Chapter 39
"Still throwing a tantrum? You're not even eating dinner?"
Gu Yanling sat in front of the dressing table with her chin in her hands. When she heard the noise behind her, she didn't turn around. The word "anger" was written all over her body.
Xiao Xinghan was somewhat helpless: "He is so angry, I can't say anything."
Gu Yanling didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but she saw from the bronze mirror that he was putting something on his bun. She raised her hand curiously and touched it. It was a dark gold hollow ring with a round and shiny white pearl inlaid in it.
"What are you doing? Are you here to apologize to me?"
Xiao Xinghan: "Whatever you think."
Gu Yanling snorted: "You don't even know how to say something nice when you apologize to me!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't feel he had done anything wrong. He came to give a gift only because he saw that the other party was unhappy and was willing to lower himself to coax him. "Do you like it?"
Gu Yanling saw such a big pearl, which was really beautiful. After Xiao Xinghan fell in love with him, he was really generous. "It's just barely acceptable."
Xiao Xinghan knew that he was talking nonsense and thinking hard: "Then I won't be angry anymore."
Gu Yanling stopped talking again.
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling stood up from the stool and walked to the chaise longue in the room. After sitting down, she picked up the soft pillow and patted it with her hand.
Seeing his awkward expression, but not looking angry, Xiao Xinghan walked over to him and sat down. "What's wrong?"
Gu Yanling herself couldn't tell what was wrong, so she said, "Nothing."
Xiao Xinghan took the pillow away from his arms, held his face, made him face him, and stroked his cheek with his thumb, "You're making such a long face, is it okay to scream?"
Gu Yanling snorted coldly: "I just annoy you."
Xiao Xinghan paused: "Bothering me?"
Gu Yanling looked at him, curled her lips, and said with a bit of distress: "It's not that I really bother you."
Woo woo, he really didn't know what was wrong. He didn't want to see Xiao Xinghan at the moment, but if the other party didn't come to coax him, Gu Yanling would feel even more uncomfortable. He would probably curse Xiao Xinghan in his sleep all night.
Xiao Xinghan couldn't help but feel angry and amused when he heard him say this: "In that case, I'm leaving."
Gu Yanling hurriedly hugged him and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm still angry, how could you do this? You haven't coaxed me well yet, you are not allowed to leave!"
Xiao Xinghan had no intention of leaving, so he let him hold her: "Aren't you tired of me?"
Gu Yanling finally told the truth: "I've already said that I'm not really annoyed with you, I just feel uncomfortable, but I can't explain why. Woo woo."
Xiao Xinghan knew Gu Yanling's personality. He could not keep things to himself and would say anything. It was rare for him to be like this today. Seeing that he was anxious, he lowered his head and kissed him, then asked patiently, "What happened?"
Gu Yanling shook her head and tilted her head up to kiss Xiao Xinghan's lips. Soon, Xiao Xinghan held her on his lap, held the back of her neck, and kissed her until she was gasping for breath.
Xiao Xinghan wiped his tears.
Gu Yanling just sat on his lap, buried her face in his shoulder, and after a moment, she said, "I'm hungry."
Xiao Xinghan asked someone to bring in the meal. Gu Yanling sat on the stool and started to eat. Xiao Xinghan had already had dinner. He usually didn't eat much at night, so he just sat aside to accompany Gu Yanling.
After Gu Yanling had eaten her fill, she thought about her actions just now and felt a little puzzled.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Yanling rinsed her mouth with tea and replied, "Nothing, Master, why don't you go and rest? What are you doing here with me?"
This time, Xiao Xinghan was so angry that he laughed and got up and left.
Gu Yanling didn't chase after him. She raised her hand to untie the ring he had just tied on her bun, played with it in her palm for a while, and then threw it into the drawer.
After resting for half an incense stick, Gu Yanling went to take a bath, and then walked leisurely towards Xiao Xinghan's bedroom with her hair loose. When Li Youfu saw him coming, he calmly led the servants in the room out.
