This kid had answered so fluently in the imperial study just now.

Su Yan nodded confidently.

Gu Ruoyun scoffed, “You’ve underestimated him. He had read all those books.”

He thought Su Yan would be angry at being deceived. He did not expect her to cry out in surprise, “Cui, you’re so smart!”

Gu Ruoyun’s face stiffened.

Nalan Cui smiled modestly and said, “I’m not even one-tenth as good as Guang Pingwang.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded without humility and said, “That’s true. When I was ten years old, I had already finished reading all the books in the imperial study.”

Su Yan then hugged Gu Ruoyun’s arm and said, “So you’re the most powerful one!”

These words made Nalan Cui’s face stiff, he was just being polite.

Su Yan, who did not understand the surging waves between the two, simply believed every word they said.

Gu Ruoyun was stunned for a moment. His smile deepened as he stroked her head and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Nalan Cui.

Nalan Cui smiled obediently.

Gu Ruoyun cursed this little liar in his heart.

He was afraid that the first time he approached Su Yan was not simple.

Only a fool like Su Yan would believe him.

Su Yan pulled Gu Ruoyun to the imperial garden and told him to close his eyes and stand properly.

Gu Ruoyun obediently did as she was told.

Su Yan fiddled with something behind him and then greeted the people who were lying in ambush.

She gently patted his back and said, “Alright, you can open your eyes now.”

Gu Ruoyun opened his eyes and saw a patch of candlelight in front of him. These beads of light had been arranged into his name. Upon closer inspection, a few people were standing under the candlelight, but they were wearing black clothes, it was hard to see clearly in the night.

This was the inspiration that Liu Meiniang had given Su Yan when she had invited her to see the fireflies. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Liu Meiniang? It seems that Su Yan hadn’t seen her for a long time.

Su Yan seemed to have remembered something. Liu Runyan looked familiar. Those eyes seemed to be...

“Did you make these?” Gu Ruoyun suddenly interrupted her thought.

Su Yan did not have time to think about anything else. She placed the candle in her hand on top of her head and said, “These are for you. Do you like them?”

Gu Ruoyun’s eyes darkened as he looked at Su Yan, who was getting warmer under the candlelight. He asked, “Are they for me?”

Su Yan nodded her head decisively.

Gu Ruoyun took the candle from her head and examined it.

Su Yan saw that he liked it and smiled happily.

In the next second, Gu Ruoyun carried her on his shoulders.

Su Yan cried out in shock, “What are you doing?”

Gu Ruoyun replied, “Go back and open the presents.”

“The present I’m talking about is the candle, not me.”

Gu Ruoyun ignored her voice and walked straight towards the direction of the bedroom. He did not forget to leave a message behind, “Everyone present today would be richly rewarded. Please seek the reward from His Majesty.”

The corners of Nalan Cui’s mouth twitched as he looked at the expectant crowd. He waved his hand and said, “Reward.”

The crowd then cheered and left.

Nalan Cui had just been shocked as well. As the main character, Gu Ruoyun’s heart was probably not at peace either.

Nalan Cui watched the moonlight and walked back slowly, thinking Gu Ruoyun’s return was not too bad.

Su Yan was carried all the way back. Fortunately, there was no one at night, otherwise, she would have been so embarrassed.

She only got up to complain about Gu Ruoyun until she had been placed on the bed.

Gu Ruoyun listened to her complaints but his hands did not stop moving.

After Su Yan’s mouth felt dry, she realized that he had taken off her outer coat at some point. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

At this moment, his hand was placed on the strap of her inner coat.

He was not in a hurry. It was as if he was unwrapping a gift.

Su Yan swatted his hand away and cried out in shock, “What are you doing?”

Gu Ruoyun’s expression was very magnanimous as he replied, “Didn’t I just say it?”

Su Yan saw that he was not joking and immediately wanted to climb out of the bed.

She was retrieved with one hand, and then the bed curtains were put down.

Layers of curtains covered the entire room.
