Chapter 2669 Maybe We’re All Just Worldly

Actually, when Gu Qibao invited Nangong Xiao out, Nangong Xiao had a bit of an inkling of what it was about.

Because Gu Qibao had never invited Nangong Xiao out alone before, especially not in such a formal manner.

Yet Nangong Xiao promptly arrived at the coffee shop as scheduled. Gu Qibao came early, and when she saw Nangong Xiao, she eagerly stood up and called out, "Xiaoxiao, over here."

Nangong Xiao beamed brightly as she walked over, politely greeting, "Sister Qibao."

Gu Qibao immediately felt a bit embarrassed, nodded, "Sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"Anything’s fine." Nangong Xiao replied.

A waiter approached, and Nangong Xiao said, "Just a cup of coffee for me."

The waiter nodded and left.

"The coffee here is still so good, the taste seems to have never changed." Gu Qibao said casually, taking a sip.

"Yeah." Nangong Xiao nodded, smiling, "It is."

"Sister Qibao, did you specifically ask me out because you have something to tell me?" Nangong Xiao asked directly, thinking it unnecessary to beat around the bush.

Young people tend to be much more straightforward, Gu Qibao couldn’t help but chuckle, realizing she’s become a bit long-winded with age.

"Alright then, I’ll speak plainly." Gu Qibao nodded and got straight to the point, knowing that no matter how she danced around it, the topic would inevitably come up.

"Okay, I’m listening." Nangong Xiao smiled, her eyes curving slightly. To be honest, she really was quite beautiful when she smiled.

"Here’s the thing." Gu Qibao organized her thoughts and said, "What I wanted to talk about, you probably guessed it already—it’s about you and Yimo in the past."

"Yes, I guessed." Nangong Xiao nodded calmly, speaking before Gu Qibao, "Sister Qibao, don’t worry. I don’t like Di Yimo. What happened with him was just a childish misunderstanding from the past. I understand what you, Third Brother, and my parents are concerned about, and I promise you all that I won’t be with Di Yimo."

Gu Qibao didn’t expect Nangong Xiao to be so straightforward, feeling a bit embarrassed herself, and after a long pause said, "Xiaoxiao, you see this matter really is us..."

"It’s alright, I understand." Nangong Xiao interrupted Gu Qibao, "Sister Qibao, what I just told you is the truth too. I don’t like Di Yimo, and we are not possible, so I will keep my distance from him."

Since Nangong Xiao had said all there was to say, Gu Qibao didn’t know what else to add, a little stunned, truly not expecting Nangong Xiao to be so direct.

Was she straightforward, carefree, or truly never liked him?

"Well, you’re really a good kid." Gu Qibao thought for a long time before squeezing out this sentence.

Nangong Xiao laughed, "I just don’t want everyone to feel troubled. Love, you know, it’s everywhere. I think with my qualities, a lot of guys would like me, and besides, I don’t like someone younger than me."

For some reason, hearing this, Gu Qibao felt a bit of heartache.

Actually, at the beginning, they didn’t oppose the relationship between Nangong Xiao and Di Yimo, she meant when they were younger.

Back then perhaps they hadn’t thought seriously about it, just felt the two of them were quite amusing and beautiful together, but later as they grew up, it somehow suddenly seemed a bit inappropriate.

Perhaps people are just worldly.
