Chapter 216 Surprise or Shock?
"I wouldn't be jealous over such trivial matters," Gu Peiyan said calmly, turning her gaze away.
"Oh, I thought you were upset because I was ahead of you in line."
"It's alright, but it's rare to hear him say thank you first, which I find a bit strange."
"After all, it was because I told Xiaofu to stay home that you thought of letting him rest for a day, so shouldn't he thank me?"
"you're right."
Wei Dongning gave Gu Peiyan a haughty "humph" and patted him on the shoulder twice: "Young man, learn more from me, I guarantee you will improve even more in the future."
Without waiting for his reply, she took the lead and walked ahead of him.
Who knows, this feeling of showing off is really awesome.
Gu Peiyan lowered her head and chuckled helplessly, then quickened her pace to catch up with her.
When the two entered Gu Song's courtyard, Gu Song had just finished practicing a set of health-preserving boxing.
Wei Dongning only needed to see his finishing move to know that Wei Liangzhe must have taught him this.
Recently, Gu Peiyan hasn't mentioned the argument between her two fathers when she goes home, so it seems their relationship has been quite harmonious lately.
When she gets back tonight, she'll have to ask Xiao Wu.
As for the daytime, let it continue to make up for the emotional damage suffered in the past two days.
Gu Song hadn't expected them to arrive so early. Seeing them come in, he put his hands behind his back, looking rather embarrassed, and said, "You're here. Let's go have breakfast."
Gu Shuang received the news that they were coming today early in the morning, and she was so happy that she ate her breakfast much faster than usual.
Worried that she might choke, the maid quickly poured her some tea: "Master and the others won't be here this early, please eat slowly, Madam."
"You have no idea how happy I am." Gu Shuang couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "They've all been so busy lately, I haven't seen them in ages."
Since her divorce from her ex-husband, Gu Shuang's spirits have been getting better and better. Especially after she stopped caring about those two ungrateful people, she spends her days enriching herself and is incredibly happy every day.
The only downside is that although she has no worries about food and clothing and doesn't have to do everything herself, she inevitably feels a bit lonely after a while, being alone here all the time.
When she received the news that they were coming today, her appetite was much better than it had been recently.
Unsure when they would arrive, she ate quickly, hoping to get to the gate of the estate early so she could see them as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the carriage didn't keep Gu Shuang waiting too long.
She waited at the door for no more than fifteen minutes before she saw the carriage slowly approaching.
Gu Shuang hurriedly went to greet her.
But when they saw that it was two horse-drawn carriages approaching, they were a little confused.
Could it be that I brought her something again?
But wasn't a batch just delivered the day before yesterday?
The servant who delivered the items said there was nothing else.
Gu Shuang's mind was racing, and she unconsciously slowed her pace slightly.
Gu Shuang only smiled when she saw Gu Song emerge from the first carriage, followed by Gu Peiyan and her husband from the second carriage.
So it turns out that his own brother was too lazy to watch the young couple being all lovey-dovey, so he took the initiative to ride in two separate carriages with them.
Wei Dongning walked quickly to Gu Shuang's side and took her arm: "Aunt, how have you been lately? Are you sleeping well? Are you eating well? Is the estate still lacking anything?"
“Yes, everything is fine. Look, all my clothes are brand new; my old ones don’t fit anymore.”
Gu Song also looked his younger sister over and nodded in satisfaction: "You've gained some weight, that's good. You look much better than when you were so frail."
"Yes, Auntie, as long as you can eat and sleep well, that's better than anything else."
With the Gu family's assets, let alone just changing a few new outfits, she could easily change her clothes every day.
"It's all because you guys are helping me out, otherwise I'd still be stuck in that pit."
"Let's not dwell on the unpleasant things of the past. Isn't it only right for a brother to support his sister? Do you really think..."
Gu Shuang felt a little embarrassed by Gu Song's words and quickly interrupted him, "Oh dear, I just got emotional for a moment. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's go inside."
Spring is more than halfway over, and the yard is no longer as bare as it was when they last came.
Wei Dongning looked around, planning that if she saw any pretty flowers, she would ask the gardener to plant some in her garden when she got home.
As she walked along the path, the crabapple blossoms on both sides almost reached Gu Peiyan's head.
Logically, these branches should have been cut shorter, but Gu Shuang thought they looked better this way, so she didn't ask the gardener to cut them too short.
Wei Dongning narrowed her eyes and whispered a few words to Gu Shuang's maid who was following behind them. The maid then hurriedly left.
Gu Peiyan only saw Wei Dongning call out to the maid, but didn't hear her give any instructions. She was a little curious: "What are you thinking about?"
"You'll see in a moment. Don't worry, I definitely won't cheat you."
Gu Peiyan was initially quite reassured, but after hearing her words, she felt a little uneasy.
Her words seemed to be a kind of foreshadowing.
It was as if she whispered in his ear, "Are you ready? I'm about to do something naughty."
The main thing is her expression; it's the same as every time she's about to do something bad.
This made him somewhat wary of her.
Of course, he was still looking forward to it.
Because both surprise and fright can bring him new experiences.
