Lin Wei Xi slept very deeply. When she was sleeping well, she was woken up by someone. Lin Wei Xi thought that Wan Xing was playing around, so she slapped the other's hand hard, muttered "Don't be noisy", and turned around to continue to sleep.
The other person seemed to sighed and said, "It's me. Outside is welcoming the New Year, first hold on for a while and then you can go back to sleep."
Lin Wei Xi felt something wrong when she heard the voice. She opened her eyelids and found that she was lying under a dark curtain, and because her sleeping posture was never stable, she almost completely squeezed into the other person's arms.
Lin Wei Xi got up a little dazedly, just happened to meet Gu Hui Yan's eyes. Lin Wei Xi looked at Gu Hui Yan in a daze. Her squishy mind finally sobered up and she quickly looked around at the other people in the room.
Fortunately, the room was very quiet. The sound of firecrackers outside, almost converging into a sea of sound. People seemed to be attracted by the excitement, all went outside to watch the fireworks. Inside there was no one else except for her and Gu Hui Yan.
But beside Gu Hui Yan how could there be no one around? Lin Wei Xi was a little embarrassed, obviously because Gu Hui Yan drove the people outside. In this way, wouldn't everyone know that she fell asleep while keeping watch for the changing year, and she was still conveniently nestled in Gu Hui Yan's arms?
Oh my God, Lin Wei Xi didn't dare to think about it anymore. How she gave orders in front of her servants in the future, no need to go that far, just going out now, how could she face the maids and grannies outside, and even her son and daughter-in-law was enough headache.
Lin Wei Xi whimpered and knocked her head dejectedly: "Wangye, why don't you wake me up?"
After saying this, Lin Wei Xi knew the answer herself. It was quite troublesome to wake her up, and in front of everyone, what would Gu Hui Yan say? Lin Wei Xi felt a little apologetic. This was her omission, instead she questioned Gu Hui Yan. However, Gu Hui Yan didn't have a trace of impatience. He didn't care about Lin Wei Xi's complaint, but said very seriously: "There is no need. You usually go to bed early at this time. Since you are sleepy then sleep for a while, there is no need to bear it."
Gu Hui Yan always puts himself in the other people's shoes and very considerate. Lin Wei Xi was very moved. She just woke up and stretched out a little bit, then hugged Gu Hui Yan and leaned back to where she was just now. She slept here for a long time, and the stiff silky fabric was slightly warmed by her. Lin Wei Xi couldn't help rubbing against it. Gu Hui Yan's laugh could be heard from the top.
"As soon as you wake up you acted like a spoiled child. There are people outside."
Lin Wei Xi originally planned to stop while she's ahead, but when Gu Hui Yan said this, Lin Wei Xi instead hugged him and refused to move. Lin Wei Xi tilted her face from Gu Hui Yan's chest and blinked at him deliberately, "Didn't Wangye drove people outside? What are you afraid of?"
According to Gu Hui Yan's standard for many years, it was taboo to wear disheveled clothes and improper posture in public. Lin Wei Xi has committed both of them now. Gu Hui Yan should corrected her seriously and instructed her to sit upright, but at this moment Gu Hui Yan looked at the little wife who acted coquettishly in his arms, and was reluctant to correct her for a while.
Gu Hui Yan's short pause gave Lin Wei Xi a chance to win an inch want a foot. Seeing that Gu Hui Yan didn't speak, she knew that although he looked noble and strict, but he enjoyed some of her petty tricks, he just refused to say it. There was no one here anyway, since Lin Wei Xi had started might as well carry it through, and immediately stretched out her hand to wrap Gu Hui Yan's neck. Like this all her strength was on her waist, and her waistline had a beautiful and alluring twist. However, this scene was invisible from Lin Wei Xi's angle. Gu Hui Yan put his hand on Lin Wei Xi's waist. Just then Lin Wei Xi leaned against Gu Hui Yan's ear and said softly, "Wangye, this is our second year of marriage. Happy New Year."
Gu Hui Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Wei Xi. The two were very close to each other, breathing each other. Lin Wei Xi's intention was to deliberately provocative, but now she looked at Gu Hui Yan's gaze, she couldn't help being a little scared, and even faintly regretted recklessly advancing just now.
There was an overwhelming sound of fireworks outside, it seemed that the young manservants brought a new batch of fireworks and lit them together. The undercurrent in Gu Hui Yan's eyes disappeared, and he hugged Lin Wei Xi on his lap, so that she would not keep leaning on her waist to support her body. Gu Hui Yan straightened the hairpin on the side of Lin Wei Xi's hair, and said: "In a year it's rare to have today's excitement. Let's go out and watch the fireworks."
