Chapter 85: No Misunderstanding at All
Persist to the end, and you will always taste the fruits of victory.
At Gu Qingheng’s insistence, they finally arrived at their destination by luxury carriage. After Gu Qingheng dismissed the shivering coachman, the two walked further down the road.
They looked at the osmanthus trees planted on both sides of the road, their noses filled with the sweet and alluring fragrance of osmanthus.
As the gentle breeze blew, some osmanthus petals fell, scattering on Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian.
In an instant, they felt a sense of unreality, as if they had fallen into a dream.
Beautiful scenery always makes people intoxicated. This made Gu Qingheng very fortunate that he insisted on enjoying the flowers. Otherwise, he felt it would be a great loss to see this beautiful scenery tomorrow!
Looking sideways at Tang Lian, who was full of joy beside him, Gu Qingheng’s smile became even brighter.
Being with the person you like makes even looking at cacti in the desert a happy event.
It’s a pity that if the carriage they were in hadn’t broken down, they could have had a picnic right now.
In such a beautiful place, even sitting down to drink water feels wonderful… But now, they could only watch enviously as others sat under the trees, eating and drinking.
Gu Qingheng looked at the people scattered around. Although he wanted to spend some money to buy some, he felt disgusted by things that others had eaten.
While hesitating, he suddenly looked directly in a certain direction, a hint of surprise on his face.
It was truly a case of “when you wish for something, it appears like a gift”!
He didn’t know if today was lucky or unlucky, but his wish for a picnic had just come true.
When Tang Lian saw the change in Gu Qingheng’s expression, she then saw the bold gazes cast by some unmarried girls, who wished they could step forward and get acquainted with Gu Qingheng.
This made Tang Lian’s eyes narrow slightly. She thought, “These women are really courting death, to have thoughts about my Brother Qingheng.”
If they dared to come and flirt, she would definitely make these guys suffer.
Gu Qingheng belonged only to her, Tang Lian. No one else was allowed to covet him!
However, for now, she didn’t need to worry about these bold women, but rather about why Brother Qingheng had that surprised look on his face.
If he were really tempted by another woman, she wouldn’t mind orchestrating an accident or two to cause a fatal incident. The name “White Rakshasa” was not just for show.
Just then…
As Tang Lian followed Gu Qingheng’s gaze, she couldn’t help but freeze. When she came to her senses, she had the same surprised expression as Gu Qingheng.
She had thought she saw a love rival just now, but it turned out to be Mengyao Eldest Sister!
Although Tang Lian liked Gu Qingheng very much, she respected Mengyao Gu even more.
It had even reached the point of unreasoning admiration.
If Mengyao Gu told her to kill someone, she would not hesitate for a moment and would kill the target cleanly and efficiently.
She admired Mengyao Gu so much because Mengyao Gu had saved her life!
If she hadn’t met Mengyao Gu back then, Tang Lian knew she would have definitely died in that small town… Of course, if she had met Gu Yu, Tang Lian thought she still would have died.
Tang Lian’s impression of the Gu family members was liking Gu Qingheng, admiring Mengyao Gu, and fearing Gu Yu…
She thought this because she had lived in the Gu family for a while and knew Gu Yu’s true nature.
Even if she were to marry Gu Qingheng in the future, Tang Lian felt that her fear of Gu Yu would not decrease.
“It’s my sister and brother-in-law. It’s so lucky. Let’s go over there!”
“Will it disturb Mengyao Eldest Sister?”
After hearing Gu Qingheng say they should go over, Tang Lian hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Although she also wanted to talk to Mengyao Eldest Sister, Gu Yu, who was sitting beside her, was not an easy person to get along with. If she angered him, her future days would be difficult!
“It’s fine. They didn’t take me with them on this outing, so they’ll definitely feel a little guilty seeing me now. I know you’re a bit afraid of my brother-in-law, so I won’t force you to interact too much with him. I’m here for you.”
Gu Qingheng, being a shrewd person, naturally perceived Tang Lian’s fear.
As he spoke, he directly reached out and held Tang Lian’s hand.
He wasn’t thinking about resolving any misunderstandings because there were no misunderstandings. His brother-in-law was just like that… Except for him, his bold younger brother-in-law, and his sister, everyone else feared their brother-in-law to varying degrees.
Therefore, a forced melon wouldn’t be sweet.
He didn’t expect his brother-in-law to change his personality. As long as nothing happened, it would be a blessing. So, keeping things peaceful on the surface was enough.
“Sister, you left without saying a word. I felt like I was counting the days at home!”
After pulling Tang Lian over, Gu Qingheng didn’t stand on ceremony and sat cross-legged opposite Mengyao Gu, looking like a pitiful abandoned person, which made Gu Yu’s mouth twitch with anger.
He really didn’t consult the almanac before returning this time!
When he returned from the seaside and wanted Mengyao Gu to admire some flowers, he ran into his annoying younger brother-in-law here.
Wait, Gu Qingheng bringing Tang Lian over clearly indicated they were on a date.
Their sudden arrival made him feel something was amiss.
“Did someone attack you midway?”
Gu Yu asked with a frown, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
He had only been away from the Capital for a few days, and someone dared to attack members of the Gu family? This was outrageous!
Attacking his younger brother-in-law? How dare they!!!
“Brother-in-law, you’re as amazing as ever! I hadn’t even spoken yet, and you’ve already guessed it.”
When Gu Qingheng heard Gu Yu’s words, he was no longer as surprised as before.
After all, they had lived together for so long, Gu Qingheng was accustomed to Gu Yu’s uncanny ability to predict things.
“You’ve made it very obvious. If you weren’t attacked midway, you wouldn’t have come empty-handed, nor would your clothes have mud stains and water marks on the hem, as well as the marks left on your shoes. All of this proves that you two were attacked.”
Looking at Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian, Gu Yu left one sentence unspoken.
These precocious kids were definitely out on a date. If they hadn’t been attacked, their clothes would have been in perfect order. Instead, they appeared disheveled.
Moreover, if Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian hadn’t been attacked, they would have been having a picnic in some corner, not directly disrupting his date with his little wife.
Therefore, Gu Yu added another charge against those who attacked Gu Qingheng.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you catch…”
“Oh my, Brother-in-law, you really don’t understand the valiant younger brother-in-law, nor the super cute Sister Lian. We’ve already cut the sneak attackers in half and don’t need your help… Of course, if Brother-in-law could give me more medicinal powder for self-defense, I’d be even safer.”
“You greedy guts.”
Seeing Gu Qingheng pushing his luck, Gu Yu gave him a sideways glance but didn’t refuse.
The attack on Gu Qingheng and Tang Lian proved that even the Capital was not safe, so it was better to have more hidden trump cards.
When they return this time, he would arrange for more medicinal powder for his younger brother-in-law.
“Over there, that brat stole my carriage, catch him!”
Just as Gu Yu and the other four were chatting and laughing, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away. Gu Qingheng turned his head and saw the man whose carriage they had stolen earlier chasing after them!
