Old Master Lu still felt awkward.
But after only two seconds of awkwardness, Old Master Lu’s aged face flushed slightly, and he spoke honestly:
"Yes, Great Grandfather and the others, along with me, are all chatterboxes; we talk a lot."
"This is also the reason why Yanshen moved out to live elsewhere, only returning once a month, and not even staying a single night at the Old Residence."
"It is just too lively."
"Between the children and us chatterboxes."
"It is so noisy he cannot have any peace."
"He even developed a headache, a condition where he gets a headache the moment he sees us."
"But we cannot just suppress our desire to vent."
"Otherwise, we would be so uncomfortable."
"We held a family meeting and discussed it, and Yanshen moved out to live away from us, returning once a month."
"And as for us, unless it is an urgent matter, we will call him immediately."
"For everything else, we either contact Qin Yang and let Qin Yang pass the message on, or we write letters."
"We are elders, and besides talking, we love writing letters."
"If Yanshen has time, he reads them."
"If he is busy, it is fine if he does not."
"In any case, you cannot stop us from venting."
"Zhizhi, I will not hide it from you, one time I wrote a letter, and just to tell Yanshen that I broke a teacup, I wrote ten pages."
"Once that desire to vent comes up, really, you want to control it but you just cannot."
Gu Zhi tried hard to hold back, not letting herself open her mouth again.
She finally understood completely why the relationship between Lu Yanshen and his family was so strange.
So that was where the strangeness lay.
She also knew why her grandfather said that Grandpa Lu was hesitant at the time, saying that his relationship with his grandson, Lu Yanshen, was hard to explain.
So that was it.
"Of course."
Old Master Lu said again.
"It was also agreed that on the day Yanshen returns each time, we must control ourselves and not be chatterboxes that day."
"After all, Yanshen is essentially returning while enduring a headache."
"We certainly have to do something."
"I am also controlling myself today."
"Do you know how uncomfortable I am holding it in?"
Seeing Grandpa Lu say so much in one breath, Gu Zhi wanted to nod her little head to show that she could see it now.
Lu Yanbai rolled his eyes, "Grandfather, it is only one day a month that you are not allowed to talk much, is it really that hard for you!"
Old Master Lu immediately said: "You are not a chatterbox, of course it is not hard for you! Every time this day comes, I feel like I am being clawed at—"
Lu Yanshen had already started to get a headache again, and without waiting for his grandfather to finish, he said to Gu Zhi: "Let's go home."
He was already pushing Gu Zhi toward the exit.
Gu Zhi had no choice but to hurriedly wave at Grandpa Lu: "Grandpa, then we will head back first! We will come to see you again next time!"
Old Master Lu chased after them:
"Zhizhi, in the future, Grandpa will write letters to you too."
Gu Zhi smiled sweetly: "Grandpa, no need to write me letters; if there is anything, just call me directly."
"No, no, no." Old Master Lu shook his head repeatedly, "Yanshen already gets a headache when he sees us; I cannot make you get a headache when you see us too."
"It won't happen, Grandpa, I also love to talk quite a bit."
"No, no, no." Old Master Lu still did not want that.
He had the feeling of someone who was once bitten by a snake and is afraid of a well rope for ten years.
"It would be too late if I really gave you a headache! It is better to write letters, write letters. Phone calls are just a supplement."
Gu Zhi was left with no choice but to agree.
Qin Yang was already waiting by the car. As Lu Yanshen helped Gu Zhi into the car, he gave an order: "Send Lu Yanbai back to school, and deduct his entire month's pocket money."
"Ah, don't do that, Eldest Brother!"
Lu Yanbai, who had been following behind, immediately wailed and almost hugged his Eldest Brother's leg to kneel down.
Unfortunately, Qin Yang had already dragged him into another car to send him to school.
It was useless no matter how much he wailed.
Sitting in the Maybach, having left the Lu Family Old Residence, Gu Zhi remembered that Lu Yanshen did not like liveliness at all, yet she had never heard him say she was noisy.
Gu Zhi turned her head and asked:
"Lu Yanshen, do you dislike liveliness entirely?"
Lu Yanshen did not look at her and replied indifferently: "Yes."
"Since you dislike liveliness entirely, I am quite boisterous usually, so why have I never heard you say I am noisy?"
Without waiting for Lu Yanshen to answer, she added: "Don't wrong yourself like that in the future, just tell me directly. I won't wrong myself."
Lu Yanshen was startled.
Even though he did not feel it was a wrong.
But this was the first time someone had told him not to wrong himself.
"How about we sleep in separate rooms from now on and see each other less?" she suddenly said again.
Lu Yanshen could not understand at all how they ended up talking about sleeping in separate rooms and seeing each other less.
He only slept in such a small space every night, did that really affect her?
Before he could speak, he heard Gu Zhi say again:
"I won't wrong myself and change my personality. So even if you told me directly, I wouldn't change."
"Then we can only sleep in separate rooms and see each other less, so I won't disturb you."
"And you won't be wronged either."
Finally, Lu Yanshen turned his head and looked at her deeply with his cold eyes.
Gu Zhi's little mouth was still wanting to chatter, but she did not expect him to suddenly turn and look at her like that, leaving her a bit stunned, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yanshen continued to stare at her and said very coldly: "I am not wronged."
"Huh?"
"I did not wrong myself."
"Uh..."
"People are inherently different from one another."
"Uh..."
"You are my Wife, as long as your character is not problematic, you can be however you want; you don't need to change anything."
"Uh..."
"My personality won't change because of what you do either."
"Uh..."
"You are not very noisy either. At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it, but now, I am used to it."
"Uh..."
"No need for separate rooms, and no need to see each other less."
After saying this, Lu Yanshen turned his indifferent, handsome face back and stopped staring at her.
"Uh..." Gu Zhi was uncharacteristically speechless for a good while before finding her voice, smiling brightly: "This is what you said, so you are not allowed to say I am noisy in the future."
Without waiting for Lu Yanshen to speak, Gu Zhi said happily:
"Why are you so good?"
"Forget it, I'll make a heart gesture for you."
"Love you!"
Gu Zhi made a heart gesture above her head again, telling him she loved him.
Lu Yanshen only glanced at her very coldly.
Gu Zhi almost choked on her own laughter.
However, she did notice that even with her being this boisterous, Lu Yanshen indeed did not show any symptoms of a headache.
It seems it really depends on the person.
The fact that she is his Wife is like having a "get out of jail free" card with him.
Very good.
They did not return directly to Banshan Villa, but went to Lu's Hospital.
To see Old Master Gu.
Dean Qiao happened to be at the hospital today, and hearing that Lu Yanshen had arrived, he hurriedly brought many matters to report to Lu Yanshen.
Lu Yanshen went to Dean Qiao's office.
Dean Qiao was very polite to Old Master Gu.
Partly because Old Master Gu was the biological grandfather of the Wife of Lu Yanshen, and partly, of course, because Old Master Gu was Gu Zhi's biological grandfather.
But when Old Master Gu saw Dean Qiao being so polite to him, he just assumed it was all because of Lu Yanshen and did not pay much attention to it.
