Chapter 645 Do You Have A Girlfriend


    Lauren disagreed, "Your expectations are too high. Wesley is awesome. And Niles is no slouch either.


    He''s a doctor, and stands to make a ton of cash. Cecelia, you''ve done an amazing job raising your


    kids."


    "Thank you. You''re too kind. You make it sound like I should be on cloud nine because of my kids,"


    Cecelia said with a smile.


    "Of course," responded Lauren.


    Then she noticed Niles'' bruised face. "Niles, what happened to your face? Did you get in a fight? Did


    your brother beat you again?" Everyone in the Jiang family knew very well where Niles had gotten


    those bruises.


    Niles gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I messed with my brother again."


    "Hahaha, he''s beaten you up ever since you were little boys. Wesley''s pretty hard on you for a brother,"


    Ga''s father remarked as he patted Niles on the head.


    Niles sighed and wore a self-effacing smile. "It''s been going on for so long, I''m used to it. Besides, it''s


    New Year''s. I don''t want to spoil the happy mood, so I''ll let it slide."


    His family knew him well. They also knew why Wesley pounded on him this time. Hearing that, they all


    rolled their eyes at him. The Jiang familyughed out loud.


    Then Ga''s parents noticed the girl in the living room who sat quietly eating sunflower seeds. "Who''s


    this?" asked Lauren.


    All of a sudden, all eyes were on ir. Ga hadn''t really noticed, as she was focused on Wesley. But


    her mother''s words made her notice the girl. Ga had seen her before, but she couldn''t remember


    where.


    ir put down the sunflower seeds in her hand, stood up and straightened her clothes. She was a bit


    stunned when she saw Ga. This was the woman on the video chat. The one who had threatened


    her. But she shook it off and remembered her manners. "Nice to meet you. I''m ir Jing," she said.


    "ir?" Finally Ga figured out why she was so familiar. The video chat! Of course! ''But I told her to


    stay away, '' she thought.


    With a nod, Laurenmented cordially, "So pretty." Then she turned to Cecelia. "She a rtive? Why


    haven''t we met before?"


    "This is Adalson''s niece. She lives in the same city as him. She came all this way to visit Keith,"


    Baldwin said. He liked ir a lot, but he couldn''t introduce her as Wesley''s girlfriend, so this


    exnation sufficed. He wished Wesley would just confess his feelings and make things easier.


    "Adalson Ji?" Ga''s father wondered.


    "Yeah, he''s my uncle," ir answered with a smile.


    "Cool! What a coincidence! Your uncle and I were in the military together. We fought side by side," he


    They all sat down on the couch in the living room. A servant served some fruit and snacks, and people


    dug in. They had worked up an appetite.


    And of course they talked andughed amongst themselves. Things were prettyid-back, and most of


    the family was happy. Cracking jokes, catching up.


    Ga sat down next to Wesley without thinking. She kept stealing nces at ir. Her gut feeling told


    her that ir and Wesley were more than friends.


    Niles sat beside Keith. His seat was far away from ir''s. Wesley, on the other hand, was seated at the


    end of the couch, next to the armchair ir sat in.


    She had to admit that ir was a looker. Her eyes were big. Her brows were thick and naturally


    arched. Her lips were like dewy roses in morning sunlight. Unlike Ga''s darker skin, ir''s was fair.


    Just like Wesley, Ga wore her army uniform. ir was rocking a light-colored thin coat. She looked


    innocent and simple, the type most boys liked.


    Her dimples added to her charm when she smiled.


    Ga had never thought of herself as unattractive, but ir outmatched her in every way.


    Compared to ir, she looked homely and much less womanly.


    Little did she know that when she was watching ir, ir was focused on her, mostly because she


    had imed to be Wesley''s fiancee.


    Ga had short hair. Dressed in her uniform, she looked valiant and heroic. She might be less


    feminine, but she still looked tender. ir was impressed by the way she possessed rough-edged


    femininity and power at the same time.


    Ga wasn''t interested in fancy makeup or clothes. She was a soldier, a heroine. She trained hard


    and she fought bravely. ''She''s awesome, '' ir thought.


    She admired her, just as she admired Wesley.


    Ga and Wesley were both soldiers. They were both courageous people. And they grew up together.


    They had a lot inmon. ir wouldn''t be surprised if Wesley chose her as his fiancee.


    She fiddled with the sunflower seeds in her hand as she pondered this. The people all around her were


    Lauren looked at Wesley thoughtfully and then asked, "Wesley, Ga always wanted to work in your


    city. Think she can be transferred after New Year''s?"


    Wesley put away his phone and answered, "I don''t see a problem with it."


    ir snapped out of it when she heard Wesley''s voice. She pricked up her ears, trying to figure out


    what they were talking about. That was when she found out about Ga''s dream transfer.


    ir''s mind started wandering again. Questions, spections, different kinds of scenarios flooded in


    her head.


    ''Did she make that decision because of Wesley? She''d probably see Wesley more often after the


    transfer. Would Wesley take care of her the way he takes care of me?''


    "Wesley, do you have a girlfriend?" Lauren asked.


    It was something parents and older rtives always discussed. No one made any bones about it. But if


    you looked carefully, you''d see that Cecelia''s gaze constantly strayed to ir after the question was


    raised.


    "No," Wesley replied after a moment''s hesitation.


    Lauren was happy to hear it. "Wesley, tell me, what kind of girl do you like? I can fix you up. If you get


    married, your wife can keep your mompany when you''re not around."


    Everyone fell silent when they heard that, because they all liked ir and hoped she could marry

    Wesley. ir tried to make herself smaller, blushing furiously.


    "Thanks, Aunt Lauren. But I don''t want a girlfriend. Too busy. You can fix Niles up, though. He has


    time." She wasn''t surprised to hear that.


    Niles was munching on macadamia nuts. Hearing his name mentioned, he lifted his head in confusion


    and asked, "What? What did I do now?"


    Lauren smiled, "Nothing. I was going to find a girlfriend for your brother. But he says he''s too busy.


    What about you, Niles? Do you have a girlfriend?"


    "Don''t need one. I''m fresh out of college and I haven''t had any fun yet. I want some alone time before I


    find someone to spend time with," Niles announced.


    Cecelia got mad at the two brothers'' words. She said to Lauren, "Listen to these two! One is 26 and


    doesn''t want a girlfriend. The other is in his twenties but acts like a child. This is so infuriating!"
