Chapter 60 Did you do it on purpose?
There were footsteps outside, and Gu Huailing walked in with a faint smile on his lips.
Gu Yao looked at the rolled-up scroll in fear, then glanced at her sister-in-law's face, gave Gu Huailing a dry laugh, and slipped out.
Gu Huailing looked at Shen Yuan's pale face, walked over, and touched her head with his hand, "Madam, are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?"
Shen Yuan took a step back, avoiding Gu Huailing's touch again, "No, nothing, let's go out."
Gu Huailing didn't say anything, his dark eyes fixed on Chen Yuan, "Madam, do you not like those jades?"
Chen Yuan shook his head, and his gaze finally relaxed a little and moved to the painting box.
Gu Huailing was so sharp that his eyes stayed on Shen Yuan's face. He reached out and picked up the box and opened it in front of the woman.
"Has the lady seen it?"
He painted other women and asked himself if he had seen them.
It was too much. Shen Yuan bit her lip and said nothing.
Gu Huailing chuckled, holding the painting in one hand and holding the woman's hand in the other, and walked towards the study.
"Could you please help me grind it, Madam?"
He even made me grind it myself, it's really an insult!
Shen Yuan's face looked bad, "My hands are sore."
Gu Huailing's eyes grew increasingly serious. He ground the ink himself and picked up the pen again.
After a moment, he put down his pen and looked at Shen Yuan, "Madam, do you want to see it?"
"Please take your time to look at it, sir." Chen Yuan felt more and more uncomfortable and turned around and left.
Gu Huailing stood in front of her and said in a gentle tone that did not allow for refusal: "Madam, be good and go look at the paintings."
He painted another woman in front of her and asked her to look at it. Did he really think he had no temper?
"I hate looking at paintings the most." Shen Yuan said and turned away.
Gu Huailing held her hand and led her to the desk. "I know that Madam doesn't like my paintings, so please help me to comment on them. After all, I want to give them to someone, and I can't show them off if they are too bad."
Chen Yuan kept her eyes down, so she didn't notice the rare teasing in Gu Huailing's eyes.
Gu Huailing hugged her from behind, "My dear Madam, just take a look."
Chen Yuan didn't want to be upset by a painting. What if it was a painting of someone else? If he wanted to take a concubine, he would immediately go and make arrangements with the gong and drums.
She briefly convinced herself and looked up at the painting.
When I saw this, I was suddenly stunned.
After completing the facial features, the person in the painting turned out to be herself?
Chen Yuan raised her eyes, saw the teasing in Gu Huailing's eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Did you do that on purpose?"
Gu Huailing bit her earlobe and whispered softly in her ear, "I didn't mean it."
Shen Yuan pushed him away but he couldn't move. "Who knows who you originally wanted to draw? I found out, so you drew me instead."
Gu Huailing buried his head in the crook of her neck, rubbing her soft white neck with his lips and teeth, took out a piece of paper from the painting box and stuffed it into her hand.
The paper was a bit old, and on it was Gu Huailing's handwriting: "May A Yuan be free from worries for years to come, and may Gu Huailing get what he wants."
Chen Yuan was stunned. Gu Huailing let go of her, put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around.
"This painting was done very early on, when my wife was still under 15 years old. I couldn't imagine what she looked like. Later, when she grew up, she no longer saw me, so I put the painting aside."
Chen Yuan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and a sour feeling surged up.
So, the person in this painting is her?
Was it Gu Huailing who drew it a few years ago when he was not sure if he had any connection with him?
How sad would he be if he saw me chasing after others every day?
What kind of mood was he in when he painted this picture?
Chen Yuan lowered her eyes. She couldn't empathize with Gu Huailing at that time, but she was willing to make it up to Gu Huailing in the future.
Gu Huailing lifted Shen Yuan's chin, looked into her tearful eyes, and said softly, "Madam, don't be sad. Gu Huailing has already gotten what he wanted."
Chen Yuan's eyes warmed up and she tiptoed to kiss Gu Huailing on the lips.
Gu Huailing took the initiative, put his arm around the woman's waist and kissed her deeply.
After a moment he raised his eyes, his dark phoenix eyes filled with lust.
He leaned over to Shen Yuan's ear and asked softly, "Is it okay, Madam?"
We fooled around for too long last night.
But Shen Yuan wanted to indulge him at this moment.
She put her arms around Gu Huailing's neck and gently bit his throat.
Gu Huailing's breath caught in his throat. "Madam, you have to indulge me today."
After a long time, so long that Chen Yuan had no strength left.
Gu Huailing finally let her go.
Both of them got extreme pleasure.
Chen Yuan's face flushed red, and she looked at Gu Huailing with a gleaming lip.
Gu Huailing was not a person who indulged in lust, but he acted foolishly again and again because of the person in front of him.
It was as if, upon seeing her, all self-control disappeared.
Gu Huailing tidied up Chen Yuan's clothes and hair and carried her out of the study.
The consequence of letting Gu Huailing go was that Shen Yuan couldn't walk properly for three days.
When Chen Yuan felt better, he went to Yuyang Street.
She and Gu Yao have finalized the blueprints, and the craftsmen have already started work. Chen Yuan estimates that it will be completed by the end of the month.
She looked at the drawings and thought of the former glory of Shen's Jade Shop, and her heart ached.
She will definitely be able to do well in the jade business.
At noon, Yuyang Street was very quiet. A man wearing a golden jewel mask and a red brocade robe walked in from outside the Yuhang store.
The brocade robe was of high-quality material, and was embroidered with intricate Lycoris radiata patterns in gold thread. The Lycoris radiata seemed to bloom a little more with every step the man took.
He stood outside the Jade House and looked at Chen Yuan, "It's been a while since we last met. Is Madam all right?"
That strange feeling of familiarity came back.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly to him, "Master Yan."
Yan Xi glanced at the sun and said, "I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting Madam to dine with me? Madam, I already have something in mind for what I want to do."
Chen Yuan walked out and said, "There's no need to eat. There's a teahouse up ahead. If Owner Yan doesn't mind, would you mind me treating him to tea?"
A hint of indulgence flashed across Yan Xi's charming peach blossom eyes. "Madam said tea, then let's drink tea."
The two went to the teahouse, and Chen Yuan stopped Yan Xi when he wanted to go to a private room.
"It's just a cup of tea. It won't take long. You can sit in the hall."
Yan Xi looked at her and said, "Walls have ears, madam, you'd better be cautious."
Chen Yuan could only follow Yan Xi upstairs.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet the Prime Minister's wife here." A voice suddenly sounded behind Shen Yuan.
She turned around and saw Nan Shuqing, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
Nan Shuqing glanced at Shen Yuan and Yan Xi, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Madam, you are so elegant that you actually drink tea with another man alone. I wonder if the Prime Minister knows about this?"
It was almost as if Chen Yuan was going to cheat on Gu Huailing.
"Miss Nanshu, please be careful with your words." Shen Yuan looked at her coldly.
Nan Shuqing's smile grew wider. "Madam, why are you so serious? I didn't say anything else. I just wanted to remind you that as the wife of the Prime Minister, your every move affects the reputation of the Lord. Don't do anything out of line and embarrass the Lord."
