Chapter 49 Best Friend Becomes Sister-in-Law
"Now that we've adopted it, we should naturally give it a complete family, just like parents would. Or are you unwilling?"
Wei Dongning mechanically looked down at Xiao Wu and mentally communicated with it: "Can your dad send down some lightning to wake him up?"
Xiao Wu licked its little paws and meowed again.
Gu Peiyan said as if she had won a victory: "Look, Xiao Wu agreed."
Impressed.
Wei Dongning was completely convinced.
Huh? A time-travel agency?
Can't someone come and take charge?
Is it really okay for a character to be out of character (OOC)?
God, someone please take them away.
Hearing Wei Dongning's "collapsed" thoughts, Xiao Wu struggled out of Gu Peiyan's arms, jumped onto her shoulder, and nuzzled her face with its head.
It had a slightly ingratiating tone.
The fire in Wei Dongning's heart was extinguished instantly.
There's no way around it, a kitten's affectionate behavior is just too much.
"I can't argue with you two, so say whatever you want. I'm going to sleep." Wei Dongning shoved the kitten on her shoulder into Xiao Fu's arms next to her: "Take it away."
If Xiao Wu stays here any longer, she's afraid she'll lower her standards again and again.
Qianrong followed Xiaofu out.
Even from a distance, Wei Dongning could hear his voice: "Sister Xiaofu, do all girls like cats? If I go and get a cat for Baoxing too, will she understand my feelings?"
"Qianrong hasn't confessed his feelings to Baoxing yet?" Wei Dongning asked Gu Peiyan beside her while taking off her clothes.
"I don't know, and I haven't asked him."
Gu Peiyan has never cared much about these things.
He wouldn't participate as long as it didn't affect their regular work.
Wei Dongning pouted: "You really aren't a responsible master. By the way, aren't you afraid your father will object to you bringing Xiao Wu home?"
Gu Peiyan fell onto the bed, crossing her hands over her stomach: "Father wouldn't."
Aside from being a bit stubborn at times and not quite knowing how to educate children, my father is generally quite good.
When he was young, after he made a mistake and was punished by his father, his father would personally apply medicine to his wounds.
So, to be fair, based on his understanding of his father, keeping a cat at home wasn't a big problem.
"When you go to pay your respects tomorrow, take Xiao Wu with you."
Wei Dongning yawned widely, found a comfortable position, and fell into a deep sleep.
The facts are just as Gu Peiyan said.
When Gu Song saw Xiao Wu, he showed no impatience whatsoever.
While they were eating breakfast, he thoughtfully instructed the servants to prepare food that the kittens could eat and bring it over.
Wei Dongning continued eating, her head bowed in thought.
Both Gu Song and Gu Peiyan seemed quite different from what she had heard before.
Indeed, you can't understand a person just by listening to what others say.
After breakfast, Gu Song waved them off to do what they needed to do.
Having not spent several days with Xiao Wu, Wei Dongning picked up the lazy kitten and left, saying, "Quick, quick, let's go back and watch a movie. Show me the latest movies that are showing."
She really wanted to see a movie!
Winter, around the fireplace, a kitten, and a movie.
A perfect match, isn't it!
If there were cola and popcorn, it would be heaven.
As for Gu Peiyan not being able to see it, that's because he's unlucky.
It's because he doesn't have a system and still has unfinished official business.
This is not her fault.
Moreover, if he were to see all of this, he would probably think of her and Xiao Wu as monsters.
Just to be on the safe side, she decided to enjoy it alone with Xiao Wu.
Back in her room, Wei Dongning made an excuse to send Xiao Fu away: "Xiao Fu, could you go and buy me some of those pastries from yesterday?"
She had calculated that a round trip from the Gu residence to Suweixuan, including the time spent queuing, would be enough for her to watch half a movie.
Xiao Fu was changing the quilt cover for her when she heard her words. She vigorously shook the quilt cover flat: "Miss, you said yesterday that it was delicious, but you didn't remember its name at all. Its name is Baihua Gao (Hundred Flower Cake)."
"Oh, as long as it tastes good, nothing else matters. I'll still buy two packs."
"Should we also send that package to Master Gu?"
"No, this time we'll each take one bag."
Xiao Fu was already used to Wei Dongning sharing her food with her, so there were no surprises now.
He quickly tidied up the room, grabbed the purse containing the silver, and went out.
"Quick, Xiao Wu, I'm ready."
Xiao Wu stretched lazily: "I've got something good to show you."
Immediately afterwards, the blank bed canopy transformed into a curtain.
It's the same one used at home with the projector.
Wei Dongning held up Xiao Wu and looked at herself, then gave it a big kiss: "It feels just like watching a projector under the covers when we were staying at the dormitory. Xiao Wu, I knew you were the best."
"Don't even mention it. I had to plead with the God for a long time before he finally agreed to this ability."
Xiao Wu is also wronged.
Imagine, a top-level system, making a huge mistake due to a momentary lapse in judgment, resulting in the loss of all its capabilities.
It must also accompany its host throughout its entire life.
What's the difference between this and letting eunuchs visit brothels?
It has to cry every time it wants to do something: Private Marseille Beauty Sauce, Vadashi has few.
The last time it saw systems from other worlds showing off their skills in front of it, it wanted to sing the theme song of "Ikkyu-san" to them.
This time, it went back to the Supreme God and used all its tricks—crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—to finally get him to agree to return the ability to project physical objects to it.
Wei Dongning held Xiao Wu and watched most of the movie at 1.5x speed before Xiao Fu returned.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fu didn't come back alone.
A woman who was sobbing was also with him.
As soon as Xiao Fu led her into the courtyard, Xiao Wu noticed.
Immediately turn off the movie that is playing to avoid being seen by the person who comes in.
Wei Dongning also went to the small couch in the outer room, grabbed a book at random, and pretended that she had been reading a storybook.
"Ningning." The crying woman rushed into Wei Dongning's arms.
He hugged her shoulders and cried.
Tears streamed down my face like free tap water.
Wei Dongning could feel that the fabric on her shoulder was soaked with tears.
"Don't cry, Yueyue, tell me what happened first."
Xiao Wu was startled by the person who suddenly appeared, and the cat with its fur standing on end jumped into Xiao Fu's arms with a "meow".
It wasn't until I calmed down that I realized who was crying.
Zhong Shuyue hugged Wei Dongning and cried for a long time until she was exhausted and finally let go, sobbing.
Taking the handkerchief Xiao Fu handed her, she snatched Xiao Wu away and hugged her tightly: "My father told me today that the Emperor is going to bestow a marriage upon the Second Prince."
"I know that."
“My father said,” Zhong Shuyue started crying again, “that the Emperor wants to marry me off to the Second Prince.”
Wei Dongning felt like she couldn't understand human language anymore.
Her best friend, whom she met after time travel, is going to become her sister-in-law?
Is that what you mean?
Just as Wei Dongning was in a daze, Zhong Shuyue continued, "But the Second Prince is so fierce! I'm afraid he'll hit me in the future."
