Chapter 16 Hundred Days Banquet

"What nonsense." He said unhappily.

"The water temperature is too high. I'll just add some cold water. Don't keep saying that word."

That word? Which word? Oh, the word death.

Zhou Nuan came back to her senses and caught a glimpse of his furrowed brows. She realized belatedly that she had overreacted and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper with you. I don't know what's wrong with me."

Although she is a bit spoiled, she has never been rude or unreasonable. Her mood has indeed been very up and down in the past two days.

Gu Xiyue didn't take it to heart.

In fact, he had some understanding of what was going on with her. There was a sister-in-law in the military family compound who had just given birth and was in the same condition. The soldier under him suffered a lot. This was probably caused by the hormones that the doctor said.

"It's okay, I'll be more careful next time."

He went out with the bucket, and when he came back he had changed the bucket of water. He reached out to feel it, and it was neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

Gu Xiyue was quite gentlemanly. He put down the bucket and went out directly. He also considerately closed the door. This made Zhou Nuan, who didn't know how to ask him to leave, feel relieved.

They were husband and wife, so if he insisted on staying, she had no reason to kick him out.

However, what did Gu Xiyue feel about the original body? The two met through a blind date and got married after less than two meetings. She only knew that the original body was afraid of him, so what about him?

Does he like it or not?

In the following days, Zhou Nuan lived a very comfortable life. Xiaodong and Xiaoxi had been taken home a long time ago. The two little guys could eat and sleep well without making any noise. They were very easy to take care of. They could be said to be angel babies.

Of course, she couldn't make trouble. Perhaps it was because of the two children, but Qin Yuezhi was happy and her health improved a lot. She could even help her take care of the children at night.

Zhou Nuan was worried and wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it because of Qin Yuezhi's eager expression. Anyway, she didn't have milk, so she could just go with Qin Yuezhi. She couldn't just leave it all to Qin Yuezhi. If Qin Yuezhi took one, she would take another, and they would take turns.

She has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

Gu Xiyue didn't live in her room either, but squeezed into the same room with little Su Hang. Zhou Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief about this.

Although the two are now husband and wife, to her, they are still strangers. She just can't get over the mental barrier of sleeping together like this.

In another week, she will be out of confinement, which is the 100th day of the twins. According to the old custom of Jiangzhou City, they celebrate the 100th day instead of the full month, and Gu Fusheng and Gu Xiaoxian are no exception.

By the way, Xiaodong and Xiaoxi now have names, which she took from the poem “Stealing a Half Day of Leisure in the Floating Life”. She just picked them casually. Gu Xiyue had no objection to this.

The child she had worked so hard to give birth to, didn't she even have the right to have a name? Taking his surname, Gu Xiyue, was already her biggest concession, after all, his surname sounded nice.

That night, the family discussed the hundred-day banquet.

Xiaodong and Xiaoxi fell asleep. Xiaoxi was held by Gu Xiyue, while Xiaodong was held by Xiao Suhang. Xiao Suhang acted like an older brother and liked the pair of siblings very much. Whenever he had time, he would hold them in his arms, and Zhou Nuan couldn't get them in his arms even if she wanted to.

"Or, let's just set up three tables at home," Qin Yuezhi suggested.

Gu Xiyue frowned, "Three tables are too few. We need relatives, neighbors, and people from Wantou Village."

Zhou Nuan really wanted to say that she would not invite anyone from the Zhou family, but when she thought of the red envelopes and longevity locks that He Rongsheng and Zhou Bing owed, she swallowed the words.

"Besides, I have someone coming." Gu Xiyue spoke again.

Qin Yuezhi was surprised, "You have friends coming?"

"Well, I have some friends in the army before. After the 100-day banquet, I may have to leave for a while."

If he hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Nuan would have almost forgotten about it. When it was suddenly brought up, she was a little overwhelmed to react.

He has been at home every day these days. It can be said that he took care of her throughout the entire confinement period. She did not expect that the tall and rough-looking man could take care of people quite well. Except for that time when he burned her, his performance can be summarized in the word "excellent".

She was used to having such a person around her, and when she heard that he was about to leave, Zhou Nuan actually felt reluctant to let him go.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too direct, Gu Xiyue raised his head and looked towards her.

"What's wrong?" The man looked puzzled.

"Ah... nothing."

She hurriedly lowered her head to eat, with an unnatural look on her face.

After dinner, Xiaoxi was taken away by Qin Yuezhi, who said that she would let the two children sleep with her tonight. Before leaving, she gave her a meaningful look.

Zhou Nuan was puzzled.

After a while, there was a knock on her door, and a steady and mellow voice came over.

"Zhou Nuan, are you asleep?"

Zhou Nuan, who was lying on the bed doing nothing, suddenly shuddered and turned over and sat up.

. . She finally understood what Qin Yuezhi meant by that look. The child was already three months old, but Gu Xiyue had never entered her room. No wonder Qin Yuezhi was anxious.

"I haven't slept yet." She stammered.

The door was pushed open from the outside with a creaky sound, and then, the tall figure of Gu Xiyue appeared in front of her.

The light was dim, shining softly on the man's face. The man lowered his head slightly, and his expression was not clear. He stood at the door without going in, and did not look in her direction, as if he was avoiding something.

Zhou Nuan's somewhat restless heart suddenly calmed down.

Hmm... Actually, she didn't hate the man in front of her. Her previous impression of him came from the book, but after three months of contact, she felt that the Gu Xiyue in the book was not the same as the Gu Xiyue in front of her.

"What do you want?" Her tone turned cold.

The woman in front of him suddenly spoke in a cold voice, and Gu Xiyue couldn't help but look up.

She was half-sitting, still wearing that thin short sweatshirt. This should be her old clothes. These days, she has become plumper, her face has become rounder, and her body shape has also changed. The short sweatshirt is a little tight, wrapped around her body, outlining her graceful figure.

The pants were a little short, revealing her fair calves. Her two feet were half-tucked up and stretched arrogantly towards him.

“…”

Gu Xiyue calmed himself down and ignored the two white little feet.

"I plan to hold the Hundred Days Banquet at the Yingjiang Hotel in the city. When the time comes, just let your family members go directly there. There is no need to come here."

Zhou Nuan was a little surprised.

In a restaurant in the city? Five tables, that would cost a lot, right? Isn't the Gu family very poor? Qin Yuezhi only wanted to hold three tables to save money. Where did he get the money?

Yes, I heard that every man has his own little treasury. How could a man with Gu Xiyue's personality send everything back to her without leaving a single cent?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling happy.

Fortunately, Gu Xiyue did not do that, otherwise even if he sent them all back, the brainless original owner would just feed them all to her mother's family.
