On a sunny afternoon, he and Gu Xiyu met unexpectedly in the garden. He told his feelings affectionately, and Gu Xiyu lowered her head shyly, and then said softly, "Cousin
I like you too".
He never thought that when that day came, her reaction would be like this...
"Cousin Zheng, have you finished what you want to say?" Ye Qinglan asked calmly.
Zheng Junyan nodded dejectedly, his heart falling straight into the bottomless valley. It was cold and empty.
"Please forgive my presumptuous words." Ye Qinglan said politely: "Cousin Xiyu is very emotional right now. If Cousin Zheng doesn't mind, you might as well leave first. I'll stay with Cousin Xiyu here and go back later.
"
Zheng Junyan took a deep breath, cheered up and nodded. Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Xiyu reluctantly. The sadness and loneliness in his black eyes were extremely obvious.
Ye Qinglan couldn't bear to see it, and sighed softly and said: "What belongs to you cannot be taken away by others. What does not belong to you cannot be forced. Cousin Zheng, please take care of yourself!"
After hearing these two words, Zheng Junyan trembled slightly, resisted the urge to look back, and finally left.
Ye Qinglan had no time to care about Zheng Junyan's reaction and quickly looked down at Gu Xiyu.
Like an overly frightened deer, Gu Xiyu buried her head tightly in her arms, as if that was the safest place in the world.
This is the most common reaction of autistic people when they are frightened. Ye Qinglan sighed secretly and tried her best to soften her voice: "Cousin Xiyu and cousin Zheng have left. There are only two of us here now, you don't have to be afraid anymore,
Please raise your head, okay?"
Gu Xiyu raised her head aggrievedly, her big eyes flashing with water: "He just touched my hand, I was so scared!"
Seeing her aggrieved look, Ye Qinglan felt distressed and a little amused at the same time, and gently comforted her: "He was also impulsive just now, so he was so reckless. Now he has regretted it and knows that it was wrong to do so.
I will never do this again in the future. Don’t take it to heart.” After a pause, he reminded: “Only the two of us know what happened just now, so don’t tell others, okay?”
Gu Xiyu hesitated for a moment: "Can't you tell me even the eldest brother?"
Ye Qinglan nodded affirmatively.
A trace of confusion appeared in Gu Xiyu's eyes: "Why?" She never hid anything from her elder brother.
Of course, it had to be hidden from Gu Xinian. If Gu Xinian knew that Zheng Junyan and Gu Xiyu met in private, it would be strange not to be angry. Ye Qinglan thought for a while and explained in the most straightforward terms: "Cousin Gu has always loved you. If
He knows that Cousin Zheng has offended you. He will definitely be angry with Cousin Zheng. Maybe he will go to Cousin Zheng to settle the score, which will definitely be very embarrassing. You don’t want to see the two of them quarreling!"
Gu Xiyu couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Only then did Ye Qinglan feel relieved, let go of Gu Xiyu, sat opposite her, and asked tentatively: "Cousin Xiyu, will you regret rejecting Cousin Zheng just now? Don't rush to answer me yet.
Think about it carefully. If Cousin Zheng marries another woman in the future...for example, Sixth Sister, would you feel a little uncomfortable?"
Gu Xiyu thought for a long time, and then replied: "No."
That's good! Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Gu Xiyu has no feelings for Zheng Junyan at all, it is a good thing to reject it quickly so that Zheng Junyan will not always think about it. Moreover, looking at this posture, it is very likely that Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan will get engaged. For the sake of Ye Qingning's future happiness,
, it would be better to resolve this matter as early as possible.
Before the luncheon started, Mo Xiang and Rui Xue came over. From a distance, they saw their heads leaning together and whispering, and couldn't help but smile at each other. There may be a real destiny between people. Who would have thought that the lonely and introverted
Will Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan get along so harmoniously?
"Miss, the luncheon is about to begin." Mo Xiang walked over with a smile: "Madam has ordered your servant to call you over!"
Gu Xiyu nodded reluctantly. Thinking of going back to face so many people, she reflexively had the urge to shrink back.
Ye Qinglan knew her thoughts well, but he didn't reveal it. He smiled and took her hand, and they went back to the main hall together.
At this time, all the male guests had arrived in the dining room next door, leaving only Mrs. Zheng and a few others.
Gu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a little. She stood next to Mrs. Zheng meekly. Mrs. Zheng looked at her lovingly and asked in a low voice: "Where did you and Sister Lan go just now?"
Gu Xiyu whispered: "In the garden." She firmly remembered Ye Qinglan's instructions and did not mention Zheng Junyan.
Seeing that her expression was not yet calm, Mrs. Zheng was very pleased and did not ask any further questions.
Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile and said kindly: "Xiyu, when you have time in the future, you might as well come and play more. Your uncle and I are always thinking about you."
Gu Xiyu timidly forced out a small smile. Although she didn't speak, she was not rude.
