Chapter 224: Ambiguity
When she returned to the house, the first thing Ye Qinglan did was to tie the door bolt, and then climbed into bed lightly. Gu Xiyu slept sweetly on her side, not knowing that Ye Qinglan had gone and returned.
Ye Qinglan pulled the thin silk quilt and put her head into the light and soft silk quilt. It was only at this moment that the pounding heart calmed down a little. It was such a shame just now. She actually escaped because of a sentence that was not a **......
Although she didn't want to admit it, the subtle ambiguity between her and Gu Xinian was undoubted.
When did it start that there was a strange magnetic field between her and him?
In the dark, Ye Qinglan only felt that her cheeks were slightly hot. And then secretly smacked himself, it was really useless. People just show a little interest, and they don't know what to say. Perhaps, he was just drunk for a while, so he was not the same as usual. Don't be sentimental here.
With Shen Qiuyu, his first love, even a woman like Luo Miaoyin, who is full of poetry and books, can't move his heart, let alone his young and immature self?
So, stop thinking about it. Get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll find that every qiΔ is all hallucinations. Ye Qinglan silently repeated several times in her heart, tossing and turning for a long time, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
Then, she had a dream.
In her dream, a slender and graceful figure walked towards her from far to near. She tried to open her eyes to see the other person clearly, but there was a thick fog in front of her that blocked the man's face, and she couldn't see anything clearly. I only heard an elegant and pleasant voice sounding gently: "Cousin Lan......"
A hand patted her on the shoulder.
She woke up and opened her eyes, and Gu Xiyu's familiar pretty face came into her eyes: "It's dawn, why are you still sleeping?" Didn't you sleep well last night? β
Ye Qinglan's startled heart slowly returned to its place, squeezed out a smile and said, "Well, I slept late yesterday." So saying, he got up and dressed.
Gu Xiyu had already packed up neatly. Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for Ye Qinglan to dress and dress, she said casually: "By the way, did the eldest brother come last night?" β
Ye Qinglan's movements in her hands paused slightly, and then she continued to dress casually: "I did come here." However, when I saw that you were asleep, I went away again. You slept so heavily at the time, how did you know that Cousin Gu had been here? β
Gu Xiyu didn't notice Ye Qinglan's strange appearance for a moment, and responded with a smile: "The maid guarding the door told sΓΉ Moxiang." Mo Xiang came to sue me again. Big brother came to me, but you didn't call me. β
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile: "You slept soundly at the time, where am I willing to wake you up." Quickly opened the topic: "Cousin Xiyu, come and take a look for me." Which silk flower is better? β
Gu Xiyu's attention was really attracted, and this dangerous topic finally came to an end for the time being.
When she arrived at Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qinglan seemed to be calm and composed. In fact, a heart has already been raised to the throat - don't ask her why she is cramped and uneasy. She didn't want to answer that kind of question.
Seeing the three of them coming, Zheng said angrily: "Why did you come so late, Yuan Wei and Xi Nian just left. β
Let's go? That's great! Ye Qinglan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face was naturally much more.
After being alone last night, she really didn't know what kind of attitude to use to face Gu Xinian. Avoiding it is the best option. After a few days, this kind of embarrassment and panic passed, and as soon as QiΔ naturally returned to its original state. Absolutely!
It followed for several days. Gu Xinian did not appear again.
Ye Qinglan was relieved, but there was a trace of unspeakable chagrin in her heart. In short, it is difficult to describe all kinds of tastes. Gu Xiyu, who didn't know anything about Yiqi, often mentioned Gu Xinian: "Big brother must be angry with me, and he hasn't come to see me for so long." β
Ye Qinglan comforted casually: "Cousin Gu must be busy with official business, so he has no time to come to see you." Maybe I'll pick you up in two days. "At that time, I said that I would go back after half a month, and after a rough calculation, it has been more than ten days.
As soon as Gu Xiyu heard that she was going back to such a topic, she was usually sullen for a while. How good it is to live in Changyuan Bo's Mansion, go in and out with Cousin Lan every day, read and paint or learn from Girl Red to do needlework, and it is much more interesting to have someone to accompany you. When I go back, I have to be alone every day......
Just thinking about it, Jade hurriedly walked over: "Miss, we came to the house to pick you up in a carriage to take you back." β
What the? Gu Xiyu glanced at Ye Qinglan at a loss. That's coming too fast! Just mentioned it, why did it really come?
Ye Qinglan suppressed the restlessness in her heart, and asked with a seemingly casual smile: "Is Cousin Gu here too?" "I hope he is busy with court affairs and has no time to pick up Gu Xiyu. She wouldn't have to see him again.
It's a pity that Jade immediately smiled and nodded: "The son has already arrived at the Luomei Courtyard, and the winter goose specially came to tell him and asked the two young ladies to go over together." The slave and the maid and the others went to gather up and salute. I'll be able to go back after lunch. β
Gu Xiyu replied unhappily.
