Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 120 Getting along again
Gu Jinheng spoke in a very low voice, as if to coax her, and enumerated his mistakes, "You have been married to me for five years, and I didn't know how to respond to your feelings, so I just accepted them. I seemed quite cold to you, and I didn't care about you enough. I didn't even know what you liked to eat."

"I didn't even tell you how I felt about you, and I made you suffer a lot. I know I was wrong. I was so irresponsible and lowly, so it's reasonable for you to distrust me. What's more, it was because I failed to supervise my subordinates that you were sacrificed."

The pain in his eyes was no less than hers, full of pity and guilt. He said so many words in a row and even lowered his head to observe her expression.

It was as if Pei's tears were rare treasures in the world, heartbreaking as they passed away.

"Are you stupid? You won't live if I die. Are you going to commit suicide after finding my remains?" Pei Nai clenched his fist and punched Gu Jinheng in the chest.

Pei Nai didn't shed a tear even when the long sword pierced through his body, but he was sad about this.

Gu Jinheng let her vent and felt that Pei Nai was not blaming him but was worried about him.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he smiled, "Don't be angry, you're back, right? I'm happy every day, and I won't be depressed as long as you're still alive."

Pei Nai looked at him in feigned anger.

Gu Jinheng slowly and tentatively reached out his hand, and when he saw that she did not resist, he embraced her in his arms again.

It turned out that his pressure could also reveal joy. Pei Nai couldn't describe it, but he could clearly feel the changes around him.

Gu Jinheng bent down, gently rested his head on her forehead, and said in a low voice: "In the past ten years, I have wanted to hold you like this every moment, almost going crazy. After you came back, I was afraid of making you angry, so I didn't dare to do this. Now I am so happy, just like when I lifted your veil on our wedding night."

"You've liked me so early? No way." Pei Nai seized the opportunity and asked back.

Gu Jinheng shook his head slightly. "At that time, I just felt that I had a wife. Maybe I would not be lonely anymore because you took the initiative to choose me. To me, you are like a gift from God."

Pei Nai was about to cry again, "Why did you live such a miserable life before and never tell me about it?"

"But I felt very lucky to have followed you for those five years. I don't want to bring up the past to make you worry. The past was turbid and dark, but you were so pure and flawless. I didn't want them to get close to you, so I never told them." Gu Jinheng said slowly.

Pei Nai looked up at him and said, "Have you learned any love words from anyone in the past ten years? Why do you keep saying them one after another?"

Gu Jinheng lowered his head, looked at the watery light in Pei Nai's eyes, stroked her cheek with his hand, and asked uncertainly: "Does Nai'er forgive me now?"

Pei Nai felt that it would be difficult for them to return to their previous state in a short period of time, and she also needed time to adapt to Gu Jinheng's changes.

She then said, "There is no resentment anymore, I think it is forgiveness, but we are no longer engaged, so... let's start living together again?"

The last sentence seemed like a dream, causing Gu Jinheng's pupils to dilate.

He stood there in a daze, and his eyes seemed to explode with a bright light in an instant.

At this time, another group of people came over from not far away.

Hearing the footsteps of people in the rain, Pei Nai realized that she was still in his arms, so she took two steps back.

The sound of gurgling water continues.

Looking at this scene, Da Xian said in disbelief: "I just went to the camp and Mingzhi forgave him?"

Han Ruize watched from a distance for a long time and understood Pei Nai's choice. His expression was full of sorrow and he turned away.

Pei Nai looked at Han Ruize's back, feeling a little sad.

No matter what she does, someone is bound to be sad.

Gu Jinheng pursed his lips and waved his hand in front of Pei Nai's eyes, "Are you hungry? I'll make you some food."

Pei Nai came back to her senses and nodded. Gu Jinheng didn't dare to hold her hand, so he gestured in the direction, and Pei Nai followed him under the umbrella.

Through the hazy rain, Da Xian was anxiously jumping up and down behind him, "No, what's going on? Can this be forgiven?"

Everyone dispersed immediately and no one answered him, leaving Da Xian standing there in confusion.

Da Xi Shangle and Shao Liran happened to pass by. They had just returned from somewhere having fun. Shao Liran was holding an umbrella for Da Xi Shangle.

Da Xi Shangle gave Da Xi An a sympathetic expression, which was charming and playful.

Shao Liran had a smile on his face as he looked at Da Xi Shangle's profile, seemingly unable to take his eyes away.

Another one charmed?
"What's so great about being a couple?" Da Xian muttered to himself as he watched how long it would take for them to separate this time.

When Gu Jinheng brought the meal over, Pei Nai had already changed his clothes, re-bandaged his wound, and was reading the urgent news about the Valley Kingdom on his desk.

Outside the window, the initial drizzle gradually turned into a heavy rain, pouring down.

Gu Jinheng put the food box on the table, laid out the bowls and chopsticks one by one, glanced at what she was doing, and then softly called her to come and eat.

Now they were not in the Duke Duanding's Mansion in Chaoyang City. Gu Jinheng was in a hurry to send troops and did not bring any servants to serve him, so the two of them did not need to be so particular.

Gu Jinheng just asked her what she wanted to eat.

She felt that the overflowing soup from the celebratory banquet at noon made her mouth extremely greasy, and she didn't want to trouble him any more, so she said she wanted to drink some plain porridge to fill her stomach, and Gu Jinheng made it for her.

Pei Nai put down his documents and came to help Gu Jinheng set the table. In addition to the white porridge, he also made a few side dishes to go with the porridge.

Looking at the dishes being served one by one, Pei Nai couldn't help but sigh: "When did you learn to cook? I didn't even know it."

"During the five years I followed Li Sanniang, she didn't care about my meals, so I learned to cook by myself." Gu Jinheng said calmly, looking at the food box, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he had some regrets, "It's a pity that I never cooked for you after we got married."

He suddenly began to blame himself again, and Pei Nai quickly said, "It's okay, it's not too late to eat now, and I can't cook anyway."

What she actually wanted to say was that between Gu Jinheng and the chef at Duke Duanding's mansion, she would choose the latter. Fortunately, she stopped in time, otherwise wouldn't it have hurt his confidence?

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down like a bucket.

Pei Nai was a little worried. "They said Han Ruize rode out of the village on horseback, and we don't know if he has returned."

Gu Jinheng glanced at her, his eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness, and said, "He has hands and feet, and he knows the roads outside the village better than anyone else. Why are you worried about him?"

"Alas, you don't understand." Pei Nai said casually while looking outside.

Immediately, the surrounding people began to feel unconcealable jealousy.

Pei Nai noticed it and smiled, "Why did you target Han Ruize so much before? You even offered the Hunxi Whip as a reward for the Dengyun Heroes Conference."

"He made it impossible for me to find your burial place and separated us." Gu Jinheng said unhappily, "Besides, I didn't really want to humiliate the Han family."

Pei Nai was amused, and walked over to touch his face like a pervert, "I know, you did this evil thing yourself."

Gu Jinheng looked normal, except that the tips of his ears were a little red.

"Please sit down quickly, otherwise the porridge will get cold soon." Gu Jinheng reminded.
