Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 289 Learning to Walk

Afterwards, they didn't know what happened, but most of the people in the building were men without any support.

Once thrown out, it will definitely be a dead end.

Therefore, when they heard Wangcai, who was beside the boss, say that the boss asked Qingluan to have a good rest, they thought they had heard it wrong.

After standing there for a while, Qingluan said weakly, "If that's the case, let's go back."

All he wanted now was to lie down.

Qingluan walked back with unsteady steps, as if she was about to fall.

Not long after he returned, a servant from upstairs really came over with a bowl of brown sugar water and placed it on the table.

"Top star, this is what the boss had cooked for you. Drink it while it's hot."

"Boss, do you have anything else to say to me?" Qingluan asked.

The person who brought the brown sugar water shook his head.

After the man went back, Qingluan wiped the lip balm off her lips, took off the headdress that was so heavy that it could bend his neck, picked up the spoon, and drank a sip of brown sugar water.

Wu Yan said strangely, "It feels like the boss has been possessed today. How could he be so kind?"

"Who knows."

Qingluan didn't want to think about those things now, he just wanted to have a good rest.

After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water, he felt his stomach warmer. Although it still hurt a little, it was no longer as painful as before, leaving him without the strength to even walk.

After changing into simple clothes, Qingluan asked Wuyan to bring the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

The person in the mirror also curled his lips slightly, looking as haggard as he was.

The downstairs was still bustling with activity.

The woman who paid but didn't see Qingluan's performance angrily said, "Boss, what do you mean by this? I spent the money, so why hasn't Qingluan come out yet?"

The madam explained, "He's not feeling well today. I'll ask our Nightingale to come and serve you later, okay?"

The woman continued angrily, "I want to see Qingluan today, otherwise, don't blame me for smashing your store."

The madam's face grew colder and she returned the fifty taels of silver to her.

"Ms. Wang, I just told you that Qingluan is not feeling well. I'll let you see him next time you come, but not today. The Nightingale in our building is not bad either, would you consider it?"

The Wang family also does business in the capital, and Miss Wang came here today just to have fun.

"Forget it. Then you can ask Nightingale to accompany me later."

Miss Wang was just saying that to scare the madam.

If she really smashed up Zuihonglou, she wouldn't know how much money she would have to pay in compensation. If her family found out, she would probably be scolded.

The others were a little disappointed that they didn't see Qingluan perform again, but the other performances made them enjoy themselves so much that they forgot about Qingluan.

......

night.

When everyone was asleep, Qingluan tossed and turned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.

Thinking about what happened today, he found it even harder to sleep.

The person looked either rich or noble, and when she came down from upstairs, she did not have the fragrance of the men in the building, which meant that she was not there for pleasure.

In that case, what is she doing here?

He only knew what kind of organization was on the top floor of Zuihonglou. Normally, the boss would not allow them to go up there, and sometimes some strangers would come up from the other side, looking like they were doing something.

Could it be that she also went up there to do some business?

The more Qingluan thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.

He closed his eyes, and Gu Qingyuan's figure slowly emerged in his mind, and later he even dreamed of her.

After leaving Zuihonglou, Gu Qingyuan returned home.

After she returned home, she asked someone, "Has anyone come to the house during the days I was away?"

The servant of the Gu family who was questioned by Gu Qingyuan shook his head and replied, "No."

Gu Qingyuan returned to her room.

After much thought, she decided to go and visit Wen Shubai and the baby girl.

When she came to Wen Shubai's room, Wen Shubai was very happy to see her, but when he smelled the fragrance on her that did not belong to her, his brows frowned slightly and his expression immediately drooped.

"Where did my wife go today? Why did she come back only now?"

Logically, she should have been able to return home during the day since she went to southern Xinjiang to handle Lingyu's household registration, but she didn't come back until almost evening.

Moreover, she had a faint fragrance of another man on her body, which made him feel very pungent.

"I had some things to deal with, so I came back late."

Gu Qingyuan came over to see him before she even had time to change her clothes.

Wen Shubai felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. She still refused to tell him the truth.

"What about you? Have you eaten?" Gu Qingyuan asked him.

"I've eaten." Wen Shubai's tone was calm.

"By the way, I've already dealt with Lingyu's problem. Coincidentally, there's a man of similar age who's missing due to a flood, so I let Lingyu borrow his identity."

By then, even if the Queen brought people to ask, Gu Qingyuan would have a reasonable and formal excuse.

In this way, Lingyu is no longer an "illegal household".

To register for household registration, one needs proof from relatives or neighbors, so Gu Qingyuan gave those people a hush money and asked them to provide proof to Ling Yu.

Wen Shubai didn't say anything and leaned quietly on the edge of the bed.

"Oh, by the way, I still have to go see the kids."

After saying that, Gu Qingyuan rushed outside again and went to the next room to visit the two children.

When Liu Shui saw her, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master."

"No need to be polite."

Gu Qingyuan glanced at him and then went to see the child.

They had just been fed and were lying in their respective beds. I don't know what they were thinking, but they were still laughing.

After seeing Gu Qingyuan, the older An An wanted her to hold him. Gu Qingyuan picked up An An and put her face close to his to tease him.

In order not to appear partial, after holding An An, Gu Qingyuan put him back and picked up the girl born to Wen Shubai.

Speaking of which, because of the Lingyu incident, she hadn't had time to name the girl.

In addition to Liu Shui, there were two servants in the room who were responsible for taking care of the child. Gu Qingyuan held the child for a while, and felt her arms a little sore, so she put her back.

What she didn't expect was that An An actually staggered to her feet and stood there.

He stood on the cot, straining his legs as if trying to jump up.

Liu Shui said in surprise: "Young Master An An must want to learn how to walk."

However, after standing for a while, he sat back down and started crying.

Gu Qingyuan went over to coax him, put shoes and socks on him, and let him stand on his legs.

An An stopped crying immediately after standing up again. Gu Qingyuan took his little hand and took him for a walk.

"By the way, we can ask the carpenter to make a baby walker then."

When An An finishes using it, her other child can also use it, so there is no waste at all.
