Gu Qian's demeanor was the envy of all the young ladies from prominent families around him.
As a result, Qiu Yan gained a lot of attention.
"It's not hot." She smiled and shook her head. "Let's find a place to eat first."
Ling Ba, who was following closely behind, had a slight change in expression. "General, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive."
He really spoils his wife rotten.
Gu Qian: "Okay, let's go shopping again tomorrow." He didn't feel hungry when Qiu Yan didn't say anything, but now that she mentioned it, he was hungry.
Qiu Yan: "Ling Ba, lead the way to the inn for a meal."
In the middle of the day, even if I don't get sunburned, I'll probably get starving.
Ling Ba led the way directly to Shangjin Xingyue Tower.
The Xingyue Tower in Shangjin is much larger and more imposing than the one in Baiyang.
After Qiu Yan sat down, she first asked the waiter in the restaurant if their boss had returned.
Having received no response, she didn't press the matter further.
Shangjin is large and spacious. There are four branches in Xingyuelou alone, and five branches in the main building.
After lunch, Gu Qian pulled Qiu Yan back into the carriage. Ling Ba sat in front of the carriage, glanced back at Ling Qi who was chatting excitedly with Bai Lu, and told him to set off immediately.
Then, he raised his hand and cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly drove onto the main road ahead.
Before long, the General's Mansion came into view.
When the guards of the General's Mansion saw Ling Qi and Ling Ba driving in the distance, their faces lit up with joy.
They looked much more energetic, and their backs were ramrod straight.
As Gu Qian approached, the two guards bowed slightly and clasped their hands in greeting. One of the guards respectfully greeted him.
"General, you're back."
Gu Qian hummed in agreement, then got out of the car. "Yan Yan, we're home."
Just as he was about to gently help the woman in the carriage, Qiu Yan jumped down from the carriage first.
After Qiu Yan got out of the car, she first looked up and carefully examined the plaque on the courtyard gate.
General's Mansion.
Qiu Yan's arrival immediately stunned the two guards.
The general's mansion was entirely populated by men.
The general had not returned for a long time, and when he did, he brought back a woman. It was understandable that they found it strange.
Gu Qian and Qiu Yan walked side by side into the General's Mansion.
At this moment, the general's steward came running to greet him.
Gu Qian immediately instructed the housekeeper to inform the kitchen to prepare a table of top-quality food for dinner to welcome his daughter Yan Yan back.
Behind them, Ling Qi and the other two followed closely behind Qiu Yan and Gu Qian.
Bai Lu then realized that Gu Qian was actually a general.
She was surprised, but only for a moment.
She steeled herself and followed Qiu Yan into the general's mansion.
It was Qiu Yan's first time accompanying Gu Qian to his residence, and she found it quite novel.
As she walked, she surveyed the interior of the mansion.
The general's mansion was completely empty, with the entire area visible at a glance.
Qiu Yan suspected that she had unwittingly wandered into a military camp.
The mansion was quite large, but inside, apart from the weapons in the drill ground, there was not a single blade of grass or tree.
"Gu Qian, your mansion is really quite simple."
Gu Qian couldn't hide the faint smile in his eyes. "What do you think would be best?"
He was very interested and wanted to hear Qiu Yan's opinion.
Qiu Yan: "This is good." Simple, quiet, and elegant. "However, some flowers, shrubs, and trees should be planted appropriately."
Gu Qian nodded. He lived in the military camp year-round, and this mansion was just a place that gave him a sense of belonging, unlike an inn.
"I'll listen to you."
Led by Gu Qian, Qiu Yan went to a courtyard.
The courtyard is adjacent to the main courtyard and is located on the east side.
Inside the courtyard, servants were diligently cleaning.
When Qiu Yan was admitted to the hospital, the courtyard was also bare, with nothing but houses.
"Yan Yan, you can stay here for now. If you need anything, just ask the housekeeper."
After he finished speaking, Bai Lu came over carrying a bedding set and went inside to make the bed.
