Chapter 53 I Want to Be a Virtuous Wife Once
After clarifying the homeowner's true situation, Wei Dongning immediately changed her mind: "I'll buy it for fifty taels, and we can go to the government office to complete the formalities now."
She had originally planned to try and negotiate a lower price.
After all, every little bit saved counts.
But now she suddenly doesn't want to keep cutting.
Together with Xiao Fu and the homeowner, we completed the handover procedures as quickly as possible.
As Wei Dongning and Xiao Fu strolled home, she felt a sense of relief.
If she had persisted in bargaining and succeeded, she would have only found out later that the old man was terminally ill.
She would wake up in the middle of the night and slap herself, saying, "I deserve to die."
After arriving home, Wei Dongning put the land deed for the newly purchased house into the small box that Gu Peiyan had prepared.
Turning back to Xiao Fu, who was ironing clothes, he patted another box and said, "Xiao Fu, this box contains the dowry I've prepared for you. Once you find your sweetheart, I will definitely give you a grand and glorious wedding."
Xiao Fu ironed the clothes even faster: "Miss, why are you bringing this up again? If I really get married, won't you be all alone?"
"I still have Xiao Wu. Besides, I can't keep you by my side forever, can I?"
Xiao Wu meowed and jumped next to Xiao Fu, wanting to show off its presence.
As a result of a miscalculation, the tail stuck to the scalding hot iron spoon.
The fluffy tail was instantly smeared into a mess.
Xiao Wu's meows have all changed in tone.
Wei Dongning heard Xiao Wu's inner sobs and picked it up from the table: "Don't move it, let me see how it is."
Xiao Wu nestled in Wei Dongning's arms, screaming incessantly.
Actually, as a "high-tech" kitten, its pain perception can be shielded.
It's crying now because its favorite tail is injured.
Xiao Fu was startled by the sudden turn of events and involuntarily let go of the iron in her hand, wanting to check on Xiao Wu's tail.
A burnt smell wafted over, and Xiao Fu quickly picked up the iron: "Oh no..."
"what happened?"
Xiao Fu, on the verge of tears, picked up the clothes, revealing a glaring black stain: "Miss, I ruined the young master's clothes with the iron."
Wei Dongning buried her face in Xiao Wu's belly.
If I remember correctly, this dark-colored brocade robe with subtle cloud patterns is Gu Peiyan's favorite piece of clothing.
It's probably too late to buy one now.
"Five, I've never wished you had a cheat code as much as I do now."
This way, the clothes can be restored instantly.
"Ningbao, I also really hope that the Lord God will return all my abilities to me."
That way my beautiful tail can be restored to its original state.
A person and a cat hugged each other and cried bitterly, while a poor little Fu didn't even know where to cry.
He walked back to his room with heavy steps and took out all the silver he had saved up over a long period of time.
After counting the money and figuring it out was enough to cover the cost of the clothes, she took the loose silver and went back, saying, "Miss, all the money I've saved is here."
"What?" Wei Dongning looked at her in confusion, then immediately realized, "You want to pay for the clothes?"
"Yes, I made a mistake, so I should take responsibility for it myself."
Wei Dongning casually picked out one silver coin from the loose silver and pushed the rest back: "This is enough."
She had already thought of a solution while Xiao Fu was away.
At worst, she can just say that she had a sudden whim and wanted to be a good wife, but things went wrong.
He certainly won't say much.
Anyway, the tailor will be here tomorrow, so she can just pay for a replacement herself.
"Miss, isn't this inappropriate? I clearly did something wrong, and I shouldn't let you make amends for me."
Xiao Fu tried to push the money back, but Wei Dongning held her hand: "Listen to me!"
When Gu Peiyan returned home, the robe was still lying there.
He frowned in confusion and looked at Xiao Fu, who was dusting off the clothes on the other side: "Why aren't you putting the clothes away?"
Wei Dongning, who was fiddling with the abacus, licked her lips and said the draft she had prepared in her mind: "Oh, I was a bit diligent today, so I have to show you the results of my work."
"Oh?"
"Well, I was just too diligent and ruined your clothes."
Gu Peiyan frowned and went forward to check the condition of the clothes.
Xiao Fu behind him had white knuckles as she held the duster, and her eyes couldn't help but dart towards him.
"Hot?"
"Ah."
Are you hurt?
Wei Dongning blinked, as if she hadn't realized he would say that.
Gu Peiyan repeated, "Were you burned?"
Wei Dongning quickly shook her head: "No."
Since it wasn't really her doing, of course she wouldn't get hurt.
"It's good that you're not hurt. It's just a piece of clothing, so what if it's torn?"
Xiao Wu licked its bald tail and spat inwardly.
"Ningbao, believe me, he's definitely love-struck."
"Come on, just because he didn't care about this outfit, does that mean he's love-struck?"
It's not like we're so poor we can't afford food or new clothes.
Wei Dongning firmly disbelieved Xiao Wu's deduction.
Xiao Wu transmitted a lot of data into Wei Dongning's mind: "You don't know, my system colleagues have seen men from ancient times and modern times who often fly into a rage because their current partners break or lose things given to them by their exes."
"Huh? You mean this dress was a gift from Gu Peiyan's ex?"
"I didn't say that!"
"No, I have to ask."
Wei Dongning's tone showed no sign of anger, but was full of curiosity about Gu Peiyan's past.
He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Fu to take the torn clothes away and fix them, then moved to Gu Peiyan's side and called out to him, "Gu Peiyan."
"What's the matter?"
"You've never told me about your past."
Seeing Wei Dongning lean her head closer, Gu Peiyan tilted her head back and looked down at her: "What do you want to know?"
"For example, your past life, and whether you ever had a girl you liked."
Wei Dongning's eyes sparkled like stars.
Gu Peiyan couldn't help but swallow.
He automatically skipped the previous question: "There has never been another girl."
"What a pity," Wei Dongning said with regret.
Xiao Wu was filled with questions: "No, wait, your focus is really off. People usually hope to be their partner's first love, so why are you feeling sorry for him?"
"Based on my experience reading novels, people who have never been in a relationship are usually not very good at it. Ningbao, I'm going to suffer a lot in the future."
Little Five, the kitten, bristled: "You two are both virgins, what more could you want! So many people would kill for that, okay? Big Yellow Girl, aren't you afraid what you're saying won't pass censorship?"
I also sent her a "Don't be ungrateful" emoji to her mind.
Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Gu Peiyan took the initiative and asked, "And you? Have you ever had a man you liked?"
She grew up in a military camp, where there was no shortage of all kinds of men.
Moreover, the Second Prince was by her side.
I wonder if she ever had feelings for those people.
Wei Dongning was still searching through her memories.
