In public, Zheng Junyan showed his affection so openly. No one is a fool, how could he not see it?
When I first met Zheng Junyan, I thought he was a handsome young man who was gentle, courteous and polite. Compared with his peers, he was rare and calm. But today, when I saw him, he seemed a little immature and green.
I can't even control my emotions...
Then again, there are only a few people like Gu Xinian in the world who can still keep their expressions unchanged when they see their long-lost lover.
Gu Xinian naturally didn't know that Ye Qinglan was slandering him in her heart again. She narrowed her eyes slightly and gave Zheng Junyan a faint look, which was not without warning.
Zheng Junyan withdrew his gaze slightly sarcastically.
After a while, relatives and friends came again. Zheng Yun and his wife were busy greeting the guests and greeting them. It was very lively for a while.
Today is Gu Hong's birthday, and here are all very close relatives and friends. In addition to Gu Hong and his wife, there are also Ye Chengren and his wife, and people from the Zheng family.
When Ye Qinglan saw Mrs. Zheng, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello. Her eyes briefly wandered over Ye Qingning's pretty face, and she was secretly surprised. After not seeing each other for a few days, Ye Qingning had lost a lot of weight. Although she had a bright appearance with a thin layer of makeup, her face was still dark.
He didn't have much joy on his face. His eyebrows were slightly frowned unconsciously, and he looked like he was in low spirits.
Mrs. Zheng nodded lightly, casually asked Ye Qinglan how her life was in Dingguo's mansion, and said nothing more.
Obviously, Mrs. Zheng asked Ye Qingning what happened, and then turned her anger on her. In front of everyone, Mrs. Zheng couldn't say anything to her. But after returning to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, she was afraid
A storm is inevitable...
Ye Qinglan had already been mentally prepared and was not in a hurry. We will discuss the future matters later. The most important thing now is to find a chance to talk to Ye Qingning alone for a while.
Ye Qingning happened to look over, and when his eyes touched, he immediately understood the other person's intention.
There were more than a dozen chairs in the main hall of Nuo University, and everyone sat down according to host and guest. The younger generation stood behind their elders, and some familiar ones gathered together to whisper.
Ye Qinglan winked at Ye Qingning, and Ye Qingning quietly moved over. The two stood in the corner of the main hall and spoke in a lowered voice.
"Sixth Sister, have you told Auntie everything?" Ye Qinglan whispered in her ear.
Ye Qingning smiled bitterly and responded in a low voice: "I refused to say it, but my mother guessed it. She scolded me severely, grounded me for five days, and copied the female commandments ten times." She was dizzy after copying them.
My hands and feet are weak. My mood is depressed and I have no appetite at all. It is strange that I am not losing weight.
Ye Qinglan didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, and sighed sadly with her.
Ye Qingning is usually cold, arrogant and reserved, with a sharp and cold tongue, as if his whole body is covered with thorns. It is difficult to get close to him. Today, he is weak, helpless and fragile, which makes him look more pleasing to the eye than usual.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Did aunty say anything to me?"
Ye Qingning didn't say anything. Ye Qinglan understood and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, you just saw Cousin Zheng! Did you talk to him?"
Ye Qingning shook his head. How could she be in such a mood at the moment? Besides, Zheng Junyan's thoughts were all on Gu Xiyu, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to her at all. She wouldn't rush over.
While they were talking in a low voice, there was suddenly a strange movement at the door of the main hall. A boy hurried in and reported: "Master Qi, the Third Prince is here!"
The biological mother of the third prince Zhao Zhang is Concubine Zheng. Zheng Yun is his biological uncle. They have very close contact with each other on weekdays. Today is Zheng Yun's birthday. Zhao Zhang's appearance here is not too unexpected.
As soon as the boy finished speaking, a handsome and noble young man appeared at the door. Everyone immediately stood up to greet him.
Ye Qinglan looked over attentively. The third prince was about the same age as Gu Xinian, about twenty years old. He had thick eyebrows, bright black eyes, and handsome features. His clothes were not very luxurious and eye-catching, but his behavior naturally showed a certain aura.
A superior attitude.
In terms of appearance, the third prince was naturally not as good as Gu Xinian. But he had his own demeanor and a friendly smile on his face, which made people admire him.
Zheng Junyan and several other young men from the Zheng clan gathered around him, quite like a crowd of stars holding the moon.
Gu Xinian stood still and didn't move.
Paying attention to Gu Xinian's every move anytime and anywhere has almost become Ye Qinglan's instinctive reaction. This moment is no exception! Ye Qinglan quietly observed Gu Xinian's expression, feeling secretly surprised.
Gu Xinian and the third prince are direct cousins. How could they be so indifferent and distant when they met?
