Seeing Gu Xiyan's serious expression, Xu Yanqing couldn't speak for a moment.
He knew that Gu Xiyan was a very serious person, but she was also soft-hearted. When Gu Xiyan said that Guan'er danced well, she really thought so and was not just talking politely.
He suddenly wondered if Gu Xiyan would still think Guan'er was a good dancer if she knew she was the flower girl of Baixianglou.
Coincidentally, just as he was thinking this, a young man wearing a lavender gown answered and said, "Miss Guan'er is the top star of Baixiang Tower. It's normal to dance well."
After the young master finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Xiyan in a tacit understanding, as if they all wanted to know what Gu Xiyan's reaction would be.
Gu Xiyan glanced at Zhou Mu beside her and saw that his expression was as usual.
She looked at the slim Guan'er again. Guan'er's eyes were clear and she was also looking at her.
At this moment, she felt that Guan'er was from a famous family more than the four sisters of the Liu family.
"The words I just used were not accurate." As soon as Gu Xiyan said this, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
Guan'er still stood, her eyes unchanged.
"Guan'er's dance is the best dance I have ever seen, bar none. I think it will never happen again in the future." Gu Xiyan said, smiling brightly at Guan'er.
Guan'er thought that Gu Xiyan would deny her dance, but when Gu Xiyan's words came out, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She knew that these noble gentlemen were interested in her body, and she was just an object in their eyes. They could enjoy her service by spending a little money.
She laughs, drinks, dances, sings, and even sells herself. The price is clearly marked. A woman like her is the most worthless.
She has long been accustomed to such a life of flesh and blood, and has long accepted her fate. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with being like this.
But at this moment, she knew that she was being treated like an ordinary person by Gu Xiyan.
"I also think Miss Guan'er danced well just now." Zhou Mu agreed softly.
The young man in purple who had just revealed Guan'er's identity suddenly felt his face heat up. It was obvious that he looked down on Guan'er, but he thought that Miss Gu would be like him and despised Guan'er after knowing her identity, but it turned out that he was despicable. Xu Yanqing raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Guan'er, "Miss Guan'er, I respect you for that dance just now."
He said and drank the wine in one gulp.
Guan'er smiled at him: "I want to sit next to Mr. Xu, is that okay?"
Xu Yanqing saw that Guan'er was not hiding her interest in him, so she hurriedly pushed Wang Yian out: "Sit next to Yi An, there is room for him."
Wang Yian was sitting next to Xu Yanqing. He took a deep look at Xu Yanqing and said, "If Miss Guan'er doesn't mind, come and sit next to me."
After that, Dong Yong became active, and Guan'er's episode was quickly forgotten.
Later, everyone played Fei Hua Ling. Gu Xiyan couldn't play the piano, calligraphy or painting, so naturally he wouldn't participate. Seeing that she didn't participate, Zhou Mu was not interested, not to mention he didn't like the eyes of the young masters present.
Gu Xiyan's face also showed a lack of interest.
While the dozen young men were playing with the Flying Flower Order, Zhou Mu took Gu Xiyan's hand and walked to the bow of the ship.
The snow was still falling and there was a strong wind in the river. Zhou Mu was afraid of freezing Gu Xiyan, so he wrapped her tightly in fur clothes, leaving only her pretty little face exposed.
"Is it cold?" Zhou Mu held the girl's little hand, and the warmth made him feel at ease.
"It's not cold. Do we really want to stay up late on the boat?" Gu Xiyan looked up at Zhou Mu.
The snowflakes fell softly, and a few snowflakes fell on Gu Xiyan's delicate eyebrows, quickly turning into water.
Zhou Mu was emotionally moved, and the moment he leaned over to kiss her, he met Xu Yanqing's deep gaze in the cabin.
His eyes darkened, and he took Gu Xiyan's hand and walked to the side, avoiding Xu Yanqing's jealous eyes.
"We agreed to stay up late this year. This is the first year we have known each other, so we can't give up halfway." Zhou Mu said, and added in a low voice: "I will drive away those people after they finish playing Feihua Order." p>
Gu Xiyan laughed dumbly: "Maybe we can go back to the Marquis Mansion to stay up late."
After all, they haven't gotten married yet, so if word spread about spending the night outside, they would only attract criticism.
"If it doesn't work, just stay up late on the boat." Zhou Mu insisted.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyan stopped wasting her words.
Zhou Mu was a wise man, and as expected, after those gentlemen finished playing a round of the game, he issued an order to expel them.
Xu Yanqing didn't want to leave, but he listened to Dong Yong's words.
Gu Xiyan is about to get married to Zhou Mu. It's shameful for him to stay. For Gu Xiyan's own good, he shouldn't be entangled anymore.
God knows that he has never been a kind person and has no sense of morality. He really wants to take things by force, but he still can't make such a determination, for fear that Gu Xiyan will hate him for it.
After returning to the original boat, Xu Yanqing also saw the scene of Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan standing hand in hand in the wind and snow.
The talented man and the beautiful woman are truly a match made in heaven.
While he was watching intently, Wang Yian stood beside him and said, "I finally understand why you have never forgotten Miss Gu."
A woman like Gu Xiyan is not just beautiful.
When a man looks at a woman, he looks at her appearance and figure, and Gu Xiyan has both. What is even more commendable is that Gu Xiyan is different from other noble ladies from aristocratic families. She is sincere, even though she has been isolated in Wanqinghou Mansion for these years.
, she still has a childish heart, which is the most touching thing.
Not to mention that Xu Yanqing likes it, but which of the young masters just now doesn't like it? It's just that some like Gu Xiyan's beauty, some like her figure, and some simply like the beauty in the hands of others.
"Stop your coveting, Xiyan is not one of those Yingying Yanyans of yours!" Xu Yanqing opened her lips coldly.
Wang Yian just smiled: "You are not Gu Xiyan's husband, why are you nervous?"
"Do you think Zhou Mu is easy? Do you think you can steal people from people like Zhou Mu?! I advise you not to have any ideas about Xi Yan, and don't provoke Zhou Mu!" Xu Yanqing warned coldly.
Wang Yi'an had some dirty thoughts. What normal man wouldn't want a beauty? But he just thought about it. After all, they were getting married, so he wouldn't be so confused.
"Are you saying this for yourself?" Wang Yian said with a half-smile.
Xu Yanqing glanced at him coldly and turned back to the cabin.
When the time came, Gu Xiyan finally understood why Zhou Mu insisted on staying up with her on the boat.
The night sky filled with snowflakes was illuminated by clusters of fireworks, as if they could pass through the endless sky, but finally fell into the pure white snowflakes.
Gu Xiyan has never seen such a vast and grand fireworks in her two lifetimes. Coupled with the beautiful weather, and the snowflakes as a foil, the night sky where the fireworks and snowflakes meet is both mysterious and romantic.
Gu Xiyan turned to look at Zhou Mu: "Is this specially prepared for me by the young master?"
