Chapter 99: I definitely won’t be angry
After pulling Bai Linyue out of the opera house, Gu Yu didn’t delay too long. He booked a private room in a nearby teahouse and then sent Bai Linyue and Chengfeng Shan inside, letting the engaged couple have a good talk.
At the same time, Gu Yu showed a meaningful expression, reached out and patted Chengfeng Shan’s shoulder, and the smile on his lips made Chengfeng Shan feel a little scared.
He had a bad feeling… if he didn’t coax Bai Linyue well today, he wouldn’t be able to see the sun rise tomorrow.
It wasn’t that Bai Linyue would kill him, but that Gu Yu would make the first move…
After Gu Yu sent them into the private room, he immediately released the effects of the obedience powder. Just before Bai Linyue could unleash her shrill scolding, he took the lead to leave the private room and thoughtfully closed the door.
“Chengfeng Shan, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I’ll cut off your younger brother so you can’t find other women!!!”
However, even though Gu Yu closed the door, Bai Linyue’s roar was extremely piercing, making Gu Yu’s ears ring. He couldn’t help but sympathize with Chengfeng Shan.
But then, remembering how Chengfeng Shan had sold him out directly just now, Gu Yu immediately cast aside his sympathy and thought that Bai Linyue should deal with Chengfeng Shan more!
Viciously, without mercy.
Let Chengfeng Shan experience how beautiful the scenes of hell were!
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu didn’t dare to stay there any longer. After bidding farewell to Maoyuan Tang, he immediately hired a carriage and rushed back to the Gu Residence.
He was afraid that if his little wife found out that he had been to such a place in the next moment, it wouldn’t be something that could be resolved by a shrill scolding…
While Chengfeng Shan went back to kneel on the washboard and Gu Yu rushed home, Maoyuan Tang, being alone, had nothing to fear.
So, after seeing them both leave, Maoyuan Tang couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking how happy it was to be alone!
Then, he quickly hurried back to the ‘Exotic Charm’ Opera House to continue chatting with the beautiful Western Woman.
“Qingheng, where did your sister go?”
“My sister! She’s with Auntie Fei. Some women suddenly came to visit the house, and Auntie Fei is introducing my sister to them. They are currently drinking tea in the backyard garden.”
When Gu Yu rushed back to the Gu Residence, he saw that the place was peaceful, without any signs of a storm, which slightly relaxed Gu Yu’s tense emotions. He felt that the situation had not yet developed to a bad point.
At least, Mengyao Gu didn’t know yet!
It made sense! Mengyao Gu hadn’t stayed in the capital for long and didn’t have any close female friends, so her information wasn’t very up-to-date.
As long as Bai Linyue didn’t talk too much in the future, everything would be fine!!!
However, upon encountering Gu Qingheng, Gu Yu still couldn’t help but ask with concern, wanting to know what Mengyao Gu was doing.
When he learned that there were guests at the mansion, Gu Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but knit together. He worried if his little wife would get into trouble when interacting with these noble ladies from the capital!
“Didn’t you follow her? What if your sister gets bullied all by herself!”
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry! My sister won’t bully others. Besides, Auntie Fei is here too! She definitely won’t let my sister be bullied.”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng rolled his eyes to the sky, thinking that his sister wouldn’t be in trouble!
After all, this was still Gu Residence. Unless those women who came to visit wanted to offend Gu Qing, they wouldn’t be so foolish as to provoke Mengyao Gu.
Although Gu Qing was only a deputy general in the army now, he was young and promising, and his wife Gongsun Feifei had an even more powerful background, which allowed Gu Qing to strive for decades less. His future glory and wealth would be indispensable.
It was even possible that after Gongsun Jie retired, the position of Great General would fall to Gu Qing.
As Gu Qing’s daughter, Mengyao Gu’s status and position were very high now.
There would be no bullying, but there would be plenty of flattery, which made Gu Qingheng uncomfortable just thinking about it, so he didn’t go over to burden himself.
“Hmph, you say that, but you still want to play with Xia Tian… But where is Xia Tian?”
“Xia Tian went to practice her thievery skills with someone else. She told me not to follow, saying it would affect her performance.”
Gu Qingheng now looked like he had no will to live, and his mood was very low. Gu Yu was confused about what had happened?
However, he later learned… it was because Xia Tian didn’t let Gu Qingheng follow, which made him very upset now.
“Silly boy, if she says not to follow, you won’t follow? Women are sometimes contrary, so you should be more proactive.”
“Brother-in-law, I’m afraid Sister Xia Tian will dislike me!”
After calming down, Gu Yu also realized that he was being too sensitive. Now, within Gu Residence, Mengyao Gu would not be in trouble.
However, seeing his younger brother’s worried expression, Gu Yu began to offer him advice at this time, urging Gu Qingheng to be more proactive.
Through the interactions during this period, Gu Yu had gradually accepted the new member of the family – Xia Tian. At the same time, he discovered that his younger brother was truly in love, having already fallen for Xia Tian at such a young age, secretly harboring affection for her.
