Gu Xinian reacted very quickly and immediately held Ye Qinglan's shoulders: "Be careful!" He held on for a moment longer, intentionally or unintentionally, before letting go.
When Ye Qinglan was still in shock, she saw Gu Xinian taking advantage of the opportunity and glared at him without any trace. Then she quickly sat further away and resolutely kept her distance.
Gu Xinian was in a very good mood, and he magnanimously refused to argue with her. He even expressed mild concern: "Were you not scared just now?"
Ye Qinglan twitched her lips: "Thank you for your concern, Cousin Gu. I'm doing very well." She made up her mind to ignore him again and deliberately started gossiping with a few maids.
Gu Xinian sat aside leisurely, his eyes falling squarely on Ye Qinglan beside him.
Girls all love beauty, and Ye Qinglan is no exception. Although she didn’t dress up deliberately, the color of her dress matched perfectly. She wore a light green short skirt and a moon-white dress, revealing small embroidered shoes. Half of her long hair
Pulled up, there is a very simple orchid hairpin, the remaining hair hangs softly behind the ears, and a few naughty strands of hair hang down on the chest. It is as fresh and natural as the budding flowers on the branches.
It's not surprising at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.
Ye Qinglan didn't need to look back, but she could still notice the two eyes beside her. Somehow, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated a little, and her ears were a little red. But she forced herself to look calm on her face, talking to a few maids.
Keep chatting...
Well, she had to admit honestly that in the end, she didn't even know what she had said.
After finally reaching Duke Dingguo's mansion, the moment the carriage stopped, Ye Qinglan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiyu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Ye Qinglan, she greeted him happily: "I have been waiting for a long time, and you are finally here. I have been worried just now, really afraid that you will change your mind and refuse to come again.
!”
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, holding Gu Xiyu's hand with her backhand: "Since I promised to come, I will definitely not regret it." The two of them talked endlessly as soon as they met, and naturally ignored Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian casually interjected: "If you have anything to say, please wait for a while. We will go to Lengyue Pavilion to settle down first. Then we will go to Jingxinyuan to see my mother."
The two girls agreed in unison, then smiled at each other, and then walked in front hand in hand, naturally leaving Gu Xinian behind.
Gu Xinian, who had been completely ignored, felt a rare taste in his heart.
This girl didn't even give him a smile. She was very affectionate when she met her sister...
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but feel a little sad after entering the Duke Dingguo's mansion after a long absence. Thinking of the scene where she had a big fight with Gu Xinian and then left decisively a few months ago, it felt like it was a lifetime ago. At that time, she swore that she would never do it again.
She took a step into Duke Dingguo's mansion. But now, only half a year later, she was here again, and she was also ambiguously involved with Gu Xinian. Things are really unpredictable!
Gu Xiyu had obviously thought of what happened that day, and whispered cautiously: "Cousin Lan, don't worry, if my eldest brother bullies you again, I will definitely help you quarrel with him."
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly and joked: "Are you sure you can quarrel?" With Gu Xiyu's temperament, she was afraid that Gu Xinian would cry in grievance as soon as her face turned cold.
Gu Xiyu thought for a while and admitted honestly: "I really don't know how to quarrel. However, if I cry, my elder brother will soften his heart."
Ye Qinglan was amused and laughed. Her tense mood suddenly softened.
Gu Xinian followed leisurely. From a distance, no matter how sensitive his ears were, he couldn't hear clearly what the two of them were whispering. But looking at it from his angle, he could see Ye Qinglan's clean and bright smile.
Gu Xiyu's unabashed joy was there.
It is indeed the right choice to let her stay for a while. Perhaps, we should let her stay for a while before going back. Is it better to have two months or three months?
Ye Qinglan suddenly felt her ears itching, and immediately turned back and glanced at Gu Xinian. Humph, he must have been secretly speaking ill of her in his heart!
Gu Xinian caught her slightly coquettish look, and before he could react, he saw her quickly turning her head away.
The corners of Gu Xinian's lips raised slightly, and his eyes softened little by little.
Three maids, Hongluan Ying'er and Guiyuan, took the package to Lengyue Pavilion for placement. Ruixue followed Ye Qinglan to Jingxinyuan.
Mrs. Zheng had already received the news and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Lan, you are finally willing to come to the house as a guest again."
Facing such a gentle and kind smile, the last trace of hesitation in Ye Qinglan's heart disappeared completely, and she responded with a smile: "My aunt said that, it really made me ashamed and embarrassed. I used to be too willful and ignorant, so I
My aunt has caused so much trouble. This time she comes to the house to cause trouble. I hope she won’t find it too troublesome."
Mrs. Zheng pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as you are willing to come, I hope you stay here forever and never go back. Come, let's go in and talk." As she said that, she took the initiative to take Ye Qinglan's hand.
