Gu Yachen took out the floor plan and discussed some more detailed plans with Gu Jiayin. About two hours had passed, and Lu Xiya was still asleep.
Once everything was settled, he finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "What's going on between you, Pei Nianchen, and Sheng Qianchi?"
Far away in the Southern Gu Family, the news Yachen heard about Jiayin was all from the media. He was always baffled; how did she disrupt Pei Nianchen's wedding and end up with Sheng Qianchi?
From what he knew of her, it was impossible she'd choose Sheng Qianchi.
For someone he'd only met twice before, it seemed abrupt for Yachen to ask such a question, but during their two-hour interaction, a natural and obvious sense of trust had developed between them.
This trust provided him the basis and reason to ask, which could be explained as concern.
Gu Jiayin indeed didn't find it abrupt. Although she never called him "brother," she regarded him as an older brother in her heart.
