"But why would he come?"

Gu Hua Jing creased her delicate eyebrows, her eyes filled with doubt. Could it be that she was here just to support him?

When Gu Hua Ran arrived, Gu Yuan Pei was calling for Feng Rong.

Feng Rong's identity was special. Although she was now the son-in-law of the Gu family, who would dare to take her as a son-in-law?

"This humble subject pays his respects to Your Highness."

Gu Hua Ran walked over to pay his respects, but was held back by Feng Rong, "No need to be overly courteous, today I'm just here to accompany Jingjing to pay my respects."

Gu Hua Ran's heart skipped a beat. People call him 'Jingjing'?

"Hahahaha, I did not know that Your Highness would also come today. This old man did not manage to receive you, I hope that Your Highness will forgive me."

Gu Yuan said in a clear voice, "The noodles and simple dishes have been prepared in front. I hope that Your Highness does not mind."

"With how kind father-in-law is, your son-in-law would rather obey your orders respectfully."

Feng Rong had a very good attitude as she followed Gu Yuan Pei into the yard.

Gu Hua Ran stood behind them, stunned. Ignoring Feng Rong's attitude, shouldn't Father be a little too overconfident? He completely believed himself to be his father-in-law. Didn't he previously say that he couldn't be careless when enclosing this person?

Gu Hua Ran's eyes flashed as he slowly followed.

Gu Hua Jing had found a few books she was interested in in Gu Hua Ran's study, so she didn't bother changing places and directly started reading them in his study.

The maidservants would come over from time to time to report the news about the front courtyard.

Gradually, Gu Hua Jing lost the will to read.

Been drinking? Going all out against the Configurehead?

Gu Hua Jing's imagination was useless. How could anyone else drink wine in front of Feng Rong's smiling yet not smiling face?

She didn't know what Feng Rong's alcohol tolerance was, but she knew her father and third brother didn't want to get drunk!

After laughing happily for a while, Gu Hua Jing continued to hold onto the book and continued to read.

After a while, someone from the front came again, saying that Young Master was drunk.

"…"

It can't be? Was his alcohol tolerance that bad?

Gu Hua Jing ridiculed him in her heart, as she put down the book and followed him to the front.

"Jingjing, you're here?"

The numbing sound made Gu Hua Jing stiffen at the door, the corner of her mouth curving in a strange way.

Feng Rong was lying on the table, her face red and drunk. She was smiling at him with her watery eyes.

"Why did you drink so much?"

The empty jars piled up at the foot of the table startled Gu Hua Jing. How many of them had been poured in?

"Oh … I didn't drink much. It's rare for me to have such a good time."

Gu Yuan Pei's words were unclear, and even Gu Hua Ran's eyes were filled with drunkenness, indicating that he had drunk too much.

"Jingjing … unwell …"

Gu Hua Jing stiffened once again, unable to believe that this kind of tone was coming from the mouth of a beholder. She must be possessed, right?

However, it wasn't just her. Gu Yuan Pei and Gu Hua Ran had strange expressions on their faces. Gu Hua Jing closed her eyes with trembling eyes and slowly walked over.

She had just walked to Feng Rong's side when she was hugged by the waist.

Feng Rong was like a big child that had suffered a grievance, she hugged her and refused to let go.

"Hehehehehe, your highness seems to be very dependent on you."

Gu Yuan Pei stroked his beard happily. Although he was drunk, his mood was much more relaxed than before.

"I never thought that His Highness would care so much about you. Since that's the case, I can relax. His Highness' alcohol capacity is quite good, hurry up and help him to rest at the back."

"…"

Gu Hua Jing was even more certain that her father was drinking on purpose. Could it be because he was spouting truths after drinking? Thus, he wanted to get drunk and interrogate Feng Rong?

With a heavy waist, Gu Hua Jing didn't care about anything else. She got someone to help Feng Rong up and walked towards the tidied up room.

When she left, Feng Rong's hand didn't leave Gu Hua Jing's for even a second.

Seeing them walk away, Gu Yuan Pei sighed and lay on the table without a care in the world.

"I'm relieved now, I didn't expect the third prince to place so much importance on Jingjing."

Gu Hua Ran remained silent as he stared at the wine cup on the table. There was still half a cup of wine left in the cup.

The way Feng Rong acted at the wine table could only be described as sincere.

He didn't put on the airs of a prince and kept calling himself son-in-law. He let them drink wine and toast.

Gu Hua Ran didn't know what Feng Rong's alcohol tolerance was, but he knew that Feng Rong had drunk quite a bit. Ordinary people would have long been drunk like mud, but he was still awake, which was already pretty good.

After drinking, Feng Rong was able to answer everything he asked him. Moreover, the answers were very reassuring.

His love and adoration for Jingjing was completely exposed. To a man, this kind of feeling was already extremely sincere.

But … Gu Hua Ran silently closed his eyes. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what exactly it was.

If these were all fake by Feng Rong, at least, he would be willing to pretend for Jing Jing, right?

Gu Hua Ran picked up the half cup of wine in front of him and downed it. He hoped that the heavens would pity him, so that Jing Jing would have a smoother life in the future …

Gu Hua Jing helped Feng Rong into the room. Just as the servants left, she was dragged by Feng Rong's lifeless body and fell onto the bed.

Her body was being pressed down heavily. Her sealed breathing carried the fragrance of alcohol, making her seem passionate and intoxicating.

