Ever since she got engaged to Lu Wenze, Gu Qingyuan has fantasized about her wedding day countless times.
Because of the adoption, except for a few good years under Qin's lap, she grew up like an orphan.
She desperately longs for a complete family, and she even looks forward to a ten-mile red makeup that belongs to her.
But she didn't expect that the wedding she had been looking forward to for many years would become so ridiculous.
She has never been someone who hides behind others when something goes wrong. Without her approval and invitation to make an alliance, Pei Jinting would not have the opportunity he has today.
Therefore, she was willing to come out to see Lu Wenze.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the eager and expectant eyes of the person in front of her and his outstretched hand.
His feet did not move, his eyes looked calmly,
"Master Lu, why are you here?"
The stroke in the hospital stopped.
Lu Wenze's outstretched hand fell into the air, and his heart suddenly stabbed.
Ayuan asked what this meant?
Is it because he didn't pick up the bride in person, so he was robbed by that bitch Pei San?
Embarrass him in front of everyone?
Gu Qingyuan was in front of him, looking up at him with sincerity on her face, waiting for his answer.
Lawrence Lu swallowed his throat gently, turned his head, and after a moment, he finally took another step forward and said hoarsely,
"Thousands of mistakes were made, and they were all my fault. I shocked you today. Those are just trivial matters. Now we can still visit the church before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is over."
"You will have a lifetime to punish me. Don't show off your temper at this moment and make others laugh."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to hold her, but Gu Qingyuan stepped aside to avoid him.
Lu Wenze looked at Gu Qingyuan in disbelief. The person in front of him had skin as white as snow and eyes as dark as jade. This was the image that had always been etched in his mind.
However, at this moment, those eyes lacked the familiar gentleness and kindness.
Gu Qingyuan thought she smiled the most kindly,
"Master Lu is one of the best among men. He is knowledgeable, wise and decisive. He is a mainstay in the court. The Lu family came to propose marriage that day. To tell the truth, it was the first time in more than ten years that I felt so happy."
"Although I am a noble lady, I always feel ashamed of myself because of my special status."
Gu Qingyuan's voice was neither fast nor slow, with a peaceful smile on her face, and her heart felt calmer than ever before.
Lu Wenze responded gently, "Yeah."
As if he thought this was too perfunctory, he joked self-righteously, "From now on, such a good person in your eyes will be your husband. You can see him forever."
Gu Qingyuan showed a dignified smile as usual,
"The Marquis is very good. But I cannot be ignorant and really delay the Marquis. There are many noble girls in Kyoto, and there are countless people who are in love with you. You are more suitable for the Marquis than me."
Lu Wenze did not feel proud of her words of praise. Instead, he noticed something was wrong and frowned.
"Ayuan, what do you want to say? Ayuan, what can I do to calm you down?"
Gu Qingyuan looked at Lu Wenze calmly with kind eyes,
"Master Lu, I want to say that after today, the Marquis will find another good match. It's a pity that I am not a good match for the Marquis."
Gu Qingyuan finished speaking.
The joyful courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Lu Wenze didn't move, his expression didn't change, and his dark eyes stared into hers.
Rather than being shocked, it seemed more like he didn't react.
Gu Qingyuan smiled gently at him,
"Master Hou, I'm sorry, please go back."
Lu Wenze didn’t understand.
I don't know what she was talking about.
After staring at Gu Qingyuan for a long time, a voice came out of her throat, "Ayuan, what do you mean?"
Gu Qingyuan seemed to completely ignore his tolerance and added fuel to the fire.
"Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for coming back, but I won't go with you."
Lu Wenze's eyes slowly darkened, a layer of frost formed on his face, and anger flashed out of his pupils.
He held back in time and turned his head away.
He gave her the steps, so she should know how to go down them.
When did the gentle and graceful Gu Qingyuan become so ignorant of current affairs?
She used to be so well-behaved and sensible, but maybe she fed the dog!
He looked at Gu Qingyuan with eyes that seemed to be warning, but also seemed to be funny.
"A-Yuan, I take it for granted that you are speaking out of anger. Is the important matter of marriage a child's play? A-Yuan, if the quarrel continues, neither the Gu nor the Lu family will look good."
"How about you be more obedient? As long as you calm down and ask me to do anything, I will do it for you."
Who is willing to do what he does for a woman who has been robbed of her bride?
He can already imagine that whenever he goes out in the future, when everyone sees him, they will think of his wife, who was snatched away on their wedding day.
He could endure all this for her, so what else did she want from him?
Gu Qingyuan shook her head and took a step back.
"Master Lu, if you don't understand, let me explain it more clearly. Since you and Gu Yunniang got involved together, and since you went out of the city for Gu Yunniang, we have nothing to do with each other."
No matter what happened to Lu Wenze, she did plot against him, so she also hoped that the two of them could say goodbye decently.
But Lu Wenze obviously didn't want to give her this opportunity.
So why not break that window?
Lu Wenze's eyes were stern, and there was suppressed anger in his voice,
"You are my unmarried wife. We have been together for so many years. I don't care if you are robbed by a bitch. What else do you want?"
Is Gu Qingyuan trying to escape the soul or playing hard to get?
His head was already low enough, what else did she want from him?
"Are you deliberately showing me this attitude? Or are you saying that you cared about me going to see Yun Niang and didn't rush back to welcome the bride?"
"Don't you know that you have been robbed by Pei Jinting? If you don't leave me, who can you marry in the future?"
"If I can't be a wife, why would I still want to be a concubine?"
"If you are sensible, you should know that going back to the church with me to get married is the best choice."
Until now, Lu Wenze still thought she was having trouble, was she kidding?
She looked at Lu Wenze with sarcasm in her eyes, shook her head helplessly, raised the corners of her lips,
"Does Mr. Lu feel that he has suffered a loss? Is it me who begged you to hang out with Yun Niang? Was it I who begged you to come here to pick me up?"
"Why did the Marquis go to the Gu family to propose marriage? Do you think everyone else is a fool? Didn't Marquis Lu get any benefits from this marriage?"
Lu Wenze listened to the harsh words, one word after another, and saw those extremely cold eyes again.
Looking at her in disbelief,
"Gu Qingyuan, do you really not want to go back to worship with me?"
Gu Qingyuan said softly, "What? The Marquis still thinks that I want to get Qiao with you? The Marquis thinks wrong. It is an engagement that involves interests. The Marquis knows it in his heart, and so do I."
"Please, Mr. Marquis, please stop trying to magnify false feelings and expect me to be grateful for what you have done."
The blood on Lu Wenze's face faded, and he stared at her, as if he was angry, but also as if he was betrayed, gritted his teeth and said,
"What? Do you think that because you were robbed by Pei Jinting, he can give you the true love you want?"
"Master Lu is very concerned about my wife." A calm voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
Pei Jinting was dressed in red, with one hand behind his back, walking in the gentle breeze with a smile.