Mrs. Xu's heart moved secretly. She couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyu a few more times, and then smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "Xiyu is much more cheerful these days." She was the one who made Gu Xiyu lose her composure that time in the British palace.
The memory is still fresh. I thought that Gu Xiyu would definitely not come this time, but I didn't expect that Gu Xiyu not only came, but also performed so well that people couldn't help but admire her with admiration.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng was naturally happy and responded with a smile: "Yes, it's all thanks to Sister Lan. She has been accompanying Yu'er in the house these days. Yu'er has a playmate, and she is more cheerful than before.
Too much."
Mrs. Xu said "Oh" and looked at Ye Qinglan naturally.
Ye Qinglan kept a gentle and decent smile and let Mrs. Xu look at her. Although it is king to keep a low profile, sometimes it is bad to show off some limelight. Her chips are pitifully small, so she can only use them slowly.
This way you accumulate strength for yourself.
"How old are you this year?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile. Her tone was not very enthusiastic, and even felt a bit condescending.
Ye Qinglan secretly complained in her heart. But on her face, she responded respectfully: "To answer my aunt's question, I am twelve years old this year."
Is she only twelve years old? Mrs. Xu was a little surprised. This girl has an indescribable temperament, which is different from the noble and reserved noble ladies of the capital such as Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu, but she is more calm.
There was a hint of approval in Mrs. Xu's eyes.
It was time for the luncheon, and everyone followed Mrs. Xu to the small side hall. There were two separate seats here, the elders sat in one and the young girls sat in the other.
Ye Qinglan happened to be sitting between Gu Xiyu and Ye Qingning. Opposite were three girls, one of whom was Zheng Min whom they met last time.
Zheng Min couldn't forget the accident that happened last time. She glanced at Gu Xiyu quietly and then looked away. She only concentrated on talking to the two girls from the Zheng family. On such occasions, Gu Xiyu never spoke.
Ye Qinglan then quietly chatted with Ye Qingning for a few words.
"Sister Ten, Sister Qiao will be one year old in a few days, you should come back by now!" When Ye Qingning said this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyu.
Ye Qinglan smiled and hummed, and deliberately joked: "No wonder you have lost so much weight. It turns out that it is because you miss me too much."
Ye Qingning was amused and rolled his eyes at her. But there was nothing but intimacy in his expression.
The dishes were naturally very exquisite and delicious, but the young girls at the table only ate some and then stopped using their chopsticks. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to endure the pain and put down her chopsticks. No wonder the girls she saw were all frail and thin, and only ate such a small amount at every meal.
, it is strange to be able to gain weight.
The banquet was dismissed and tea, cakes and fruits were served.
The female family members were chatting together, and the girls were naturally divided into two groups.
I don’t know what Zheng Min said in a low voice. The other two girls looked at Gu Xiyu frequently, their eyes were quite strange. It was like looking at a monster...
What Gu Xiyu feared the most in her life was this kind of gaze. Her body trembled slightly unconsciously, and her pretty face turned pale.
Ye Qinglan secretly thought that something was wrong, so she hurriedly came over and whispered a few words of comfort: "They have rarely seen you before, so they are curious about you. It is inevitable to look at you more. If you don't like it, don't look at them."
Gu Xiyu nodded lightly. Although her expression was still a little panicked, she finally managed to hold on without losing her composure.
Ye Qinglan saw this and felt extremely happy.
This trip was a great test for Gu Xiyu. It was also the best time to test the effect of the treatment these days. Gu Xiyu's performance was much better than she imagined.
As long as she can bravely take this step and overcome the obstacles in her heart, Gu Xiyu will definitely get better and better in the future!
After a while, Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "While we are talking here, you might as well go to the garden and walk around casually, so as not to be so formal here, which will make you feel uncomfortable and make us look awkward."
This was what everyone wanted, so they hurriedly stood up and agreed. Then they walked out of the side hall together.
Among the six girls, Ye Qingning was the oldest in terms of age, and Gu Xiyu was the most noble in terms of status. Naturally, they did not take the concubine Zheng Min seriously. Zheng Min and the other two girls of the same race obviously felt that they were incompatible with them, and they had a tacit understanding.
He walked a little faster. After a while, he left the three of them far behind.
Ye Qingning snorted unhappily.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu didn't mind, as it would be nice to have some peace of mind without the three of them.
Ye Qingning often came to Zheng Guogong's mansion and was very familiar with the environment. He couldn't bear to follow them from a distance, so he simply led Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu onto another quiet path.
After walking a few steps, I saw a huge rockery and a small pool next to the rockery. The scenery was superb.
Ye Qinglan was about to speak when she suddenly heard faint voices coming from the rockery.

This month has finally reached the last day. I update 6,000 words every day, which is really tiring and tiring. Xiaoqing is not a full-time writer. She has to work and take care of her children every day. If she wants to squeeze in time to type, she has to sacrifice her lunch break.
and evening time. This month, almost all my free time has been used to code, and there is no time to go out and play. Including this May Day holiday~~~~~(_
