Chapter 96 Morning Light

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the bed. Gu Yichen slowly opened his eyes, the fatigue of the previous night swept away in the morning light. He tilted his head to look at Lu Ling'er, and found that she was still asleep. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her face was slightly flushed, and the corner of her lips seemed to be a smile. The scene of the previous night came to his mind, and he couldn't help but curl his lips, and an uncontrollable tenderness welled up in his heart.

He gently stroked Lu Ling'er's cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin with his fingertips, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. At this moment, he deeply realized that she was not only his wife, but also a part of his life, his responsibility and sense of belonging. He couldn't help but regret that he was too immersed in the warm moments between them last night, which made her so tired. But this feeling of intimacy made him unable to extricate himself. "Fortunately, she belongs to me, and will always be mine." Gu Yichen felt a strong possessive desire in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, he carefully got up, quickly put on his clothes, and gently opened the door, ready to go out for morning exercise. Before leaving the room, he looked back at Lu Ling'er lying on the bed, a satisfied smile still on his lips.

However, not long after Gu Yichen left, Lu Linger slowly opened her eyes. Although her body still ached and felt uncomfortable, after all, the passion of last night was a bit too intense for her, she still tried to cheer herself up. "That damned Gu Yichen, what a hungry wolf!" She cursed silently in her heart, her face flushed with shyness and a hint of regret. As she recalled the scene of last night, her cheeks couldn't help but heat up. The excessive intimacy of last night made her feel an unspeakable complex emotion in her heart - a mixture of sweetness and vague resistance.

Lu Linger bit her lip, a stubborn feeling of resistance rising in her heart: "I can't let him be so proud any longer!" She sat up, gently rubbing her aching shoulders, and decided to teach this cunning "fox spirit" a lesson.

As she washed up, she thought about how to make Gu Yichen suffer. Thinking of his smug look, Lu Linger felt so angry that her teeth itched.

After finishing washing up, Lu Linger walked out of the room and happened to see Gu Yichen standing in front of the dressing table with a wooden comb in his hand. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing her come out, Gu Yichen showed a gentle smile on his face. He knew that he had gone a little too far last night, so he deliberately acted extra considerate today.

He gently pulled Lu Linger to sit down, then carefully combed her long hair, his movements as gentle as if he was caressing a precious treasure.

Lu Linger's heart was slightly moved, but it was quickly covered up by her stubborn emotions. She secretly told herself that she must not be easily moved by his gentleness.

However, as Gu Yichen's fingers shuttled through her hair, Lu Ling'er's heart gradually softened. This feeling was both strange and beautiful, leaving her a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Gu Yichen said softly: "Ling'er, I know I lost control last night, but..."

Lu Linger interrupted him: "Okay, stop talking." She didn't want to hear his explanation because she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted.

Gu Yichen sighed helplessly and continued to comb her hair. A subtle atmosphere filled the air between the two of them, as if time had frozen.

"Ling'er, I was wrong last night." Gu Yichen said softly while combing his hair, with a hint of apology in his voice. "Manager Zhang said that the pig, cattle and sheep pens are finished. Father also wants us to check out the foundation of the winery. You should come with us."

Lu Ling'er had initially considered ignoring him out of spite, but hearing about the brewery piqued her interest. "Father decided on a location so quickly?" she was surprised. She immediately began to ponder the brewery's blueprints and process, temporarily forgetting her plan to "retaliate" against Gu Yichen.

"Well, father takes this matter very seriously. Let's go and see it after we have breakfast with our parents." Gu Yichen inserted the phoenix wood hairpin he carved himself into Lu Linger's bun, looking at her face gently, as if this was an extremely important ceremony.

The two hurried to the main house's dining room, only to find Ji Yun, Gu Yazhu, and Ji Junche already seated at the table. As soon as they saw the couple, their eyes betrayed a tacit understanding, as if they had seen through what had happened the previous night. Ji Junche, in particular, curled his lips involuntarily, revealing a sly smile. Fu Dong and Si Qin, standing nearby, also chuckled quietly, clearly understanding what had happened.

Lu Ling'er didn't notice the strange looks from everyone. Her stomach had already rumbled at the aroma of the delicious food on the table, and she couldn't wait to sit down and start digging in. "Father, Mother, Uncle, good morning!" she greeted everyone cheerfully, then quickly turned her attention to the delicious dishes on the table—shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, chicken feet, and barbecued pork buns. Each dish was so delicious that it made her mouth water. Just as she was enjoying the food, her maid Xiao Cui approached and gave her a wink. But Lu Ling'er was so engrossed in savoring the food that she didn't even notice Xiao Cui's hint.

At this time, Gu Yazhu couldn't bear it anymore and coughed twice to remind him.

"Ling'er, after breakfast, come with me to the side room to take my pulse." Gu Yazhu said as she put some food into her mouth, a barely perceptible smile on her face. Lu Ling'er was startled when she heard this, and quickly put down her chopsticks. She looked at Gu Yazhu nervously and said, "Mother, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go over and see her now?" She was secretly worried, fearing that her mother-in-law had some hidden illness that she was hiding from her.

Seeing Lu Ling'er's nervous expression, Gu Yazhu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, silly child, don't be anxious, eat first, and then go after that." Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Lu Ling'er was relieved a little, but still a little worried. She turned to Xiao Cui beside her and said, "Xiao Cui, go get my medicine box." Xiao Cui responded and hurried away.

When Xiao Cui returned, Lu Ling'er had already helped Gu Yazhu back to the wing room. She asked Xiao Cui to put the medicine box on the table, then she opened it herself and took out the pulse pillow and the silk thread for pulse diagnosis. She carefully placed the pulse pillow on the bedside and gestured for Gu Yazhu to stretch out her wrist. Lu Ling'er gently placed the silk thread on Gu Yazhu's pulse, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the pulse. After a while, she opened her eyes, smiled and said to Gu Yazhu, "Mother, your pulse is stable and strong, there is nothing wrong." Gu Yazhu smiled and nodded, "Well, that's good."

At this time, Lu Linger noticed that Ji Yun, Ji Junche and Gu Yichen were still standing at the door, so she whispered, "Father, husband, and uncle, you guys go back and have breakfast first. I'll be here." Ji Yun nodded and turned to leave.

However, when they returned to the dining room to continue their breakfast, Ji Yun glared at Gu Yichen fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "You unfilial son, what on earth did you do last night! Now you want your mother to help you clean up the mess!" After that, he quickly left the room.

Gu Yichen wore a nonchalant smile, his chopsticks still moving as he continued to pick up food and put it into his mouth, muttering, "Father, don't worry. This is just some little fun between us. Anyway, everyone knows that I'm married now, so this saves a lot of trouble!"

Ji Yun glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said sternly, "Look at that obvious mark on your neck. Go back and change your clothes! Don't let the servants see you, or else there will be gossip." Upon hearing this, Gu Yichen subconsciously touched his neck and smiled disapprovingly, but he felt a little proud in his heart. After all, this was proof of his wife's love for him! But he still nodded obediently, indicating that he would do as he was told.

Ji Junche, who was watching this scene, finally couldn't help laughing out loud. However, as soon as Ji Yun turned his head, he immediately glared at him and scolded him loudly: "What are you laughing at? When you get married, don't follow your eldest brother's example and make trouble like him so that the whole family knows about it!" Ji Junche quickly put away his smile and put on a serious expression, but his eyes still sparkled with mischief.