When he looked up, he could see Feng Rong's intoxicated eyes staring at him with boundless emotion.

"I really want to get lost inside …" Gu Hua Jing thought to herself. But right now, her brain was too clear, to the point where she couldn't pretend to be lost.

"Your Highness … you're so heavy …"

Gu Hua Jing said with some difficulty. Feng Rong slightly leaned to the side and her body suddenly lightened. Her breathing became a lot smoother.

"Your Highness should first drink some water, I've already sent people to boil the sobering wine soup."

As she spoke, Gu Hua Jing tried to stand up, but just as she tried to support her body, her sealed arm was pushed back down.

Lying on the bed, Gu Hua Jing's gaze towards Feng Rong was very clear, filled with doubt, as if she didn't understand Feng Rong's actions.

"Why didn't you ask me why I'm here today?"

"His Highness naturally has his own reasons."

"Oh, but I'm drunk now."

"…"

Gu Hua Jing had a helpless expression on her face. Those who were drunk usually said that they weren't. How could they stress that they were drunk?

"What? You don't believe me?"

"This … Since Your Highness has said so, then I naturally believe you."

He really didn't mean what he said.

Feng Rong was still suppressing Gu Hua Jing. Sometimes she was confused and interesting, sometimes she was also sober and helpless.

"It's better to let your parents and brothers feel at ease. It's not like agreeing to marry you isn't in vain, right?"

"I thank Your Highness for your understanding."

Gu Hua Jing calmly expressed her thanks and paused for a moment, "Your Highness, can you let me get up?" "This is a bit uncomfortable."

Feng Rong removed her arm, and Gu Hua Jing quickly got up and took a few deep breaths.

When he looked at Feng Rong again, he was still drunk and his face was extremely handsome.

Sigh, how great would it be if he really got drunk? He might even be able to take advantage of her.

Gu Hua Jing was somewhat regretful. She poured a cup of water and handed it over.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Since Your Highness has taken my situation into consideration, I will remember it in my heart."

Gu Hua Jing borrowed the water to express her feelings. Since the other party had already put down the airs of a prince to accompany her in acting, she wouldn't be hypocritical.

But for some reason, after Gu Hua Jing finished speaking, Feng Rong's expression changed.

It was an extremely minute change, but Gu Hua Jing sensed it.

He's unhappy? Why? Was he being too perfunctory in revealing his sincerity?

Do you want to swear a blood oath? But it was so painful …

Gu Hua Jing struggled internally, but Feng Rong had already restrained her emotions and laid on the bed.

He was now drunk and had fallen in love with Gu Hua Jing, so he didn't hold back when he summoned Gu Hua Jing.

When the servants sent to serve Gu Yuan Pei reported the situation to him, Gu Yuan Pei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The third prince had such an unreasonable side to him? He even needed Jingjing to personally take a bite out of him to drink the sobering soup.

From the looks of it, he could finally relax …

After leaving the Gu Estate, Feng Rong's mind seemed to have cleared up a lot.

He apologized over and over again, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, Gu Yuan Pei was much more enthusiastic than before.

Gu Hua Jing shyly watched from the side. In the end, the scene was very harmonious.

It was still early, so Gu Hua Jing hadn't planned on leaving so early.

But now that she had Feng Rong by her side, she was thinking about her plans to go to Hua Cuisine Restaurant. Should she put it on hold?

"Let's return to the estate."

Gu Hua Jing lightly instructed, but Feng Rong, who was at the side, stopped him.

"It's rare to come out here. Why don't you take a look elsewhere?"

"Can I?"

Feng Rong smirked, "Why not? I'll let your reputation spread. "

"…"

Although the reason was to make Gu Hua Jing speechless, the result was that she was still very happy to see it.

Thus, Gu Huaxin didn't hold back and immediately let the car turn around and go to the restaurant.

"Miss Gu!"

When the entire shopkeeper heard that Gu Hua Jing had arrived, he ran out to greet her. But when he saw the man beside Gu Hua Jing, he stopped, his face filled with fear.

This... Could it be... Third Prince, right?

The entire shopkeeper was in a dilemma as to whether he should kneel down and pay his respects, but Feng Rong had already walked straight up the stairs.

"I've been relying entirely on you, Manager."

"What are you saying, Miss Gu is going to make things difficult for me."

Gu Hua Jing looked at the normal operation of the restaurant and was in a very good mood, "Where's Master?"

"Elder Li is busy right now. I'll go tell him."

Gu Hua Jing nodded and also went upstairs.

In Bai Zhi Hall, Feng Rong was casually sitting. None of the employees outside dared to go in and greet her. When they saw Gu Huanjing, they all felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

"Give me a pot of Life Nourishing Tea."

"Yes, yes."

Gu Hua Jing pushed open the curtain and walked in. She sat down next to Feng Rong.

"Even the doctor has to be the first to ask about food in the restaurant. His Highness' master knows about his body, so let's wait until he comes."

"You run this place pretty well?"

Gu Hua Jing smiled a little complacently, "It's all thanks to the shopkeeper. I've never come here often."

"There are quite a few restaurants in the capital. Some of the more established businesses don't even compare to yours. This means that your medicinal cuisine is still extremely effective."

Gu Hua Jing pursed her lips, as she understood the meaning of disguise. She knew that she had some use for it, so what he had done was worth it.

Should she be happy or helpless?