Gu Yanling called out in a sweet voice, "Master!"
Xiao Xinghan ignored him.
Gu Yanling opened the bed curtains, climbed onto the bed, and dozed off under the quilt. She lay on top of Xiao Xinghan and looked him in the eyes with a smile: "Master, why don't you pay attention to me when you're awake?"
Xiao Xinghan said calmly: "I'm going to sleep."
Gu Yanling thought to herself, why is he pretending? She sat down on his bed, reached out and released the still sleeping eagle, and held it in her hand.
As soon as the eagle touched Gu Yanling, it woke up very quickly.
Gu Yanling said maliciously, "How can the young master sleep like this?"
He brought it to his door, so how could Xiao Xinghan not eat it?
Soon the bed began to shake violently.
It was Gu Yanling who took the initiative to provoke, and he was also the one who cried his heart out in the end. His body was covered in sweat and his eyelids were swollen from crying. Fortunately, he did not faint like the first time.
Gu Yanling was naturally unhappy because Xiao Xinghan was still holding her ankle and continued regardless of her wishes even though she had just said no. So she lost her temper and said, "You put it all in again."
There are so many more!
He didn't dare to move, because if he moved he would come out!
Gu Yanling's face felt a little hot. If she had known this earlier, she would not have taken a bath.
Xiao Xinghan was in a very good mood at the moment. The other party's spoiled personality looked a bit cute in his eyes. "I'll carry you to wash."
Gu Yanling was a little reluctant and felt uncomfortable. She was almost unable to hold back her breath: "If someone sees this, they will think too much."
Xiao Xinghan didn't mention that he had just yelled so loudly. Everyone in the courtyard had heard it. If he said this, they would probably get angry again. "They don't have the guts to think too much."
Gu Yanling was still a little unhappy. He was carried to the bathroom and allowed Xiao Xinghan to wash him. He was so embarrassed that he almost fainted. "Don't you dare get in there again next time!"
How could Xiao Xinghan agree to him? He liked to see Gu Yanling's thin belly being...filled up^-^.
When the two came back, the bedroom had been cleaned.
Gu Yanling was so tired that she fell asleep before her head even touched the pillow, and slept until noon the next day.
He sat up suddenly, grimacing again, but did not continue lying down. The eunuch waiting in the room heard the noise and hurried to help him wash up.
On the way to the front hall, Gu Yanling walked in a very conspicuous manner, as if he was afraid that others would notice that he was unwell.
Seeing him coming, Li Youfu quickly stepped forward to help him, but Gu Yanling didn't let him and slapped his hand, "What are you doing?"
Li Youfu smiled and withdrew his hand, asking the eunuch to bring a cushion.
Xiao Xinghan stood up, put his arm around Gu Yanling's waist, and held his hand. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Gu Yanling sat on the cushioned stool: "You promised me that you would go out for a walk with me today."
Xiao Xinghan: "...You can still go out for a walk like this?"
Gu Yanling: "Why not? I'm just so hungry that my penis is weak. I'll be fine after I eat."
Xiao Xinghan: "If you want to go out for a walk, you can do it anytime. No need to show off."
Gu Yanling: "Who's showing off! Do you think you're that great? Not only can I walk, I can also run!"
Xiao Xinghan: "..."
Gu Yanling said this hastily and immediately covered her mouth. She looked around as if nothing had happened, but she didn't dare to look at Xiao Xinghan.
If Xiao Xinghan hadn't let him go yesterday because he was crying miserably, he would have been so arrogant again today. Gu Yanling knew it in her heart and felt guilty after she finished speaking. When she heard Xiao Xinghan say with a half-smile, "You can still run. I guess I didn't try hard enough yesterday."
Woo woo woo.
