Chapter 198 Pearl Necklace
Xiao Wu slept all day and didn't wake up until the afternoon.
He jumped down to Wei Dongning, who was wiping her sword, yawned widely, and then told her his observation: "He really stayed in the side room all night and didn't go out."
“I told you he couldn’t, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
Xiao Wu refused to believe that Su Yizhuo would really be unmoved after being kicked out of the bedroom, and stayed up all night to keep watch.
It turned out that apart from venting his frustration in the side room and falling asleep from anger, he made no other sound.
No, there are still some.
He got up once in the middle of the night.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up at that moment.
They thought he was planning to sneak back to the master bedroom while Zhong Shuyue was asleep.
He got up, sat against the headboard for a while, drank some water at the table, then took Xiaohua out of the cat's bed, hugged her, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Xiao Wu really wanted to possess Xiao Hua's body for a short while and use its paw to slap him.
Wei Dongning put down the handkerchief in her hand and ruffled Xiao Wu's hair twice: "Why do you seem a little disappointed?"
"No, it's just that, according to common sense, once someone loses face, they always have to get it back." Who would have thought that Su Yizhuo would be so calm and collected.
Wei Dongning pursed her lips noncommittally.
Even if her brother suffers a lot of anger, he'll just complain a couple of times and then it'll all be over.
Unless you really touch a nerve.
"Well, it seems I haven't met enough people."
As the daughter of the supreme god, she was pampered and cherished by those people from childhood to adulthood.
Although its identity belongs to the system, this is the first time it has been assigned a task.
The only people it knows and has come into contact with are those it has met since coming into this world.
It seems that its plan to become human will have to be postponed for a while longer.
Wei Dongning chuckled and poked Xiao Wu's head: "Alright, you're already doing great. You can learn the rest slowly."
Xiao Wu quickly recovered from its slightly dejected mood, jumped to its food bowl, and indicated that it was hungry.
Xiao Fu quickly went to find its food and poured it into its bowl.
Seeing Xiao Wu eating so heartily, Xiao Fu finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Young Madam, you say Xiao Wu is eating so deliciously, but is its food actually good?"
"I don't know, it should taste good, right?"
"Ah..." Xiao Fu turned her head back, her gaze fixed intently on the rice bowl.
Xiao Wu was stared at so intently that he felt uneasy.
They subtly moved a little distance to the side.
They ate much faster now.
She even mentally pleaded with Wei Dongning, "Help me, Ningbao! I feel like Sister Xiaofu is going to steal my food!"
Wei Dongning received the signal, coughed lightly, and attracted Xiao Fu's attention: "Xiao Fu, I think I'm alright to you, young mistress?"
"The young mistress treats me incredibly well!"
"What delicious food do you want to eat? Should I take you to eat it?"
"Yes."
"Then you shouldn't covet Xiao Wu's things, okay? Be good."
Embarrassed, Xiao Fu scratched his head and straightened up after being caught out.
After thinking for a moment, she still defended herself by saying, "Actually, I didn't really want to eat it; I was just a little curious."
"I know."
Cat owners are more or less curious about the taste of cat food.
Many people have tried cat food.
Everyone can understand that.
She had considered this idea before, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't dare to take action.
Time passed slowly, and as Wei Dongning watched the sky gradually darken outside, a sense of doubt arose in her heart.
By this time normally, Gu Peiyan should have been home long ago.
But today he came home late, and didn't even send anyone back to tell him.
"Xiao Fu, go and send someone to check if Gu Peiyan is tied up with official business. Why isn't she back yet?"
"Yes, young mistress," Xiao Fu replied, got up and walked out.
Before I could even step out of the courtyard, I saw Gu Peiyan walking back with measured steps.
"Sister Xiaofu, where are you going?" Qianrong asked curiously, looking at the energetic Xiaofu.
"The young mistress asked me to go and find out why the young master hasn't returned yet."
Hearing Xiao Fu's words, Gu Peiyan felt a warmth in her heart. She took a box from Qian Rong's hand and calmly instructed them, "You may leave now."
Xiao Wu saw Gu Peiyan walking towards the room and was about to remind Wei Dongning when he heard a creak from the doorway.
Wei Dongning looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Peiyan's tall figure: "You're back."
Gu Peiyan hummed in agreement and handed over the small box in her hand: "I went to buy this, so I came back a little late."
"Hmph, I'd like to see what you bought that took you so long?" Wei Dongning muttered under her breath, but her movements as she opened the box were swift and efficient.
Immediately, I was drawn to the pearl necklace in the box, which was impeccable in both appearance and style.
Each pearl was round and lustrous, gleaming faintly in the candlelight.
In an instant, all her "complaints" were swallowed back down her throat.
Gu Peiyan slowly explained, "You said yesterday that the string of stars looked like a pearl tassel. I searched for a long time today but couldn't find the same one. Only this one looks somewhat similar."
Wei Dongning was filled with emotion at that moment.
She loves looking at the stars.
I especially enjoy letting my mind wander when I look at the stars, arranging and combining them to create new patterns in my mind.
So when I said that the string of stars looked like a tassel of pearls, it was just a casual remark, and I forgot about it as soon as I said it.
Unexpectedly, Gu Peiyan took those words to heart.
He quickly turned it into reality and gave it to her.
"Gu Peiyan!" Wei Dongning called out to him.
As he responded, a passionate kiss landed on the corner of his lips.
It makes a "pop" sound.
Xiao Wu skillfully blocked his own signal.
These two people never remember that it even exists in the house before they kiss.
It has gone from being furious at the beginning to being numb now.
Gu Peiyan put one arm around Wei Dongning's waist, and pulled her back when she tried to pull away.
He took the box from her hand with his other hand and placed it on the table next to her.
Their lips pressed together again with perfect precision.
It was a deeper and more passionate kiss than the last one.
It wasn't until Wei Dongning pinched his waist that Gu Peiyan reluctantly gave her a light peck and released her.
As her breathing gradually calmed, Gu Peiyan, her voice slightly hoarse, picked up the box again and opened it: "Shall I help you put it on?"
"it is good."
Wei Dongning turned around in his arms.
After he helped her put on the necklace, she couldn't wait to walk to the bronze mirror and admire herself from afar.
She couldn't resist showing off to Xiao Wu, saying smugly, "Xiao Wu, do you think I'm pretty?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Xiao Wu, Wei Dongning realized that she had been blocked.
It's okay, she knows she's pretty, that's enough for her.
Oh, Gu Peiyan knows that too.
Wei Dongning turned around and gave Gu Peiyan a flirtatious wink, secretly planning to prepare a gift for Gu Peiyan as well.
