Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the first time Gu Yundong had heard of such a thing.
However, this happened before she escaped, so she tried her best to recall it. She had no impression of it at all.
How would Shao Qingyuan know something that even she didn’t know?
She eyed him suspiciously, his face tight. “Who told you I had a fiance?”
“Yunshu told me.” That was why he had rushed here and caught up with her in Yongning Prefecture.
He was afraid that she would not only bring Gu Dajiang back, but also a strange man.
Gu Yundong was stunned. Did Yunshu say that?
Where did that brat get such unreliable news?
Gu Yundong glanced at Shao Qingyuan and turned to ask Madam Yang, who was compiling a puzzle, “Mother, have I been engaged before?”
Madam Yang looked up in confusion. “Engaged? Dongdong is engaged? To whom?”
Gu Yundong spread his hands at Shao Qingyuan. “I don’t have a fiance, and my mother doesn’t have any impression of him. If it was decided by my father, he would definitely tell my mother and me.”
Shao Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. “I understand. I might have misheard. I’ll go back to my room to rest first. If you need anything, just call me.”
Gu Yundong watched him walk out stiffly. When he heard the sound of the door opening and closing, he could not help but laugh.
“Dongdong, what are you laughing at? Ah, fiance, Shao Qingyuan?”
“Cough…” Gu Yundong choked on her own saliva. She looked at the shocked Madam Yang and quickly shook her head. “No, Mother, you’re thinking too much. Come, come, let’s solve the puzzle. After we finish this, I’ll make another one later and draw our family of five, okay?”
As expected, Madam Yang’s attention was diverted. Thinking of the family of five, she immediately nodded. “Then I want to draw it. It’s very big, so big.”
Gu Yundong nodded and sat beside her to play with her.
However, Shao Qingyuan lay on the bed after returning to his room. He relaxed, smiled, and fell asleep in a second.
Perhaps it was because he had not had a good rest for a long time, he only woke up when the sky turned dark.
By the time he went downstairs, the inn’s chefs had gone to bed. He rubbed his stomach and had no choice but to return to his room to take out the bag he carried. He found the hard pancake inside and took a difficult bite.
She was taking her second bite when there was a knock on the door frame.
He looked up and saw Gu Yundong leaning against the open door with his arms crossed.
“I’m hungry. I’ll cook some supper. What do you want to eat?”
Shao Qingyuan immediately put down the pancake. “Anything is fine.” After a pause, he said, “Egg fried rice.” That was simple.
“Start the fire,” she said, and was gone.
Shao Qingyuan tidied his bag, closed the door, and followed Gu Yundong downstairs.
Shao Qingyuan was quite agile with the fire. He sat quietly beside the stove and listened to the sound of eggs being added to the pot. Neither of them spoke, but his gaze kept glancing at Gu Yundong.
For some reason, Shao Qingyuan felt that something was different when he saw her again.
Although it was supper, Gu Yundong only took a small bowl. The rest went into Shao Qingyuan’s stomach.
He naturally knew that she had deliberately cooked it for him.
After staying at the inn for the night, the three of them packed their things early the next morning and left Yongning Prefecture for Jiangyu County. The Gu Village was under Jiangyu County..
