I Married Female Lead's Crush Chapter 21

Qing Qing……

Su Qing couldn't help but quiver, slightly rubbed her gooseb.u.mps arm as her heart pounding inside.

When other people use intimate words to call their lovers, it sounds so romantic and gentle, but how come from the Seventh Lord's mouth, it sounds more like the king of h.e.l.l asking for someone's life.

"Come here."

While she still lost in thought, Gu Zifu waved his hand calling her.

Su Qing gently lowered her eyelids to restrain the abnormal emotions in her eyes and walked toward him. Once she saw Gu Zifu only wearing thin inner garment, she hurriedly helped him to go into the house.

"It's cold outside, the Seventh Lord should pay more attention to your body."

Normally, at this time Gu Zifu is still sleeping. Although the weather is getting warmer, since the last time eunuch Changsheng mentioned that Gu Zifu was injured, Su Qing started to pay more attention to his health. It was not for any other reason, just simply a person's conscience and kindness. After all, the Seventh Lord has never done anything bad to her except scaring her.

Gi Zifu did not struggle letting her support him go into the house. By the time they got inside and saw Su Qing was searching in the wardrobe looking for thick clothes, his eyes faintly fluctuated a bit and smiled lightly. He then shouted outside, "Come in."

His voice was not loud, but Gu Li's ears seemed to have his ears open the whole time.The moment he heard Gu Zifu's voice, he came in right away. His wrist was still wrapped around with the rattan, but the arrogance a moment ago has completely disappeared. He bowed his head and obediently called, "Seventh Uncle."

Gi Zifu languidly said "hmm" as his fingertips gently rubbing his coat and asked, "When did you come back?"

"This morning."

Upon hearing his response, Su Qing looked at him in surprise.

When she returned, she saw the whole Gu Mansion was very excited and could not wait to welcome this Young Master's arrival, yet the moment he arrived, he didn't go to pay his respects at the Old Madam and his mother first, instead ran to this Gu Courtyard to find her trouble. Could it be this Young Master has a bad blood with the original body? 

From a glimpse of the corner of her eyes, she saw a plate of fruit cake on the table, Su Qing bowed her head to touch her flat stomach, only to feel the inside rumbling badly. Since this morning after getting up, because she wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, she didn't have time to drink a drop of water, and now feeling a little hungry. Su Qing carefully took a quick glance at Gu Zifu and saw him did not look at her side, then with a light action, moving a small step to pull the pastry to be in front of her and reached out to take a piece and her small mouth ate it up bit by bit.

Eh, still hot?

Su Qing did not think much of it, she only felt the flour of the pastry combining with pine nuts and walnuts, with a little bit of honey sweetness, it's very sweet and delicious.

Gu Li who was standing on the side for a while and did not hear the movement, looked up his head and saw his uncle was looking at Su Qing with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth and his eyes revealed a warm gentleness. Seeing this, Gu Li's heart felt somewhat jealous. 

His age and Su Qing are similar. He usually hung out with the sons of n.o.ble families, so more or less he has heard from about this ten princess, the beloved daughter of the deceased emperor. Anyway he has never heard anything good about her. His Seventh uncle is so good, but unfortunately ended up being matched with this poison woman, G.o.d is blind ah.

"Seventh uncle, I am here to ask you to teach me." Gu Li plucked up his courage and shouted.

His shouted has attracted Su Qing's attention, immediately raised up her head and her eyes met with Gu Zifu as he didn't have time to retract his gaze yet. Su Qing's heart dropped a beat and the pastry struck her throat. Her small face turned red, coughing violently. After coughing a few times, Su Qing felt her skin burning badly, she quickly grabbed half of the pastry that she just ate and ran out of the house. Dissing inside, her horoscope is absolutely not in line with Gu Zifu, born to commit a crime.

"Seventh…." Gu Li wanted to say something m, but when he saw his uncle cold expression looking at him, he immediately shut his mouth.

Gu Li instantly was s.h.i.+vering like a baby quail, shrinking his neck and said in a low voice, "Seventh, Seventh uncle, I want to join the army, want to be a great hero of the country, but my mother said my martial arts is not good, I won't be able to defeat the enemy…., Seventh uncle has experienced on the battlefield and was also personally appointed as a great general by the emperor. I don't believe what outside people view you as, I only believe in my own eyes." Gu Li clenched his fists and the bottom of his eyes revealing the young man's fiery firm will, "As long as the Seventh uncle willing to teach me, I will certainly learn it properly and will not complain a word of hards.h.i.+p. If the Seventh uncle does not agree, I will kneel here until you agree." After saying this, with a "pounce" Gu Li kneeling to the ground. With a firm expression not a slightest if hesitation.

Hi Zifu stared at him with a pair of his fox-like eyes and the bottom of black eyes were so deep, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Li'er." The sound of footsteps was accompanied by an anxious female voice.

He looked up and saw his mother standing outside the door painting. After taking a few deep breaths, she walked over to Gu Li's side, seeing Gu Zifu's expressionless face looking at her, she felt the hair on her scalp stood up, "Li'er is still young, did not understand things. If he has offended the Seventh Lord, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

As soon as she finished her sentence, she did not look at Gu Zifu's facial expression and quickly pulled Gu Li out.

"Mother, in the letter you have agreed to me. You said once I come back …."

"Chunsao, where are the people I had you bring them with, why still not quickly bring back the Young Master?" Ding s.h.i.+ shouted at the person outside.

The moment her words fell, the servants outside immediately rushed in, pulling Gu Li on the way out, but no one dared to look inside. Gu Li is still struggling and refused to leave.