Ye Qinglan cheered up and comforted Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, you can go back with Cousin Gu with peace of mind." If you miss me in the future, you can just come back as a guest. β
Gu Xiyu thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Will you come to the Dingguo Mansion again in the future?" β
β¦β¦
That's a really hard question to answer. When she left the Dingguo Mansion in a rage that day, she put down her arrogance and would never step into the Dingguo Mansion again. But now, the gas has long since disappeared. Isn't it true that I will never go again? But if she went, she would have to face the situation of being under the same roof with Gu Xinian every day, and she didn't want to face Gu Xinian every day......
Gu Xiyu saw that Ye Qinglan refused to answer this question, and a deep disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan was ruthless, so she should turn a blind eye. As long as she lives in Changyuanbo's mansion, there will be very few opportunities to contact Gu Xinian. As long as you stay away from Gu Xinian, naturally nothing will happen.
After Ye Qingning got the news, he went to Luomei Courtyard with the two.
The closer she got to the main hall, the faster Ye Qinglan's heart was beating. Her uncharacteristically silent provoked Ye Qingning's strange glance: "Tenth sister, what's wrong with you today, why haven't you spoken all the time?" β
Ye Qinglan replied calmly: "Cousin Xiyu is leaving, I am reluctant, where is I still in the mood to speak." β
Ye Qingning was not suspicious, and sighed in agreement: "Yes, the three of them talk and laugh together every day." Without my cousin Xiyu, I don't feel used to it! When Gu Xiyu first came, Ye Qingning really always looked at her a little unpleasantly. can get along for a long time, but I feel that Gu Xiyu, who is silent and soft, also has cuteness. She's leaving, and she's really reluctant.
Gu Xiyu was told by the two of them, and her eyes suddenly burst into tears.
Ye Qingning was the first to enter the main hall, Gu Xiyu followed, and Ye Qinglan deliberately slowed down and walked last. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man in a plain satin robe, but he didn't come over to say hello.
Anyway, there are so many people, she won't be too eye-catching if she's lazy!
"Big brother," Gu Xiyu obediently stepped forward and shouted.
Gu Xinian smiled at the corner of his lips, and his eyes softened: "Yu'er, you have lived here for so long, and you have caused a lot of trouble to your aunt. Now I'm leaving, but I have to thank my aunt. β
Gu Xiyu obediently walked up to Zheng and thanked him.
After worrying about it for so many days, he finally handed over Gu Xiyu to Gu Xinian peacefully. Zheng was very relieved, but said with a smile: "Okay, okay, what are you doing with your aunt so politely." In the future, if a person is bored, he will come to our house at any time as a guest. Stay as long as you want. β
"Really?" Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up suddenly: "Then I'll come back in a few days." β
Zheng: "......"
Everyone: "......"
Gu Xinian smiled and relieved the siege for the Zheng family: "Yu'er, don't mess around. You have been out for so long, your grandfather and grandmother, as well as your father and mother miss you very much, and if you want to go out of the house again, you will have to wait at least until the New Year. β
Wouldn't that be a long, long wait? Gu Xiyu's face suddenly stepped down, like a frosted eggplant.
If it was in normal times, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but step forward to appease a few words. Can be ...... today Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xinian without a trace, and made up her mind not to move forward.
Gu Xinian seemed to be careless, but he had actually been paying attention to Ye Qinglan's every move. Seeing that she was not looking at herself right when she looked east and west, Gu Xinian's eyes suddenly darkened.
Want to avoid him? It depends on whether he agrees or not.
Gu Xinian got up with a smile and walked over, his demeanor was elegant and calm, and his words were gentle and polite: "These days, Cousin Lauland has taken care of Yu'er. β
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and respond dryly: "Cousin Gu is too polite, this is my business." β
"Cousin Lan didn't talk to me just now, shouldn't she be angry with me because of what happened before!" The apology in Gu Xinian's eyes was just right, one more point would be too fake, and one less point would be insincere.
Ye Qinglan knew that he was pretending in front of everyone, so she could only respond with a smile: "No, I don't care about some small things for a long time." β
This remark was right in Gu Xinian's heart, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh? That's great. In that case, Cousin Lan will definitely not refuse my invitation. When Cousin Lan is free, I will have someone pick you up and live in the Dingguo Mansion for a few days. β
β¦β¦
It's so treacherous! He was sure that she wanted to maintain a gentle and generous image in front of everyone, and he would never show her true face and true temperament lightly, so he deliberately said this in front of everyone.
Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred in her heart, but there was a gentle and lovely quiet smile on her face: "Thank you Cousin Gu for your kind invitation." However, I've been studying female popularity lately, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to spare. β
