Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Master Yu, Miss Gu is outside, looking to meet Miss Mei", Yu Bufan entered the living room where Mei Qingyang and Yu Tian were having breakfast. It was a gloomy Saturday morning, raining cats and dogs outside. It was almost end of November now and had been a week since Mei Qingyang's matches.

"Now that Yu Rong does not want to come herself, she is sending her lackey?" Su Lang scoffed at the news. He had been practically living at Yu Tian's abode. He would barge in everyday early in the morning and leave late at night, making sure that the two people were not having more than necessary contact.

"We should let her in and hear her out", Mei Qingyang proposed. She was busy with her old laptop, which she had finally got from downstairs with the help of Su Lang. She had already adjusted the video feed for Yu Tian's camera to Yu Rong a week ago. Now it was much easier to sleep in peace, rather than thinking about when that witch would explode and beat Yu Tian again.

���Aren't you acting like a little wifey already, giving orders to your senior Yu's staff?" Although Su Lang was acting as a watchdog, he knew if they really wanted to go ahead and do lovey dovey stuff, they could do it when he was gone. No one was stopping them and he could not be here all the time. And thus, he just acted strict but loved to tease them as well.

"And aren't you playing a gooseberry here all the time?" Yu Tian took a jab on Su Lang while sipping his morning coffee. This meddlesome guy would not even let them eat breakfast in peace. Yu Tian had not been able to spend alone time with his lass at all for the past week.

He had thought he would be able to easily reduce the distance between them during this time. He had been attending his classes here and there but nothing more. He had moved all his business stuff back home too, doing teleconferences rather than going anywhere.

It was not only about closing gaps in their relationship, but also a security issue. He could not leave her alone anywhere. In the past few days, Yu Rong had not even called him to her office. She must have been fuming and scheming inside. He had no idea what his aunt was thinking. And that put them at more disadvantage.

"Ehehehe", he heard Mei Qingyang looking at the two friends with a mischievous smile on her face.

"What's up with the weird expression. Also, can you wipe your drool, it's disgusting", Su Lang chided Mei Qingyang. Did she lose her brain as well?

"What drool! Older brother, let's not talk about me. You two guys are so close, I sometimes feel jealous of your friendship. I wish to meet my best friend from the past, but I cannot find any information on her", she sighed. She had been remembering her past slowly, in bit and pieces. She had seen a silhouette of a girl other than Li Sibao who seemed to be very close to her but she could not remember her face at all.

"Hmm… I do remember there being a girl very close to you. Do you have any hint on the name or the face?", Su Lang jumped up to help, as usual. Nothing related to his sister could escape him.

How did he become such a doting brother in a few weeks?

Qingyang shook her head in negative.

"Ahem, masters and miss, what to do about the guest? She has been standing outside for almost ten minutes", Yu Bufan reminded the three who had been bickering for some time now.

"I don't want filthy things coming into my house", Yu Tian declared, got up from his seat and left towards his bedroom. Su Lang was pretty accustomed to his friend's behavior but seeing that Mei Qingyang was still calmly drinking her tea, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was really setting into her wife role here, eh?

"What should we do now?" Su Lang whispered to Mei Qingyang.

"Well, a guest has come knocking on the door, we can't let her leave just like that. We need some information too." The girl, almost finishing her breakfast, grinned.

"God, what new scheme do you have in your mind now?"

"You will see. Assistant Yu, please invite her. I want to see what she has to say", she requested Yu Bufan.

"Understood", Yu Bufan left right away to invite the girl standing outside, gritting her teeth in anger. She was the heir to Gu family and these guys were making her wait for so long? If anyone else, their servants would not even need to ask their masters before letting her in.

If it were Yu Tian, she would have understood. The world of rich had a hierarchy too. Since her family was just lower than the Su, Yu and Feng family, she had to be docile in front of them. And they all were handsome lads and an awesome catch, so she did not mind.

Fan family and hers were at par, but since Fan Ruyi was her senior, she still had to be humble before her. But this bloody wench Mei Qingyang, whose glory was she basking in, that she would make her wait like this? Whatever, she would bear with this humiliation for now, and later it would be her turn, both to stay by Yu Tian's side and throw the b*tch out of the school and the high society.

The large door opened slowly from inside. Gu Layue got excited as this was the first time she was going to see Yu Tian's room. It would be her future home, so she needed to pay attention to details.

"Miss Gu, miss Mei is ready for you." Yu Bufan was an expert in adding fuel to the fire, so he worded his sentence in such a way that this Gu kid knew who the actual lady of the house was.

He had taken quite a liking to Mei Qingyang too. She was never rude to him and treated him as a human. A girl like Gu Layue would always think of him as just Yu Tian's servant and order him left and right to do stuff for her. Fortunately, he worked for a great master like Yu Tian, so he did not need to listen to this person.

"Ah! Yu Bufan, how dare that girl make me wait?" Gu Layue voiced her complaints. Even here, she was thinking Yu Bufan had better position than Mei Qingyang, so she had the right to vent about her to him. Yu Bufan rolled his eyes in his heart. Did this girl always think in terms of who is higher than who?

"I am sorry on behalf of miss Mei. She was having breakfast with master and thus, could not receive you." What did it mean for Yu Tian's assistant to apologize on behalf of a stranger? Were they already playing house? And they were having breakfast together? At the same table?

That wench was so lowly born that she should not even be sitting on the chairs at Yu Tian's place. That filthy creature!

Gu Layue suppressed her emotions and entered the room behind the assistant who was not really interested in how dumbfounded their guest was.

Gu Layue had brought Gu Chang along with her who was dressed in formal attire of a butler. He had buttoned up his collar in a vain attempt to hide his hickeys. The girl was also dressed modestly, against how all her dresses were always a bit over the top.

Heating system in the building was too strong today as it was rainy and cold outside. Still, these guys were covering their bodies completely. Mei Qingyang giggled to herself at the sight, the two people really looked overdressed.

"What do I owe the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of your esteemed visit today, Ms. Gu?" Mei Qingyang got up from the dining table and headed towards the sofa. She noticed how Gu Layue was looking around as if she had not seen anything like this penthouse before.

Why, wasn't she a part of topmost family in M nation too? Should her room also not be as fancy?

In reality, her own room did not compare to what she was seeing at all. Her rooms were smaller and it did not have a separate living room and dining room. Her dining room was part of the open kitchen itself. And this guy had a grand piano in his room. She struggled to put even her cello at her place. Instantly, she was overcome with rage out of jealousy.

"Pah!" Everyone heard a random slapping sound out of nowhere. Before anyone could understand what had happened, they saw Gu Chang's specs and the chocolates he was holding, mostly as a gift for Mei Qingyang, falling on the carpeted floor, taking everyone by surprise.
