C26 (1/2)

Even though it was somewhat shocking, it was in the end not seen it with his own eyes. Now that he had heard it with his own ears, he was shocked and at the same time, felt excited. Since his lady had made a decision, he could not help but cooperate with her.

”Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?”

Gu Yun looked at her with a smile, and then smiled, ”Of course I'm afraid, I thought young master spent so much effort to find me, and that you would at least have some trust in me. Since I'm a friend, I might as well trust you, and since I dared to bet, I'm not afraid of you selling me out, if young master has never put me in his eyes as a friend, then I have nothing to say, is that true?”

Gu Yun pinched his nose and laughed. This girl was getting more and more interesting, ”Fine, since you have such a high opinion of her, then I will not let you down, but it is not just for the sake of friends.”

Xie Jingxi's heart froze for a moment, as she carefully tried to decipher his eyebrows, as if she was determining that there was a bit of truth in his words. Since he did not avoid the topic, then Xie Jingxi would not act so pretentiously, ”As for anything else other than friends, I'm sorry to say that I have never thought about it before, but regarding the matter of marriage, even though I have my own will, I still want to ask for a word of fate. So, I think that right now, there's nothing else to say.”

Gu Yun nodded, agreeing with her. It was already dark, and he was not afraid of being seen, but they did not want to stay for long, so the two of them went back the way they came. Only when they passed by the dense foliage, Gu Yun still held her hand perfectly, until he saw Gu Wan, then released his.

”Oh my god, why have you been gone for so long? Just now, I watched your little girl come out to find you.”

Seeing the two of them coming out, Gu Wan immediately ran over, ”What are you two talking about? You're so mysterious, you actually hid it from me.

Gu Yun just laughed and did not say anything. Looking at Xie Jingxi, her expression clearly showed that she had tacitly agreed, and meant that if you were to guess, Xie Jingxi was actually quite calm. She glanced at Gu Yun and said, ”Everything is enough to get rid of Young Master.”

”En, that's fine. You guys hurry up and go. It won't be good if people find out.”

After Gu Yun said and left, Gu Wan had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, ”Okay, you're still hiding it from me, since when did you start to make eye contact with my big brother? Could it be that the last time he saved you, he definitely did, my big brother has never bothered with people that don't matter to him, I have never seen him speak to a girl as familiarly, no, I have never seen him speak to anyone like that, no, I have never even talked to a lady before, could it be that big brother has taken a fancy to you …”

Gu Wan kept on nagging, causing Xie Jingxi to want to cover her mouth, ”You're just afraid that others might not know what's going on, what are you saying?”

”Hmph, just you wait. Sooner or later, she will be the daughter-in-law of our Gu family.”

Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. The identity of a Gu family's daughter-in-law seemed to have become a scar that she couldn't touch, and all of her thoughts disappeared in an instant. That's right, she was still the Gu family's daughter-in-law.

”Aiya, young lady, where did you run off to? Old Madem has been looking for you for a long time now!” It was a little girl, Chan Er, who was standing beside Lady Xu.

Gu Wan said: ”Blame me, blame me, I was the one who was too busy playing, and pulled your young lady away, I will apologize to Old Madem later.”

”I've definitely been dragged away by Third Miss Gu, don't worry, but Old Madem won't be able to see you for a while and you'll be worried.”

Xie Jingxi and Gu Wan were quite close to each other, so she decided to just sit together. admiring the moon was actually quite boring, looking at the same moon year round, with her eyes closed, he could imagine what it was like. It was because of this that when Xie Jingxi stared at the moon, her heart had long since flown away.

Sometimes it was the crown prince's business, sometimes it was Gu Yun's turn, sometimes it was the crown prince who would not forgive him, and sometimes it was Gu Yun himself. What did he mean by this, did he care about her, or was he plotting something else?

Madam, the attendant in front of Master has come back and forth. He said that Master drank too much and wanted to see if he could return early. Nanny Feng's voice was not loud, but the neighboring people could hear him.

Lady Xu was shocked, ”Master? The old master has always been a person who doesn't drink much, so why is it that he has to drink so much today? ”

Xie Jingxi was interrupted by them, and looked over in shock as well. The attendant then spoke out in a low voice: ”Reporting to Madam, it's the Crown Prince, I don't know why, but she continuously toasted our master's wine today, and since Master could not refuse, she also drank a few cups. Fortunately Master's students did not stop him, otherwise, how much stronger would he be?”

Xie Jingxi's heart thumped loudly. The male and female banquet was not far from him, and was only held on two sides. Xie Jingxi secretly glanced over, and didn't know if it was because of her heart, or because she felt that the crown prince's gaze was always on her side.

Xie Jingxi said to the Lady Xu in a low voice, ”Mother, Father never drinks too much, it is definitely inappropriate to drink so much at once. Since there won't be any problems, why don't you tell the emperor about this, and go back to the manor first.”
