Gu Chengyan was furious and roared, "Where is Qian Yue?"
Aunt Wang was startled: "Sir, why are you here?"
"Is this all you teach him every day?"
When Gu Yuebai saw him yelling at Aunt Wang, she grabbed Aunt Wang's neck with both hands and burst into tears.
He cursed at Gu Chengyan, "You son of a bitch, a worthless bastard, a gigolo who lives off women. Besides moaning like a cat in heat, what else can you do? You even dared to insult my nanny, your mother..."
Greetings to Gu Chengyan's mother!
Gu Chengyan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Every time he came, he and Guan Yingying would run the 800-meter race, and he didn't pay much attention to Gu Yuebai's education.
Guan Yingying always said that the child is still young and should play as much as possible during early childhood. It is not too late to start learning at the age of 7.
He never expected that Gu Yuebai's current enlightenment would involve all sorts of cursing.
Aunt Wang's face turned pale with fright: "Master, this is not what I taught you. You know, this is how it is in the south of the city, there are people like this on the streets. You should take the young master away as soon as possible, he should go find a tutor."
Gu Chengyan asked again, "Where is Qian Yue?"
"I don't know when she will return. Sometimes she comes back at noon, sometimes at dusk, and sometimes she doesn't return until the next day."
She actually spent the night outside?
Gu Chengyan's initial joy at taking on the project vanished instantly, and he turned and walked away.
But he couldn't think of where to find Guan Yingying for a while; she had indeed been elusive lately.
Once outside the alley, he tied his horse to one side and, in a fit of pique, sat down on the ground under the archway.
He basked in the sun, feeling restless and impatient. Suddenly, he remembered that Wang Fugui used to wait for him like this all day long without ever uttering a word of complaint.
But this capable assistant, a partner of more than ten years, lost Wang Fugui's life in a single act of willfulness by Guan Yingying.
He didn't say a single harsh word to her.
He never mistreated her; he provided her with clothes, food, and doted on her exclusively. Yet she was still not satisfied, neglecting even the children and running off on her own.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He got up and was about to go back to his residence when he suddenly saw a carriage coming towards him.
The carriage was understated, looking only slightly better than ordinary carriages on the street.
The driver on the cart was wearing a straw hat; he was tall and strong, and it was clear that he was skilled in martial arts.
The carriage stopped at the alley entrance, and Guan Yingying jumped out of it.
A pair of hands reached out from the carriage and helped her jump down.
Although the curtain was only partially lifted and the person inside the carriage did not show their face, he still saw it—the familiar jade thumb ring.
That's the prince's thumb ring.
He was so angry that his hands and feet went weak.
The carriage turned around and left, and he didn't dare to go out and confront it head-on.
When has the Crown Prince ever traveled in such a poor carriage?
Was it for her?
She leaves early and returns late every day, sometimes not at all, leaving her child in the marketplace. Is she doing this all to seduce the Crown Prince?
He was burning with anger, stood up, and chased after the suspect into the alley.
As Guan Yingying entered the courtyard, Aunt Wang reported, "The master came by earlier and then left."
Guan Yingying said calmly, "Aunt Wang, I'm very tired today. Why don't you take Yuebai out to play?"
Aunt Wang then said, "Madam, I think you should find a tutor for the young master. He was a little unhappy when he came today."
"Children are still young, and forcing them to grow too fast will do no good. They should play when they are old enough to play." Guan Yingying said, and then closed the door to rest.
Gu Chengyan couldn't listen any longer and pushed the door open to come in.
"Qian Yue?" He had made a promise with Guan Yingying that he could not easily call her by that name anymore.
"You've arrived?" Guan Yingying was nothing like the women of today, who fawned over men.
She's still waiting for a man to serve her!
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Gu Chengyan leaned in, hugged her, and his hand was already inside her.
Guan Yingying slapped his hand away unhappily: "Stop it, I'm tired!"
Gu Yuebai blinked and asked Aunt Wang, "Are they going to start a dog-doing business together?"
Aunt Wang quickly covered his mouth and rushed out the door!
Regardless of whether she was tired or not, Gu Chengyan insisted on working even more frantically than before.
Think about the big project ahead, think about the hands with the jade thumb ring in the carriage, think about...
It feels like a lush green grassland above my head.
Guan Yingying was too tired to move at first, but she couldn't help herself and soon got into the swing of things.
After a long time of fussing, Gu Chengyan's face was flushed, and he lay lazily with Guan Yingying.
He said, "Yingying, I've taken over the Grand Canal project."
Guan Yingying, having just finished her work, gave a curt "Hmm" and said indifferently, "Okay then!"
That's great! Instead of exclaiming "That's wonderful!" with delight!
Gu Chengyan felt a surge of inexplicable anger. This was because he had climbed up to the Crown Prince, yet he didn't even care about the Grand Canal project that Gu Chengyan had worked so hard to secure.
That makes sense. If she were to climb up to the Crown Prince, the Grand Canal would still be a gift from her lover!
Is this considered compensation from the Crown Prince?
"I'm telling you, I've taken over the Grand Canal project. Were you even listening?" Gu Chengyan abruptly turned her face towards him and said, "Didn't you always want me to win this project?"
Guan Yingying said with her eyes closed, "I understand, the Crown Prince told me!"
"You—!" Gu Chengyan slammed his fist on the bed and roared, "Guan Yingying!!"
"What? What do you want by shouting like that?" Guan Yingying was also annoyed. "Have you taken the wrong medicine? Or have you started to look down on me after getting married? Why are you picking on me at every turn?"
In a fit of anger, Gu Chengyan wanted to say, "You've climbed up to the Crown Prince and look down on me now, haven't you?"
But he dared not, for he feared that if he said a word, Guan Yingying would disregard everything and actually leave with the Crown Prince.
"I..." He smiled instantly, a rather handsome smile, his warm breath brushing against her neck, and said, "Are you angry with me?"
Guan Yingying pounded his chest, tears streaming down her face: "How dare I be angry? I'm not the wife you brought back in a grand sedan chair, I'm just a shameless mistress!"
Gu Chengyan felt sorry for her and forgot all about the jade thumb ring. He apologized, "Didn't I already explain it to you? It was just a show between her and me. Besides, we already have the money."
"Who knows if she gave this money willingly, or if it's a favor you're doing her a favor?"
So you're jealous! Gu Chengyan laughed and said, "We've been together for almost six years, day after day, and I've never seen you give me any money!"
"I've let you farm this land for five years for nothing, have you paid the rent? These days I've been thinking, I was tricked into coming here before I even reached adulthood, like a caged bird, am I going to live like this for the rest of my life?"
"I can stay in Jiangnan for three years for this project. Why don't you bring Yuebai with you?"
"So what if I went to Jiangnan with you? Do you dare to admit in public that I am your wife?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't care about these things?"
"Just because I said I wouldn't hold it against you, does that mean I really won't?" Guan Yingying said angrily. "Gu Chengyan, aren't you a scumbag?"
