Chapter 102 Hehe, No Hehe
"What's the point of asking you? It's not like you've never been single since birth." Wei Dongning rested her chin on her hands, stating the fact calmly.
Su Yizhuo had no way to refute it for a moment.
In his past life, he wished he could split a minute in half to use it.
This way, I can find more jobs, earn more money, and use it to treat Wei Dongning's illness.
For him, dating is like a luxury item in a shop window, something he can't enjoy.
Looking at the silent Su Yizhuo, Wei Dongning felt a wave of self-reproach wash over her: "Brother, you've suffered so much. You had such a hard life in your past life, and you still had to take care of me, this burden."
"Don't talk nonsense. Without you, my life would be so much less fun."
Just like when they were kids, Su Yizhuo flicked Wei Dongning's forehead.
Watching her clutch the spot where she was flicked and cry out in pain, she grinned like a boy who had successfully pulled off a prank.
In any case, it was God who was kind to him, allowing him to reunite with his sister again, and in good health.
Xiao Fu watched them from afar. Although she couldn't hear what they were discussing, she felt that the atmosphere between them was strange.
It was as if if they said a few more words, the two of them would burst into tears.
She was just thinking about whether to do something to ease the tension between them when they had already moved on to the next stage.
This made her pull back the step she had taken.
Unable to contain her questions, she looked at the man standing like a pillar on the other side with a puzzled expression: "Brother Guard, has your prince been this... carefree lately?"
She had also been in contact with the Second Prince before.
However, the second prince back then wasn't as versatile as he is now.
The guard nodded heavily: "You'll get used to it."
From the moment the Crown Prince assigned tasks to the Second Prince, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, and he completely let loose.
Over time, those close to them have gotten used to it.
At least for those of us who were guards, his treatment of his servants was not much different from before.
After "consulting" about her own little matter, Wei Dongning finally realized that they had important business to attend to when they went out today.
Putting aside her playful mood, she became concerned about Su Yizhuo's marriage: "What kind of betrothal gifts have you prepared? I'd like to help you supplement them."
Su Yizhu waved to the man with the pillar, and the man immediately placed the prepared betrothal gift list into Wei Dongning's hands.
Xiao Fu also came over and glanced at the form, his mouth gaping wider and wider as he looked at it.
Sure enough, with a large and wealthy family, they are indeed rich.
It's better for her not to watch it; watching too much might cause her to have nightmares.
Wei Dongning went from reading aloud as she watched to becoming increasingly silent as she watched.
He slammed the form shut and patted it back into Su Yizhuo's arms: "Sometimes I really want to fight you rich people."
She could be considered somewhat wealthy now, but compared to him, she's nothing.
With these things, what else is needed?
All she could think of was adding ten or eight more handsome men.
"She's so young and she's being forced to marry me, I should at least give her something in return, right?" Su Yizhuo said matter-of-factly as he caught the slipping gift list.
It was as if marrying him was a huge loss for Zhong Shuyue.
Since Su Yizhuo felt that this was not enough, Wei Dongning had no choice but to accompany him and tour all the shops, big and small, in the capital.
Fortunately, before Wei Dongning felt her legs were about to shrink by two sizes from walking so much, she managed to buy a few small items that weren't on the gift list.
Wei Dongning supported Xiao Fu, rubbing her legs with lingering fear.
Who says shopping is only for girls?
When men really go shopping, they can be more than just a little scary.
Like a wind-up toy, it just won't stop.
Gu Peiyan hadn't gone far after leaving the Censorate when she ran into their group.
He took Wei Dongning from Xiao Fu and let her lean against him.
He didn't forget to politely greet Su Yizhuo: "Your humble servant greets the Second Prince."
"There are no outsiders here, no need to be so polite." Su Yizhuo was as happy to see Gu Peiyan as he was to see his think tank: "Since you're here too, could you help me check if there's anything I need to add to this list?"
If Wei Dongning didn't know Su Yizhuo well enough, she would really think he was showing off in front of Gu Peiyan.
After all, compared to what he prepared, what Gu Peiyan had prepared was simply not in the same league.
After reading the list, Gu Peiyan's eyes darkened for a moment, but she quickly composed herself and respectfully handed the list back: "In my opinion, Your Highness's list is already quite satisfactory. I really don't know what else to add."
"Ah... alright then. It's getting late, you should go home. I won't keep you two any longer." Su Yizhuo handed the form back to the guard, giving them a knowing look that only Wei Dongning could understand.
While Wei Dongning remained silent, he silently said to her, "Keep it up!"
Wei Dongning just wanted to escape this guy whose head was full of nothing but lewd nonsense as soon as possible, and then write a letter to Zhong Shuyue, asking her why she was so foolish as to fall for this good-looking guy.
If there were an ophthalmology hospital in this era, she would definitely make an appointment for Zhong Shuyue to have her eyes checked.
However, not having to accompany Su Yizhuo shopping anymore is a cause for celebration.
Wei Dongning grabbed Gu Peiyan and ran.
She was afraid she wouldn't make it in time if she didn't run.
After rushing back to the mansion, Wei Dongning collapsed onto the bed.
She was really exhausted.
Now I'm too lazy to even move a finger.
Turning her head to look at Gu Peiyan, who seemed hesitant to speak, she said, "Just say what you have to say."
"Marrying me is a disservice to you."
"Xiao Wu, I need a translator. I heard every word he said, but I still can't quite understand it." Wei Dongning's brain was too tired after a long day to process what he was saying.
Xiao Wu: I'm studying how to understand human emotions, don't mention it.
Seeing that Wei Dongning hadn't replied for a long time, Gu Peiyan's feelings of inferiority deepened.
Then her puzzled voice came from not far away: "I don't understand what you're saying."
"The list of betrothal gifts I prepared that day was quite simple compared to that prepared by the Second Prince."
Gu Peiyan had one more thing she didn't dare say: If Wei Dongning hadn't been bestowed upon him by His Majesty as his wife, but instead married the Second Prince, all that wealth and status would have been hers. It would have been far more carefree than marrying him.
It's fortunate he didn't say it out loud, otherwise Wei Dongning would definitely have gotten up and slapped him, telling him that she doesn't play the orthopedic game.
Right now, she just found what Gu Peiyan was saying rather funny: "His father is the emperor, what can't he have? You're like comparing who can walk faster to a cripple, it's completely meaningless."
"That's true, but there's no need to be so blunt. Be careful, the walls may have ears."
Gu Peiyan felt that he was also quite pathetic; her casual remark had swept away the gloom in his heart.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm hungry, here's your chance to show off."
