The principal's wife

  Grandfather has not been buried yet, and it's not suitable to ask about these things at this time. Gu Bei Chen can only put this matter in his heart. There will be plenty of opportunities to explore the truth in the future.

  On a deep autumn night, the cool air seeped into one's bones. Gu Bei Chen simply sent back the guards from the Gu residence who had been called to help, and in front of the quiet mourning hall, only he and Ye Shuang Shuang were left.

  The stubborn little woman, let her go to the inner hall to rest for a while, she refused to go. Now it's midnight, the cold air is getting heavier and heavier, can't bear it anymore.

  She felt a sudden weight on her back, and Ye Shanshan came back to her senses from her deep thoughts. Oh my god, she was actually wearing his military uniform! "No...no need, you wear it yourself." Ye Shanshan tried to take off the jacket and return it to him, but he held too tightly, and her small struggles were in vain.

  "I'm not cold, you see, my hands are warmer than yours." As soon as the words fell, Gu Shou's large hand had already wrapped around the small hand with slender fingers.

  Actually, he didn't know why he was doing this either. By the time he came to his senses, he surprisingly found that this feeling wasn't bad at all. No wonder couples who are dating like holding hands.

  The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that the restless little hand seemed to want to slip out of his palm, "Be good, Grandpa is still watching you."

  Isn't this threat...a bit too childish?

  Ye Shanshan involuntarily stole a glance at the "grandfather" surrounded by candlelight, obediently following orders. Not only did she abandon her idea of trying to free her hand, but she also carefully moved closer to where he was sitting. What's going on? He was only wearing an undershirt, so why was his body so warm? It made her heart flutter and involuntarily want to squeeze in next to him.

  There are some things in this world that are really amazing, once you get hooked, you can't stop.

  For example, the warmth on his body.

  Ye Shanshan had originally planned to spend the last night with her grandfather in peace. But unexpectedly, just after midnight, she was summoned by Lord Zhou for a martial arts competition.

  A troublesome little thing, you were told to rest but refused, now you're fine and still want him to hold you while sleeping.

  At first, it was just Gu Bei Chen with one arm around her. Later on, she fell into a deep sleep and both arms somehow ended up wrapped around his waist, tightly hugging him.

  Because she was holding him, that's why she could sleep so soundly. At this moment, the only emotion seen on her face is a sense of security.

  Then, Gu Shou Zhang, who had always been calm and composed when facing danger, felt his heart beating faster for the first time in his life.

  Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Gu Bei Chen muttered two words out of nowhere: "Fortunately."

  He thought that last night's decision was just because of the situation, and he had no choice. Now he finally knows that in fact, his entanglement with her is actually destined.

  The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines directly through the window and casts a hazy golden light on this quiet little hall.

  Ye Shanshan, who had been sleeping soundly for half the night, slowly woke up in this hazy golden light. Just as her eyes were about to open, Gu Beichen quickly closed his own eyes. Without a four-eyed stare, she shouldn't be too embarrassed.

  Have to say, Director Gu is really a very meticulous person.

  At this time, Ye Shanshan's face had only one expression - relief!

  Luckily he was still asleep, otherwise... her little face would have turned into a small tomato.

  What... what's going on here? Weren't they sitting quietly side by side last night? How did she end up sleeping in his arms after just one sleep?

  The more she thought about it, the more confused and flustered she became. Ye Shanshan decided to take a chance and slip away while he was still asleep. After all, he wouldn't even know, so it would be as if nothing had happened.

  When Gu Shou Zhang woke up after sleeping for half a day, Ye Shan Shan had already washed and was offering incense to her grandfather. When she received the critical illness notice, she had promised her grandfather that on the day he passed away, she would not cry.

  Today is the day she fulfills her promise.

  Sorrow and reluctance don't have to be expressed with tears, remembering grandfather's teachings and letting his soul rest in peace is the true filial piety.

  Seeing her calmly say 'good morning', Gu Bei Chen felt somewhat surprised, "You... are you okay?"

  "A brave child doesn't shed tears." Her expression was unusually calm, but her eyes were filled with determination.

  Because of this determination, Gu Bei Chen felt at ease, "You can think like that, Grandpa will definitely be very happy."

  Then he walked up slowly and couldn't help but touch her head.

  "Don't touch my head, I'm not a kid!" Ye Shanshan was genuinely trying to cheer herself up, so she resisted this doting behavior that should have been reserved for Xiao Xiao.

  His hand was pushed away by her with great force, but Gu Bei Chen didn't get angry or annoyed, "Of course you're not... yet. Very soon... you will become my wife."

  Ye Shanshan suddenly lost her fighting spirit, making an excuse that she was going out to see if the takeout breakfast had arrived, and slipped away with her head down.

  Why was she a completely different person when she was asleep and awake? Looking at her rapidly disappearing back, Gu Bei Chen muttered to himself.

  Women are indeed the most incomprehensible creatures in this world, even when they're only eighteen years old.

  After breakfast, the person in charge of the funeral home came over to inquire about the funeral arrangements. Grandpa's funeral is now counting down.

  The funeral was simple and plain, and it was completed in just half a day.

  Ning's siblings also rushed over to attend the funeral. As Ye Lao's former colleagues left one after another, these two siblings had no intention of leaving.

  "Shan Shan, you're alone at home now and neither I nor your brother feel at ease. How about...you come to my place to stay for a few days?" Ning Zi Han had already desperately tried to signal to her sister, but still couldn't stop her.

  Gu Bei Chen was just listening beside him, but he didn't express any opinion. He believed that Shan Shan would make the right decision.

  "No need, I'm not as fragile as you think." Ye Shanshan politely declined Ziyan's kindness. She said this not only to consider the presence of the leader, but also because she was now more mature than when her grandfather was alive, and would not be defeated by the loss of a loved one.

  Ning Ziyan still didn't give up, "I know you're very strong, but you're alone..."

  "She's not alone!" Director Gu finally couldn't bear it and stood up. This little girl really treated him as if he was air!

  The leader's imposing aura was overwhelming, and Ning Zi unconsciously took two steps back, carefully shrinking behind his brother.

  "Sorry, my sister doesn't understand things, don't take what she says to heart." In the end, only Ning Zihuan could come out and smooth things over.

  "Mr. Ning is being polite, and his sister is also very kind." Can't help but say, Director Gu's upbringing is really not ordinary.

  "Well... we'll take our leave first." Ning Zihuan politely extended his hand, shook hands with Gu Shouchang, and pulled his own sister to prepare to leave.

  Ning Zi said, "You go first, I still want to accompany..."

  "She has someone to accompany her, no need for you to worry!" Ning Zihans tone was somewhat urgent, sounding like he was scolding his sister, but in fact he was angry with himself. If he hadn't been so worried and anxious, if he had taken the initiative a little earlier, the person standing beside Shanshan today would have been him, and there wouldn't be any need to worry about Director Gu!

  Heaven is indeed fair, those who hesitate and look back will ultimately be punished!
