Chapter 561 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
The lights are on, and night falls.
In Shaoguang Courtyard, the lanterns outside were lit up, and the wind blew, swaying, as if bringing someone's thoughts.
Sheng Huan became more and more anxious, and his eyes kept looking towards the door.
She didn't say anything, but the two servants in the room saw what she did.
Just at this moment, Nanny You came in from outside. Sheng Huan's eyes lit up, but in a flash, he became depressed again when he saw that it was not the person he had been expecting to come back.
Seeing this, Nanny You sighed inwardly, but she stepped forward with a smile on her face, bowed and said, "Second Madam, there is news from the front yard, saying that the Second Master is back and should be here soon."
"Really?" She was visibly happy.
"Of course I take it seriously." Nanny You smiled and comforted her: "Second Madam, you have to take care of yourself. If you get sick, Second Master will be very distressed."
"Yes." The woman nodded: "I will, Mammy."
Nanny You smiled slightly and told the two maids beside her: "Serve the Second Madam well and don't let her get tired."
Siyun and Shihua nodded, understanding some of the meaning behind it.
Nanny You then bowed to Sheng Huan again and said, "Second Madam, I will go out and see if the Second Master has come."
The Marquis has to act like the Second Master now. There are some things about Shaoguang Courtyard that the Marquis has to know.
"Madam, please go quickly." Sheng Huan's voice carried a hint of cheerful anticipation.
After Nanny You left, Sheng Huan, knowing that her husband would be back soon, rarely spoke to Siyun Shihua.
After a while, she heard some noise at the door. She immediately looked over there, and when she saw who was coming, her eyes instantly curved into crescents.
"Husband!"
Gu Hengqing's clear eyes were rippling in the light and shadows. The woman's smiling face came into his eyes, soft and full of vitality, like a lotus growing brightly under the scorching sun. She was no longer the fragile person who seemed to be dying yesterday.
Her smile brightens the room.
Gu Hengqing was slightly stunned because of that joy.
The woman who was half leaning on the bed saw that he didn't move, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. She blinked at him, and her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembled nervously.
"...husband?"
On Gu Hengqing's side, Nanny You was afraid that her second wife would find out, so she quickly lowered her voice.
"Second Master."
Siyun and Shihua also looked at him nervously.
Gu Hengqing moved his fingertips slightly and walked over. He leaned over and looked at the woman with warm eyes. There seemed to be something deeper hidden in the warmth. He tucked the corner of the quilt for the woman and spoke softly.
"Are you feeling better? Is there anything that still hurts?"
"No." Seeing his familiar smile, she also smiled.
Gu Hengqing lowered his eyes. The woman's smile was really soft, and in that softness, there was also love for... Chongguang.
"I just heard from the housekeeper that He Wei has no appetite."
She held his hand, and instead of denying it, she nodded pitifully, and rubbed her head in front of him: "A little bit."
Gu Hengqing's heart skipped a beat. They were too close. The unique scent of the woman had already invaded his nose. He could still ignore her danger yesterday, but today...
The man lowered his eyes and took out an oil-paper bag from his arms.
"I brought some snacks for He Wei. I asked the doctor if you can eat them."
He didn't know why, but when he came back today, he went to a pastry shop for some unknown reason and bought things that he would never have bought before.
"Ah." The woman smiled, and pinched the man's cheek with her slender white fingers: "My husband is so nice! He brought me delicious food again."
Seeing that she was happy, Gu Hengqing's lips curled up, but the next moment, when the woman's fingers came over and touched his cheek, the man's dark eyes suddenly became deep. He stared at the woman's smiling face without blinking. The smile at the corner of his lips, which was exactly the same as his brother's, was tense for a moment, and his cheeks were unconsciously hot.
He almost, even... retreated in embarrassment, but when he heard the second half of the woman's words, all the rising charm was washed away like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
The three servants who had been waiting quietly had already retreated quietly, so no one noticed his abnormality.
"Well, eat more if you like." Gu Heng cleared his throat and forced himself to regain clarity, but he himself didn't know if he had noticed it. He never broke free from her hand. The man said:
"Next time, I will buy it again."
"it is good."
The oil paper package was opened, and the snack inside was still hot. She picked up a piece and ate it. After a few bites, she handed it to the man's lips.
"Husband, try it, it's really delicious!"
Looking back at the snack that was handed to his lips, Hui Hengqing was slightly distracted. Is this how she usually gets along with Chongguang? He didn't know why his heart felt heavy and bitter, but in her starry eyes, he still took a bite.
"Is it delicious?" she asked him.
"It's delicious." The man nodded with difficulty.
This bite of pastry has many flavors, sweet and... astringent. I don't know if it's an illusion.
Although the woman had a good appetite, she couldn't eat any more after eating three pieces.
"I'm stuffed."
"Drink some water to moisten your skin." Gu Hengqing considerately poured some water over.
Sheng Huan took it and drank it, then snuggled comfortably into the man's arms.
"Husband, have you seen the babies?"
She stretched out her hand to the man. Gu Hengqing was holding her. Seeing this, he understood and took a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
"I've seen it, and it looks very similar to He Wei."
This small ball makes people happy just by looking at it. Gu Hengqing never knew before that he actually liked children.
"It looks a lot like my husband, too." She looked back at him and said mischievously, "The babies have been born for almost a day. My husband, have you thought of a name for the baby? Don't be lazy."
Gu Hengqing unconsciously clenched Sheng Huan's hand.
She looked at him.
The man thought of something, his heart became solemn, but he smiled and said: "Let's take it together."
"Ah?" She pinched his face again, looking angry: "My husband really didn't name the child yet, you're so lazy!"
Of course the man was not angry. Instead, he felt that the woman was very angry at the moment.
"I have one..." Thinking of the name Ling Bei mentioned, he made a secretive expression.
"What? Tell me quickly." She opened her eyes wide in anticipation.
"Mu He." The man's voice was solemn. When he looked at her, he couldn't help but reveal a different color in his eyes: "Gu Mu He."
This is the name Chongguang gave it. It is his implicit way of expressing his feelings. No, it is not implicit, but open and aboveboard.
But no one knows whether Gu Hengqing has any other feelings besides these three words when he says them.
The woman was listening attentively. The moment she heard the name unexpectedly, her face suddenly turned red. The red blush spread over her entire fair face, making her like a fairy in the clouds. Her eyes moved with a hint of coquettish shyness.
"Hmm... sounds good."
The woman bit her teeth and muttered, "It really sounds nice."
She was obviously very happy too.
Gu Hengqing looked at her smiling face, feeling happy yet sad, as if a bottle of seasoning had been overturned in his heart, with mixed feelings.
At this moment, she was lying on the man's chest, and the look in her eyes when she looked up made the man dare not look her in the face.
Finally, Gu Hengqing did something that even shocked himself. He pressed the woman's smiling face into his chest.
She thought he was playing a joke on her, so she just laughed into his chest, and even rubbed her furry head against the man's chin in a funny way.
