Chapter 54
Xiao Xinghan no longer paid attention to Gu Yanling, but asked someone to prepare a meal.
Gu Yanling was in no mood to eat now, her mind was full of what Xiao Xinghan had just said.
He really recognized him, otherwise how could he explain what he did to him today? Although he cursed Xiao Xinghan in his heart for abusing his power and forcibly seizing men, he actually believed in his heart that Xiao Xinghan was not such a person.
Then everything can be explained. Xiao Xinghan treated him like this because he recognized him. Oh no, he is really finished now. Judging from the tone of Xiao Xinghan's words just now, he seemed to be very angry.
What do you mean you've been looking for me for three years? Has it really taken that long?
Gu Yanling was so engrossed in her thoughts that her face was almost buried in the bowl.
Xiao Xinghan: "You eat with your face?"
When Gu Yanling heard his words, her eyes moved, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she ate her rice slowly. After all, she was hungry. Although she was not in the mood, Gu Yanling still ate two bowls of rice before putting down her chopsticks.
Li Youfu took the tea brought by the servant and brought it to Gu Yanling.
After rinsing his mouth with tea, Gu Yanling decided to deny it. This was the idea he had come up with while eating. What if Xiao Xinghan recognized him? Is there any evidence?
As long as he doesn't admit it, he won't have to worry about the charge of deception and trickery!
However, Gu Yanling was scratching her head and wondering how Xiao Xinghan could recognize her. It shouldn't be like that. He had taken a disguise pill before and his facial features and skin color had changed. There was clearly no resemblance at all.
Xiao Xinghan kept staring at Gu Yanling, and saw that his eyes were darting around, and his expression had not changed at all, as if he couldn't see enough and just wanted to make up for the three years of longing for her.
Even though he was annoyed, he had to admit that only when he held the person in his arms and kissed him did he feel his heart was filled.
Gu Yanling looked up and met Xiao Xinghan's gaze. She blinked, then quickly looked away. She pinched her fingers and laughed dryly: "Haha, I'm so full."
Xiao Xinghan ignored him.
It was already late, and Xiao Xinghan obviously had no intention of returning to the palace, so Li Youfu asked people to prepare all the necessary utensils for the prince's bathing and to tidy up the bedroom.
Gu Yanling was worried about An An, so she walked over to Xiao Xinghan and said, "Your Highness, can I go home and report that I'm safe before coming back?"
Xiao Xinghan said nothing and walked towards the bathroom.
Gu Yanling followed him and tried to bargain with him: "You, if you are worried, you can send someone to follow me closely."
Xiao Xinghan: "I have already told your family, you don't have to worry."
Gu Yanling scratched his face. His parents were fine, but An An was so young and didn't understand anything. Without him by her side at night, she would definitely cry and not be able to sleep.
Seeing his anxious expression, Xiao Xinghan stopped and said, "I'll go with you."
“…”
Gu Yanling waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no need."
Xiao Xinghan snorted coldly. Seeing that he refused to agree, Gu Yanling stopped following him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xinghan turned around and glared at him: "Why don't you come and help me bathe."
Gu Yanling thought that this service might be more than just service, so she finally went into the bathroom.
The two of them had already been frank with each other in the side room in the afternoon, but Gu Yanling was spanked at that time and was so embarrassed that she didn't even look at him carefully. She lowered her head to undress him. As soon as the outer robe fell off, he was picked up upright with his feet in the air. Gu Yanling subconsciously put her arms around Xiao Xinghan's neck and wrapped her body around Xiao Xinghan's waist.
Gu Yanling lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Xinghan, their noses rubbing against each other. Gu Yanling swallowed unconsciously, and Xiao Xinghan kissed his lower lip.
Pry open his teeth little by little.
The bathroom was filled with hot steam, and Gu Yanling's face was steamed red. There was a gleam of water in her eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Gu Yanling was kissed unconscious, and when he came to his senses, his clothes had been taken off without him knowing, and Xiao Xinghan carried him into the water.
In the pool, Xiao Xinghan continued to kiss him. Seeing that he was not kissing her enough, Gu Yanling pushed him away and said, "Your tongue hurts."
Xiao Xinghan: "Spoiled."
Finally, she let go of his lips and kissed his neck. Gu Yanling soon couldn't bear it anymore and sobbed.
Xiao Xinghan kissed him while using the water to massage his private parts, so that only the tips of his fingers could enter.
Gu Yanling buried her face in his shoulder.
Xiao Xinghan withdrew his hand and saw that he was so embarrassed that his earlobe was about to bleed. In the past, his skin was dark and his shyness was not so obvious. Now his skin was so white and glowing that a light touch on it would leave an ambiguous red mark.
…
Gu Yanling always felt that Xiao Xinghan was more sexually aroused now. He came twice in the afternoon and she let him serve her with his feet twice in the pool before she gave up.
Not only that, he was kissed all over his body, and now there was no good place on his body, all covered with marks left by the other party.
