Chapter 277 Waiting for Him
He calls me "Lady Shushu" when I haven't even agreed to marry him yet, and he's already calling me that so boldly.
Gu Shuyan completely forgot that it was she who had pestered him to marry her.
"Miss, what did Lord Yun say? Why are you so blushing?"
Seeing her mistress's shy expression, Pearl immediately teased her.
"You little rascal, you even dare to tease me now."
Gu Shuyan glanced at her and continued reading the following content.
As the main text was introduced, Gu Shuyan's expression grew increasingly somber, until it became so dark it seemed almost dripping with gloom.
"Xu Yunzhi?"
Gu Shuyan's impression of Xu Yunzhi was that he was a smiling tiger. He seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but once you got to know him for a long time, he might bite you at any time and leave you bloodied and bruised.
In theory, he didn't dislike this kind of person, but if the other party was targeting her, Gu Shuyan felt it was too fake.
Just like Gu Yingjie, who threw the letter into the stove, Gu Shuyan turned around and went to the table.
With a flourish of his pen, he quickly filled a letter with words.
"Deliver the letter to the Yun residence."
Gu Shuyan handed the letter to Xu Feng, who took it and gave Gu Shuyan a mournful look.
This young lady only notices her presence when she needs her; otherwise, she's like a ghost, just standing there on the sidelines.
Moreover, it wasn't just Gu Shuyan; even Zhenzhu acted the same way. Except when there was something going on, she would always address him as "Brother Xu" or "Brother Xu."
When there's nothing going on, he's like a ghost. Apart from Mingyu sometimes smiling at him, no one talks to him much.
"What are you waiting for? It'll be time to eat mutton soon."
You know we'll be eating mutton soon, don't you?
Xu Feng thought to himself, but dared not actually say it aloud.
Even though he was invisible on a snowy day, he really wanted to eat a bowl of mutton soup!
In previous years, when they were at the Duke's mansion, the heir would also stew a pot of mutton and let everyone in the courtyard gather around to eat and have a lively meal.
But this year the crown prince passed away, and he hasn't been able to have a single bowl of mutton soup in almost a year.
"I'll go right away."
Xu Feng reluctantly left the hospital.
After he finished his trip and returned, he assumed that the three of them, master and servant, had long forgotten about him.
But when he entered the house, he found that the mutton that the kitchen had brought out was still simmering on the stove.
"Brother Xu is finally back! Why did it take so long just to deliver a message?"
Pearl felt that even if she had made this trip, she should have returned long ago.
The Yun residence wasn't far to begin with; it would only take a short while to travel back and forth. Even if Yun Yichen replied, it wouldn't take long.
Xu Feng's trip took half an hour; anyone who didn't know better would think he'd gone a long way!
"Alright, Pearl, let Brother Xu come inside and warm up."
Gu Shuyan wore a gentle smile, and the softness she exuded made people want to get close to her.
Xu Feng had never seen Gu Shuyan like this before. In his memory, Gu Shuyan was always smiling, polite and kind in her words and deeds, but also subtly aloof.
Today, however, he has completely suppressed his aloofness, leaving only his gentle side.
"Miss, shall we begin to eat?"
Mingyu brought over the prepared rice and dipping sauce and sat down around the small stove.
