Chapter 164 – How Dare You Call Her Small!!!
When the news of the Royal Support Squad’s heavy losses arrived, Gu Yu was astounded, thinking that the other party’s actions were indeed very swift.
Originally, Gu Yu thought it would take a couple more days.
Unexpectedly… that very same evening, the other party was already preparing to make a move.
“Mengyao, with this kind of thing happening, can you really come back to rest now?”
“I can only rest for a day, and then I still have to continue living in the Imperial Palace. Although Empress Bai Qian said I could rest for a few more days, I feel that the current situation isn’t very good, so it’s better to be more careful.”
“Is that so…”
“Don’t be unhappy! After this matter is over, we’ll go home directly!”
After changing back into normal home clothes, Mengyao’s demeanor also transformed instantly, changing from decisive combatant to gentle and adorable.
And there wasn’t the slightest sense of incongruity.
Seeing Gu Yu looking dejected at this moment, Mengyao couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile, knowing that her little husband wanted to go home.
Although living in the capital was quite convenient, there were too many social obligations… Mengyao was very helpless about this.
However, after Bai Qian ascended the throne, they wouldn’t have to stay in the capital anymore.
“It’s been some time since we came to the capital, I want to go home! Although the days in Yang Family Village were leisurely, like a salted fish with no ambition, I lived very happily!”
Moreover, in Yang Family Village, Lian Town, no one dared to compete with him for Mengyao.
Muttering to himself, Gu Yu didn’t dare to say it out loud… After all, in the capital, the ones competing with him for his wife were Gu Qing and Auntie Fei, what could he say?
It was truly an injustice!
“I’m just taking a day off to accompany you! Don’t be unhappy, you’re getting ugly.”
“Hmph, I won’t get ugly! I recently looked in the mirror and found that I’ve become even more handsome!”
“Really?”
“More real than pearls! Come, come, come, look at how dazzling your husband’s peerless beauty is. A handsome man that other women cannot obtain is now in front of you, becoming your possession. Aren’t you thinking of doing something?”
“Mmm… I really don’t want to. Besides, Yu, you’re too narcissistic!!!”
After some playful banter, Gu Yu didn’t make any excessive demands, instead asking Mengyao to get a good night’s sleep to replenish her energy.
Although Mengyao didn’t say it, judging by the dark circles under her eyes, she hadn’t had a good rest in a long time.
Indeed, holding the position of a guard in the Imperial Palace was not easy.
Especially since Mengyao also led a group of Imperial Guards, it was even more tiring…
In such a situation, Gu Yu didn’t have many solutions. After all, he couldn’t find and kill all the people who threatened Bai Qian. He could only do his best to find spies in the palace and provide Mengyao with energy-boosting snacks.
That’s right, through a period of study, Gu Yu had already mastered the skill of making pastries.
Therefore, now was the time for him to show off his skills.
Mixing Space Spring Water into the pastries and letting his little wife eat them would definitely make her full of energy and no longer tired.
Although Gu Yu had wanted to send Space Spring Water over before, Mengyao could only drink it during meal times, and it wasn’t convenient to carry. So, while staying at home, he figured out this method.
Through experimentation, the effect had been confirmed to be very significant.
Moreover, it was unknown if it was due to using a lot of spring water in the pastries, but the pastries made not only tasted good but were even more effective than the spring water itself!
Gu Yu felt… he could even go out and sell pastries, and he would definitely make a fortune.
However, for such good things, it was still best to produce and sell them himself!
Besides, not everyone could eat what Gu Yu made.
He didn’t even tell his younger brother-in-law Gu Qingheng, specially preparing special meals for his own wife.
…
“Yu?”
After a beautiful sleep, when Mengyao woke up, she looked around and no one was there. Her expression was stunned, not knowing where Gu Yu had gone?
Usually, she couldn’t even drive him away.
Did something happen?
With this question in mind, Mengyao quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, and prepared to go out to find her little husband.
She hadn’t gotten enough sleep while on duty at the Imperial Palace before, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed… It seemed she needed to pay attention to resting from now on.
However, Yu would definitely lecture her.
For example, if she didn’t get enough sleep, she would become ugly and stupid, and she would even experience hair loss…
Thinking of Gu Yu’s serious face and his nagging, Mengyao couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling like the scene was vivid!
“Mengyao, why did you come out? Go back and rest, are you feeling dizzy!”
“What are you saying? I just didn’t get enough sleep, I didn’t lose too much blood, it’s nothing! What did you do just now? I didn’t see you when I woke up, so I thought I’d come out and look for you.”
However, to Mengyao’s surprise.
Before she could find Gu Yu, Gu Yu spotted her at a glance. Instead of his usual nagging, he worriedly told her to quickly go back and rest.
For her little husband’s thoughtfulness, Mengyao directly rewarded him with a kiss, which immediately made Gu Yu’s smile even more brilliant.
Mengyao also couldn’t help but smile and reached out to hug Gu Yu’s arm, sticking to him like a koala, rubbing her cheeks against his.
Perhaps it was because they hadn’t spent much time together recently, which made Mengyao miss Gu Yu greatly.
If they were at the border, it would be understandable not to see each other, but Gu Yu would come to her punctually every day during mealtimes, yet he couldn’t stay for too long, which made Mengyao feel very regretful.
Although to others, Mengyao was invincible on the battlefield and knowledgeable at tea parties, in front of Gu Yu, she was just a happy little woman who liked to act cute.
Because they were young spouses, they had gone through countless difficulties together, from the most challenging times to the present, witnessing each other’s growth and changes.
Sometimes, there was no need for many words; just a look was enough to know what the other was trying to convey.
It was this trust that allowed Mengyao to not hide anything in front of Gu Yu, and Gu Yu was the same.
“Alright, how old are you, and you’re still acting cute!”
“I’m still young!”
“Mmm, if you’re not talking about age, then yes, that part is indeed a bit small…”
“…You’re looking for a beating!”
As Gu Yu’s gaze drifted downwards, Mengyao paused, then realized. For Gu Yu’s vulgar behavior, she decided to solve all problems with her fists.
How dare you call her small!!!
Not small!!!
“Madam, I was wrong! This is the Energy Cookie that your husband painstakingly cooked for several hours! Would you like to try it?”
“Energy Cookie?”
Although Mengyao didn’t really hit him, her innate divine strength made Gu Yu a little unable to handle it.
Therefore, Gu Yu decided… from now on, he would never call Mengyao small again!!!
Small is good!
There is room for growth!
