Chapter 158: Gentleness (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Xingyun poured himself a cup of tea. “If you meet a girl you really like in the future, you won’t say such things.”

Gu Yu did not think much of it. “I won’t be so sad over a girl. It’s better to be alone.”

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was a little cold, or perhaps it was because the liveliness downstairs was in stark contrast to the loneliness upstairs, Gu Yu took the initiative to change the topic. “Isn’t the Second Prince of Daqing coming soon? Logically speaking, you should be too busy to get out now. Why are you here?”

Gu Yu lived in the palace to begin with. The news that the Emperor was going to welcome the envoy of Daqing had spread throughout the capital. Many princes and princesses were discussing this matter. As the Empress’ physician, he often visited the harem and had also heard a lot of news.

Hence, Xie Xingyun was not surprised and did not hide it from him. “I’m on a bath break. I came out to buy chestnut cakes.”Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update

Great, it was back to square one again.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows. “The ones you gave Bai Xianyu just now?”

“Yeah.”

“Then the two of you are quite destined, meeting each other even during a short break.” Gu Yu thought for two seconds and said, “I don’t have much experience in wooing girls, but it’s definitely right to give her food, clothes, and what she likes.”

After saying that, he patted Xie Xingyun’s shoulder. “You can definitely do it.”

“She doesn’t lack food and clothes. Everything she likes is in her storeroom.” Xie Xingyun waved his hand away.

She did not lack anything.

The only special thing he could give her was his love.

“I don’t want them.”

Ji Shuang was puzzled. “Don’t you like this very much?”

This time, Bai Xianyu seemed to be looking at a location, but she quickly looked away as if her gaze had never stopped there.

She changed her words, “I don’t need them anymore.”

Xie Xingyun resisted the urge to look at her, but when he saw the young girl’s slender and delicate figure walking down the stairs from the corner of his eye, his gaze still passed over Gu Yu’s head.

Xie Xingyun only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see her back view.

At this moment, the waiter appeared outside the curtain. He bowed to Xiao Zheng uneasily and said in a panic and hesitation,

“Young Marquis, just now, you asked me to send chestnut cakes to that girl in white, but after a while, she asked for another plate. But earlier, you had asked me to send everything to them, so 1 didn’t agree for a moment… This might have made that girl angry, but I didn’t deliberately make her leave in anger. Please be magnanimous, Young Marquis…”

She was so angry that she did not even want the original ones. There was still a large plate of leftovers.

He had seen this guest when he showed up just now. He did not expect him to be such a noble person!

After realizing that the girl had left, he did not dare to be negligent at all and hurriedly rushed over to apologize.

Xie Xingyun was stunned, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, it was a little bright. “She said she still wants to eat?”

“Yes.”

Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly as he twirled the brocade pouch.

Gu Yu could not help but laugh. “You’re happy just like that? She doesn’t even know it’s you.. I wonder why you’re so happy?”
