"Hey, Gu Yibei..." Ji Zhinan was afraid of falling, so he was forced to hug his neck and struggled with his legs: "Let me go..."
There are so many people in the Jiujin Platinum Palace, it would be too embarrassing to be seen.
The man did not let go, but hugged her even tighter.
The little woman in his arms was still struggling. He narrowed his eyes and threatened: "If you move again, I will kiss you."
“…” Ji Zhinan immediately fell silent.
The man smiled and carried her into the main building.
Mrs. Gu was arranging flowers in the living room, holding a pair of scissors in her right hand and fiddling with a vase with her left hand.
She cut off the extra branches and leaves, leaving only the beautiful ones. The flowers seemed to come alive in her hands, showing their most beautiful side.
"Master."
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Mrs. Gu looked up and saw her son coming in holding the girl, showing his affection without any hesitation.
But looking at that girl's reluctant expression...
Mrs. Gu suddenly felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She put down the scissors, smiled beautifully, and said gently, "Dear."
The word "dear" made Ji Zhinan in Gu Yibei's arms stiffen.
Wiping her hands with a wet tissue, Mrs. Gu walked over gracefully: "Why are you back so late? Didn't you agree to have dinner with me today?"
She smiled and talked to Gu Yibei, completely ignoring Ji Zhinan in Gu Yibei's arms.
"..." Even Ji Zhinan, who had been too calm, couldn't bear it anymore. She struggled again, but Gu Yibei still held her tightly and refused to let go.
Gu Yibei frowned, and facing his mother's playful smile, he said coldly: "You scared her, mother."
Seeing her son so unlovable, Mrs. Gu shrugged: "You are still so unlovable."
Ji Zhinan was stunned when he heard Gu Yibei addressing Madam Gu.
Mother?
She is Gu Yibei's...mother?
Ji Zhinan looked at Mrs. Gu carefully and had to admit that a woman living in a honeypot is happy. Mrs. Gu has enjoyed happiness for many years and looks like she is soaked in preservatives and does not look old at all.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Zhinan did not think of her as “Gu Yibei’s mother” when he saw her in the morning.
She thought... this was Gu Yibei's marriage partner.
After all, aristocratic families would arrange marriages to consolidate their status.
Putting Ji Zhinan down, Gu Yibei took her hand and interlocked their fingers.
"Mother, this is my girlfriend, Ji Zhinan."
Fortunately, Ji Zhinan was not stupid and quickly came to her senses. She nodded and lowered her eyebrows: "Hello, aunt."
"Aunt?" Madam Gu frowned, very dissatisfied with her address: "Do I look old?"
“…”
Before Ji Zhinan could say anything, Gu Yibei came to his defense: "She followed my lead. If you don't mind, I can join her in calling you sister."
"You!" Madam Gu glared at him, "You little bastard!"
How do you talk?
However, after a brief confrontation, Mrs. Gu also realized the position of this woman in her son's heart.
She looked at Ji Zhinan and asked, "Your name is Ji Zhinan?"
Ji Zhinan nodded: "Yes."
This time she behaved well and did not call her by any name, causing Mrs. Gu's dissatisfaction.
"..." Madam Gu looked at her for a long moment before she spoke: "Have you changed your name?"
“???”
Neither Gu Yibei nor Ji Zhinan understood what Mrs. Gu meant.
Mrs. Gu shrugged. "There's a Chinese poem that goes, 'The warmth of tea in the south, the coldness of songs in the north.' I wonder if you didn't deliberately change your name to please my son, to prove your connection to him."
