Chapter 17: Apology for My Arbitrariness
"Would you like to walk with me?" Gu Huailing looked at Chen Yuan.
Those dark eyes were filled with emotions that Shen Yuan couldn't understand.
For some unknown reason, Shen Yuan nodded.
At the end of the bluestone, in the deep bamboo sea, the golden and jade bamboos moved without wind, and the two walked side by side.
"Ayuan, you don't have to be so reserved."
Gu Huailing glanced at her sideways and stopped helplessly.
Was it discovered?
Shen Yuan took a step back awkwardly.
Gu Huailing looked at Chen Yuan and finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
"Ayuan, why are you afraid of me?"
"Did I scare you in some way, or did I say or do something that caused you to misunderstand?"
He still remembered how when Shen Yuan fell into the water, he jumped in to save him and the woman held him tightly.
Like a little animal, so cute.
Later, he left first due to urgent matters, but he also put on his black gold cloak for her.
She should recognize the cloak.
Even if she is not close to me, she shouldn't be afraid of me?
Gu Huailing's voice was soft and low, like the sound of cold jade striking a chime, and was particularly pleasant to the ear.
Shen Yuan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
When she first met Gu Huailing, she was not afraid.
At that time, she often came to the Gu Mansion to find Gu Jingchu.
Whenever I met Gu Huailing, he would always look at me with a sullen face.
There were also a few times when I became a little closer to Gu Jingchu.
He then scolded himself for being rude and without manners.
He even asked his servants to personally deliver the "Instructions for Women" to her and ordered her to copy it.
I thought about the Women’s Commandments that I had copied all night long.
And in her previous life, after she and Gu Jingchu got married, he was even colder when he saw her.
He fell in a pool of blood, but he didn't even try to save him!
Chen Yuan suddenly became angry. "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister is a forgetful person. You probably don't remember how you scolded me and punished me to copy the "Female Commandments"!"
She would never talk about her previous life.
But the punishment of copying the female ring cast a shadow in Shen Yuan's heart!
When she spoke, her cheeks were slightly red because of anger, and her cheeks were puffy, making her look like a baby animal, so cute.
Gu Huailing was touched by Chen Yuan's adorable look and couldn't help but chuckle.
Chen Yuan opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Huailing in disbelief.
He could actually laugh!
"So, you're afraid of me because I scolded you and asked you to copy the Women's Commandments?"
"What else?" Shen Yuan asked back with all his strength.
"You're quite vindictive." Gu Huailing murmured.
Holding a grudge? That's because you haven't copied the Women's Commandments for a whole night!
Chen Yuan secretly complained in her heart and glared at Gu Huailing.
Seeing that he had drooping eyebrows and an expressionless face, he looked mature even though he was clearly in his early twenties.
I couldn't help but mutter, "Old thing!"
Shen Yuan thought his voice was very soft.
Unfortunately, a breeze blew by, and echoes were heard from deep in the bamboo forest.
Old stuff~
Old stuff~
If the Prime Minister gets angry and buries her as fertilizer, will he be discovered?
"Old thing?" Gu Huailing chuckled, his tongue touching the tip of his teeth.
He repeated these three words in a drawling tone.
He raised his hand and reached out to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan suddenly jumped back a step.
Do you really want to use her as fertilizer?
"What are you hiding from?" Gu Huailing took a bamboo leaf from her head.
His expression suddenly became serious and solemn, "I apologize, Gu Huailing apologizes to Chen Yuan."
Shen Yuan was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
Gu Huailing took a step forward and pushed her into the bamboo forest. "I apologize for my inappropriate words and actions before."
"Also, I apologize for being so bossy."
Chen Yuan was stunned and looked up at the person in front of him.
Gu Huailing actually apologized to her?
My heart seems to be rippled, a little confused...
“Ouch~”
At this moment, a white meat ball appeared out of nowhere and bit the hem of Shen Yuan's skirt and wouldn't let go.
"Yaoyao, don't be naughty." Gu Huailing bent down and picked up the white ball.
After a moment's identification, Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing with surprise, "Is this the puppy we rescued in Guangou?"
"Awoo~" Before Gu Huailing could answer, Yaoyao cried out first.
"Yaoyao, be good and don't scream." Gu Huailing patted Yaoyao lightly.
Shen Yuan realized it later and looked at the dog and then at Gu Huailing.
"What's it called?"
"Yaoyao." Gu Huailing looked at Chen Yuan with a faint smile.
Yaoyao is Chen Yuan’s nickname.
Chen Yuan wanted to argue with Gu Huailing, but she didn't dare.
Finally, the coward hung his head.
Gu Huailing took a step forward and handed Yaoyao in his arms to Chen Yuan.
"Do you still want him?"
This dog was originally rescued by Shen Yuan.
Later, because Gu Jingchu was allergic to dog hair, he gave it away.
I didn't expect it to be here with Gu Huailing.
Chen Yuan nodded and wanted to take Yaoyao over.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huailing did not let go.
"Do you still want him? Are you willing to take back what you said and give him another chance?"
His voice was very soft, three times softer than the wind in the bamboo forest.
Chen Yuan's heart couldn't help but beat.
It's hard to refuse such a Gu Huailing.
"Don't rush to deny it. Give him a chance. If he doesn't do well, A Yuan can discard him at any time."
Shen Yuan pursed her lips, and under the scorching gaze, she finally nodded, "Okay."
Gu Huailing's lips, which had been tense all this time, finally curved into an arc.
She took the dog from Gu Huailing, looked up at him, and cautiously offered her opinion, "Can you give it a new name?"
Gu Huailing's eyes were gentle, "What does Yaoyao want to change?"
It turns out he knew everything!
That’s too much!
Chen Yuan carried the dog and walked out.
Unexpectedly, the moment they came out of the bamboo forest, Yaoyao jumped directly out of Chen Yuan's arms.
She walked through the bamboo forest with her head held high, looking proud and noble.
The corners of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched.
"Yaoyao has been spoiled by me." Gu Huailing chuckled.
Chen Yuan was very angry and refused Gu Huailing's offer to see her off.
He walked out of the house alone.
Just as she was about to step out of the garden, a force suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Shen Yuan had no time to react.
He was dragged behind the rockery by this overbearing force.
She was pressed against the hard stone wall, causing pain in her back.
"Let me go!"
Chen Yuan just spoke, but when he saw who was coming, he suddenly stopped talking.
"You can make louder noises to attract everyone here, and it would be best if you could call my eldest brother as well."
Gu Jingchu laughed lightly, jealousy boiling between his eyebrows.
"Let go first." Chen Yuan didn't want to get entangled with Gu Jingchu any longer, so she lowered her voice.
"When I mention my elder brother, your voice softens. Chen Yuan, don't tell me that you really like my elder brother."
Gu Jingchu's eyes were full of sarcasm, and Shen Yuan's face turned pale with pain, and his expression turned completely cold.
"Who I like is none of your business."
"It's nothing? Yuan'er, don't forget that I was the one who saved you. You've been following me all these years. Who in the capital doesn't know about it?"
"You think that just because Big Brother approaches you, he likes you. That's just him trying to steal my things. Shen Yuan, who do you think you are?"
A faint smell of alcohol floated on the tip of Shen Yuan's nose, and Shen Yuan was extremely irritated.
"Gu Jingchu, you saved me, but I've done so much for you over the years, I don't owe you anything anymore."
"As for who I approach and who approaches me, that's my business."
"I know exactly how much I'm worth. Even though I'm nothing, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore!"
Gu Jingchu leaned forward and a faint smell of alcohol sprayed on Shen Yuan's cheek.
The force against her became even stronger.
