Gu Qian's entourage, having traveled for a long time, were arranged by Qiu Yan to rest in guest rooms after lunch.
Fortunately, one of the rooms was a large communal room; otherwise, it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.
After Zheng Hong and his officials had eaten and drunk their fill, they left one after another.
Before leaving, Zheng Hong made sure to take one last look at Qiu Yan's medicinal herb field.
After seeing Zheng Hong off, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian strolled hand in hand through the nearby mountains, enjoying this private time that belonged only to the two of them.
It was a busy but fulfilling day.
Suddenly, she heard soft sobbing coming from the stream in the distance. Curious, Qiu Yan quickened her pace.
Upon approaching, I saw a girl sitting by the stream, washing her face with water.
Zhao Juan noticed someone approaching and looked up to see.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan and the other person clearly, he burst into tears.
Seeing her crying so hard, Qiu Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
She seemed to have heard that this girl got married last year, but why was she here today?
"I..." Zhao Juan's gaze fell on Qiu Yan and the other's tightly clasped hands, tears blurring her vision.
Everyone else is so happy, so why is her fate so tragic?
She turned her head to the side and remained silent.
Qiu Yan, not hearing a reply, stopped trying to provoke him and left side by side with Gu Qian.
Gu Qian was no longer surprised to learn that Qiu Yan was buying more barren land.
However, he had some doubts, "Yan Yan, do you love money more, or do you love me more?"
Qiu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Of course... I love money more."
"Qiu Yan!" Gu Qian didn't like hearing this answer.
Qiu Yan glanced back at Gu Qian and chuckled softly.
Then, he ran towards the distant mountains and forests.
"Wait for me!" Gu Qian took off chasing after her. "Yan Yan, don't run away." How could they waste such a precious moment?
Seeing Gu Qian closing in, Qiu Yan quickened her pace.
But after running for only a short while, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and he was picked up horizontally by Gu Qian.
"Tell me, do you love money more, or do you love me more?"
Qiu Yan glanced around and said, "Gu Qian, put me down."
Gu Qian gently curled the corners of his lips, tightening his grip on Qiu Yan to prevent her from escaping.
Qiu Yan struggled to break free but failed, and said slowly, "I love money."
Gu Qian was displeased. He put Qiu Yan down, forced her to lean against the tree trunk, and then wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist. "Yan Yan, you should be punished."
He was about to cover his mouth with his lips when Qiu Yan covered his mouth.
Then, Qiu Yan looked towards the ranch not far away. "Uncle Li."
Gu Qian thought of his master, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly turned his head away.
The area around the ranch was quiet, with no sign of Master. However, further away, Second Uncle and Jiang Liu were strolling hand in hand.
Realizing he had been tricked, Gu Qian turned around, preparing for his next move, but the woman in front of him had already sat down in the tree.
"Yan Yan, how can a young lady be so naughty?"
Helpless, Gu Qian leaped up the tree and sat down next to Qiu Yan. "Be careful not to fall."
"How could that be?" Qiu Yan leaned on Gu Qian's shoulder, her eyes slightly narrowed, savoring the tranquility.
Gu Qian put a hand on Qiu Yan's shoulder and kissed her cheek. "Yan Yan, if you're tired, take a rest."
"Mm." Qiu Yan nodded slightly. "It's getting late, let's go back."
Qiu Yan is busy all day long and is really tired.
"Okay." Gu Qian, carrying Qiu Yan, leaped down from the tree, continuing to dwell on the previous question, "Yan Yan, do you love money or me?"
