After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 426

In addition, Ye's family was going to stay in Bianjing for another half month. This big family ate, drank, had fun, wrote poems, fished, and appreciated flowers every day, very happy.

Gu Shuang was newly married. Ye Qingchi took three days off for the wedding ritual bath, and asked for another half month off to accompany her on an outing to relax.

It was said to be relaxing, but everyone knew that the newlyweds just got married and were in a honeymoon phase, trying to get rid of everyone to spend time alone as a young couple.

Qin was also not stopping them, smiling charmingly as she prepared food and clothing for Gu Shuang as if she were her own daughter.

Only after personally putting Gu Shuang in the carriage did her face change as she pulled her son aside and admonished, "Although you are newlyweds, Shuang'er is still young. You have to learn to restrain yourself, understand?"

Ye Qingchi's deep eyes lingered on his little wife's small face, and the darker his eyes became the more he looked at her.

Gu Shuang had just learned about intimacy between men and women. How could she not know what he was thinking? Her face flushed red as she hurriedly put down the carriage curtain, not daring to look at him.

Qin nagged, "Did you hear me?"

Ye Qingchi chuckled lightly. "I know."

Qin snorted displeasedly. "I see you don't know!"

The marks on Gu Shuang's neck could not lie. The new daughter-in-law did not get up until noon to serve tea on the first day after the wedding night.

She was not bothered by Gu Shuang getting up late, just worried that her weak constitution, if her son was unrestrained, would injure the girl.

Ye Qingchi also knew that he had not controlled himself well on their wedding night. Who told his little delicate wife to have such a soft, glutinous sweet scent that made it impossible for him to remain sane.

He had tried his best to control his strength, but did not expect to still leave many marks on her body.

That little thing, her body full of soft flesh, especially the way she cried with red eyes in pain under him, looked as delicate as a dewy lotus flower, innocent yet making him crave more once tasted.

He did not understand why Zhao Prince was so reluctant to part with A Ying until he got married himself and realized the subtleties between husband and wife in the bedroom.

It was difficult to let go of someone you liked.

He said helplessly, "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Shuang'er and not let her get hurt at all."

Qin said, "This is what you said."

Ye Qingchi promised repeatedly, "What I said."

Qin said earnestly, "There is a saying outside that you don't really like Shuang'er. As a mother I still don't know what you really think in your heart. Shuang'er's birth is a bit low, but you must not use what those people say to insult Shuang'er, understand? She is your wife. In the future, when attending banquets in various families, if you do not love and respect her, she will be bullied when she goes out, and a woman's honor and disgrace depend entirely on you. She will also give birth to your children. If you dare not treat her well, I as her mother will be the first to disagree."

Ye Qingchi's face was solemn, with a slight smirk. "Mother, do you really think I would marry a girl I don't like?"

Qin's eyes lit up excitedly. "So you do like her, right?"

Ye Qingchi nodded slightly. "She has a place in my heart. Whoever dares bully her, I will be the first to disagree."

Qin's mouth turned up in a big smile. "Hahaha, I did win the bet after all! I’ll get some silver to buy jewelry from Zhao later! Her pair of top-quality seals and inkstones will be mine too!"

Ye Qingchi's temple twitched. "..."

Only after detonating what her son was thinking was Qin satisfied to let the couple go.

After seeing off Ye Qingchi and his wife, Qin busily went to Qinghe Garden to accompany Gu Ying.

When Gu Ying woke up early in the morning, she saw Xun with his head buried squatting outside her door.

After moving into the Ye family house for a few days, every morning when Yinglan got up she could see Xun squatting guarding her outside her door or under her window.

There were dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time.

Although there was a tall bed with soft bedding and a spacious bedroom, he still refused to sleep indoors, insisting on guarding outside her door.

Gu Ying looked at his clear eyes complicatedly. "Xun, why are you here?"

The boy was not good with words or smiling, just staring at her with those dark eyes, gazing at her intently.

That gaze was as if after traversing countless long years, overcoming difficulties and dangers, they were finally meeting at this moment. The boy's eyes were too much like a puppy abandoned for many years and wandering for many years.

Gu Ying distressfully pulled him up and earnestly told him, "Xun, actually you don't have to guard me. There are many people around now to protect me. I'll be fine."

The boy was still not used to his new name, dazed, and did not know what was going on with himself.

He just felt very aggrieved hearing her say there were many people accompanying her.

Dejected beyond compare, he lowered his head, didn't say a word, thinking she disliked him.

"You need to sleep well and grow up well, you know?"

"Sister has never disliked Xun."

"Xun?"

"Xun?"

"Xun?"

Gu Ying kept calling his name softly.

Only then did the boy lift his head, his clear eyes looking over, and repeated, "I am Xun. I want to protect Sister."

The sister he spoke of should be his biological sister.

Thinking of the little girl who had died long ago, Gu Ying's heart ached even more. She raised her hand and stroked his soft black hair, calling Banchou to bring him for breakfast.

When Qin stepped into the yard, she saw the lonely silhouette of the boy's back.

"Ying'er, what's wrong with Xun?"

Gu Ying pulled Qin's arm and sighed, "He probably has mistaken me for his sister. Afraid I'll get hurt, disappear, leave him, so he stood guard over me night and day."

Qin was puzzled. "His sister?"

Only then did Gu Ying realize she had slipped up and quickly laughed, "I asked Su He to investigate his background. As his aunt you know of Floating Cloud Building's abilities. A few days ago Su He sent someone to tell me about Xun's sister, saying he had a sister who went missing since they were young."

As a mother, she naturally sympathized with the child.

Qin did not doubt her words. "Ah, the poor child!"

Gu Ying pulled her mouth. "Yes."

Qin quickly said, "Then I'll send someone to help him look too."

Gu Ying held her back and shook her head. "No need, Auntie."

Qin stopped in her tracks, looking puzzled.

Gu Ying sighed deeply. "His sister is dead."

Qin was startled, her eyes even more sympathetic. "Oh, never mind, never mind. From today, Ye family will be his family. I see, why not let him officially recognize me as his godmother? When Father leaves Bianjing, he can bring Xun and Ning to Haizhou Ye family for fostering. What do you think?"

Light flashed in Gu Ying's eyes and they lit up. "Oh, that's a good idea!"

In Dong Li, there was nowhere more powerful for learning than Nanhua Academy, and no family more suitable for the growth of the boy than Ye family.

Countless young masters and sons of prestigious families in Dong Li desperately wanted to enter Nanhua Academy but didn't have the chance.
