Old Subordinate

Gu Wanning: "... Where did you get so many schemes from? Besides, her name Hua Ying..." Xu Weibei said awkwardly, "That's the most important thing for a man."

"Really?" Gu Wanning said, "Does this mean that when two armies face off, you take off your pants and compare sizes?"

Xu Weibei: "..."

"This matter is important if you care about it, and worthless if you don't. It's your own business, and you don't need to explain it to anyone."

Xu Weibei looked at her, his lips moving slightly.

Although he didn't say anything, Gu Wanning understood.

"You think I'm not sexually happy with you? No, I don't care about that. If I were really so lustful, then after the divorce, I'd have money, why wouldn't I just buy a man?"

The phrase "buy a man" sent a jolt through Xu Weibei's eyes.

She even bought a man! How could she even think of that?!

"What? Nobody said buying sex is only a man's privilege," Gu Wanning snorted. "Don't think I don't know about those dirty things; my second sister-in-law has told me quite a bit."

Princesses keeping male concubines was not uncommon; many of Princess Qingyi's sisters did so, without even needing to go back several dynasties.

Following the example set by those above, why can't she, a wealthy and beautiful woman from a high-ranking family, do the same?

She just doesn't need it.

"Things between men and women aren't as wonderful as you imagine," Gu Wanning added.

Cough cough, it still seems unbelievable when I think about it now.

Despite his background, Xu Weibei somehow failed to notice that something was wrong with his body.

Logically speaking, he should have already experienced personnel matters and discovered his shortcomings.

"How did you know?" Xu Weibei asked.

"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right?" Gu Wanning said. "I've heard a lot about this from Hua Ying. Do you know how much harm intercourse can cause to a woman? Have you ever heard of a ruptured corpus luteum?"

Xu Weibei shook his head, "What is the corpus luteum?"

"I've never heard of such a thing before..." Xu Weibei murmured, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.

"That's because these kinds of things are kept secret. Who would talk about them openly? Anyway, your friends all have multiple wives and concubines, so why would they care about any one of them?"

Xu Weibei: "... I have no bad friends."

Gu Wanning thought to herself, "Isn't that Xue Fengxian a womanizer?"

However, out of respect for the deceased, she didn't mention it.

"Okay, you haven't heard of that, but you've heard of dying in childbirth, right?"

Xu Weibei nodded.

Childbirth is truly a life-or-death ordeal for women.

"So you see, I said you won't die without sex; but with sex, that's another story."

Xu Weibei: "..."

"Besides, every loss has its gain. Although you're not good at this, you're a real man. Like how you killed Zheng Jian, that was very manly."

Xu Weibei said, "He got off too easily! I regret not casting him, so I've been regretting it every time I think about it these past few days."

Gu Wanning looked at him, blinked, and spoke in a serious tone—

"Xu Weibei, I think we're a good match. Do you want to give it a try?"

Chapter 233 Former Subordinates

Xu Weibei remained silent.

Gu Wanning, however, started talking non-stop, scrolling through her fingers and muttering, "You see, although I can't compare to fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, I'm not old either. My father and brothers hold high positions of power, I'm beautiful, intelligent, rich, and have a pleasant personality; I'm also kind and forgiving..."

She rambled on, praising herself endlessly, but the main point was simple—choosing me wouldn't be a bad decision!

"Let's go back," Xu Weibei suddenly said.

Gu Wanning: "???"

Even this doesn't work?

She has already used all her strength

Primordial

They've exhausted all their resources.

The promise

Girl pursuing boy

What about the interlayer yarn?

This is wire mesh!

Gu Wanning only prepared for this part of the lesson, and then she was at a loss.

Although she seems very confident, who has experience with confessing their feelings?

She was upset to be rejected after all the careful preparation.

Then Gu Wanning started packing up the food she had brought to leave, thinking to herself, "You bastard, I wouldn't even feed you to a dog."

But then I thought again, I'd already eaten it all; this dog was clearly me.

Gu Wanning laughed at herself for being so angry.

I guess I'm just not cut out for dating.

Falling in love causes a precipitous drop in IQ.

"Leave the food here, I haven't eaten yet," Xu Weibei said. "I'll have someone send you the food box later."

You rejected her, but you still want to eat her cooking?

Gu Wanning was about to retort when she heard him say, "Don't worry, the Emperor won't kill me. Go home and wait for me."

Gu Wanning was dumbfounded.

This person's thoughts jump around so quickly, she can't keep up at all.

Xu Weibei thought she didn't believe him, and said confidently, "The Emperor told me privately that as long as I have no disloyal intentions, he won't touch me."

"To put it so bluntly?"

"Hmm. His Majesty is not one to beat around the bush."

"He's a really nice guy." Gu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly added worriedly, "He won't go back on his word, will he?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Xu Weibei couldn't help but smile. "It's not that serious. I know what I'm doing."

He liked seeing her nervous around him.

He thought that even if the whole world abandoned him, as long as he could still see her, this world was still worth living in.

Gu Wanning then relayed Gu Yuanshi's attitude, "Do you think my father is just trying to protect himself, or is it really like my second brother said, that he's trying to save your life?"

"Although I don't like him, he's not exactly kicking someone when they're down right now. Your father is a cunning old fox; no one understands the Emperor's psychology better than him," Xu Weibei. "Besides, even if he were to kick someone when they're down, I wouldn't be afraid. I'm just worried about..."

"What are you worried about?" Gu Wanning asked anxiously.

I'm worried he'll oppose our reconciliation.
