Chapter 182: The beauty is slightly tipsy, and worries arise in her heart

~7 min read 1,334 words

"So precious?"

Huang Rong was a bit surprised by Gu Hanyuan's statement, but inexplicably felt it made sense.

"No matter how precious the wine is, it's meant for people to drink. Madam possesses the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth; why shouldn't you drink it?"

Gu Hanyuan said with a smile.

Huang Rong was slightly startled by Gu Hanyuan's praise.

Ever since she got married, people in the Jianghu had generally been extremely respectful because they respected the couple; either they praised her for not being inferior to men, or they praised her wit. For over a decade, it seemed no one had praised her beauty to her face.

Yet Gu Hanyuan expressed his appreciation for her beauty without any avoidance, but stopped just at the right point, making it impossible for one to find a reason to be angry.

But Huang Rong wouldn't be deceived by his few words and instead asked:

"What do you think of Fu'er?"

"Sister Fu is simple and kind; although she is a bit willful and straightforward, and often causes trouble because of her recklessness, she actually has times when she considers others carefully. It's just that she is thin-skinned and proud, so she appears a bit domineering."

If Gu Hanyuan were to summarize Guo Fu in one sentence, she is a donkey that likes to be stroked in the direction of its fur because she admires strength.

From the protagonist perspective of Yang Guo, Guo Fu is naturally detestable.

But if one looks at it objectively, one would find that the two are simply unsuitable; one refuses to bow his head because of pride, and the other refuses to bow her head because of inferiority.

Huang Rong didn't expect Gu Hanyuan to have such an objective evaluation of Guo Fu, even more thorough than her, the mother.

Even with Huang Rong's doting on Guo Fu, she had to admit that her personality was very unlikable many times.

She had originally thought Gu Hanyuan would either just pick the good things to praise or bluntly state her shortcomings.

Now that she had received such an answer, Huang Rong was very surprised and at the same time had an extra point of recognition for Gu Hanyuan.

"Do you like Fu'er?"

"Of course."

Gu Hanyuan wouldn't hesitate with such questions.

However, Huang Rong immediately asked a fatal question.

"And what about Miss Yue?"

"I like her too."

Gu Hanyuan had always been very frank about such questions.

And he silently added a sentence in his heart: "Madam, I like you too."

Huang Rong was made to have a headache by Gu Hanyuan's righteous answer.

"You like both of them? Who will you choose in the end?"

"Who can say for sure about future events?"

Gu Hanyuan's tone was drifting, as if it were difficult for him to make a decision.

Huang Rong frowned, a bit dissatisfied with this answer.

She hoped Gu Hanyuan could be a devoted person like Guo Jing, especially since it involved her own daughter.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that Gu Hanyuan was someone completely different from Guo Jing, even the opposite.

Guo Jing has great righteousness in his heart; Gu Hanyuan does not; he has always aimed for his own ambition.

Of course, the two also have commonalities.

Guo Jing has Huang Rong in his heart; Gu Hanyuan does too.

It's just that Guo Jing only has Huang Rong in his heart, while Gu Hanyuan only treats Huang Rong as one of his prey.

"Fu'er is my daughter, and you tell me so directly that you like both; aren't you afraid I'll get angry and interfere?"

Huang Rong was curious about Gu Hanyuan's frankness.

Gu Hanyuan revealed a meaningful smile.

"I will not lie to Madam."

Huang Rong's heart jumped, and she was made to have slightly hot cheeks by this sentence from Gu Hanyuan.

She raised her cup and took a sip of "Treading Snow Seeking Plum Blossoms" to mask her embarrassment.

She thought to herself: What does this little bastard mean?

And Gu Hanyuan didn't know when he started calling her "Madam" directly.

That natural feeling made Huang Rong realize it only now.

But after all, he had already called her that several times, and it would be rude to rashly ask him to change it back.

The helpless Huang Rong glared at him.

Gu Hanyuan did it on purpose and wouldn't be afraid or feel guilty from a harmless glare.

Besides, she even had a bright and vivid charm when glaring at people.

However, this look from Huang Rong actually made Gu Hanyuan miss Dai Qisi.

It wasn't that Little Dragon Maiden wasn't beautiful enough, but Little Dragon Maiden's beauty was pure and flawless.

If one really wanted to talk about femininity, it was different from the glamorous and charming Huang Rong and Dai Qisi.

Because of Gu Hanyuan's sentence, the atmosphere between the two became a bit awkward.

Finally, Gu Hanyuan broke this dull atmosphere first, no longer chatting about emotional problems, but chatting about various experiences.

Huang Rong had felt a great sense of being a soulmate when she chatted about these with Gu Hanyuan last time.

The two sometimes argued over certain viewpoints, and sometimes clapped and laughed when heroes saw things the same way.

Unknowingly, the night grew deep.

Over the years, Huang Rong had been racking her brains to help Guo Jing defend Xiangyang City, almost never having a few easy days.

Today, she was rarely relaxed, so she drank quite a bit of "Treading Snow Seeking Plum Blossoms" sip by sip.

Although the wine nature of "Treading Snow Seeking Plum Blossoms" was mellow, because of the existence of spiritual energy, it made Huang Rong, who had never come into contact with it, a bit tipsy.

That appearance of a beauty slightly tipsy with a flushed face added a few more points of beauty to Huang Rong, who was already glamorous beyond measure.

When the wine in the pot was finished by the two, Huang Rong realized that the two had chatted for so long.

Because of the sudden realization, Huang Rong stood up too quickly, and a sense of dizziness struck, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

Gu Hanyuan naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity and immediately stepped forward to support her.

Huang Rong only felt a pair of hot, large hands suddenly wrap around her waist, so hot that she was a bit lost for a moment.

She looked up at Gu Hanyuan who was supporting her.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's exceptionally handsome face, clear and limpid eyes, and slightly worried gaze at close range.

Perhaps because of the mother-daughter relationship, Huang Rong also paid attention to Gu Hanyuan's round and full Adam's apple.

A feeling of wanting to reach out and touch it flashed through her mind.

"Madam, are you alright?"

After being awakened by Gu Hanyuan's voice, Huang Rong realized what she had been thinking about.

The blush on her face, which had been flushed by the wine, spread rapidly.

She hurriedly pushed away Gu Hanyuan's hand and tidied her somewhat messy hair.

"Thank you, Young Hero Gu."

Even though they were no longer in contact, Huang Rong still felt a bit of heat at her waist, and even in the cool night, it made her heart numb.

"Madam, why be so distant? Just call me Hanyuan."

Gu Hanyuan struck while the iron was hot, bringing the relationship between the two closer.

Although Huang Rong felt that the relationship with Gu Hanyuan shouldn't be so close, a night of getting along made her unable to say words of refusal.

And now she subconsciously felt that she should leave here more, and didn't want to care about the details.

"Hanyuan, it's already very late. I'll go back to rest first."

Huang Rong deliberately revealed a dignified smile, as if nothing had happened just now.

It was just that she was betrayed by the blush on her face. ===== CHAPTER 184 =====
