Chapter 79 Gu Rongyu has changed
"this……"
Isn't this a token of love?
Gu Rongyu was filled with trepidation, just like the day he and Chang Xixi got married. He put it on his waist and asked, "Does it look good on you, my lady?" His heart was filled with joy, but his face was indifferent. That cold expression returned.
Chang Xixi just thought that if he didn't want to, he didn't have to wear it and didn't have to force himself to smile.
Gu Rongyu just wanted to hide his inner feelings, but he was afraid that being too enthusiastic would make her overly annoyed, and he didn't want them to misunderstand each other in the future.
“It looks very nice.”
Chang Xixi also hung the jade pendant around her waist with a calm expression.
In the Madam's courtyard, Chang Xixi saw Zhou Zhiwei sitting on a stool to one side as soon as she entered the room, holding a teacup in her hand and a plate of exquisite pastries on the other side. It seemed that he had just arrived. Is he here to see the joke? Chang Xixi curled her lips in a cold smile, fearing that she would be disappointed again today.
They both bowed as they entered the house.
The eldest lady's sharp eyes immediately noticed the jade pendants on the waists of the two people, as well as the hairpin in Chang Xixi's hair. It was obvious that she regarded her as a relative in her heart. She said that she had not forgotten the kindness of more than ten years. She did not forget herself because of Dou's little lady's concern. She was satisfied here.
I don't really care about what those people outside think of them. The marriage has already been concluded, so how can it be cancelled?
"Just do it when you're here! No need to worry about those empty formalities."
"Thank you, ma'am."
After they were both seated, the eldest lady had someone serve Chang Xixi her favorite tea, and then her favorite lotus cake. "This is what you like to eat. I'm afraid you don't have the money to buy these at Dou's place. Now that you're back here, there's no need to be so formal. Just enjoy."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The soul has changed, and the taste has naturally changed. Chang Xixi is not very interested in these things now. In order not to reveal her identity, she ate a piece carefully. It was really sweet. It was too sweet, but a sip of tea could just cover up the taste.
Seeing that the eldest lady didn't say anything, Gu Rongyu understood in his heart the purpose of calling him here today, so he spoke directly.
"Madam, the rumors outside are vulgar and unpleasant. However, I've heard them so many times in Wanfu Village that I don't take them seriously. I'm just afraid that it will bring bad reputation to your Zhou Mansion. The master also has honors and official titles. Why don't Xixi and I move out?"
"You're new here, where can you find a good place to stay? Why don't you just stay in my house? The master and I don't care about those rumors. You don't have to take them to heart. They're just those bad guys who can't stand seeing others live well. You should not take them to heart."
"this……"
Gu Rongyu was unsure about the decision, so he still had to rely on Chang Xixi.
Living in the small courtyard he bought, he could eat the meals Chang Xixi cooked for him. She worked hard for him all the time. Although the food here was rich, he couldn't taste Chang Xixi's cooking skills. It was a bit regrettable.
Chang Xixi finally suppressed the sweet taste in her mouth and glanced at Zhou Zhiwei. It was really interesting. He just sat there without saying a word, like a wooden man. No wonder the eldest lady disliked him.
This is hard to like!
He doesn't talk at all. Even if you want people to love him, it's impossible.
"Madam, my husband and I have indeed heard such things many times. We don't care about reputation. On the day we get married, those rumors will be nothing to us. We live our lives for ourselves, not for outsiders. Our happiness and joy have nothing to do with those outsiders."
"I'm glad you think so. I was worried that you would be unable to let go and affect the relationship between husband and wife. It seems I was worrying too much."
"It's because my lady is so concerned that she gets confused."
When the eldest lady heard what Chang Xixi said, she laughed out loud. Chang Xixi was becoming more and more interesting now, which made people feel more fond of her. Looking at Zhou Zhiwei again, she really couldn't even like her.
The three of them chatted for a while. As dusk was approaching, Gu Rongyu said he would leave and would come back tomorrow.
The eldest lady politely let him go.
She discovered that Gu Rongyu understood the rules of this big family better than Chang Xixi. He would never eat at someone else's house, nor would he say inappropriate words. Instead, he was more reserved than the young masters in the family. He didn't smile, but he didn't have any other expressions either. He was very calm.
She didn't believe that such a man was just a gigolo! Either he was not in the right place, or he was just waiting for the right opportunity.
What the master said was correct. As long as she is guided, she will definitely be a great person in the future. Whoever said that Chang Xixi had no vision and married a sick man was obviously lying!
Gu Rongyu is in very good health.
Back in the yard, Chang Xixi was very tired. She collapsed on the chaise longue, leaning against a pillow embroidered with gold flowers. Her black hair was scattered all over the floor. Her fair cheeks, which had never done farm work, looked even whiter against the darkness, which attracted Gu Rongyu's attention and made his throat dry.
Chang Xixi felt the burning gaze and looked at the only person in the room. Gu Rongyu's attention was only on the book in his hands, not even paying attention to her. Who was that? Was she hallucinating?
Maybe it’s because he lives in Zhou’s house, which makes him nervous.
She turned around, called Xiaohong over, and asked her to go to the kitchen to get some water so that she could wash the dirt off her body.
Gu Rongyu coughed lightly. The room was so small, and there was a bathtub behind the screen. Was she going to take a bath right under his nose? Was she trying to seduce him? Was he overthinking it? Should he volunteer to scrub her back later?
Thinking of this, Chang Xixi went to the side room next door.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Gu Rongyu immediately put down the book in his hand, leaned against the door frame, glanced in the direction where Chang Xixi left, and listened to her continue to instruct Xiaohong, "Remember to make sure the water is hotter. I'm too tired. I need to soak some medicine and flower petals in it. You help me watch the door."
He really was overthinking it.
The two of them have been sleeping in the same bed for half a year, and Chang Xixi has not had any improper thoughts about him, but he has never touched her.
Liang Ming came down from the beam and said, "Young Master, why don't we go and take a peek! With our lightness skills, we will definitely not be discovered by the Madam. Besides, do you think you need to be so sneaky with your own wife? You like her."
Gu Rongyu reached out and dropped a book on Liang Ming's head, "You talk too much."
Liang Ming touched his head, completely unaware of how he had offended anyone. He returned to the beam in a sullen manner and continued to be a gentleman on the beam.
Qingnan listened to the noise outside the door. The young master was becoming more and more cowardly. A woman could make him so distracted. Where was the calm and self-controlled young master? Where was the serious young master? After meeting Chang Xixi, he was nothing.
