Chapter 894: Do You Have a Crush on Master Fong?
Especially female apprentices.
There are many things about Master Fong that Gu Qiaoqiao actually doesn't know.
For instance, why doesn't he get married? Why is he almost forty and still doesn't have a partner?
In her previous life, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn't speak, and she felt this was her master's private matter, so she never dared to ask.
Xiao Wen's beautiful eyes shifted, and she continued to ask, "Qiaoqiao, do you know how old he is this year?"
"He's a cycle older than me, thirty-two this year."
"Oh, thirty-two, so young," Xiao Wen said with a cheerful smile.
Gu Qiaoqiao laughed, yes, thirty-two does seem young in Xiao Wen's eyes. Gu Qiaoqiao turned her head, seriously looking at Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen is a girl with striking looks, but beneath that allure lies a hint of innocence. This makes her look quite contradictory, yet particularly attractive.
Xiao Wen is also quite wealthy.
She spares no expense in dressing herself up. Whatever is trendy in the Imperial Capital, she wears.
No matter the cost, she's willing to buy.
Combine that with her natural beauty, and she draws many glances when walking down the street.
Gu Qiaoqiao knows that Xiao Wen seems to have been single for a long time.
But she isn't aware of Xiao Wen's past. Sometimes, even if someone is a good friend, if the other person doesn't proactively share their past with you, then you should never pry or probe.
Because there must be a reason for not wanting to talk about it.
Sometimes, if it's a painful past, reopening old wounds is nothing less than a fresh injury for a friend.
Gu Qiaoqiao understands this well, so she never asks randomly.
Because she's the same way.
Gu Qiaoqiao curled the corners of her mouth and teasingly said, "Sister Xiao Wen, have you taken a liking to Master Fong?"
Xiao Wen giggled and gave Gu Qiaoqiao a playful glare, "Little girl, look at you grinning mischievously."
"No, I'm very serious, aren't I?" Gu Qiaoqiao quickly put on a straight face, feeling wronged.
"I think you're just enjoying the spectacle, but you're half right..."
"Half right, what do you mean?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, surprised.
"A slight fondness for him, he's a real man, but saying I've taken a liking to him would be too much," Xiao Wen said slowly.
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit sympathetic for Master Fong and quickly emphasized, "Master Fong is a good man, a true gentleman."
"Mm, I know that."
"Sister Xiao Wen, aren't you afraid of the scar on his face?"
"Afraid of what? Using modern lingo, it should be a symbol of his heroism." Xiao Wen said earnestly.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn't laugh because she knew that the scar indeed symbolized just that.
"Sister Xiao Wen, you're absolutely right..." Gu Qiaoqiao glanced ahead, noticing they were nearing the Gu Family. She turned to Xiao Wen and said, "Sister Xiao Wen, Master Fong is a good man. If you really like him, I can ask Ah Ze to inquire for you."
Xiao Wen could totally match with Master Fong.
Moreover, Xiao Wen is lively, and together with Master Fong, they could complement each other.
The more Gu Qiaoqiao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
"You little girl, how old are you? Already trying to play matchmaker?" Xiao Wen teased Gu Qiaoqiao with a sideways glance.
"Not at all, what matchmaker?" Gu Qiaoqiao blushed and retorted a bit defiantly, "I'm only saying this because it's Master Fong…"
"But now that we've mentioned it, Qiaoqiao…" Xiao Wen paused and continued with a meaningful tone, "Why do I feel like you hold Master Fong in particularly high regard? Aren't you afraid Qin Yize might get upset?"
