Gu Yan put down the teacup in his hand. "It's not that I don't care about her. It's just that after returning to Chang'an, I also have a lot of official business to deal with. She often quarrels with me because I concealed her background. There are many things she doesn't want to talk to me properly. Once she does, it's just a quarrel... It's not that I don't care about her."
Su Zhan asked curiously, "Then why did you hide your origins from Xiangye?"
Gu Yan said, "There were many reasons at the time. The official tea corruption case needed to be investigated. I couldn't reveal my identity, and I didn't feel the need to disclose it. I couldn't return to Chang'an for a while anyway, so what did my background have to do with living together as a couple?"
Su Zhan said, "How can it not matter? You are not alone, you have friends and family. From what Xiangye said, it seems that more than one of your cousins looks down on Xiangye because of her background. Xiangye is facing a completely unfamiliar environment when she comes to Chang'an, and you have left her completely unprepared."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "I know I was wrong. I will never let Xiangye and Nuonuo suffer any injustice again in the future."
Su Zhan thought that since Gu Yan was the Prince of Ning and had humbly admitted his mistakes, he was not hopeless, so he said, "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Prince, please rest in the carriage for a while."
Gu Yan did not refuse. He leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Yun Xiangye was a difficult person to coax. He was extremely tired and sleepy at the moment. It would be better for him to have a good rest before coaxing Yun Xiangye.
In the carriage behind.
Yun Xiangye played the ball throwing game with Xiao Nuonuo, and Xiao Nuonuo giggled.
Yun Xiangye couldn't laugh at this moment. She didn't expect Gu Yan to catch up with her. He obviously didn't care about her and Nuonuo, so why did he chase her all night?
Yun Xiangye played with Nuonuo for quite a while, and it was already noon.
The carriage team stopped to rest and had a meal in a nearby restaurant before continuing on their journey.
As soon as Yun Xiangye opened the curtain of the carriage, she saw Gu Yan in front of her. She frowned and glared at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan reached out his hand to support Yun Xiangye. Yun Xiangye glanced at Gu Yan and jumped off the carriage by herself.
Gu Yan had no choice but to pick up the little Nuonuo inside: "Nuonuo, daddy will hold you."
Nuonuo raised her little chin to the upper left, pursed her lips and hummed softly.
Gu Yan stepped forward and held Xiao Nuonuo in his arms. "You and your mother are exactly the same when they're angry. So cute."
Gu Yan touched little Nuonuo's face and coaxed her softly, "Father will never scold you without knowing the reason again. This time, father knows he was wrong. Nuonuo, please forgive father, okay?"
Xiao Nuonuo broke free from Gu Yan's arms and ran out of the carriage. Yun Xiangye hurriedly caught Xiao Nuonuo under the carriage.
After entering the restaurant, Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo sat down and saw Gu Yan sitting in front of her. Yun Xiangye frowned, picked up Nuonuo and moved to another table.
Gu Yan then chased forward again, "Xiang Ye."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan and said, "There are so many empty seats in this room, and you insist on coming to me and making me so sick that I can't eat, right?"
Gu Yan also frowned.
Seeing this, Su Zhan hurried forward and said to Gu Yan, "Prince, why don't you and I have some wine at the same table, and let the mother and daughter have a good meal first."
Seeing that Yun Xiangye's eyes were full of disgust towards him, Gu Yan could only helplessly follow Su Zhan to the table nearby to eat and drink.
Gu Yan's eyes were on Yun Xiangye and her daughter.
Su Zhan looked at Gu Yan and said, "Xiangye is probably still angry right now. Let my mother try to persuade her when we get to Luoyang."
Gu Yan picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in it. He then found the guard of the princess's mansion and asked him to go back and inform the prince and his parents that he would return to Chang'an after the Lantern Festival.
After eating and drinking, the carriage set off.
After having lunch, Nuonuo felt sleepy, so Yun Xiangye accompanied Nuonuo to lie down in the carriage to rest.
As she lay there, Yun Xiangye fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping for about half an hour, she felt a familiar breathing sound beside her.
Yun Xiangye opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu Yan, and she angrily said, "Get out! We are getting divorced and are no longer husband and wife..."
Gu Yan said: "I have not agreed to a divorce. I have already told you that if you want a divorce, you can only keep Nuonuo."
Yun Xiangye stood up and raised her hand. This time, Gu Yan neither stopped her nor dodged, allowing Yun Xiangye to hit her.
Yun Xiangye didn't slap her, but said angrily, "You don't care about Nuonuo. In your eyes, Nuonuo is not as important as your good cousin getting bitten!"
Gu Yan said, "When we get to Chang'an, I'll make Nan'an apologize to you for her disrespect. I'll never blame Nuonuo again without any reason. Nuonuo is my daughter, too. How could I not care about her?"
Yun Xiangye: "What you mean by caring is letting Nuonuo suffer?"
Gu Yan said: "I already know that I was wrong. You must give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and said, "Do you think that because you are the Prince of Ning, you can humbly say that you admit your mistakes, and Nuonuo and I will have to forgive you?"
Gu Yan said: "I didn't mean that."
Yun Xiangye snorted softly, "Go down quickly, I don't want to see you."
Gu Yan didn't obey and got off the carriage. Instead, he hugged her tightly in his arms, "Do you know how worried I was about you last night? How could you leave without saying goodbye?"
Yun Xiangye struggled to break free from Gu Yan's embrace, "Let me go!"
Gu Yan said, "You're so powerful in front of me, why don't you fight back when Nan'an scolds you?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I fight back? Nuonuo just bit Nan'an, and you got angry and scolded her. Princess Nan'an is a princess of the royal family after all. What qualifications do I have to fight back against her?"
