"We also found out about Li Yan’s background by accident, and thought, he should go back and acknowledge his family. But, the situation at his ho is indeed complicated; I was thinking of asking Mom about it..."
Gu Tong wiped her mouth, as if in thought, and said, "It seems to be the Li Family..."
This was no secret, and it was sothing that would be revealed eventually, so there was nothing Feng Shulan couldn’t know.
Feng Shulan leisurely put down her chopsticks, gracefully lowered her hand, and said, "The Li Family is the top aristocratic family, I know about them. I rember, an auntie of mine from a few generations back was engaged to soone from the Li Family, so there was so connection."
Noblewon surely are different; they seem to know everything...
"If I’m not mistaken, currently, Granny of the Li Family, Gong Qingwan, was my classmate."
Feng Shulan had studied abroad and used to be a famous noble lady, so she recognized all these family daughters, saying, "At that ti, the previous Granny of the Li Family, Miss Bai, was also in our class. Co to think of it, it was quite a coincidence."
Gu Qing, Gu Tong: "..." Amazing, Mom is incredible.
Li Yan: "..." Mother-in-law is impressive.
Mo Zishuang: "..." Mother-in-law is strong.
"The Li Family has many rules; when you go back, you must pay full respects. Coincidentally, the Feng Family’s ancestral ho is in Shoucheng. I’ll arrange for the Feng Family’s steward to pick you up and also handle the upcoming matters properly."
If I rember correctly, the Feng Family’s ancestral ho was inhabited by a collateral branch of the Fengs, distant relatives from sowhere.
Since Feng Shulan got married, the collateral branch managed part of the business in Shoucheng. They didn’t usually have much contact, but they sent gifts during holidays and festivals.
The Feng Family is a noble family by nature, well-versed in etiquette and rules, and equally distinguished. They’re not inferior to the Li Family, and Gu Tong’s arrangents can’t be any less.
For this reason, they brought it up with Feng Shulan, hoping she could make further arrangents.
"Thank you, Mom."
Gu Tong sincerely thanked her, no matter where they were, their mother was always their safe haven. This statent was absolutely correct.
...
Night fell.
The cold wind kept blowing, and Gu Tong stood by the window in the bedroom, glancing at the calendar beside her.
Li Yan slowly approached her from behind, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and asked in a calm voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Tong, embraced by the familiar arms, didn’t resist, but instead tilted her head and said, "I’m thinking about how quickly ti flies. It’s already the end of the month."
The thirtieth.
In two days, they were set to embark on their mission.
Since being reborn, they’ve been on the move, never having a stable mont. But thinking carefully, they’ve always been together, which might be the only thing they can rely on.
"Yes, it’s very fast." Li Yan gently touched her head, smiling, "You’ve been married to for almost half a year now."
Ti flew by, and they cherished the ti they had together.
Every minute and every second, they didn’t want to lose.
Gu Tong smiled faintly, gradually turning around and diving into Li Yan’s embrace, saying, "It’s been half a year, are you tired of yet?" She teased him on purpose.
"Even if I am, I have to bear with it." Li Yan teased her back.
Darn, what’s that supposed to an...
Gu Tong raised her face in protest, pouting and puffing up her cheeks at the man.
Her ’angry’ look was like a hamster hoarding grain, extrely cute.
Li Yan couldn’t help but laugh at her expression, rubbing the top of her head, and said, "There’s a whole lifeti ahead. If you can’t endure half a year, how could you possibly manage that!"
At first glance, this statent sounded particularly like a love confession.
But as Gu Tong savored it, she always felt sothing was a bit off...
