C210 (2/2)

”Compared to the West Lake, this place is filled with fire and smoke.”

”You went to the West Lake, followed by Shen Huanzhi?”

Xie Jingxi, ”...”

He really guessed it, she was indeed going with Shen Huanzhi.

”Do you know how to calculate?”

Gu Yun smiled and looked at her, ”Is there even a need to pinch me? When you were growing up in Yuhang, it was unlikely for a little girl to run to the West Lake herself. I'm afraid even Grandmother cannot accompany you, who else could it be other than Shen Huanzhi.”

Xie Jingxi squinted at him, ”I realized that you are not scary anymore, why are you asking me to beat you up like that?”

”Really? Then why don't you just pinch me again?”

”Fuck you!” Xie Jingxi wanted to push him, but she didn't. She wanted to shake off his hand, but she didn't shake it off.

”Don't make a fuss, there are many people here, be careful of losing them.” Gu Yun firmly grabbed her and pulled her to his side, whispering in her ear, ”This is kind of like getting angry from embarrassment, huh. I didn't think too much about it, explain it, what was your mood back then?”

”What kind of mood could I have? I was only eight or nine years old, and he was only half my age, not even taller than me. It was my birthday, and in order to satisfy my wish, he sneakily brought me here. He almost got beaten to death by his brother when he came back.”

”So it's like that, it's pretty infuriating. If I were his brother, I'd definitely be beaten to death.”

”No, he's mad at you for what?”

”He kidnapped my wife ah, he never had any good intentions since he was young. If it wasn't for my quick actions, he would have taken her away a long time ago. This won't do, he's too scheming.”

”Pei, you still haven't forgotten to praise yourself. If I wanted to meet you at that time, you would have already sold yourself out.”

Gu Yun laughed, ”That won't do, if it was me, I would go in the open and sneak around, instead of doing good things.”

”Look at what you can do.”

The two of them laughed and chatted as they entered a pleasure boat. As the sky darkened and colorful lanterns lit up, the water on the shore was once again bustling with noise and excitement.

This pleasure boat was two stories high and had a very exquisite eaves and pavilions. It stopped by the water's edge until it was more or less done. Then, it slowly sailed, accompanied by melodious music. The liveliness of Qin Huai officially began.

However, there would always be a little mouse poop that would affect the eyes, such as Song Yanting.

If the cruise liner had not already started moving, Xie Jingxi guaranteed that she would turn around and leave. Gu Yun held his hand to signal her to be at ease.

”Oh, little lady, you said that this isn't fate. This is fate!”

He also knew about Gu Yun's identity, but he did not put his in his eyes at all, ”Isn't this Minister Gu? Why, now that the imperial court has ordered the officials to come out and have fun together, that's pretty good. It means that our His Majesty is open to the public, but I think I heard that you were here to recuperate your illness as an official.

The cruise liner said it was not small, but it was limited even if it was big. Everyone could hear Song Yanting's undisguised voice, and upon hearing that he was an official appointed by the imperial court, they all looked over towards him curiously. In any case, no one knew what kind of person Minister Gu was, and they all knew what kind of thing Song Yanting was.

No matter how nice the singing on the stage was, they were already tired of listening to it. Song Yanting had even taken liberties with the wife of an official ordered by the imperial government, and even took liberties with her in front of her. If Gu Yun agreed, it would be singing of Song Yanting's boat taking care of the official's wife, and if Gu Yun did not agree, it would be singing of the Minister's Master Song fighting for love.

Gu Yun remained calm and collected as he protected Xie Jingxi behind him and smiled at Song Yanting: ”You have yet to meet Minister, not to mention face, when will you be recommended to us, Second Young Master, but Second Young Noble, I must advise you, President Song is not lacking in silver, your own little brother's eyes are bad, you always recognize the wrong person, you should be able to cure your illness, didn't you just leave a painting at our shop last time, I don't care about you, when you don't wait for me to get others to speak, you want to convict me of pretending to be a government officer, where should I cry, if you can't do it, I will give you the painting for free?”

”Puff …”

Many people in the cruise liner laughed, causing Xie Jingxi to hold back her laughter in her heart, thinking that Gu Xuanchen's mouth was also extremely lethal.
