here to vent or if he wanted him to stay away from Murong Qing.

Seeing Go Biqing’s perplexed expression, Ye KeWei chuckled bitterly, "Sometimes people can be foolish, can’t they? You must be wondering how I know all this. You should’ve noticed today; I’ve actually been pursuing Qingqing for a long time, but she’s never accepted me. I know she doesn’t dislike me, yet three years ago, when she started university, things were relatively okay at first. Although she didn’t agree to be with me, she never refused me. Every time I asked her out, if she was free, she’d always come. But about a semester in, Qingqing suddenly said she joined the student council and might be too busy to go out. I didn’t think much of it, but gradually I noticed she’d changed. She often talked to me about student council activities, and you were the person she mentioned the most. As she went out less and less, I knew she must’ve developed feelings for you."

Seeing Ye KeWei continuing as if talking to himself, Go Biqing couldn’t help but interject, "Please, take note. At that time, there was no such thing as what you said about her liking me. In fact, back then, my relationship with her barely qualified as even ordinary friends. How could it be possible? You’re overthinking it. Also, I have a girlfriend now. Please don’t say such things; if it reaches my girlfriend’s ears, I definitely won’t have a good time."

Hearing this, Ye KeWei’s eyes turned sharp, "Go Biqing, let me tell you, do you think using Bai Weiran as a decoy would work? Qingqing might not know your situation, but I’m different. I always saw you as my greatest rival. I know your situation inside out. Bai Weiran has only met you a few times, how could she be your girlfriend?"

Go Biqing was left speechless. He’d been completely seen through, but fortunately, Murong Qing didn’t know. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What exactly do you want?"
