Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 501: Answer with a Letter

An Yue went to the accountant to check the expenditure and income of yesterday's Lantern Festival for the whole day.

After checking the first hot pot shop, they walked out of the shop.

Then prepare to go to the last hot pot shop.

......

The two arrived at the last hot pot shop, and An Yue went to find the accountant to check the accounts.

Gu Mingchuan sat beside her, accompanying her silently.

He stared at An Yue intently, like a little husband.

It was already noon when An Yue finished her work.

They walked back together.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the Millennium Building.

Gu Mingchuan took An Yue's arm and said, "Lunch is on my table."

Before An Yue could answer, she was pulled into the Millennium Building by Gu Mingchuan.

Qianxilou is the restaurant owned by Manager Wang in the county town.

The Malatang shop in the town is also doing well thanks to his care.

He also patronized several shops in the county town.

For An Yue, Manager Wang is a rare noble person.

As soon as they entered the Millennium Building, the accountant at the counter greeted An Yue: "Miss, are you planning to have lunch here?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment."

The accountant quickly called the waiter nearby and gave him a few brief instructions.

Afterwards, the waiter took Gu Mingchuan and An Yue to the private room upstairs.

The private room is beautifully and elegantly decorated, the environment is quiet, the windows are open, and the space is excellent.

Gu Mingchuan and An Yue sat opposite each other.

The waiter held up the wooden menu sign, presented it with both hands and asked, "Excuse me, what would you like to order?"

An Yue knew what was on the restaurant's menu without even looking at it.

"You come and order some food!" An Yue gestured to Gu Mingchuan to order some food.

......

After ordering, the waiter took the wooden sign and started preparing the dishes.

An Yue and Gu Mingchuan sat and looked into each other's eyes, both of them had something on their minds.

Gu Mingchuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for An Yue.

An Yue thanked him: "Thank you very much."

Gu Mingchuan responded with a doting smile.

Afterwards, the two sat opposite each other and drank tea, and no one spoke again.

After a few breaths, they both spoke at the same time:

"you……"

"I……"

They smiled awkwardly and said in unison, "You speak first."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and An Yue quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Gu Mingchuan also coughed lightly and looked at An Yue with complicated eyes.

As if he had made up his mind, he slowly said, "Yueyue, there is something I want to tell you in advance."

After saying this, he paused for a moment.

An Yue was a little nervous, but still nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead."

Gu Mingchuan spoke again: "I will return to the capital in two days."

After An Yue heard this, the teacup in her hand slipped from her fingers and fell to the ground, with a sharp and crisp sound of breaking.

The tea spilled all over her.

She froze a little when she heard the news.

An Yue knew that Gu Mingchuan would leave, but she didn't expect him to leave so soon.

She had originally planned to talk to him about the engagement.

But at this moment, he swallowed it back.

When Gu Mingchuan saw the tea spilled on An Yue, he quickly stood up and rushed to An Yue with an anxious look on his face.

He squatted down and asked worriedly: "Yueyue, are you burned?"

An Yue looked at Gu Mingchuan in front of her, and her heart suddenly ached when she thought about parting with him again.

She bit her lower lip and put her hands over her chest.

Gu Mingchuan saw that An Yue seemed to be in pain, and he thought that the tea scalded her hand.

He also looked at An Yue's fingers carefully, but could not see any redness or swelling.

"Yueyue, where exactly did you get burned?"

At this moment, An Yue's eyes were filled with tears. She threw herself into Gu Mingchuan's arms and hugged him tightly with both hands.

He whispered, "Are you really leaving?"

It was the first time that Gu Mingchuan was hugged by An Yue like this. He was both surprised and happy.

He hugged An Yue back and said with a wry smile, "Well, it's time to go back."

Gu Mingchuan was suddenly hugged by An Yue like this, and at this moment, he just felt so happy.

An Yue didn't say anything else, just leaned quietly in his arms.

He patted An Yue's back gently, and said in a gentle and somewhat helpless voice: "Yue Yue, I know this is very sudden, and I don't want to be separated from you so soon, but..."

An Yue was in his arms, listening to him talk.

An Yue knew in her heart that Gu Mingchuan had his responsibilities and mission.

But at this moment, I just can't help feeling sad.

An Yue raised her head slightly, looked into Gu Mingchuan's eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Gu Mingchuan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her pitiful appearance.

He bent his head and gently kissed An Yue's eyes, which were sparkling with tears.

The voice was deep and deep: "Yueyue, next time we meet, let's get engaged, okay?"

An Yue bit her lip, didn't answer, but buried her head in his arms again.

She was feeling very confused now and originally wanted to talk to him about the engagement.

But when I learned that he was leaving, I suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.

It’s not that I don’t know how to start, but rather that I’m afraid.

She was afraid that once she spoke out, it would add more complications.

How would she cope with the situation then?

An Yue knew that the An family came from a farming family, and the siblings had no father or mother, and now her younger brother An Nian was going to take the imperial examination.

Although An Nian is also a scholar now, for a family that can gain a foothold in the capital.

It was just a small stone found in a pile of dirt.

As for what the small stone is, everything still needs to be carved and considered.

Therefore, in terms of class stratification in this dynasty, the An family and the Gu family are not a good match.

In the face of high-ranking officials’ family background and power, marriage is a way for them to consolidate their interests.

They bind their interests through marriage, which is the most direct and effective method.

An Yue was very clear about this, so even though Gu Mingchuan kept saying that he liked her, she couldn't lose herself.

She knew that marriage was not like business. If there was a loss, you could just close down and find another way out.

But in marriage, if you take the first wrong step, all the steps that follow will be wrong.

She knew this, so she hesitated until she made up her mind.

After a long while, An Yue slowly let go of Gu Mingchuan's hand, sat up straight and said, "Okay, let's eat first!"

Just then, the waiter came in with the dishes, arranged them one by one, and then left.

The two sat opposite each other again, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Gu Mingchuan kept picking up food for An Yue and said, "Yue Yue, eat more."

An Yue looked at Gu Mingchuan. She knew that Gu Mingchuan wanted an answer, but she had been avoiding it.

Suddenly, An Yue asked Gu Mingchuan: "Do you remember the letter you wrote?"

Gu Mingchuan was a little surprised when An Yue suddenly asked this question: "Yueyue, what's the matter? Why did you suddenly mention the letter?"

An Yue opened the cloth bag she was carrying across her body and took out the letter.
