Be in low spirits

Because she was locked up in the Presidential Palace and couldn't get back to the apartment in time after she came out, Gu Lang asked Liu Ma to keep an eye on her and not let her run around. Ye Fan couldn't get through to her, so she had to call her.

After receiving the news that the engagement was cancelled, Yang Lin rushed to Ye Fan, wanting to ask how the deal went. Ye Liangyun knew the news but was unwilling to say more, after all, they had fought for it themselves.

Ye Fan was just telling Yang Lin about going to Shuangxi tomorrow. He hesitated and asked, "What about Yao'er?"

"Whether Yao'er can follow depends on how you perform as the deputy general." He joked. He was happy at the thought of being with Luoluo again.

At dinner that night, Gu Lang sat at the table and said, "Luo'er, the wedding is cancelled. Does your father know?"

"Secretary Ye will call him." After not going home for a few days, Aunt Liu's cooking skills have improved a lot.

"Since the engagement is cancelled, you... and Ye Fan?" He knew that as her brother, he could never become her husband, but maybe he could keep her by his side for the rest of her life?

"Xing and I are on the same page, and his uncle also agrees that we can be together as long as he completes his military duties."

"I don't agree!" When she heard her talk about Ye Fan, there was light in her eyes and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. He felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother, Ye Fan has a good family background and is a good person, why don't you agree? Moreover, compared to Yang Lin, Su Mufeng and the like, he is more worthy of my entrusting my life to. If father knew, he would agree too."

"But...how long have you known him? Do you understand him?" Gu Lang didn't want to see her jump from one engagement to another.

"So, tomorrow I'm going to go south with him to Shuangxi."

"What? I sent you to Jinghua so that you could marry someone with a good family background and good character, not so that you could suffer in the army."

"Brother, since I fought for this myself, I will definitely not regret it."

Aunt Liu has packed her luggage and she can take Yaoer with her tomorrow.

Gu Lang knew that it would be meaningless to argue with her about something that had already been decided, so he had to say, "Then be careful and tell me if you need anything, but I still want to say a few more words. If you have been wronged, don't bear it yourself. I am your brother, and there is always a way to solve it."

"Yeah." She was full and put down her bowl. "I'm going to find Yao'er, you don't have to follow me."

Gu Lang shook his head. He couldn't do anything about her and he didn't want to keep her trapped like this forever. Their relationship had only improved slightly because of her studying abroad, and he couldn't let the relationship become strained again.

After returning from Yao'er, she found a phone booth and called Ye Mansion, asking Ye Fan to meet her, and the two of them went to the boat to watch the stars together.

After Ye Fan received the person, he said, "Why don't you come to Ye Mansion to find me directly?"

"It's too troublesome. It would be more convenient for you, a grown man, to run around." She wondered whether she should send Liu Ma to Yaoer's house before leaving tomorrow.

"Did your cousin blame you?" He saw that she was in a bad mood and thought that she was wronged by her cousin.

"What do you think? If my father adopts Yao'er as his adopted daughter, can she marry into the Yang family?" She was wearing a smoky blue cheongsam, with half of her hair in a bun and the other half down, which made her look even cooler.

"I'm afraid Grandpa Yao'er won't agree. I've talked to mother about this before." He pulled her into his arms and felt her presence.

"Why?" This is strange. Isn't it to raise Yao'er's status so that she can marry into the Yang family smoothly?

"The old man has his own pride. You, don't do bad things with good intentions."

This time he was not wearing a military uniform, but a custom-made shirt and vest. It was not irritating, and she couldn't help rubbing her head against the fabric of the shirt, which made his neck itchy.

"If you keep doing this, I won't be able to control what I'm going to do next."

Hearing this, she immediately raised her head and stood upright at the bow of the boat. The clear water caressed her feet and she giggled again.

"Would you like to find some time to take me to the Paramount?" Today at Yao'er's place, she heard a lot about Ye Fan's romantic affairs, including that confidante.

He was stunned. Why did he suddenly mention Paramount? "I...didn't say anything about Paramount?" He lifted her feet and put them on the boat, saying, "The water is cold at night."

She helped him stand up, walked into the cabin, and said, "Tomorrow we're going to Shuangxi. What are your plans? How about going to Paramount to tell that confidante?"

