I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 51



So he took care of her until she became the Prince Yan Consort?

Zhao Qian told himself that it was fortunate that Lin Yong didn\'t know about this. Even though such a great development had happened with this person who was his commanding general, he was a little too gloomy. However, Zhao Qian\'s criticism remained unsaid and he was very supportive of this marriage. Prince Yan must\'ve been willing to get married this time. Lin Yong\'s only worry before his death had been resolved. It was truly a win-win situation for everyone.

The only problem was that Lin Wei Xi had originally been their junior, but now that she was Prince Yan\'s wife, everyone\'s positions were a bit troublesome.

Gu Hui Yan didn\'t stop Zhou Mao Cheng from speaking and clearly didn\'t think it was something difficult for others to see. As for Zhou Mao Cheng\'s winking, Zhao Qian was shocked… Alright, Gu Hui Yan admitted to being a little embarrassed. After agreeing to take care of his subordinate\'s daughter, he initially said he\'d find a husband for her. But in the end, she entered the Prince Yan Residence and never left again. He really seemed to have let Lin Yong down.

Prince Yan was a newly-wed. Of course his subordinates and old comrades had to tease him a little. And Gu Hui Yan, who was usually aloof and indifferent, allowed them to joke around. Zhao Qian was surprised and thought that those who\'d married really changed. Prince Yan knew that he was wrong this time. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could he let them tease him?

Despite the jokes, Zhao Qian was actually very satisfied with this outcome and the corners of his eyes felt a little sour. After meeting again after so many years, his old friend was safe and sound with a lovable wife by his side. Zhao Qian sincerely wished them well. For many years, Prince Yan had fought in various wars all over the country and remained undefeated. Everyone in the army trusted and adored him as the God of War. He was the pillar of the Prince Yan Residence and was also someone who provided reassurance to the Emperor and ministers in court. Zhao Qian and Zhou Mao Cheng followed Gu Hui Yan with all their hearts. However, someone like him who deserved everyone\'s respect actually didn\'t have much luck when it came to his personal relationships. He\'d remained alone for many years regardless of what he did. Now, he had someone to accompany him by his side. It wasn\'t just Zhao Qian and Zhou Mao Cheng, the one hundred thousand strong Yan army were all wholeheartedly happy for him and wished the Prince Yan Consort well. Their only wish was for the Princess Consort to properly accompany Prince Yan.

The old friends had reunited, and after teasing each other for a while, they slowly talked about the things going on in society and the army. Zhao Qian was in the midst of reporting the situation at the border when he looked across the courtyard and suddenly saw a beautiful woman decked out in pearl jade walking towards them. Before Zhao Qian could react, he saw Gu Hui Yan abandon the few people who were talking and quickly walk in that direction.

Lin Wei Xi\'s neck was wrapped in fluffy white fur that made her skin sparkle and her face look brilliant. Standing among the flawless snow and black branches dripping with water, she looked even more stunning and glowing, like a goddess who\'d mistakenly fallen into the human realm. And Gu Hui Yan\'s profile was quite handsome. Although he was smiling, the way he patted snow off her was particularly careful and gentle. Whoever saw such a picture had to praise them as a heavenly couple◇.

Gu Cheng Yao stood at the corner of another corridor and happened to come across this scene. This was his first time seeing Lin Wei Xi look so lively and also his first time seeing his father with gentle eyes. The two of them looked very well matched and he couldn\'t help but stop in his tracks. For a while he didn\'t know whether to walk out like he knew nothing or withdraw and pretend that he hadn\'t seen them.

He didn\'t hesitate for long. Wan Yue, who was on the other side, had good eyes and already saw him, "Shizi?"

Lin Wei Xi and Gu Hui Yan both raised their heads and looked in his direction. Gu Cheng Yao had no choice but to step forward and reveal himself to everyone, "Father, Mother."

Gu Hui Yan saw that it was Gu Cheng Yao and merely nodded indifferently, then lowered his head to continue tidying the snow on Lin Wei Xi\'s collar. The smile on Lin Wei Xi\'s face quickly disappeared. She looked noble and distant as she nodded to Gu Cheng Yao, "Shizi."

Like a flash, Lin Wei Xi went from a lively beauty and returned to an aloof, dignified and indifferent stepmother. Gu Cheng Yao didn\'t know what it was that he was feeling. He also didn\'t know why his eyes were accurately capturing many details, like one of his father\'s hands picking at the snow on Lin Wei Xi\'s head while the other lay on her waist. The two were extremely close and Lin Wei Xi was very unperturbed by this level of physical contact, without a hint of discomfort.

Gu Cheng Yao rolled his eyes without anyone noticing. Lin Wei Xi had greeted Gu Cheng Yao very formally when she suddenly felt a pinprick at the top of her head. She covered her hair and painfully raised her head to complain, "my Prince, you grabbed my hair!"

"Is that so? I wasn\'t paying attention." Gu Hui Yan calmly retracted his hand as if it was truly a momentary slip of the hand. He looked at Lin Wei Xi\'s watery eyes caused by the pain, and felt a little sorry for the first time. He rubbed the spot where he\'d pulled and asked in a whisper, "Does it hurt?"
