Chapter 375 Han'er, you are the light of my life. I am complete only with you.
Gu Junze's gaze fell on her abdomen again, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Did you eat well? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Ruohan laughed. "Do I look like I haven't had a good meal?" She paused, then continued, "Qin Fang came just now and has already made arrangements for the caravan. He said there's a small country near Liang that produces purple cloud grass, which is said to be very beneficial for pregnancies."
A hint of joy flashed in Gu Junze's eyes, and he held her hand tightly: "This is good news. When the caravan returns, I will personally boil the medicine for you."
"You?" Chu Ruohan couldn't help but smile, "When did the general learn how to decoct medicine?"
"For my wife and children, I'm willing to learn anything." Gu Junze took her hand and kissed it gently on his lips. "Han'er, it's great to have you by my side."
Chu Ruohan was immersed in this tenderness and almost forgot the passage of time.
Until the sound of footsteps outside the yard broke the peace between the two.
"Young Madam, General, dinner is ready." It was Haitang's voice.
Gu Junze sighed softly, reluctantly letting go of her hand, and stood up, saying, "Let's go, it's time to eat. You can't go hungry while you're pregnant."
Chu Ruohan nodded and let him help her up.
When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"By the way, Du Ruoling has been coming to the house frequently these days."
Gu Junze frowned slightly: "Are you making trouble again?"
"Not really."
Allen Chu shook her head, her tone filled with doubt, "She seems to have changed into a different person, no longer making trouble."
"Every time, he would present some gifts with great courtesy, then stand by Cheng'an for a while, and then quietly leave after being rejected."
Gu Junze's expression changed slightly: "That's strange. It's not like her style."
"I think so too." Chu Ruohan whispered, "I always feel that she is very abnormal?"
Gu Junze patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Don't think too much, no one can hurt you as long as I am here."
He thought for a moment and then added, "But I'll have someone keep a closer eye on her to see what she's planning."
Chu Ruohan nodded and said no more.
The two walked hand in hand towards the dining hall, with the afterglow of the setting sun behind them, stretching their shadows very long and tightly together.
After dinner, the two walked side by side on the porch. As the night deepened, the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, filling the air with fragrance.
"The moon is beautiful tonight." Gu Junze looked up at the sky. The bright moonlight shone on his angular face, outlining a soft contour.
Chu Ruohan followed his gaze and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky with a few twinkling stars, cold and beautiful.
"I remember the moonlight was like this when we first met." Chu Ruohan couldn't help but recall the past, with a hint of nostalgia in her tone.
Gu Junze turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness: "At that time, you were wearing a bright red wedding dress, standing in the yard, the moonlight shining on you, and I knew that you were the only one I could have in my life."
Allen Chu couldn't help laughing: "You had a stern face at that time and didn't want to marry me at all."
Gu Junze coughed twice in embarrassment, "I'm so glad you chose me."
He put his arm around Chu Ruohan's waist, his voice low and gentle, "Where else can I find such a good wife?"
"You're so smooth-talking." Chu Ruohan said angrily, but she also leaned into his arms, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of flowers. Chu Ruohan suddenly felt a little tired and couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing this, Gu Junze immediately said, "Are you sleepy? I'll take you back to your room to rest."
Chu Ruohan nodded and let him support her back to the inner room.
In the bedroom, Gu Junze personally poured her a glass of warm water and watched her sip it.
After she finished drinking, he considerately brought her a soft pillow so that she could lean on it more comfortably.
"Is this okay?" he asked, his eyes full of concern.
Chu Ruohan nodded with a smile: "Okay."
Gu Junze sat beside the bed, holding her hand, his eyes full of affection and attachment.
"Come to think of it, was the marriage swap that day something you had planned in advance?"
Chu Ruohan was slightly stunned. She never expected him to ask that?
Gu Junze chuckled softly and said, "That night, the funeral hall caught fire. I sent Yingqing over to help. The fire was raging, but it only ignited some white banners."
"The fire around the coffin is very small. It's obvious that you set it on purpose to attract people here so you can put on your next act..."
Chu Ruohan chuckled, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
"Little fox..." Gu Junze sighed softly and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, "Han'er, you make me complete."
This sentence was simple yet heavy, like a thousand-pound burden, and like a deep affection, which made Chu Ruohan's heart tremble and her eyes slightly hot.
"Jun Ze..." She called his name softly, her voice barely audible.
Gu Junze leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips, resting his forehead against hers, their breaths intertwined.
If it weren't for Chu Ruohan, he might still be rotting in a wheelchair, or he might have died long ago.
How can I live like this with a wife and children?
The next day, the sun was shining
Gu Cheng'an was sitting in front of the window reading a military book. He found that there were many books in Gu Junze's house that could make up for his previous shortcomings.
Gu Cheng'an frowned slightly, seeming to be quite confused about the contents of the book.
There were light footsteps in the yard. He subconsciously raised his head and looked out the window, only to see Du Ruoling walking slowly towards him carrying an exquisite food box.
Gu Cheng'an's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to turn his head away and ignore it immediately, but he stopped.
In the past half month, Du Ruoling came every day, but she was no longer as persistent as before. Instead, she seemed much more restrained.
This abnormal behavior made him alert, but he had to admit that if Du Ruoling really changed her temper, it would save him a lot of trouble.
"Second Young Master, Princess Anping is here again." The guard outside the door reported in a low voice.
Gu Chengan pursed his lips and wanted to refuse again, but then he thought, "Let her in."
As soon as he said this, he was a little stunned.
This was the first time in the past half month that he was willing to meet Du Ruoling.
Du Ruoling was slightly startled when she heard this, then a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared. She maintained a calm expression and walked inside.
"Cheng'an." Du Ruoling stood at the door and said softly, "You are finally willing to see me."
Gu Cheng'an did not respond, but just glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his head and continued to look through the military book in his hand.
Du Ruoling didn't care. She walked slowly to the table, put down the lunch box, and opened it gently.
"This is your favorite Poria cocos cake. I remember when we lived in a small courtyard in the west of the city, the old lady next door made delicious cakes. Every time I bought some, you would eat half a box."
Du Ruoling's tone was filled with reminiscence, "I passed by that street today and happened to see the old lady still selling cakes, so I bought some."
