Chapter 113 Even Cats Get Jealous
Wei Dongning didn't interrupt, trying her best to be a good listener.
Gu Peiyan continued, "I just asked the people who serve my father and learned that his symptoms have lasted for a long time, but I didn't notice."
It wouldn't be accurate to say that nothing was discovered at all.
Every time he got up early to attend court, although his father always looked very energetic, the dark circles under his eyes were not to be ignored.
But he didn't think too deeply about it, only assuming that his father was too busy with official business and went to bed too late at night.
"Now that we've discovered it, let's start making changes slowly from this moment on. It's not too late yet."
As long as it hasn't reached the point where "one wishes to care for one's parents, but they are no longer there," it's still not too late.
Gu Peiyan's mood was still not very high, but it was at least much better than when she first came back.
He grabbed Wei Dongning's hand that was combing Xiao Wu's fur and began to knead it continuously.
Gu Peiyan controlled his strength just right, and Wei Dongning didn't feel any pain. She was even in the mood to joke with him: "Are you planning to treat my hand like dough, or are you jealous that I'm brushing Xiao Wu's fur and want me to brush yours too?"
"Is it okay?" Gu Peiyan looked at Wei Dongning hopefully.
He had long wanted to experience what it felt like for her to comb his hair.
I wonder if those slender fingers, as they weave through her hair, feel as comfortable as Xiao Wu does right now.
To be honest, he felt that same bittersweet feeling again when Wei Dongning was talking to the Second Prince and ignoring him.
"Ningbao, is he jealous?"
“I didn’t expect him to be so reserved. You go play by yourself for a while, I’ll try to coax him.” Wei Dongning bent down and put Xiao Wu on the ground, then beckoned to Gu Peiyan: “Come here.”
Gu Peiyan was pulled by Wei Dongning to sit down in front of the bronze mirror.
A thick head of black hair fell down.
Gu Peiyan watched as she walked past him and reached out to pick up the comb in front of the bronze mirror.
Just as the comb was about to touch his head, he couldn't help but ask, "Why use a comb?"
Wei Dongning paused, holding the comb, then chuckled softly, "You always use a comb to comb your hair, right?"
Gu Peiyan hesitated for a moment, but still let the comb fall.
Xiao Wu squatted down beside her, watching Wei Dongning's patient actions. After searching his mind, he finally found a suitable word: "Ningbao, you really are starting to look like a virtuous wife and loving mother now."
"That word is too heavy for me to bear. I only do it because he's been good to me, and I try to comfort him when he's in a bad mood."
In an instant, Xiao Wu remembered a sentence it had written in its notebook: "Heartache is the beginning of attraction."
Ningbao may still think that she only has a good impression of Gu Peiyan, but little does she know that in other people's eyes, their interactions are full of love.
It can even understand human emotions, which it doesn't know much about.
If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Xiaofu, who just went out; she's also on the front lines of sugar-eating every day.
Gu Peiyan stared blankly through the bronze mirror at Wei Dongning's earnest expression as she combed his hair, feeling a sense of peace he couldn't quite describe.
He glanced at Xiao Wu squatting beside him out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.
He held a higher place in A Ning's heart than Xiao Wu.
Wei Dongning doesn't know how to style many hairstyles, mainly just a high ponytail and a simple updo.
It's enough to deal with Gu Peiyan.
However, now that it was getting dark, Gu Peiyan would not be going out again, so Wei Dongning decided to tease him.
She wrapped his hair around the back of his head a few times, took a hairpin from her own hair, and styled it into a simple woman's bun: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Seeing his helpless expression as he looked in the mirror, Wei Dongning stood behind him, covering her mouth and unable to suppress a laugh.
Gu Peiyan grabbed her hand and with a forceful movement, made her fall onto his lap.
Looking into her eyes, which were brighter than the stars in the sky, my heart skipped a beat: "Beautiful."
As he spoke, his large hand pressed tightly against her waist.
The burning heat of her palms seemed to penetrate through layers of clothing and reach her skin.
Xiao Wu wisely blocked them out, as if certain that something was about to happen between them: "Don't worry, Ningbao, you know my name is Junjie."
This left Wei Dongning somewhat at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
But things often don't go as planned.
Before they could make any move, Xiao Fu and Qian Rong brought in dinner.
Even though Wei Dongning has a thick skin, she doesn't like to be affectionate in front of outsiders.
She coughed lightly and stood up from Gu Peiyan's lap, raising her hand to pull the hairpin from his hair: "Hurry up and restyle your hair."
It could be considered romantic if it were just the two of them, but with other people around, it was still a bit embarrassing.
Gu Peiyan also found it difficult to accept this situation.
She neatly restyled her hair and pulled Wei Dongning back to sit at the table.
Even though Xiao Fu and Qian Rong witnessed what had just happened, they didn't dare to say anything.
She could only silently admire him, thinking to herself, "The young master/son-in-law really dotes on the young mistress/miss, and is willing to indulge her in all this fuss."
Gu Peiyan looked at the food in front of her but didn't rush to pick up her chopsticks.
Instead, he looked at Qianrong and asked, "Has Father's medicine been delivered?"
"Aunt Zhou has already cooked it and sent it over."
"That's good. You two should go and eat too."
Having heard the answer she wanted, Gu Peiyan was no longer worried and waved for them to leave.
For dinner tonight, Aunt Zhou and the others prepared a braised fish dish.
It has a bright color and a fragrant aroma.
Without hesitation, Wei Dongning picked up a piece of fish from its belly with her chopsticks.
The meat there is tender and has no small bones, making it Wei Dongning's favorite.
Wei Dongning, engrossed in her meal, was completely oblivious to Xiao Wu, who was drooling beside her.
Seeing its pitiful little appearance, and remembering the time she had just "competed" with it for attention, Gu Peiyan's heart softened for a moment.
I picked up the fish and placed it on a plate, carefully checking for any small bones.
After confirming that there was only fish in the plate, Gu Peiyan placed the small plate of fish in front of Xiao Wu: "Eat."
With delicious food in front of him, Xiao Wu had no time to express his gratitude to Gu Peiyan.
He opened his mouth wide and started wildly stuffing things into it.
Gu Peiyan looked at Xiao Wu's eating habits, and then at Wei Dongning's eating habits.
I always felt that their movements were as if they were all cut from the same mold.
If Xiao Wu wasn't a cat but a little girl, Gu Peiyan would absolutely believe that Xiao Wu was his and A Ning's biological child.
Xiao Wu noticed that he was being looked at with a loving gaze and slowed down his fish-eating speed: "Ningbao, does your Gu Peiyan really think of me as his father? His eyes are much more kind than when my own father looks at me."
The way the Supreme God looked at it always carried an emotion that it couldn't understand.
It wasn't until it was assigned to the system of Gathering Treasures that it understood what that emotion was.
It was a gritted-teeth scream: "This is my own child, I can't kill him."
Wei Dongning glanced at Gu Peiyan, somewhat unsurprised by his loving gaze: "I could tell from the day he brought you back. It's nothing unusual. I thought you were already used to it."
"I thought he was joking." Xiao Wu scratched his ear, then thought of something else: "By the way, Ningbao, I have some breaking news about you, do you want to hear it?"