Gu Yanling no longer dared to argue. She knew how strong Xiao Xinghan was and the difference in their physical strength. She was very self-aware and worried that he would do something so bad next time that she would be unable to get out of bed for three days. She quickly said, "Speechless! I was just talking nonsense! I didn't say anything!!"
Xiao Xinghan pinched his earlobe and sneered, "Little coward."
Gu Yanling was angry but dared not say anything, thinking to herself that this was called knowing the current situation! What the hell did she know?
-
"Why am I eating so light again?"
Gu Yanling showed no interest in the dishes in front of her and put down her chopsticks: "No more, no more. I'll go out to eat later."
Xiao Xinghan: "You can't eat spicy food even when you go out."
Although Gu Yanling was born and raised in Jiangnan, she also liked Sichuan cuisine. However, she continued to eat while her mouth turned red from the spiciness and she shed tears.
Even though she was half a doctor, she knew that she had to eat light food afterwards. Gu Yanling thought to herself that this was really torture. She would definitely not serve Xiao Xinghan next time. This would definitely be the last time!
After finishing the meal and resting for half an hour, Gu Yanling could no longer sit still and asked Xiao Xinghan to accompany her out of the house.
Seeing that he was determined to go out, Xiao Xinghan had no choice but to follow him. Gu Yanling hugged Xiao Xinghan's arm and said, "Master, let's go to the chess hall."
Seeing that he was trying every possible means to pull him out of the house, but then mentioned going to the chess hall, Xiao Xinghan asked, "What are you planning?"
What plan could he come up with? Yangfeng Restaurant was just across the street from the chess hall. If he met Hu Jiawei later, it would be a perfect opportunity to put his plan into practice.
Gu Yanling said, "What can I do? It's so boring for the young master to play games with himself all day long. I am doing this for the young master's own good."
"I want the young master to accompany me out for a stroll, but I don't want him to walk around the city too much."
Xiao Xinghan glanced at Gu Yanling because of what he said.
Gu Yanling pretended to be aggrieved: "What if the young master meets his soulmate on Red Luan Star while wandering around? I won't have any chance to show up. I'm afraid he will just leave me aside."
Xiao Xinghan didn't expect that he was still thinking about this matter. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful about telling him that he never believed this. "It's not true. You don't have to worry."
Gu Yanling: "I'd rather believe it!"
"Anyway, you can't wander around, so just stay in the chess hall!"
Xiao Xinghan was not someone who could be easily fooled. Judging from Gu Yanling's personality, if she really cared that much, she would not have dragged him out of the house so eagerly. His actions made Xiao Xinghan curious, and he wanted to see what he was planning.
"Then it's up to you."
After entering the chess hall and asking for a private room, Gu Yanling was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he watched Xiao Xinghan and others play chess with great interest. Although he himself was a poor chess player, he liked to give instructions and sat aside to teach the chess player opposite him, who was over fifty years old, how to make a move.
The chess player was very well-mannered and smiled without saying anything. Finally, Xiao Xinghan spoke up: "If you're bored, let Li Youfu go out for a walk with you."
Gu Yanling was waiting for Xiao Xinghan to send her away because he couldn't stand it anymore: "Then I'll go out and buy some snacks for the young master."
Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."
Gu Yanling left the private room and waved her hand without waiting for Li Youfu to follow her. "I'm not going far. I'm going to buy some snacks across the street. Don't follow me."
Li Youfu had received His Highness's order after all, so he said in embarrassment: "This——"
Gu Yanling: "What? I'm not as noble as a young master. You are not allowed to follow me."
Chang Feng: "Since Yuanbao doesn't want to follow, then don't follow. He wanders around the city all day long, nothing can go wrong."
Gu Yanling: "That's right."
Li Youfu had no choice but to give up. Seeing Gu Yanling leaving the chess hall, he said, "Why do I feel like my right eyelid is twitching a little bit?"
Chang Feng: "I didn't sleep well."