Lin Wei Xi thought the same thing. She was passed the age of being curious about fireworks, but as the Wangfei and mistress, in the moment for leaving the old and welcoming the new she did not appear in front of everyone in the mansion, this was very inappropriate. Lin Wei Xi had planned to call Wan Xing and Wan Yue in, but perhaps because the sound of firecrackers outside was so loud that the maid at the door didn't hear it. Lin Wei Xi was embarrassed and was about to call again, but Gu Hui Yan had already picked up her cloak, buttoned her carefully, and straightened out the fine fluff on her coat.
Lin Wei Xi suddenly became silent. She watched Gu Hui Yan's movements silently. When he buttoned the buttons, Lin Wei Xi reached out to take it, but was stopped by Gu Hui Yan. When he finally tidied it up to his satisfaction, he reached out and touched the top of her head, with a smile in his eyes: "Let's go."
Lin Wei Xi's hand was already held in his arm, and she was led out like this. It was strange to say that no one could hear the call from the room, but as soon as the door was opened, the servants who were unknown what they were doing just now immediately looked over and saluted Lin Wei Xi one by one. The wind outside was a bit strong, and the fluff on the hood danced wildly in the night breeze. Half of Lin Wei Xi's face was covered by white fur. It was too cold to stretch out her hand, so she only nodded slightly at the salute, indicating that she had heard.
With such a large main courtyard of Yan Wang Mansion, coupled with the strong night wind and the blast of firecrackers, the changes in one corner of the courtyard were really hard to notice. But when Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan came out, the people in the courtyard immediately realized. Although Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran stood far away, the moment the door opened, the corner of their eyes followed closely. Soon after, Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan appeared, and the two came out together.
Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran had moved to another room early on to waited for the New Year. Lin Wei Xi fell asleep on Yan Wang's lap, this kind of scene was not suitable for them to look at. However, people were like this. Sometimes the more invisible, the easier it was to let the imagination roam free. As soon as leaving the old and welcome the new, when the whole city released the firecrackers out, Gao Ran waited outside for a quarter of an hour before seeing the two showed up.
Although Gao Ran stood outside with a smile, accepting everyone's congratulations, but as long as she thought of the scenes inside the main house, she still felt disgusted all over her body. What was it like to watch your father-in-law and mother-in-law show affection? This question, afraid that apart from Gao Ran, only Gu Cheng Yao could only tell.
TN: I think Gao Ran thought that GHY and LWX had a quicky in that room LOL
For the past eighteen years, Gu Cheng Yao's impression of his father has always been righteous, solemn and imposingly inviolable. Gu Hui Yan also perfectly supported all Gu Cheng Yao's imagination of his father. Gu Cheng Yao respected and admired his father from the bottom of his heart. But Gu Cheng Yao didn't expect that his father would pay attention to the other woman's movements all the way. Gu Cheng Yao was also there at the time. Of course he could see that Yan Wang had been paying attention to Lin Wei Xi, even Lin Wei Xi's small actions could not be hidden from his father. And his father, who had always been indifferent and cold, would be careful and meticulous, just like treating a peerless treasure, placing the woman's body carefully on his lap.
A year ago, if someone told Gu Cheng Yao that Yan Wang would be this considerate, Gu Cheng Yao would have sneered at them, but now, he was speechless.
Especially when Gu Cheng Yao realized that this unspeakable complexity was not directed at Lin Wei Xi, but at his father, Gu Hui Yan. Although Gu Hui Yan didn't say it clearly at that time, no one dared to stay. Gu Hui Yan didn't allow anyone to see what Lin Wei Xi looked like after falling asleep, but he himself stayed in the room for an hour. Gu Cheng Yao suddenly realized what he was thinking. His fist beside him clenched tightly. At this moment, a cold wind blew. Gu Cheng Yao covered it up by taking a deep breath of the cold air, let his drowsy mind because of staying up late to calm down.
Now that they saw them, Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran would definitely come forward to salute their parents and pay New Year's greetings. Although they were standing at the same place, they had their own thoughts in their hearts, and along the way they feel a little bit of the same bed with different dreams.
Lin Wei Xi was wearing a scarlet cloak, only her hood surrounded by a circle of fluffy white fur. She stood under the vermilion corridor, her body looked slender, in the silence it carried an awe-inspiring expression, simply like Zhaojun come to life, a goddess descended to the world. Seeing Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao coming over to pay respect, she just nodded slightly, and then turned her gaze back to look at the dark night sky.
At this time, the night was already very deep, the air was cold, and when breathing there was a strong smell of fire. This was a unique taste of the New Year. Of course, the fireworks in Yan Wang Mansion were prepared in many ways. Some young manservants diligently moved the cannon barrels to the courtyard, and then stretched their arms to light the fuse. The maids stood under the winding corridor with their ears covered. Seeing the young man lighting firecrackers, shouting and jumping, they didn't know whether they were afraid or delighted.
