Song Dynasty Dreams: Marrying Zhao Pan'er at the beginning-Chapter 56 - Zhao Paner’s Gratitude
Chapter 56 Zhao Pan’er’s Gratitude
“There are no regrets in this world!”
Song Yinzhi murmured Gao You’s words to herself, and with that, the last bit of attachment she had for Zhou She vanished completely.
All this time, Zhou She had spoken countless grand promises, as if he could move the entire capital of Bianjing for her. But when it came down to it, he wasn’t even willing to buy her a single hairpin that she thought looked nice!

Because he never once considered things from her perspective. At this moment, Song Yinzhi no longer cared whether Zhou She was rich or if he had lied.
Even if he was the wealthiest man alive—if he didn’t hold a place for her in his heart, what was the point? Because today, she had seen what a man who truly cherishes his beloved actually does.
“Master Zhou.”
Song Yinzhi looked at Zhou She seriously.
“This is the end for us.”
“Huh?”
Zhou She stared at her in disbelief.
“Why?”
“Just because I was scared of the tiger?”
“Everyone gets scared, Yinzhi! Trust me, I’ll train my courage when we go back!”
Even at this point, he was still avoiding the real issue!
Song Yinzhi shook her head.
“Master Zhou, it’s not that I don’t believe you.”
“You do have courage.”
“But you don’t have me in your heart. We’re done.”
Zhou She couldn’t believe it. He never expected her to be so decisive. Just like that—she was breaking up with him?
“Please leave.”
Sun Sanniang glared at Zhou She, making it clear that if he didn’t walk out the next second, he’d be thrown out. Zhou She glanced at the objects scattered around the teahouse.
With a furious expression, he stormed out of Zhao’s Teahouse. If it weren’t for that bastard Gao You meddling, he would never have been humiliated like this!
“He’s gone?”
Zhao Pan’er, who had just snapped back to reality, looked at Zhou She’s departing figure in surprise.
Song Yinzhi scoffed.
“He’s a pervert, a coward, and he doesn’t even love me!”
“He talks big but never takes action!”
“I must’ve been blind to fall for him in the first place!”
Hearing this, Zhao Pan’er knew that Song Yinzhi had truly come to her senses. This was good. She no longer had to worry about her being deceived by Zhou She.
“Good for you!”
Sun Sanniang patted Zhao Pan’er’s shoulder, then waved to the others.
“Alright, everyone go home!”
“What about all these things?”
Xiao Lingdang asked, looking at the teahouse full of newly bought items. Sun Sanniang pushed her towards the door.
“Someone will take care of them!”
“When I say leave, you leave!”
With that, Xiao Lingdang and the others were ushered out, leaving only Zhao Pan’er and Gao You in the teahouse.
Should they say something?
For a moment, Gao You couldn’t think of a topic.
Meanwhile, Zhao Pan’er lowered her head, embarrassedly reflecting on her actions.
Did I really just hug Gao You in front of everyone?
That was too much!
Shaking her head, she quickly pushed those thoughts aside.
She turned to look at Gao You.
“Gao Lang!”
“Hmm?”
Gao You met her gaze.
Zhao Pan’er spoke seriously.
“From now on, you are not allowed to buy everything I look at!”
“It’s too wasteful!”
Gao You nodded—but he had no intention of listening. Of course, he wouldn’t just buy everything she glanced at from now on.
That kind of shopping spree did bring in some unnecessary stuff. But the things she truly liked? He’d never hesitate to buy them for her. After all, money was no issue.
Having warned him not to waste money, Zhao Pan’er quickly went to clean up the items. Just as Gao You stood up to help, Zhao Pan’er stopped him.
“Gao Lang!”
“You are the man of the house. You cannot do such trivial tasks!”
“If people see you, they’ll laugh at you!”
Gao You shrugged indifferently. Since when do I care about being laughed at?
Seeing that he still wanted to help, Zhao Pan’er firmly said, “Stop!”
“These are gifts from you—I want to put them away myself!”
Hearing that, Gao You had no choice but to let her be. With every item she picked up, a wave of sweetness filled Zhao Pan’er’s heart.
Tidying up wasn’t even a chore for her—it was pure happiness. An incense stick’s time later, she had carefully put everything away.
“Gao Lang, let’s go home!”
Gao You, who had been casually reading Mencius, set down his book. To his surprise, he had completely memorized and understood the text without even realizing it. This newfound photographic memory was truly powerful.
Not only had it enhanced his memory—it had taken his comprehension skills to terrifying heights.
“Gao Lang?”
Zhao Pan’er tilted her head, looking at him curiously. Gao You stood up and stretched out his right hand, as if waiting for her to hold it.
“Let’s go!”
Zhao Pan’er smiled sweetly and walked up to him, intertwining her fingers with his as they stepped out of the teahouse. Gao You was slightly surprised. Usually, Zhao Pan’er wouldn’t hold his hand in such an intimate way.
“What are you looking at?”
She blushed under his gaze. Gao You chuckled. “Looking at a fairy. My lady is truly breathtaking.”
Zhao Pan’er’s cheeks turned even redder, and she lowered her head shyly. Under the moonlight, the two walked slowly along the stone-paved road by the river. There were barely any people around.
At this moment, it felt as though the whole world had faded away, leaving only the two of them. Zhao Pan’er instinctively leaned closer to Gao You, feeling a deep sense of happiness.
Marrying Gao You had once felt like a disaster—a cruel twist of fate. At one point, she had truly felt despair. She had resented the heavens for their unfairness. But now, she felt nothing but gratitude.
Grateful that she had met Gao You.
Grateful that she had become his wife.
“Gao Lang!”
She tilted her head, looking at him with a soft gaze.
Gao You turned to her.
“Hmm?”
With a bright smile, Zhao Pan’er said, “Can you take me somewhere when you have time?”
