Be in low spirits

She took a few bites of breakfast, swallowed two mouthfuls of porridge, and told Liu Ma to call the secretary in. After the secretary came in, she asked them to send a car to the train station in the afternoon to wait for General Ye, and to prepare a banquet to entertain him at the mansion.

After explaining everything, she went to the bathroom to take a bath and then went to sleep. When Aunt Liu woke her up, it was already past seven in the evening. She got up in a daze and asked, "Is General Ye here?"

"We're here. Let's go straight to Gu's house after getting off the train." Aunt Liu brought her some clothes and wanted to help her get dressed and wash up. Ye Fan was listening to the noise inside at the door. He couldn't wait to open the door and shouted, "Luoluo."

"Xingzhi!" She threw back the quilt and ran towards him barefoot.

Ye Fan hadn't had time to change out of his military uniform, but he couldn't resist her rushing towards him and throwing herself into his arms. Aunt Liu carefully slipped out through the crack in the door.

At the banquet, Uncle Wu asked, "General Ye is a warrior after all. How can he barge into the young lady's boudoir so recklessly? It's so unreasonable."

Aunt Liu advised him: "This is the future son-in-law, don't make irresponsible comments."

"Future son-in-law? The old son-in-law is still alive, so has the new son-in-law been arranged?"

"Old Wu, you don't understand. Don't talk nonsense. The young lady has her own plans."

In the room, Ye Fan hugged the person in his arms and said, "I came as soon as I got off the train. I knew you were waiting for me."

"I know you won't let me down again." Gu Jinluo remembered that the last time she returned to Anjiang, she received his letter of broken engagement, and she couldn't help but hold the person in her arms tightly.

"Auntie Liu said that you were busy in the study all night and went to bed after breakfast today. Are you still tired now? How about I sleep with you for a while?"

"No, it's time to eat." She shook her head like a rattle in his arms.

"Then hug for a while longer."

She was wearing a soft nightgown, with a faint fragrance on her body, and a circle of gentle light surrounding her.

"Did Dr. Jiang come with you?" She thought that she should also put an advertisement in the newspaper to deal with her engagement with Zeqing, but she also had to wait until his injury healed.

"How dare I disobey my wife's orders? But why are you looking for Doctor Jiang?"

"Eat first, and I'll tell you after dinner."

When going downstairs to eat, Ye Fan sat down next to Gu Jinluo very naturally, and the servants who were serving him looked at each other in surprise.

"Let's eat." Gu Jinluo spoke, and everyone sat down to eat. Shen Zeqing also went downstairs to eat.

"Ms. Gu knows that I know Mr. Shen?" Jiang Yunran asked.

"I know a little bit. I thought since we are old acquaintances, it would be convenient to take care of him. Zeqing will have to ask Doctor Jiang to take care of him for the time being."

"Uh, sorry to trouble Doctor Jiang. I've been able to eat on my own these days, and I'm much better..." Shen Zeqing felt that he should be able to move freely in two days. It would be too troublesome to change someone to take care of him at this time, and it would be even more troublesome to change people suddenly.

"Of course, even just a chat would be fine." Gu Jinluo said firmly.

This was the first time Ye Fan knew that Dr. Jiang knew Shen Zeqing. Looking at the three people at the dinner table, he felt like a superfluous person.

Gu Jinluo asked Liu Ma to find someone to arrange a room for Dr. Jiang next to Shen Zeqing's room.

After dinner, Ye Fan and Gu Jinluo were busy with work in the study. He still asked, "How do you know that they know each other?"

"I saw their correspondence in the newspaper. I was just suspicious at first, but it was only after Dr. Jiang spoke out that I was 100% sure." She has not yet finished reviewing the documents sent in by companies from all over the country.

"Communicating in newspapers?" This method is mostly used by underground workers, and it is all encrypted. He didn't know that his wife had this ability.

Gu Jinluo looked up at him, and after a few minutes of hesitation, she finally spoke to him, "Zeqing is the founder of the Communist Youth Society. Doctor Jiang should have some admiration for him. In addition, he is injured. I thought that if they spend some time together, it would not only allow the work of the Communist Youth Society to continue, but also give two like-minded people such an opportunity."

"Shen Zeqing is the founder of the Communist Youth Society?" This would also explain why the police station went to the train station to stop them, which means that the Japanese was really assassinated by Shen Zeqing.