Lin Wei Xi looked at such a lively scene, unconsciously a little fascinated, and her sleepiness had long since disappeared. Wan Xing was so lively she couldn't held back for a long time, so she asked for a piece of incense and lit fireworks in the courtyard. Lin Wei Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Lin Wei Xi was standing on the corridor, she didn't look at anyone, but many people were secretly paid attention to her. Now the beautiful Wangfei, who did not look like a real person, smiled. Many people who set off the fireworks were encouraged to change their methods to light the fireworks, hoping to win Wangfei's attention.
Wan Xing's playing was really unruly. Although Wan Yue was happy for her, she was steady by nature and always more thoughtful. Wan Yue called Wan Xing back and said, "There are so many servants in the garden to take care such things. You mix with them to light fireworks, what is this called? You can take a break. It's important to serve Wangfei."
Wan Xing was in the middle of playing around, and she was reluctant to be called back, but she also knew that Wan Yue was doing it for her own good. Wan Xing grumbled and handed the incense stick to the little maid next to her. However, before she was gloomy for two seconds, she saw Lin Wei Xi and she became excited again: "Wangfei, you are awake?"
Lin Wei Xi pursed her lip and smiled coldly, just pretend to reply to cover up her embarrassment. Wan Xing didn't notice this, she was excited like she was shot with chicken blood: "Wangfei, it's a pity that there are no children in the mansion, so the fireworks can only be set to the little servant. After a few years, the little masters will run all over the place, at that time the New Year will be lively with fireworks!"
Lin Wei Xi had been standing with Gu Hui Yan since she came out, but the noise outside was so loud that she couldn't hear unless people shouting. With the sound of firecrackers concealing it, Lin Wei Xi and her maid did not appear abruptly speaking, but now that Wan Xing, this dim-witted, said such things, Lin Wei Xi quickly glanced at Gu Hui Yan and found that he was still looking ahead, didn't look like listening. She was relieved, and immediately glared at Wan Xing.
Regarding children Lin Wei Xi's attitude had always been to let nature take its course. After all, this was a clansmen society, and if a woman wanted to survive, heirs couldn't be avoided. But Lin Wei Xi knew that her identity was sensitive. Would Yan Wang let her give birth to an heir? It was alright if it's a daughter, what if it's a son?
Lin Wei Xi didn't want to think deeply about this issue, so she never allowed the maid to mention it in front of Yan Wang, even by accident it was still out of the question. She didn't want Gu Hui Yan to think that she was suggesting something.
This was something she had long understand, but at this moment, her excitement because of the New Year suddenly fell, and the endless fireworks before her seemed to lose its appeal. Lin Wei Xi couldn't help being distracted, staring at one spot with a dazed eye, suddenly a fierce firecrackers sounded behind her. Lin Wei Xi was taken aback and took a step back in panic.
Fortunately, the frightened people were not in minority. The yard was full of screams, Lin Wei Xi's lost of composure was nothing. She fell a step backwards, and before she recovered from the shock, she felt her arm being supported, and then her ears became warm, the deafening firecrackers instantly moved away from her.
Lin Wei Xi's violent beating heart slowly settled down, her ears were blocked, and the sound of her heartbeat was particularly obvious. Beat after beat, its presence in her chest was very strong. Gu Hui Yan was much taller than Lin Wei Xi, and now he slightly bent over to cover Lin Wei Xi's ears. Not only her ears was not distressed, but she could also clearly feel Gu Hui Yan's body temperature on her back. As if the whole person was wrapped in his arms, as if the fire and loud noises outside were not to be feared. She just appreciated the beauty of the fireworks, and without worrying about the noise caused by the beauty.
Lin Wei Xi pursed her lips, and finally did not struggle, rather let Gu Hui Yan half hug herself in front of everyone. The magnificent and noisy firecrackers exploded quickly, as bright sparks like peacocks sounded in the courtyard, all of this was indescribably lively and beautiful. Lin Wei Xi took advantage of the darkness to cover it up, and the corners of her mouth quietly tilted up.
Yes, the New Year was here. Last year's New Year was not a pleasant one. In December she was struck to death by a hopeless marriage. She died at only seventeen after being married less than a year. When she woke up again, although she was lucky enough to continue to live, she faced Lin Wei Xi's difficult family situation, it was also difficult for her to celebrate her first new year with peace of mind. But Yuanjia fifth year had passed. In this year, she met Yan Wang whom she had never met in her previous life, gave up all her previous life and its halo, and had no choice but to return to this mansion that brought her both glory and pain. But in the sixth year of Yuanjia, in Gu Hui Yan's arms that seemed like carrying a cold air, she welcomed the first day of the New Year.
