At two o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Lili woke up naturally and got out of bed to dress and put on makeup before going downstairs.
Seeing Xu Mohan and Nan Yuesheng, she smiled and asked, "When did you guys get here?"
"We came in the morning, knew you were sleeping, so we didn’t call for you."
Long Yubei immediately arranged for a meal to be served from the kitchen, "You must be starving, right? Go eat."
"I’ll eat something first."
Nan Yuesheng stood up and headed to the side hall, sitting beside Gu Lili, she happily said, "Sister Lili, it’s so great that you could come back, I’m happy for you."
"How’s life with Ningyi on Wangchuan Mountain?"
Gu Lili lowered her head to drink her porridge, "I can tell, you look so spirited and your complexion is rosy, he must be treating you really well."
"It is truly good." Nan Yuesheng spoke with radiant eyes, "I don’t have to take care of anything, I just cook, do laundry, clean the house; life is very leisurely."
"Ningyi should start going to kindergarten, right?"
"Yes, so we asked Yu Bei to register Ningyi for us, you need a household registration to enroll in school."
"Yuesheng, people say you’re unlucky, but I think you’re fortunate." Gu Lili spoke to her seriously, "The greatest happiness for a woman is to have a warm home. Yuesheng, you need to hold onto the Third Prince, grasp your own happiness, this is something you must fight for yourself."
"I will." Although she says this, in her heart, she doesn’t dare to hope too much.
She knows herself too well.
For someone with her status to want a man like him is simply a fool’s dream.
Just because he’s good to her and her daughter, she can’t get greedy and want what she shouldn’t.
They stayed until after four o’clock before Nan Yuesheng and Xu Mohan took Nan Ningyi and left.
On the way back, Nan Yuesheng repeatedly told her daughter, "From now on, your name is Nan Ningyi..."
Although Ningyi doesn’t understand why her surname suddenly changed, she was especially obedient to her mother on this matter.
Once home, she began cooking.
Xu Mohan played with Nan Ningyi, while she busied herself in the kitchen.
By the time she finished cooking, Nan Ningyi had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Two adults sat at the dinner table.
Nan Yuesheng opened a bottle of wine, poured some for him, and also for herself, raising her glass, "Thank you for being so good to my daughter and me."
"Being so polite?" He clinked his glass with hers, taking a sip from the edge.
"I’m speaking from the heart." Nan Yuesheng drank differently compared to how he sipped; she downed hers in one gulp.
The drink burned down her throat, yet it was satisfying.
"I won’t, how can I get drunk with so little?" Nan Yuesheng said while eating, "That time, what the Tenth Prince said, was it true?"
"That you’ve never had a girlfriend before." She had wanted to confirm this with him for a long time, she just couldn’t believe it. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0velFire.ɴet
"It’s just habit being alone."
"Don’t you have... that kind of need?"
Xu Mohan paused while picking up food, "I’ve been used to a life of simplicity for too long."
Nan Yuesheng suddenly laughed, "You’re the first person I’ve met."
"You shouldn’t be. Seventh used to be too; you knew him even earlier than I did."
"But you’re the first one I’ve known about, a man like you is really too precious and wonderful, when you have a wife in the future, you’re definitely going to be so devoted." Nan Yuesheng felt that a man with such self-control in his private life is like a rare haven of purity, exceptionally rare in this era.
