Considering the elderly Madam Wen and the pregnant Wen Nongnong, Madam Xu and the others did not chat until very late.
After Wen Shiqing and the others arrived, they also got up to say goodbye.
"No need to see them off, go and rest quickly," Madam Xu said to Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong.
"Alright, then we won't see you off." Wen Nongnong didn't stand on ceremony.
"Nongnong, happy birthday. This is a gift for you." At this moment, Wen Tingyun moved closer to her, took out a box from his pocket, and handed it to her.
Wen Nongnong didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Wen Tingyun paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke earnestly like an elder: "After your birthday, you'll be a year older. Don't act like a child anymore."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
When did she become like a child?
And the fact that he's another year older is quite disheartening.
"Thank you so much," she said through gritted teeth.
"You're too kind." Wen Tingyun raised an eyebrow.
Wen Nongnong was so angry that her teeth itched, and taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she kicked him.
Wen Tingyun screamed, "You..." The words "brat" were swallowed back when she saw Gu Linchao standing beside Wen Nongnong.
He clenched his fists and grinned.
It hurts like hell!
Seeing him in so much pain, Wen Nongnong was quite surprised. "I didn't use any force. Why is Second Brother so delicate?"
Wen Tingyun: "..."
She didn't use much force, but the problem was that the place she stepped on was exactly where Chen Lingsu had stepped on. This was a second injury for him, so how could it not hurt?
The commotion drew everyone's attention.
Mrs. Xu patted her youngest son on the back and said unhappily, "What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling like that?"
"Mother, my feet are going to be crushed by Nong Nong." Wen Tingyun was speechless with emotion.
"How much strength can a girl like Nong Nong have? Don't talk nonsense!" Madam Xu scolded.
Wen Tingyun: "..."
Wen Nong Nong made a face at him, "Second Brother, stop pretending, you don't look like him at all."
Wen Tingyun had no way to express her bitterness, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Lingsu, who was following Qiao Shi.
With that obedient and quiet demeanor, even if he told the truth, probably no one would believe that she had stepped on his foot and almost broken his toe.
"By the way, what did you give Nong Nong?" Madam Xu couldn't help but ask.
Wen Tingyun said dejectedly, "It's nothing."
Mrs. Xu laughed and scolded, "Can't even I tell?"
"Then what did you give your father?" Wen Tingyun asked in return.
Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't tell you."
"Me too, I can't tell you," Wen Tingyun said matter-of-factly.
Xu: "..."
Wen Nongnong said with a smile, "Mother, Second Brother is getting old, hurry up and find him a wife."
“That’s exactly what I was planning to do,” Mrs. Xu nodded.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingyun's foot pain subsided, and she hurriedly said, "It's getting late, I'll head back now." With that, she dashed away.
Madam Xu sighed, "The mention of marriage is like hearing about a monstrous flood."
"Mother, don't worry. Once Second Brother meets a girl he likes, he won't be like this anymore," Wen Nongnong comforted him.
"I hope so." Madam Xu nodded. "Alright, you can stay here. We'll head back now."
"Then everyone be careful on the road," Wen Nongnong said gently.
"It's just a few steps, don't worry," Wen Tingyun said with a smile.
"Wang Houde, see everyone off for me," Gu Linchao said gently, supporting Wen Nongnong with one hand.
"Yes," Wang Houde replied, leading the group out.
After watching everyone leave, Gu Linchao looked down at Wen Nongnong and asked, "Would you like to sit here a little longer?"
Looking at the man under the lamplight, still as noble, elegant, and handsome as ever, Wen Nong Nong blinked and took his arm. "Okay."
Gu Linchao smiled, took her hand, and sat down on the porch.
Wen Nongnong leaned against his arm, gazing at the tranquil and vast sky in the distance, her heart filled with contentment.
It had been a long time since she had sat like this with Gu Linchao, looking at the night sky and the stars.
"Your Highness, the night sky looks especially beautiful tonight." She pointed to the night sky, a relaxed and cheerful smile spreading across her face.
"Yes, she is very beautiful." Gu Linchao put his arm around her shoulder, gently stroking her hair with his chin, his deep phoenix eyes filled with tender affection.
The night sky is beautiful because you're here to watch it with me.
"People say that a simple life is a blessing. I really hope that I can live a simple and peaceful life with the prince forever," Wen Nongnong said softly, looking at the starry sky above her with a pleading gaze.
"Yes, I will," Gu Linchao said in a low, gentle voice.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong turned to look at him.
Looking into his eyes, which had regained their luster, and at his still handsome face, a happy smile spread across his face.
She looked at him with tender, lingering eyes.
"Your Highness, I am very, very happy tonight."
Gu Linchao felt a pang in his heart as he looked into her beautiful, shimmering eyes, and suddenly raised his hand to cover her eyes.
"Nongnong, don't look at me like that..."
"Why?"
Gu Linchao remained silent, naturally because your eyes are so beautiful that they can make people lose themselves in them.
As he was thinking this, the girl in his arms suddenly knelt on his lap, cupped his face, and kissed him.
"Your Highness, I want to kiss you," she whispered, her delicate pink lips already covering his.
Gu Linchao clenched his fingers, then raised his hand to support her waist.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally parted ways.
Gu Linchao's slender fingers brushed across her moist, glistening lips as he helped her off him, saying in a hoarse voice, "It's getting late, let's go back inside."