"The two parties may have different positions, but after all, they are both for the country and the people. I am just a businessman who only knows right from wrong and does not distinguish between politics. I don't think what Zeqing did is wrong." Although their Gu family is doing government business, they never ask about political affairs.

"You always call him Zeqing, why don't you call him Mr. Shen?" Compared to politics, he was more concerned about whether she had ever thought about promoting him, the legitimate husband.

"General Ye, you can go wash up and prepare to go back to your room to rest." There was a hint of jealousy in his words. If we really talked about these things, he would definitely go even further.

He put down the newspaper in his hand, feeling unhappy: "Are you trying to drive me away?"

"General Ye, didn't you see the way the servants looked at you when you were having dinner today? Coming in and out of the Gu family so openly has already attracted attention. Do you really have to live in my room every day?" She also put down the documents sent from various places in her hands.

Speaking of this, Ye Fan felt even more unwilling. "Do you really care about what others say? Why didn't you say anything when I went to Fuchang Hotel? Now that I'm in Anjiang, you start to despise me?"

It seemed that he was really angry, and his voice started to get louder. Gu Jinluo sighed, walked up to him, took his newspaper, put his arm around his shoulders, sat on his lap, leaned on him and said, "Xingzhi, I asked you to find Dr. Jiang, isn't it because I hope that we can properly handle our relationship?"

"You always coax me like this." Ye Fan was still angry and turned his head away, unwilling to get close to her.

"Well... shall I ask Aunt Liu to fill the water for you to take a bath?"

He still turned his head away and refused to say a word to her.

"I'll go with you?" She didn't wash either. If she couldn't be coaxed, she would probably be angry for several days.

"…Just taking a bath?" Ye Fan was originally angry at her attitude, but when he saw that she softened, his anger subsided a lot.

"Can you bear to just take a bath?" She leaned on his chest, knowing that he would always respond to soft tactics rather than hard ones.

"Miss, the red ginseng soup is left at the door for you." There was a knock on the door by Aunt Liu outside the study, followed by the sound of talking.

She quickly stood up, opened the study door, took a few sips of the ginseng soup, put down the bowl and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, ask someone to prepare the bath water. I'll take a bath in a while."

Aunt Liu took the order and left with the bowl. Ye Fan sat on the single sofa, holding the newspaper, shaking his shoulders and laughing: "Red ginseng soup...hahaha..."

It seems that the anger has completely subsided. Gu Jinluo also lowered his head and laughed. The anger came quickly and went away quickly. He didn't look like a general at all.

"Why? You want to drink something too?" She sat down at the desk again, worrying about whether several businesses in the southwest region should be closed.

"Madam, I told you that you were weak, but you didn't believe me. How about I take care of you for the next two months?" He walked to the desk and said in a mean way.

"Now that you've calmed down, just take a bath by yourself, okay?" She coaxed him like a child.

His face began to slump again. A man in his thirties was like a child, getting angry at any time.

Aunt Liu said at the door: "Miss, the water is ready."

"Auntie Liu, ask the servants to clean up a room for General Ye." One always has to do a good job on the surface. Moreover, Commander Chen stationed in Anjiang will celebrate his daughter's birthday in two days. The two of them have to attend together, but they cannot act too familiar.

Ye Fan picked the person up horizontally, and his feet suddenly left the ground. She subconsciously hugged his neck and called out softly.

Ye Fan said: "Madam, the Gu family needs you, and I need you even more."

He carried her to the bathroom, put her down, and unbuttoned her cheongsam one by one. Gu Jinluo was surprised: "Are you always so skilled at unbuttoning other people's clothes?"

Ye Fan grabbed her hand, helped it to the button of his shirt, lowered his head to her ear and said, "Should you take it off for me too?"

"Talk about something else." She also started to unbutton his clothes, but she was a little nervous.

"I'm just very skilled at unbuttoning your clothes, because every time I see you, I see every detail about you." After he unbuttoned her clothes, her cheongsam instantly fell to the ground, leaving her naked. She couldn't help but snuggle into his arms, wanting to feel safe.

"It's not like we haven't seen it before, so why are you still so shy?" He was satisfied with her initiative to approach him, but dissatisfied with the speed at which she took off her clothes.

She lowered her head and didn't answer him. She pulled her shirt out of his pants and tried to unbuckle his belt, but she couldn't open it.

Ye Fan pressed lightly, pulled out his belt, and his pants fell off. He pulled the man into the bathtub and kissed him.

"Well...Xingzhi, you..." She suddenly felt as if he was in control of everything, and she was more like a lamb falling into his trap.