Her footprints were on the deck, and she took out a towel to wipe her feet. Ye Fan took the towel and wiped her feet carefully, saying, "That was a long time ago. Why do you still care about it?"

She put on her shoes and joked, "Since it happened in the past, there's nothing to hide. Hiding it like this only makes it more obvious."

He moored the boat to the shore, pulled her ashore, and walked on the road holding her hand. "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, I just thought it wasn't worth mentioning."

The two of them were walking on the street at night, like a loving couple.

"Then you must be able to dance. When we get to Shuangxi, we'll find some time to try it out."

"I will follow your orders, Madam."

After sending the person to the downstairs of the apartment building, he held the person in his arms and refused to let go, always feeling that there were many things he had not finished saying.

"Aren't you afraid that your brother will see it?" She was held in his arms, unable to move.

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips, then held her face and said helplessly: "It seems that you really can't remember it. Let me help you think about it again. What should I call you?"

"Uh...cousin." She turned her face away, afraid that Gu Langzhen upstairs would see him kissing her.

He held her in his arms and said, "When I think about the fact that I can only see you again tomorrow, my heart starts to feel uncomfortable. If we get married, I will definitely keep you by my side every day."

"Okay, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. You go back and get some rest." She should go back now, otherwise her brother would question her.

In the train compartment, Ye Fan found some comic books from somewhere and piled them in front of her for her to use to kill time. Yao'er followed her and looked around the compartment with a peep show.

Ye Fan and Yang Lin were discussing military affairs outside the box. The Pei army was not as easy to deal with as the Shengze army. On the surface, it seemed to be a good team with a rigorous style and strict discipline, but if that was the case, the old commander would not have been trapped in Jinghua. Ye Fan looked through the information of several deputy generals, but could not think of a breakthrough for the time being.

Butler Hou arrived in Shuangxi first and cleaned up the local general's mansion and waited for several people to move in. There were not many servants in the mansion, and Butler Hou had to check the new servants several times before he could feel at ease. After a few days, the servants were just barely enough.

Aunt Liu went to the Su's house again to serve Yao'er's grandfather. After Gu Lang knew about it, he arranged another person for her.

The four of them arrived at the general's residence. Gu Jinluo was very tired after the long journey. After washing up, he lay down on the bed to rest. Yao'er went to the kitchen to see the dinner prepared for them. Ye Fan and Yang Lin sat in the study discussing military affairs.

Before going to bed at night, Ye Fan sat by the bed and coaxed her to sleep. She thought of the comic books she saw on the train, made room for him to sleep on the bed, and asked with a smile: "Where did you get those comic books from?"

Ye Fan held the person in his arms, wondering whether he should sleep here. What if he couldn't control himself and broke his promise?

"I found it in the study. What's wrong with that?"

"You just watch such indecent things?" She turned around and looked up at him.

She was already wearing thin pajamas, and she was looking at him with such innocent eyes. He was already feeling a little hot, and now it was even hotter. He had to move his body and keep some distance from her. "What do you mean by improper?"

"There is a copy of Jin Ping Mei. What do you mean by that it's indecent?" She said it calmly, not as if she couldn't accept it.

He coughed twice. Did the servants think he was just trying to relieve his boredom, so they took everything away? "Uh... What's wrong with Jin Ping Mei? It's a good book." He explained with a stiff upper lip.

She lifted the quilt and went out of bed barefoot to look for something. The person in his arms suddenly disappeared. The momentary gap made him think that she was angry. He supported himself with his hands and sat up, and asked, "Are you angry?"

She took out the bag and said, "Would you like to try it?"

"what?"

"It's used by Westerners to avoid pregnancy. Do you want to try it?" She lay down on the bed and took out something from the bag. "But I don't know how to use it. You have to study it yourself."

"You...are you asking me to break my promise?" He threw the contents of the bag aside and hugged her, not knowing whether she was really serious or was just testing him.

She pushed away the hand around her waist, threw back the covers, sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck and said, "It won't be a breach of promise if I don't get pregnant."

He took the things out of the bag again, his Adam's apple sank, he swallowed his saliva, and said, "Then let me study it first?"
