Chapter 612: Is There a Groom More Miserable Than Him?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The two little ones, although young in age, had strong practical skills. Previously, Feng Yuanxi had servants to attend to his daily needs, but since staying with Gu Qingluan, he learned from Gu Xiaonan to do things himself.
After they changed their clothes, brushed their teeth, and washed their faces, Gu Qingluan took them to have breakfast.
Feng Tianlan was already waiting for them there.
Perhaps because he got the advantage to be with Gu Qingluan last night, Gu Xiaonan didn’t give Feng Tianlan a hard time today.
Gu Qingluan gave him a meaningful glance.
This guy clearly took advantage of the situation but now looked as if he were the one who had been wronged. He was truly a wasted talent; he could have been a great actor.
During breakfast, Gu Qingluan discussed their plans for the next few days.
She intended to set off for the Qiankun Academy the day after tomorrow and asked Feng Tianlan about his plans.
Feng Tianlan had exceeded his expected return date, and the Holy Capital was pressuring him to return. However, since Feng Yuanxi was also going to the Qiankun Academy, he wanted to travel with them.
Gu Qingluan already guessed this, so she wasn’t too surprised.
Feng Tianlan asked, “The Qiankun Academy only allows teachers and students to live there. What are your plans if Xiaonan goes to the Qiankun Academy? Will you accompany me back to the Holy Capital?”
Hearing his words, Feng Yuanxi immediately looked at Gu Qingluan nervously.
Gu Xiaonan proudly wiggled his little eyebrows and said, “Mother is going to the Qiankun Academy too!”
Feng Tianlan was taken aback, “How are you going to get in?”
“I have my ways; you’ll find out when the time comes,” Gu Qingluan paused for a moment, wearing a playful smile as she looked at him. “So, I can’t go back to the capital with you. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of our two sons, you can go back and handle your official duties.”
Feng Yuanxi, hearing that his mother wouldn’t leave them, heaved a sigh of relief and patted his little chest.
As long as Mother didn’t leave, everything else didn’t matter.
Feng Tianlan gazed at her pensively and asked, “You had this planned from the beginning, didn’t you?”
Gu Qingluan cleared her throat lightly. “1 made up my mind when I sent Xiaonan to participate in the selection competition. He’s still so young; I couldn’t bear to leave him alone in the academy.”
“I was living on my own at his age.”
Gu Qingluan retorted, “So what? You are different from them.”
Feng Tianlan had no words in response.
“Daddy, if you miss us, you can come to the Qiankun Academy to see us,” Feng Yuanxi patted his arm and comforted him.
However, Feng Tianlan wasn’t comforted at all.
The Qiankun Academy only had one long break each year, lasting about a month.
In other words, after these few days were over, they would be staying in the academy for almost a year, leaving him alone outside?
Was there a groom more miserable than him?
Gu Qingluan knew she was in the wrong; she hadn’t informed him about her own enrollment in the Qiankun Academy before the wedding.
But then she thought about it, they were in a fake marriage after all. She also mentioned that she wouldn’t stay in the capital for long, so not telling him exactly how long she’d be away couldn’t be considered her fault, right?
Perhaps because their parting was imminent, Feng Tianlan’s expression didn’t look too pleasant.
The two little ones also became much quieter.
As they were about to finish breakfast, Bo He entered from outside and said, “Madam, there are two men who claim to be the Phantom Twin Thieves. They’ve caught Gu Qin’er and are requesting an audience. They’re currently at the main gate.”
The Phantom Twin Thieves were the ones who had taken Gu Xiaonan.
Gu Xiaonan informed Gu Qingluan about them yesterday.
He poisoned them lightly, so they couldn’t go far.
Gu Qingluan trusted her son’s judgment, so she didn’t send anyone to chase them.
Today, the two men came on their own, and they even brought Gu Qin’er with them.
Gu Qingluan ordered someone to take them to the front yard, and she followed shortly after..
