Gu Qianlu lifted the purple clay teapot in front of her and shook it in mid-air before slowly pouring the tea into Chen Jinheng's teacup.
Chen Jinheng took the teacup, speechless for a moment. He lowered his head and quietly watched the tea floating for a while before his eyes darkened and he said...
"They naturally have their maternal families to take care of them."
The old ladies of the second and third wives are quite cunning; you must treat them carefully in the future, lest they give you cause for gossip.
"Thank you for your advice, my husband. I will be more careful in the future."
"Um."
As the sun set, the night outside the window gradually darkened.
Inside the screen, Lin Ruoyan's painful cries faded into the background.
Seeing this, Chen Jinheng put down his book, suddenly stood up, and said sternly to Gu Qianluo,
"Madam, it's getting late, let's go back!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo slowly walked to the screen, her gaze shifting to Yinshuang beside Lin Ruoyan, and asked with concern,
"How is Miss Lin?"
"Reporting to Mistress, Miss Lin has fallen asleep after taking her medicine."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Then you must take good care of Miss Lin. As you know, our second young master dotes on Miss Lin the most."
"If anyone dares to slight me, the Second Young Master will not let them get away with it."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Upon hearing Gu Qianluo's words, a flash of anger crossed Chen Jinheng's eyes.
This woman, who seems honest and simple, actually lied for him?
When did Lin Ruoyan become his most beloved girl?
As soon as Gu Qianlu finished speaking, a large hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, and she was quickly pulled into the man's arms.
This was the first time the two had been so intimate.
To outsiders, this is something only people who are truly in love would do.
Gu Qianlu felt depressed, not understanding Chen Jinheng's purpose in doing so, and blindly cooperated with him in putting on a fake show of affection.
Chen Jinheng summoned his maid, Yinshuang, and explained to her everything the doctor had said before the two left hand in hand.
"Jinheng, aren't you really going to go see her?"
"I am very pleased that my wife is so magnanimous."
Chen Jinheng responded in a deep voice, tightening his grip on her shoulder.
"Why are you still laughing? If this gets out tomorrow, I'll definitely be seen as a jealous woman who doesn't know how to be magnanimous."
Chen Jinheng paused, then placed both hands on Gu Qianluo's arms and said,
"How can you call Madam a jealous woman? If anyone dares to speak out of turn, Madam can remember it."
"Alright! Stop trying to fool me!"
Strolling under a sky full of stars and wandering through a romantic garden, Chen Jinheng held Gu Qianluo's hand, giving off the feeling of a newlywed couple on their honeymoon.
"You are my wife. If I don't stand up for you, who will I stand up for?"
As Chen Jinheng uttered his domineering words, Gu Qianlu suddenly recalled Lin Ruoyan's words.
“Jinheng used to always coax me to sleep and take my medicine.”
He treated me with utmost care and love! I have never met a man as good as him!
"Gu Qianluo! You can't beat me, given my ten-year friendship with Jinheng!"
As her thoughts settled, she crouched down slightly, plucked a few handfuls of foxtail grass, wove them into a small rabbit, and played with it in her hands. She paused, then asked seriously,
"Then, if one day Lin Ruoyan bullies me, will you side with her or with me, husband?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's smiling eyes suddenly darkened, and his hands, which were hanging at his waist, unconsciously clenched into fists. He said coldly,
"Ruoyan is simple-minded. If she angers you, don't take it to heart."
"Okay, I understand!" Gu Qianluo said calmly.
Does this mean Gu Qianluo shouldn't bother with her?
Chen Jinheng's hesitant attitude disappointed her, and Gu Qianluo already understood.
Men are indeed mostly unreliable.
She concealed the disappointment in her eyes, casually gathered a strand of hair, her brows furrowing, and deliberately changed the subject, saying...
"My husband, will you accompany me back to my parents' home for the homecoming banquet tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng answered without hesitation.
"Since I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will naturally go back to my parents' home with my wife."
Not only should they go back together, but they should also bring some decent gifts for the bride's family return.
Upon receiving his promise, Gu Qianlu couldn't help but smile.
Although the man's heart was not with her, Gu Qianluo's strength lay in her composure.
In their previous life, the two sisters returned to their parents' home on their own. The Second Prince was unable to attend due to illness, while Chen Jinheng was branded a shrew because Gu Qianxue had made a scene with him on their wedding night due to her lack of manners.
Lin Ruoyan appears innocent on the surface, but she is actually quite cunning. A woman of her caliber is probably only someone like Gu Qianluo who can handle her.
Suddenly, a piercing cry came from not far away, and a powerful force slammed into us from behind.
Gu Qianlu felt a sharp pain in her waist, and her two tightly clasped hands were forced apart.
After being hit, Gu Qianluo's body leaned forward uncontrollably, and she was about to fall over when Chen Jinheng caught her in his arms.
"Which bastard dared to ambush me from behind?"
After the man bumped into them, he fell to the ground and slowly stood up, leaning against the two men.
Chen Jinheng's eyes flashed with fire as he grabbed the uninvited guest from behind and lifted him high above his head.
"Waaah! Daddy! Put me down! Put me down!"
What kind of time is this?! You're still holding another woman's hand, enjoying yourself here?
Gu Qianluo narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the mischievous little child in front of her.
"Angel? What brings you here?"
Didn't I say you weren't allowed to leave Lingyan Pavilion without my permission?
"Dad! Put me down first! I'm afraid of heights!"
"How can a grown man act like a girl, afraid of this and that? How will you go to war with your father in the future!"
