Chapter 237: Chapter 238: Still, My Wife is More Skillful

Both of them dressed. A knock came at the door. Xia Yangyang opened it to find Xia Weiwei.

"What are you doing here so early?" Xia Yangyang asked.

Xia Weiwei's gaze darted inside. Upon seeing Gu Qichen, she said, "Brother-in-law, you're up. Mom wants you to have breakfast in the dining room. She made fish soup noodles."

Gu Qichen approached the door. Turning to Xia Yangyang, he said, "Can you help me with this button? I can't seem to fasten it."

Xia Yangyang turned. Gu Qichen had already put on his shirt; only the collar button remained undone. She quickly fastened it.

Gu Qichen kissed her hand. "My wife's hands are quite deft."

Xia Weiwei's face darkened. Gu Qichen, seemingly noticing her for the first time, said coolly, "I see. I'll go with your sister now."

Xia Weiwei forced a smile. "Then I'll leave. You two be quick."

She left, clearly hoping to find them quarreling. She'd expected an argument over Lu Haotian, but their relationship seemed better than before. Gu Qichen's gaze lingered on Xia Yangyang; he barely looked at Xia Weiwei.

Fuming, Xia Weiwei stormed into the kitchen. "Mom, I can't take it anymore! Didn't you say they'd divorce within a year? Why are they so good to each other?"

Liu Ruyan glanced toward the door, then glared at Xia Weiwei. "Be careful what you say. Someone might hear."

Xia Weiwei said furiously, "Seeing them being affectionate makes me sick! Why would someone like Young Master Gu fall for a nobody like Xia Yangyang? I'm younger and prettier. Why doesn't he even look at me?"

Liu Ruyan replied casually, "Men tire of delicacies and crave simple dishes. Since he likes Xia Yangyang's type, you should act modest and pure around him. Look at yourself—you can't even bear this. How will you replace your sister and become Mrs. Gu?"

The thought of "Mrs. Gu" excited Xia Weiwei. She shook Liu Ruyan's arm. "Mom, tell me your plan! I can't wait. I don't want to call him 'brother-in-law' anymore. Please help me."

"Alright, stop fussing. Don't worry. Your sister's birthday is coming up soon. I still need to confirm a few things. This is a great opportunity."

At breakfast, Liu Ruyan said, "Yangyang, your birthday is coming up. Your father and I decided to make up for last year's missed celebration. Your dad booked a floor at the Caesar Hotel. We'll invite all your classmates and friends. Ah Chen, please inform your family; we hope they'll attend."

Gu Qichen replied, "I will."

Xia Yangyang hadn't planned a grand celebration, but Liu Ruyan and Xia Liangdong sent invitations without consulting her. All the town's prominent families were invited. In the past, not all would have attended, but this time, everyone came.
