Chapter 140 is wrong, yet you still dare to...
Wei Dongning knew that Xiao Wu had done its best, so she didn't make things difficult for it: "Okay, if I forget, remember to remind me."
She has always had a clear understanding of her own memory.
Luckily, she had Xiao Wu as a powerful cheat code, otherwise her brain might have overloaded.
On the morning of the Spring Festival banquet, Wei Dongning took out the "couple outfits" she had prepared long ago and showed them to Gu Peiyan.
She prepared a dark blue robe with a subtle floral pattern for him, and a pale yellow spring shirt with auspicious cloud patterns for herself.
Actually, these two pieces of clothing have always been hanging there.
However, unless specifically mentioned, probably no one would associate them together.
Wei Dongning discovered the two items by chance when Xiao Fu was organizing the wardrobe. They looked extremely well-matched, which gave her the idea to make them into matching couple outfits.
"Go change into it quickly. Remember to wear the crown I bought you last time." Wei Dongning raised an eyebrow at Gu Peiyan.
She was looking forward to seeing how he would look in this outfit.
Gu Peiyan took the things she was offered without the slightest hesitation: "Okay."
When he came out, Wei Dongning had already changed into her dress.
She pulled him to stand in front of the bronze mirror, and smiled with satisfaction at their reflections: "I have such good taste."
Xiao Wu circled around their feet twice, sensing something unusual in her words: "Ningbao, why do I feel like you're not praising the clothes?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right."
"But you didn't choose the man yourself. Shouldn't the Emperor have good taste?"
"Shh, it's mine now anyway."
"Too."
Gu Peiyan followed Wei Dongning's gaze to the bronze mirror, and he guessed her little thoughts perfectly.
However, they did not choose to expose it.
Because he had the same thought.
His original plan was that if the clothes she found for him didn't match his colors, he would find another one to match.
Surprisingly, they had the same idea.
Does this prove that her feelings for him are a little bit stronger?
Gu Peiyan's gaze shifted downwards, landing on her bright face.
His gaze became increasingly gentle.
"Ningbao, what's your Talking Tom thinking about this time? Why is he laughing so...smirkingly?"
Wei Dongning, who was still admiring her own beauty in the mirror, subconsciously raised her eyes when she heard Xiao Wu's words.
Their eyes met.
Wei Dongning proudly raised her chin: "I can tell you're quite satisfied with the clothes I chose."
"Of course, I've always known that you have good taste, madam."
"Well said!" Wei Dongning quickly gave him a light peck on the corner of his lips: "This is a reward for your sweet talk."
The moment Wei Dongning tried to retreat, Gu Peiyan's large hand was already on her waist, pulling her closer to him.
He lowered his head, wanting to continue kissing, but only managed to kiss her palm.
Gu Peiyan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Wei Dongning still covered his mouth and pushed his head away: "Young Master Gu, if we don't leave now, we'll be late. You don't want to be late for the first time in your life because of this little thing, do you?"
Xiao Fu covered her mouth, turned her face away, and secretly smiled.
Xiao Wu, who is "well-informed," felt shocked time and time again today: "What terrible lines are these?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm such an innocent person."
"Really? I don't believe it."
“It’s even more real than the gold jewelry I wore today.” Wei Dongning pushed Gu Peiyan to walk quickly outside.
He didn't forget to casually give Xiao Wu a perfunctory reply.
Then, leaving Xiao Wuyi cat alone at home, she questioned her existence.
It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance from the Gu residence that Xiao Wu finally entered Wei Dongning's mind, hands on her hips, gritting her teeth and saying, "You lied to me, you weren't wearing any gold jewelry today."
Wei Dongning then covered her mouth and yawned to hide the smile that was playing on her lips.
Oh dear, we've been found out.
She was wrong; she'll do it again next time.
Su Yizhuo was already waiting at the entrance to the Spring Banquet.
When they last met, he forgot to bring the storybook he bought for her. He hadn't had a moment to spare these past two days, so he brought it with him today.
To avoid being accused of having a close relationship with Wei Dongning in public, Su Yizhuo even handed the storybook to Gu Peiyan, asking, "Did I buy the wrong thing?"
Wei Dongning glanced at it through Gu Peiyan's hand and nodded excitedly, "Brother, you're really amazing! You actually managed to buy it."
This book is the second in a series of books that the original owner bought.
Because she hadn't been able to buy this book, Wei Dongning read the first two pages of the third book and then put it away.
Unfortunately, the storyline just doesn't connect.
She only complained to Su Yizhuo once, and he took it to heart.
Su Yizhuo was also very proud: "Now I have the power of money."
More than 90% of the problems in the world can be solved with money. If money can't solve them, it just means that the money wasn't spent properly.
Gu Peiyan suddenly felt as if the storybook in his hand had become a hot potato, and he had to take a deep breath to restrain himself from throwing the book back.
He also felt somewhat guilty.
Having lived together for so long, he hadn't even noticed that one of her storybooks was missing.
Gu Peiyan handed the storybook in her hand to Qian Rong behind her and gently reminded the two who were still catching up: "Your Highness, I'll take A Ning inside first. So as not to block the way for the others."
Su Yizhuo glanced at the long line of carriages approaching in the distance and swallowed back what he was about to say: "Yes, let's go, I'll go in with you."
"Your Highness, shouldn't you wait here for Miss Zhong?" Gu Peiyan reminded him calmly.
Realistically speaking, given Su Yizhuo's status, he shouldn't need to wait.
But men understand men best, and Su Yizhu quickly realized that Gu Peiyan didn't want him to be a third wheel between them.
Considering how good he was to Ningning, he was willing to give him face.
He readily stopped and said, "Then you go in first, I'll come find you later."
Gu Peiyan's expression instantly relaxed. She slowly bowed to Su Yizhuo and then pulled Wei Dongning inside.
Wei Dongning only had time to wave to Su Yizhuo.
After walking a short distance, Wei Dongning asked, "Why do you seem to be in a bad mood? Is it because I didn't let you kiss me back this morning?"
Something's not right," Wei Dongning frowned.
He seemed to be in a pretty good mood when we were in the carriage.
Why has it changed again now?
Xiao Fu stood behind and witnessed everything that had just happened.
I know he wasn't unhappy about that little thing; he was clearly jealous of the young mistress's close relationship with the second prince.
It's probably only the young mistress who didn't notice.
Under Wei Dongning's "tutelage," Gu Peiyan had learned to speak her mind: "It's not because of that matter. I'm just wondering if I've been a bit negligent as a husband, failing to notice that your storybooks are incomplete."
