After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Chapter 683: Aboveboard

Her impression of Fu Ling changed. He was a man who knew how to deal with things. She felt that she was superficial. Perhaps men did not care about appearance, but valued inner qualities more.

"Sister Mu, how did you get to know Master Hong?" Fu Ling started gossiping after sitting down.

Hong Gu's face flushed instantly, and he felt a little hot. Then he quickly found an excuse to slip away: "Hey, I'll go get some medicine for you, you two chat."

Lu Beichen glanced at Fu Ling and followed Hong Gu: "Master, I will help you."

As soon as the man left, the two women started talking.

Fu Ling was also a good speaker, and the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.

Mu Wanting then told her about her encounter with Hong Gu. As Fu Ling had guessed, age was an unbridgeable gap between the two.

"He cares about worldly opinions and worries that our affairs will become a topic of conversation after dinner. But who can really talk about it for long? Our lives are our own. Let others talk about it. I don't care at all."

She hung her head and continued, "I wasted more than ten years with him. During these ten years, I have been searching for his whereabouts, but I always missed him by a hair's breadth. Now, I have become an old maid, and I don't know if he will despise me."

"Sister Mu, I can see that Old Hong has feelings for you. To be honest, I admire your actions very much. Women don't have much time to wait, but you did it. If Old Hong still cares about those worldly opinions this time, then I really despise him and look down on him! He is so unmanly!"

"You are not allowed to say that about him!" Mu Wanting blurted out in defense.

Then she apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it. People around me used to always slander him. I was quick-witted."

Fu Ling was not angry. It could be seen that she really liked Hong Gu and had given her whole heart to him. Fortunately, Hong Gu had not married for many years. The two of them had been separated for so long, and they could finally rekindle their relationship.

"It's okay. I understand you."

"Sister Mu, what do you think next?"

"Don't even think about getting rid of me this time. I'm determined to follow him. If he leaves without saying goodbye like before, I'll die in front of him! I'll make him regret it for the rest of his life."

Hong Gu, who had just entered the room, heard these words clearly and almost stumbled.

This young lady is a person who keeps her word. If she really dies, he will regret it deeply. When Hong Gu learned from the clan leader that it was her, he was on the verge of collapse. He blamed himself to death. If he had returned to Wanyao Valley a few years earlier, he would not have made others wait for so many years in vain.

"Don't say the word death anymore, it's unlucky!" Hong Gu said to Mu Wanting seriously.

Mu Wanting was startled, her eyes evasive. "When did you come? Did you hear everything we said?"

"No, I just came in and didn't hear you whispering."

"How could we be whispering? We were doing it openly and honestly," Mu Wanting said with a pout.

Hong Gu did not refute: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing."

He put the tray in his hand on the table: "Eat first."

Suddenly there was a grunting sound.

Mu Wanting was so embarrassed that she wanted to pick her feet. Her face flushed red and she couldn't speak clearly: "I..."

"You've been in the mountains for so long, you must be starving. Eat something quickly."

The food on the tray was made by him personally. The ingredients were all sent by the clan leader, Li Dabao, and they were all fresh seasonal vegetables. "There's no meat, so eat some. I'll go find some later."

"No, this is great. I've lived here for so long that I've gotten over my picky eating habits."

As a rich lady, she has never had to deal with housework, and it is extremely difficult for her to survive until now.

Of course, when she first arrived, she couldn't even do kitchen work. It was the kind-hearted old lady in the village who taught her for a while, so she didn't starve to death.

Hong Gu paused what he was doing and felt even more guilty.

Fu Ling stood up to help: "Master Hong, let me do it."

"No, just sit down."

Lu Beichen walked into the house carrying two plates of food.

The food was served and the four of them sat down. Three dishes and a soup made up their lunch.

"Master, after dinner I will go to the mountains and hunt some wild game for a snack." It was not his character to let his wife eat such a vegetarian meal. He always wanted to give Fu Ling the best.

Before Hong Gu could speak, Mu Wanting took the lead and said, "You can't just wander into this mountain. Even experienced hunters don't dare to go in easily."

She was still frightened and almost got trapped to death in the mountains.

But it was fortunate that she had encountered this disaster, otherwise she would be one of the bodies being burned.

"Don't worry, I have a good memory and won't get lost easily."

"You don't understand. That No Return Mountain is different from other places. If you're not careful, you'll get lost. Once you're trapped in the No Return Mountain, it's hard to get out. I was trapped there for a day and two nights. If it weren't for the smoke from the fire drifting in, I would have followed the smoke from the sky and probably still be stuck in the No Return Mountain."

There were many wild animals in there, but she was lucky that she did not go into the deep mountains and did not encounter any ferocious beasts.

Hong Gu said, "Master will go with you."

Mu Wanting's face was filled with worry, and Hong Gu comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm familiar with the mountain, and I'm 100% sure I can get out. Besides, I wouldn't feel at ease if I left you here alone."

Are you polite? Fu Ling's face was full of question marks.

Does it seem like she's no longer worthy of being a human being?

Hong Gu finally realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly corrected himself: "You are a wounded soldier, and I really don't feel at ease if Ling'er takes care of you alone."

"Are you really okay? You can't lie to me. You must not leave me alone again." Mu Wanting said aggrievedly.

Hong Gu's heart softened and he nodded: "Yes, I will never abandon you and leave you alone."

"Eat, or the food will get cold if we keep talking." Hong Gu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her bowl.

Hong Gu has come to terms with it. Forget about worldly matters. Those are invisible and intangible things. It is extremely stupid to make yourself suffer because of what others think. He has been stupid for so many years and doesn't want to make the same mistake again. This time he wants to hold her hand tightly and not let her get hurt at all.

Not everyone can be a woman who has persisted in looking for him for so many years and is willing to wait for him for seven years. He doesn't want to let this relationship down.

Mu Wanting was a little flattered, and her reflexes were slow. Only then did she realize that Hong Gu's attitude towards her seemed... seemed a little different?

What should I do when the corners of my mouth feel slightly sweet and my heart is beating uncontrollably?

I had a simple lunch. To be honest, the food cooked by people with good medical skills may not be delicious. I can only say that it is cooked, but it has nothing to do with being delicious.
