- Chapter 55 - What to Do When Your Fiancée is Poached
The gathering spot was a Japanese barbecue restaurant, and Gu Sisi arrived very early. With an excited heart and trembling hands, she proudly sent a message in the “Four Beauties” group chat.
Mortal Fairy Gu the Fourth: [About to have dinner with Wen Yan, suddenly feeling a bit nervous.]
Mortal Fairy Gu the Fourth: [Sisters, give me some conversation topics. I’m so afraid of awkward silences~]
Gu Shuang, who was in the middle of getting her makeup done, glanced at her phone and nearly rolled her eyes out of her head. So fake and performative—who knows which green tea bitch she learned this from outside.
Gu the Second Not So Dumb: [This tea-brewing skill is impressive. Level ten, right?]
Little Third from the Movie Queen’s Family: [Sister Shuang is an expert in tea art appreciation. If she says level ten, it must be level ten.]
The waiter brought over a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, the pink straw deliberately twisted into a cute little heart. Gu Sisi’s hidden girly heart was immensely satisfied, and she didn’t mind her sisters’ thinly veiled sarcasm.
Hmph, they’re just jealous.
One Gu Gu: [Aren’t you a screenwriter? Wen is an actress. You could talk to her about script content or interesting industry gossip~]
[It’s fine to chat about rumors too that can quickly bring you closer~]
Gu the Second Not So Dumb: […]
Little Third from the Movie Queen’s Family: […]
Mortal Fairy Gu the Fourth: […Okay, Sister Yi.]
Why was their eldest sister still so clueless and out of touch? She totally ruined the flow of their conversation!
Was she really asking for advice? She was clearly just showing off!
Perhaps due to her profession and age, Gu Yi was a Chinese literature professor at a university, with a generational gap between her and her younger sisters. Aside from shopping and makeup, they hardly had any common topics. Unintentionally killing the group chat vibe without realizing it had become somewhat of an endearing quirk in her sisters’ eyes.
One Gu Gu: [By the way, since it’s your first meeting, did you prepare a gift?]
[After all, you’re the older sister. It wouldn’t be good to show up empty-handed.]
When it came to social etiquette, eldest sister Gu Yi was quite sharp. The problem was, Gu Sisi hadn’t prepared anything at all. After seeing the message from Little Fifth, she had hurriedly taken a shower, moisturized her skin, applied makeup, picked out an outfit, and styled her hair. Since the hotel was a bit far from the Japanese barbecue restaurant, Gu Sisi had left early to avoid traffic (though in this third-tier city, traffic jams were practically nonexistent).
She arrived at the restaurant an hour early and had been sitting around idly, killing time by chatting with her sisters.
Only then did she realize she hadn’t brought anything.
The composure and elegance of a little fairy vanished instantly. Gu Sisi panicked. What should she do? What should she give? Gold or silver jewelry?
No, that’s something Mom would give.
Roses or fresh flowers?
??? She’s not Little Fifth!
Gucci or LV? Where would she find a luxury store in this place?!
Gu Sisi felt like crying but had no tears. She quickly sent a message in the group chat seeking her sisters’ help.
Mortal Fairy Gu the Fourth: [Sister Yi, I didn’t bring anything. What should I give?]
If she went to buy something now, there might still be time.
Gu Shuang: Heh, not so smug now, are you?
Gu the Second Not So Dumb: [Just give money. Simple and direct.]
Gu Sisi: ??? Sister Shuang, I suspect you’re deliberately messing with me.
The Movie Queen’s Little Third: [I’ll give you an autographed copy of that Mary Sue debut novel, All the Alphas in School Love Me. Wen Yan will definitely remember you for it.]
Gu Sisi: Drop dead, drop dead, all of you drop dead! Can’t you just let her embarrassing past rest?
Such fake sisterly affection. In critical moments, it becomes clear they’re all just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
A bunch of villains.
What kind of sisters are they, really?
Gu Sisi pulled out a tissue and dabbed at the nonexistent tears at the corner of her eyes.
In situations like this, only the eldest sister, Gu Yi, was reliable. She stepped up to soothe the fourth sister’s emotions.
One Gu Gu: [If you’re at the mall, you could check out the skincare counters or go to a boutique for accessories like bracelets or earrings~]
[Honestly, money works too. As long as the sentiment is there, it’s fine.]
[It’s not easy for Little Five to finally get into a relationship. If the four of us sisters don’t show enthusiasm and friendliness, what if we scare her partner away?]
The Movie Queen’s Little Third: [If Little Five’s partner runs off, she won’t be able to find a wife. Mom would definitely worry herself sick, and in the end, we’d be the ones suffering.]
Wow, so that’s the logic?
Gu Sisi was stunned. She hadn’t expected her sisters to have thought that far ahead.
Gu Shuang was even more direct.
[That’s why I said just give money directly, wrap up a big red envelope. There’s nothing money can’t solve.]
[If there is, then double it.]
Gu Sisi: ???
Was their Gu family buying a child bride or something?
Sob sob, Little Five, you’re so pitiful. So this is how your sisters see you.
Gu Sisi would never be so tacky as to just shove money at someone. Even though she hadn’t met Wen Yan yet, she had been following the recent news and Weibo posts, especially the story about Wen Yan donating the compensation money to the Hope Primary School project. It made her feel that Wen Yan wasn’t the type to care about materialistic things like money and jewelry.
If she gave money, she’d definitely earn the disdain of the little beauty.
