Chapter 193 The Disguise Has Been Revealed
They all share the same pre-wedding anxiety.
Zhong Shuyue's visiting card did not explicitly state this, but Wei Dongning still gleaned some clues from it.
After all, Zhong Shuyue had experienced this situation before.
Moreover, the fact that the wedding was postponed for a month was enough to alleviate this anxiety.
But as the wedding date drew closer again, Zhong Shuyue couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this time, she really needed the company of Wei Dongning, her best friend.
Su Yizhuo thought so too.
He originally intended to find the Crown Prince.
Unfortunately, he was so busy that he had to take care of his pregnant concubine and had no time to pay attention to him.
They gave him a stack of silver notes, reassigned the two bodyguards who had lent him the previous time to him, and then kicked him out.
With the comfort of money, Su Yizhuo, who was always quite greedy, no longer cared about the already "not much" brotherhood between him and the Crown Prince.
Holding the silver notes, they bought a large table of delicious food at Tianxiang Restaurant, and then, accompanied by Xiaohua, went directly to the Gu residence.
Hearing Wei Dongning say that she was the same as him, Su Yizhuo cleared his throat awkwardly: "I just came to treat you to a meal, that's all."
“Yes, Yueyue invited me to dinner too.” Wei Dongning looked up at Gu Peiyan: “Did I say it was for something else?”
"No."
"What is someone feeling guilty about?" Wei Dongning turned her gaze back to Su Yizhuo's face.
There was nothing in his eyes except mockery.
Su Yizhuo had just taken a small sip of his wine when she choked on his words and coughed repeatedly: "Cough cough cough, who, who's feeling guilty? Gu Peiyan, your wife talks like that, and you're not going to say anything? :)"
“I hope Your Highness will forgive me. If A Ning has offended Your Highness in any way, I will apologize on her behalf.”
"You two are really something..."
We stand united against external forces.
Su Yizhuo really didn't want to admit that he was the "outsider," but given the current situation, he had no choice but to admit it.
Su Yizhuo looked at Wei Dongning with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
What happened to the promise that they were the best brother and sister in the world?
How come some people are now siding with outsiders?
Wei Dongning saw his gaze, but pretended not to notice. She added a piece of meat to Gu Peiyan's plate and urged him to eat quickly.
Su Yizhuo was practically drooling with envy from the two of them.
Fortunately, Gu Peiyan was still kind-hearted. She gently patted Wei Dongning's hand twice under the table and said, "Don't tease His Highness anymore."
"It's okay, he won't really be angry."
Wei Dongning is quite confident about this.
However, he composed himself and sat up straight.
After being teased by the two of them, Su Yizhuo's anxiety dissipated by more than half.
They began to observe the subtle interactions between Wei Dongning and Gu Peiyan.
As a newly minted writer, he has recently taken a particular interest in observing the lives of the people around him.
Then I use it as material to add to my own novel.
His second major work is currently in a bottleneck period, and he also faces the important task of getting married.
He's been losing more hair than before lately.
I chatted with them for a while today, and I feel much clearer-headed now.
Perhaps because he was about to become a groom, the Emperor and the Crown Prince wouldn't have bothered him unless there was something that required Su Yizhuo's intervention.
Therefore, Su Yizhuo has plenty of time to stay at the Gu residence today.
Wei Dongning ate her food calmly for a while, then noticed that Su Yizhuo's gaze kept seemingly falling on her and Gu Peiyan.
It made her wonder if something she had eaten had gotten on her face.
She quickly moved closer to Gu Peiyan and lowered her voice, "Look at my face, is there something on it? Why does Nao Nao keep looking at me?"
Gu Peiyan glanced at her quickly out of the corner of her eye, then turned her head slightly closer to her: "No, your makeup is complete."
"You know about this?"
"I don't understand," Gu Peiyan answered honestly, "but you are exactly the same now as you were this morning."
"What are you two whispering about that I can't hear?"
Wei Dongning waved her hand at Su Yizhuo: "It's nothing, I was just praising you."
Su Yizhuo didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more.
The meal lasted from noon until evening, until the sky was shrouded in darkness, at which point Su Yizhuo got up to say goodbye.
Watching his back as he carried Xiao Hua, Wei Dongning rubbed Xiao Wu's fur, cleared her throat, and called out, "Ming Qing."
Su Yizhuo's previously steady steps suddenly faltered.
Immediately afterwards, two incredulous gazes fell upon her.
Su Yizhuo never expected that his carefully concealed disguise would be exposed at this moment.
He made a silent plea to Wei Dongning: "Please keep this a secret."
Wei Dongning only raised an eyebrow in response and held up two fingers.
With such a huge handle in someone else's hands, Su Yizhuo had no choice but to admit it.
He nodded heavily and left the Gu family without looking back.
Xiao Fu never expected that "her idol would be right next to me."
"Ningbao, you're so naughty, I love you so much." Xiao Wu burst into laughter as he looked at Su Yizhuo's slightly disheveled figure.
Wei Dongning smiled but said nothing, grabbed Xiao Wu's paw and waved it twice at Su Yizhuo.
After Su Yizhuo left, Xiao Fu was still in a daze.
Even after returning to her room, she still looked on in disbelief: "Young Madam, is it really the Second Prince?"
"Hmm, if you want an autograph, just ask him. You know him anyway."
"Oh my god, I need to catch my breath..." Xiao Fu "floated" out.
The author she admires is actually a prince.
If word got out, who would believe it...?
Gu Peiyan narrowed her eyes slightly: "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"
"The most popular storybook in Beijing recently is written by Nao Nao."
"No wonder." Gu Peiyan chuckled.
If it were him, he probably would have done the same.
The next morning, Wei Dongning got ready and went to the Zhong family with the silver notes she had "swindled" from Su Yizhuo.
Upon seeing Zhong Shuyue, Wei Dongning eagerly took her arm: "Come on. Your sister is treating you to a performance today."
"what?"
"Let's go, this is money sponsored by your future husband."
Wei Dongning patted the purse at her waist and pulled Zhong Shuyue to the pear garden.
Upon hearing that Su Yizhuo had paid the money, Zhong Shuyue hesitated for a moment, but still followed her.
Upon arriving at the opera house, before the curtain was raised, Wei Dongning pulled Zhong Shuyue to choose a private seat on the second floor with the best view.
Soon a waiter came over with a list of plays to choose from: "Is there anything you two would like to hear?"
Wei Dongning took the list and looked at it, but really didn't know which one sounded good.
After all, she rarely listened to these traditional operas before.
He simply handed the list to Zhong Shuyue: "See if there's anything you like."
Zhong Shuyue casually flipped through the pages, pointed to a piece titled "The Jade Hairpin," and said, "This one will do."
Closing the receipt and handing it back to the waiter, Zhong Shuyue rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and looked at Wei Dongning: "Why would His Highness suddenly give me money?"
Wei Dongning wouldn't reveal the real reason, so she quickly changed her mind and said, "You are his future queen, and I am his cousin. It's only reasonable for him to spend some money on us."
Zhong Shuyue immediately realized that what she said made a lot of sense.
In a private room not far away, Su Yizhuo sneezed loudly.
Before the actors even came on stage, Zhong Shuyue couldn't help but chat with Wei Dongning: "I'm so nervous just thinking about it, Ningning. I'm getting married tomorrow. How about you come to my house tonight and sleep with me? I feel more at ease with you here."
