My rigid, jealous husband has fallen for me, even though I'm a hopeless romantic.

Chapter 119 Hiding

Seeing that Gu Peiyan was still recalling the things written on the paper, Wei Dongning was not in a hurry. She pulled him to sit on the chair next to her and waited for him to finish reading.

There wasn't actually much written on the paper.

Most of them happened right after they got married.

As they spent more and more time together, they both learned to speak their minds directly.

Even if there are minor conflicts, they can communicate in a timely manner.

Gu Peiyan folded the paper she had finished reading and put it aside: "Actually, I have never really been angry with you."

"I know, but I can't keep taking advantage of your generosity and act recklessly, can I?"

Life is meant to be shared between two people.

It wouldn't be right to leave Gu Peiyan to suffer alone.

Shouldn't husband and wife understand each other?

Gu Peiyan was deeply moved: "Actually, I also have many shortcomings."

For example, he was always jealous of the good relationship between Wei Dongning and the Second Prince.

For example, sometimes he was also jealous of how good she was to Xiao Wu.

It's just that I didn't let her notice.

"So I think it's necessary for us to talk about these things today, so as to avoid leaving more problems for the future."

"it is good."

Wei Dongning reopened the neatly folded piece of paper and pointed to the first line: "Let's start from the first time we met."

Their first meeting was anything but pleasant.

They simply couldn't stand each other.

Gu Peiyan immediately began to apologize: "We weren't familiar with each other back then, so there was some misunderstanding. I also said some unpleasant things to you, which was my fault. I'm sorry."

"I've been ignoring you all along, which was very rude of me. I'm sorry."

As her finger slid to the second line, Wei Dongning coughed lightly: "I forgot the day you and your father went to exchange betrothal gifts, and you even went out drinking. I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Looking at her face flushed with guilt, Gu Peiyan's heart softened for a moment: "I remember you were also punished by your father-in-law and confined to the house for a long time. Now that you've been punished, I have nothing to be angry about."

Before Wei Dongning could continue, Gu Peiyan pointed to the next point and said, "Also, I heard you apologize before going to bed because you weren't feeling well this time."

Wei Dongning was clearly surprised: "You heard that?"

"Yes, I wasn't really asleep at the time." Gu Peiyan recalled the scene and chuckled softly. "You were tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so I wanted to see what you were up to."

Unexpectedly, I received an apology from someone.

He slept exceptionally soundly that night.

Wei Dongning, who started off sitting like a primary school student, eventually rested her head on Gu Peiyan's shoulder and said, "Do you think I was a little too naive back then?"

"You're still young, you'll be fine in a few more years."

"You seem like a tolerant elder who is kind to children."

“I am, after all, a few years older than you,” Gu Peiyan comforted her softly. “Besides, I know you’re not a bad person at heart.”

"Gu Peiyan, have I ever said a single word to you?"

"Ok?"

"It's so good to have you."

Wei Dongning buried her head in Gu Peiyan's neck and rubbed against it twice.

Soft strands of hair brushed against his neck, constantly tickling him.

It made him shudder uncontrollably.

"Are you a little cold?" Wei Dongning felt his shivering and tried to lift her head from his neck.

His body was much "weaker" than hers; he had just recovered from the cold he caught after soaking in cold water last time.

If I catch a cold again, it might take a while for me to recover.

But Gu Peiyan pressed her back forcefully, his large hand wrapping around her waist: "It's alright, it's just a little itchy."

"Oh."

Wei Dongning leaned quietly on Gu Peiyan's shoulder for a while, then broke free from his embrace again: "I also bought you some steamed buns. I'll ask Xiao Fu to heat them up. I wonder if leaving them out all afternoon will affect the taste."

Without giving Gu Peiyan a chance to refuse, Wei Dongning jumped off the chair and ran out in a flurry.

Gu Peiyan smiled helplessly at her retreating figure and carefully folded her "self-reproach edict" again.

It was tucked into the history books he usually read in his room.

Wei Dongning has never liked looking at these things, so she probably won't find out.

After Gu Peiyan finished doing all this, she stood up and prepared to go to the dining table to wait for Wei Dongning to return.

I don't know what I bumped into, but my knee suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"Hiss." Gu Peiyan gasped in pain.

He bent down and moved the object from under the table to the table, unwrapped the paper, revealing a long, serrated wooden board inside.

I suppose I bumped into the serrated edge.

No wonder it hurt so much.

Wei Dongning turned around and saw the object on the table. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you find this?"

What is this?

The two voices rang out at the same time.

The useless tacit understanding was on full display at this moment.

Wei Dongning burst out laughing: "This is a real treasure. I bought it especially as a gift."

"Was this prepared for me?"

“No, it’s one of the wedding gifts I’m preparing for Nao Nao.” Wei Dongning pressed her hand on the washboard: “If he ever bullies Yueyue in the future, Yueyue will make him kneel on this as punishment.”

Who says men aren't empathetic enough?

Gu Peiyan was initially a little disappointed when she heard that the gift wasn't for her.

But when he heard that he had to kneel on it, he felt a dull pain in his knees.

What started as jealousy of the Second Prince instantly turned into sympathy.

Gu Peiyan rationally grabbed Wei Dongning's wrist: "This gift is probably not very appropriate."

"I know. It's just something I used to joke with Nao Nao. I've already decided what to buy as the real wedding gift."

Two days ago, she found a pair of jade bracelets in the warehouse, which were perfect for giving as gifts.

"That's good."

Xiao Fu, who appeared carrying a food box, interrupted their conversation: "Young Master, Young Madam, dinner is ready."

Gu Peiyan was taken aback again when he heard Xiao Fu address him as such.

She tilted her head, looking at Wei Dongning with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

She really gave him a lot of surprises tonight.

Wei Dongning didn't explain anything, but pulled him to the dining table and sat him down, pushing the three buns in front of him: "Try them."

After the cold buns were reheated, the taste was slightly worse than when Wei Dongning ate them in the store.

Gu Peiyan still enjoyed her meal.

Even when she went to Gu Song's room to supervise him taking his medicine, the smile in her eyes never faded.

Gu Song placed the bowl of medicine in his hand on the coffee table next to him: "What makes you so happy?"

Gu Peiyan considered for a moment before slowly saying, "My father is in good health, which is the first blessing; and my husband and I have a harmonious life together, which is the second blessing."

"And the third one?"
