ns from showing it openly. He can only vent a few complaints in private.Not only him, but other villagers also had some complaints. The main issue was the lack of freedom. Although before, when Xu Hu...Outside the village, this kind of enthusiastic greeting came to an end.

Gu Huan let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Huaiyi chuckled knowingly and said, "Are you afraid"

Gu Huanxi helplessly rubbed her head, "I don't know how you manage to be so natural..."

Xu Huaiyi said arrogantly, "I'm naturally gifted."

Gu Huan chuckled softly, turned her head to coax her daughter, too lazy to pay attention to his smug expression.

Xu Huaiyi rushed toward Gu Xiaoyu, "In the future, you should learn from this too. Don't think that these things don't matter, because they do. Sometimes, what you do isn't as important as what you say. Language is an art, and it's also a skill. You have to dare to speak and be able to speak, no matter the situation. Especially when interacting with people, saying the right thing at the right time, this requires deep understanding. Those who master this are like mirrors reflecting all sides, able to please everyone. Those who don't understand it will suffer losses and easily offend others..."

The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became, showing no signs of stopping.

Gu Xiaoyu listened with a blank expression, feeling that it was understandable and easy to learn, but difficult to master. Given his personality, he probably lacked the talent for this.

Huai-Yi Xu said, his throat was dry and his thoughts were still unfinished. He stopped abruptly and drank a cup of tea. Then he peered out the window, "We're almost there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu's entire body stiffened visibly.

Gu Huan stroked his head, "Afraid When we left just now, your mother asked you, and you said..."

Gu Xiao Yu took a deep breath, adjusting her emotions. "My son is really capable, he'll have such a day sooner or later. He needs to go out and experience the world."

Xu Huaiyi pointed out, "Facing it head-on is right, but you shouldn't be blindly reckless. Otherwise, this so-called brave attempt will harm yourself."

Gu Xiaoyu's face changed, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.

Xu Huaiyi raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Scared Shall I send you back now"

Gu Xiaoyu pursed her lips, stubbornly and insistently saying, "No, I want to go into the city..."

"But your expression, it's a management failure! Walking down the street, you're practically an eye-catching meme. You're afraid people won't notice you."

"...."

Gu Huanxi glared at him secretly, signaling him to stop. She taught that it's okay to give a child some reprimands so they won't become arrogant and conceited, but one shouldn't be too harsh either, lest they become discouraged and depressed. What then

Xu Huaiyi touched his nose and smiled sheepishly.

"Little fish, do you believe in mama"

"Believe!"

He spoke without hesitation, resolutely.

Gu Huanxi smiled and said, "Then close your eyes."

Although Gu Xiaoyu didn't know what to do, she obediently followed instructions.

Gu Huanxi took out a set of things from the drawer of the compartment, spread them out, and began to apply them to his face. In just a cup of tea's time, he finished, looked around, and was quite satisfied with his handiwork.

Xu Huaiyi directly gave her a thumbs up. No wonder people say that advanced makeup is the same as plastic surgery. Although his daughter-in-law's skill hasn't reached that level yet, it's more than enough to handle the current situation.

Anyway, Gu Xiaoyu seemed like a different person. She used to be as delicate as a New Year picture doll, but now she was more down-to-earth. Her looks were only considered pretty, and her skin had darkened several shades. If you said she was a country boy, no one would doubt it.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Gu Xiaoyu opened her eyes, still a bit dazed and curious. Before she could speak, a copper mirror was handed to her. When she saw the reflection in the mirror, her eyes widened instantly.

"This, this is me"

"It's you, naturally."

Gu Xiaoyu couldn't believe it. She raised her hand and touched her face, and the person in the mirror repeated the same action. So, this was herself. But why could her appearance change so drastically

Even those who had only seen him once or twice would hardly recognize him now, standing before his father.

His tense nerves gradually relaxed.

After arriving at the city gate, Xu Huaiyi got out of the carriage. When he reached out to him, the other man hesitated for just a moment before jumping down as well.

He's back, at this time, in this way.

Gu Huanxi watched his back and frowned slightly. The feeling Gu Xiaoyu gave her at this moment was very strange, as if she had suddenly grown ten years older. Before she could think about it, someone shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, all of you..." Then, accompanied by waves of exclamations, several divine steeds galloped out of the city. The young men on horseback were all in fine clothes and brocade robes, and at a glance they knew they were the sons of wealthy families.

The family is still quite influential, otherwise who would dare to ride recklessly in front of the city gate

Even the soldiers at the city gate dared not stop him, as if they were all blind.

In an instant, the once orderly city gate descended into chaos. Many of the citizens queuing to enter the city scrambled and dodged in panic, resulting in a scene of utter disarray. Some fell to the ground, scattering their belongings, while a few chickens flapped their wings and flew about erratically.

But those young men in fine clothes and on their steeds, who caused this scene, had already laughed heartily and run far away.

The carriage of the Gu family fortunately was far away, so it wasn't affected. However, Xu Huaiyi felt very uncomfortable in his heart. When he looked at Gu Xiaoyu again, her face was even paler than his, and he couldn't help but be startled, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong"

Gu Xiaoyu shook her head stiffly.

Xu Huaiyi scooped him up and held him in his arms, locking eyes with him and asking in a low voice, "Do you know him"

Gu Xiaoyu let out a strained "Hmm."

Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi didn't ask any further questions. He patted him on the back reassuringly and said to Wei Ci, "Get the car over there and queue up. Let's go into the city."

"Yes, Master."

After that incident just now, the pace into the city has slowed considerably. The soldiers guarding the city are also in a bad mood, swearing and grumbling, looking impatient.

Xu Huaiyi walked along the side of the train carriage with Gu Xiaoyu in his arms, his face expressionless.

In the car, Gu Huanxi hugged her daughter calmly. There are privileged classes in every era, some young masters who act recklessly relying on their family background, and some ruthless fathers who treat human life as nothing. So, there's no need to be surprised.

Once inside the city, she also carried her daughter down from the carriage. When shopping, it's more convenient to walk, and you can see more interesting things. Of course, the most important thing is that her daughter couldn't stay in the carriage. Her little arms stretched hard towards the direction of the carriage door. If she wasn't only three months old, she would have probably crawled out herself long ago.

"Are you alright" Xu Huaiyi asked with concern.

Gu Huanxi knew what he was asking, and she smiled and shook her head. "This kind of thing won't be the first time I've seen it, nor will it be the last. Get used to it."

Xu Huaiyi remained silent.

Gu Huan glanced at him, "Don't think too much about it. It's none of our business."

Xu Huaiyi hummed in response, then added, "Where shall we go first Shall we go to the bookstore I can't wait to learn."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes. "Stop acting up, hurry up. First, find a jewelry shop and ask about the price of velvet flowers. Let's make some money before we talk about anything else."red, the more people wanted them. He couldn't even sleep soundly because of fear. Now, he should be able to rest easy, shouldn't heAfter he stepped out of the yard, Xu Huaiyi whispered to his daughter...
