Ten thousand miles of ice covered the world in silver, making people feel pure and flawless. The cold wind seemed to blow away all the evil and filth. The Jiangnan scenery of the Lan Mansion was covered in white snow. The green pool was floating with broken thin ice. Dozens of goldfish of different colors swam at the bottom of the water. They would not surface until the time to scatter fish food every day.
The exquisitely carved rockery was very lifelike, giving off the feeling of Suzhou Lion Garden. Beside the path paved with soft stones, there were piles of white snow on the bare parasol trees. A curved bridge connected the path and the four-corner pavilion. The pavilion was called Maple Pavilion. The strong horizontal board was made by Shangguan Yibing. There was a large plum blossom forest in front of the pavilion.
Red and white plums intertwined with each other, reflecting each other's beauty. In the frozen world, they bloomed alone. Although there were many, they didn't make people feel that they were in a mess. It was clear that the owner had put a lot of thought into planting them. I wear this body in the ice and snow forest, not like peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust. Suddenly, a night of fragrance spread, spreading into the universe thousands of miles of spring. Xuemei, who disdained to compete with other flowers, was somewhat similar to Lan Xi.
The servants hurried past the cobblestone roads that connected the various places. Their busy figures often appeared in the eyes of the two men in the Maple Pavilion. The servants who belonged to the prince's residence served hot tea and fruits and politely retreated. There seemed to be some anger on their faces that had not dissipated. Gu Moyan looked at his second brother teasingly. Seeing that he did not see him, he casually played the zither and pursed his lips in boredom.
Reaching out to take the orange from the fruit plate and peeling it, Gu Moyan said mockingly," Is Second Brother really not planning to return to the Prince's mansion?”
His slender and fair fingers plucked the strings intentionally or unintentionally. Gu Moxi did not need to look up to imagine the expression on her third brother's face when he found something interesting. His warm and magnetic voice flowed out of his thin lips." Of course not. You have to marry Xi 'er."”
" Oh, then I'll be waiting for Second Brother's wedding banquet. However, Second Brother still needs to work hard, hehe." Gu Moyan, who hadn't expected the consequences at all, laughed heartily. By the time he noticed Second Brother's smiling eyes, it was already too late.
"Third brother seems to be very free.”
Gu Moyan was petrified. No way. He was going to the military camp in a few days. The new year hadn't ended yet. Could he not go? But staring at the smiling Second Brother, he seemed to have foreseen the answer. He dejectedly regretted that he had spoken too quickly. Second Brother usually wouldn't do anything to you, but once he really wanted to do something to you, even an immortal wouldn't be able to resist. Wu wu ~ wangfei, this king regretted coming to find Second Brother today.
Gu Moyan's lifeless appearance made Gu Moxi puzzled. He only asked his third brother to go to the military camp and play with the soldiers. Why did his third brother look like he was going to the execution ground?
"Alright, it's time to tell us your purpose for coming here, right?”Unlike other countries, the two brothers were not at loggerheads with each other. Every time they met, they had to "bully" each other a little before they got to the main topic. Unknowingly, twenty years had passed, but this mode of getting along did not fade with age.
Hearing this, Gu Moyan broke free from his petrified state and took out a gilded red card from his sleeve and handed it to the man opposite him.
Gu Moxi took it and opened it, then looked at her third brother in confusion. This invitation card was given to Xi 'er by her elder brother. It indicated that she was invited to attend the banquet in the palace tomorrow. She did not understand why her elder brother was like this. Xi' er was not a member of the palace, nor was she a descendant of a famous family. Logically speaking, there would not be a seat for her at this banquet. Even he had no reason to bring her to the palace.
"Don't, Second Brother, don't ask me. I don't know anything. Eldest Brother only told me to send the invitation over and didn't say anything else.”As if he knew Gu Moxi's doubts, Gu Moyan cut him off first. He was indeed puzzled by his big brother's meaning, but he was also happy to see Lan Xi appear at the banquet, which meant that she would be the future daughter-in-law of the royal family.
Gu Moxi nodded to show that she understood and asked him to stay for dinner before going back. Gu Moyan didn't argue and immediately agreed. Then, he saw his second brother who grew up with him leave him in a hurry. His amorous peach blossom eyes flashed with a bit of depression. He was very bored alone, okay?
In Xi Garden, Lan Xi saw Tao Yao sitting in the courtyard waiting for her after she returned from the Maple Pavilion. Her alluring red clothes that never changed all year round burned like fire, making her coquettish and charming. As expected of a man like a peach blossom spirit. He was born to be seductive.
When Lan Xi was lying on the warm and soft chaise lounge, Tao Yao moved a stool and sat in front of her. Her furry head carefully approached her, holding her breath to pay attention to her expression. As long as her expression was not right, she would immediately retreat. Lan Xi did not show any displeasure until he was also leaning on the edge of the chaise lounge. His head would rest on her shoulder as long as he lowered his head slightly. The corners of his lips were smiling faintly.
Tao Yao smiled. Her smile was dazzling. She sniffed the woman's body fragrance and moaned in satisfaction. Her whole body unconsciously relaxed and enjoyed the comfort at this moment. She let her hand gently grab his hair. Her expression was like a pet that was being caressed by its owner. If his subordinates saw this, their jaws would drop. This satisfied and cute man was their master, and he was not pretending, right?! One had to know that Tao Yao had always been enchanting and beautiful outside, unlike a man.
