Chapter 137 Scaring Children
To avoid accidentally letting something slip, Xiao Wu quickly entered the operating space and sealed away the memory about pain shielding when Wei Dongning's attention shifted away from it.
It is very self-aware.
Noticing that Xiao Wu hadn't made a sound for a long time, Wei Dongning became suspicious: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing. I just went back to the Time Travel Bureau, and that heartless guy said I deserved it. I'm going to complain to my dad and ask him to give him more orders."
"Oh~" Wei Dongning believed it and remembered who it was talking about. She then teased, "I wonder who it was that said last time that the person who bought it for you wouldn't be a black-hearted person? How come they changed their tune so quickly?"
"Hmph, I was too young back then to be moved by the petty favors of a bad person. Now I understand, if a man can be relied on, pigs can fly."
Wei Dongning suppressed a laugh as she looked at the "pig" beside her, wondering if he would break down if he heard his "eldest daughter" call him a pig.
Gu Peiyan noticed her gaze and tilted her head slightly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Wei Dongning smiled and shook her head, offering no explanation for her earlier actions. Instead, she asked him a question: "Am I spoiling Xiao Wu too much by forgiving it so easily?"
Gu Peiyan assumed that she was happy because she had found Xiao Wu, which was why she couldn't help but keep smiling.
He fed her a peeled chestnut, saying, "It's quite sweet, you should try it."
He waited until she ate the chestnut before answering her question: "No, as long as it realizes its mistake in time, that's fine."
Wei Dongning then contentedly popped the peeled chestnuts into her mouth one by one.
She loves eating chestnuts, but she just doesn't like peeling them.
If she didn't have a handy knife at hand, she'd rather drool over the chestnuts than just put them in her mouth and bite them open.
She found it too much trouble.
Moreover, the flesh that is peeled out that way is not intact.
After discovering it once, Gu Peiyan took the initiative to take on the task of peeling the skin for her.
Xiao Wu found this unbelievable: "Ningbao, how did you raise him like this? Teach me! I want to hear it too."
Or you could have Gu Peiyan start a class.
When it gets a boyfriend, it will be sent over to Gu Peiyan for training.
She would be satisfied as long as she could do even half of what he did.
Wei Dongning chewed on the soft, sweet chestnuts, shaking her head with an air of nonchalance: "Those who are willing don't need to be taught, and why bother teaching those who aren't? It's a waste of breath."
In fact, what Wei Dongning wanted to say was that she had never taught Gu Peiyan these things, nor had she ever forced him to do them.
"That's because Gu Peiyan cares about you. Do you think he would do so much if it were someone else?"
You have a point.
"I keep you in my heart, and you keep me in your pocket. With you by my side, my life has been worthwhile."
Wei Dongning leaned on Gu Peiyan's shoulder with a look of disgust, enjoying his feeding, and occasionally feeding him a couple of pieces herself.
However, he was unyielding in words: "Your social commentary is too out of place with your image; you'd better not say it."
"You have the same sharp tongue as that black-hearted guy."
“Oh my darling, you’ve misunderstood me.” Wei Dongning generously placed a chestnut in front of Xiao Wu: “I have a sweet tongue because I’ve eaten a lot of sweet chestnuts.”
Xiao Wu tilted his head: "Why does your tone sound so much like... you're not going to stage a dramatic 'false saliva' performance when you get home, are you?"
It was obvious that Wei Dongning had also figured out which TV series Xiao Wu was referring to.
The chestnuts in my hand suddenly didn't taste so good anymore.
After finishing the last few chestnuts in her hand, Wei Dongning took out her handkerchief to wipe her mouth and interrupted Gu Peiyan's chestnut-peeling actions: "I'm not eating anymore."
"What's wrong? You were enjoying your meal just now."
"I'm a bit full, and chestnuts are hard to digest. I'm worried about missing dinner."
Gu Peiyan thought about it carefully, and what she said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
She then stopped what she was doing and put the chestnuts she had just peeled, which she no longer wanted, into her mouth.
Gu Song also knew that Xiao Wu was missing.
Even after Qian Rong told him that someone had seen Xiao Wu get into Gu Shuang's carriage, he was still not entirely at ease.
I kept thinking, what if that person was mistaken?
When Gu Peiyan and Wei Dongning set off for the estate, if he didn't have other matters to attend to, he would have considered going with them.
That little guy is so pretty and well-behaved, he wouldn't be able to bear losing him.
Fortunately, not long after they left, the coachman entrusted by Gu Shuang hurried back.
As soon as he returned, he told Gu Song the news.
This finally put Gu Song's mind at ease: "That's good, that's good. You've worked hard, go back and rest."
As soon as the coachman turned to leave, Gu Song immediately instructed his attendants, "When Ayan and the others return, tell them I'm in the study."
He needed to see Xiao Wu return with his own eyes before he could be completely at ease.
After all, no one knows whether Xiao Wu will sneak out during this period.
"Yes, sir."
When Xiao Wu was carried by Gu Peiyan into Gu Song's study, the cat was completely bewildered: "How come even Master Gu was alerted?"
"Didn't you say you were the darling of this family? Now it's proven true."
"Oh no, I feel even more guilty now." Xiao Wu's head drooped again.
Wei Dongning reached out and ruffled its fluffy head: "The matter has already happened and been resolved. You have also realized your mistake, so I will forgive you this time."
When they entered Gu Song's study, he was sitting there, looking serious and writing something.
Hearing the door open, he wrote a few more words before putting down his brush.
He took Xiao Wu from Gu Peiyan's arms and gently tapped its nose twice with his finger: "You're not allowed to run away anymore. There are big bad wolves outside. A little thing like you could be bitten to death in one bite."
Wei Dongning wanted to laugh but dared not.
Gu Songming was clearly trying to scare Xiao Wu like a child.
She moved closer to Gu Peiyan, whispering to him, "Did you ever hear such things used to scare children when you were a child?"
“No,” Gu Peiyan answered decisively. “I have never run away from home.”
The implication is that his father had no chance to scare him at all.
But Wei Dongning was also a little curious after hearing this: "Have you never had a rebellious thought like this before?"
Gu Peiyan thought back carefully. Apart from being a little mischievous for a few years when he was young, he had been studying and preparing for exams day after day for more than ten years. When he got a little older, he also took on the responsibility of housekeeper.
So he didn't have the time or the energy to think about rebellion.
In his spare time, he would at most ask Fang Zirui to go out for a stroll.
Thinking about it this way, it really does seem rather dull and boring.
Wei Dongning could guess what he would say: "It's alright, after the spring banquet, we can choose a day to go out for a spring outing. I'll show you around."