"Let go! Let go of my hands, or I will teach you all a hard lesson!"

"Shut up!" Ding s.h.i.+ coldy yelled, "You all move faster."

No matter how hard Gu Li tried to resist, he could not win against so many people. At the crucial moment seeing that he was about to drag out of the door way, he gritted his teeth and his hands tightly grabbed the door frame, insisted not to leave.

While the two sides were in deadlock, there came a low deep voice.

"What kind of weapon do you use?"

The moment Gu Li heard this, the bottom of his eyes lit up, he struggled to push the people around him away, immediately knelt in front of Gu Zifu's feet and happily replied, "Seventh uncle, I like to use the halberd."

Ding s.h.i.+ looked at him in concern.

Gu Zifu nodded, "Come back at this time tomorrow."

Hearing him say this, Gu Li knew that he had agreed and hurriedly thanked him. He wanted to say more other stuff, but was pulled out of the Gu Courtyard by Ding s.h.i.+. Looking at Ding s.h.i.+ 's appearance is obvious that she didn't agree with the matter.

After everyone left, the bright open room suddenly became quiet. It was rare for Gu Zifu to stare at the distance in a daze, until a slight noise outside brought him back to his mind. The corner of his eye slightly raised up and the gaze fell on the half-eaten of fruit pastry.

In a trance, murmured to himself, “No wonder there is something missing…”

Having said that, he got up and went out.

……….

That box, Su Qing lazily lying on the table, her eyes slightly squinting, looking very sleepy.

Last night, afraid of the palace people would come to find them trouble again, she and Chuntao were on full guard the whole time. Now, after having filled her stomach with breakfast, the sleepiness has attacked her, she then called Chuntao to clean up the next room, so that she can take a good nap.

In the room, Chuntao touched the soft cotton quilt and smiled at her: “Your Highness, sister Shuangqiao is really good, knowing that we are back today, she specially took out the quilt for sunburned.” 

Huh?

Su Qing yawning while walking ove. She picked up the cotton quilt and smelled it, it indeed  has the smell of the sun.

How did she know they're coming back today?

Su Qing subconsciously thought Gu Zifu must have sent his spy to pay attention to the movement in the palace, after all, it was what happened last time, but she reconsidered and gave up the idea. She shook her head and thought to herself– the Seventh Lord only likes to make fun of her, he wouldn't care to count the day when she came back.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Chuntao soon finished setting up the bed, she turned around and saw Su Qing's sleepy appearance, she said with a distress, "Your Highness, quickly come to sleep, don't harm your body. I will go to burn the mind calming incense."

"En. You also didn't have a good sleep last night, so go to rest early." Su Qing patted her on the back of her hand, did not say anything more and took off her shoes and went under the cotton quilt. It only took a short time before she fell asleep.

Seeing her falling asleep, Chuntao put down the curtain and went to get a piece of mind calming incense. When she came back, she saw Gu Zifu was standing by the bed and almost freak her out. 

"Seventh Lord." She bowed her head.

Gu Zifu turned to look at her with a frown, after awhile he finally remembered who she was and asked, "What is it?"

"…..this, this servant has brought the mind calming incense…." Chuntao lit up the incense with trembling hands and put it on the table next to the bed. Because of panic she b.u.mped into the corner of the table and made a loud noise. Causing Su Qing who was in a deep sleep slightly disturbed and turned around her body.

Gu Zifu looked unhappy, staring coldly at Chuntao and said, "There's nothing else, you can go out now."

Chuntao looked at the Su Qing who was sleeping and took a quick glance at the cold-faced Gu Zifu, hurriedly bowed her head, biting her teeth and turned around to leave the room.

Su Qing who was in a deep sleep completely unaware of the whole scenario.

After seeing the eyesore person has left, Gu Zifu lifted up the curtain and what appeared in front of him was a round ball quilt, could not see anything beside the green silk outside. His Fox's eyes narrowed and his thin lips rose slowly. He then took off his coat and threw it aside, skillfully stooping his body, lifted up his legs and went into the bed. Gu Zifu just got out of the bed, still wearing the coat that was put on by Su Qing a while ago and now after taking it off, there only left with his inner garment.

Su Qing seemed to sleep restlessly, and turned over her body, her small head slightly moved forward and happened to be in the arms of Gu Zifu, who had just laid down half of his body. Gu Zifu's body rigid instantly, looking down at the small head in his bosom, opened the quilt and carefully lying down. After lying down, he saw Su Qing in her pink nightgown and her small light red face, the black hair scattered everywhere, revealing a beautiful face and her chest rises and falls with the sound of shallow breathing, like a delicate pink flower bud. Gu Zifu looked at her with interest, his slender finger slightly poked at her dimple, feeling his finger became a little bit hot and it seemed to be softer than normal. He thought of the last time incident inside the carriage, Su Qing's delicate sitting in his arms, the corner of Gu Zifu's mouth raised up. He pressed on her sleeping acurepoint, putting his hand on the little girl's waist, without hesitation immediately rolled a person into his embrace.

Hmm, a very soft little ball. Remembering when Da Bai was little, he also had this kind of feeling whenever he hugged him, very soft and fluffy like a little ball. At that time he adored it so much, but later on Da Bai grew up and could not hold anymore. At that time, he just joined the military camp, enjoying killing the enemy the most when the hot blood was sprayed on his hands, where would he have time to treasure those feelings. However, somehow today he felt the soft spot that hidden inside his heart was scratched by a claw, tickling it. Gu Zifu lowered his head, looking at Su Qing with greedy eyes and then pinched on her face a few more times.

Hm, she's his.
