Chapter Forty-six: Why Come Back So Early?

"I want to eat barbecue," Leng Shuang suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu with bright eyes.

"Okay!" Gu Tingyu said dotingly.

Leng Shuang jumped up happily. She put her arms around Gu Tingyu's waist and buried her face on Gu Tingyu's chest.

At this moment, Leng Shuang suddenly felt that she was the luckiest girl in the world. Being able to meet such a man, even if he could not stay with her forever, at least he could have this warm happiness.

She also hopes that she can be with Gu Tingyu for a long time.

Although she had no experience in dating, she knew that she liked this man.

After the two of them finished their meal, they returned to the inn. When Gu Tingyu sent Leng Shuang into the house, Leng Shuang suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said softly, "Brother Tingyu, can you promise me something?"

"

"What?" Gu Tingyu looked down at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Let's not tell our family about us for the time being," Leng Shuang said, lowering her head.

"I'm afraid this won't work," Gu Tingyu said.

"Why?" Leng Shuang asked.

"Because your father has agreed for us to be together." Gu Tingyu said.

"Ah?" Leng Shuang looked at him in shock.

Gu Tingyu touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, I will explain it to your father."

"Okay!" Leng Shuang nodded.

Gu Tingyu pushed Leng Shuang away and said, "I'll go out first and I'll be back in the evening."

With that said, he walked out. Leng Shuang stood in front of the window, looking at the peach forest in the distance. The breeze blew slowly, blowing across Leng Shuang's white face, and a smile appeared on her face.

——

Gu Tingyu rode his horse slowly out of the city. This county was not big, but it was also very lively. The streets were full of people and there were all kinds of hawking sounds.

When Gu Tingyu's horse reached a corner, it suddenly stopped. His eyes were locked on the alley. For a moment, his whole body froze and his breathing became rapid.

He slowly walked towards the alley. All the lanterns in the alley had been extinguished, except for a small lantern hanging on the wall that gave off an orange light.

Gu Tingyu walked to the wall. He raised his hand and touched a portrait hanging on the wall. In the portrait, there was a girl. The girl was wearing a white gauze skirt, with light makeup on her face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, making her look very special.

sweet.

The girl in this portrait is Leng Shuang, and on the upper left side of the portrait is a line of beautiful small letters: "My beloved Shuang'er".

Gu Tingyu's hands slowly tightened, he clenched his fists, and veins popped out on his forehead.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Tingyu suddenly heard a charming female voice from behind.

Leng Shuang hugged Gu Tingyu from behind, "Brother Tingyu, let's go back," her cheek was pressed against Gu Tingyu's back, her voice was gentle and sweet.

"Okay." Gu Tingyu responded, and the two of them led the horses and headed towards the prince's mansion.

Go.

It was late at night, and Gu Tingyu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. There was always a cold feeling in his head. It was already early in the morning, but he couldn't fall asleep, so he put on his clothes and got up, intending to drink a glass of water.

There was a pot of herbal tea on the table. He picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp.

He looked at himself in the mirror. The person in the mirror had a handsome and handsome face, with exquisite three-dimensional facial features, a straight nose, bright red lips, and a pair of narrow and charming eyes. He pursed his thin lips and looked at the bronze mirror with a serious expression.

Gu Tingyu put down the bronze mirror, his eyebrows slightly twisted, he picked up a bottle of wine from the cabinet, opened the bottle cap and took a sip. The strong wine went down his throat, burning his throat, and a fishy smell spread.

to his throat.

Gu Tingyu leaned on the chair with his eyes closed. He felt that his consciousness was getting blurry and his eyelids were extremely heavy. Finally, he fainted next to the table.

When he wakes up, he

He opened his eyes and found himself in a carriage. He looked at the surrounding scene and found that he was in a luxurious carriage.

He sat up and rubbed his eyebrows, and found that he had a splitting headache. What was going on? Was he drunk?

No, his drinking capacity is very good. Even if a group of men fight with him, he will not get drunk. But why can't he remember what happened last night?

Could it be that he was dreaming?

He shook his head and tried hard to recall what happened last night. He was indeed drunk, and it seemed that Leng Shuang helped him leave later.

But why did Leng Shuang appear here?

This doubt was quickly abandoned. He opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. He found that he seemed to have arrived in the capital.

He frowned and thought for a while, then realized that he had arrived at the door of Gu's mansion.

He turned around and knocked on the wooden board of the carriage, but the partitions of the carriage were too thick and he couldn't hear what was said inside.

He shouted, "Who is it?"

"It's me, I want to visit your master." He said in a low voice.

The person inside was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Please wait a moment."

