Chapter 1187: Shouldn’t Be Moved Again

Mengyu thought for a moment and said, "They went shopping. Are you going to wait here, or would you like to go handle your business and come back later?"

Gu Ming was very sure: "I’ll wait here. I must see Hai—see Minxing today!"

Haha, it’s clear he must see someone now. I thought he was a bit indecisive, but he turned out to be quite straightforward.

"Okay, then just wait here. I have something to do and need to step out for a bit."

Once Mengyu left, she immediately messaged Le De: "Gu Ming has come, have them return!"

Le De was puzzled, doesn’t the Eldest Lady dislike Gu Ming? Why is she helping him call Hai Xue back?

But the Eldest Lady’s instructions must be followed, regardless of right or wrong.

Meanwhile, Hai Xue and Gu Minxing were excitedly exploring the courtyard Gu Dongxing had recently bought.

This courtyard is much better than Mengyu’s.

Most importantly, it has a front and back courtyard. The front courtyard only has a back house, creating a small courtyard of over twenty square meters with a barrier wall. The back courtyard, formed by three straight and two ears and six side rooms with barrier walls, surprisingly has over a hundred square meters of space.

"Wow, if we put up a frame for grapes here, with a swing set under the grapevine, it’d be perfect."

"Wow, there’s a well."

"I want to plant balsam in the flowerbeds here."

"Wow, the rooms here are raised two steps."

"Mom, look how big this kitchen is, it’s even bigger than ours!"

"Wow, there’s even a vegetable garden in the back, Mom, we can grow our own vegetables to eat in the future."

"Mom, I really want to move here tomorrow."

...

Seeing her daughter’s excitement, Hai Xue felt very happy deep inside. They had a house in the Capital City now, which meant they were citizens of the Capital City.

"Lady Gu, this house needs to be cleaned, and some areas need remodeling. Like the grape frame you mentioned, it needs to be set up. Once you move in, it’ll be inconvenient to do these modifications." Le De said beside them.

"Yes, yes, your name is Le De, right? Well, I’ll trouble you with this then."

At that moment, Le De received a message from Mengyu: "Le De, Gu Ming has come, have them return."

Hai Xue noticed Le De’s slightly unusual expression and asked, "What’s wrong, Le De?"

Le De replied, "The Eldest Lady wants you to return quickly."

Gu Minxing was dissatisfied, "I haven’t finished looking around yet."

Le De thought to himself, you’ve toured every room, how is it not finished?

He could only tell Hai Xue the truth: "Gu Ming is here."

"Uh—" Hai Xue felt a subtle excitement in her heart, but her face furrowed slightly: "What’s he here for?"

Le De glanced at Gu Minxing; Gu Ming’s excuse was to see Lady Gu, but he couldn’t say that, so he simply replied to Hai Xue, "I don’t know."

Hai Xue glanced at Gu Minxing and said, "Then, let’s head back."

"Okay, you head back. I’ll stay here a while longer to see what needs repairing and make an estimate."

Hai Xue took the somewhat reluctant Gu Minxing back home to Yang’an Alley. As soon as Mengyu noticed they returned, she slipped into her room.

Gu Ming stood alone in the courtyard, eyes fixed on the gate, seemingly waiting for her to come back.

Hai Xue’s heart skipped a beat: this scene was almost like a husband waiting for his wife to return. She was startled and quickly repressed her emotions: I’ve already let him go, I shouldn’t be moved by him again. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"You’re back." Gu Ming looked at Hai Xue, his eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, yet tinged with nervousness.
