Mrs. Zheng composed herself and said in a loud voice: "First of all, Mr. Shen, please come to the main hall to sit for a while. I will go there in a moment." The maid responded and withdrew.
Mrs. Zheng sat in silence for a moment, her mind in confusion. She couldn't figure out what Gu Xiyu's reaction was. However, now is not the time to pursue the case. The most important thing is how to deal with this uninvited Shen Chang'an. right……
Gu Xiyu didn't say a word, and Ye Qinglan also knew what was going on and didn't say anything. The room was silent.
After a long while, Mrs. Zheng finally stood up, took a deep breath, and said with a tragic expression as if she was about to go to the battlefield: "Yu'er, Sister Lan, come with me!"
Ye Qinglan didn't hold back at all, and almost burst into laughter. Fortunately, she quickly calmed down her expression, pulled Gu Xiyu, and followed Mrs. Zheng to the main hall.
The moment Mrs. Zheng entered the main hall, she put on a decent and upright smile.
Shen Changan sat for a long time and drank two cups of tea. He was impatient to wait for a long time. If another mansion had neglected him like this, he would have left angrily. But now, he couldn't bear to move and would rather do it. Sitting here waiting eagerly. Even if there is no chance of seeing Gu Xiyu, just thinking of taking another step closer to her like this makes my heart feel hot.
This feeling was really wonderful and fresh. He had never experienced it before in his life. But it was so wonderful that it was incredible. Just thinking of those dark eyes made his heart beat uncontrollably.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Mrs. Zheng and three others had already come in. Shen Changan saw Gu Xiyu's delicate and graceful figure at one glance, and his heart beat like thunder. His mind went blank. At the same time, he felt that his whole body was light and airy, as if walking on the clouds. He was completely forgotten. Knowing where and when he was, he naturally forgot to stand up and salute.
Gu Xiyu kept her head lowered, but she was keenly aware of two scorching gazes falling closely on her body. However, she did not have the courage to look back, and her body tensed up unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan kept holding her hand, naturally aware of her nervousness and embarrassment, and squeezed it back in a soothing manner.
Gu Xiyu's hands were greasy with cold sweat. Ye Qinglan's hands were clean and warm.
Gu Xiyu felt an inexplicable reassuring force coming from the palm of her hand, and her mind gradually calmed down, but she still did not raise her head to look at Shen Changan.
Shen Changan's devastated look was naturally very dazzling in Mrs. Zheng's eyes. She deliberately coughed lightly.
Shen Changan came back to his senses, stood up hurriedly and said with a smile, "I've met my aunt."
What are you talking about? Who is your aunt?
Mrs. Zheng snorted secretly in her heart, but her face was very polite: "Young Master Shen, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat."
After everyone sat down, the maids refilled the tea. Shen Changan drank two cups in a row before. He could still drink it, holding it in his hand to show off: "Auntie, isn't Xinian still in the house today? I I looked for him yesterday, but he wasn't there."
Everyone present knew what his purpose was.
When it comes to pretentiousness, Shen Changan is no match for Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng said with a faint smile: "Xinian is busy these days. He runs out every day and I haven't even seen him a few times. Mr. Shen has been here for two days in a row. I'm really sorry that my attempt was in vain." The words "two days in a row" were emphasized intentionally or unintentionally, and a touch of sarcasm was revealed.
Fortunately, Shen Changan was thick-skinned enough, so he didn't take this harmless sarcasm to heart. Hearing this, he grinned and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. If it's been in vain for two days, then I'll come back tomorrow. "
…
Ye Qinglan tried her best to hold back her laughter. Shen Changan knew how to beat snakes with a stick, and he was a bit of a rogue!
Mrs. Zheng was also speechless. I have never seen such a thick-skinned person...
The corners of Gu Xiyu's lips raised slightly, and she quietly raised her eyes to glance at Shen Chang'an. Shen Chang'an was not the frail and beautiful man popular nowadays. His skin was not white enough, and he was too tall and strong. At first glance, he looked like a martial arts practitioner all year round. But he smiled. When he was young, he had a strange cheerfulness and brightness. His thick black eyebrows and big eyes made him look very brave and handsome.
For the first time in her life, she felt that besides her eldest brother Gu Xinian, there were other men who also had good-looking smiles.
Shen Changan glanced over inadvertently, and happened to meet Gu Xiyu's eyes in the air. A touch of surprise flashed across his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became bright and hot again.
Just like that day, she met him in the garden, and he looked at her like this!
Gu Xiyu's heart throbbed quietly, and she suddenly didn't dare to look at Shen Changan anymore, and quickly looked away. This shyness and nervousness were both familiar and a little strange. It seemed to be the same as the panic when meeting a stranger. There’s something different about being uneasy…
How dare you stare at Yu'er in front of her! The fire in Mrs. Zheng's heart rose again, and she said lightly: "Mr. Shen, this is my little girl, you probably haven't seen her yet!"
