“In a few days, I will be leaving Tianjing. I’ll tidy up some of the matters at home to hand over to others.”
Gu Qingluan sat in the study, with tall account books piled up on the desk.
The dowry she retrieved from the Gu family last time included not only gold and silver jewelry but also some estates, fields, and shops.
All of these were now under her name.
Feng Tianlan furrowed his brow. “You’re about to get married, and you’re still busy with these things? What about Su Lie and Bo He? If they can’t handle it, I can find someone to help you.”
“It’s fine, handling these matters is quick, and Su Lie and Bo He have already organized them. 1 mainly need to review them and make some arrangements.” Gu Qingluan smiled and placed the account book she just finished reading on the left side, then took another one from the right and started reading.
She read extremely fast, almost at a glance, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to finish one account book.
Feng Tianlan was still unhappy and took away the account book she was currently reading.
“What are you doing?”
Gu Qingluan looked up at him helplessly.
“In just two more days, we’re getting married, and you’re not the least bit nervous?” Feng Tianlan asked, clearly displeased.
“Isn’t it common for brides to be a bit jittery before their wedding day? Yet here you are, with spare time to look at account books!”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “What’s there to be nervous about?”
Feng Tianlan’s gaze grew serious. “You’re really not nervous?”
He assumed she would have at least some jitters, even if she didn’t show it outwardly. However, based on what she was saying, it seemed like she was completely calm.
Gu Qingluan replied with a touch of irony. “Oh, I’m very nervous. My heart is pounding like crazy, so nervous that it’s about to jump out.”
Anyone with even a hint of understanding could easily detect the insincere tone.
Feng Tianlan’s face darkened a bit, and he suddenly lowered his head, getting closer to her chest.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but lean back, her back against the back of the chair. “What are you doing?”
“Just checking if you’re really so nervous that your heart is about to jump out,” Feng Tianlan said calmly.
Gu Qingluan was speechless.
The other person had gotten too close, and the familiar and enticing cold fragrance surrounded Gu Qingluan.
Her heart involuntarily started beating faster.
It wasn’t so easy for her to get flustered before, but ever since that three-day and three-night soul cultivation deep in the Death Mountain Range, her body had become peculiar. Whenever she got close to him, strange and uncontrollable situations would easily occur.
She pushed his head, covered in black hair, away with a sudden movement.
“Stop messing around! I’m busy right now!”
Feng Tianlan straightened up, his lips curling up, and a joyful glint flickered in his narrow eyes. “Hmm, 1 believe what you just said, you are indeed nervous.”
Gu Qingluan’s face suddenly turned red. She absolutely was not!
Clearly, he had gotten too close!
But she couldn’t say that out loud; if he heard it, she didn’t know how smug he would become.
So, she could only bear this humiliation.
She didn’t want him to keep dwelling on this point, so she quickly changed the topic. “Have you always been like this with Miss Yu?”
Feng Tianlan asked, “Huh?”
“Just now, 1 saw that she seemed close to tears.”
“What does it have to do with me?”
Well, that was a pointless question.
From the first time she met him, he had a bad temper.
It was really unfair that a man like him could even get a wife.
But then she thought about it; she was the one marrying him. Gu Qingluan felt that she shouldn’t say such things.
After all, what did that make her?
Seeing him idling around, she turned her eyes and pushed the pile of account books on the table in front of him. “If you’re done with your business, help me take a look at these account books..”
