Transmigrated into Substitute Bride Fu Lang

Chapter 30.2: 他高興便好

It’s good that he is happy

 

Just exactly at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by Chen Xing’s head poking through the door and a smile spread across his face as he saw them.
He smiled then said, “I couldn’t find you in the front room, so I wondered if you were here, and I found you! I’ve made dinner, so if you have anything to say, we’ll talk afterwards.”

 

The moment he saw Chen Xing, the indifference on Gu Lang’s face was like ice and snow melting away, slowly fading away to reveal his usual gentle and harmless smile as he said softly, “Hn.”

 

Gu Lang took the lead and walked out of the study room, coming to Chen Xing’s side and walking with him to the dining room.

 

Qiu Jiu, who remained in the study room, shook his head helplessly as he watched the change in his family’s young master.
He knew that Chen Xing was special to his family’s young master.
Thinking of this, he followed him up as he brought the box in his hand.

 

On the way to the dining room, Chen Xing was still puzzled by what Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu were doing in the study room, so he asked them frankly, “What were you doing in the study? It was obviously time to eat, why didn’t you wait until you had finished eating before saying anything? You were already delayed in your meal time, and if it was any later, it would not be good for your health.”

 

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing’s rambling, not only did he not feel annoyed, on the contrary, he felt a little bit of warmth.
He looked at Chen Xing, who was staring at him with concern, and gently lifted the corner of his mouth, “Hn, I know, I won’t do it next time.
I just asked Qiu Jiu to deliver my letter this afternoon, it won’t take much time.”

 

Seeing that Gu Lang was so serious in explaining to himself, Chen Xing himself began to be embarrassed as she said, “I, I don’t want to care about you, I’m just worried about your health.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who lowered his head out of embarrassment and stared at the tips of his reddened ears.
He gently curled his lips and said gently, “It’s okay, I don’t mind.”

 

Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes were somewhat helpless.

 

Gu Lang stared into those beautiful eyes of his and said softly, “I don’t mind if you care about me.”

 

Chen Xing’s face instantly turned red, thinking that Gu Lang’s words were too illegal so he was unable to withstand it.

 

After hearing this, Chen Xing’s face turned red as he walked faster towards the dining room, Gu Lang’s face turned somewhat darker.

 

Only when the three of them arrived at the dining hall, one after the other, did the temperature on Chen Xing’s face subside a little and his face returned to normal as he served them with a meal.

 

After they had all been seated, Chen Xing took a peek at Gu Lang and saw that he did not look that different.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time carried a bit of loss that he did not even notice, as if he was expecting Gu Lang to say something even more.

 

Gu Lang did not notice Chen Xing’s complicated state of mind, but after they had finished eating, he mentioned something else to Chen Xing, “Xing Xing, do you want to learn to read with me?”

 

At first, when Gu Lang called him Xing Xing, Chen Xing would blush, but when he got used to it, he thought it was no big deal.

 

When he heard Gu Lang ask him if he wanted to learn how to read Chinese characters, Chen Xing’s face appeared a bit incomprehensible, wondering why Gu Lang suddenly wanted to teach him how to read Chinese characters.

 

Chen Xing’s emotions were always straightforward on his face.
Looking at Chen Xing’s expression, Gu Lang understood what he was thinking.
He looked at Chen Xing, gently curled his lips and explained,

 

“Since you have nothing to do this afternoon, it would be a good thing to learn to read with me.
Didn’t you say last time that you wanted to learn how to read but you never had the chance to do so? Since now, I have time to spare, I can teach you how to do it, what do you think?”

 

Only then did Chen Xing remember that this was the reason he had told Gu Lang why he knew how to read and write when he had seen those books in his study room last time.
He just didn’t expect him to remember it so clearly after such a long time.

 

For a moment, Chen Xing’s mood became a little complicated, but when he raised his eyes to meet Gu Lang’s intent gaze, he nodded slowly, “Yes, I’ll learn how to read from you.”

 

The curvature of Gu Lang’s lips became wider and wider as he looked at him and said in satisfaction, “Okay then, take a break for a while for lunch today and we will start on it later.”

 

Chen Xing looked at him and nodded his head seriously.

 

At the same time in the Zhao family.

 

Madame Zhao, the head of the family, came to the room of her own daughter, Zhao Jing, with the help of her maid.

