As soon as Qin Wenzheng left, Shao Qingyuan went forward and hugged Gu Yundong from behind.
âDonât worry, Iâll take good care of myself. You too. Wait for me at home. If you encounter anything that you canât resolve, look for Qin Wenzheng. Iâll take care of myself and come back as soon as possible. Also, the capital is big and has many good things. Iâll also ask around to see if thereâs any news of Bai Muzi.â
Gu Yundong lowered her head slightly and hummed.
âThere are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and the waters are very deep. I wonder if anyone will find trouble with you. However, Qin Wenzheng will definitely make arrangements for this. You donât talk much, but you still have to build a good relationship with the two people who escort you along the way. Ask more about the situation in the capital. You have to know what to do.â
Shao Qingyuanâs eyes lit up. He enjoyed her nagging.
In the past, he really didnât talk much and almost didnât interact with anyone. Now, he had changed. He had someone he cared about and he had opened a shop. As long as he was willing, basic socializing werenât difficult for him.
âAlso,â Gu Yundong suddenly became fierce as she spoke, âI heard that the women in the capital are very bold. When they meet a good-looking man, they canât help but give him a pouch or a handkerchief. There are also those who are shrewish and snatch others. You have to protect yourself, understand? Youâre not allowed to flirt with anyone.â
Qin Wenzheng was an example. How popular was he back then? It was said that he even had a few bumps because of the pouches that were thrown at him. In her heart, Shao Qingyuan was much more handsome than Qin Wenzheng and was very eye-catching.
Shao Qingyuan turned her around, held her face, and kissed her heavily. His eyes were filled with smiles. âOkay.â
Gu Yundong pursed her lips and could not help but laugh.
By the time he was done packing, Shao Qingyuan had two big bags. He did not know what Gu Yundong had stuffed into them, but they were bulging. One could tell that it was a lot.
Gu Yundong thought that it was too little. It was a pity that he did not have a spatial storage. Otherwise, she would not have to work so hard.
After everything was prepared, the few of them rested in the Shao house for the night.
The next morning, Shao Qingyuan brought Ah Mao and left with the people from the capital.
The Gu and Zeng families had woken up early to send him off. Even Keke was rubbing her eyes in Madam Yangâs arms. She waved at Shao Qingyuan and said in a childish voice, âBrother Shao, have a safe trip. Keke will miss you.â
Shao Qingyuan nodded and scanned everyoneâs faces.
Finally, his eyes landed on Gu Yundong. âIâll be back as soon as possible.â
Gu Yundong nodded. Shao Qingyuan took a deep breath and did not say anything else. He led the horse to the entrance of the village.
The rest of the Gu family sent them off at the entrance, but Gu Yundong walked a few more steps and only stopped at the village entrance.
Seeing that Shao Qingyuan was about to mount his horse, she suddenly said, âWait.â
Shao Qingyuan was stunned and came back. âWhatâs wrong?â
Gu Yundong looked behind him. Ah Mao was a sensible person. The other two also understood and immediately retreated a distance, leaving them alone.
However, one of them reminded him, âYoung Master Shao, make it short. We have to set off as soon as possible.â
Shao Qingyuan nodded. âGot it.â
After the three of them were far away, Gu Yundong took a deep breath and looked up at him with a smile. âWhen you come back from the capital, weâll get married.â
Shao Qingyuan widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
âW-What did you just say?â
