I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 67 Part 1: Pair of Fishes

 

^^

 

Gu Cheng Yao saw Lin Wei Xi pick up the rabbit-shaped lantern from a distance, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

 

Was it a coincidence? Did Lin Wei Xi simply like this rabbit lamp, or was it because of the zodiac?

 

Lin Wei Xi was seventeen this year and her zodiac sign was dragon. The person with zodiac rabbit was Gao Xi.

 

Gu Cheng Yao could hardly control the shocking thoughts in his mind. For the first time, he was glad that the crowds around him gave him the opportunity to hide the expression on his face.

 

Lin Wei Xi satisfactorily picked up the lantern, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Hui Yan smiling and looking at her. His eyes were extremely dark and shining under the light. Because of the cold, Lin Wei Xi’s face looked blushing, she couldn't help running over to show Gu Hui Yan her trophy: "Wangye, look!"

 

Gu Hui Yan's smile was the same as usual. He held Lin Wei Xi's hand and warmed her hands while saying, "What should you call me outside?"

 

Lin Wei Xi suddenly realized, after much difficulty Gu Hui Yan finally agreed letting her come out to look at the lantern. For safety, Lin Wei Xi could not call him Wangye. Lin Wei Xi's cheeks were red again, but Gu Hui Yan held her hand without letting go. She could only get closer, lowly and quickly shouted: "Husband."

 

Gu Hui Yan smiled, and finally let go of her hand, no longer embarrassing her. In the presence of so many people, Lin Wei Xi was embarrassed to stay here, and quickly led the maids to another stall.

 

Lin Wei Xi walked in the front. The crowd around her looked normal, but they were actually emptied by the guard. However, Lin Wei Xi didn't know anything about it. She devoted herself entirely to the novel experience of shopping, and didn't notice anything different around her.

 

Compared to Lin Wei Xi, the atmosphere around Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran was very dull. Although Gao Ran didn't want to come at first, unlike in modern era, Lantern Festival was the true Valentine's Day of the ancient times. In a sense, this trip was considered a couple's date. Even though Gao Ran dislike the noise, but when she really stood on the street she was also full of longing. Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan walked in front, the two of them were joking around, and many people nearby couldn't help but look at them. Gao Ran was also a little envious when she saw it. She secretly glanced at Gu Cheng Yao but found that his expression was cold and desolate, didn't know what he was thinking. Gao Ran was a little disappointed. She tried to comfort herself, Gu Cheng Yao was just not used to such noisy occasion. He was born a noble and extravagance young master, how could he come to such crowded place?

 

Lin Wei Xi had a lot of fun all the way, even when returned to the mansion her eyes were still shining. This evening she ate and played, and bought a lot of things. The Jingcheng Courtyard’s maids who hadn't been able to go out saw Lin Wei Xi returned and noisily came over to take a look.

 

This kind of commoner plaything was out of place in the dignified and splendid mansion, but it had its own charm. Wan Xing and Wan Yue also had a good time today, and now everyone gathered around, Wan Xing was almost like a fish returning to the sea, and immediately showed her talents, telling the little sisters vividly about what she saw along the way.

 

Wan Yue shook her head helplessly. She walked to Lin Wei Xi and asked in a low voice: "Wangfei, you have been walking for a long time tonight, do you want to take a bath to relieve your fatigue?"

 

"Alright." Lin Wei Xi nodded, as soon as Wan Yue got the order she immediately went out and ordered people to prepare water. Most of the maid in the inner room went out, Gu Hui Yan looked at the cheerful Lin Wei Xi, smiled and asked, "Are you very happy today?"

 

Lin Wei Xi sat in front of the dresser, removing her earrings and saying, "Yes, although you can see the lanterns in the mansion, but it's not as popular as the Lantern Festival outside. Did it cause a lot of trouble to Wangye today?"

 

"No."

 

Lin Wei Xi chuckled lightly, put her earrings in the brocade box, and turned around to plunge into Gu Hui Yan's arms: "Thank you, Wangye! I have never been to a real Lantern Festival."

 

Lin Wei Xi's hug was purely out of joy. After expressing her excitement, she let go of her hand and turned to the bathing room to take a bath. Lin Wei Xi's hug came and went quickly, and before a person could react, she had already slipped away like a fish.

 

Gu Hui Yan stood there, smiling as he watched her drill into the bathing room nimbly and quickly. After her figure disappeared, the smile on Gu Hui Yan's face slipped away little by little. Lin Wei Xi brought back many small plaything, most of which were kept outside by Wan Xing, but Lin Wei Xi really liked the rabbit lantern, so she left it by her side and put it on the Babu bed.

 

Gu Hui Yan slowly strolled and walked in front of this delicate and lovely rabbit lantern, the light in his eyes flicked and his expression was unpredictable.

 

Have never been to the real Lantern Festival? With Lin Yong's temperament who loved his daughter dearly, even if his daughter was weak since childhood, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.

 

What kind of person could just now participate in the common thing like Lantern Festival for the first time?

 

After the Lantern Festival passed, the morning court soon resumed, and Gu Hui Yan also returned to his daily routine of leaving early and returning late. Without realizing it the regular days slipped away quickly. In a blink of an eye, the wellhead melts and spring returned to the earth.

 

There was a drizzle a few days ago, the weather got warmer every day, and the light spring clothes finally didn't need to be pressed under the box. Lin Wei Xi put on a bright spring jacket, and has been busy leading the maid to clean up the things for the season. Also took advantage of the good weather, washed and dried the thick winter clothes, and then took out the large wooden utensils, books, writing brush, etc. that have been pressed for a year to bask in the sun.

 

The main room was turned upside down, and the breath of spring from the willows also filled the house. Today, when Lin Wei Xi was packing things up, she accidently turned over a delicate brocade box.

 

She was very curious, Gu Hui Yan didn't seem to be the kind of person who usually collect such things. She and Gu Hui Yan didn't avoid any taboos, so despite this was Gu Hui Yan's things, she opened it immediately.

 

However, when Lin Wei Xi saw what was inside, Lin Wei Xi's originally relaxed expression stagnated.

 

Gu Hui Yan who just came back from the outside saw Lin Wei Xi standing still in one place. He walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

 

Lin Wei Xi did not respond even when Gu Hui Yan already standing behind her. Lin Wei Xi quickly adjusted her mentality, turned around while acting casually, and smiled: "I saw this box, and I was wondering why Wangye would collect jade pendants, but coincidently, Wangye is back."

 

Gu Hui Yan glanced at the things in Lin Wei Xi's hand, smiled lightly at Lin Wei Xi, his eyes were focused for some reason: "This is not my jade pendant, but it is entrusted by others, and later just leave it with me."

 

Lin Wei Xi of course understood the origin of this pair of jade pendants. Laid quietly in the brocade box were a pair of Hetian white jade, following the original lines of the jade, it was delicately carved into a fish shape, it was so lifelike, as if it was about to jump out in the next second.
