Chapter 85 Part 2: Dead Person

 

^^

 

"The edge of the box has wear down, and the jade bracelet inside has been rubbed very smoothly. Do you usually take it out to see it?"

 

Gu Hui Yan looked at Lin Wei Xi and said nonchalantly, "I shouldn't be so idle."

 

Lin Wei Xi was a little satisfied, she coughed and stretched her face, still looking serious and indifferent. In fact, after calming down and thinking about it again, Lin Wei Xi also felt that she walked into a dead end. This past six months Gu Hui Yan had been away from home most of the time, whenever he returned home, Lin Wei Xi always knew where and what he was doing. Gu Hui Yan was really busy, and the only free time was also spent with her. Things like remembering his dead wife, frequently seeing her things and thinking about its owner, was unlikely.

 

Lin Wei Xi's heart in knot, but now she had Yan Wang’s child in her belly, making her bolder and bolder. She raised the edge of her delicate chin, and questioned what happened in the past: "Wangye, I heard that you and Wangfei Shen fell in love at first sight. The first encounter must be very beautiful right? Unlike with me, you quietly took people to stand outside my house. My conversations with my aunt, didn’t know how much you heard. With this contrast, I’m afraid I’m more disgusting."

 

Gu Hui Yan sighed in his heart, women were really terrifying, how many old accounts did she have to turn over? Gu Hui Yan said: "In fact, it can't be said like that. I was busy dismissing the rebels and didn't pay attention to other things. On the contrary you, just one look leave a very deep impression."

 

Gu Hui Yan seemed to think of the scene at that time, and smiled slightly. Lin Wei Xi glared at him displeasedly: "Are you still smiling? You must despise me in your heart."

 

"No." Gu Hui Yan said these words very sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, "When you scold someone your speech was very fast and delicate, in fact it pleasant to hear."

 

Lin Wei Xi gritted her teeth. This was an insult to Lin Wei Xi's personal dignity. How dare you say that her curse is pleasant to hear? Seeing Lin Wei Xi a little annoyed, Gu Hui Yan suppressed his smile and stopped teasing her: "Alright, don't be angry anymore. You are carrying another body nowadays, cannot be too excited or angry. I also won’t care about what happened in the study today, you can do whatever you want." Gu Hui Yan paused, and seemed like inadvertently said: "The past is over. I won't do this inefficient thing."

 

This sentence was very vague, but Lin Wei Xi still understood what Gu Hui Yan meant. What he said was that the matter of Shen shi had passed, and he didn't want to be like everyone in the mansion thought, obsessed with his previous wife and often saw her things and thinking about her. In the eyes of Yan Wang, who emphasizes efficiency and regulation in everything, it was a pure waste of time.

 

Lin Wei Xi knew that she should be satisfied. When a wife found the relics of her predecessors, made a big fuss and entangled it endlessly, for the husband to speak in a good voice was already not easy. People like Yan Wang who explained patiently and soothed carefully were almost extinct. Everything shouldn’t be dig up to the roots and inquire at the base, this was the principle that Lin Wei Xi understood since she was young.

 

She pursed her lips, and softly said "Alright". After she finished speaking, she was still not convinced, and asked: "Wangye pays attention to everything that is useful. Then when I die in the future, do you think it is a waste of time to think of me?"

 

"Lin Wei Xi." Gu Hui Yan's expression immediately sank, and his imposing manner came out, immediately revealing a different Yan Wang, "Don't talk like that."

 

This was Gu Hui Yan’s true appearance. He was like that when facing outsiders. Lin Wei Xi reluctantly said "Oh", after a while, she secretly glanced at Gu Hui Yan, and then harshly said, "I cursed myself, you are mean because of this?"

 

Lin Wei Xi had this kind of ability, which could aroused people’s anger in one second and made people dumbfounded in the next. Gu Hui Yan glanced at her and slowly reduced his pressure: "Know your mistake? Don't do this again next time."

 

"Hmm." After Lin Wei Xi answered, she muttered very quietly, "I'm right again."

 

Gu Hui Yan heard it, but he pretend not to hear it, otherwise he didn't know what to do with this ancestor. Gu Hui Yan tucked Lin Wei Xi’s feet properly and helped her to lie down: "You have been crying for a long time, so lie down and rest for a while. You sleep at ease, I am here to watch you."

 

When Lin Wei Xi found that Gu Hui Yan would have been watching here, she felt much calmer. Crying was actually very exhausting. It didn't take long after Lin Wei Xi lied down that she fell asleep. Gu Hui Yan sat there and watched her sleeping face quietly. It unknown how long he watched, the sky outside had dimmed and the outline of the room slowly became unclear. Gu Hui Yan stood up and said to the maid who had been waiting outside the room: "Prepares hot dishes for Wangfei, as soon as she wakes up must let her eat. Forget it, at that time you come to the front yard to find me."

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue dare to be cheeky with Lin Wei Xi, but in front of Yan Wang, they were as obedient as a quail. The two of them answered "Yes" in a low voice and respectfully watched Gu Hui Yan's figure disappear into the vermilion winding corridor. When they could no longer hear the neat and powerful footsteps they finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

 

Gu Hui Yan returned to the study, all the way calm and fast. These two words seem to be contradictory, but they were perfectly combined with Gu Hui Yan. Gu Hui Yan didn't let anyone light the lamp, he sat quietly in the dark and remained silent for a long time.

 

Gu Mingda stood at the door and knocked three times: "Wangye."

 

Gu Hui Yan did not call, but Gu Mingda came over, which violated military regulations. Gu Hui Yan glanced at him lightly, instead of pursuing his rudeness, he asked: "What do you want to say?"

 

The two of them have known each other for more than 20 years, they went through fire and water together, the tacit understanding between them no longer needs words. Just as Gu Hui Yan didn't say a word, Gu Mingda knew what he was thinking. Just as Gu Mingda didn't ask, Gu Hui Yan guessed what he was going to say before he spoke.

 

"Wangye, why you didn’t tell Wangfei about Wangfei Shen's matter?"

 

Gu Hui Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "Respect the dead. What’s the point of saying it."

 

"But you didn't marry Wangfei Shen voluntarily." Gu Mingda was expressionless, but what he said was frightening. "When the old Wangfei wrote to ask you before, you didn’t even know this young lady of Shen family."

 

TN: The truth about Shen shi is in the next chapter, I feel like the author want to stretch this part a little bit. I’m quite busy these days so half a chapter a day is my limit, I’m sorry…
