Li Cheng casually scooped up a bowl of soup for Gu Qingci and placed it in front of her.
While saying: "Eat quickly, lest it gets cold." He has a eating habit of eating less at night, and he just ate again, so he doesn't move his chopsticks much now.
It's just because Mammy Zhang asked him to come here in person, so she couldn't say no to it.
Eating with Gu Qingci is just an excuse, it's not hard to imagine.
If he can't use it, it doesn't prevent him from picking up vegetables for the little girl in front of him.
Gu Qingci's expression was very awkward, probably because he was not used to sitting with Li Chengze like this.
But at least he didn't turn his face and frown like before. His face was normal, but he didn't smile.
Seeing that Li Cheng didn't seem to be planning to say anything first, Gu Qingci didn't know whether to be discouraged or relieved.
But he was really hungry, so he didn't care about him anymore, he picked up the bowl reluctantly, took a few sips, and then started to eat.
She was quiet all the time, and she didn't speak during the eating process. Li Cheng was afraid of her embarrassment, so he helped add a chopstick dish from time to time.
The small kitchen in the west courtyard must make what Gu Qingci likes to eat, so don't worry about picking up dishes she doesn't like.
However, Gu Qingci was shocked while holding the bowl. Because of Li Chengze's behavior.
How does he pick up vegetables and ladle soup for himself? Still so calm
Gu Qingci has never seen such a man. Her father and her mother are in the same situation in the Hou's mansion. They haven't eaten together a few times in a year, let alone have such an intimate behavior. .
So I was a little bit shocked, but when I talked about it, I actually didn't feel repulsed, but felt like being hurt by others.
While eating, he was thinking wildly, and couldn't help but look up at Li Chengze.
Then Gu Qingci discovered that what Zhang Nanny said was true at all, and that Li Chengze did have a handsome and extraordinary face, which was very good-looking.
She took a few more glances.
Li Cheng noticed the person's gaze and looked down.
Gu Qingci immediately lowered his head as soon as his eyes came into contact with each other, as if to divert his attention, he gorged on rice.
He thought to himself, when this man didn't speak, and his face was expressionless, he looked a little frightening.
If you are absent-minded, if you accidentally forget to restrain yourself, you will eat too much.
He even returned a meal!
It was Li Cheng who watched Gu Qingci eat happily and helped her refill.
From Li Cheng's point of view, people in their teens are growing their bodies, and it's normal to eat as much as they want.
Gu Qingci cared about it, she was very annoyed, and regardless of her shyness, she raised her head and stared straight at Li Chengze's face with some resentment.
See if he has contempt, dislike and disdain.
Li Chengze was confused, and after a while, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?" He wasn't very good when he was eating, so why did he get angry again.
No wonder it is said that the face of a child changes as soon as it changes.
Can't guess at all.
"It's okay." Gu Qingci was depressed, so she pushed the kang table forward, got off the kang with her shoes on, and ran out at once.
She didn't want to wash her hands and mouth in front of Li Chengze, so she didn't ask Yuchuan to come in to serve her, and went to the side room to tidy up by herself.
At the end of September, even though it was a little cold in the evening, Gu Qingci was wearing a thin jacket, just now he ate a meal again, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
After washing her face, she returned to the Nuan Pavilion.
The food on the table has been removed and cleaned up.
Gu Qingci pulled up her sleeves, raised her head, and said to Li Chengze: "The mother said, you are not allowed to sleep in the west room again."
When she said these words, there was no shyness on her face, it was straightforward, and it was taken for granted.
He also couldn't adjust his identity as a married man, and his tone was a command or an order.
Li Cheng was surprised for a moment, then calmed down again, and just said: "Mother Zhang said that? What about you, or is this what you thought too?"
Li Chengze is an adult man, so he doesn't know what Zhang Nanny means by saying this.
As for Gu Qingci's attitude of always being superior...
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes.
Gu Qingci continued to say proudly: "I don't like to control your affairs, but I just don't let me lose face!"
then snorted
Li Cheng took a deep look at Gu Qingci.
Suddenly there was an idea in my heart.
With a calm face, he slowly said: "You can do whatever you say, it's up to you."
Not long after Li Cheng left.
Gu Qingci was silent for a long time, then suddenly became violent again, stood up, picked up a teacup and threw it on the ground with a bang.
When the master loses his temper, all the servants in the room become more cautious and walk more lightly.
Yuzhu came over to comfort her, "Grandma, what's the matter, who made you angry again, it's hurting your liver and nerves, don't be angry. Listen carefully to the room of the uncle, the uncle didn't like you to throw things last time."
Gu Qing didn't know what was wrong, and when he mentioned Li Chengze, he said even more sharply: "What is he, even if he dares to be my master, even if I drop everything in this house, that's me. My own things have not touched a single cent of his Li family!"
Yuzhu was afraid to cover Gu Qingci's mouth, and said urgently in a low voice: "Grandma, I don't want to say that, it's not good for people to hear!"
Gu Qingci still sneered, "I'm afraid I won't hear anything, it's all the truth, what's in this house? Worth my concern? Who can't see, is so poor, just don't use my dowry to support her in the future !"
"Grandma, I beg you, please stop talking! Mammy is coming and scolding me again." Yudi stomped her feet.
