Chapter 22 My First Kiss Is Gone
Gu Peiyan asked Qian Rong to bring her nothing other than a bowl of rich ginger soup.
In Wei Dongning's eyes, it was comparable to the bowl of dark, bubbling soup that the witch was holding.
Even when she wasn't very close, she could smell the distinctive spiciness of ginger.
Gu Peiyan took the bowl from Qian Rong and handed it to Wei Dongning: "Drink it quickly, it will warm you up."
Wei Dongning's mind was immediately filled with images of every witch from the cartoons she watched as a child.
Then they all changed to look like Gu Peiyan.
Accompanying this was the villain's signature "hehehe" laughter.
Wei Dongning pinched her nose and kept backing away.
They wanted to avoid this bowl of "poison".
However, the room was only so big, so even if she wanted to hide, there was nowhere to hide.
If there's a pillar in the room, Wei Dongning will recreate for him what it means to "circle the pillar around Qin King" (a famous Chinese idiom referring to a king circling a pillar).
"I really didn't catch a cold today!"
"Drinking it can also warm your stomach. The doctor also mentioned today that you have a cold constitution."
Wei Dongning thought of the diagnosis she received at the clinic, closed her eyes, and steeled her resolve.
"We agreed that husband and wife are one, so you drink it for me. If you drink it, it means I've drunk it too."
Xiao Fu listened in stunned silence.
She never imagined that things could be resolved in this way.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems to make some sense, doesn't it?
Gu Peiyan was amused by her twisted logic and decided to back down: "How about this, I'll have Qianrong bring another bowl, and I'll drink it with you."
"No need, that's too much trouble. We'll just share this bowl."
Wei Dongning began to praise herself in her heart; she was truly a genius.
They actually came up with such a brilliant solution.
If he agrees, then she should drink first.
No matter how much she drank, she insisted that she had only drunk half.
Time slipped away as the two confronted each other, and the ginger soup gradually cooled in Gu Peiyan's hands.
Gu Peiyan had no choice but to compromise and handed the bowl back to her: "Drink it."
Wei Dongning took the soup bowl and held it to her lips, suppressing the smile that was curving her lips.
The plan succeeded.
After taking a few sips, Wei Dongning pushed the soup bowl back: "It's your turn."
"it is good."
Looking at the bowl of ginger soup that was mostly left, Gu Peiyan picked it up and drank it without complaint.
Wei Dongning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he hadn't exposed her.
Before he could even finish exhaling, a huge face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, their lips were covered by warmth.
"Well."
Forced to drink another large mouthful of ginger soup, Wei Dongning forcefully pushed Gu Peiyan away, covering her mouth and accusing her, "You ambushed me!"
"All warfare is based on deception. You broke the agreement first."
"I...you...you win."
Wei Dongning's cheeks flushed as she rummaged through the pile of toys Xiao Fu had bought for her last time and pulled out a nine-linked ring.
He bent down and carefully fiddled with it.
Her first kiss!
Her first kiss, which she had guarded for two lifetimes, was stolen away so tenderly.
And in such an unromantic setting.
Waaaaah, who can understand the sadness in her heart right now?
Only the abs of a 188cm tall, dark-skinned physique can be cured.
Gu Peiyan's earlobes were also bright red.
This was the first time in his limited twenty years that he had acted so recklessly.
In the past, let alone any intimate contact with other members of the opposite sex, even communication was extremely rare.
An eerie silence fell over the room.
Qianrong, who was always talkative, looked left and right, only to find that his young master and young mistress had no intention of speaking first.
She tugged at Xiao Fu's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Sister Xiao Fu, don't you think the atmosphere between them is a bit strange?"
Xiao Fu glanced at him and reached out to ruffle his hair: "You're still young. You'll understand when you're a little older."
Single people will never understand the ambiguous atmosphere between couples.
"I'm seventeen this year too!" Qianrong muttered discontentedly.
He's two years older than the young mistress, so why does Sister Xiaofu dislike him like this?
"You'll understand when you get married."
"Ah." Qianrong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became a little shy: "I, I haven't saved enough money to get married yet."
They weren't speaking loudly, but Wei Dongning could hear them clearly.
He kept fiddling with the nine-linked rings in his hands, but his attention was entirely focused on their conversation.
Xiao Fu was also very curious, so she leaned closer to Qian Rong and asked, "It seems you have a girl you like?"
"Not yet, but it's never a bad thing to save up the money first."
Qianrong blushed shyly, while Xiaofu stared in amazement.
Qianrong continued with anticipation, "I've already thought it all out. Once I've saved enough money, I'll buy a house, marry a lovely wife, and then have a few chubby babies."
Wei Dongning moved next to Gu Peiyan and nudged his waist with her elbow: "Do you know what Qianrong is thinking?"
“I know, I also know that this kid has feelings for Baoxing from Aunt Zhou’s house, but he doesn’t realize it himself.”
"Aunt Zhou? Is she the one who makes desserts in the kitchen?" Wei Dongning searched her memory for this person.
"Ah."
"Quick, quick, tell me what happened."
Gu Peiyan glanced in Qian Rong's direction and leaned close to Wei Dongning's ear.
Just as Wei Dongning thought he was about to tell a story, she heard his flat voice say, "Don't talk about others behind their backs."
Wei Dongning rolled her eyes at him in anger.
If you don't want to say, then don't say.
She talks like she's some kind of gossip!
Just as Wei Dongning was about to move back, Gu Peiyan grabbed her wrist: "I'll tell you privately after they leave."
"This doesn't count as gossiping behind someone's back?"
"It's my way of showing concern for him."
"I think you should change your name."
"Oh?"
"Tomorrow you will change your surname to Chang and your given name to Youli."
Wei Dongning felt that he truly deserved the name "always reasonable".
"Don't make such jokes, Father might get angry if he hears them."
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell, he won't know."
After spending these past few days together, Wei Dongning has come to understand.
Gu Peiyan is a bit old-fashioned, while Gu Song is an old-fashioned old man.
However, this rigidity was limited to his work and his attitude towards Gu Peiyan.
He showed her, his daughter-in-law, full respect.
Even though she was the daughter of his mortal enemy, she was never mistreated because of it.
He also completely handed over the power to manage the household to her, allowing her to arrange all the affairs of the family.
Therefore, if he could know what the two of them were talking about in the room, it could only be that Gu Peiyan herself told him.
Because Wei Dongning had unknowingly solved one of the nine rings, she quickly forgot about it.
Focus intently on how you just solved it.
It wasn't until they went to bed that night, when Wei Dongning, having been given a bellyful of medicine and lying in bed with malt candy in her mouth, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, that she remembered that Gu Peiyan still had a story to tell her.
"Wake up, don't sleep yet!" Wei Dongning shook Gu Peiyan's shoulder: "You haven't told me about Qianrong and Baoxing yet!"
She won't be able to sleep well tonight if she doesn't hear this story.