Chief Shen of the Security Department was so focused on Gu Xiyu that he did not hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Zheng's words at all, and responded without thinking: "I met Sister Gu in the Queen's garden the other day."
Sister Gu? Mrs. Zheng's eyes turned cold, and she said with a half-smile: "Oh? That's a coincidence!" As expected, he was a vulgar martial artist who didn't know etiquette. He was neither a relative nor a friend and had only met once. My sister actually screamed loudly!
Shen Changan still didn't know that he was rude and continued to smile: "Yeah, I think it's a coincidence too."
He deeply believed that this was a gift from God and the fate between him and Gu Xiyu!
Ye Qinglan glanced at Shen Chang'an sympathetically. Sure enough, men who are in love have negative IQs? Didn't he see that Mrs. Zheng's face was already ugly? Not to mention that in ancient times, when there were serious ethical barriers between men and women, Even in modern times, when the mother of the girl she likes meets, she must not talk about her brother or sister. Parents will never feel happy hearing this, they will only think that the boy is too frivolous.
Obviously, Mrs. Zheng thinks so too.
Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath and secretly reminded herself that she must never lose her temper and chase someone away on the spot. This kind of thing is really rude and disrespectful. She can't argue with a vulgar martial artist...
After reciting it silently in her mind several times, Mrs. Zheng's expression became calmer and she said politely and politely: "Master Shen, please sit down for a moment. I have some things to deal with."
If you are sensible, it is time to stand up and say goodbye.
It's a pity that Shen Chang'an has lived for twenty years and has never learned to read people's faces and act accordingly. He immediately responded with a smile: "Auntie, although you are busy, I will just sit here and wait for Brother Gu to come back."
…
Mrs. Zheng could no longer hold on to her smile. She barely squeezed out a few words, "Young Master Shen, please help yourself." Then she got up and left.
As soon as she left, Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan naturally had to leave with her.
Shen Changan stared at Gu Xiyu's back infatuatedly, almost reluctant to blink. Although the two of them didn't even exchange a word, maybe sitting face to face like this for a while and looking at each other for a few times was a great happiness for him.
Gu Xiyu didn't look back, but she could still feel the two blazing eyes looking at her. Somehow, she didn't hate such eyes at all, and she even slowly became excited and happy.
It's like a small trembling flower blooming in a deserted field. Although it is not delicate or very beautiful, it is a signal that spring is coming.
Gu Xiyu's good mood was obvious.
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu's side face with great interest, her big watery eyes exuding the shyness of a girl, and the corners of her slightly raised lips showing the brightness of a girl. Her mood suddenly improved.
It seemed that Gu Xiyu did have a good impression of Shen Changan. Otherwise, with Gu Xiyu's temperament, she would never take the initiative to see him, let alone look at him secretly.
Mrs. Zheng returned to the inner room with a sullen face, and then looked at Gu Xiyu, but was startled by the light and bright smile on Gu Xiyu's face. The tone she originally intended to question suddenly changed: "Yu'er, you...you Are you happy now?"
Gu Xiyu is a very honest and good child who never hides her inner thoughts. So, she nodded honestly: "Yes."
Mrs. Zheng opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Her heart was in confusion. A series of thoughts passed through her mind, but in the end, she only settled on one sentence.
Yu'er actually took the initiative to meet Shen Chang'an, and she seemed calm and happy after meeting him!
What does this mean? How could Mrs. Zheng, who has been through this before, not understand?
God, how could it be like this! Yu'er...the delicate daughter she held in her palms and cared for while growing up, how could she have a crush on such a reckless and vulgar martial artist?
It was nothing more than a bolt from the blue!
Mrs. Zheng stood there blankly, saying nothing for a long time.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and advised tactfully: "Auntie, don't be too surprised, cousin Xiyu is also thirteen years old." Judging from the precocious puberty of ancient women, it was already late enough for Gu Xiyu to "enlighten".
Mrs. Zheng stroked her forehead and sighed. Of course she understood what Ye Qinglan meant, and she had been secretly looking forward to the day when her daughter shyly told her that she had a sweetheart. But... how could the person who walked into her eyes be Shen Changan!!!
No, she must ask carefully.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ye Qinglan subconsciously. Although Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were close friends and sisters, it was inappropriate for Ye Qinglan to be present at such a critical moment.
Ye Qinglan, always smart and knowledgeable, immediately smiled and said: "Auntie must have something to say to cousin Xiyu alone. I'll go out for a while."
Mrs. Zheng nodded.
Gu Xiyu was startled and said reflexively: "Don't leave." She was used to being inseparable from Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan smiled reassuringly and said, "I'm right outside and won't go far."
Gu Xiyu said nothing and watched Ye Qinglan leave. Then her mother's slightly serious voice sounded in her ears: "Yu'er, tell me honestly now, what is going on between you and Shen Chang'an?"
