Chapter 2625: Chapter 2626: In the End, Maybe I’ll Just Have to Accept It

“What are you struggling with?” Di Jinxuan, who’d been listening on the side, leaned over with great interest, then commented, “Xiaoxiao’s too pretty, so you want her as your daughter-in-law.”

Gu Qibao smiled, made a shushing gesture, then snuck a glance at Third Young Master Di, and stopped talking.

“Speaking of which.” Nangong Ran also asked curiously in a low voice, “Xiaoqi, if Yimo really does spark with Xiaoxiao, what are you going to do? Bash the young couple apart?”

“Fuck!” Gu Qibao scratched her head, then scratched it again, and she was really going at it.

After scratching, she finally let out a sigh, pouting as she said, “I really can’t bring myself to do the whole ‘tear the lovers apart’ thing. Leaving everything else aside, I really like Xiaoxiao too! But…”

“But what.” Di Jinxuan propped her chin on her hand and stared straight at Gu Qibao. “Isn’t there only a four- or five-year age gap between Alvin and Sister Ling? Look how lovey-dovey they are now, stuck together like superglue, you can’t pull them apart.”

“But they don’t have the seniority gap!” Gu Qibao’s eyes widened. “You can’t lump this all together.”

“Seniority’s not that big a deal, it’s not like there’s any blood relation anyway.” Di Jinxuan sounded pretty relaxed. “Besides, Big Bro and Sister Xiaxia, by logic they’re basically ‘siblings’ too, and didn’t they still end up married?”

Gu Qibao: “…”

“Exactly.” Nangong Ran chimed in from the side, “Xiaoqi, since when did you turn all feudal on us? Don’t tell me it’s an age thing? With this kind of situation, shouldn’t you be raising both hands in support and even giving them some god-tier assists?”

Gu Qibao: “…”

“I’m seriously torn to death here.” Gu Qibao’s whole face was about to wrinkle up like a walnut. After thinking for a bit she said, “If they don’t like each other, that would be best.”

“I’m seeing a little ‘like’ there.” Di Jinxuan rubbed her chin. “Looks like they’re chasing each other back and forth.”

Gu Qibao: “…”

“But the kids are still young, it’s too early to talk about this.” Nangong Ran suddenly said. “Actually, Xiaoqi, you don’t need to worry. Yimo’s still little, he’s just playing around with Nangong Xiao like a kid, and Nangong Xiao’s not that young anymore; she’ll soon have her first crush and find some boy she likes. So I don’t think they’ll end up together. Don’t stress.”

“Hopefully.” Gu Qibao nodded.

“Third Sister-in-law.” Di Jinxuan looked seriously at Gu Qibao and asked, “If—and I mean if—Yimo really does fall for Xiaoxiao in the future, and Xiaoxiao really likes Yimo too, are you planning to break them up?”

The question made Gu Qibao fall silent again. After thinking for a long while she finally said, “I don’t know, don’t ask me! Don’t throw these kinds of hypotheticals at me! All I can say is I probably really couldn’t do the whole ‘bash the couple apart’ thing!”

Especially when it’s her own son!

Besides, she really does like Nangong Xiao a lot too. She’s pretty much watched her grow up, the kid’s honestly got nothing wrong with her.

When Nangong Xiao was little she was super cute, totally dumb and adorable, including back when she insisted on making Di Yimo her husband.

Thinking about it, she really doesn’t know when she started getting a bit feudal about this, actually not really wanting her son to be with Nangong Xiao.

Maybe it’s just because Di Yimo is her biological son!

As a mother, of course she wants what’s best for her son, so right now all she can say is she won’t deliberately try to matchmake Nangong Xiao and Di Yimo, and might even deliberately keep the two of them from having too much contact.

But if Di Yimo really does fall for Nangong Xiao, she figures in the end she’ll probably still have no choice but to accept it.
