The Gu family has many women, each with a different personality, yet they also share some commonalities. And it's worth noting that Gu Shouxin usually observes them closely.
He didn't understand the saying "a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea" before, but now he feels he does.
...
"Sisters, you're finally back! I've missed you all so much!" As soon as she arrived at her third aunt's house, Huo Yanyu ran over and gave each of them a hug, as if she were the mistress of the house.
"Miss Huo, have you eaten? Did you win at mahjong?" Gu Xin asked.
"Sister Xin, please don't call me that. I'm going to be one of your sisters, so I want to have the same name as you. Yanyan? Yuyu?" Huo Yanyu linked arms with Gu Xin and started giving herself a name.
“Miss Huo, the names of us sisters all have a ‘core’ at the bottom, but yours, Yan Yu, doesn’t!” Gu Nian said with a smile.
“Sister Nian, I know you’re the best. You’re knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times and have a quick mind. Why don’t you give me a name?” Huo Yanyu took Gu Nian’s arm again.
"How about we name him Hanhan?" Gu Nian thought for a moment and suggested.
"Pfft!" Huo Junhao happened to come out and heard this, and couldn't help but laugh. "Sister Nian Nian, this account is really nice! Hello, Silly Sister, I'm your brother!"
Huo Yanyu: ...
...
After chatting with Aunt Gu for a while, everyone went home. They agreed to come back tomorrow to play a game of mahjong, and then go back to the village the day after tomorrow.
Huo Junhao went back with Lu Zheng, while Huo Yanyu went back with the Gu family. Since they were all girls, it didn't matter if they slept in the same room.
Huo Yanyu is incredibly outgoing and a chatterbox; she chatted with the four sisters until they fell asleep at night.
Listening to the sounds coming from her daughters' room, Cai Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh. Then, thinking of the Li family's situation, she sighed, "Dad, how did Sister Luo end up like this? Before, I thought the Duke and Duchess of Rongguo were quite nice, but in the last two weeks, I've felt that he's become a bit arrogant. Especially when he talks about Muyan and Niannian, it feels like our Niannian is marrying up to Li Muyan. It makes me very uncomfortable."
Gu Shouxin turned to the side: "It depends on Niannian's feelings. Niannian seems clever, but she's quite clueless when it comes to matters of the heart."
Cai Xiaolian wholeheartedly agreed: "Isn't that right? I heard from Sister Luo that the two of them have been corresponding since last month, but I don't know if there's been any progress. Dad, do you think Nian Nian and Mu Yan are really a good match?"
Gu Shouxin didn't answer directly, but thought for a moment and said, "It still comes down to Niannian's feelings. If she wants to marry, we'll give her a grand wedding procession, a wedding that all women in the world would envy. If she doesn't want to marry, with me here, no one can force her. It's just that her thoughts are really hard to figure out. Unlike Xinxin, you can see at a glance that she's already got Ayuan in her heart, just waiting for her to realize it herself. In your and Niannian's words, Xinxin's eyes shine with light, like stars, when she looks at Ayuan."
"Pfft!" Cai Xiaolian laughed when she heard the last sentence. "Your Excellency is really amazing, you can even see that. But I do like A Yuan quite a bit. I liked him even before Renren told me about his character. Didn't Xinxin say before that A Yuan wanted to leave her alone to die? That's hilarious. That girl, is that what you call leaving her? That's giving her the hope of life."
Gu Shouxin: "She just told me that if she has the chance in the future, she will help A Yuan beat up his scumbag father."
Cai Xiaolian: "What she told me was that she would make A Yuan pay back double for the pain his stepmother had caused him!"
There was a moment of silence in the room, then they said in unison, "The little tiger cub has been raised, not to fight against the male lead, but to protect him."
The couple exchanged a glance and sighed silently.
