There were still fine droplets of rain on his hair, making it seem even more inky. A pair of clear, star-like eyes looked at her. Because of the rain, they were slightly blurred. Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not hungry?"
Gu Jinzhu shook her head and tightly gripped the paper package in her hand. That warmth seemed to spread from her fingertips to her heart.
She lowered her eyes to cover up the complex emotions churning within them.
He was the Gu family that she hated the most, but he was also the only person in the Gu family who treated her so well.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the sudden throbbing of her heart, and said softly: "Three … Uncle, please come in and avoid the rain. "
The place inside the car wasn't big, it was occupied by the gift from the Yang family, leaving only a small corner for the three girls to sit on.
The two girls were startled when Gu Yiqing came in. They quickly tidied up the things on the side and sat on the side.
Gu Yiqing glanced at the carriage and sat down beside Jinzhu.
Gu Jinzhu's heartbeat slightly quickened. Being in the same car with this strange young man made her feel awkward, but she couldn't do anything about it. There was no place to shelter from the rain for miles around, so she couldn't let him stay outside forever, right?
With one more person in the carriage, it became even narrower. The hem of her skirt was unavoidably touching the corner of Gu Yiqing's clothes. She then quietly moved out.
It was unknown whether it was because her Third Uncle was too handsome or because he was a stranger, but from beginning to end, she felt that she was very reserved when she was with him.
Aster and Rue were too scared to breathe, so they stayed in the corner and didn't say a word.
The dark green robe on Gu Yiqing's body was a little wet, sticking slightly to his body, showing his broad shoulders and slim waist, and his powerful figure.
Gu Jinzhu discovered that he was not as thin as the average scholar, but was instead as handsome and slender as a bamboo.
He noticed her gaze and slightly tilted his head. "Why aren't you eating?" Aren't you hungry? "
Gu Jinzhu shook her head and softly said, "Thank you, Third Uncle." Her voice had finally become a lot more natural.
Gu Yiqing smiled slightly. Dark light seemed to be circulating in her pitch-black pupils, as if clouds and mist were suddenly scattered all over the sky. The clouds were benevolent and the moon shone brightly. She appeared to be an indescribably handsome Wind God.
Gu Jinzhu was startled and quickly lowered her gaze.
This person looked really good. Even though she knew he was her elder, her heart still skipped a beat. Her mind couldn't help but wonder if this little uncle was married. She really couldn't think of any kind of girl that was qualified to stand by his side.
While her mind was wandering, she heard a few shouts coming from far behind her. When she heard the shouts, Gu Jinzhu's face sank.
The voice said, "Jewel..." "Jewel …"
The people in the car were shocked. She rolled up the curtain and looked back. "It's the Chen family's young master!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a horse came galloping in like the wind and stopped him in front of the carriage. A young man's clear voice anxiously asked: "May I ask if this is Miss Gu's carriage?"
The carriage was forced to stop, and the man called out anxiously: "Zhu'er, Zhu'er, is that you? Come out, where are you going? "
Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Jinzhu's face immediately darkened. A cold light flashed in her dark eyes, while Yun Xiang and Bi Ji also had a look of anger on their faces.
Gu Yiqing raised his head and glanced at her, but no emotions could be seen in his eyes.
No matter how that person called out to her, Gu Jinzhu didn't say anything. She only felt that her usually intimate calls of 'Pearl' now sounded so ear-piercing that she didn't even want to look at the person outside.
However, if she didn't say anything, someone else wouldn't be able to hold it in. She forgot Gu Yingqing's presence and pulled open the curtain, saying angrily, "What pearl, can you even call a lady by her name? If you scream again, I'll cut your tongue off! "
The person outside was a sixteen to seventeen year old youth in white. He had pitch-black facial features and was extremely handsome. Although his clothes were already soaked through, he was still unable to conceal the flying arrogance that came from his bones.
The teenager was stunned, but when he saw Bi Ling's face, he suddenly exclaimed happily, "It's me, Bi'er! I'm young master Chen, is Zhu Er in the car?"
As he said that, he stuck his head into the car. Gu Jinzhu unconsciously shrank behind the curtain. Her face was hidden in the shadows and her expression could not be seen.
"Pui!" Of course I know that you are the Chen family's ungrateful ghost, our young miss has nothing to say to you, hurry up and make way for me! Don't you know that good dogs don't block the way?! "
She was young and fiery, and her mouth was like a knife.
The youth was tongue-tied from being scolded. His expression did not look good for a moment, but there was nothing he could do about it with the little girl.
He said to the car, "Zhu'er, get down. If you have anything to say, we'll talk."
Such an arrogant person actually had a trace of pleading in his voice.
Gu Yiqing's eyes unconsciously narrowed. However, this was clearly a girl's private matter, and his new Third Uncle couldn't interfere.
Yun Xiang glanced at her, then got down from the carriage. She blessed the young man and said extremely courteously: "Young Master Chen, it was clearly said yesterday that my Young Miss no longer has anything to do with you. If you continue to pester her, where will you keep her name? "Please have some self-respect, Young Master Chen."
Her words were polite, but the meaning was clear. The youth's face turned pale.
Yun Xiang no longer paid attention to him and got into the car. Gu Yiqing glanced at him indifferently, then ordered the servants outside, "Let's go. The journey is more important!"
"Yes." The servant in black answered, the whip in his hand snapped. He didn't care that Young Master Chen's horse was still in front of him, and actually drove his car over.
The teenager jumped in shock and hurried to drive his horse to the side. As soon as he left, the Gu family car passed by him.
From start to finish, Gu Jinzhu had not shown her face.
Seeing that the carriage was about to leave, the young man's expression changed, and suddenly shouted: "Zhu Er! Are you sure you don't want to talk to me anymore? I know you misunderstood me, but I've already begged my mother to let us be together, and she has already agreed! Come down here, Pearl! "I've really begged my mother …"
He yelled at the top of his lungs, as if he was filled with grief and indignation. Anyone who heard him would probably think that she was heartless. Gu Jinzhu unconsciously clenched her palm, and her nails pierced into her flesh, causing a sharp pain.
Chen Yunze, you're the one who found this place. I didn't want to find trouble with you anymore …
She frowned and said to Gu Yiqing, "Third Uncle, please stop for a moment."
Gu Yiqing glanced at her indifferently, but didn't say anything. He just instructed her, "Stop the car!"