 

The moment she saw her mother, Zhao Jing, who was still eating her sweet osmanthus flower cakes, panicked and hid the cakes in her hands behind her.

 

However, Zhao’s mother glanced at her coldly and said coldly, “Don’t hide it.
I’ve seen it all.”

 

As soon as Zhao’s mother said this, Zhao Jing stopped moving, stood there and stared blankly as she cautiously looked at Zhao’s mother and observed her expression.

 

However, Zhao’s mother slowly walked up to her face and poked her in the head with her nails painted with pretty flower petals, saying with hatred, “You are already a big lady, why are you so reluctant to listen to advice? Didn’t I tell you that you’ll be discussing marriage in a while, so you should take care of your figure, and if no one likes you, see what will happen to you?”

 

Hearing her mother belittle her, Zhao Jing unwilling to concede, but she did not dare to show it, so she could only stare at her mother with a red face, not daring to say anything although she was angry.

 

Looking at her appearance, Zhao’s mother poked her in the head again, causing her to take a step backwards, and said in a hateful voice, “Your mother is doing this for your own good, so don’t resent it.”

 

Zhao Jing looked at her mother with the red marks on her head and said miserably, “Mother, I know.
It’s just that I really can’t control my mouth, so isn’t it worse than killing me if I’m not allowed to eat?”

 

Zhao’s mother gave her a blank and scornful look as she said sternly, “Even if that’s the case, you still have to hold back.
From tomorrow onwards, I will instruct the servants in your house to watch that you are not allowed to eat too much, and if anyone dares to disobey me, I will have them all sold.”

 

Hearing Zhao’s mother’s words, Zhao Jing hastily pulled her clothes and begged as she said, “Mother, don’t be like this.”

 

However, Zhao’s mother ignored her and pulled her hand away, as if it was impossible to negotiate.

 

When she saw that even when she acted like a spoiled child, it didn’t work, she knew that her mother was determined to get rid of her this time, so she silently sighed and decided not to beg her, therefore she would think of a solution later.

 

When Mother Zhao finished talking about this, she looked at her up and down and then, at Zhao Jing’s apprehensive look, she said in a deep voice: “Where did you get the dessert you brought back last time?”

 

Hearing Mother Zhao mention the pastries Chen Xing gave her last time, Zhao Jing’s eyes lit up as she looked at her, “Mother, are you talking about the jelly?”

 

Zhao’s mother didn’t know what they were called, so she nodded in acknowledgement at Zhao Jing’s words and said in a cold tone, “When you brought them out last time, the county magistrate’s wife liked them very much.
I wanted to send some more to deepen our friendship, so where did you buy it?”

 

As she listened to Zhao’s mother’s words, her face showed some embarrassment, but she finally said truthfully, “I didn’t buy it, I got it as a thank-you gift sent by the young boss who said I had done him a favor last time.”

 

Zhao Jing had been thinking about it even after she had finished eating it, but she didn’t feel like asking for it again, so she held back.

 

Hearing that, Zhao’s mother was silent for a moment, then her face suddenly sank before then she suddenly said, “Is it the little boss who caused you to be slapped by Chen Ling’er last time?”

 

Thinking of the slap she received last time, Zhao Jing’s face turned a little darker, but she still nodded.
She said on behalf of Chen Xing, “It wasn’t his fault, it was me who rushed there.”

 

Looking at her daughter’s weak and easy to bully appearance, Zhao’s mother felt angry, but her daughter had been raised in the old lady’s house since she was a child in order to help her strive for favor, so even if she wanted to educate her now, it was too late.

 

Zhao’s mother took a deep breath to calm her anger, and thinking of the purpose of her visit, she continued, “Since he did it, then it’s easy to arrange.”

 

Zhao Jing was fully aware of her mother’s strong minded nature, and after hearing her say this, she asked with some uneasiness, “Mother, what do you want to do?”

 

Zhao’s mother raised her eyes and said in an arrogant tone, “Naturally, I will send someone to ask him if he is willing to sell this dessert to us.
If he is not willing, and if there are any other requests, we will do our best to satisfy him.”

 

As she listened to Zhao’s mother’s words, she felt that something was wrong, but looking at Zhao’s mother’s sunken face, she didn’t dare to say anything, thinking that if things went wrong, she would have to go to her grandmother in time to help her, not to let the little young boss be bullied.
