Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 221 I am pleased with you (one more)
Gu Cuo withdrew his gaze on the finger, "There are not many roads ahead, and there are candles, so I don't think the girl is afraid. In this way, my task is completed... As for the road just now, tomorrow I will arrange for my servants to come and replace it." New candle, I'm sorry for the negligence of the servant."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, "Farewell."

"Ancient House!" Ruoshui called out loudly, clenched his fists tightly, like a drowning man longing for the last piece of driftwood. He didn't know where the courage came from, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and shouted loudly. Said, "I, I am happy with you!"

In the night, the man who turned around to leave opened his eyes slightly because of an accident, and for the first time looked at the little girl in front of him.

The girl who is younger than Ji Wuyan always has a bit of enthusiasm and familiarity that is pretended on weekdays, some are familiar, sometimes clever, sometimes not very clever.

He hesitated to speak a few times before, he didn't seem very courageous, like a rabbit, but if there was any trouble, he would hide in an instant.So today's behavior is surprising.

After Ruoshui finished yelling, he was also surprised by himself—after living for so many years, he never thought that one day he would be able to yell such words shamelessly to a man.She always thought that this kind of thing was probably only done by people like Lily.

With her heart beating like a drum, she vaguely felt that she didn't regret it too much, and was even a little thankful for her courage at this moment.

It's just that all the courage has been used up, and at this moment, he doesn't even dare to open his eyes, his face is blushing and deceiving himself, if, if he turns around and leaves, he will just treat it as a dream...

The ancient house did not leave.

He looked at Ruoshui, who was obviously shocked but still holding on to himself, and sighed slightly, "Girls shouldn't talk about these things."

The voice was infinitely gentle, Ruoshui quietly opened one eye and looked over, the other party had an expression she had never seen before, like helplessness, tolerance, for a moment, Ruoshui almost thought that the other party would accept her next time mind.

But in the end is not.

Gu Cuo's next words made her understand that this man's tenderness was only given to one person.He said, "If a man really likes you, he won't let you say this. I'm not that silly girl, I can understand your thoughts. It's just that I don't like you. It's late at night, early Take some rest. Farewell." Saying this, she turned and left.

Even his refusal was so straightforward that there was no room for any imagination at all... The sound of the heartbeat just now, like a drum beating, was instantly silenced.

The wind seemed to die.

Heartbeat also stopped.

In the whole world, there is no sound left.

The palms were clenched tightly, and the fingers were so painful that Ruoshui still didn't let go.She squatted down slowly and hugged her knees.He hugged himself like a baby in his mother's womb.

Her thoughts about the ancient house probably started to grow at the first sight. The man was gentle, restrained, with wide eyebrows and eyes, satisfying all her imagination of "the son is like jade".It's not that I haven't seen a good-looking man. In terms of appearance alone, Ning Xiuxian is indifferent and alienated, Ning Xiuyuan is handsome and noble, and the young man of the Bai family is suave. They are all good skins.

But only the ancient house has an aura that makes him willing to sink into it.

But it wasn't until he said "I just don't like you", until he left himself where he was without hesitation and turned away, that Ruoshui suddenly realized that the ancient house he liked was the same old house. The old house where Ji Wuyan got along, that gentle and tolerant man.

Not at this moment, the almost indifferent person under the night.

She squatted on the ground for a long time until her feet became numb, and then she slowly got up, stood there and waited for a while, until the numbness in the soles of her feet passed, and then walked back slowly holding the wrench.

When she entered the door, she suddenly felt that it doesn't matter if she doesn't like it now.Third Master Ning has a heart for Ji Wuyan, and it is not certain who this Ji Wuyan will end up with.

If Ji Wuyan really married into Ningguo Duke's mansion in the end, would Gucuo be able to see herself?

The rest of life is long... no rush.

Thinking of this, she felt again that it was just rejected once, so it's no big deal.It's like going to play the piano in front of the wives by yourself, and some people say it's not good.Just like Fuxiqin, who was stumbling, didn't she also come back?What can be smooth sailing?But no matter how many twists and turns, the final result is good.

She stood in the yard with her face up, squinting her eyes, and smiled. There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her smile... After all, she was envious of Ji Wuyan, she seemed to be well protected.

……

It wasn't until the morning of the second day that Gucuo realized that he had become a son-in-law who needed to be poured to wash people's feet in the mouths of these incomprehensible people, and he was only seven years old. Ji Feng, who knew exactly what it was, shook his head at him, his expression seemed to be filled with endless sympathy and pity...

Facing the "persuasion" of Ji Feng, the face of the ancient house showed a variety of colors.

Ji Wuyan had a hard time holding back her smile, so she simply didn't eat breakfast, put her chopsticks on her chin and gossiped, "Yesterday I saw that Ruoshui couldn't hold it anymore, um...she wants to go with you, What did you say?"

The little girl's eyes were full of narrow and broken light.

Gu Cuo looked at her without saying a word, his eyes meant something, and Ji Wuyan was upset when he saw it, so he pushed him, "Tell me!"

"She said..." Gu Cuo looked at Ji Wuyan for a moment, and said slowly, "She said, she pleases me."

Ji Wuyan was slightly taken aback.

Gucuo has been staring at her expression from the beginning to the end, unwilling to let go of any subtleties, but still did not find the slightest bit of displeasure and negative emotions on her face.

She was just surprised, it's just like this... It's like hearing an unexpected gossip, and it has nothing to do with her.

On the contrary, Ji Feng, with an "oh", pawing at the ancient house with an expression like a mourning concubine, shouted, "Then did you agree? Did you agree?"

This kid is a pain in the ass.Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed, pulled Ji Feng back to his side, and patted his head, "Don't worry, your elder brother Gucuo won't stay in Jiangnan to be your son-in-law. Put your heart in your stomach... make a fuss. "

The heart that had just been sinking in the ancient house was quietly raised again, hanging in the air, unable to go up or down.He held his breath subconsciously, and asked softly, "Why not? Miss Ruoshui..."

He frowned and thought for a while, "Well, she's still pretty, and her personality is... pretty good. A fair lady, a gentleman is so good, it's not impossible..."
