The Rebirth of an Orphan

Old Master Gu was so angry that he started coughing. Gu Yan quickly supported his father, but he was still a little afraid and said hurriedly, "Father, don't be angry anymore. I will listen to you."

Old Master Gu then snorted coldly and glanced coldly at Madam Hua who was standing next to him. Madam Hua deliberately avoided Old Master Gu's sight and lowered her head slightly, but hatred was already oozing out of her eyes.

She didn't expect that the old guy was still so strong. She only regretted that she didn't kill the old guy last time, which made her embarrassed here today.

However, after twenty years of management, and the fact that she had already firmly won over Gu Yan, even if she couldn't do anything to the old man now, his death was not far away. Let's see how long he can live and how long he can protect Gu Lun, the bastard.

At this moment, Gu Yan was really worried that Mr. Gu would be mad at him, so he carefully looked at Mrs. Hua, whose face looked extremely ugly. Then he gritted his teeth and sat down next to Liang Wan's portrait. However, the portrait of Liang Wan next to him made him feel uncomfortable.

He only remembered that when he was young he was a soldier and was often on the front line of the battlefield. But halfway through his service, his father arranged for him to go home and get married. At first, he was somewhat fond of the beautiful Liang Wan, but he felt that this woman was too docile and a little dull.

He was a playboy who loved freedom, but after a long time he couldn't stand it anymore, so he returned to the battlefield again. Unexpectedly, he met Hua Lan Nazhu, a passionate woman.

Later, Hua Lan Na Zhu saved his life, and they fell in love and got pregnant. Of course, he wanted to give an explanation to their child.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wan was not only pregnant with his son, but also wanted to divorce him angrily. He had no choice but to let her go. He didn't expect that this woman had hidden his son for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan looked at Liang Wan's portrait beside him, and there was even more disgust in his eyes.

Gu Lun brought Zhao Xihua to Gu Yan, kowtowed respectfully and offered tea, but Gu Yan's face still did not look much better.

The following process went smoothly, and nothing unexpected happened. At the wedding banquet, Zhao Xihua accompanied Gu Lun to toast casually, and was too tired, so she let the servant take her to a villa building on the east side.

The whole villa is surrounded by green bamboos, and there are yards in the front and back, but the yards are not very big. The living room on the first floor is decorated very elegantly, with wedding characters pasted inside and outside, adding a bit of festive atmosphere to the whole building.

The two girls, Pingshui and Chunfeng, were still frightened by the grievances of the Gu family today. They didn't expect that the Gu family was more complicated than the Zhao family.

Zhao Xi was tired of painting, so two maids hurriedly helped her into the master bedroom on the second floor. The large bed was covered with lotus seeds and red dates. As soon as she sat down, several female relatives who had some friendship with Gu Lun came to make a fuss in the bridal chamber, and then left tactfully.

The room became quiet. Zhao Xihua sat on the bed in an orderly manner. Pingshui and Chunfeng asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you hungry? You haven't eaten much since this morning..."

Pingshui knew that Zhao Xihua must be starving, so she was busy finding something for Zhao Xihua to eat, but was stopped by Zhao Xihua.

"It's okay, we can endure it. The Gu family has many rules, so we must not give others a chance to talk about us." Zhao Xihua understood that now that she had officially entered the Gu family, she would need to be careful in order to survive.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sound of guests drinking could be heard faintly in front. Although Zhao Xihua was a little hungry, she did not dare to move and break any rules. She was brought here by Gu Lun to act with him, so naturally she had to act out the show to the fullest.

While Zhao Xihua was daydreaming, there were suddenly footsteps outside the master bedroom door. When she looked over, she saw Gu Lun had already opened the bedroom door and walked in.

Chunfeng and Pingshui, who had been accompanying Zhao Xihua, felt embarrassed to stay in the room any longer. "Son-in-law~" The two girls nodded to Gu Lun and left the room.

"Yeah," Gu Lun responded lightly, and then walked towards Zhao Xihua step by step.

The door was closed from the outside by Pingshui and Chunfeng, and then the familiar amber scent of Gu Lun accompanied by a faint smell of alcohol came over, and Zhao Xihua actually became a little nervous.

The person in front of her stopped and stood in front of her without any movement or sound. Such a quiet atmosphere made Zhao Xihua feel a little nervous.

She was about to stand up. "Don't move," Gu Lun said with an intimate smile, "Sit down and let me take a good look at you."

Zhao Xihua could only sit there and look up at Gu Lun. The man in front of her still had the same charming face. It was particularly lively, with his angular features all showing a gentle smile, which was completely different from the coldness he had shown towards Mrs. Hua before. Zhao Xihua's heart couldn't help but be slightly moved.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but because she had been hungry for too long, her stomach growled and her face turned red.

No matter how calm and composed Zhao Xihua was, this still made her feel a little embarrassed. She quickly lowered her head and turned away, not knowing how to start the conversation.

It was rare for Gu Lun to see this girl blushing. Her bright face was actually filled with a rare shyness. She was as beautiful as jade and intoxicating.

Gu Lun's heart suddenly jumped, and he finally calmed down the throbbing in his heart. He was a man of his word, and he really would do what he promised not to touch her.

"Hua'er, wait for me." Gu Lun turned around and was about to leave the room. Zhao Xihua didn't know where he had gone. You know, tonight was the wedding night, and there must be many people ready to find faults and mistakes.

"Alan, where are you going?" Zhao Xihua called in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." After saying that, Gu Lun strode out.

Not long after, Gu Lun came back. He first moved a small table into the room, and then, like magic, brought in plates of steaming food from outside the door and placed them carefully on the small table.

Ham and bamboo shoots, garlic ribs, steamed sea bass...

There were a variety of meat and vegetable dishes, and even a bottle of red wine. Gu Lun filled the glass and brought it to Zhao Xi's screen, saying with a smile, "It's not so noisy now, let's have a nice drink together."

Zhao Xihua felt warm in her heart. She took the cup and shared some of the wine in it with Gu Lun, then smiled and said, "I have never liked drinking since I was a child, and I don't drink often. I am not invited to family gatherings, so I don't have much tolerance for alcohol."

Zhao Xihua was very aware of her alcohol tolerance, and although this guy promised not to touch her, she still didn't quite trust him. If she drank too much and something happened, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Zhao Xihua held up the wine glass and smiled at Gu Lun, "Alan, I'm going to use this glass of wine to wish you and me a happy cooperation and everything goes well."

Gu Lun knew that this girl wanted to distance herself from him, so he picked up the cup, clinked it with hers and said with a smile: "Hua'er, can you agree to one of my requests?"

Zhao Xihua was stunned. How could Gu Lun, such a proud man, use the word "ask"?

"If... I mean if one day, after we've been together for a long time, you fall in love with me, you must tell me, okay?"
