Opening the door of the courtyard, the moonlight was shining brightly outside. Fu Chengyu was standing there with his back to the door, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
The moment he turned his head, Gu Qing'er could only think of four words -
Arrived as promised.
The two of them were inside one door and the other was outside. After looking at each other quietly for a moment, Fu Chengyu said, "It's the New Year, right? This door is closed, who are you trying to guard against?"
Gu Qing'er pursed her lips and said, "The door is closed to prevent thieves."
"Oh?" Fu Chengyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are there many thieves here in Ancheng?"
Gu Qing'er glanced at him and replied: "A lot!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the courtyard. Fu Chengyu followed him in, closed the door behind his back, and then took another look at the deserted courtyard.
Although the yard is not popular, it has obviously been decorated for the New Year, but it is only superficial, because the moss in the yard has not been completely cleaned, and many details have an air of vacancy.
"Didn't you say there was a dinner party?" Fu Chengyu said, "Why is it so quiet?"
"Originally, there was." Gu Qing'er replied, "But you didn't come, so it's gone."
When she said this, she was still walking towards the backyard without looking back.
Fu Chengyu looked at her back, followed her all the way to the backyard, entered the room, then walked up to her and lowered his head to look at her appearance.
Gu Qing'er always lowered her eyes and avoided his sight.
Fu Chengyu then stretched out his hand and pulled her, "What? Are they making you angry?"
"No." Gu Qing'er replied, "I lost my temper and drove them all away."
Fu Chengyu laughed when he heard this, "You still lose your temper?"
Gu Qing'er looked up at him and said, "I have a very bad temper!"
"Oh." Fu Chengyu responded with a smile and said, "I'd like to see it if I have the chance."
Gu Qing'er stopped answering him, turned around and sat down on the chair in the room.
Fu Chengyu immediately sat down and then said again: "What happened? Is it very unpleasant?"
After a while, Gu Qing'er finally said: "They still want to sell this ancestral home."
After hearing this, Fu Chengyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He naturally knows how important this house is to the Gu family, or how important it is to Gu Qing'er——
Back then, the reason why Gu Qing'er appeared in front of him was firstly to reassure Mr. Gu before his death, secondly to save the restaurant "Linjiang" that Mr. Gu had worked hard for half his life, and thirdly to save this old house.
.
In her words, these are Mr. Gu's wishes, and they are also evidence of his existence.
She couldn't just watch these things disappear as Mr. Gu left. Death was like a light going out. She just wanted Mr. Gu's light to stay on——
At that time, he also told her that he could fulfill all of her wishes and that she did not need to get married.
But the request she made was that she didn't need anything, money, manpower, material resources. She didn't ask him for any of them, but just wanted to ask him for a status, even if it was empty.
She just wanted to use the false name of Mrs. Fu. She didn't need to hold a big banquet or advertise it widely. As long as she had it, it would be fine.
Thinking about it later, Fu Chengyu often felt that he might have been possessed by ghosts at that time. It was obviously a ridiculous thing, but he just agreed.
But at that time, no one thought that the relationship between them would become what it is now -
