Zheng Qiu, who thought she would doze off, felt much more awake and energetic after drinking the water.
Gu Xin observed her and found that she was in much better spirits, so she leaned on Lu Zheng's shoulder and chatted with her.
"Xiao Qiu, do you really not like our Enzi?" Gu Xin asked.
"Hmm?" Zheng Qiu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not that I dislike him, it's just that we disagree on some things. In the past, I really thought that Fourth Young Master Gu was quite good, and I know that many girls in the capital liked his type. However, what he said that day did make me very unhappy."
“Xiao Qiu, actually Enzi just doesn’t know how to express himself. That’s not what he really thinks. Maybe it’s because he has been traveling around on business for many years and has seen a lot of different people and things. Coupled with our family’s situation, he believes that after two people get married, no matter what happens, they must not develop feelings for other people,” Gu Xin explained.
“I understand. It’s just that the way he spoke reminded me of my mother’s husband back then.” Zheng Qiu gave a self-deprecating smile.
“Xiaoqiu, I understand your thoughts. I’m telling you all this so that you won’t be prejudiced against Enzi. In our family, no one would develop feelings for someone other than their spouse. Enzi believes that developing feelings for someone other than one’s husband or wife is unfaithful.” Gu Xin continued, “He has never loved anyone. He doesn’t know what it feels like to be moved. He only liked a little girl when he was a child, but that wasn’t being moved. He just thought she was pretty and cute, different from the other girls in the village.”
“I know that it’s hard to control your heart. If your partner treats you well, how can you be attracted to someone else? Unless you’re a fickle person. You have to believe me, there are no fickle people in the Gu family, only devoted people.” Gu Xin said, glancing at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng smiled at her.
Aren't the Gu family all devoted people? Even the unreliable Uncle Gu, after marrying Aunt Gu, probably only has family and other people in his eyes.
"Xinxin, I understand." Zheng Qiu nodded.
The reason she didn't sleep well last night was because she had been overthinking things before bed.
She herself couldn't understand it. In fact, during the years she had dressed as a man, she had encountered many people, even more annoying than Gu Enyan, but none of them had been so aggressive.
She felt that it might be because she initially had a good impression of Gu En, but later realized that Gu En was no different from others in this respect, which made her a little disappointed!
In the end, she didn't actually know why she was like that.
“Enzi is simple-minded. He considers you one of his own, and he can be completely open with you. Although he says that it is normal for men in the Great Zhou to marry wives and take concubines, he doesn’t really agree with it in his heart. My grandfather, my eldest uncle, my father, and my fourth uncle are all his role models. He can’t possibly go astray,” Gu Xin added.
“Yes, I understand. I will try to change my attitude in the future.” Zheng Qiu nodded and then smiled. “Actually, at first, I really thought that Young Master Gu was a good person. He was the kind of person that people say. But when I suddenly heard him say that, I felt a little angry. I felt that he was not that kind of person. I was also a little disappointed! Maybe it was because of my parents’ influence.”
