There was silence next door for a while, and after a while, Mrs. Chen asked tentatively:

"Then...if someone could treat An Ran as if she were his own child, would you be willing to marry her?"

Ning Weizhou's heart suddenly jumped up!

He loosened his palm, wiped the sweat on his thigh, and quickly clenched his fist, holding his breath and keeping quiet.

"I'm fine the way I am now. Getting married is so boring!"

Gu Feiwan spoke leisurely, her voice reaching Ning Weizhou's ears and penetrating into his heart.

His heart, which no longer belonged to him, was tugged at and drifted around without a place to go!

"Aren't you still unmarried? If getting married was so good, you should have agreed to marry the Crown Prince a long time ago!"

"We are different from you. He is a royal family member. I am impatient with those rules. Now that it is like this, I feel comfortable!"

"We? I am me, how can I be someone else?" Gu Feiwan chuckled, "I am a merchant's daughter, married into a rich family, I have to abide by the rules, how can I come out to drink with you every day? If I marry into an ordinary family, I am afraid that I will harm them instead!"

"I will be the head of the Gu family in the future. I will have no worries about food and drink in this life. You, please don't worry about me!"

Ning Weizhou didn't know whether he should laugh or be annoyed. He had clearly told himself that as long as she was fine, he would just watch from a distance and not disturb her.

But these feet seemed to recognize Gu Feiwan as their master!

Every day I want to try my luck at the restaurant, just hoping to be closer to her.

Listen to her voice, look at her back,

Such a day seems to be a colorful day!

Madam Chen and the emperor were so angry that they hit him on the head more than once and scolded him for being incompetent!

The emperor even said that if he didn't take action, he would just find a young man from the clan and arrange a marriage for Gu Feiwan!

Ning Weizhou smiled bitterly. Didn’t he want to?

He doesn't dare!

Swords and guns have no eyes. The Wu State still has many tough battles to fight. If something unexpected happens to him on the battlefield, wouldn't it ruin Gu Feiwan's life?

The Ning family is a den of tigers and wolves. Without his protection, he was afraid that Gu Feiwan would suffer!

As for the daughter that Gu Feiwan mentioned, his daughter, he naturally loved her as his own!

He heard that it was extremely difficult for a woman to get pregnant and give birth, and if she was not careful, two lives could be lost. He couldn't bear to let Gu Feiwan suffer this!

While my thoughts were drifting, I heard the door opening from next door. Gu Feiwan was about to go back.

Ning Weizhou was so scared that he ran behind the screen. Lou Er rolled his eyes without saying a word.

The doors are all closed, could it be that Miss Gu has X-ray vision?

Ning Weizhou came to his senses and rushed to the window again. After thinking for a while, he closed half of the window and hid behind it.

Gu Feiwan walked out of the door and was about to get on the carriage, but somehow, he suddenly turned around and looked upwards!

Ning Weizhou suddenly froze, even his breathing stopped!

Lou Er shook his head and really wanted to shout downstairs:

Let's go! If you don't leave now, General Ning will be suffocated to death!

After an unknown amount of time, just when Ning Weizhou's heart was about to jump out of his chest, Gu Feiwan finally boarded the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove away, and Ning Weizhou finally breathed a sigh of relief!

But when I sat down at the table again, I felt empty inside, as if all my soul had been taken away by the carriage!

"Let me tell you something!" Mrs. Chen didn't enter the room, but leaned against the door frame, looking like she was watching a good show:

"The Gu family is quietly looking for a good husband for Gu Feiwan. They are not trying to force her to get married, but they just want her not to be lonely. Now they have found two men and put them in the shop that Gu Feiwan often goes to."

"They are both young talents, good-looking and smart. If we spend more time together in the future, maybe they will fall in love with each other!"

Madam Chen looked mischievous and patted the door: "The Gu family is not a family that follows the rules. I just want to relieve my daughter's boredom, but if I touch Fei Wan, I will definitely take responsibility to the end..."

After saying this, Chen turned around and walked away.

Ning Weizhou was left sitting in the room, feeling mixed emotions!

If it were up to him, he should have gone to the Gu family to propose marriage immediately.

How could Gu Feiwan be with those scoundrels?

But he couldn't move his feet. Thinking about not being able to give Gu Feiwan a peaceful life, Ning Weizhou regretted for the first time that he had joined the army in anger!

Ning Weizhou was so upset that his hair was falling out, but Gu Feiwan was eating with gusto while holding the food box:

"Qinglin, next time remember to ask Madam Chen where she bought the preserved fruit. It really suits my taste!"

Qinglin leaned forward and pinched a piece, then shook his head after tasting it: "This taste, I'm afraid that Madam Chen made it specially for you!"

Now that winter has arrived, it is popular to eat preserved fruits in Beijing. However, since they are snacks, they are all sweet and sour.

Top-quality preserved fruits that are this big, sweet, and soft must be specially made.

Gu Feiwan looked very satisfied: "Mrs. Chen is so sincere, she has given me everything!"

There was a servant standing at the door of Gu's house. When he saw Gu Feiwan's carriage, he immediately stepped forward and helped lift the curtain:

"Miss, are you back? The master and the gentlemen are waiting for you in the hall!"

Gu Feiwan looked at the sky. It was still early in the morning and everyone should be busy outside. Why were they all gathered in the flower hall today?

"Is today an important day?" Gu Feiwan asked.

She has been back home for less than half a year, and perhaps there are important days in the Gu family that she doesn't know about.

The servant was delighted: "It's not a big day, it's just that the nobleman came to visit. I wanted to go to the street to look for you, but the nobleman wouldn't let me. He said that I shouldn't restrict you and should let you live freely."

Gu Feiwan was confused. The noble man the servant mentioned seemed to be extremely caring and doting on him!

But the Gu family never told her that there was such a person who had not been introduced to her!

But no matter what, the noble man had been waiting for him for a long time. Gu Feiwan felt ashamed in his heart and walked extra quickly.

"Fei Wan, come and meet Prince Rong!" At the entrance of the flower hall, Madam Gu was eagerly waiting.

Seeing Gu Feiwan's figure, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said in a low voice:

"Prince Rong just returned to the capital, and before he even entered the palace to pay his respects, he came to the Gu family and said he wanted to see you."

Prince Rong?

He is a good friend of my parents and the benefactor behind the Gu family!

Gu Feiwan quickly handed the food box to Qingshuang, and asked Qinglin to help him tidy up his appearance.

It was my first time meeting a royal family member. If I said I wasn't nervous, I'd be lying.

Gu Feiwan walked into the flower hall, with his eyebrows lowered, staring at his toes, and bowed to greet;

"Greetings to Prince Rong!"

The man at the top came down quickly, grabbed Gu Feiwan's arm with a pair of strong hands, and lifted her up.

A face with a full beard suddenly caught Gu Feiwan's eye.

He has a dark complexion, a distinct "川" character on his forehead, and a pair of piercing eyes.

"Is this my virtuous brother's biological daughter?" Prince Rong exerted force on his palms, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, Gu Feiwan would disappear!

Gu Feiwan's arm ached, but the person in front of him clearly had tears in his eyes and was very emotional.

She forced herself to stop him and smiled, "Should I call you 'Uncle'?"

"Hahaha, good, that's my brother's personality! He's not afraid of strangers and is very friendly!"

Prince Rong threw his head back and laughed, shaking back the tears that were about to fall.
