EBE Chapter 149 What I Learned From Her
Chapter 149 What I Learned From Her
When Gu Peiyan returned home, Wei Dongning had already finished watching the movie.
She was engrossed in reading the storybook that Su Yizhuo had found for her.
Hearing the door open, I looked up and saw his sorrowful face.
Wei Dongning pretended to know nothing, put down her book, walked over and gently touched his face: "What's wrong? Did you encounter some difficulties?"
Gu Peiyan stared at her without saying a word for a long time.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace: "Don't move, let me lean on you for a while."
His appearance and tone were exactly like a larger version of Xiao Wu, leaning on her shoulder.
Wei Dongning felt an urge to ravage him.
Just as the wicked little hand was raised, Gu Peiyan suddenly spoke up: "Headache."
Wei Dongning's hand, which was about to ruffle his hair, moved to his forehead. Feeling the warmth from her palm, she breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he didn't have a fever: "Did you have too much work today and get tired?"
"Sigh." Gu Peiyan sighed deeply, "My father-in-law and father had another argument today."
Besides that, there were those annoying and tedious official duties, all of which were draining his energy.
When Wei Dongning first saw that incident from Xiao Wu, she felt like laughing.
But when I heard it from Gu Peiyan, all I felt was heartache for him.
A small hand climbed up his back and patted him twice reassuringly: "You've had it tough, having to face so much every day."
Gu Peiyan shook her head, resting her head on the crook of her neck.
At that moment, he only had one thought: thank goodness it was him.
If she were caught between two fathers, it would probably be even more difficult for her.
It's more appropriate for him to bear this kind of suffering.
Wei Dongning was held by Gu Peiyan, and she maintained a slightly backward posture.
She only reached out and patted his back when her back ached and her legs hurt: "Get up, you're crushing me."
This person really has no self-awareness whatsoever; doesn't he even consider his own weight?
Even if she has practiced martial arts for many years, it doesn't mean she can maintain a backward bending posture without getting tired.
Gu Peiyan nuzzled against her neck a couple more times before standing up.
His hair was stiffer than hers, and Wei Dongning flinched at the provocation.
As he looked up, he unconsciously scratched the spot where he had just been using his pillow: "Who did you learn all this from?"
But she forgot that this was one of her favorite little gestures.
Gu Peiyan didn't speak, just stared at her intently, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Xiao Wu chimed in, "Ningbao, do you need me to compile a collection of your head-burying killer moves?"
"Never mind, I remember now."
Wei Dongning didn't want to see her acting cute on the big screen.
When Gu Peiyan saw that she remembered, the corners of her mouth turned up in a beautiful arc.
All the fatigue of the day was driven away in this moment.
He pulled her towards the tatami mat.
His large hand kneaded her palm gently, as if it were a baby's toy.
Even after sitting down, he didn't loosen his grip.
Wei Dongning had no way to pull her hand back, so she simply gave up resisting.
With her other free hand, she pointed to the water glass on the table and mouthed to Xiao Fu to bring it to her.
She was a little thirsty earlier.
I originally planned to get some water after asking Gu Peiyan my questions.
His actions directly disrupted her plans.
Xiao Fu smiled and handed them the water cup, then looked at them with an almost teasing expression.
Wei Dongning felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and pretended to be angry: "Go and see if the kitchen has prepared any pastries."
This naughty little Fu is only emboldened to tease her now because she's always been so nice to her.
Just like Xiao Wu, he deserves a beating.
And then there's Gu Peiyan.
Wei Dongning pulled her hand back slightly: "This is my hand, not dough, brother."
She had no doubt that if she let him play with her a little longer, he would mold her hands into a different shape.
When her hand went empty, Gu Peiyan's expression froze for a moment.
If Wei Dongning were to glance at him now, she would find that his gaze was exactly the same as Xiao Wu's when his snacks were taken away.
They all looked aggrieved, with a hint of confusion mixed in.
But Gu Peiyan's ability to manage her expressions was far superior to Xiao Wu's. In just a moment, her expression returned to normal.
She stood up and was about to leave when she said, "I still have some things to take care of, so I'll go to my study to get back to work."
Wei Dongning sat upright on the couch, showing no intention of getting up to see him off: "I'll have Xiao Fu call you from the study when it's time for dinner."
Unfortunately, Gu Peiyan was ultimately unable to leave.
Qianrong rushed in from outside: "Young Master, Young Madam, the Marquis has arrived and says he wants to see the Young Madam."
Wei Dongning knew the purpose without even having to guess.
Her smiling face instantly fell: "This money I just warmed up a little while ago!"
She doesn't lack this money now, but who wouldn't like free money without paying income tax?
Making her return it now is no different from robbery.
Upon hearing the words "Lord Marquis," Gu Peiyan's previously relaxed state of mind tensed up again.
The veins on his forehead throbbed uncontrollably twice.
The main concern is that I'm afraid this morning's situation might repeat itself at home.
The only one who could laugh out loud was Xiao Wu: "Ningbao, I understand what you said this morning."
Wei Dongning wished she could bite Xiao Wu's ear to vent her anger.
But then she thought, what if Wei Liangzhe and Gu Song clash again? In the end, it would be her and Gu Peiyan who would suffer.
We might as well hurry over there.
Wei Dongning pulled Gu Peiyan along the way, and when they arrived at the entrance of the reception room, they saw that the seats where the two fathers were sitting were large enough to fit a whole football team.
The two of them turned their heads away, neither wanting to look at the other.
“When we go in later, you drag your dad away, and I’ll take care of controlling him.” Wei Dongning stood at the door discussing strategy with Gu Peiyan.
The only solution she could think of was for each of them to take care of their own father.
Just because Gu Song won't do anything to her doesn't mean Wei Liangzhe will show Gu Peiyan any mercy.
After all, according to Xiao Wu, Wei Liangzhe knew that Wei Qiuci had gotten a stomachache from eating out with the Third Prince, which was why he couldn't dodge the ball and got injured. So he dragged Su Yila to the training ground and trained him for several hours before letting him go.
Su Yide was at least a trained martial artist, yet he almost missed getting up on time for court because of Wei Liangzhe's extra training.
If it were Gu Peiyan, with his small frame, he would probably be spending the next period of time in bed.
Besides, she doesn't have any intention of changing husbands yet.
Gu Peiyan nodded silently, agreeing to her suggestion.
Wei Dongning stood at the door and took a deep breath.
After mentally preparing myself, I stepped inside and greeted the two people inside: "Father, Dad."
Upon hearing that she called him first, Wei Liangzhe immediately perked up and gave Gu Song a haughty sidelong glance.
Gu Peiyan greeted them, then excused herself to discuss some business with Gu Song and left with him.
Wei Dongning pretended not to see his childish behavior. After the Gu family father and son left, she asked him with a fake smile, "Dad, what brings you here today?"
"Dad just came to see how you're doing in the Gu family." Wei Liangzhe steered the conversation around the bush before getting to the point: "I heard from that Gu fellow that all the money Dad lost is with you?"
