The Rebirth of an Orphan

Hmm? What kind of stupid question is this? How can he be so confident that he will fall in love with someone one day?

Zhao Xihua laughed and said, "What are you talking about? To be honest, I have lost my heart a long time ago. How can I be moved by any feelings? I'm hungry. Let's eat first. But I can't drink this wine with you."

Zhao Xihua was extremely tired after a whole day of hard work. After drinking half a glass of wine, she couldn't resist and climbed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Lun called Pingshui and Chunfeng to take away the leftover food, and then pulled the quilt over Zhao Xihua who was already fast asleep.

He stood beside the bed and looked at the pretty face. The blush on her face caused by the alcohol made the throbbing in his heart even stronger.

But since he has promised this girl, Gu Lun will definitely give her the proper respect. Although he likes her, he cannot destroy her because of his own selfish desires.

So he walked into the suite next door. There was a small bed inside the suite without a door, so he lay down on the bed with his clothes on.

Finally, the night passed peacefully, and Zhao Xihua woke up early the next morning as usual.

She sat on the bed and felt a slight headache, but she was in good spirits. She didn't expect that she slept so soundly last night and didn't have any bizarre nightmares.

She suddenly remembered that she had sat and drank with Gu Lun last night, but where did that guy go?

She quickly got out of bed and looked around, only to find that there was a person lying on the small bed in the suite next to her. The bed was small but the person was big, with his two slender legs resting on a chair that was specially moved over. The person was lying in bed with his clothes on, and was sleeping soundly.

Sleeping like this must be a bit painful for the tall Gu Lun. Zhao Xihua thought he would go to the study to sleep, but she didn't expect him to be so harsh on himself.

But seeing that this was what a gentleman did, Zhao Xihua felt a little touched. Seeing him from such a close distance, it seemed that he wasn't that annoying after all.

She didn't have the heart to wake him up, but she had to go to the main house to serve tea to the elders this morning. If she was late, she would definitely be criticized. After all, Gu Lun was now the heir of the Gu family, and he was watched by many eyes every day, so he couldn't make any mistakes.

"Alan, wake up, wake up," Zhao Xihua stood in front of Gu Lun, raised her hand and gently shook his shoulder.

Gu Lun suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, Zhao Xihua was frightened. The vigilant look seemed to have the despair of being abandoned by the world, and more of a warning left after being hurt countless times.

Gu Lun never expected that the first sound sleep he would have would be on his wedding night, on a small bed where he couldn't even stretch his legs straight.

He slept very deeply that night, but he also dreamed of returning to the killer training base, where he had escaped from death.

Looking at Zhao Xihua who was frightened by his appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He was so violent that most people would be scared if they approached him.

Zhao Xihua felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was the one who woke him up from his dream. To ease the embarrassment, she hurriedly said, "Alan, it's time to get up. We have to serve tea to the elders later."

Gu Lun responded and slowly stood up, but his legs felt numb after being resting on the chair all night.

Zhao Xihua noticed something was wrong with him and said, "You can sleep in the study tonight. I'll ask Chunfeng and the others to make the bed in the study so that you can sleep more comfortably."

Gu Lun was about to raise his arms to stretch his waist when he heard what Zhao Xihua said. His arms froze in mid-air. He then looked at Zhao Xihua and smiled softly, "Girl, since you are so kind, why don't you invite me to sleep in the same bed with you?"

Zhao Xihua looked at the evil and handsome face in front of her, gritted her teeth secretly and laughed coldly: "I will never ask you where you sleep in the future, so you can do whatever you want."

Gu Lun smiled bitterly to himself, what an unpleasant woman. But when he saw Zhao Xihua's cold face, his heart began to beat again. This girl's cold look had a fatal attraction. He was poisoned by this woman.

He was really angry when he saw Zhao Xihua. The teasing expression on his face subsided a little, and he leaned in front of Zhao Xihua and whispered, "Girl, don't be angry. It was my fault just now. Don't show me your displeasure. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

Zhao Xihua was worried that this guy would say something inappropriate again, so she hurried to leave, but Gu Lun continued, "I have to sleep here these days. If I sleep in the study during my wedding, you will be laughed at in the Gu family instead of me. Do you understand, girl?"

Yes, Gu Lun was right. If Gu Lun slept in the study every day during their honeymoon, people would definitely suspect that there was some conflict between them, and she, Zhao Xihua, must have been disliked by Gu Lun.

Gu Lun was already having a hard time in the Gu family, and she became an unpopular young lady after marrying into the Gu family. Her life would only be better if she was under Gu Lun's protection.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xihua looked at the man standing beside the bed, feeling mixed emotions.

After washing up, Zhao Xihua and Gu Lun prepared to go to the old villa where Grandpa Gu lived. Zhao Xihua had met the old man yesterday, and she had great respect and liking for this old man who was clear about right and wrong and was cheerful and domineering.

The Gu family compound is much larger than the Sun family compound in Yuncheng. The old man lives in a somewhat remote place. After changing her clothes, Zhao Xihua followed Gu Lun out of the Dongyuan villa where they lived, but found a sightseeing bus parked at the door.

Do I need to take a car to travel around the Gu family? Is it that far?

Gu Lun helped her into the car, and then said to the maid driving in front: "Let's go around the lake first. I want to take the young lady to familiarize herself with the environment of our Gu family compound."

"Yes!" responded the maid who was driving. She had heard before that the young master doted on this country girl very much, but she didn't expect it to be true.

This morning was the time for the bride to pay respects to her elders, but the young master would rather let the elders wait and take the young mistress to visit the Gu family. It seems that he dotes on her very much.

Zhao Xihua also said, "Alan, don't go around. Grandpa is still waiting for us. It's not good to keep him waiting for too long."

"It's okay. Grandpa just got up at this time. It's okay for us to go a little later." Since Gu Lun said so, Zhao Xihua had no choice but to follow his advice.

Soon, Zhao Xihua understood why the Gu family prepared this kind of small sightseeing car for transportation. Yesterday, time was a bit tight, and she only knew that the Gu family was very large, but she didn't expect that it was actually much larger than she imagined.

The entire Gu family almost encloses a large area of ​​forest. Half of the mountain is the back mountain of the Gu family, and there is also a large lake.

There are also houses built on the small islands in the lake, which are probably places to escape the summer heat. However, now it is autumn and winter, and the houses in the lake are empty.
