Chapter 60 Mutual Apologies
What could Gu Peiyan say?
He angered someone this morning, and we don't even know if they've calmed down yet. Now he's being asked to stop them from going out to play.
He must be an idiot to do that.
Fang Zirui was indeed somewhat unreliable.
Seeing that Gu Peiyan didn't intend to stop him, Fang Zirui glared at him with exasperation, then, displaying his shameless nature from the past, he clung to Shen Siyun: "Wife, Madam~ didn't we agree that I would accompany you when you go out in the future?"
Wei Dongning had never seen a man act coquettishly before, and she was stunned.
And judging from their expressions, they don't seem angry at all.
Xiao Wu's intelligence, which had been clouded by the beauty, returned to normal: "Ningbao, I feel like the beautiful lady just embellished your story with Gu Peiyan."
Wei Dongning also realized what was happening.
It seems that Xiao Wu's words make a lot of sense.
So, she misunderstood Fang Zirui just now?
Should she apologize?
"I think it's better not to. The couple put on this whole show with good intentions. If you apologize now and expose them, it will just make things awkward for everyone."
“You’re right… Now I’m the one in an awkward position…” Wei Dongning now wished she could double the size of the Gu residence: “But did I really neglect Gu Peiyan last night? I can’t quite remember.”
Xiao Wu had also forgotten the details of last night, so he had to ask Wei Dongning to wait for him: "Don't worry, I'll look through the situation from last night and tell you when I find it."
Xiao Wu rewound the records from last night all the way back to the time when its abilities were restored.
Staring at it frame by frame, I realized that the two of them were so busy sharing gossip last night that Ningbao barely spoke a few words to Gu Peiyan.
Gu Peiyan's face was as long as a wronged husband's.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been dumped.
"Ningbao."
Wei Dongning sensed the hesitation in Xiao Wu's tone and her heart skipped a beat.
She could guess what it was going to say without it saying anything further.
"After those two leave, I'll apologize to Gu Peiyan too," Wei Dongning thought to herself.
Moreover, Gu Peiyan bought her a hairpin as an apology.
If there are steps, it's better to come down them as soon as possible.
At least her relationship with Gu Peiyan was relatively pleasant.
Xiao Wu hesitated, "Ningbao, do you want to prepare a gift for him too? Isn't it too late to go out and buy one now?"
Wei Dongning stared intently into Xiao Wu's big, round eyes: "I won't buy it, but I need your help!"
Nothing is more sincere than having someone who never cooks make soup by hand.
Even Su Yizhuo has never tasted her cooking.
"No problem! Leave everything to me! Assistant No. 005 is dedicated to serving Ningbao!"
With Xiao Wu's assurance, Wei Dongning's anxiety subsided.
She's clumsy, but she still has some amazing skills!
There definitely won't be any major problems.
Wei Dongning happily joined in the chat with Shen Siyun once again.
Seeing Xiao Fu, who had been guarding the kitchen, appear at Panyuexuan, Wei Dongning's eyes lit up: "Is lunch ready? Bring it over now."
Xiao Fu stepped forward and cleared away the tea and pastries from the table.
Immediately, the servants brought out plates of exquisite dishes.
Wei Dongning picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a piece of fish on Shen Siyun's plate: "Sister Siyun, please try this. My Aunt Zhou is also a master at cooking fish."
As if afraid of losing favor, Fang Zirui also picked up a piece of green vegetable and placed it in Shen Siyun's bowl: "Madam, try this."
Gu Peiyan silently picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her own bowl, ignoring the two people who were childishly vying for attention. She carefully removed the fish bones and then swapped the bowl containing the fish with the empty bowl in front of Wei Dongning.
Fang Zirui, who had failed to win the favor, held up three fingers at Gu Peiyan.
The heartache I suffered at the Gu residence today cannot be healed in two meals; it will take at least three.
Gu Peiyan picked up a piece of potato and put it in Fang Zirui's bowl.
We're all in the same boat, let's eat some potatoes to soothe our wounded hearts.
Wei Dongning piled a lot of things that Shen Siyun thought were delicious onto her plate. After thinking for a moment, she also piled a piece onto Gu Peiyan's plate: "Don't just focus on me, you eat too."
Fang Zirui couldn't help but give Wei Dongning a thumbs up in his heart.
It seems that this silly couple isn't entirely beyond redemption.
So what if you're a little slow? It's not a big deal!
If Lao Gu takes the initiative more, why worry that his wife will be slow to understand?
The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, the Fang couple successfully completed their mission and left the Gu residence together.
After returning to their room, Wei Dongning and Gu Peiyan were left staring at each other.
Remembering what Fang Zirui had said to her before leaving, Gu Peiyan was the first to apologize: "I'm sorry, my attitude was bad this morning. If you don't like that hairpin, we can go and buy you a new one you like now."
She didn't wear the hairpin he gave her when she arrived at Panyue Pavilion.
He was somewhat uneasy, wondering if he had made a bad choice.
Wei Dongning placed the wooden box containing the hairpin in Gu Peiyan's hands.
At that moment, Gu Peiyan felt as if she were holding a thousand pounds.
Glancing at his drooping eyelids, Wei Dongning used his hand to open the wooden box, revealing the silver hairpin inside: "Since you want to apologize to me, then I'll punish you by making you put this on for me."
Gu Peiyan's dim eyes lit up again. She took out a hairpin from the box and gently inserted it into her hair.
His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke: "It looks very good."
"Really? Let me see."
Wei Dongning stared at her reflection in Gu Peiyan's eyes.
After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction: "Your judgment is indeed excellent."
Xiao Wu shook his head.
Poor love-struck fool, he's fallen in love again.
Unfortunately, the female lead is oblivious to her feelings and doesn't realize that her actions are flirting.
The most dangerous thing is to flirt without realizing it.
Gu Peiyan felt her heart pounding like a drum, coughed lightly, and looked away: "Thank you for the compliment."
His shy expression caught Wei Dongning's eye and made her heart flutter.
It's the kind of heart-fluttering feeling that arises for all handsome men.
Gu Peiyan is a typical academic high-achiever and handsome guy, with both talent and good looks.
She needs emotional intelligence and good looks.
When she's shy, her face turns red from her ears to her neck, making you want to pinch her cheeks.
Xiao Wu's voice burst into Wei Dongning's mind, which was filled with lewd thoughts: "Ningbao! Your thoughts are too impure! I'm still a child!"
"It's alright, the little yellow flowers of our motherland are just as important as the little red flowers."
"Pah! I'm going to tell the Supreme God that you've corrupted his only little darling!"
"Go ahead." Wei Dongning patted the cat's head indifferently.
The main god probably doesn't have time to pay attention to their petty squabbles.
Having accepted Gu Peiyan's apology and teased Xiao Wu a bit, Wei Dong stood up straight, feeling refreshed: "Let's go, it's time to prepare my apology gift."
