Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Seeing Gu Huan'er so smug, Song Ruozhen and the others couldn't help but wonder what kind of treasure it was.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

Gu Huan'er opened the brocade box with great joy, but everyone present was stunned for a moment when they saw what was inside.

Because inside the brocade box was a statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, who grants children!

"Cough, cough." Chu Yungui coughed lightly, but couldn't stop smiling. The girl he liked was truly a genius!

Song Ruozhen subconsciously looked at Chu Junting, her face already flushed.

A playful glint flashed in Chu Junting's eyes; this gift was indeed quite interesting.

When Gu Huan'er saw that everyone fell silent after she took out the gift, she couldn't help but say, "What's with all those expressions? Isn't it nice?"

This Guanyin statue, which grants children, was specially obtained by me. It's been consecrated and is very effective!

Song Ruozhen: "..."

She often admired Gu Huan'er, because despite being so young, the gifts she gave were so similar to the ideas of her elders.

Yun Nianchu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. She thought Ruozhen's cousin was really adorable.

"Cousin, don't you like it?" Gu Huan'er's face fell, looking somewhat defeated. This was a gift she had carefully selected.

Song Ruozhen replied, "Of course I like it, how could I not like it?"

Chu Junting chuckled, "We have received Miss Gu's wishes."

Just then, Song Zhiyu passed by and, looking at the Guanyin statue, exclaimed in amazement, "Cousin, you and Aunt really have a telepathic connection! You both sent us Guanyin statues that grant children!"

Gu Huan'er: "???"

"My mother came? Why did she bring the same gift as me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. No wonder they were mother and daughter; their thoughts were so similar.

After learning that Chu Junting had arrived, Song Lin invited him and Chu Yungui to go to the front hall for drinks. There were quite a few guests today, so they could have a good chat.

Song Ruozhen and the other girls gathered together, and coincidentally, Meng Qin also came to give a congratulatory gift on the same day.

"I was so excited when I heard the news. I went to my hometown with my mother a while ago and just got back."

The gift was a bit rushed, so I just gave a large red envelope.

Meng Qin was a little embarrassed, "Ruozhen, please don't dislike me!"

"How could that be?" Song Ruozhen quickly replied, "I'm so glad you could come."

Meng Qin chuckled, "I knew you were the best person. I'll think about it carefully when I get back, and I'll send you a wedding gift when you get married!"

"No need to spend money, your huge red envelope today has already scared everyone away."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing in the room, Song Ruozhen noticed that Yun Nianchu was absent-minded and couldn't help but say:

"Nianchu, what's wrong? Is it because of Young Master Yun?"

Recently, Nianchu has nothing else to worry about. What has been troubling her the most is her relationship with Yun Chengze.

However, she heard that Yun Chengze hadn't returned for a while since he went to see a play with Luo Huaili last time, and now it seems... there might be some new developments.

Yun Nianchu glanced at Meng Qin and Gu Huan'er behind her. The two were talking about the interesting things that happened when Meng Qin went back to her hometown and hadn't noticed them. Then she spoke up:

"On the day of the lantern festival, my cousin got drunk and took me aside..."

Yun Nianchu felt a little embarrassed; she had never seen her cousin like that before.

Her cousin had always been gentle, kind, and self-disciplined in front of her, but this time, he kissed her without saying a word.

At that moment, her mind went blank, and she even felt a moment of shame and indignation, thinking that her cousin had mistaken her for someone else.

When she heard him repeatedly calling her name and saw a tear welling up in his eyes, her feelings became extremely complicated.

Later, she helped her cousin into the house and heard him murmuring in his sleep, softly calling her name.

As she was leaving, she accidentally bumped into a book on his desk. When she picked it up, she suddenly discovered a portrait of herself hidden inside.

The drawing on it clearly shows what she was wearing on the day she went to listen to the storyteller.

She opened the desk drawer and was shocked to find a thick stack of portraits of herself inside.

Not only her current works, but also her past works, were all made by her cousin.

Thinking back, she did go to her cousin's house when she was little, and after she fell in love, she liked to go to her cousin even more.

But one day, her cousin told her very seriously that she was a grown woman and could not enter a man's room casually, so she rarely went in after that.

But it was only after seeing those countless portraits that she finally understood why her cousin wouldn't let her into the house.

Because there are many things in his house that he can't let her know...

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. Judging from Yun Nianchu's expression, it was not hard to imagine how shocked she was when she saw all that.

"Ruozhen, I really don't know how to express my complicated feelings."

"So it turns out... it wasn't just wishful thinking on my part all along."

“I also saw the little things I’ve given him over the years in his cabinet, including the little things I gave him when I first expressed my feelings for him years ago. He kept them all carefully.”

Even... there were even earlier ones.

There wasn't a speck of dust on it. Some things were worn out and had even been patched up...

She didn't sleep a wink all night.

Scenes from these past years kept flashing through her mind, and she seemed to understand her cousin's thoughts over the years.

“He had told me before that he had something he wanted to tell me after he went to high school.”

"However, he never mentioned this to me after high school. I think it's because his mother got divorced. Now I want to... tell my mother directly."

Yun Nianchu looked at Song Ruozhen seriously. This matter couldn't be kept hidden forever; it had to be resolved eventually.

They didn't have time to waste any longer. No matter how things turned out, she didn't want to hide it anymore.

She's tried so many times, and she wouldn't mind trying one more time.

Perhaps years ago, she should have told her mother directly: if Yun Xiwan could marry her cousin, why couldn't she?

Song Ruozhen listened to Yun Nianchu's words and saw the determination in her eyes, so she nodded.

"A swift and decisive approach is a viable solution. The problem is that you two are too hesitant with each other. If you had been more open and honest with each other earlier, the issue might have been resolved much sooner."

From the moment she learned about this, she felt that many things didn't need to be so complicated.

Unfortunately, people are different, and their personalities are different too.

She didn't hesitate or waver much; knowing things were going wrong, she pulled back from the brink, because she couldn't afford to make another mistake.

Life actually has a high margin for error; there is a solution to every problem. Hesitation and indecision often do not solve problems at all, but only increase troubles.

"Ruozhen, you support me?" Yun Nianchu's eyes lit up as she asked.
