Chapter 105 Part 1 Extra Story: Gu Hui Yan

 

^^

 

"Wangye."

 

Gu Mingda stopped three steps away, as his habit for many years, bowing his head respectfully and abide by the rules. He said many times that when there was no one around, there was no need for them to be so restrained. But Gu Mingda agreed on the surface, and yet it would be the same the next time.

 

Gu Hui Yan knew that he could not change this stubborn confidant, so he let Gu Mingda do as he please. But today, Gu Mingda was standing three steps away, Gu Hui Yan paused for a long time before saying to Gu Mingda: "Come here."

 

Gu Mingda still looked inflexible and cold. Like a machine without feelings, he put a thick stack of envelopes on Gu Hui Yan's desk, then stepped back into the darkness without saying a word, turned and closed the door.

 

It seems that Wangye’s unusual silence, suddenly let him personally check the life of Wangfei, all were extraordinary things.

 

After Gu Mingda went out for a long time, Gu Hui Yan still sat on the red sandalwood seat surrounded by fragrance smoke curling up, unable to open the envelope for a long time.

 

He turned a blind eye to this matter for nearly a year, and now the truth was at his hand, and he was unwilling to open it.

 

But some things were already so obvious that he couldn't ignore it. Finally, Gu Hui Yan reached out his hand and slowly tore the letter open.

 

Here was Lin Wei Xi's life in Shunde Prefecture, including her birth date, her life experience, also her personality and hobbies... Gu Hui Yan read very rapidly, almost cruelly reading all the investigations from the beginning. He put down the last page, and the candlelight jumped in his eyes, dark and frightening.

 

At this time, the night was already very deep, and he suddenly returned, shocking the maids at Jingcheng Courtyard. The two maids beside her looked at him cautiously: "Wangye, Wangfei has been waiting for a long time, cannot help but fell asleep."

 

"I see, go on."

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue filed out with the other maids. Following his actions, the lights of Jingcheng Courtyard were brightened, and now they fell into silence again.

 

Gu Hui Yan walked slowly to the inner room where they were living, opened the bed curtain, and from some distance stared deeply at her profile.

 

She slept unsteadily, seemed to feel the wind from outside, and her eyebrows frowned uneasily. Lin Wei Xi’s sleep was not always peaceful, this matter he knew on the first day, but actually when he was away, Lin Wei Xi would curl up into a ball and shrank in a corner like a baby. He subconsciously wanted to pull her away, even if the quilt was spread, she might still catch a cold leaning against the wall like this. But his hand had just reached out halfway, his fingers suddenly curled up, and finally took it back restrainedly.

 

How he wished he didn't know about it, so that he could still pretend that everything was good and continue to keep her by his side. When she was in the right she could be unforgiving to people, slept very insecurely, liked to eat sweets and spicy foods, and especially afraid of cold in winter... He knew a lot of her cute little movements, and many of his habits gradually merged with hers. He once thought they had the rest of their lives to enrich these details.

 

This joke-like marriage began with his momentary selfishness. He was always harsh and rational at himself, but at that moment, when Lin Wei Xi made this request to him, his long-lost heart actually moved. But soon, he woke up.

 

Lin Wei Xi was just confused. She could be confused, but he could not. However he obviously underestimated Lin Wei Xi’s stubbornness. That very night she had a high fever, even if her cheeks were red, but she had to forcibly climb up from the bed, with hoarse voices said to him: "Your Highness, what I said yesterday was not just nonsense."

 

Gu Hui Yan looked at her for a long time: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

 

She paused and said, "I know."

 

But Gu Hui Yan knew very well that she didn't know, she was just a little girl who hadn't been out in the world. Because she was compared by a woman she didn't like, so she willfully wanted to win back. What did she say yesterday? She actually came to him and said, aren’t you lack a wife. Look, how about me?

 

Gu Hui Yan suddenly felt an extremely despicable mood. This was what she said. Pushing the boat with the current, also not impossible.

 

Gu Hui Yan couldn't tell who he was angry with. He took people out and walked through the winding corridor. He suddenly saw a wisteria tree on the flower stand swaying by the wind. Normally, he would never notice these flowers and plants. He stayed on the corridor for a long time, until the gardener who looked after the courtyard almost fell to his knees in fright.

 

"Wangye, perhaps it’s the wind."

 

It's not the wind. It was not the wind that move, it’s his heart.

Gu Hui Yan finally decided to obey his own heart for once. He was harsh on himself since he was a child, not allowed himself to indulge in things, and not allowed himself to waste time with hobbies. He had always been restraining himself, constantly taking care of the mansion, Yan land, mother, father, and later on Shen shi.

 

But this time, Gu Hui Yan thought, maybe he could indulge himself this once. Yan Wang Mansion always need a Wangfei, many social necessities and ceremonial façades couldn’t be brought forward by Shizi Consort.

 

From that indulgence, he step by step surrender and never came back.
