Chapter 358 A family of four gathered together
He really didn't know what he saw in her.
Was it her unbridled drinking? Or her straightforwardness? Or perhaps, the way she kicked someone in her sleep?
Doctor Qian twitched the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, the pain in his cheek reminding him of his embarrassment last night and this morning.
On the soft couch next to her, Yuling turned over and began to snore softly. She was obviously very drunk and had no idea what was happening here.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and outside the window I could faintly hear the sounds of servants sweeping the floor early in the morning.
Doctor Qian stood up straight, took a last look at Song Ruyan who was still sleeping soundly, and gently tucked the corner of the quilt in, with a carefulness that he didn't even realize.
He couldn't stay any longer.
When she wakes up and sees herself in this state and her "feat" last night, the situation will probably be even more embarrassing.
He straightened his wrinkled and stained robe, walked quietly to the door, gently opened it, and slipped out.
All that was left was silence in the room and two sleeping drunkards.
On the other side, Yun'er and Xuan'er were squeezed into a small bed and sleeping soundly.
Yun Ge'er's little mouth was slightly pouted, as if he was still having a sweet dream.
Xuan Ge'er's little foot was restlessly resting on his brother's body.
Chu Ruohan slowly opened her eyes.
Gu Junze beside her had already woken up and was looking at her quietly, his dark eyes filled with soft light.
The hustle and bustle of yesterday still seems to be ringing in my ears, the joy and reluctance when my sister got married, the surprise of Yun Ge'er's sudden return, and the gorgeous fireworks.
Everything has settled down, leaving only the peace of the moment.
Chu Ruohan curled the corners of her lips, feeling the slight fetal movement in her belly.
Gu Junze stretched out his hand and gently placed his warm palm on her bulging belly.
The movements were gentle and full of cherishment.
He didn't say anything, but just used his eyes to convey his affectionate love.
Chu Ruohan turned sideways and moved closer to him, her nose filled with the refreshing and pleasant scent of him.
She remembered what the servants reported to her when she came back last night.
The scene of Song Ruyan and the others making a fuss in the bridal chamber, and the embarrassment of Doctor Qian when he later sent Song Ruyan back to her room.
I don’t know how they are doing now.
The thought only flashed through his mind and was quickly replaced by the warmth before him.
There were some clear bird calls coming from outside the window.
Gu Junze lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her smooth forehead.
"Sleep a little longer?"
Chu Ruohan shook her head and tried to sit up with her arms, "Yue Shu is coming home today, let's go back early."
Gu Junze immediately reached out to hold her waist, carefully helped her adjust her posture, and took a soft pillow beside her to place behind her.
"Slow down." He urged softly.
Chu Ruohan leaned on the pillow and watched him get up and dress. His movements were neat and elegant, and his broad shoulders and narrow waist looked particularly tall and straight in the morning light.
There was a rustling sound from outside, followed by Yun Ge'er's nasal mumbling.
"Hmm...is it morning yet?"
Then, Xuan Ge'er called out in a daze: "Brother...Brother..."
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze smiled at each other.
"I'll go take a look." Gu Junze stood up and walked towards the outer room.
Chu Ruohan also slowly stood up, put on her coat, and followed.
I saw that Yun Ge'er had already sat up, rubbing his eyes, his hair was a little messy from sleeping, and when he saw Gu Junze, he immediately grinned.
"father!"
Xuan'er was still lying there, holding onto the corner of Yun'er's clothes with his little hands. He opened his eyes, saw his parents, and babbled as he stretched out his little hands for a hug.
Gu Junze first picked up Xuan Ge'er and shook him, and the little guy immediately started giggling.
Yun Ge'er climbed down from the bed nimbly, ran to Chu Ruohan, and raised his little face.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Chu Ruohan smiled and patted his head: "Okay, Mom will ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast."
She took Yun'er's hand, then took Xuan'er from Gu Junze's arms and said softly, "Go wash up and change your clothes first. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Yeah!" Yun'er nodded vigorously and pulled Xuan'er, who was still yawning, towards the bathroom, looking like a little adult.
The smile on Chu Ruohan's face deepened.
After breakfast, the family got ready and set off for the Chu Mansion.
The general's carriage was spacious and comfortable, enough to accommodate a family of four with room to spare.
Yun Ge'er was at the age when he was lively and active. He sat by the window, curiously looking at the streets outside which were gradually becoming lively.
Xuan Ge'er nestled obediently in Gu Junze's arms, his little head nodding, as if he was still a little sleepy.
Chu Ruohan leaned against the cushion, feeling the slight shaking of the carriage, and the little one in her belly also moved.
The carriage arrived at a familiar street corner, and a sweet scent wafted through the air.
It tastes like chestnut cake.
Chu Ruohan unconsciously looked in the direction where the fragrance came from, with a slight smile on her lips.
Gu Junze caught the subtle change in her expression.
"parking."
He gave a light order.
The driver immediately stopped the carriage.
Gu Junze carefully handed Xuan Ge'er to Chu Ruohan, and then got up and got off the carriage.
A moment later, he came back with a small bag of chestnut cakes wrapped in oil paper, steaming hot and with an even stronger aroma.
He handed the chestnut cake to Chu Ruohan with a smile in his eyes.
"It's still hot."
Chu Ruohan took it and felt warm in her heart. She picked up a small piece of chestnut cake and put it in her mouth. It was soft, sticky and sweet, just the taste she liked.
"Thank you, husband." She smiled with her eyes curved.
Gu Junze moved his arm slightly. If it weren't in front of the child, he would have hugged her in his arms. Chu Ruohan rarely called him like that.
Yun Ge'er also came over and looked at it eagerly.
"Mom, I want to eat too."
Chu Ruohan smiled and gave him a piece, then fed a little bit to Xuan Ge'er in her arms.
The little guy smacked his lips, obviously liking the sweet taste.
The carriage started slowly again, and people came and went, with hawking sounds and laughter ringing in the ears.
Yun Ge'er's attention was attracted by a shop with gorgeous decoration.
The three large gold-plated characters "Treasure Pavilion" were hung on the lintel of the shop, and all kinds of exquisite jewellery were displayed in the glazed windows, sparkling with brilliance.
His little hand pointed to one of the delicate tassel hairpins inlaid with pink gems.
"Mom, look at that hairpin!"
Yun Ge'er's voice was filled with surprise.
“It looks so good!”
Chu Ruohan looked in the direction he pointed, and the hairpin was indeed elegant.
Yun Ge'er turned his head and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
"Mom, I want to buy that hairpin for you!"
Chu Ruohan's gaze fell on the plaque that read "Treasure Pavilion," and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
She reached out and touched Yun Ge'er's head.
"This Treasure Pavilion is our own shop."
Yun Ge'er's mouth opened in surprise, "How come I didn't know we had a shop?"
Chu Ruohan nodded with a smile.
She raised her hand and pointed to another store not far away.
"Not only that, do you see that Jinxiu Pavilion over there?"
"That's also my mother's dowry."
