Chapter 282

As if she were being held tightly in Gu Hanyuan's embrace.

Afterward, under Lu Wushuang's teasing gaze,

Gu Hanyuan used the excuse of teaching Cheng Ying to hold her in his arms.

Teaching her hand-in-hand.

"Brother Gu, don't be like this. Wushuang is still watching."

"It's fine, just pretend I don't exist."

Lu Wushuang would be jealous of anyone,

but she would never be jealous of Cheng Ying.

The two had grown up together since childhood.

And after reuniting as adults, they supported each other.

Especially after seeing Gu Hanyuan and Cheng Ying being intimate in front of her,

and being comforted by him before he left,

Lu Wushuang was very much in favor of being with Cheng Ying in her heart.

That was why she had such a teasing answer.

Cheng Ying rolled her eyes at Lu Wushuang helplessly.

But this feeling of being almost half-held in his arms,

gave Cheng Ying, who had been drifting since childhood, an indescribable sense of security.

Don't look at Cheng Ying being taken as a closed-door disciple by Huang Yaoshi.

It seemed better than Lu Wushuang's situation of being taken away by Li Mochou.

In the end, she was still living under someone else's roof.

Huang Yaoshi taking Cheng Ying as a disciple was merely out of pity.

Given his nature of disliking Guo Jing's stupidity back then and refusing to betroth his beloved daughter to him,

keeping Cheng Ying by his side for ten years,

but letting her choose to study from small things without careful guidance,

shows that although he felt pity, it was not deep love.

He taught Yang Guo martial arts to fight Li Mochou for Peach Blossom Island,

but it wasn't his closed-door disciple Cheng Ying, which could also serve as proof.

Actually, if one were to investigate, Huang Yaoshi taking Cheng Ying as a disciple

was still because she served him with meticulous care.

Unlike Huang Rong, who was jumpy and naughty.

Cheng Ying's easygoing and sensible nature

was also a survival tactic she had to use while living under someone else's roof for a long time.

So at this moment, the feeling Gu Hanyuan brought her was completely different.

Cheng Ying only felt that she could safely be a little girl being taken care of in his arms.

As she gradually got used to it, she played the "Smiling Proud Wanderer" more and more in sync.

The atmosphere among the three was harmonious.

Two practiced the "Smiling Proud Wanderer,"

one was the audience, clapping and cheering from time to time.

After spending a pleasant time,

Gu Hanyuan bid farewell to the two women and went to see Cheng Yaojia.

When he saw Cheng Yaojia, she was feeding medicine to Lu Guanying.

When she saw Gu Hanyuan, she instantly blushed.

The experience of that night made her unforgettable to this day.

When Lu Guanying saw Gu Hanyuan, it was inevitably somewhat awkward.

Especially when Cheng Yaojia returned that day.

That appearance, beautiful as a peach blossom and bright as a rose, made him unable to endure the jealousy.

For this reason, he even lost his temper at Cheng Yaojia again.

Cheng Yaojia was becoming numb to Lu Guanying's temper.

The process of their union was too short.

They had only known each other for half a day before they were married under Huang Yaoshi's forced matchmaking.

They didn't even have friends and family as witnesses.

Nor did they receive the approval of the Lu family elders.

This was also one of the reasons why Cheng Yaojia's status in the Lu family was not high after marrying Lu Guanying.

Her master, Sun Bu'er, had stopped caring about her since Cheng Yaojia married Lu Guanying.

They had not seen each other for many years.

After marriage, Cheng Yaojia's status in the Lu family was not high.

And her husband, Lu Guanying, could hardly protect her.

As time went by, it was inevitable that more shortcomings would be exposed.

The seven-year itch was just like that.

Although she had been taking care of Lu Guanying with all her heart for the past two days,

there had already been some changes in her heart.

Although Lu Guanying was somewhat awkward when seeing Gu Hanyuan,

he was actually more happy.

He had finally made up his mind to send Cheng Yaojia over,

but Gu Hanyuan left the next day.

It was inevitable that he would have doubts in his heart.

It couldn't be that he and Cheng Yaojia had been married for more than ten years without issue,

and yet she became pregnant after one night with Gu Hanyuan, right?

For Lu Guanying, who could no longer perform as a man,

the most important thing now was to protect his and the Lu family's reputation.

Therefore, when he saw Gu Hanyuan, he even greeted him enthusiastically:

"Young Master Gu... I don't know where you have been these past two days, and whether you intend to stay at Returning Cloud Manor for a few more days?"

Gu Hanyuan explained the cause and effect to Lu Guanying,

and also implicitly indicated that he would come often recently.

"I went to Swallow Dock the day before yesterday to resolve the Murong family's affairs. I will be staying at Swallow Dock for a period of time recently. I will come to visit Young Manor Master Lu when I have time."

When Cheng Yaojia heard Gu Hanyuan's words, the blush on her face deepened.

Lu Guanying's face looked ugly for a moment,

but then he smiled with relief:

"Then I must treat Young Master Gu well."

As he spoke, he greeted Cheng Yaojia:

"Yaojia, you take Young Master Gu for a walk around Returning Cloud Manor. Fulfill the duties of a host."

Cheng Yaojia silently agreed.

Gu Hanyuan smiled playfully:

"Many thanks for your enthusiasm, Young Manor Master Lu. Then I will trouble your wife to take me for a walk."

Lu Guanying looked at the departing backs of his slender wife and Gu Hanyuan.

His eyes were gloomy.

He wanted to vent the anger in his heart but didn't know how to vent it.

He could only hammer the bed in frustration.

Afterward, he became dejected.

Gu Hanyuan and Cheng Yaojia walked to a quiet place where no one was around. ===== CHAPTER 284 =====