After a while, a woman ran out. She glanced at the carriage and said, "What do you want from my master?"

"I came to see him for something," his voice was low and hoarse, "Please let me know."

Although Gu Tingyu's tone was calm, he was a little flustered in his heart. He didn't expect that he would dream about Leng Shuang, and he didn't expect that he would dream about her.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'm going to report it to my master now." The woman said and went straight to Mr. Gu's yard.

After a while, there were footsteps, and he heard Mr. Gu say, "Take this young master to the living room and wait while I change my clothes."

"Yes." After the woman said that, she led Gu Tingyu towards the living room.

At this time, Mr. Gu had just finished washing and was about to go to the living room.

He was wearing a purple brocade robe, his hair was tied back with a hosta, and his expression was as cold as ice.

"Father," Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and said respectfully to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu glanced at Gu Tingyu and said, "Tingyu, are you back?"

"Well," Gu Tingyu nodded, "Father, I want to discuss things with you about our Gu family's business."

"What do you want to say?" Mr. Gu's voice was low.

"It's about my marriage," Gu Tingyu said.

Mr. Gu's eyes fell on Gu Tingyu, with a searching look in his eyes. After a while, he said, "You can decide this matter yourself. Your parents have ordered the matchmaker to say that if you don't want to marry, why don't you marry me?"

Father will never force you."

There was a kind of helplessness in Mr. Gu's words.

"Father..." Gu Tingyu was about to say something, but Master Gu interrupted him.

Mr. Gu sighed softly and said, "You are not young anymore. It is time to consider your own marriage. In this case, which girl you choose, your father will respect your wishes. You can make your own decision."

"I understand." Gu Tingyu nodded.

Gu Tingyu waited in the living room for a long time before he saw Master Gu walking in slowly. Master Gu was startled when he saw Gu Tingyu. He did not expect that Gu Tingyu would come back so early today.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Master Gu asked.

"I just came back and happened to meet Leng Shuang. She said she sent me back," Gu Tingyu replied.

"Oh," Mr. Gu responded and said, "Where is Leng Shuang? Where is she?"

"She is resting in her room. I have placed her in the guest room. I want to talk to my father alone."

"Okay, let's go to the study." Mr. Gu said and walked towards the study first.

Gu Tingyu followed Mr. Gu into the study.

Mr. Gu is behind the desk

Sitting down next to him, Gu Tingyu also sat down next.

"Tingyu, do you have any plans in the past few days?" Mr. Gu suddenly asked.

Gu Tingyu raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Gu, his eyes flashed with perseverance, "I plan to go to the frontier to practice in three days."

Mr. Gu nodded and said, "Go ahead. The return date for this experience has not yet been determined. Please pay attention to your own safety."

"Okay, I understand," Gu Tingyu said, "Father, I'm going back first."

After he finished speaking, he stood up.

"Wait a minute," Mr. Gu stopped him, "this thing is for you."

Mr. Gu handed the envelope in his hand to Gu Tingyu.

Gu Tingyu reached out suspiciously, opened the envelope and looked at it, only to see familiar handwriting on the letter paper.

Gu Tingyu smiled, folded the letter and put it in his arms.

"Thank you, father." There was a hint of excitement in Gu Tingyu's tone.

Mr. Gu waved his hand and said, "It is the Gu family's luck and blessing that people like you can appear in our Gu family. You go ahead and be careful on the road." Gu Tingyu cupped his hands and withdrew.

Gu Tingyu was not in a hurry to return to his house. He came to the eldest lady's house. When the eldest lady saw Gu Tingyu, she said happily, "I'm telling you, Tingyu, you will definitely come back."

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Mom, I have something to ask you."

"What's going on? Just tell me."

"Dad has agreed to my marriage to Leng Shuang," Gu Tingyu said in a calm voice, "Dad also said that I will go to the frontier for training in three days. I wonder if mother can help me with it. I need a

The guard will go with me,"

"Are you going to the frontier?" the eldest lady asked in surprise.

"Well, I'm going to practice," Gu Tingyu said.

The eldest lady was silent for a while, "Okay, I will help you handle it," she said, then waved her hand to signal Gu Tingyu to leave.

The next day, the eldest lady sent someone to call Gu Tingyu over.

When Gu Tingyu arrived at the eldest lady's yard, Leng Shuang was already waiting there. When she saw Gu Tingyu, she hurriedly greeted him.

"You're here?"

"Yeah." Gu Tingyu nodded, his expression gentle, as if he had forgotten the cold frost yesterday.

Leng Shuang looked at his gentle look and her heart trembled slightly, "Master, I have packed your things." She lowered her head to cover up the look in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "I

I will protect you."