Moreover, she could gradually see Gu Xinian's true emotions behind his gentle appearance. Although he was smiling lightly at the moment, his eyes were dark. It seemed that he didn't like his cousin who was a prince very much...
Gu Xiyu's attention was not focused on the third prince at all. Instead, she looked at Ye Qinglan. The emotion in her eyes was obvious, as helpless and pitiful as a child abandoned by an adult.
Ye Qinglan's heart suddenly softened, and she said in a low voice: "Sixth sister, I will go over to accompany cousin Xiyu."
Ye Qingning hummed, and then said angrily: "Go and accompany cousin Xiyu quickly! Just leave me alone." As soon as he saw Gu Xiyu, he cast aside her serious cousin.
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly, shook Ye Qingning's hand, and then quietly slipped to Gu Xiyu's side.
"There are so many people, so uncomfortable!" Gu Xiyu murmured in a low voice, her palms were cold, her face was pale, and she was obviously on the verge of collapse.
Ye Qinglan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly comforted her in a low voice: "I will go out with you to get some fresh air, and come back when the luncheon starts." After saying that, she squeezed Gu Xiyu's hand tightly and slipped out of the back door of the main hall without leaving a trace.
I went out and arrived under the eaves. The voices in the main hall were still vaguely audible, but it was finally not that noisy.
With so many people gone around, Gu Xiyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ye Qinglan stayed by her side silently. When she calmed down a little, she asked softly: "Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Xiyu nodded, then smiled bitterly and laughed at herself: "I'm really useless."
She had worked very hard to adapt to such an environment, but there were more and more people around her, and the voices were getting louder and louder. She became nervous unconsciously, and felt at a loss as to where her hands and feet could go.
.
Ye Qinglan comforted her gently: "Don't say that, you have already performed very well just now." Compared with the last time she lost her temper in the British palace, Gu Xiyu's performance this time has been greatly improved. Although she didn't say a word
Said, but at least he didn't lose his composure.
Gu Xiyu looked up at Ye Qinglan uncertainly: "Really? Do you really think I was very good just now?"
Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement: "Well, you performed very well just now. It's not difficult at all, right? As long as you stay calm and relaxed, no one will look at you strangely. Even if everyone looks at you
Look, it’s because you’re good-looking that everyone can’t help but look at you more.”
Gu Xiyu was coaxed into laughing, and her expression returned to calm and gentle.
At this moment, a young man's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Cousin Xiyu!"
Gu Xiyu was caught off guard and was startled. She looked at the person in shock. Her big dark eyes were full of fear, which made people feel pity for them.
Zheng Junyan didn't expect that he would frighten Gu Xiyu like this. He immediately panicked, his handsome face full of apology and pity: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..." But he didn't dare to do it anymore.
Half a step closer.
Gu Xiyu held Ye Qinglan's hand tightly, her face still very pale.
Ye Qinglan held Gu Xiyu's hand with her backhand, comforted Gu Xiyu softly, and glared at Zheng Junyan without any trace. Gu Xiyu's mood had just calmed down, why did he show up again?
Zheng Junyan stood at a loss not far away, but he couldn't bear to leave.
After a while, Gu Xiyu's mood stabilized again, but she still refused to look up at Zheng Junyan.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to ask on her behalf: "Cousin Zheng, do you have anything to do with cousin Xiyu?"
Zheng Junyan then gave Ye Qinglan a little more attention and responded with a smile: "Nothing's wrong, I just felt that the room was too boring, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ye Qinglan was too lazy to expose his obvious lie and said with a smile: "In that case, we won't disturb cousin Zheng anymore. My cousin and I will go for a walk in the garden over there."
With that said, he turned around to leave.
Zheng Junyan suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Wait!"
Ye Qinglan was secretly amused, but there was a hesitant look on her face: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Zheng Junyan coughed and said with a smile: "If you and I have nothing to do, I will accompany you for a walk in the garden."
Gu Xiyu lowered her head and remained silent, so Ye Qinglan had no choice but to continue making up her mind. After thinking for a moment, she smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Cousin Zheng."
You don't need to guess what Zheng Junyan is thinking. If Gu Xiyu avoids seeing her, Zheng Junyan will definitely not give up. It's better to give Zheng Junyan a chance to express his feelings. Then he can end this relationship early.
The four-corner relationship of ambiguous secret love. When Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning got engaged, they could feel less suspicious and painful towards each other.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. If this continues, she, a psychiatrist, can change her career to be a love counseling expert for boys and girls.
Zheng Junyan perked up after hearing this, his eyes full of excitement. However, he politely maintained a distance from the two girls.
The gardens of all the mansions are similar, except for flowers and plants, there are pavilions, rockeries and flowing water. What's more, the three of them were not thinking about it, so they walked for a while and then stopped in unison. (To be continued. If you like this work
