At the same time, Dali Temple.

Yesterday, because he was delayed in rescuing people, Gu Huainian was unable to express his feelings to Fang Miao.

Gu Huainian tossed and turned all night long.

The next day, he first went to the Dali Temple and finished his work. When he had some free time, he felt a little anxious and uneasy.

Gu Huainian thought of what his sister said, that if he didn't express his feelings, Fang Miao would become someone else's wife.

Gu Huainian suddenly became restless and immediately stood up and left the Dali Temple.

As soon as he went out, Ah Qi came over with a horse and handed him the reins and a box.

Gu Huainian stared at the box, feeling a little confused.

"Miss Fang will definitely like the pastries." Ah Qi said.

His master is so stupid that he would never think of bringing a small gift when visiting his sweetheart. Fortunately, he has a smart little servant like him.

Gu Huainian looked at Ah Qi and for the first time he found this boy so pleasing to the eye.

"Wait until we get back home and I'll reward you," said Gu Huainian.

Ah Qi was so happy that he wanted to roll on the ground.

Gu Huainian took the box, jumped on his horse, and rode towards the Fang family.

Ah Qi looked at Gu Huainian's back, his face full of satisfaction like an old father.

Look, what a handsome young man.

Tall, big, handsome and cool, this move will definitely succeed and bring me a mistress!

Gu Huainian rode his horse to the Fang family.

He dismounted and stood in front of the Fang family's door. With a stern face, he straightened his clothes and hair, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was Fang Miao.

Fang Miao was surprised to see Gu Huainian: "Gu... Sir Gu."

Why would Lord Gu come to see her?

When Gu Huainian saw Fang Miao, he felt his heartbeat quicken, his face became hot, and something felt wrong all over his body. He wanted to run...

However, thinking of my sister's words, I stood still.

"Are you free?" Gu Huainian asked.

"Yes. But is there a case?" Fang Miao said, "I'll go get the toolbox."

Why did the adults come to inform her personally when there was a case?

A hint of doubt flashed through Fang Miao's mind, and she turned around and was about to run back.

But Gu Huainian grabbed his wrist.

"There is no case." Gu Huainian said.

"Huh?" Fang Miao became even more confused.

"Come out, I have something to tell you." Gu Huainian said.

Fang Miao walked out and closed the door.

The two of them walked through the streets.

After walking for a long time, Gu Huainian didn't say anything.

Fang Miao turned her head and looked up at him: "Master Gu, do you have anything to say?"

Gu Huainian opened his mouth, but the words he had prepared in mind could not come out.

He handed the box to Fang Miao.

"for you."

Fang Miao quickly took it: "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look." Gu Huainian said.

Fang Miao opened the box and saw exquisite pastries inside.

"Food for me?" Fang Miao was surprised.

"Yeah." Gu Huainian responded.

Lord Gu actually sent her some pastries!

Fang Miao tasted a piece and found that the pastry was particularly sweet. It was the most delicious pastry she had ever eaten!

"It's delicious." Fang Miao said.

Fang Miao held up the box: "Sir, you can eat too."

Gu Huainian ate a piece.

It tastes really good.

Gu Huainian stared at Fang Miao.

Fang Miao blushed when he stared at her.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Be proactive.

Shameless.

Gu Huainian silently repeated his sister's words in his heart. He reached out his hand and touched the corner of Fang Miao's mouth. He said in a low voice: "There are crumbs."

His fingers were rough and brushed against her skin, causing Fang Miao's face to turn red.

After she saw Lord Gu take two steps forward with his hands and feet together, she was no longer so shy.

She had never seen Lord Gu like this before.

Lord Gu seemed even more nervous than she was.

Adults like her, right?

Adults will definitely like her!

Fang Miao took two quick steps and caught up.

The two of them walked along the river, eating a piece each, and finished a box of cakes.

As the breeze blew on her body, Fang Miao felt that her mood was particularly uplifting.

"Sir, you are looking for me..."

"Fang Miao, I'm looking for you..."

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Fang Miao chuckled, and Gu Huainian's mouth corners curled up slightly.

They are so stupid.

When she saw such plots in storybooks before, she thought they were so stupid and corny.

Now that it's her turn, why is she so sweet?

"Sir, you speak first."

Gu Huainian stood facing the river and took a deep breath.

"Fang Miao, actually I..."

Just then, several women passed by and interrupted Gu Huainian while talking.

"I heard that the Gu family is going to form a marriage alliance with the Princess's Mansion. The eldest son of the Gu family and Miss Qingcheng are a talented man and a beautiful woman. They are indeed a good match."

"Has this matter been settled? When did the Gu family go to the Princess's residence to propose marriage?"

"Oh, this is a bit complicated. Didn't Miss Qingcheng fall into the water yesterday? It was the eldest son of the Gu family who rescued her. A man and a woman, wet and hugging each other. For the sake of the woman's reputation, it would naturally be best for them to get married. I heard that the eldest princess has already gone to the Gu family today, and the two families have already reached an agreement."

"The man and the woman are both unmarried, and they are so well-matched. Perhaps this is a match made in heaven."

Hearing those discussions, Gu Huainian and Fang Miao's expressions changed.

Fang Miao's expression was particularly ugly.

She just thought that Lord Gu was going to say that he liked her.

As a result, she was dealt a heavy blow and all her fantasies were shattered.

"Sir, are you getting married?" Fang Miao felt upset and her eyes turned red.

Even though she knew this day would come, she still felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Huainian was completely confused.

How did this rumor come about? It's completely unfounded.

Such rumors even reached the ears of his sweetheart.

He was afraid that Fang Miao would misunderstand him, so he quickly explained, "I did save Zhao Qingcheng, but the marriage was completely unfounded."

Gu Huainian looked at Fang Miao, "Fang Miao, trust me, okay?"

Well, believe him.

Lord Gu is a reliable person, and she believes everything he says.

Fang Miao nodded.

There is no smoke without fire. He has to investigate this matter thoroughly and give Fang Miao an explanation.

"I'll go and investigate this matter. Once it's resolved, I'll come back to you, okay?" Gu Huainian said.

Fang Miao nodded again: "Okay."

Gu Huainian sent Fang Miao back to the Fang family and turned to leave.

When he turned around, he paused, reached out and touched Fang Miao's head.

"Wait for me." After saying that, he untied the reins of the horse, jumped on the horse, and rode away.

Fang Miao looked at Gu Huainian's departing back and nodded.

Her little face was full of seriousness: "Master Gu, I'll wait for you."

Gu Huainian rode his horse and went straight to the Dali Temple.

As a result, I saw two people standing at the gate of Dali Temple.

One is Ah Qi, and the other is actually his sister.

Gu Huainian pulled the reins to stop the horse, dismounted, and threw the reins to Ah Qi.

"Xiao Li, why are you here?" Gu Huainian asked.

"Brother, have you heard the rumors on the street? Those about you and Zhao Qingcheng getting married..." Tang Li asked.
