Chapter 193 Will She Like It?
Chapter 193 Will She Like It?
Bei Yan'an remained silent for a long time before finally standing up and leaving with only the words, "Get some rest."
Bei Yuze sighed helplessly, turned and walked towards the bathroom. His father had never been good at getting along with people, even with him. He cared about him, but didn't know how to express it.
I wonder how my younger sister's mother came to like my father. Was it because of his looks...?
the other side.
Gu Meng leaned against the window, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky. The cheerful look she had during the day was gone, replaced by a faint melancholy.
"Meng'er."
Jing Shu had been standing by Gu Meng's window for some time now. Seeing that Gu Meng hadn't noticed his presence, he called out to her.
"You seemed a little unhappy after you came back with your master. Are you thinking about your father?"
"Senior brother..." Gu Meng came back to her senses, turned her head towards Jing Shu, and continued to rest her head on her arm.
"Senior brother, was my unhappiness that obvious back then?"
She was trying her best to act like she was normal.
"Meng'er, you can't fool me no matter who you're lying to." Jing Shu leaned against the wall, turning his head to look at Gu Meng.
"And you also managed to fool your cousin."
Gu Meng: "???"
Jing Shu looked up at the eaves. "Senior Brother, Xiao You, come down. Don't hide."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Chuan and Jing You jumped down from the roof.
"you......"
Jingyou spoke first, "Junior Sister, although I don't know what your father is like, if he treats you badly or makes you uncomfortable, just leave him!"
Shi Chuan gently patted Gu Meng's head and said softly, "You don't need to pretend when you're unhappy in front of us. We will always be your family."
Gu Meng felt a warmth in her heart, and the gloom on her face instantly vanished. "Alright! I'm not upset anymore. It's already so late, you should all go back and rest! I'm going to sleep too."
Upon hearing this, Jingyou looked at Jingshu and saw that Jingshu nodded almost imperceptibly before saying, "Junior Sister, please rest well. I'll have my brother cook something delicious for us tomorrow!"
"Good~"
Gu Meng agreed and watched as Jing You pushed Shi Chuan away first.
"Senior brother, I don't know..." Gu Meng suddenly blurted out this sentence out of the blue.
But Jing Shu knew what Gu Meng hadn't finished saying, and she didn't know how to face her father, especially knowing that he also had his own difficulties.
Gu Meng was just a child under twelve years old.
“Meng’er, you’ve hit a dead end,” Jing Shu replied.
"If you don't know, don't think about it. Don't dwell on the past, focus on the present."
If you think he's alright, then accepting him is fine. If you think he's not good, then not accepting him is also fine.
He has his reasons, but that's not a reason for you to acknowledge him.
"Meng'er, it depends on you."
“Then… my mother…” Gu Meng said in a low voice.
"As for Aunt Gu, that's between the two of them. You just need to do your own thing. I believe Aunt Gu thinks the same way," Jing Shu said earnestly to Gu Meng.
Suddenly, Jing Shu reached out and pinched Gu Meng's small face, forcing Gu Meng's lips to pout.
"You really should go to sleep. Don't think so much in your little head. If you don't sleep, you won't grow taller."
"Brother west..." Gu Meng called out incoherently, his eyes full of pleading.
Seeing this, Jing Shu's eyes flashed with a smile, and he released his hand.
"Understood, Senior Brother." Gu Meng rubbed his face. "I won't think about it anymore. As for the future, that depends on his own performance!"
Jing Shu crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction.
“But Senior Brother’s words really sound like a mother educating her daughter. How about I stop calling Senior Brother ‘Master’ and start calling him ‘Master’s Wife’ instead?” Gu Meng tilted her head with a mischievous grin.
Jing Shu raised an eyebrow. "What, want to spar with your senior brother?"
"No, no!" Gu Meng quickly shook her head and said with a grin, "I'm going to sleep now! Goodnight, senior brother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Meng pounced on the bed and quickly burrowed under the covers.
Jing Shu shook his head helplessly and closed the window for Gu Meng.
"Good night."
.......
"Did you hear that?" Han Luo looked at the person in front of her with a cold expression.
"Yes, thank you, Venerable One." Bei Yan'an stood on the wall and solemnly bowed to Han Luo.
“Thank you for taking care of her over the past ten years, Venerable One. The slap you gave her yesterday was justified.”
Han Luo snorted coldly, "She is my disciple. If I don't take care of her, who will? Besides, I don't want to waste my breath on someone who doesn't even have memories."
“Yes, Your Excellency is right. May I take her out for a stroll tomorrow?” Bei Yan’an asked tentatively.
"You shouldn't have asked me." Han Luo saw Jing Shu walking towards them, turned around and jumped down.
"That depends on whether Meng'er agrees or not."
Bei Yan'an stood alone on the wall, quietly letting out a sigh of relief, and turned back to the Regent's Palace.
Fortunately, he still has a chance to make it up to his daughter.
Even though so many people care about Meng'er, and she may not need him, he wants to be nicer to her, even nicer, to make up for the more than ten years he has been absent.
Even if Meng'er still doesn't acknowledge him in the end, he deserves it.
Upon returning to the Regent's Palace, Bei Yan'an summoned all the Shadow Guards. Except for Shadow One, who was still in the palace, the rest were all there.
Sixteen people knelt respectfully on one knee, waiting for Bei Yan'an to give orders.
However, after a long pause, Bei Yan'an finally spoke, "Do you know what in Chang'an is suitable for a girl who is just over ten years old to play with?"
The shadow guards: "Huh???"
The prince summoned them all here, just for this?!
Bei Yan'an coughed twice. There was nothing he could do; at this hour, all the servants in the mansion were asleep, so he had no choice but to ask them.
Although he had been in Chang'an for quite some time, he hadn't really explored much of the city, let alone visited the places young girls liked to go...
Hearing Bei Yan'an cough twice, the shadow guards finally realized what was going on. But how could they possibly know where the little girl liked to go?
In the eerily quiet silence, Ying Shiqi quietly raised her head. "Your Highness, the young lady would probably enjoy boating on the lake, painting, and applying cosmetics. May I ask which young lady Your Highness wishes to take out for a stroll?"
"It's none other than your young mistress, my daughter."
The shadow guards: "!!!"
When did the master have a little master?! He's already over ten years old!
The shadow guards showed no expression on their faces, but their hearts were screaming wildly.
Bei Yan'an had no idea what the shadow guards were thinking, so he simply dismissed them and sat down at his desk to think seriously.
Boating on the lake, painting, applying rouge and powder...
Will she like it?
