Time flies so fast, and it has been three months since Gu Qingyuan arrived at Qin's house.
Qin Lu's body has recovered, but the injuries on her face are still a bit hideous. She almost never leaves the hospital unless necessary.
Even if I have to leave the hospital, I will wear a veil.
Ever since Gu Qingyuan broke up with her, Qin Lu had been indifferent to her and never approached her.
The family who was planning to get engaged to her heard that she had injured her face and would leave scars, but they were very kind and did not back down, and instead accelerated the engagement process.
Instead, he sent me a lot of scar-removing creams collected from various places.
During this time, Qin Lu stayed in the courtyard to prepare her wedding dress.
Looking at the dense stitches on the wedding dress, I bit my lower lip hard.
She tried all her tricks and finally went back to her old ways.
If I had known this, I would have been better off getting engaged to my current fiancé honestly from the beginning.
But who can know what will happen in the future?
If she knew that she would lose her appearance, would there still be that scene in the pavilion?
Qin Lu put down the wedding dress in her hand, looked out the window, and took a rare walk in the garden.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving, she subconsciously walked outside the gate of Gu Qingyuan's courtyard.
Before he even got close, he seemed to see a piece of men's clothing disappearing through the courtyard gate.
The figure was very familiar. Such a tall man was rare in Rencheng, not to mention the Qin family.
She thought of the guard Pei next to Prince Jing.
Is Gu Qingyuan really with that man?
She still couldn't believe it.
How could Gu Qingyuan, a divorced woman, deserve such a good man?
Even if he is a bodyguard, he should be a crooked bodyguard.
Standing under the shadow of a tree not far from the courtyard gate, Guard Pei was not seen coming out for a long time.
Qin Lu's eyes were red, she bit her lip, and raised her hand to knock on the courtyard door.
Gu Qingyuan didn't wake up until nearly noon.
These days, because of the pavilion, Mrs. Qin has spared her granddaughters from greeting her in the morning.
In the past, Pei Jinting would still consider that she had to pay her respects and didn't dare to bother. Since she didn't have to pay her respects, she no longer feels depressed.
By trying to unblock Gu Qingyuan's medicinal properties, she became even more wild.
It was often unbearable for Gu Qingyuan, and the curtains were sometimes torn.
After Gu Qingyuan washed and had her meal, while wiping her fingers with a hot handkerchief, she suddenly remembered the scene where he kissed her fingers one by one last night.
From fingertips to wrists, over and over again.
Her ears suddenly turned red, and she threw the veil into the water. Before she could see the scene, the heavy door opened with a creak.
"Are you awake?" Pei Jinting came back from outside, holding a food box in his hand.
It was the food he brought back from outside.
Gu Qingyuan originally blamed him for going too far last night, but when she saw someone else, she gave him an angry look and sat at the table with her cheeks bulging.
Just as he was about to say he had eaten, he looked up and noticed a slight sweat forming on Pei Jinting's forehead.
"Have you eaten?" She tugged on his sleeve.
An ordinary question, Pei Jinting was about to say it, but the lazy words were stuck in the corner of his mouth.
In Kyoto, they spent more than half a year together, and Gu Qingyuan seemed to have never asked such a question.
During their best days, the two of them never had such words.
His eyes were slightly hot, and he lowered his eyes,
"Just drank some wine."
When Zhao Xiao, the seventh emperor, went on a tour, officials of all sizes in the city were constantly entertaining banquets. He followed beside him, often holding back some wine and the like.
Most of the dishes on the wine table were decorations, and neither Zhao Xiaoqi nor he would move them.
Gu Qingyuan smelled the faint smell of alcohol as early as he came in, and remembered his little quirks in eating.
Open the food box and take out the food inside,
"Let's use some together?"
Pei Jinting pursed his lips, twirled his fingers behind his back, and sat down lazily.
"good."
The two sat opposite each other, as if they were back in the days of Kyoto, eating slowly.
Gu Qingyuan had already used it earlier, so naturally she didn't eat much.
Seeing that most of the food in her bowl was still unused, Pei Jinting took it over politely and started eating with her spoon without any scruples.
The porcelain-white spoon went from her red lips to his thin lips.
The two have been intimate countless times, and this scene still made Gu Qingyuan's face turn red.
Then she thought about how this man had slept on the same bed with her every night since he pretended to be a guard, and their lips and tongues were intertwined.
We are even more intimate than the time before we left.
After finishing the meal, Gu Qingyuan saw that the sweat on his forehead was still wet, and remembered that the sweat was shed just to bring her food.
She asked Shuangwu to fetch water, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Pei Jinting.
"Just wipe it."
Pei Jinting looked at her deeply, his Adam's apple slipped slightly, and he gently rubbed his fingertips.
The corners of his mouth curled up quietly, and he paused for a long time before saying lightly,
"Yeah. Thank you."
But he didn't reach out to take it.
He just unbuttoned his collar and bowed his head slightly.
When Gu Qingyuan saw his actions, she knew that he was cheating and wanted her help.
Shaking off the handkerchief, he put his feet up and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.
As she lowered her head, Pei Jinting's breath hit her cheek, bringing with it vigorous heat.
After wiping his forehead and moving it down to his neck, Pei Jinting pulled the belt around his waist and his clothes fell apart.
"Good boy Yuanyuan. Continue to wipe it clean for me..."
He squeezed her hand holding the handkerchief and put it against his waist. The two of them stood together, as if they were hugging each other, their ears and temples rubbing together.
A light sweat broke out on Gu Qingyuan's forehead.
Before she could help wipe herself, there was a knock on the door outside.
Shuang Wu went over and opened the door, and then saw Qin Lu standing outside.
Hearing Shuangwu talking to people outside, he heard again that it was Qin Lu who was here.
Gu Qingyuan raised her hand and saw Pei Jinting, who was shirtless, pushing into the cleansing room without forgetting the clothes he had taken off.
Pei Jinting was just about to kiss Fangze, but before he could react, the door to the clean room had been closed by Gu Qingyuan.
He leaned against the door and sighed slightly.
This really seems to be stealing the sun.
Gu Qingyuan wiped the messy hair on her temples, straightened her clothes, and opened the door.
"Cousin Lu, what are you doing here?"
Qin Lu slightly curved the corners of her mouth, as if the relationship between them was still the same as before, and the thin veil had not been broken.
She smiled and said to Gu Qingyuan,
"We haven't sat down and talked properly for a long time. I miss Sister Ayuan."
After she finished speaking, she glanced into the room behind Gu Qingyuan.
"Sister Ayuan, I thought I saw someone in your house just now. Did you steal someone behind your grandmother's back?"
She clicked her tongue twice in praise.
Gu Qingyuan had no intention of inviting her into the house to sit.
"You saw it wrong."
Qin Lu understood Gu Qingyuan's tough words.
No matter how good-looking Guard Pei is, he is still a guard after all.
She held Gu Qingyuan's hand,
"Sister Ayuan. I admit that I used to be very jealous of you. You are obviously an orphan girl of unknown origin, but you have become a noble daughter of a high family."
"Now that I think about it, what about the daughter of a noble family? It's not like she just reconciled with her son-in-law."
