Chapter 147

Gu Ling stared at her fair and cold face, feeling a tingling sensation in his heart. He said awkwardly, "Miss Shi, I didn't mean to offend you, but... I fell in love with Miss Shi at first sight... and..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Mengdie's maid shouted, "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself. If others see you like this and misunderstand my daughter, she will never be able to clear herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River."

Gu Ling ignored the maid's shouting. If it were based on his previous temper, he would have had the troublesome girl thrown aside. However, now that his sweetheart was in front of him, he had to be patient.

He raised his hand with a look of deep affection and said, "Miss Shi, the heaven and earth can attest to my love for you!"

Shi Mengdie looked cold and said, "Mr. Gu, you are joking. We don't know each other at all. I don't deserve your kindness!" After saying that, she turned around and left without paying attention to Gu Ling's ugly expression.

Gu Ling couldn't believe it. He had expressed his feelings so clearly, but she was indifferent?

"Miss Shi, I'm serious. I...I want to marry you!"

Shi Mengdie's expression remained unchanged as she said, "Mr. Gu, I know the Gu family in Kyoto, but I am too low-ranking to marry into their family."

Having said this, he slowly left without any reluctance.

Gu Ling stared at her departing back with dull eyes, feeling mixed emotions. It was rare for him to want to marry someone, but he was rejected so thoroughly?

"Master, this... maybe Miss Shi doesn't know you and doesn't know your feelings for her." The servant thought that his master was hurt and felt a little bit unbearable, so he comforted him.

Gu Ling came to his senses, paced back and forth indignantly, and said, "What's wrong with me? Family background? Or appearance? What's not outstanding about me?"

"This?" The servant asked awkwardly, "Master, could it be that Miss Shi knows that you don't understand poetry?"

Gu Ling looked up at the servant, then hit him on the forehead with a fried chestnut and said angrily, "How come I don't understand poetry and songs?"

The servant rubbed his forehead, smiled and said, "I was wrong. The young master is a handsome man with elegant manners and great talent!"

Gu Ling opened the folding fan in his hand, fanned it, and said with certainty, "She must not know how good I am!"

Well! The servant pursed his lips, speechless, and said, "Master, as long as you are happy!"

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

Gu Ling frowned and asked, "What's that sound?"

The servant raised his eyes and looked around, for a moment he didn't know where the voice came from.

"Who are you? Come out here right now!"

Gu Ling shouted to the surroundings: "Who dares to play tricks in front of me?"

Luo Chaoyan took a bite of the peach and said with a smile, "The King of Xiang has a dream!" I don't know where Gu Er got his confidence from. He actually thinks he is pretty good.

Huo Rui also took a bite of the peach and continued, "The goddess has no heart!"

Huo Yu sighed softly: "Since ancient times, those who are sentimental have always been annoyed by those who are ruthless!"

Huo Shun and Huo Ze couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Gu Ling recognized the voice, so he walked to the peach tree, looked up, and saw Luo Chaoyan and a few little kids. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you here?" Did they see him being rejected by the beauty just now?

Luo Chaoyan shrugged and said, "Why can't we be here!" They were here first! I just accidentally saw a live confession.

Huo Rui looked at Gu Ling jokingly and said, "Gu Er, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about your failed attempt to confide in the girl."

Huo Yu thought for a moment and agreed, "But you have to pay hush money!" '

"Don't give too much. I heard that your Gu family has an antique shop. There is an ancient Luban lock in the shop. Just give it to me!"

Luo Chaoyan's lips twitched. This naughty kid never forgets to "blackmail"!

Gu Ling pointed at him angrily and said, "You...you..."

His face was turning pale with anger. He looked down at his feet and saw a few Lan peaches. He picked them up and said with a dark face, "Dream on!"

As he said that, he threw the rotten peach in his hand at them.

Huo Rui, Huo Ze and Huo Shun moved back and forth to avoid the rotten peaches he threw at them.

Just hear a "click" sound!

Huo Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What sound?"

Huo Shun and Huo Ze pointed at the trunk of the peach tree tremblingly and said, "It seems...it seems that the branch is about to break!"

Before they could react, they felt their bodies falling!

"ah!"

The three of them followed the broken peach branch and fell down under the stunned gazes of Luo Chaoyan, Huo Yu and others.

"ah!"

Gu Ling originally wanted to yell at them, but he didn't expect that they would fall down. He couldn't dodge in time and was affected.

The three of them pressed Gu Ling to the ground like a pyramid.

"ah!"

Gu Ling groaned in pain a few times, then roared, "You...you three bastards!"

Seeing his young master being pinned to the ground, the servant rushed forward, pushed away Huo Rui and the other two, helped him up, and said worriedly, "Young master, are you okay?"

Luo Chaoyan hurried down from the tree, looked at Huo Rui and the others, and asked, "Are you all right?"

Gu Ling rubbed his upper body and said angrily: "What can they do? I am the one being used as a cushion!"

Huo Rui patted the dust off his body and said, "Who can you blame? Who told you to throw things at us?"

Huo Yu sat on a branch of the peach tree and said in a serious tone, "This is called the cycle of cause and effect. Uncle, you must not do bad things in the future."

Luo Chaoyan pursed her lips and smiled, looking like she was doing good for you, and said, "Gu Er, you must not have the intention to harm others in this important Buddhist place. Look, you have just taken action, and the retribution will come in this life. So for your future happiness and longevity, you should do more good deeds."

Gu Ling glared at them with gritted teeth. If he believed what this woman said, he would be a fool! Previously, people said that he was comparable to a daffodil, but that was just a lie, mocking him for being a proud peacock.

The servant saw that his young master was very angry and was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he quickly pulled his hand and whispered, "Young master, let's go first. We will discuss Miss Shi's matter later."

These are all members of the Huo family. Right now, Master Huo is closely watching what’s happening in the mansion. If the young master conflicts with them again, I’m afraid he will be punished with a beating. The Marquis has strictly instructed that the young master is not allowed to cause any trouble.

Seeing Gu Ling being dragged away by his own servant in anger, Luo Chaoyan and others couldn't help but laugh.