And he didn't know when Li Chengze stood at the threshold, and all the words of this person fell into his ears.
When Yuzhu found Li Chengze, she was so shocked that her face turned pale.
"Uncle, uncle." She whispered.
Li Chengze's reaction was unexpected, he didn't become angry, instead he laughed lowly twice.
A gentle voice sounded like a trickle, and they nodded in cooperation: "What Ms. Gu said is that this is all yours, and there is no room for others to comment. Besides, Ms. Gu doesn't have to worry, Li is No matter how poor you are in the future, you won't take advantage of Miss Gu's money."
Gu Qingci stayed there, unable to speak at all, her face turned red and pale.
But Li Cheng seemed to say only two insignificant words.
Seeing that they didn't speak anymore, he continued on his own: "Just now I asked Yuan Bao to pack up my underwear and handed it to Miss Yuchuan to put in the bedroom, so I asked again, Miss Gu will not change it again. Have an idea?"
"It's up to you." Gu Qingci was embarrassed, spit out two words, and turned his back.
Li Cheng didn't care, so he really left.
Yuzhu didn't tell Nanny Zhang about this.
Nanny Zhang is still happy that the two have reconciled. However, when she came back from the kitchen, she found that Gu Qingci seemed to have lost her temper again, which was a bit inexplicable.
Although Li Chengze agreed to go back to the main room, he still had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible to go to rest early.
The east room is almost his small study room. After leaving Gu Qingci's place, he went back to his room to read.
At first, she felt pity for the little girl, but she found that Gu Qingci was not only simple-minded and bad-tempered, but also that she was really raised crookedly, and her mouth was very poisonous.
Such a person is not pleasant, despite her young age.
Li Cheng, because of his professional relationship, has been in contact with all kinds of students, and he has a deep understanding early on that human personality is the most complex and variable, and some of his natures are born with him.
He never dared to underestimate the malice of people.
Maliciousness sometimes has nothing to do with age.
A child with a good personality will definitely attract people's pain.
If he hadn't been bound by this marriage right away, Li Cheng might not have paid more attention to someone like Gu Qingci.
His mind is not clear, and he likes to provoke trouble.
But since the marriage could not be resolved, Li Cheng naturally had to plan well for the future.
In fact, sleeping separately is really not a long-term solution. What Gu Qingci said is correct. If someone finds out, it will be troublesome. It is difficult for the Li family to explain.
After thinking about the chores for a while, Li Chengze calmed down and read the book honestly for an hour.
I went to the house after taking a shower.
No surprise, it was very quiet inside, Gu Qing was already sleeping on the bed.
I don't know if she was really asleep or not, but Li Cheng listened to the ugly words she said just now, as long as she was a little bit shameless and guilty, she would not dare to face him at this time.
Li Cheng entered the inner room calmly, there was only an oil lamp inside, the light was dim, he didn't care, he took off his clothes and hung them on the screen, took off his shoes and went to bed.
Gu Qingci huddled into a small ball and slept in the innermost part, occupying only a little space.
The bed is big, spacious and not crowded.
Maybe it was Zhang Nanny's idea, there were no two quilts on the bed, so Li Cheng naturally had to lift the quilt that was covering Gu Qingci's body, lay down on his own, and covered it.
There was a warm scent coming from the nose, and there was a lot of it on the quilt. It seems to feel soft when you smell it, and it belongs to the girl around you.
Li Cheng felt uncomfortable for a moment. After all, he has been single for many years and rarely has the experience of sharing the same bed with others.
Li Chengze didn't fall asleep until about midnight.
The next morning, I woke up and opened my eyes.
Li Cheng had something in his arms.
Gu Qingci hugged his waist, sleeping soundly, her face was flushed and pink.
He didn't push the person away and threw him to the side, he didn't move, he was leisurely waiting for the person to wake up.
Sure enough, not long after, Gu Qingci woke up, and immediately retreated to the side with a face full of panic.
But Li Chengze suddenly said in a half-joking tone: "Miss Gu, don't throw things at my head in the future, I can't stand it again."
Without waiting to see the person's reaction, he turned around and got up, picked up his clothes and put them on one by one.
After taking care of it properly, she turned around and found that Gu Qingci was still sitting on the bed motionless, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said, "But you want my help?"
This is of course a joke.
Fortunately, hearing the commotion in the room, Yuzhu Yuchuan came in to serve him with something.
Li Cheng didn't stay here for breakfast, and went out soon.
Gu Qingci ate breakfast quietly without saying a word.
—
The east courtyard also got up early.
At the dinner table, Bai couldn't help muttering a few words to Gu Qingci, it was nothing more than dissatisfaction with her not coming to pay her respects or starting the fire herself.
Those few words were repeated over and over again, "She doesn't look like a daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law." "She has a big temper and needs to be disciplined."
But this time, Mrs. Sun let her finish talking, and then slowly said: "It will take a month or two to finish, this newlywed, let them talk about it first."
Bai's eyes lit up suddenly!
She understands the meaning of Sun's words, it's not that she doesn't care, but that she needs to cool off for a while. Whether it is the Hou family or his own son, face still has to be taken into account.
But as long as the bride is no longer the bride, it will be easy for them to discipline them again!
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!
The mother-in-law is much better than her, Bai thought to herself.
