Cheng Huaijin thought about it and agreed. Although the Emperor sometimes seemed similar to Uncle Gu, he was probably the most protective of the Gu family when it came to their affairs.

Lu Zheng said, "Actually, saying all this is useless. The most important thing is to see Xue'er's attitude. And Xue'er's attitude depends on you, Xiao Jin."

Cheng Huaijin was taken aback.

Gu Si said, "Brother Xiao Jin, I've noticed you've been treating Xue'er quite well lately, why won't you admit it! Pretending won't help, your eyes don't lie."

Cheng Huaijin looked at Gu Si.

Gu Si continued, "Huo Junhao once said that there are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: the sun and people's hearts. There are two things in the world that cannot be lied about: eyes and coughs. The way you look at Xue'er, Brother Jin, is just like how my second brother-in-law looked at my second sister back then."

Gu Xin: "Why don't you look at me the same way Yuan Yuan looks at me?"

Gu Si was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "It's still a little different. Before, when Brother Yuan looked at you, Third Sister, he looked at you like you were his own daughter. It's only in the last two years, after you came back from the West, that he started to look at you like that."

"Pfft!" Bai Yi couldn't help but laugh. As expected of Uncle Gu's daughter, that's a very apt metaphor.

Back then, wasn't Lu Zheng just an old bull who ate young grass? He suppressed his inner thoughts as much as possible, pampering her like a daughter until she came of age, only then could he fully express his love.

To be honest, Bai Yi really admires Lu Zheng.

He definitely couldn't do that.

He didn't know how Lu Zheng, at his age, could have fallen for Gu Xin, who was also that age. His feeling was that from the moment he met Lu Zheng, the boy was determined to marry no one but her.

Then, he learned that this kid had only known Gu Xin not long before him.

He had seen Gu Xin back then; she was just a young girl with yellow hair, completely incomparable to the Princess Xin Xin she is now.

He had even wondered if it was someone who had saved his life, but he found that it wasn't. Lu Zheng had only gone to Sanchakou Village before he met him. Before that, he was either in the capital or Yuzhou, while Gu Xin had always been in Sanchakou Village. Even though their grandmothers were very close friends, the two children didn't know each other.

Even now, he still doesn't understand why. He can only say that there is no reason to love someone. Maybe it's just a glance, maybe it's love at first sight, or maybe it's love that lasts a lifetime!

The person in white once asked Lu Zheng this question.

Lu Zheng never said it. Was he going to tell Bai Yi that they were together for eight years in their past life?

"What are you laughing at!" Lu Zheng kicked the man in white.

He felt that the three members of the second branch of the Gu family should understand his feelings for Gu Xin, although he didn't know why they understood, but he just felt that way.

Then there are the white-robed brothers, especially the white-robed one. He used to always ask him about it, but he always managed to fool him. Now that Gu Si brought it up, he feels like the white-robed one is making fun of him for being old.

She's only five years older, is she old?

"No, I choked, I choked," the man in white quickly said.

“That’s true. I was young back then. It’s impossible for Brother Yuan to be so heartless as to like me the way my second brother-in-law likes my second sister.” Gu Xin nodded in deep agreement, agreeing with Gu Si’s point of view.

"..." Lu Zheng was speechless.

"Hahahaha..." This time, the man in white couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

What could Lu Zheng do? He could only lie down and let himself be mocked. Anyway, the past didn't matter; what mattered was the present and the future.