Gu Sisi made up her mind. She asked the server to hold her table and headed downstairs to the mall. After browsing the counters of various brands, she finally settled on a Bulgari perfume.
The top notes were a light floral and herbal scent, the middle notes a deep pine with the crisp chill of fresh snow; the most exquisite part was the base notes, a refreshing bamboo fragrance, elegant and enchanting.
Gu Sisi knew that Little Five’s pheromone was Purple Gold Bamboo. Whatever type of alpha Wen Yan liked, she would surely appreciate a perfume that matched the scent of her pheromones.
She paid for it immediately and asked the omega guy at the counter to wrap it up.
“We look forward to your next visit.”
Gu Sisi smiled kindly, took the gift, and returned to the Japanese barbecue restaurant. As soon as she reached the entrance, a server recognized her and approached with a smile.
“Miss Gu, the guest you were waiting for has arrived.”
“Let me show you to your table now.”
Huh?
She’s already here?
Wait, is my makeup still intact?
Gu Sisi quickly pulled out a small mirror from her bag, checking left and right. Eye makeup, OK. Lipstick, OK. Blush, OK. Perfect.
Even for a blind date, she had never been this meticulous. After all, she was about to meet another fairy-like beauty. How could she not dress up for the occasion?
This was basic etiquette in the fairy realm!
“Alright, thank you.”
Tucking the mirror back into her bag, Gu Sisi smiled gracefully. As she lifted her head, her demeanor transformed instantly she was the epitome of a young lady from a wealthy family, a meticulously polished little princess of a powerful conglomerate.
Apart from Gu Lin, Wen Yan, and Wen Yan’s younger brother Wen Xiu were also present. The seating arrangement had Wen Yan and her brother sitting together, while Gu Sisi sat beside Gu Lin.
“Let me introduce you this is my girlfriend, Wen Yan, and our younger brother, Wen Xiu.”
“This is my fourth sister, Gu Sisi. You can just call her Sister Sisi.”
When she had walked over earlier, Gu Sisi had only seen Wen Yan’s slender and graceful figure from behind. Now, sitting across from her, she realized just how stunning this woman’s looks and aura were.
A soft, enchanting body paired with a cool, unyielding temperament.
Deep, soulful peach blossom eyes and thin, cool cherry lips.
Gu Sisi suddenly thought of the cold, heartless courtesans in operas their smiles were for your money, their declarations of love for your wealth and power. Then she thought of the breathtakingly beautiful spy assassins, who would use their alluring bodies to capture your attention, skillfully teasing your desires with a single finger, only to plunge a dagger into your chest the moment you thought you had succeeded.
Leaving one last, emotionless kiss on your lifeless body.
So captivating!!!
Gu Xiao Wu must have fallen for her looks, right?!
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re actually not very photogenic?” Gu Sisi began flirting right in front of her sister.
Wen Yan seemed to anticipate what Gu Sisi would say next and let out a soft, low laugh.
“Not really.”
“With so much beauty, how could a camera possibly capture it all?”
Gu Lin turned her head, her gaze fixed directly on her sister, her eyes silently asking:
Sister Sisi, what are you doing?
Are you flirting with my girlfriend?
Look me in the eyes and answer me.
Gu Sisi paid no mind, handing over the gift before apologetically saying to Wen Xiu, “Sorry, little brother. It’s all Xiao Wu’s fault for not telling me earlier. I only prepared one gift.”
“Next time we meet, I’ll make it up to you with double the gifts, okay?”
This version of Gu Sisi was gentle, kind, and incredibly approachable. Wen Xiu was completely defenseless against the charm of a mature woman, his little face flushing red, utterly adorable.
“It’s fine, Sister Sisi.”
And so, the scene turned into three omegas chatting happily and intimately, moving from makeup to movies, and somehow ending up venting about alphas. Gu Lin, as an alpha, was mercilessly excluded and could only silently grill meat for the three omegas seemingly the only way she could find any sense of presence.
Considering Wen Yan’s profession, they had ordered low-fat beef. Unlike Korean barbecue, Japanese yakiniku doesn’t come with many side dishes or lettuce wraps, focusing more on savoring the natural, delicious flavor of the beef itself.
Gu Lin was quite skilled in the kitchen. She selected a steak, grilled it to medium-rare, seared the edges, then used scissors to cut it into evenly sized pieces. She distributed them to Wen Yan and Wen Xiu, placing the remainder directly into her own bowl.
Gu Sisi: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Wen Yan saw this and, suppressing a smile, glanced at her lover across the table, clearly signaling: Don’t bully your sister.
Gu Lin fell silent for a moment, then expressionlessly picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Sister Sisi’s bowl, silently expressing her dissatisfaction at being excluded.
Gu Sisi: I feel like our sibling bond is being tested.
“Is that really necessary, Gu Xiao Wu, hmm?”
“It’s not like I was just having an extremely pleasant chat with your girlfriend or anything.”
Gu Sisi once again showcased her master-level tea art, leaving Gu Lin so exasperated that his nose scrunched up, making him look even more tempting to bully.
“Wen Yan, if Xiao Wu ever makes you angry someday, don’t hesitate to break up with him.”
“Alphas are all unreliable scoundrels. My heart will always keep a spot reserved just for you.”
Wen Yan laughed until she trembled like pear blossoms in the wind, a few strands of hair slipping loose by her ears, the disarray only enhancing her charm.
“Alright then.”
She actually agreed.
Gu Lin: This meal is officially ruined.
