Chapter 87 Part 1: Intention

 

^^

 

Lin Wei Xi slept fretfully. During this time, she woke up several times, only opened her eyes and took a vague look before falling asleep again.

 

When she finally woke up, the night had completely come.

 

"Wangfei, the small kitchen keeps warming the food for you, do you want to set the meal now?"

 

Lin Wei Xi woke up and subconsciously looked at the side of the bed, but it was empty. Lin Wei Xi was supported by the maid, slowly sat up, "Where is Wangye?"

 

"Wangye watched over you for a long time. After you fell asleep, he went to the front yard."

 

"Went to the front yard." Lin Wei Xi looked down at the coiled branch and flowers on the brocade and sighed inexplicably, "I see."

 

Seeing that Lin Wei Xi was not in high spirits, Wan Yue said more cautiously: "Wangfei, do you want to set the meal?"

 

"I have no appetite, I don't want to eat." Lin Wei Xi said, "Let them withdraw."

 

Wan Yue looked awkward: "But, Wangye said to make sure to look after you and let you eat."

 

"You just listen to what he says? Why I didn't see you this diligent when I order you." Lin Wei Xi leaned on the bedpost and said casually, "Besides, if you don't say it, how will he know."

 

"Why don't I know?"

 

Wan Yue was shocked, and quickly turned her head, indeed she saw Wan Xing following like a quail at the back, her face almost pulled into a bitter melon. Wan Yue tried to compose herself, submissively bowing down: "Greetings Wangye."

 

Gu Hui Yan responded casually, and pointed to the outside lightly: "Go out and set the meal."

 

Wan Yue immediately lowered her head and left, didn’t dare to make eye contact with Lin Wei Xi at all. When the people left, Gu Hui Yan sat down by the bed and calmly pulled the corner of Lin Wei Xi's quilt: "Your courage is really big, letting the maid become your accomplice..."

 

Lin Wei Xi was very surprised when she saw Gu Hui Yan, but looking at Wan Xing and Wan Yue in front of Gu Hui Yan did not dare to speak out, completely treating his words as imperial decree, she felt uncomfortable for some reason. Her mood was not very good, and her tone was lazy: "Not as powerful as Wangye’s control over the mansion."

 

Gu Hui Yan certainly heard Lin Wei Xi's subtle moodiness. He asked, "Are you angry?"

 

"Why would I be angry, and what am I angry about?"

 

It seemed that the anger was not light, Gu Hui Yan didn't say much, carefully wrapped her in a quilt, and carried her to the Luohan bed outside to eat: "Even if you want to blame me, you should eat the food first. Your health is not good, and now you are carrying another life, cannot skip the meals."

 

Lin Wei Xi thought of the child in her stomach, became very alert, forcing herself to move her chopsticks. Gu Hui Yan was sitting opposite her, watching Lin Wei Xi only pick two bites of each dish and didn’t eat anymore. He sighed silently and gave Lin Wei Xi the milk soup with his own hands: "Try this, milk is good for you and the child."

 

Lin Wei Xi had no appetite looking at the bowl of soup. She shook her head and didn't want to eat any more. Gu Hui Yan sat next to her, slowly stirred the soup with a spoon, tried the temperature with his hand, and then scooped a spoon to put on Lin Wei Xi's lips: "Even if you have no appetite, eat a little more."

 

The spoon was on her lips, and once Lin Wei Xi opened her mouth she could eat it. Gu Hui Yan fed the soup very meticulously, and often just as soon as she swallowed, the other spoon was already at her lips. Before she knew it, Lin Wei Xi already drank half bowl down.

 

Gu Hui Yan estimated that Lin Wei Xi's normal appetite was almost reached, so he put down the spoon and bowl. He left the small table to the maids to clean, and returned to the room with Lin Wei Xi in his arms.

 

Lin Wei Xi felt that this was a bit too much, she was just pregnant, not unable to walk. She struggled for a little while thinking about going down, but as soon as her arms moved, Gu Hui Yan clasped it again: "Be good."

 

Lin Wei Xi could only lie back, at ease leaned on Gu Hui Yan's shoulder, it’s actually very comfortable being taken care of by Gu Hui Yan. Gu Hui Yan put the person on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and carefully wrapped Lin Wei Xi. However, his meticulous action did not mean that he was willing to spare this bold little wild cat: "You wanted to hide from me just now? You threatened the maid to cover you?"

 

Lin Wei Xi was not afraid of this kind of battle, and even vowed to bite back: "You obviously promised me to watch me sleep, but when I woke up I didn't see your shadow anywhere. Now you are still fierce with me!"

 

"Threaten the east, hit the west¹, look at the people on both sides and say something else², you learn well."

 

Lin Wei Xi snorted coldly, turned her face to the side, looked at the bed curtain, and refused to look at Gu Hui Yan again.

 

Gu Hui Yan was helpless. He pauses, and could only say: "Alright, don't be angry. Let me tell you a story."

 

"Coaxing this woman? Not listening."

 

"Really not listening?" Gu Hui Yan kept smiling, calmly looking at her, "This is something I have encountered before. Since you don't want to listen, then forget it."

 

Lin Wei Xi's ears moved, what happened to Yan Wang in the past? Lin Wei Xi turned her head slowly, coughing solemnly, "Then I will reluctantly listen."

 

When Lin Wei Xi played her temper, it could make people’s teeth itchy, but when she gave in, it was an adorable mess that made people almost could do nothing to her. Gu Hui Yan's eyes unknowingly filled with a smile, he sighed slightly, and said, "This is the matter in Chu Yuan years."

 

"Chu Yuan years?" Lin Wei Xi thought for a while before blurting out the words directly, "This reigning era is a bit old."

 

Gu Hui Yan looked at her silently without talking or laughing. Lin Wei Xi chuckled, but hurriedly held back: "I didn't mean that. I only state the facts. Chu Yuan is an era three generations ago. It is indeed a bit old..."

 

The more Lin Wei Xi talked about it, the more she felt that she couldn't return. She didn't really mean that Yan Wang was old. Now the reigning era was Yuan Jia, before that it was Jian Zhao, and before Jian Zhao was Chu Yuan. This reigning era was really old.

 

Lin Wei Xi said this and laughed, Gu Hui Yan looked at her helplessly. After Lin Wei Xi laughed enough, Gu Hui Yan could continue: "Twenty-fourth Year of Chu Yuan..."

 

Gu Hui Yan watched Lin Wei Xi roll her eyes upwards, obviously counting his age, and then she was about to laugh again. Gu Hui Yan said helplessly, "Don't laugh."