Lan Xi's fingers twirled around his silky black hair. When she saw his petty-like satisfied expression, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved deeper. She said in a melodious voice," Taoyao, are you falling in love with me like this?”
"Of course not. How could I fall in love with my idol? Xiao Xi Xi, you're insulting me by asking this!”His smiling face instantly turned into a sad one, as if Lan Xi had said something wrong to him.
Lan Xi's cat eyes blinked. She smiled and reached out to rub Tao Yao's hair. Her gentle strength was like she was comforting a pet. Her tone seemed to be relieved." That's good. I believe you know your limits, right?"”
Tao Yao's peach blossom eyes darkened a little when she heard that. Then, she smiled even more brightly." Yes, I understand."”
It was an insinuating conversation, but both sides understood each other's meaning. Perhaps this was the difference between them and humans. Humans were always too stubborn. Once they had decided on something, some people would never turn back. They were not like that. They would not insist on anything because of meaningless things or people. Humans and demons had different paths, just like ghosts and demons.
When Gu Mo Xi stepped into Xi Garden, she saw such a scene. On the comfortable chaise longue, an elegant and beautiful woman and an enchanting and charming man were close to each other. The woman's fair and small hands were rubbing the man's brocade-like black hair. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They looked so compatible and harmonious. His handsome face sank and a thick sour smell rose from his body.
He strode to the side of the chaise lounge, reached out his strong long arm, grabbed Lan Xi, and locked her tightly in his arms. He glared at the man on the other side of the chaise lounge. He said he couldn't relax, but it had only been a short while, and Taoyao had already taken advantage of him. Xi 'er was not obedient either. Didn't she know to keep a distance from other men besides him?
Tao Yao raised her gentle eyebrows, her peach blossom eyes looking straight at Gu Mo Xi, completely ignoring Gu Mo Xi's fierce gaze. Their gazes collided in the air, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and flames shot in all directions.
At this moment, Lan Xi nimbly removed her hands from the man's embrace. She deliberately stepped back a little to increase the distance between the two of them. Her expression was cold, and even the faint smile on her lips disappeared.
This action made Gu Mo Xi's heart ache, but it made Tao Yao laugh even more happily. How could she not be happy? Ever since the first time she met Gu Mo Xi, the two of them had been at odds. Tao Yao was naturally happy to see his pale face, which was no different from a child who had snatched a toy.
Gu Moxi smiled bitterly. He knew this would happen when his third brother called him " Second sister-in-law." He glared at Tao Yao, who was gloating, and reached out to pull Lan Xi's hand into the house. This time, Tao Yao did not stop her. Instead, she watched as Lan Xi was pulled into the house by Gu Moxi. After the door closed, she turned around and left. Just as he said, he knew his limits. He would not ask or care about his master's matters. It was best to do his job well.
Inside the room, Gu Moxi trapped Lan Xi between the door and his arms. He lowered his head and locked her face tightly. His seductive phoenix eyes were filled with love. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line. His burning gaze seemed to want to see through her, making Lan Xi feel uncomfortable and awkward. She pressed her hands against Gu Moxi's chest to resist him.
Lan Xi could feel his hot body temperature even though Gu Moxi was wearing winter clothes. She was enveloped by the man's breath, and her fair and tender cheeks unconsciously revealed a faint pink color. In Gu Moxi's eyes, she looked more charming and charming. His Adam's apple moved unconsciously, and his mellow voice became a little hoarse." Xi 'er, don't get too close to other men. I'll be jealous."”
Lan Xi bit her lower lip and looked at her toes." You're too nosy."”
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere between them changed. The ambiguity just now turned into depression. Lan Xi could even feel that Gu Moxi was cold because of anger. Suddenly, the man's cold words entered her ears," Am I not qualified to care about you? What about this?"”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Xi felt her vision darken. Then her lips were blocked by a piece of softness. Her ink-like cat eyes widened in shock as she stared blankly at the phoenix eyes that were close to her. Looking at the surging waves in those eyes, she felt strangely that he was roaring in pain at the moment. Something was raging in his mouth. She suddenly came back to her senses. Her eyes darkened and her hands turned into claws. The meaty cat claws flashed with a cold light and instantly grabbed Gu Moxi's neck, causing them to separate.
"Impudent, don't think that just because I'm kind to you, you can be lawless.”Lan Xi's black cat eyes shot straight at Gu Moxi, her whole body exuding a strong sense of oppression and killing intent.
Gu Mo Xi held the cat's claws on her neck with both hands, her phoenix eyes flashing with shock, heartbreak and unwillingness. She was as terrifying as the Grim Reaper in front of her, and her claws could break his neck if she used more strength. Although she could not breathe properly and her face gradually turned red, Gu Mo Xi did not struggle, letting her life be in her hands.
Looking at the pair of dark eyes, Gu Moxi felt trust in her. Trust was not her intention. Trust that she was only scared and that she could not do it. Her thin lips curled into a smile and she said intermittently," Xi 'er, don't. It's not good for you."”
When she heard the " don't ", Lan Xi sneered in her heart. She thought that people were indeed afraid of death, but when she heard the latter part of the sentence, she could not help but be stunned. He asked her to stop because he was not good to her and not for himself?! Cat's Claw could not help but let go of his hand. Seeing him cough in front of him because he could suddenly breathe, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Ahem, ahem. Xi 'er, I knew you wouldn't really kill me.”After her life was no longer threatened, Gu Moxi regained her composure and reached out to hold Lan Xi's hand. Her eyes were filled with joy and gentleness, causing Lan Xi to lose control of herself.
