Chapter 32 Part 1: Tea

 

^^

 

Lin Wei Xi couldn't sleep well all night, in fact Gu Hui Yan didn't sleep well either. He spent most of his early years on the battlefield, a slight negligence lead to a dead end, so Gu Hui Yan had long developed a vigilant sleep habit and would opened his eyes when he was slightly disturbed. Right now suddenly there was a person next to him, and this girl’s sleeping posture was not very good. It was conceivable that Gu Hui Yan didn’t close his eyes very much all night. When he finally adjusted after much difficulty, the east sky also gradually turned pale. It didn’t take long, after many years cultivating habit, for his biological clock to make him wake up on time.

 

Gu Hui Yan resignedly sighed. It seems that were still many places that needs to be adjusted. He laid down for a while before sitting up. Lin Wei Xi who had difficulties sleeping in a bed other than her own, vaguely felt a movement from her side, she was very startled till she sobered up, and straightly opened her eyes. She looked dazedly at the big red bed curtain in front of her for a long time. She was thinking hard, and suddenly felt a pat on her head: "Now that you wake up, get up, don't be in a daze."

 

Lin Wei Xi struggled to get up, staring at the person in front of her in a daze, then looking back at the furnishings in the room, her consciousness finally returned. Yes, she got married yesterday, and to His Highness Yan Wang.

 

Lin Wei Xi couldn’t tell between night and day. She was sitting on the bed in daze holding the quilt. Gu Hui Yan already changed his clothes. When he turned around, he found that Lin Wei Xi was still sitting on the bed while holding her knees, his heart felt amuse and helpless, could only opened the bed curtain, stand on the bed step, and say to her: "Still in a daze? They will offer you tea in a while. Are you not embarrassed to let the juniors wait?"

 

Lin Wei Xi was used to living comfortably in her boudoir, but now on such cold day unexpectedly still need to get up, especially after last night, her body was still feels uncomfortable. But hearing Gu Hui Yan's words, Lin Wei Xi cheered up. Yes, from now on, she was the elder of Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran. Today, she was going to accept these two people’s worship. How could such a satisfyingly good thing be delayed by sleeping in?

 

Lin Wei Xi immediately became excited. Seeing that she was finally willing to take action, Gu Hui Yan smiled in his heart, put down the curtain, and no longer disturbed her changing space.

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue had already waited outside the door with hot water, there were no people on the night watch yesterday. Gu Hui Yan was very vigilant. Sleeping with other people on his side was his limit. If he kept the servant girls on night watch duty, afraid he would not be able to sleep in the future. Lin Wei Xi used to leave a maid on the small couch outside the room to be on night watch duty since she was a child, but now she could only follow Gu Hui Yan's directions, the granny and servant girl on night duty would all be removed.

 

After Lin Wei Xi changed her clothes, she let down her hair and called out, Wan Xing and Wan Yue opened the door and walked in. The whole morning seemed to be active with Lin Wei Xi's sound. The maids came and went, seemingly chaotic, but there was order in it, and the center of this vortex was Lin Wei Xi.

 

Gu Hui Yan actually did not understand why dressing and washing needed so many people to help, but this morning he stood across numerous attendant, saw the exquisite and seemingly not from human world woman standing in the center of everyone. Stretching out her hands casually and naturally, letting the maids on both sides tie her gorgeous dresses and tidy up every fold. Perhaps because her hair hindered the collar, Lin Wei Xi pulled her long hair that was like a black waterfall. The silky and smooth hair drew a graceful arc in the morning light. Lin Wei Xi did not care to smooth it out. Her delicate face did not have many expressions, but just this kind of carelessness, deeply attracted the attention of male creatures, almost unable to break free.

 

Gu Hui Yan watched silently for a while, his Adam's apple slightly moved, and finally forced himself to turn his eyes away. He spent half his life as a military horse. In the past his world was full of armored horses on frozen rivers, and the desert's lonely mist, his life was like a moon in a vast desert, quiet and calm, full of order, and the only thing he could hear was the wind. Until one day, a red delicate flower suddenly penetrated into the desolate sea of ​​sand. She herself was weak and tender, but wanted to take roots in the desert, tried to change something with her own power.

 

In this world, there were armored horses that was unbearable like frosty cold spring wind, and there were green willows and red flowers brightly flourishing, the former was him, the latter was Lin Wei Xi. Gu Hui Yan suddenly understood why there were so many kind of jewelry and precious stones in this world. If it’s Lin Wei Xi, she was indeed worthy of all the treasures in the world for her to match.

 

The daily arrangements of Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan were probably separated by a galaxy. Gu Hui Yan never done anything artificial. Whether taking a bath or eats or changes clothes, he was silent and quick. But Lin Wei Xi was different, or rather it was the opposite. As a woman, or rather as a beautiful woman, it was quite normal to took a while to dress up and do make up.

 

By the time Lin Wei Xi finally tidied up to her satisfaction, Gu Hui Yan had already read half of a book in the cubicle. Lin Wei Xi stood at the door with some embarrassment, and whispered, "Wangye."

 

Gu Hui Yan put down his book as soon as Lin Wei Xi approached. At this moment, he just got up and walked to Lin Wei Xi's side. The expression on his face was very calm, not at all like someone who usually fined his subordinates with twenty army sticks for being late even a little bit, the iron commander. Lin Wei Xi today put on a red dress and cross-collared jacket with a skirt of the same color underneath. The skirt was full of large peony flowers. When she stood here, almost half the room was lit up. Gu Hui Yan's eyes stayed on Lin Wei Xi’s body for a while, without concealing the surprise and smile in his eyes: "Very good, let's go."

 

Lin Wei Xi took a long time to realize that the previous sentence "very good" was complimenting her.

 

Lin Wei Xi always spends a lot of time on dressing because she liked to make herself beautiful, but it was certainly more enjoyable to be appreciated by others, especially if this person was Yan Wang. Lin Wei Xi was in a good mood, and followed beside Gu Hui Yan, as he walked to the mansion’s main hall.

 

It was not surprising that Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran were already waiting in the main hall. Lin Wei Xi put away the smile on her face, took out the elder's attitude, and sat solemnly on the right side of Gu Hui Yan.

 

As soon as Gu Hui Yan showed up, the sound of conversation in the hall disappeared. Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao stood to the side with their heads down to welcome their father. Following Gu Hui Yan, a bright red skirt swept past the people presence, and then Lin Wei Xi sat on the armchair in the main hall with her chin slightly closed, looking at them heavily.

 

Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran were both felt complicated when they saw this scene. Yesterday was Yan Wang and Lin Wei Xi’s big wedding. Gao Ran did not leave her room because she wanted to avoid her future mother-in-law. Gu Cheng Yao, as a stepson, didn't make sense to hang around in front of the young stepmother. This lead to today embarrassing meeting. When she left in May, who would have thought when they met again, they would have a mother-child relationship.
