Chapter 1032: Chapter 29: Happiness at Last

Qiupu has already started to feel a bit of chill, and Le Zhengsheng’s holiday lasts only a day.

After one day, he must leave and return to continue his work.

In this precious entire day, Le Zhengsheng wishes he could stick to Gu Xiaoning the whole time.

Endlessly talking to her about some things...

Gu Xiaoning felt annoyed, "I know, I beg you, Mr. Le Zheng, please don’t talk anymore, it’s so annoying."

"Annoying?"

Le Zhengsheng’s face fell, "Your attitude is wrong, how can you despise me for being annoying? Gu Xiaoning, I’m telling you..."

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoning irritably covered her ears, "I want to sleep!"

"Oh." Le Zhengsheng immediately shut up, not daring to speak again, "If you want to sleep, go ahead... I won’t bother you anymore."

As a result, Gu Xiaoning had just lain down, and Le Zhengsheng also lay down beside her, holding her. "I’ll hold you while we sleep; after tomorrow, it’ll be a long time before we see each other again."

Tch...

Gu Xiaoning chuckled, letting him stay.

They had been apart for two years, so let him cling.

——

The next morning, Le Zhengsheng set out on his journey.

"Hey."

Pei Pei and Yu Sangwan looked at Gu Xiaoning, teasing her with a smile.

"Alright, the bitterness is over... you have attained your happy ending. From now on, your days will be filled with happiness, making others envious, jealous, and hateful!"

Gu Xiaoning’s cheeks flushed slightly, "Peipei sis, why... are you unwilling? I think the second young master treats you very well."

"Hey."

Pei Pei plopped down on the sofa, sighed, and stared out the window without speaking.

Yu Sangwan tugged on Gu Xiaoning, "Come on... you haven’t had your milk, have you? Come over and drink it, or when Ah Sheng finds out I didn’t take good care of you, we won’t be friends for years."

In the kitchen, Yu Sangwan talked with Gu Xiaoning about Pei Pei’s situation.

"Wanwan sis." Gu Xiaoning didn’t quite understand, "Their issue isn’t that big, is it? Although the family doesn’t really approve, marriage ultimately is decided by Minister Lu, isn’t it?"

"It is."

Yu Sangwan nodded, "I understand this... but Peipei is quite strong-willed."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning was puzzled, sensing there might be more to this matter?

Yu Sangwan glanced in the direction of the living room and handed the warmed milk to Gu Xiaoning.

"You don’t know, Pei Pei’s family has a heavy burden... although she’s a girl, she started working early to support her family. She entered the entertainment industry quite early... her parents, brothers, and younger brothers all depend on her, and now her brothers are married, yet they still rely on her."

"What?"

Gu Xiaoning was taken aback, "Are her brothers in poor health?"

Since she herself had a brother named Xiao Zheng who was different from others, she naturally thought so.

"Hey."

Yu Sangwan sighed, "If that were the case, it would be alright, but no... her brothers have all limbs and can get married and have children, so what defect could there be?"

"Then..." Gu Xiaoning couldn’t understand, "Then why don’t they go to work themselves?"

Yu Sangwan remarked with some feeling, "That’s why Peipei’s life is tough... she used to support her parents, and now at this age, everyone is married and has children, but she still has to support such a big family..."

Gu Xiaoning nodded, understanding.

She thought for a moment and said, "But, with Minister Lu’s family background, they should still be able to support themselves..."

"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded, "However..."

Before she could finish, there was a commotion in the living room.

"Good! I told you, why couldn’t I find her anywhere!"

"Oh no!"

Yu Sangwan’s heart tightened, "My aunt is here!"

Both hurried to the living room.

In the living room, Fu Mingzhu pointed at Pei Pei, with quite a malicious attitude.

"Aren’t you supposed to have a strong sense of self-esteem?" Fu Mingzhu showed a face full of disdain and indifference, "You promised me good and well that you wouldn’t bother Yuxuan anymore! Now, what are you doing? Ah!"

Pei Pei kept her head down, biting her lip.

Her face was pale, without a good rebuttal.

"Tsk tsk!" Fu Mingzhu clicked her tongue and shook her head.

"Are you perhaps hoping for something? Your family is just a bottomless pit! Can the Fu Family and Lu Family support you forever? You think I don’t know that as a popular star, you haven’t saved anything all these years because you were dragging your family down!"

Fu Mingzhu wouldn’t stop talking, "Sure, even if the Fu Family and Lu Family don’t lack money, but... Yuxuan is a key minister of Guan Chao; if this gets out, how do you expect him to do his job? Ah?"

"..."

Pei Pei gritted her teeth, remaining silent.

Her nature was originally fierce, but now, she couldn’t talk back! This person was Yuxuan’s biological mother!

"Auntie!"

Yu Sangwan hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Fu Mingzhu.

"Please don’t be like this; they truly love each other."

"Love each other?" Fu Mingzhu looked at Yu Sangwan, "Taotao, what good is love? If love were useful, how could I have been separated from Yuxuan’s father for so many years? It’s impossible to live life without caring about the judgments of others!"

Yu Sangwan opened her mouth but genuinely didn’t know how to persuade her aunt.

Fu Mingzhu’s eyes were somewhat red, "I’ve already made mistakes my whole life, I don’t want to see my son walk the wrong path too!"

"Mom!"

There was a stir at the entrance, as Lu Yuxuan rushed in.

He said nothing but immediately hugged the aggrieved Pei Pei tightly.

He confronted his mother, "What hurtful words have you said to her again?"

"What?" Fu Mingzhu was stunned, "Did I say hurtful words? It’s her who went back on her word, alright? She promised me before she wouldn’t stay in touch with you anymore!"

"Mom!"

Lu Yuxuan was anxious, he looked down at Pei Pei.

He growled softly, "It’s not her clinging to me! It’s me... your son is the one who locked her here! She ran away countless times, and I nearly broke her legs! I am the one who can’t be without her!"

"..."

Fu Mingzhu was stunned, not expecting her son to have this attitude.

She couldn’t believe it, "You... speaking like this, were you actually agreeing to go on the arranged dates..."

"I did that to stabilize you! I don’t want you to bully Pei Pei anymore!"

Lu Yuxuan’s brows furrowed tightly, "Mom, what wrong has Pei Pei done? Just because you’re my mother, she has been enduring your behavior! You treat her like that, and she is sensible enough not to retort you!"

"Ha!" Fu Mingzhu was infuriated, holding her forehead. "Oh dear!"

"Auntie!"

"Mom!"

Fu Mingzhu couldn’t stand still, "You want... to drive me to death!"

Lu Yuxuan was torn, "Mom, you and Dad have suffered this lifetime, why can’t you understand me? If you want me to marry a prestigious daughter today, but I don’t like her... I miss Pei Pei in my heart, Mom, you’ll turn Pei Pei into a second you!"

"Yuxuan!" Yu Sangwan shouted lowly, immediately realizing Lu Yuxuan had said something wrong.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Mingzhu’s expression drastically changed.

She raised her hand and fiercely slapped Lu Yuxuan!
