Chapter 36 Part 2: Couple

 

^^

 

Gu Hui Yan had spent half his life as a military horse. He had very little free time, and even less personal time. Taking advantage of the only free time in the army, Gu Hui Yan had to deal with trivial matters of the fief, and came back to look after his mother, old Yan Wangfei, and on top of that he still need to be concerned about the dynamics in the capital. How could he have time to consider personal hobbies and all those trivialities.

 

Since the beginning, his life seems to be full of purpose. He studied rigorously when he was a child in order to inherit the mansion. When he was a boy, he joined the army to protect the Yan fief. His entire youths were spent on war from all sides for the emperor on the throne. Up until now when he was just entering middle age, even need to assist the young emperor, supporting the entire dynasty.

 

Such calm that almost rigid, what come and go was entirely black and white gray’s world. Lin Wei Xi this lively little girl naturally would not be able to understand.

 

When he came back to his senses, Gu Hui Yan laughed to himself. How old is he that he would be confused by beauty like a young boy. Lin Wei Xi now looks like a Persian cat with her paws tucked away. Snow white fur, focused and curious, Gu Hui Yan's palms were itchy, he really wants to touch her fluffy long hair. Then he thought that he already married her. There was no need to avoid suspicion like before. With this thoughts, Gu Hui Yan stretched out his hand to rub Lin Wei Xi's hair.

 

Lin Wei Xi who waited wholeheartedly for Gu Hui Yan's answer, finally found that the other party didn't mean to answer, but instead rubbed her hair with a smile. Lin Wei Xi couldn't bear avoiding it: "Yan Wang, I am not a child."

 

Gu Hui Yan touched his angry Persian cat as he wished, perfectly satisfied, and nodded to her with a smile: "I know."

 

This attitude again, Lin Wei Xi secretly annoyed. What kind of existence did she have in Gu Hui Yan's eyes? In the past Gu Hui Yan almost always give in to her unreasonable request, the only thing that contradicted Lin Wei Xi's wishes was probably going to the capital to come to the Yan Wang Mansion. Later, Lin Wei Xi even made more excessive demand. Gu Hui Yan apart from being angry on the first day, the next day under her coercion when she was fallen ill, he still did what she wanted to marry her.

 

Lin Wei Xi didn't really believe that the famous Yan Wang could be so easily threatened. What exactly was she to Yan Wang?

 

Lin Wei Xi unknowingly remembered Bu mama's words just now, how Shen Wangfei and Yan Wang really loved each other. Lin Wei Xi hurriedly stopped and returned to the topic at hand: "Wangye, what are your daily habits? Everyone has their own preferences. I am afraid that if I make arrangements rashly it will disrupt Wangye’s rhythm."

 

"It's okay." Gu Hui Yan said, "You can arrange it as you like. I'm fine with anything."

 

Lin Wei Xi was helpless: "Wangye, you don't have to consider my face like this. Husband and wife always need to compromise with each other. If I offend your space, you can tell me directly. Although I am small-minded, I am not unreasonable to this level."

 

Gu Hui Yan looked at Lin Wei Xi and chuckled, "It's rare, you actually know it too."

 

Lin Wei Xi's face turned red: "Wangye."

 

Gu Hui Yan could only hold back his laugh, but the eyes that looked at Lin Wei Xi were still full of smiles, like dots of stars: "What I said is true. The conditions in wartime were much worse than this, there was no room to be picky. You can just arrange it as you like, I don’t mind."

 

Lin Wei Xi was a little surprised: "Are you really not being polite with me?"

 

Gu Hui Yan was about to speak when Wan Yue's voice came from the outside: "Wangye, Wangfei, the meal is ready."

 

The dots of stars in Gu Hui Yan's eyes immediately dissipated like a low tide, he stood up first and then stretched out his hand to Lin Wei Xi to help her get up: "Let's go, eat first."

 

Gu Hui Yan's palm very smoothly reached out in front of her, Lin Wei Xi felt flattered, she quickly raised her head and glanced at Gu Hui Yan, and then hesitantly put her hand on his palm. Gu Hui Yan held Lin Wei Xi's slender palm, and with a slight force he pulled her to his side.

 

Lin Wei Xi...Lin Wei Xi was a little dizzy. Growing up she only had her maid holding her hand when she got out of the carriage. Obviously, the two were not the same. Even in the first month of her marriage in the previous life, when she and Gu Cheng Yao was still had false harmonious feeling, she had never treated like this. In her previous life, Lin Wei Xi always saw her male cousins ​​being very attentive towards Gao Ran. Even the maternal cousin who had just come to the Duke Mansion for the first time was attracted to Gao Xi first when they met. But it won’t take long before they would be more inclined to Gao Ran. They treated Gao Xi highly, respectful but estranged.

 

It had been so many years, Lin Wei Xi already accepted that her character was not very likable, but at this moment, she was treated kindly by another man, and it was the man she admired very much since she was young, Lin Wei Xi couldn't say how flattered she was. Nowadays, men like to put on master of the house’s arrogance, behind the curtain the wife could not even refute. How could it be possible to take the initiative to help his wife in front of many maids? Ordinary men already like that, what about the proud sons of the imperial family?

 

While having their meal Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but sneak in Gu Hui Yan's direction. Really can’t judge people by appearances. Gu Cheng Yao looked gentle and polite, and he was known as a gentleman, but in realty he was a heartless and selfish person. However, Gu Hui Yan had a high authority, most people did not dare to get close, but unexpectedly he was attentive and considerate. Asking the kitchen to prepare a hot soup for her yesterday was an example, and subtly taking care of her today was another case.

 

Lin Wei Xi finished the meal while silently felt a bit emotional. After the meal, Gu Mingda sent many books and reports from the outside, all of which were placed in the east side room. The east side room has a door that opens outwards, allowing direct entry and exit without going through the main room, so it was used as a study room. After all, this was the main courtyard of the Wangye and Wangfei.

 

But when Lin Wei Xi went to see it yesterday, although there were bookshelves and writing brush in the East room, there were no books or other things inside. Anyway, Gu Hui Yan usually handled the official documents in his own separate study room, and there was no need to move back to the inner house, so this small study room was just for display. But today didn’t know what happened, Gu Hui Yan ordered his servants to move the books he frequently used to the inner house. Lin Wei Xi was curious and couldn’t help asking: "Wangye, do you have anything urgent to deal with?"

 

Why else suddenly moved his things?

 

"These days I have seven days of wedding vacation. After this time, I won't have any leisure time. You just come to the mansion, I am afraid there are many places that still unfamiliar, in any case I can't leave you alone. "

 

On the surface, Gu Hui Yan spoke calmly, but in fact he was also very hesitant. He actually didn’t have many experience staying together with another person day and night, and with a woman it was close to nothing. Lin Wei Xi was trying very hard to be a qualified wife. Gu Hui Yan thought that he also need to do something, at least, to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband.

 

Accompanying his wife more often seems to be the most basic requirement.

 

Lin Wei Xi understand. In fact, Wang Yan was also working hard to accommodate her. Not only she was learning to be a wife, but Yan Wang was also adapting to the arrival of another person.

 

The running-in between husband and wife actually had just begun. Lin Wei Xi suddenly full of fighting spirit, and the frustration caused by Bu mama's words was also wiped away. With this kind a cooperation from Gu Hui Yan, Lin Wei Xi also immediately asked people to move the roster, bills, etc. to the side room. She still need to see the servants of the mansion this afternoon, and would not have time to sleep. In that case, it’s better to accompany Yan Wang to read.
