Lu Heng was stunned.

Marriage?

After a moment, he finally spoke softly, "Getting married so soon?"

Then he asked, seemingly casually, "Not trying out a few more?"

Qin Siyuan coughed lightly.

Gu Mingzhu looked at him but didn’t speak.

Gu Anxi frowned, "Lu Senior, are you sick? Do you think it’s like trying on clothes?"

Lu Heng’s expression didn’t look good. He had chased all the way to Beicheng, thinking something had happened to her, only to find out she was back in Beicheng to get married. He stared at her for a moment before turning away and leaving. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Gu Anxi shrugged, "Menopause hit."

After speaking, she glanced at Qin Siyuan and Gu Mingzhu, feeling a bit guilty.

Gu Mingzhu was also staring at her earnestly, causing her to shiver involuntarily and cough lightly, "Married just two days ago, how come you’re here already?"

Gu Mingzhu hesitated to speak.

Qin Siyuan responded on her behalf, "I have a week of marriage leave, just right to come over and see Little An. By the way, how is Little An doing now?"

He was very grateful to Gu Anxi for dealing with matters concerning Little An; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so quick.

The Chu Family is tough to deal with. Without Mr. Wang pressing, they probably wouldn’t have given up so easily.

He felt deeply moved, but his expression remained calm.

Gu Anxi’s gaze flickered slightly, "Uh, very well, but if you go over now, you might disturb them. Director Hao is inside dining with him; two more of you might make it a bit noisy."

Qin Siyuan was visibly taken aback, but after a moment he understood, recalling that director in his heart, choosing to remain silent.

Gu Mingzhu, who usually writes painful literature, couldn’t quite understand and asked in a small voice, "Why would a doctor eat with a patient? Isn’t that unprofessional?"

Gu Anxi coughed lightly, "Director Hao is the top surgical director at Yunxi, with an annual salary in the tens of millions, and he holds a doctorate."

Gu Mingzhu seemed a bit provoked, "What’s so great about a doctorate?"

Double doctorate Gu Anxi grinned, "A doctorate is indeed great."

Then, she suddenly suggested, "It’s just about mealtime, why not come back and eat at Si Garden with me."

Gu Mingzhu sneakily glanced at Qin Siyuan, and Gu Anxi placed a hand on her back, "Always looking at his face won’t do. Where’s your previous pride?"

Gu Mingzhu was at a loss for words.

Gu Anxi chuckled, glanced at Qin Siyuan, and lazily said, "Mingzhu needs to go get a big red envelope, you don’t mind, right?"

"Of course not," Qin Siyuan smiled, now willing to give Anxi some face in any case.

They all went together to Uncle Bo’s office. After she spoke about it, Bo Xichen was a bit surprised, but quickly tidied up and got up, "Alright, let’s go now, otherwise it will be too late."

The group went downstairs and drove to Si Garden.

Si Garden was particularly bustling; they also called Bo Madam while on the road. Unexpectedly, Lin Hua was also there. Gu Anxi still called her Sister Lin Hua, only calling her sister-in-law in front of King Jingyao. Lin Hua really liked her and was quite mindful of her marriage.

Seeing Gu Mingzhu at that moment, everyone was very forgiving. Madam Bo deliberately dug out some treasures to gift her and wrapped a large red envelope. Lin Hua also had people go home to fetch gifts. After accepting them, there were some tears in Gu Mingzhu’s eyes.

She wasn’t vain anymore, but she hadn’t received such kindness in a long time. Suddenly, she understood why Gu Anxi wanted to bring her back to Si Garden. After the meal, the two young women lay together in the warm room of the Orchid Room, Gu Mingzhu watching Gu Anxi basking in the sun and couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you hot?"

Gu Anxi lay there, drowsily muttering, "Not really."

Gu Mingzhu was already sweating and wanted to say something but suddenly stopped.

Was Anxi’s health exceptionally poor?

She moved closer, lay next to Gu Anxi, and whispered, "Are you still in pain?"

Gu Anxi lay there and laughed. After a while, she retorted, "Actually, I also wanted to ask you, does it still hurt?"

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then reached out to hit her, "Gu Anxi!"

She was too rotten, too wicked!

Gu Anxi muffled her laughter for a long while, then lay down with a sigh, "Gu Mingzhu, you really don’t have to be so restrained. I haven’t even touched a hair of your man."

"Really?" Gu Mingzhu blinked.

Gu Anxi turned over, placing her hands under her head, "Really."

Her voice was drawn out slowly, "It was still early then, but if it was delayed by another year or so, it probably wouldn’t have been your turn."

Gu Mingzhu lifted her small fist, wanting to hit her, but couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Anxi, would it hurt?

Gu Anxi, seeing her expression, smiled, and then seriously asked, "If Qin Siyuan and I fell into the river, who would you save?"

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, glaring at her, feeling she was being put in a tough spot.

For a while, Gu Anxi tapped her head, "You’re so dumb. Can you swim?"