Although Gu Yanling was tired, he couldn't sleep. What happened today was so sudden that he was not prepared at all. He followed Xiao Xinghan back to the bedroom but did not go to bed.
Xiao Xinghan saw him standing by the window and walked over. "Aren't you sleepy?"
Gu Yanling was worried: "I can't sleep."
He didn't know what Xiao Xinghan was thinking.
Xiao Xinghan hugged him from behind, "Since you can't sleep——"
Gu Yanling understood the meaning of his words and interrupted him: "I can sleep, I can sleep, I'll sleep right away!"
As he said this, he pretended to yawn. He was not as energetic as Xiao Xinghan. He was already so exhausted in the pool that he had no room left.
Xiao Xinghan let him go.
Gu Yanling followed him to the bedside: "Your Highness, why don't I go to the guest room to sleep."
Xiao Xinghan looked at him sullenly.
Gu Yanling quickly took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, while Xiao Xinghan lay outside.
In the past, Gu Yanling had wrapped her arms and legs around Xiao Xinghan and hugged him tightly, but now the situation was reversed. Xiao Xinghan hugged Gu Yanling from behind. Gu Yanling was much smaller than Xiao Xinghan, and was held tightly in Xiao Xinghan's arms and legs.
Gu Yanling didn't move, and finally raised her hand and quietly placed it on Xiao Xinghan's wrist.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Xiao Xinghan got up before dawn. Although he stepped quietly, Gu Yanling still woke up. She rubbed her eyes and was still a little dazed.
"Why are you up so early?"
Xiao Xinghan: "You continue to sleep, I have to go to the morning court."
Gu Yanling heard that he was leaving and quickly sat up, "Can I go home then?"
Xiao Xinghan didn't say anything.
Gu Yanling was already a little unhappy about being woken up so early in the morning. Seeing that he still disagreed, she said angrily, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are the crown prince! You are illegally detaining and imprisoning me!!"
As soon as he said this, Li Youfu, who was helping Xiao Xinghan get dressed, knelt on the ground. As soon as Li Youfu knelt, all the other servants in the room followed suit.
Gu Yanling: “…”
Xiao Xinghan finally spoke, saying calmly: "You must come back at noon. If you run away, you and your family will also run away."
Gu Yanling heard his agreement and nodded quickly, "No, no, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be back as soon as I can report that I'm safe!"
Xiao Xinghan: "Yeah."
Gu Yanling got off the bed, stepped on her sandals, walked over to Xiao Xinghan, and put the belt on him. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Xinghan: "Just say thank you?"
Gu Yanling rolled her eyes in her heart. He couldn’t even go back to his own home freely, and he didn’t even want to thank him verbally!
The servants were kneeling on the ground. Gu Yanling was not embarrassed. She raised her head and kissed Xiao Xinghan on the chin.
Xiao Xinghan was going to the morning court, so he let him go for the time being. "I'll be back at noon. If I don't see you, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Gu Yanling didn't ask him about the consequences: "I will come back, I will come back!"
Xiao Xinghan believed that he would not dare to play tricks again, so he left.
Gu Yanling didn't want to sleep either. She quickly put on her clothes, washed up, and left the Prince's Mansion. However, she was followed by four guards. Gu Yanling didn't say anything. Chunjing Street was a bit far from the downtown area and it would take a quarter of an hour to walk. Xiao Xinghan should have explained it. Gu Yanling saw a carriage parked outside the mansion. It was early in the morning and it was just dawn. Gu Yanling was too lazy to walk, so she got in the carriage.
When they arrived at the gate of his house, Gu Yanling asked the guards not to follow them but to stay at the door so as not to scare his family.
The news that Gu Yanling was taken away by the prince last night made Gu Qifu and Su Lixiao so worried that they couldn't sleep all night.
It was Gu Lanpan who said that since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone over, it meant that Gu Yanling's life was not in danger. Having said that, this commoner suddenly implicated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which made people worry.
As soon as Gu Yanling arrived at the front hall, his mother pulled him over to see what was happening. Seeing her son had returned safely, she finally felt relieved. "Yan'er, what's going on? How did you end up offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Gu Qifu was also worried: "You didn't get into trouble outside, did you?"
Gu Yanling didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that his parents would be upset. "I didn't get into trouble. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a liking to me right away, so he invited me to his house."
Gu Qifu clearly didn't believe it. "What do you mean by hit it off right away? I heard from Lord Shen's son that His Highness had you taken away directly! He even asked us if you'd returned, and asked us if you'd offended His Highness the Crown Prince in any way!"
"You're going to scare your mother and me to death. Your mother was so worried she didn't sleep all night!"
Su Lixiao covered her face and cried, "Yan'er, tell me the truth. Have you offended the Crown Prince in some way?"
