Chapter 103 A Gift from My Sister

When Gu Yichen heard his wife's reproach, his heart tightened, as if being grabbed by an invisible hand. He quickly broke free from the arms that were held by Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin, and walked quickly towards Lu Linger. Every step seemed so heavy, as if he was carrying a thousand-pound burden. He was depressed to the extreme, and even felt a little desperate. A thought kept echoing in his mind: This is over. The last matter was not settled yet, and now new troubles have been added. Oh God, please don't torture me like this anymore. Are you really going to let me live alone for the rest of my life? Although he is married, his current life makes him feel like he is alone.

Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin stood there, quietly watching their brother's receding back, and shook their heads helplessly. They exchanged a mischievous look, as if they were communicating something tacitly. "That's good now, there's no need to guess, the one who ran so fast must be the third brother." Yun Ruoxi couldn't help but tease. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of teasing. "The third brother has become a henpecked husband?" She laughed softly, with a hint of teasing in her tone. "It seems so." Yun Ruolin also laughed, with a glint of cunning in her eyes. The two sisters smiled at each other, and then continued to cast their gaze on Ji Junche in front of them, looking up and down at this mysterious and powerful man.

Ji Junche sighed helplessly, shaking his head and saying, "Third sister-in-law is a gentle and generous person, how can she be a henpecked husband? You two should stop talking nonsense. Besides, Third Brother has just been separated and moved out, and now he hasn't coaxed Third Sister-in-law well, so he probably needs to be 'punished more severely'."

Yun Ruoxi blinked, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and asked softly: "Really? But to be honest, my third brother's wife is such a beauty, no wonder my third brother is so nervous. If such a beauty is angered and left, my third brother will be in real trouble." She bit her lip lightly, as if thinking about something.

Yun Ruolin deliberately leaned close to Yun Ruoxi's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "How long do you think it will take my third brother to coax his wife? How about we make a bet, ten days or half a month?" After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

However, Yun Ruolin did not realize that Gu Yichen's predicament was caused by her sisters unintentionally. At this moment, Gu Yichen was in front of Lu Linger, with a sad face, thinking in his heart how to make Lu Linger forgive him.

Yun Ruoxi covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, then replied softly: "I think it will take at least a month. Look at how nervous third brother is. He has been tossed around so badly." Her gaze fell on Gu Yichen in the distance, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

Yun Ruolin suddenly stared at Lu Linger, her eyes flickering slightly, "Xier, do you think that my third brother's wife looks like a certain lady in the capital?"

Yun Ruoxi nodded, her eyes becoming more focused. "Yes, but I just can't remember who it is. We have to take a closer look at the next palace banquet."

Ji Junche immediately interrupted them, his expression a little nervous, "Remember, you two, don't mention our affairs in the capital in front of Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, let alone let it slip, understand?"

Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, Gu Yichen was trying to coax Lu Ling'er, tightly grasping her hand to prevent her from leaving. He spoke in a hurried tone, "Ling'er, please listen to my explanation. I don't know who they are, and I don't know why they're pestering me. I really didn't hug you, please don't do this!"

Lu Linger snorted softly, a hint of forbearance in her eyes. "There's a lot of people here now. We'll talk after you get back. Just wait." Although she was a little angry, she knew she couldn't make a scene in this situation. She noticed that two respected elders were standing next to Ji Yun. She knew it was not the right time to lose her temper. She had to be sensible and go back to deal with Gu Yichen behind closed doors. Although she was angry, she decided to save him some face outside.

She gently tugged at Gu Yichen's sleeve, signaled to Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu, and then took small steps with Gu Yichen to walk up to them. She bowed slightly to the two of them and said respectfully, "The daughter-in-law greets father and mother."

Ji Yun nodded with a smile on his face and whispered, "Ling'er, this is your great-grandfather, and the one next to him is your great uncle. Come and pay your respects." Hearing this, Lu Ling'er was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure. She performed a very standard blessing salute towards the two elders and said softly, "The great-daughter-in-law pays her respects to the great-grandfather and great uncle."

Seeing her so dignified and polite, Ji Huaide and Ji Jinghang were filled with joy, and kind smiles appeared on their faces. Ji Huaide nodded gently and said gently, "Good children, after the coming-of-age ceremony, I have some gifts for you. These are given to you by your great-grandmother and grandmother."

Lu Linger responded politely, but she felt a little strange in her heart. Ji Huaide and Ji Jinghang's eyes seemed to be full of inquiry, as if they were searching for something in her. But she didn't think much about it and just smiled slightly.

Gu Yichen noticed that Lu Ling'er's manner of greeting seemed different from that of other women. Her grace and composure seemed to come from the demeanor cultivated in a large family. Was she really just the daughter of a hunter? But he had a feeling that she was hiding some secret that he had yet to uncover.

Gu Yichen stood aside, holding Lu Ling'er's hand tightly. His heart became more and more uneasy, and he always felt that something was quietly slipping away from him. He could no longer bear it and whispered, "Ling'er, please don't go, don't leave me."

Lu Linger frowned slightly, looking at the anxious Gu Yichen before her. She felt a faint sense of satisfaction, but also a greater sense of disappointment. His explanation sounded pale and powerless to her. Did he really not understand why she left? She had never demanded perfection from him, but simply hoped he would be there when she needed him, rather than always regretting it later, as he did now.

Gu Yichen stayed beside Lu Ling'er, holding her hand tightly. His mind kept replaying the scene of their early marriage, when she always smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with trust. But now, he couldn't see the deep affection she once had in her eyes, only indifference and defensiveness. He knew all this was his fault.

Lu Linger patted his hand gently, motioning him to relax, and whispered soothingly: "Don't let your mind wander, just get down to business." Her tone was gentle yet firm, with a hint of blame but also a hint of reluctance.

Gu Yichen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he and Lu Linger walked to the altar together, ready to face the coming coronation ceremony.