However, Xia Tian’s appearance was indeed cute, and she was among the taller ones of her age. No wonder Gu Qingheng liked her.
Usually, when they were in Yang Family Village, some of the young boys in the village also liked to come and play with Xia Tian, but they were all driven away by Gu Qingheng.
Once, when a child also called out “Sister Xia Tian,” Gu Qingheng became agitated and even got into a fight… When Gu Qingheng returned home covered in injuries, even Gu Yu was shocked.
Gu Qingheng was usually as elusive as a slippery loach, impossible to catch. How did he suddenly get beaten up like this?
And Mengyao Gu, upon seeing her brother being bullied, became furious and rolled up her sleeves, ready to avenge Gu Qingheng.
As a result, Gu Qingheng quickly stopped Mengyao Gu and then said that although he looked disheveled, he had beaten the other party into a pig’s head. If Mengyao Gu went now, she would be held accountable!
Hearing her brother say this, Mengyao Gu didn’t insist. However… she then curiously asked Gu Qingheng the reason for the fight, but Gu Qingheng stammered and refused to speak.
When Mengyao Gu pressed him hard, Gu Qingheng asked Mengyao Gu and Xia Tian to go out first. He wanted to talk to his brother-in-law.
Then, Gu Yu learned about his younger brother’s secret crush on Xia Tian.
Although Gu Yu married Mengyao Gu at a very young age and they were deeply in love, the premise was… Gu Yu was not a real child.
He was already eighteen years old before he transmigrated, so he couldn’t be considered a real child.
However, Gu Qingheng, his brother-in-law, was a real child!
Only nine years old this year, and he already had a crush.
Love truly knows no age!
“What are you afraid of? If you continue to stand here dejectedly, nothing will change. Your Sister Xia Tian is so cute, maybe she’s already been approached by someone complimenting her, saying how cute she is, how much she makes people…”
“Stop talking, I’m going to find her now!”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng’s eyes flashed with determination. He felt that it was indeed as his brother-in-law said, he couldn’t just sit and wait.
Sister Xia Tian must know his feelings, but she was pretending not to know, because she had concerns.
With Gu Qingheng’s clever mind, he could guess the reason… It was nothing more than worrying that if the relationship changed, the status quo would also change, and there were too many uncertainties in the future, making it difficult to take a step forward.
Especially since Xia Tian’s past was complicated, which made her not as innocent and carefree as ordinary little girls, but rather learned many things at a young age.
This mentality was very similar to Mengyao Gu, and it was also one of the reasons why Xia Tian admired Mengyao Gu, because she herself wanted to become as capable as Mengyao Gu in the future!
Therefore, although Xia Tian felt that Gu Qingheng was very good, she didn’t want anything to change for now.
At least, she wouldn’t consider these things until she became stronger…
However, it’s okay.
Sincerity can move mountains and seas.
Gu Qingheng did not believe that with a potential stock like him who could provide sustainable development, Sister Xia Tian would still choose someone else!
Now, he was going to embrace shamelessness and go play with Sister Xia Tian!
After personally watching Gu Qingheng leave, Gu Yu thought that there shouldn’t be any major issues with his little wife, so he should go back to his room to rest.
He was exhausted from rushing all the way.
“Yu, I just went with Auntie Fei to meet some guests. I heard them talking about many interesting things in the capital… I heard there’s a particularly famous opera house called ‘Exotic Charm’ recently. It’s full of Westerners with deep-set eyes and high noses. It’s a pity that the reviews aren’t very good, so we can’t go and see it.”
“Pfft.”
“Yu, what’s wrong?”
“Cough, cough, it’s nothing. I drank water too quickly just now and choked.”
Not long after Gu Yu returned to his room, Mengyao Gu excitedly pushed the door open. Then, as she told Gu Yu what she had done all afternoon, she mentioned the opera house, which immediately made cold sweat appear on Gu Yu’s forehead.
What a coincidence!
He had just come out of ‘Exotic Charm,’ and now Mengyao Gu looked like she wanted to go inside and see it. She must be very curious about the appearance of Westerners and wanted to see what blonde hair and blue eyes looked like.
And after hearing his little wife’s words, Gu Yu really wanted to tell her that there was nothing to see.
They all had two eyes and one nose…
“Mengyao, I have something to confess to you, but you have to promise not to be angry!”
“What is it! Yu, tell me, I definitely won’t be angry.”
Because he was always worried about the truth coming out, Gu Yu no longer wanted to hide it and wanted to say it all at once, so as to avoid being exposed by Bai Linyue later, which would be even more difficult to handle.
However, he needed to confirm first.
See if his little wife would be angry… The result seemed fine for now.
Mengyao would definitely not be like Bai Linyue; after all, she was very understanding!
“I just went to ‘Exotic Charm’…”
“What!!! Gu Yu, you actually went to that kind of place behind my back!!!”
Seeing Mengyao Gu instantly transform from a gentle and cute little wife into a raging mother dragon, switching between the two states seamlessly, Gu Yu was truly amazed. He felt that he was going to perish today.
