Chapter 203 His Thoughts Are Roses

Gu Ci heard from his mother's courtyard that Princess Wenshu was looking for guards for Nianxi.

It's really so shocking that it makes people feel dizzy.

"What's the result?"

He took a few steps forward, just wanting to know the result.

Mrs. Wang looked him up and down for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why aren't you busy today? You still have time to listen to these things? Go and do your business. It's not shameful for you to listen to a woman's private conversation."

After all, she was Gu Ci's eldest sister. The wife of the Crown Prince of Xingwu could not bear to watch and asked with a smile, "Mom, please tell me quickly. I'm curious. Don't keep me in suspense."

Mrs. Wang smiled again for the sake of her eldest daughter, "Princess Wenshu is also an honest person. She has brought a whole yard of guards with her. They are all healthy and handsome. She just asked Nianxi to choose them."

"And then?" Gu Ci couldn't help but ask.

"Mrs. Li and Nianxi were fine, but Lord Wen and Little Lord Wen were very angry. They didn't even wait for Nianxi to take a closer look before asking everyone to leave."

The wife of the Xingwu Marquis's son covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed so hard, "Princess Wenshu found a guard to be her husband, so she should share the good things with others."

"That's something to say." Madam Wang also laughed. "The princess has a very naughty personality. We'll see. I'm sure I'll find something good for Nianxi later."

Gu Ci couldn't hold back any longer, "Nian'er won't have trouble finding a husband, why would she need to look for a bodyguard?"

Madam Wang glared at him, "What does the girl's affairs have to do with you? You've already transferred your feelings, why do you care about these things?"

"Empathy?"

Gu Ci stood up suddenly and asked, "Who is empathizing?"

Mrs. Wang didn't want to pay attention to him, but fortunately her elder sister explained to him, "You are transferring your feelings."

Gu Ci was dumbfounded and looked at his elder sister, who nodded at him affirmatively.

"In the past two days, many families have come to us and want to marry into our family."

Mrs. Wang then added, "Take some time to look around. If you find someone you like, I'll arrange your marriage. You're already quite old."

It had only been over 20 days since Gu resigned and returned to Beijing, and he was busy with official business every day. He really had no idea how this misunderstanding occurred.

He just wanted to give Nianxi some time to think about it, how could it become a transfer of feelings? !

Gu Ci did not understand girls' ability to spread information, and he did not know that rumors had wings and would spontaneously spread throughout the capital. Now, there were at least seven or eight different versions of the reasons for his transfer of feelings.

"Does Nian'er know?" he asked with some difficulty.

"She owns a teahouse. If she goes there often, she should be able to hear some reasons."

At this moment, Gu Ci really couldn't sit still anymore.

Give him some time, think things over carefully, and let him clear up the misunderstanding first!

He rode his horse as fast as he could to Yiqiao Street, but was told that the eldest lady had gone to a banquet.

——Which family’s banquet are you attending?

——The transport envoy of Cao family.

Gu Ci turned his horse around and headed for Cao's residence. Cao Xitang came out to meet him in person and said, "Unfortunately, Nianxi just left. She said she was going to the Pingyang Marquis' residence to visit the Crown Prince's wife."

Gu Ci did not say anything and went to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion again. He asked the doorman to pass on the message, but was told that Miss Wen and the Crown Prince's wife had already left. As for where they had gone, he did not know.

After leaving Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, Gu Ci was confused for a moment.

He ran across most of the capital, chasing after the target but always missing it. Disappointment welled up in his heart, and under the bright sunlight, he actually felt powerless.

What on earth is he doing!

He clearly wanted to go back to her so much, he clearly only had her in his heart, he clearly wanted to be with her every moment, but he didn't express it, he didn't make any effort, what was he waiting for?

And she misunderstood!

His thought is rose.

A rose that needs to be cared for and watered, a proud and gentle rose, a rose that faces the morning sun and raindrops, how much time he has wasted!

Isn't every day meant to be commemorated?

All of a sudden, Gu Ci seemed to be re-energized, with strength filling every part of his body. He spurred his horse and headed back to Yiqiao Street.

No matter where she is, there is always a home!

As luck would have it, just as Gu Ci arrived, Nian Xi got off the carriage.

Wang Muyi was pregnant and felt bored at home all day long. With Nianxi accompanying her, the two of them went to the silk shop to sit for a while and bought some cloth. After all, she was concerned about her pregnancy, so she took a breath and went back.

The weather was hot and Nianxi was feeling lazy, so she asked a car to take her home.

Unexpectedly, just after getting off the carriage, a familiar sound like the collision of metal and stone came from behind, and someone called her loudly:

"Nian'er!"

She turned her head to look.

A tall young man approached her step by step, walking out from the waterfall of light against the golden glow, covered in glory, just as brilliant and dazzling as when they first met.

He said, "Nianxi, I'm back."

It seems like something is gently hitting my heart. Those happy, beautiful, tender and sweet times all pass by with the words "come back".

He was much stronger than before, his face showed more determination and maturity. The only thing that remained unchanged was his phoenix eyes.

Bright and dazzling.

Like the scorching sun hanging in the sky.

"Yeah, I know." Nian Xi looked up. The summer sun was blinding. She walked towards the shade under the eaves, and Gu Ci followed her subconsciously.

"What's wrong?"

Her attitude was a little cold, and she wasn't as cheerful as before. I couldn't help but feel uneasy when I said no. "There are some things I want to explain."

"Empathy?"

Gu Ci choked. Since they met, Nian Xi had always been gentle and had never been so cold to him. His heart became heavier. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you believe it?"

Nian Xi also imitated him and lowered her eyelids. Under her thick eyelashes, it was difficult to see the expression in her eyes. "Somewhat."

Her voice was low and suppressed, and at first it might sound like she was suffocating, but upon closer listening, that was not the case.

Gu Ci was originally very worried, but he finally realized something was wrong. He was tall, so he immediately bent down and raised his head. Sure enough, the young woman was trying hard to hold back her laughter to make him laugh!

"Naughty!"

This is what he always said to her in the past. Whenever she teased him, he could only nod at her helplessly and dotingly and say "naughty."

With this little episode, the familiar feelings of the past came back.

The next words to come out were also logical, and he said politely, "Nian'er, I'm not transferring my feelings, I just..."

Nian Xi looked at him, her bright eyes smiling, "Just what?"

Yeah, but what?

Those unspeakable thoughts. At that time, he saw Nianxi and Pei Jian coming down from the Suoyue Tower. They didn't say anything, but they were very tacitly connected. Their behavior gave him the illusion that he couldn't fit in.

What have they been through?

Nian'er and Shi Zhang's eyes were red.

He didn't dare to think, didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to ponder deeply.

I can only tell myself to give Nianxi some time.

"I was just scared by how ugly I looked that night."

Nian Xi took over the conversation and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Gu Ci chuckled. His Nian'er was still such a gentle and considerate girl. "It's just that I was too stupid."
