Chapter 896



896 So heart-wrenching

Lu Zheng returned to the Gu family and packed his luggage.

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui came over to say goodbye to him.

Cai Xiaolian had given him a lot of instructions, just like a mother giving instructions to her son on a long journey.

Lu Zheng was not impatient at all and nodded in agreement.

After Cai Xiaolian was done, Gu Hui said, ” “When you become a great general, I’ll go to your camp to ask for advice!”

“Thank you for your kind words!” Lu Zheng smiled.

After talking for so long, Gu Xin still had not appeared. Lu Zheng knew that this girl was definitely reluctant to part with him again.

He wanted to leave immediately, but he was afraid that if he didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

However, he was sure that if he left without saying a word, little Xinxin would probably really ignore him for three years.

He informed Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui and went to Gu Xin’s courtyard.

It was already early September, and the nights were a little cold.

Gu Xin sat in front of the window, munching on melon seeds. When she was unhappy, only food could alleviate her unhappiness.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Xin lifted her head to look at Lu Zheng, before turning her head away and ignoring him.

Lu Zheng went to close the window and pulled a stool over to sit beside her. Xinxin, we agreed last time that I’ll take you to the capital to see second uncle and Auntie Lian. You won’t miss me anymore.

Gu Xin pouted and did not say a word.

Lu Zheng grabbed her shoulders and turned her around to face him.”We agreed that we could write letters! I’ll write you everything every day. I’ll tell you what I’m doing every day, when I’m thinking about little Xinxin, okay?”

Gu Xin sniffled,’but when I think about how far away you are, I feel a little sad. I’ve asked brother-in-law Chen, and he said that kun city is the gate of our great Zhou. We’re facing enemies on three sides, and a war could break out at any time.”

The brother-in-law Chen She was referring to was Lu Xue’s husband, Chen Yujiang, the current junior official of the Supreme Court.

Lu Zheng scolded his own brother-in-law in his heart, then said, ” “I’ve already promised second uncle that I’ll keep my life, so I’ll definitely be fine.”

Gu Xin hesitated for a while before stretching out her finger, ” “Then don’t lie to me! You have to write to me every month about what you’re doing every day.”

Lu Zheng reached out his hand and hooked it,”alright!” I promise!”

Gu Xin sighed and stood up, pulling Lu Zheng’s hand. “Brother Yuanyuan, I’ll send you out!”

Lu Zheng held her hand tightly. Xinxin, I promise you. I’ll be fine. When I come back, when you’re of marriageable age, I’ll tell you who my sweetheart is. That pretty, cute, smart, generous, and sweet girl with curved eyes when she smiles, okay?”

Gu Xin was stunned.

Lu Zheng hugged Gu Xin and gave her a light hug, ” “Alright, I’m leaving. Wait for my return!”

After he finished speaking, he walked away very quickly. He was afraid that he would not want to leave if he heard Gu Xin’s voice.

Gu Xin only regained her senses after a while. She chased after him but there was no one there.

She couldn’t stop her tears from flowing. She was really leaving. She wouldn’t be able to see brother Yuanyuan for a long, long time!

Also, she didn’t want to know who his sweetheart was.

I’m also pretty, cute, smart, generous, and sweet when I smile!

Why didn’t brother Yuanyuan let her be her sweetheart?

He even had to wait until she was of marriageable age to tell her such a cruel thing?

Scoundrels Zhou Yuan and Lu Zheng!

Her sister’s coming-of-age ceremony was so happy, but her own coming-of-age ceremony was going to get brother Yuanyuan’s sweetheart. It was so heart-wrenching!
