They gathered in groups of three or five, and when they saw Gu Suizhi being personally welcomed in by Li Fuyu, their gazes froze for a moment.
It was the first time they had seen this young general of the Gu family on such an occasion.
Gu Sui had a tall and slender figure, wrapped in a dark blue cloak, standing there like a pine jade.
He had a face that made all men jealous, with clear and handsome features and gentle peach blossom eyes, not at all like the ruthless killer that was rumored in the outside world.
“Brother Sui, let me introduce you. This is Yujun Mu Yi.”
The youth surrounded by a group of people raised his chin upon hearing this, as proud as a little peacock.
“You’re Gu Suizhi?”
Gu Sui nodded slightly, “Yes, what about it?”
Mu Yi sized him up and then snorted.
“Ninth Imperial Sister snatched your embroidered ball, you say what about it.”
Only then did Gu Sui take a closer look at this little peacock who didn’t seem very old.
“You’re her brother?”
“No one is worthy of Ninth Imperial Sister. I’m warning you, don’t even think about marrying into the Regent King’s Mansion!”
Faced with Mu Yi’s inexplicable hostility, Gu Sui was very speechless.
What kind of toxic fan brother was this!
“Mu Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? I think it’s the Regent King who’s not worthy of my Brother Sui. She wants to marry Brother Sui, but he won’t!”
Li Fuyu suddenly spoke up, and Gu Sui looked over in surprise.
He was also a toxic fan!
“Li Fuyu! This prince took time out to come and celebrate your birthday, and this is how you talk to your little uncle?”
Mu Yi said angrily, and Li Fuyu made a face at him.
“Who told you to belittle my Brother Sui.”
Li Fuyu’s birth father was the Junwang of Minghua, the cousin of Mu Jiulu and Mu Yi, so he also had royal blood.
Because of their generation, even though Mu Yi was only fifteen this year, three years younger than him, he still had to call him little uncle.
He was obedient in formal occasions, but in private he addressed him directly by name.
The two of them used to have a pretty good relationship, but unexpectedly, they suddenly started arguing now.
“He’s just not worthy of Imperial Sister!”
“I spit, Brother Sui is the best person in the world. It’s more like no one is worthy of him!”
Gu Sui, the person involved: “……”
How did things develop to this point!
Is there no one to control them!
“Li Fuyu, just you wait! I’m going to tell Imperial Sister when I get back and see how she deals with you!”
Unable to argue with Li Fuyu, Mu Yi glared fiercely at the two of them. Li Fuyu shrugged his shoulders and spoke indifferently.
“Tsk, the Regent King is busy as hell. Where would she have time to come find trouble with me.”
The people around didn’t even dare to breathe. They didn’t want to get involved in this god-level fight.
“You…”
Mu Yi was furious. Seeing that the scene was getting a bit out of control, Gu Sui pulled Li Fuyu away in time.
“Phew, Brother Sui, why did you pull me away? I’m not afraid of him.”
Gu Sui: “I’m afraid you’ll anger him to death.”
Li Fuyu: “……”
He laughed a bit awkwardly, his voice much gentler than his previous passion.
“But I wasn’t wrong in the first place.”
Gu Sui: “Let’s just say, is there a possibility that I like the Regent King?”
Upon hearing this, Li Fuyu widened his eyes: “How could that be!”
In his eyes, his Brother Sui was a flower on a high cliff that no one could pick!
Seeing Gu Sui nod to confirm, a hint of grievance appeared between Li Fuyu’s brows.
“But if Brother Sui marries the Regent King, won’t you be a generation above me?”
Gu Sui: “……”
Li Fuyu tugged on Gu Sui’s sleeve and shook it.
“Brother Sui, can’t you not get married? Why do you have to get married? I don’t understand.”
He lowered his head, his voice getting lower and lower.
“My mother is also constantly arranging marriages for me. She always thinks that I’m eighteen and still unmarried, embarrassing her. But I really don’t want to get married at all.”
His thoughts may be very unconventional in the eyes of this world, but to Gu Sui, it was very normal.
In the era he came from, marriage was no longer a necessity. Before meeting Mu Jiulu, he had never thought about getting married either.
“That’s because you haven’t met the person you love yet.”
Gu Sui’s voice was clean and clear, and Li Fuyu was stunned for a moment.
“I used to be like you, thinking that marriage was just a burden and would only bring me trouble. But when you meet the right person, all the previous reservations seem to no longer be a problem.”
Li Fuyu’s lips moved slightly, hesitating, “Is that so?”
“Mm, but there’s one thing. Some people may never meet the right person in their lifetime. At that time, it depends on whether you’re willing to settle.”
Gu Sui was realistic. He wouldn’t only tell Li Fuyu the good side and let him jump into this deep pit in a daze.
Because what awaited him at the bottom might not be a gentle embrace, but sharp traps.
“Then has Brother Sui met that right person?”
Li Fuyu asked, tilting his head. Gu Sui curled the corner of his lips, raising a gentle and shallow smile.
“Yes, this might be the luckiest thing in my life.”
Li Fuyu read a hint of relief in his eyes and suddenly felt a bit envious.
“If only I was a woman, then Brother Sui would definitely be the right person for me!”
Gu Sui: “???!!!”
He backed away from Li Fuyu in horror, but the latter suddenly sighed.
“But I still feel that no one is worthy of Brother Sui. Even if I became a woman, I wouldn’t be worthy.”
Gu Sui couldn’t help but knock him on the head, “Where on earth did you get such a huge filter for me!”
Not understanding, Li Fuyu tilted his head, “Huh?”
Gu Sui sighed helplessly. Suddenly, a servant from the Li Mansion came to announce.
“Young Master, Young General Gu, the Regent King has come to visit and is currently in the front courtyard.”
Li Fuyu, who had just been very bold, reflexively hid behind Gu Sui, grabbing his sleeve and not letting go.
“Brother Sui! The Regent King couldn’t be coming to find trouble with me, right! How could this be!”
This Ninth Aunt was even more terrifying than his mother, ahhhh!
Gu Sui: “…Think positively. You two are relatives after all. Maybe she’s here to celebrate your birthday?”
Li Fuyu’s voice even started trembling a bit, “Impossible. She’s never come before!”
“Brother Sui, save me!”
