Chapter 157 I Miss You
She packed these meals to send to Gu Peiyan.
Gu Peiyan said they would be very busy these next few days.
Even if you're very busy, you should still have time to eat, right?
She's bringing him food, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
This is a good opportunity for her to meet Gu Peiyan.
She slept relatively well for the first two days before he "worked overtime".
She could roll around on a big bed as she pleased.
But on the third night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She missed Gu Peiyan.
She wanted to see him.
If she could have controlled this thought before, then the girl she glimpsed before leaving the Tang residence, who rushed into her cousin Tang's arms with a worried expression, was the catalyst for this thought.
Xiao Wu pouted resentfully: "Ningbao, you're becoming more and more of a womanizer than a friend. Have you forgotten who it is..."
"Alright, just kidding. How could I forget you? There are two portions here. After delivering them to Gu Peiyan, we'll go home for dinner." Wei Dongning knew what Xiao Wu was going to say without even guessing, and directly interrupted its spellcasting.
Hearing that there was a share for her, Xiao Wu regained her usual playful smile: "Then I won't keep you on your date~ I'll go home and wait for you."
Wei Dongning was amused by its tone and wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it in and didn't laugh out loud.
While it might seem like Xiao Wu is clueless, sometimes it acts like it knows everything.
It's not that it understands everything; she has to translate many things for it.
But Xiao Wu has a magical power that makes people feel joyful when they see it.
There were hardly any pedestrians coming and going in front of the Imperial Censorate gate.
With Xiao Fu's help, Wei Dongning jumped down from the carriage.
Then he stood there and waited for Xiao Fu to knock on the door.
The person inside responded quickly. Wei Dongning was standing a little far away from them and couldn't hear what Xiao Fu and the person were saying.
He only gave them a polite smile when Xiao Fu turned around and pointed at him.
"Young Madam, that man asked us to wait a moment while he went to call the young master out."
"The weather is nice today, let's wait here for a while."
"I thought they would invite us in to sit down."
"On a normal day, it would probably be. But it's a special occasion now."
Fortunately, Gu Peiyan didn't keep them waiting too long; she quickly walked out of the door shortly afterward.
When she saw that the person she had been longing for was indeed waiting outside the door, she couldn't help but slow down.
Wei Dongning stood there, smiling and waving at him: "What are you standing there for? Come here."
Gu Peiyan was now certain that he wasn't hallucinating. He quickly walked over to her and placed his large hand on the back of her hand.
Noticing that her temperature was slightly lower than usual, his tone inevitably carried a hint of reproach: "It's getting colder, why didn't you wear more clothes before going out? Have you had lunch yet?"
"Oh dear, there's a carriage right outside, I'm not cold at all. I just missed you. I'll go back for dinner in a bit. Oh right, I hope coming over won't interfere with your work?"
Hearing her say that she missed him, Gu Peiyan felt a ripple of emotion and softened her tone: "It won't affect anything. I can return to the manor in two more days."
"Are you all done with your work?"
"very soon."
Having seen him and learned his approximate return time, Wei Dongning did not want to waste his time here.
She reached out and took the food box from Xiao Fu's hand, stuffed it into Gu Peiyan's arms, and condensed what she wanted to say into a few sentences.
His mouth, as if it were rented and eagerly returned, chattered on and on: "Some things happened today, I'll tell you slowly when you get home. I've prepared some food, take it inside and eat with your colleagues. I won't stay here and bother you any longer."
After saying that, she grabbed Xiao Fu and was about to leave, completely ignoring the gazes of the people behind her.
Only after that figure got into the carriage did Gu Peiyan pick up the food box, turn around, and walk back to the Censorate.
"What is Xiao Gu holding in his hand?"
"It looks like a food box."
"Brother Gu is truly blessed. His wife is worried that he is not getting enough rest and brings him meals. He is the envy of everyone."
"Who can disagree? I'm so envious."
Envious voices kept reaching Gu Peiyan's ears, filling him with pride.
I had this urge to put down the food box in my hand and shout to everyone, "That's right, it was all a gift from my wife, aren't you envious?"
But his long-standing self-restraint prevented him from saying it.
Zhong Hongwei caught a glimpse of him returning out of the corner of his eye, stopped copying what he was doing, pointed to the food box in his hand, and chuckled softly: "A gift from Madam?"
"Yes."
"This little girl from the Wei family was a lively and unrestrained child. After getting married, she matured a lot and learned to care for others."
Gu Peiyan paused slightly, then replied earnestly, "A Ning has always been very good."
Zhong Hongwei laughed heartily when he heard what he said: "Good, you two young couple should get along well, and just don't let the relationship between your father and father-in-law affect you. Those two have been at odds ever since they entered the government. They've been arguing for so many years, don't they get tired of it?"
After expressing his feelings, Zhong Hongwei placed the calligraphy brush he had been holding on the table and announced to the crowd below, "Everyone, go and have your meal first, and then continue after a rest."
Upon learning that they could finally rest, everyone got up and left.
After a morning of mental work, they were already starving.
Gu Peiyan also carried her food box and slowly followed behind the group, all the way to the dining area.
He placed the food box on the table, opened it, and laid out the still-steaming plates inside: "Let's all eat together."
Chen Mingde was the first among the group to start eating.
With chopsticks hovering over the plate, she looked up at Gu Peiyan and said, "I'm really not going to be polite."
"Eat."
With Chen Mingde taking the lead, everyone stopped being reserved.
Throughout the meal, everyone chatted and laughed.
Most of the comments were praising Gu Peiyan for marrying a good wife.
When Wei Dongning got home, the dishes she had left behind were almost completely cold.
I had no choice but to endure my hunger and let Xiao Fu take them to the kitchen to heat them up before bringing them back.
"If I had known I was going to go hungry, I wouldn't have gone to the Censorate to deliver food to Gu Peiyan." Wei Dongning lay on the table, listlessly swinging Xiao Wu's cat toy.
Xiao Wu chased after the feathers on the cat toy, panting heavily, but still managed to reply, "No. Even if you knew you'd go hungry, you'd still go."
"why?"
"Because you're love-struck," Xiao Wu said casually.
But Wei Dongning couldn't find a rebuttal.
She readily admitted, "I am indeed love-struck, but I am. Someone was clamoring to learn human emotions a while ago, saying they wanted to transform into human form and experience the feeling of being in love, but now they're just playing with a cat toy here."
Xiao Wu was stunned. Xiao Wu wanted to argue, Xiao Wu...
Autism.
After a long while, Xiao Wu finally mustered up the courage to face her again, cheering himself on: "You wait, one day I will succeed!"
