Chapter 3 Your father can't be my father
Chapter 3 Your father can't be my father
Upon hearing the familiar address, the person in front couldn't help but turn around.
Wei Dongning learned for the first time what it meant to "when fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears."
Just as he was about to run forward and embrace the person.
Gu Peiyan interrupted this tender moment by speaking up: "Miss Wei, how could you speak so offensively to the Second Prince?"
Even though the Second Prince's birth mother, Consort Wei, was Wei Dongning's aunt, it was still improper for her to refer to the Second Prince by his nickname in front of others.
Wei Dongning frowned impatiently.
She didn't know who the Second Prince was; the person in front of her was clearly her vengeful older brother who should have been in the modern world.
Wei Qiuci pretended to apologize on behalf of Wei Dongning, saying, "Third sister has always been carefree since childhood, I hope Young Master Gu will not take offense."
Unfortunately, Gu Peiyan wasn't buying her green tea act; she practically had "I don't know you" written all over her face.
His hand was still firmly gripping Wei Dongning's wrist.
The Second Prince, Su Yizhuo, had already walked up to them.
Gu Peiyan and Wei Qiuci bowed to him, saying, "Second Prince."
"I'm just out for a stroll, you two don't need to stand on ceremony."
Wei Dongning excitedly moved closer to Su Yizhuo: "Nao Nao, what are you doing here?"
This question was directed at Su Yizhuo in front of him, and also at Xiao Wu in his mind.
But Xiao Wu is a typical person who knows nothing when asked, so asking him is pointless.
The second prince looked around and said in a low voice, "This is not a good place to talk about this."
Then, taking a half-step back and smiling, she asked, "Cousin, are you here to shop too?"
Wei Dongning paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, my sister said that Zhenshulou has some new products, so I came to join in the fun."
Indeed, the idea of time travel is absurd in itself, and if it is said in public, others will definitely think that they are possessed by some kind of demon.
But she couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
The modern-day Wei Yizhuo should be living a good life, so why did she meet him here?
And he even became Su Yizhuo, the second prince of the current dynasty?
No matter how Wei Dongning called out to Xiao Wu in her mind, Xiao Wu refused to answer.
She could only place her hopes on the person involved.
"Tianxianglou's steamed pork with rice flour is exceptional. Sister, after you return to the manor, please tell Mother that I won't be going back for lunch." Wei Dongning's gaze fell on the restaurant ahead.
In a flash, this idea came to mind.
Given their mutual understanding, he should be able to figure out what he wants to do.
Their eyes met, and he winked at her, saying loudly, "Since my cousin says the steamed pork with rice flour is delicious, I'll stay and try it too."
Wei Dongning, used to it, said, "Sure, you're treating."
In the modern world, when they eat together, it's always the older brother who pays, and Wei Dongning doesn't find anything wrong with it at all.
But unexpectedly, someone next to her insisted on ruining Wei Dongning's little plan.
"I'll go as well."
The one who spoke was Gu Peiyan, who was standing to the side watching the two of them play a game of charades.
"Although the Second Prince and Miss Wei are cousins, it is still inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together."
Wei Dongning really wanted to roll her eyes.
I really appreciate his thoughtfulness.
Seeing that the group didn't seem to want to take her along, Wei Qiuci shamelessly said, "It's inconvenient for Third Sister to be alone, so I'll join everyone."
Wei Dongning had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Whether you bring one person or two, it's the same thing.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, we definitely won't be able to talk today.
Inside Tianxiang Tower, the place was bustling with noise.
The group found an empty private room and went inside.
Wei Dongning instinctively wanted to sit down next to him.
But Gu Peiyan pulled her to sit next to Wei Qiuci on the other side.
"?" Wei Dongning looked at Gu Peiyan in confusion.
His expression screamed: "Are you crazy?"
"Men and women should not touch each other."
"Then why are you still holding my hand?"
Wei Dongning pointed with her free hand to the hand that was holding her wrist.
This is the second time; it's happened twice today.
There's definitely something wrong with Gu Peiyan's head.
"I'm sorry." Gu Peiyan let go of his hand upon hearing this, her ears turning as red as if they were about to bleed.
Wei Dongning has never been so speechless in both of her lives.
This person is so rigid and boring to the extreme.
What's wrong with her sitting next to her brother?
Oh no.
He's my cousin now.
Just thinking about it makes me want to curse.
The meal was tasteless and unappetizing.
With so many people present, Wei Dongning still couldn't find out the information she wanted to know.
The old-fashioned girl sat there with a blank face, and she couldn't even manage a laugh when she wanted to say something to her brother.
She seemed to be able to foresee what life would be like after the wedding.
Before leaving the restaurant, Wei Dongning lagged slightly behind by half a step.
He lowered his voice and asked Su Yizhuo, "Could you talk to your father and cancel this arranged marriage?"
Without a second thought, Su Yizhuo replied, "Isn't my father your father too?"
Wei Dongning still had a sliver of reason left and spoke up to remind him, "Your current father can't be my father!"
They are now standing within the territory of the capital.
Who knows if there are any spies around?
If someone with ulterior motives overheard Su Yizhuo's words, it could cause an unnecessary misunderstanding.
Su Yizhuo sighed.
He forgot.
They can no longer be considered siblings.
This feeling is really awkward.
He also completely disapproved of Wei Dongning's marriage.
Unfortunately, by the time he arrived in this world, the matter was already settled.
Wei Dongning is a lively young girl.
According to the memories of this body, the old man and the young man in the Gu family were both rigid and inflexible, cut from the same mold.
She'll definitely feel stifled if she marries him.
But there was nothing he could do about the imperial edict.
Unless he seizes power and pulls his father, the emperor, off the throne.
Of course, he has no such plans yet.
Seeing how close they were, Gu Peiyan, who was not far away, frowned again.
"That's improper."
He was making his own assessment.
In his past knowledge, close relationships between men and women were considered unreasonable.
One of them was a prince of the current dynasty.
The other one will soon become his wife.
Wei Qiuci took in everyone's expressions.
She was happy as long as Gu Peiyan showed dislike for Wei Dongning.
Why does Wei Dongning always get the good things?
It seems that her married life may not be as fulfilling as it used to be.
Wei Qiuci felt a little better.
I wonder what kind of person she will end up with in the future?
She will definitely try her best to win over her husband's heart and live a life even more prosperous than Wei Dongning's.
Wei Dongning and Su Yizhuo agreed to meet again at a later time before reluctantly saying goodbye.
The snowflakes fell again, and Wei Dongning took a breath in her palm, trying to warm her cold hands.
I never imagined that my cold constitution from my past life would affect me in this one.
She forgot to bring a hand warmer with her when she went out.
The next second, a warm hand warmer was placed in her hand.

The character “卓” is the same as the “作” in “作妖” (to cause trouble), so Su Yizhuo’s nickname is Naonao.
