Chapter 80, *beep*, the "good guy card"!
Wei Dongning shook her head slightly: "You can eat it, I can get it."
Xiao Wu's guess was completely wrong.
Just for Gu Peiyan's face, she could forgive him even if he offended her.
Who can blame her for being a sucker for good looks?
Apart from her occasional bad temper, Gu Peiyan is exactly what she looks like.
Especially his long, slender fingers, straight nose, prominent Adam's apple, and well-defined abs...
Wei Dongning was lost in thought for a moment, and Xiao Wu couldn't stand it anymore: "Ningbao, hurry up and stop drooling."
If she keeps thinking about it, it might get blocked.
Wei Dongning awkwardly took a sip of soup, suppressing the strange thoughts in her mind.
She had almost forgotten that Xiao Wu could know what she was thinking.
Fortunately, Gu Peiyan didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise she would have wanted to disappear into a hole in the ground.
In front of Gu Peiyan, she had always been seen as an innocent and pure girl (as she called herself).
He would never have guessed that she was actually a big, shrewish girl inside.
"Don't think like that. Actually, you two are two of a kind," Xiao Wu's resentful voice came again. "You're both yellow when you cut yourselves open."
It can't forget that time it stayed up all night and saw someone secretly washing their pants in the middle of the night.
It finally understands why people say you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people.
When it comes to coveting each other's good looks, they are exactly the same.
And they were all kept hidden, so the other party didn't find out.
Wei Dongning was struggling with the meatballs that Gu Peiyan had put on her plate.
The moment her chopsticks touched it, the meatball rolled to the other side as if it had grown legs.
Wei Dongning is also a stubborn person.
She refused to believe she wouldn't be able to eat this meatball today.
Her busy work didn't stop her from bickering with Xiao Wu: "Likewise, your little system knows quite a lot too. Turn off the screen, I don't want to watch anymore."
On the electronic screen, the punishment of those human traffickers had reached its final stage.
The screen full of mosaics made Wei Dongning lose interest in watching.
According to the laws of Da'an, they should be executed.
Even their families will be implicated.
The mosaic is located on the limbs of those people, which gives you an idea of what kind of punishment they suffered.
The expressions on those people's faces were a bit too ferocious, which slightly affected her appetite.
Wei Dongning turned her head and glanced at Gu Peiyan again.
Ok.
He's more appealing to people with his looks.
Looking back at the carriage of the Gu family mansion, Gu Peiyan stared at Wei Dongning for a long time.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Gu Peiyan smiled and withdrew her gaze: "You're allowed to look at me all day, but I'm not allowed to look at you for even a moment? Madam is quite domineering."
Did you eat something wrong today?
These are words he would never normally say.
Wei Dongning was not quite used to it.
Gu Peiyan found that sometimes she really couldn't understand Wei Dongning's thought process.
The words I wanted to say swirled in my throat, but I swallowed them back down.
If she continued, he was afraid he would choke to death.
After leaving the Marquis's residence, Su Yizhuo had absolutely no desire to return to that square palace.
Going back would mean facing those official duties that he found dreadful.
It's more comfortable to just stroll around outside.
"Your Highness, we still need to go back and report to the Imperial Concubine," a guard accompanying Su Yizhuo reminded him.
They've been wandering around outside for quite a while now.
If we don't go back soon, the Imperial Concubine will probably get anxious.
Su Yizhuo acted as if he hadn't heard and continued walking forward.
The young guard was so anxious he was scratching his head, but he didn't dare leave Su Yizhuo behind, so he had no choice but to follow in his footsteps.
"The Second Prince?"
Zhong Shuyue saw a somewhat familiar figure pass by and hesitantly called out.
Unexpectedly, the person who had just walked past actually stopped.
He glanced back at her and asked, "You are... Zhong Shuyue?"
"it's me!"
Zhong Shuyue was somewhat surprised.
She thought Su Yizhuo had long forgotten her.
I didn't expect him to still remember.
"Why aren't you at home? What are you doing out here?"
"Ugh..." Zhong Shuyue pouted, "I don't want to stay at home."
Su Yizhuo unconsciously frowned, as if looking at a child who had run away from home: "What's the reason?"
"It's boring, I don't want to stay."
Zhong Shuyue was filled with regret at that moment.
She was just strolling around happily, she only called out to him when she had nothing better to do.
As a result, he received a completely unnecessary lecture.
She ran away to escape her father's lecturing.
Su Yizhuo had drunk some wine during dinner, and the cold wind made his head ache a little: "I'll take you home first."
"I do not want!"
"If you can't give a reason, then hurry home. Aren't you afraid your parents will worry?"
Zhong Shuyue pouted and muttered softly, "They wouldn't."
If they had cared about her more, she wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
However, Su Yizhuo's gaze did look very oppressive, and Zhong Shuyue still reluctantly spoke up: "I want to go back to my maternal grandparents' house, but it's too far away, and my parents don't agree."
She has spent every Chinese New Year at her maternal grandparents' house since she was a child.
This is the first time I've stayed in Beijing for the Spring Festival this year, but my heart is always with my maternal grandparents.
No matter how much she pleaded, the Zhong couple refused, citing the long distance and the inconvenience of returning.
In a fit of anger, she ran away from home.
Su Yizhuo was a little unsure how to react to this situation.
He had lived two lives and seen many storms, but he had never seen a runaway child.
We sent it back, but the person involved refused.
If I don't send it back, my conscience won't allow it.
If he were facing a boy, he could have his guards chop him down with a single blow.
But the girl in front of him was delicate and pretty, so even if his hands were itching, he had to clench his fists and hold back.
Have you eaten yet?
"Ate."
Su Yizhuo sighed, "That's good. Would you like to do some shopping?"
"Your Highness..."
The guard wanted to remind him, but he raised his hand to stop him: "It's alright. Miss Zhong is the princess consort that my father has assigned to me, and my mother won't say anything."
Zhong Shuyue murmured, "Thank you."
The sound was too soft, and Su Yizhuo didn't hear it clearly.
He squinted and asked again, "What did you say?"
"I said, could you come with me to Guangning Temple for a stroll?"
Zhong Shuyue looked at Su Yizhuo expectantly.
Even if you can't go back to pay New Year's respects to your maternal grandparents, it's still good to go to the temple to pray for their well-being.
Su Yizhuo looked up at the sky, hesitating for a moment: "Now?"
"Is that not allowed?"
It's almost sunset; if they go now, they definitely won't be back before dark.
"It's getting late."
Upon hearing Su Yizhuo's words, the light in Zhong Shuyue's eyes gradually dimmed.
My nose started to sting.
Su Yizhuo sighed again: "I will pick you up at the Zhong residence at 9:00 AM tomorrow."
Zhong Shuyue blinked, and a round tear slid down her cheek: "Really?"
"Really. So can we go home now?"
"Good! Second Prince, you are a good person."
Su Yizhuo's temple throbbed twice, and he swallowed back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth.
If Ningning heard that he had been friend-zoned, she would probably laugh herself to death.
