Chapter 81 – Dual Personality!
Originally, Mengyao Gu didn’t feel much about the night, because it was just time to sleep.
However, after hearing what Yu Gu said this time, she felt very concerned.
She always felt that time was passing a bit too slowly!
Why had so much time passed, and it was only dusk? The sunset hanging in the sky emitted an orange-red glow, rendering the entire land with the same color.
When it shone on people, it also draped a layer of warm light, making their spirits relax.
Because she had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of night, Mengyao Gu had been energetic all afternoon, and as a result, she hadn’t taken her usual nap.
This made her feel unaccustomed, and she started to feel drowsy.
“Young Lady, do you want to go back and rest?”
As Mengyao Gu was about to fall asleep while lying on the chaise lounge, the maid serving her hesitated for a moment before finally daring to step forward and ask softly.
They were still by the sea at this time. If the Young Lady fell asleep, she might catch a cold from the damp and cold sea breeze.
If the Young Lady got sick, even if she didn’t mind, they would definitely be killed by the son-in-law!
Therefore, they had to pay close attention.
It was also to save their own heads. In the Gu Residence, all the servants knew that the person more powerful than the Master in the residence was the son-in-law who had married into the family.
Cruel and ruthless, cold-blooded and merciless.
Yet, in front of Miss Gu, he was as obedient as ever, as if they were two different people.
Dual personality!!!
“No, I’m just a little tired. I’ll stay here a while longer!”
After hearing the maid’s words, Mengyao Gu forced her eyes open, looked at the stubbornly hanging sunset, and then closed her eyes again.
It wouldn’t be long until it got dark. She had to persevere!
If she went back to her room to sleep, she might sleep until dawn. In that case, she wouldn’t be able to see the surprise Yu Gu had prepared for her!
So, she had to persevere…
But, she was still so sleepy!
“Young Lady, if you don’t want to go back to sleep, I’ll go get you a thin quilt to cover yourself with. Otherwise, if you catch a cold, it will be trouble.”
“Mmm.”
When the maid saw that Mengyao Gu didn’t want to go back, she was so worried that she almost wanted to shout. But then, when she heard that her Young Lady was still adaptable, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she quickly ran to get a quilt and covered Mengyao Gu completely.
A screen was also moved at this time, completely covering the space around Mengyao Gu to block the sea breeze.
With these arrangements, Mengyao Gu, hugging the quilt, fell fast asleep.
The sunset in the sky finally set at this moment. The orange-red color was rapidly fading, replaced by the blackness that quickly covered the land. Only the crescent moon in the night sky cast dots of silver light, dispelling some of the darkness.
In addition, red flames burned in an iron basin. As the flames flickered, they illuminated the area around the screen.
The white fine gauze hanging on the screen fluttered with the sea breeze, as if entering someone’s dream, making the dreams sweet and making them unwilling to wake up.
“It’s dark!”
However, after sleeping for three hours, Mengyao Gu woke up with a sleep-talking voice.
Afterward, Mengyao Gu looked up at the moon in the night sky, a smile filling her lips. She then threw off the quilt she was covered with, ready to receive the surprise that Yu Gu had been keeping secret!
She quickly put on her shoes and looked down at her dress, suddenly feeling that it was a bit of a hindrance.
However, there wasn’t enough time to change.
Fortunately, it was very beautiful…
Raising her hands to grasp the sides of her dress, Mengyao Gu quickly walked out from behind the screen. The flickering flames illuminated her face and the anticipation in her eyes, which was like the sparse stars in the night sky.
She had waited for so long. Please don’t let her down!
“Mengyao, you didn’t wait here all afternoon, did you!”
Just as Mengyao Gu was full of anticipation, Yu Gu’s voice sounded from the side. Hearing this, Mengyao Gu immediately smiled and pounced towards him.
Eager footsteps, impatient actions, joyful mood.
Like a child acting spoiled, Yu Gu fumbled to catch Mengyao Gu. Then, looking at the expectant expression on her face, he immediately understood what Mengyao Gu was thinking.
This made Yu Gu shake his head, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness. He didn’t say anything more and directly picked up his little wife in a princess carry.
“You don’t need to follow. Go back.”
Then, without even turning his head, Yu Gu uttered a sentence and carried Mengyao Gu towards the distant beach.
In the afternoon, Yu Gu didn’t accompany Mengyao Gu because he was busy filling his space with seafood.
Seeing that Mengyao Gu liked seafood barbecue so much, Yu Gu directly offered a large sum of money, and hundreds of fishermen went out to sea together to catch fish. The scene was truly spectacular.
It even drew people from several nearby villages, all of them jumping into the sea like dumplings, catching prey one after another.
Of course, only a small portion of them were real fishermen; the rest were trying to get lucky.
Just because his wife liked fish and shrimp from the sea, such a big commotion was caused. This made the women in the nearby villages unable to keep their mouths shut, exaggerating and embellishing the event several times over as it spread further and wider.
There were never a shortage of good men, but unfortunately, all the good men belonged to others.
Afterward, when Yu Gu, the good man who was talked about so much, loaded all the seafood into his space, he returned when the moon was already high in the sky.
However, after Mengyao Gu pounced into his embrace, all of Yu Gu’s fatigue from working hard all afternoon vanished.
He was in such a good mood.
“Why did you wait for so long? Go back and sleep, and it will be evening.”
“I can’t sleep~ As soon as I close my eyes, I think about what surprise you have for me. The more I think about it, the more I can’t sleep.”
Held in Yu Gu’s arms, Mengyao Gu found a very comfortable position, wrapped her arms around Yu Gu’s neck, and spoke, directly explaining why she couldn’t sleep at all.
As for the nap in the evening, it had long been forgotten by Mengyao Gu.
“I didn’t know… you were so curious. Otherwise, I would have told you earlier.”
Hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, Yu Gu’s lips curved upwards, and he continued to walk forward.
In the quiet night, there were only the two of them by the sea. This feeling was truly wonderful.
Lately, there were always many people around them. The only place where Yu Gu and Mengyao Gu could be alone was probably their room at night…
It seemed like they should go out traveling more often in the future!
“It’s not necessary. After all, it’s a surprise you’ve prepared for me. Let me see it with my own eyes!”
After hearing Yu Gu’s words, Mengyao Gu directly shook her head, her words matching her thoughts.
The feeling of anticipation due to the surprise was very exciting!
Especially since the person who gave her the surprise was Yu Gu.
“Then, we’ve arrived~”
As soon as Yu Gu finished speaking, Mengyao Gu was also put down by him. When Mengyao Gu’s feet touched the soft sand, she immediately looked in the direction Yu Gu pointed with anticipation.
Behold, a sea of stars unfolded before her eyes. Dots of ethereal blue light flickered with the waves, like a breathtakingly beautiful scene from a dream.
