Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"So what's going on between you and Lu Yaoyao? It seems like it's over, but why are you still connected?"

"Brother, don't worry about it."

Gu Huai himself couldn't figure out his relationship with Lu Yaoyao.

In fact, it doesn't matter anymore, but he just doesn't want to let go.

"I don't care. I'm afraid that in the end, you'll be the only one who gets hurt."

Gu Huai had a stubborn look on his face, and a look that made people feel disappointed. "That's what I wanted to do."

Gu Chen was so angry that he didn't want to talk to him.

Who would have thought that someone who used to be obsessed with fame would become someone crazy about love.

But Gu Huai is his younger brother, and he can't really sit back and do nothing.

For now, we can only keep a close eye on that person and hope he doesn't do anything out of line.

After Lu Yaoyao finished showering and opened the door, she saw the two brothers Gu Huai standing at the end of the corridor talking to each other. Both of them looked unhappy, especially Gu Chen, who seemed to be very angry.

What happened to the two brothers? Did they have a fight?

Lu Yaoyao didn't sleep much that night and set off on her journey the next day.

With a little girl chattering in my ear, life isn't so boring anymore.

Although the little girl is small, she has a keen eye.

"Girl, try this piece of cheese! Master Gu personally queued up to buy it this morning before leaving. It's still warm!"

"Since you feel so distressed, why don't you eat it for me?" Lu Yaoyao didn't fall for it, but her tone wasn't harsh, so the little girl dared to continue talking nonsense.

"I dare not do that. If I eat it, Master Gu will be furious with me and send me away. I finally have a good master and I can't bear to leave."

"Since you know that I am your master, why do you still act as a spy for Gu Huai and praise his good points everywhere?"

The little girl was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

But she also reacted quickly, and soon said with a smile: "I will eat it. If the master doesn't want to eat it, I will help you finish it all."

After driving for a while, the carriage stopped to rest.

The driver went to the nearby river to catch two fish, and the little girl picked up some firewood and started roasting the fish over the fire.

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so capable that you can even grill fish."

"Miss, you are too kind. When I was at home, my father often took me to the river to catch fish and grill them for food, so I learned a little bit about fishing." The little girl said with a smile as she turned the fish in her hand, her face full of innocence.

"Is your father still alive? How about I let you go back and reunite with your father?"

It would be better to let her go back, otherwise I really don’t know what to do with her when the time comes.

"No, my father is gone, and there is no one left at home. Master, please don't drive me away."

As she spoke, the little girl's eyes turned as red as a rabbit.

This made Lu Yaoyao at a loss, and she quickly wiped away her tears, "I don't mean to drive you away. I'm also worried that you miss your father."

The little girl shook her head, "There's no one left at my house."

"Okay, the grilled fish is ready." She was like a child, tears coming and going, and in the blink of an eye she was lively and energetic again. "Master, eat the big one, and Xiaoji and I will eat the smaller one."

"It's okay, just let Xiaoji eat the big one. He's a man and has a big appetite."

"Miss Lu, this is the roast chicken that the young master asked me to deliver."

"It's better for the girl to eat. She's too thin and needs to be nourished. We can just eat whatever we want."

As soon as Lu Yaoyao finished speaking, a young man rode his horse and rushed over.

"Look, now you don't have to fight, there's roast chicken to eat."

Gu Huai seemed to be worried that Lu Yaoyao wouldn't have enough to eat, so he actually had two roast chickens sent over.

The little girl happily took it and began to cut the roast chicken into pieces. She first handed a chicken leg to Lu Yaoyao, "Miss, please have a leg."

Lu Yaoyao took the chicken leg and started to chew it slowly.

The follower saw that his mission was accomplished and left quietly.

"Qingfeng, we're also having grilled fish and chicken today. Go prepare them."

Qingfeng sighed inwardly:

Why are you doing this?

But eating the same thing as Lu Yaoyao was probably the only way to comfort him.

He quickly ordered people to catch fish and hunt. When the grilled fish and chicken were served, Xie Qingchen broke off a chicken leg and handed it to Qingfeng, then broke off another one for himself and began to taste them carefully.

It seemed as if it was a rare delicacy in the world.

Along the way, amid the chattering of the little girl and Gu Huai's omnipresent care, after half a month's long journey, Lu Yaoyao finally arrived in the capital.

She lifted the car curtain and looked at the noisy streets. She knew that Gu Huai's return would inevitably stir up a storm in the capital, which seemed calm on the surface but was actually turbulent.

She had originally planned to stay in a hotel for two days and then look for a suitable house to live in, but when she entered the city, she found that the carriage was heading straight in one direction.

"Xiaoji, what's wrong? Where are you taking me?"

"Don't worry, miss. Everything will be fine. We'll be there soon."

Lu Yaoyao had a vague guess in her mind.

When the carriage stopped, Lu Yaoyao got off the carriage while Xiaoji couldn't hide his joy.

What came into view was a simple yet elegant house, the door of which was gently open, as if it was waiting for her specially.

A woman in a light blue gown stood in front of the door. Her eyes were gentle and steady, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, as if welcoming her back to a place that rightfully belonged to her.

"Ms. Lu, welcome home." Her voice was also very gentle, and every word was like a spring breeze, making people feel warm.

Lu Yaoyao was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Gu Huai was so considerate that not only did he take care of her meticulously along the way, but he even prepared the house for her before she even arrived in the capital.

This house was undoubtedly a piece of cake, and every detail was in line with her preferences, revealing his care and concern for her.

Lu Yaoyao was very moved, and her heart became heavier. Behind this meticulousness lay Gu Huai's heavy emotions and expectations.

"Mr. Gu said that the young lady doesn't like being restrained and prefers quietness, so he chose this house at the end of East Street. I hope you like it." The woman explained softly.

Lu Yaoyao stepped forward and asked politely, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"I'm someone Mr. Gu once helped, and I've always struggled to find a way to repay him. Now I finally have the opportunity. I hope I can fulfill my mission and take good care of Miss Lu."

Lu Yaoyao nodded.

She already appeared here. If she had never lived here, Gu Huai would probably be even more sad.

It can be seen that the woman is a person who does things efficiently and steadily. With her as the housekeeper, she only needs to concentrate on her own affairs. The housekeeper will keep everything in order. With the little maid and Xiaoji to accompany her, this kind of life can be considered a peaceful time.

However, there are often undercurrents beneath the calm.

Gu Huai's return did indeed cause quite a stir among the major forces in the capital.

Those who had conflicts with the Gu family began to stir and try to find opportunities to suppress Gu Huai.

Especially since the prince's men were once hostile to Gu Huai, Lu Yaoyao didn't see Gu Huai for several days after returning to Beijing.
