The Rebirth of an Orphan

Late at night, in a villa in the suburbs, Gu Lun heard the personal guard repeat Zhao Xihua's words to him verbatim, and he actually felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Young Madam really said this? Is she worried about me?" Gu Lun asked again.

"Master, what the young mistress asked me to relay is correct. I certainly wouldn't dare to say anything wrong. It is absolutely true."

"Haha, little guy, you still have some conscience." After saying that, he let the guard leave.

Deng Xiao beside him couldn't help but laugh secretly, but he didn't mention it again. He just discussed other things with Gu Lun: "Brother Gu, the Third Prince has been very active recently. Now he wants to intervene in the affairs of Jiangnan?"

Gu Lun's lips curled up into a cold smile, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince has been keeping a low profile for so many years, he will definitely not back down. If he makes a move this time, the Third Prince will not be a match for Your Highness at all."

Deng Xiao nodded and said, "The young master of the Ling family is coming back."

Gu Lun paused. There were not many people in the whole Kyoto city who could catch his eye, and the young general of the Ling family was one of them.

He didn't say anything else, but put on his black windbreaker and prepared to leave, looking a little anxious.

Deng Xiao was a little surprised to see Gu Lun so anxious. Gu Lun was always calm and composed, a man who wouldn't change his expression even if the sky fell. So what was he doing so anxiously now?

"Where are you going in such a hurry, Brother Gu? Is there an urgent summons from His Highness?" Deng Xiao asked.

But Gu Lun just smiled faintly and said, "Brother, you think too much. I just went back to the club to check. The girl was a little frightened today. She is timid and I am afraid of scaring her."

Deng Xiao's eyes widened immediately. What? Zhao Xihua was timid? Could it be that he hadn't seen Zhao Xihua making a fuss in Yuncheng?

No, Deng Xiao looked at the tall and mighty figure walking out of the villa gate again, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He didn't know about others, but he knew this person too well. His methods were endless. At a young age, he was the top military advisor beside the Ninth Prince. If one day the Ninth Prince sat in that high position, then he would be the first meritorious official.

This man is extremely cold-blooded and heartless. When has he ever cared about anyone? Could it be that he is really in love with the girl from the Zhao family?

It was already midnight when Gu Lun returned to the club. The servants in the club were really surprised to see him coming back so late.

This gentleman is a very busy man and seldom comes home normally. But now that the young mistress has moved into the club, this gentleman has come back more and more frequently. After all, the wedding has not yet been officially held, so in order to avoid suspicion, this gentleman comes less often at night.

"Is the young madam asleep?" After getting out of the car, Gu Lun threw the key into the hands of a male servant, and without waiting for him to say anything, he walked anxiously towards Zhao Xihua's room.

At this time, Zhao Xihua had already fallen asleep, and Pingshui and Chunfeng were still helping Zhao Xihua pack some trivial items needed for her marriage.

Unexpectedly, they heard hurried footsteps outside. They quickly got up to take a look, but unexpectedly, Gu Lun had already walked in, wet and cold.

"Son-in-law~" the two girls greeted him hurriedly.

Gu Lun subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Is your young lady asleep?"

The two of them were a little nervous. They didn't know what would happen to their son-in-law after what happened today. So looking at the pressure from Gu Lun, they felt a little scared.

"Sir, the young lady has fallen asleep." Pingshui responded.

Gu Lun took off his windbreaker, rubbed his cold hands, and walked towards Zhao Xihua's bedroom after cooling down a little.

Although their marriage was a foregone conclusion, it had not yet reached the final step. Seeing that Gu Lun was about to enter Zhao Xihua's bedroom without any scruples, the two maids quickly ran to the door and blocked Gu Lun's way.

Although the two were so nervous that their bodies were shaking, they just stood there without moving, with their hands clenched into fists.

Gu Lun looked at the two girls, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You don't have to be like this. I just came back to see her."

Pingshui was a little stunned when she heard this, but unexpectedly, Chunfeng beside her whispered, "Sir, I'm sorry, if you want to deal with my young lady, then... deal with me first."

Gu Lun looked at the two girls and couldn't help but admire their loyalty in his heart. He didn't expect that the two girls around Zhao Xihua were well trained, one was smart and the other was loyal, which complemented each other.

But now he was a little annoyed and said in a cold voice: "If I want to deal with your young lady, can you two stop me? I just came to see her. If you don't want to make me unhappy, get out of my way."

Chunfeng wanted to say something but was stopped by Pingshui. They moved away from the door but did not leave. They just stood at the bedroom door and watched.

Gu Lun didn't bother with the two girls anymore. He walked into the bedroom and looked cautiously at the person lying on the bed.

Zhao Xihua often has nightmares, so she puts an aromatherapy lamp by her bedside when she goes to sleep. The soothing incense emits a faint fragrance, and Zhao Xihua looks stunningly beautiful under the faint halo of fragrance.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua, who had lost the fierce aura she had during the day. She was now curled up in the quilt like a child, with her long eyelashes sticking to her jade-like face, making her look like a lovely elf.

Gu Lun's heart started beating wildly, but he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and raised his hand to touch her delicate chin, which still had some purple bruises.

Zhao Xihua's skin was so delicate that it could be broken by a touch of force. A little effort would leave scars. Looking at the scars on her skin, Gu Lun's breathing became stagnant.

He looked at Zhao Xihua and whispered, "Girl, if you dare to do that again... I will really kill you."

……

The first snow of winter has fallen. Big red wedding characters are posted everywhere in Gu Lun’s private club. Zhao Xihua’s room is also crowded with people. But until now, Zhao Xihua still doesn’t know who these ladies from aristocratic families are?

She sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking at her face in the mirror. She looked elegant and graceful after being dressed up, and she seemed to be no less imposing.

"Sister, your brother-in-law is here to pick you up." Pingshui walked in front of Zhao Xi's screen and whispered.

In fact, Zhao Xihua was a little worried. After all, she was of humble origin. In Kyoto, where many aristocratic families gathered, a small Yuncheng Zhao family really could not catch the eyes of these people.

What's more, she is an orphan with a bad fate, and she had made a fool of herself with the Sun family before. These things must have been widely spread in Kyoto.

Now she and Gu Lun must be the most controversial people in Kyoto. One is notorious and humble, and the other was raised outside since childhood and was recognized by the family only after he grew up. After returning, he became the legitimate heir.

The heir of the Gu family is the future head of the Gu family. This is something that has attracted much attention from everyone. And for a big family like the Gu family, even the president is very concerned.