Gu Yanling pretended to be relaxed and said, "No, it's true. His Highness invited me to his mansion because I looked like an old friend. If I had really offended the Crown Prince, how could I stand here and talk to you? Didn't His Highness send someone to deliver a message yesterday? He was afraid you would worry."
Gu Qifu: "It's good that we didn't offend him. We can't afford to offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Gu Yanling: "Dad, Mom, don't think too much. Besides, I have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Is Dad afraid that he won't be able to become an imperial merchant in the future? Maybe in the future, the Empress in the palace will even be able to ask my sister to make her clothes."
Gu Qifu was very disappointed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care about these trivial matters. Dad doesn't expect you to get close to His Highness. Just behave yourself and don't get me into trouble."
Gu Yanling: "I know, I know. I'm sorry to have made you worry about me. I'm fine. You guys go and have a rest. I'll go see An An."
Su Lixiao was heartbroken when she mentioned An An. Last night, An An went home and didn't see Gu Yanling, and she kept crying. Su Lixiao stayed with her and coaxed her for a long time. Finally, she fell asleep because she was tired of crying. "You should go and see her soon."
Gu Yanling was also thinking about the child, so she turned and went to her own yard.
The cub is still sleeping.
As soon as Gu Yanling sat down beside the bed, the little guy opened his eyes. When he saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise, "Daddy!"
Gu Yanling picked him up and let him kiss each cheek a few times, "My dear, did you cry for a long time last night?"
The cub hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go: "An An didn't see Daddy."
Gu Yanling coaxed, "Daddy misses An An too."
Cub: "Then why doesn't Daddy come back?"
Gu Yanling asked Zhaocai to leave and whispered in his ear, "Your mother took me away."
The cub's eyes suddenly widened.
Gu Yanling: "Don't tell this to grandma or anyone else. Just keep it as a little secret between Daddy and An An."
The cub nodded and said seriously: "An An won't tell."
Gu Yanling: "Didn't Daddy tell you before that your mother is a vicious monster? If she knew you existed, she would take you away and we would never meet again. But luckily, she doesn't know you exist yet. Even if she did, she probably wouldn't be able to guess your identity. You are safe."
Gu Yanling spoke everything without caring whether the little guy could understand or not.
"Hey, I'm not safe right now. I lied to your mother before, and she's very angry now. She's not in a good mood towards me. I suspect he's thinking of something to do to me."
"But I think he still has feelings for me, so I don't think the punishment will be too severe. Who knows? He's a bit moody right now, and he's always getting sullen. He even said he'd break my legs."
An An was held in Gu Yanling's arms, listening to his father mumbling. No matter how smart he was, he was still young after all and could not understand what his father was saying at all.
But all he could remember was that his mother wanted to separate him from his father! His mother was so mean!
Gu Yanling didn't come back last night, and An An didn't go to his grandmother's yard today. He kept sticking to his father. The father and son stayed in the yard for the whole morning, and it was almost noon.
Gu Yanling had no choice but to go back, "An An, Daddy has to go to your mother's place, otherwise she will get angry and won't allow us to meet."
"Daddy will come to see you tomorrow, okay?"
An An immediately burst into tears: "How could Mother be so mean! An An doesn't want to be separated from Daddy!"
Gu Yanling was afraid that others would hear, so she hurriedly coaxed him, "Don't let anyone hear. Be good, and daddy will bring you something delicious tomorrow, okay?"
An An didn't say anything, but looked at him with aggrieved eyes.
Gu Yanling: "If I don't leave now, your mother will be angry. If she is angry, our whole house will suffer."
An An nodded, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Then Daddy, you must come back to see An An tomorrow."
Gu Yanling kissed him.
-
Gu Qifu did not go to the cloth shop today. When he heard the servant hurried over to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here, he hurried to the front hall and asked the servant if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had anything to say.
"His Royal Highness didn't say a word. The man following him said His Royal Highness is here to pick up the young master."
Gu Qifu always felt that these words were a little strange, and he didn't have the brain to think about it at the moment. He was afraid that the Crown Prince would wait anxiously, so he hurried to the front hall.
Xiao Xinghan did not sit down, but stood in the front hall, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Just looking at his back, he looked heroic and extraordinary, exuding nobility from head to toe.
Gu Qifu came in and knelt down to pay his respects. "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Xiao Xinghan turned around: "Get up."
Li Youfu knew that this man was Gu Yanling's father, so he went to help him up. Gu Qifu felt even more strange. After thanking Li Youfu, he raised his head to see Xiao Xinghan's handsome face clearly, and froze in place.
Gu Qifu has been dealing with people for many years and has an excellent memory. This person - this person was the big shot in Yangzhou back then!!!
When Gu Yanling heard the servant say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, he hurried to the front hall. When he stepped in, he saw his father's stunned look and knew that his father had recognized him.
Gu Yanling retracted her feet and tried to escape.
Xiao Xinghan looked past Gu Qifu and towards Gu Yanling: "Come here."
Gu Yanling: “…”
