The Long Chase For The President's Spouse

Chp.19

Chapter 19: The Boyfriend is the Superior

Today was a relaxing weekend. Gu Zhun and his sister Gu Li finally had the rare chance to rest at home together.

"Brother, do you have anywhere you would like to go?"

"Sister, I am no longer a kid. Staying home and watching television is good enough."

Ever since their parents divorced, Gu Li filled the role of Gu Zhun's father and mother. Every weekend, Gu Zhun would return home from school. Sometimes, when Gu Li had the rare chance to rest on a weekend, she would ask him, "Do you have anywhere you would like to go?"

Kids would always want to travel with their families, but Gu Zhun understood his sister's difficulties and the family's tight economic constraints. He would use excuses like "I have a lot of homework that needs to be done", "I need to revise for a test next week", or "I want to watch cartoons" to drop it.

Although Gu Li knew of her brother's thoughtfulness, she would still ask whenever she had an offday. What if her brother wanted to go somewhere one day?

The Korean drama,《My Love from the Star》was being played on television. It was the love story between a famous celebrity, Cheon Song-yi and an alien, Do Min-joon. Somehow, when she watched this romance drama, Gu Li was unable to refrain herself and asked Gu Zhun: "Which step have you progressed to with Zhang Heng?"

Gu Zhun: "..." Which step? What step was referring to which step?

Gu Li saw her brother remain silent for a long time and roughly guessed that he did not know how to talk about it. As such, she came up with a multiple choice question, just like before, and gave it to Gu Zhun: "A. Hold hands, B. Kiss, C. Sex"

Straightforward ABC's... Gu Zhun received ten thousand points of critical damage.

"..." Gu Zhun did not hide anything from his sister. When he was in high school, he received a love letter by accident from his female classmate (although it was placed in Gu Zhun's locker by mistake). He thought for three days and was unable to find a suitable reply. He would even take out such an embarrassing puppy love letter obediently and consult his sister's opinion.

"A."

"Progress is a little slow..." Gu Li took out a magazine and opened it to a dazzling white leg wearing only beach shorts. Her eyes stared at the magazine, but her mind wasn't focused on it. She was thinking of how to hasten their relationship. After all, ever since her brother attended junior high, she knew that someone liked him. Furthermore, he liked him seriously. In the end, because of that...

Gu Zhun did not hear that sentence because Gu Li's voice was soft. All he heard was a sigh from Gu Li.

It was already noon. Sitting at the dining table and gnawing on chicken wings, the brother and sister continued to chat idly.

"Sister, how's your boyfriend? Any plans to get married?"

"Silly brother... Why are you such a busybody like Aunt Seven? Don't worry, your sister isn't against marriage. She will try to promote herself out there, so don't worry." On the surface, she criticized her brother for meddling in her affairs, but in her heart, she was happy that her brother wished for her happiness.

Gu Li was now working in a finance company. Usually, she was in charge of a variety of expense account bills. Her boyfriend was her section head. He was thirty years old, a year older than Gu Li. Looks wise, he wasn't very handsome, but in a crowd of strangers, his looks were considered better than average.

His name was "Lin Feng". He was from a middle class family that was moderately well-off. His family had a house and a car. His parents had stable jobs and a retirement pension. He himself was a graduate from a key university with a prospective salary. In terms of financial factors, if Gu Li married into Lin Feng's family, it could be counted as climbing up the social ladder.