Ye Qinglan was a little flattered, but more of a feeling. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng are sisters. In terms of being smart and capable, Mrs. Zheng seems to be stronger. But in terms of being easy-going and kind, Mrs. Zheng is much better than Mrs. Zheng. Although Zheng
Madam treats herself so kindly mostly because of Gu Xiyu's face. But such a gentle and friendly attitude really makes people feel comfortable.
After entering the room and sitting down, Mrs. Zheng asked with concern about Ye Qinglan's current situation.
Ye Qinglan said something casually: "...My mother came back years ago, and my eldest brother and second sister have also returned to the capital. It is a bit more lively than before..."
Mrs. Zheng listened with a smile, a hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes. Ye Qinglan was a concubine, and her life would definitely not be as easy as before after her aunt came back. But she didn't mention a word, and this alone was enough to make people sit up and take notice.
However, Gu Xinian frowned and interrupted abruptly and asked: "Isn't your eldest brother going back to Zhengzhou?" He was busy dealing with the prince and the third prince these days, and had no time to pay attention to what was going on in Uncle Changyuan's house. He didn't know that Ye Yuanzhou had been
Staying in the capital and not leaving...
Ye Qinglan's smile did not diminish and she responded nonchalantly: "Eldest brother is currently studying in the Imperial College and will not return to Zhengzhou."
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened for a moment. The two looked at each other in the air for a moment, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Your eldest brother and Sister Min have made a marriage agreement. They will get married in about one or two years. Naturally, there is no need to go back to Zhengzhou."
Ye Qinglan smiled and responded casually.
After having dinner in Jing Xinyuan, Ye Qinglan followed Gu Xiyu back to Lengyue Pavilion. Gu Xinian naturally followed him.
There are two maids holding lanterns, one at the front and one at the front. The dim yellow lanterns emit a hazy light. Ye Qinglan's figure looks particularly graceful in the soft light. Occasionally she turns her head to talk to Gu Xiyu, her lines are incredibly soft.
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan silently, and there was an unspeakable commotion in his heart. Suddenly he missed the last time he held her slender waist tightly in his arms and enjoyed the wonderful taste of her red lips...
Lengyue Pavilion arrived soon. Gu Xiyu smiled and waved to Gu Xinian: "Brother, you must be tired after a long day of work. Go back and rest early. Cousin Lan and I are also going to bed."
Gu Xinian suddenly coughed: "It's not even midnight yet, so it's a bit early to go to bed. Why don't you go sit in the Lengyue Pavilion for a while."
Gu Xiyu: "..."
Big brother, it's really strange today. It's so late. What are you doing at Lengyue Pavilion?
Ye Qinglan quickly glanced at Gu Xinian, secretly guessing his intention. Under the cover of the night, Gu Xinian's face was a little blurry, but his eyes were much brighter than usual.
Ye Qinglan's heart moved slightly. A thought quickly flashed through her mind. Her cheeks suddenly felt a little hot and she gritted her teeth secretly. This stinky gangster was once again planning to find a chance to be alone with her and then take advantage... Huh! She wouldn't let him get his wish.
!
The three of them entered the Lengyue Pavilion with their own thoughts. The maids served tea and then left each other.
Ye Qinglan made up her mind not to speak, holding the hot tea and pretending to sip it, with the posture of "This tea is really delicious. I have never had such a good tea. No one should bother me, I want to concentrate on drinking tea."
Gu Xinian glanced at her and raised the corners of his lips. He slowly picked up the teacup and took a slow sip. He was worthy of being an aristocratic son who had experienced etiquette since he was a child. He moved with an elegance that ordinary people could not match.
It's an ordinary tea-drinking action, but it's also as pleasing to the eye as if it had been specially trained.
Ye Qinglan lowered her head and said nothing. He didn't speak either, and just drank tea slowly.
Gu Xiyu sat in the middle, watching the two of them blankly as if they were competing. After drinking two cups of tea, she suddenly said: "This is the new Biluochun this year. My eldest brother likes it so much. I will take it with me when I leave."
Take some and drink slowly when you go back."
Gu Xinian: "..."
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter, but before she could finish the sip of tea in her mouth, she choked and coughed several times, her pretty face turning red from holding back.
Gu Xiyu hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat her back, and said: "No matter how you drink tea, you will choke. By the way, I think you like this tea very much. When you go back in the future, take two boxes and drink it slowly."
"
This time, it was Gu Xinian's turn to laugh softly.
The dull and stagnant atmosphere before was gone, and I suddenly became much more relaxed.
Gu Xinian smiled casually and said: "Yu'er, a jade pendant I was wearing fell off a few days ago. I don't know if it was left with you. Can you go look for it for me?"
Gu Xiyu was startled and asked reflexively: "Is it that mutton-fat jade pendant?"
Gu Xinian hummed.
Ye Qinglan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. That piece of mutton-fat jade pendant, could it be the one he forced on her? From the name, it sounded like a very high-end product!
Sure enough, I heard Gu Xiyu say anxiously: "How can this be good? That jade pendant has been worn by you since you were a child. It is a family heirloom in the house, how could you lose it?" (To be continued.
