Gu Lingqiao widened her eyes, looking incredulously at Long Rui, and asked, "Brother Rui, what did you just call me?"
After a while, she said, "We grew up together, and you actually called me Miss Gu? Hahaha... Miss Gu."
Long Rui remained unmoved; anyone who made his wife unhappy had to be completely wiped out.
Long Rui: "I and Miss Gu are not related by blood, so it’s better to be clear, lest people misunderstand and compromise your purity; I’ll have a guilty conscience otherwise."
Gu Lingqiao: "There you go again, Brother Rui. I’ve told you so many times, there’s no misunderstanding; Lingling just likes you."
Long Rui: "I also clearly told you, I don’t like you, I only like my wife."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingqiao nearly lost control, pointing at Xuexue and saying, "What’s so great about this woman, why does Brother Rui have to choose her? How does Lingling not compare to her?"
The beauty looked pitiful, and any man with a shred of blood in his veins would have rushed to comfort her.
Just when Gu Lingqiao thought Long Rui would do the same, she heard him say coldly, "Of course my wife is great, you don’t even compare to a strand of her hair."
Long Rui had never said such hurtful words to her before, and Gu Lingqiao was stunned.
The rumors outside always claimed the War Prince was cold and ruthless, but when she met him, she didn’t feel Long Rui was cold at all; he even took great care of her. Perhaps because they grew up together, gradually, she wasn’t afraid anymore.
"Wife, let’s go eat breakfast, I’ve had the chef prepare fresh Osmanthus Cake for you." Long Rui took Xuexue’s small hand and walked down another corridor.
Their figures grew increasingly distant, and Gu Lingqiao watched blankly.
The Old Maid grew increasingly dissatisfied with Gu Lingqiao’s performance; the Prince originally treated her well, but she behaved poorly daily, and now the Prince disliked her. How would she complete the task?
The Old Maid said irritably, "Miss, stop watching, let’s go back too."
Gu Lingqiao belatedly said, "The Prince seems not to like me anymore."
The Old Maid rolled her eyes: "You only realize now!"
Gu Lingqiao: "What’s so remarkable about him, an ugly monster, I don’t care for him either."
This was the garden, Gu Lingqiao said carelessly, fearless of eavesdroppers behind walls. The Old Maid jumped in shock, muttering to herself that she’d eventually be killed by this fool.
"Shh, do you want to die? Be careful what you say." While speaking, the Old Maid sneakily glanced around.
Gu Lingqiao said indifferently, "Nanny, you’re just too cautious; there’s no one here, what’s to fear!"
The Old Maid: "Hasn’t Miss heard of walls having ears?"
Gu Lingqiao glanced around, seeing nothing but trees and flowers; where were the walls?
"I won’t chat nonsensically with you, I’m not in a good mood today, I’m going back to take a nap." As she spoke, Gu Lingqiao walked toward the west side, where the wing rooms were.
Things got so messy, yet she still had the mood to sleep; the Old Maid held great opinions against her, did she really think of herself as the lady? Forgetting she was just impersonating, Gu Lingqiao is someone else.
The Old Maid spat at Gu Lingqiao’s back; if it wasn’t for the Master’s task, she wouldn’t need to be this little girl’s servant.
It was an utter humiliation; she was the top assassin in the Itinerant World, yet she had fallen to the status of a servant. She wasn’t afraid people would laugh their heads off if they heard.