Li Youfu thought that he had not slept well recently. In the past, His Highness would go to bed at 11:00 p.m., but these past few days, even when the moon was at its zenith, the room was still not quiet.
Gu Yanling walked out of the chess hall and went straight across to the door of the restaurant. He threw a silver ingot and walked in with a swagger. Sure enough, he saw Hu Jiawei eating and drinking, looking very comfortable and humming a little tune.
Gu Yanling sat down not far from him, ordered a pot of wine, opened the lid, and stood up.
Before Hu Jiawei could react, he was splashed with wine in the face. Before he could wipe his face and stand up, the wine jug was thrown at him again. He couldn't dodge it and heard an arrogant and domineering voice: "Where did you come from, this blind and conscienceless bastard? How dare you knock over your grandfather's wine! You really want to die!"
The customers in the restaurant were usually afraid of Hu Jiawei, but now they were like watching a play, and they had a little more admiration for this plain-looking young man. They thought his scolding was good, but they couldn't help but worry for him, fearing that Hu Jiawei would make him pay for it.
After cursing, Gu Yanling ran out, running faster than a rabbit.
Hu Jiawei had been dominating for so long, but he had never been treated so provocatively. He stood up and kicked over the small table. He walked out with a gloomy look on his face and shouted angrily to his newly recruited thugs outside the restaurant, "See where that son of a bitch, Black Loach, ran off to?"
After Gu Yanling had finished provoking her, she naturally wanted to wait for someone to catch up, so she didn't run very fast. She waited for Hu Jiawei and his thugs to come over and cursed, "You're looking for death. If I don't peel off your skin today, you won't know who's in charge in Yangzhou. You dare to tamper with the emperor? I think you're tired of living!"
Gu Yanling quickly ran to the chess hall and shouted, "Master! Help! Someone is trying to skin me alive! Brother Chang Feng! Someone is trying to beat me to death!"
Hu Jiawei, his face thick with blood, was furious as he shouted, "Let's see who dares to save you! Today I'll teach you who you shouldn't mess with!"
Gu Yanling: "Master! Help! Someone is trying to skin Yuanbao alive!"
There was such a loud commotion outside that it was impossible for the people inside the chess hall not to hear it. Chang Feng frowned and said, "It was Yuanbao's voice."
Xiao Xinghan threw the chess piece back into the jar and looked down from the second-floor window. He saw a group of people chasing Gu Yanling aggressively. He jumped directly and landed in front of Gu Yanling.
Gu Yanling was a little confused: "Master, where are you from?"
Xiao Xinghan saw him sweating profusely and frowned: "What's going on?"
Gu Yanling hurriedly hugged Xiao Xinghan's waist, pointed at Hu Jiawei who was running over, and said aggrievedly, "Master, I accidentally spilled some wine on him just now, and he wanted to kill me and even skin me alive. He wanted to teach me who I shouldn't mess with!"
Xiao Xinghan's expression suddenly turned cold when he heard this.
Hu Jiawei had already come up to him. He had never seen Xiao Xinghan before, but seeing how handsome he was, he had no reason to be afraid. He said disdainfully, "I thought you were looking for help, but you found this pretty boy—"
Chang Feng had already come downstairs and stood in front of them. Li Youfu followed him and, upon hearing these disrespectful words, cursed, "How outrageous! How outrageous!"
Although Hu Jiawei didn't know Xiao Xinghan, he had seen Li Youfu and Chang Feng driving yesterday. When he realized who the person he called a pretty boy was, he broke out in a cold sweat. Especially since the other person had an icy face and a condescending arrogance, he trembled after just a moment's glance.
How could he know that this pretty boy was actually a big shot who refused to give his brother-in-law face despite his repeated requests!
With such a big commotion, many people gathered to watch the fun.
Gu Yanling was secretly happy in her heart, burying her face in Xiao Xinghan's arms and almost laughing out loud. This guy was really asking for death. He actually dared to call Xiao Xinghan a pretty boy, haha.
