The Moon is Full in the Traveling House - Chapter 166 Gu Bei's Feelings

Hearing his words, Xiao An Ning seemed to suddenly come back to her senses from her thoughts. She pouted her lips unhappily and retorted, "Third brother, I just ate a little too much just now. It's not what you said..." After that, she gently rubbed her stomach.

Gu Bei couldn't help laughing when he saw her, and then he looked at the package in her arms, with a sly look in his eyes. He deliberately said, "You are so full, but you still treasure those snacks so much? Why don't you give them to me?" Then he reached out to take the package.

Seeing this, Xiao An Ning immediately hugged the package tighter, glared at Gu Bei in dissatisfaction, and said loudly: "No! Third brother, you ate more than me just now, how dare you steal my snack?"

Gu Bei smiled helplessly. He knew that Xiao An Ning cherished these snacks very much, so he stopped teasing her. But he couldn't help but mutter, "Don't worry, you conscienceless little girl. You know that Brother Su prepared these specially for you, and he won't snatch them from you..."

Gu Bei's face froze when he heard this. He had met Princess Yuehua several times before and he did have some feelings for her, but he didn't expect that An Ning could actually notice it. He quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Men and women are different, and it's right to keep some distance."

Xiao An Ning didn't buy his tricks and rolled her eyes: "Third brother, stop pretending. I saw it yesterday. Do you like Yuehua..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Bei covered her mouth with his hand. "An Ning, don't say that!" Gu Bei's face rarely flushed, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Third brother, did I hit the nail on the head?" Xiao An Ning couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Bei's reaction, and continued to joke: "Haha, third brother is shy!" Things have changed, and now it is Xiao An Ning's turn to tease Gu Bei.

"The Gu family is also a prominent family in our Dashun, my uncle also holds a high position in the court, and my third brother is a young and promising hero. He will not disgrace the identity of Princess Yuehua." Xiao An Ning retorted. She did not want to see Gu Bei so disappointed, and wanted to encourage him to bravely pursue his own happiness.

However, Gu Bei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Princess Yuehua is over sixteen years old and has yet to get engaged. Even the matchmaker dares not come to her house. You should know why, An Ning. Not everything can go as you wish." There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes, which made Xiao An Ning feel distressed.

Xiao An Ning bit her lip and said unwillingly: "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Are you willing to watch Yuehua go to marry? Besides, we have signed a peace agreement with the State of Chu, the situation is relatively stable, and a marriage is not necessarily necessary..." She tried to persuade Gu Bei, hoping that he could muster up the courage to fight for his love.

However, Gu Bei sighed and said softly: "An Ning, these are matters that only His Majesty can decide. We cannot influence them. Besides, the fate of Princess Yuehua is not under our control, so let's not mention this matter anymore..." He did not want to continue this topic because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the reality.

Gu Bei looked at his sister and felt relieved, but he couldn't help but remind her: "Okay, it's good to have ambition. But you are still young, and many things are not as simple as you think, and many things are beyond your control..." He said earnestly, hoping that his sister could understand the complexity of reality.

However, Xiao Anning disagreed. She straightened her chest and said loudly: "Everything depends on human efforts. How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Her eyes were firm and confident, as if she was full of infinite possibilities for the future.

At this time, Xiao Anzhi also said: "Third brother, second sister, I will work hard and protect everyone." He clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with determination. Although he was still young, he also wanted to become a brave soldier to protect his family and country.

Hearing what her brother said, Xiao An Ning laughed and joked, "Then you have to study hard. You can't even beat me now." She blinked and deliberately teased her brother.

Watching the interaction between the two, Gu Bei couldn't help but laugh. Their innocence and courage made him feel very warm. He touched their heads and encouraged them, "Okay, you all have to work hard and become the pride of Dashun in the future."

"Second Miss, Young Master, Mr. Gu, we've arrived at the General's Mansion." The coachman's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Let's go, we're home now. I'll take you in." Gu Bei said with a smile.

The three of them walked into the general's mansion together, talking and laughing along the way.

Walking on the road, Gu Bei was thinking about tomorrow's affairs.

"Tomorrow we will go horseback hunting together at Mingyu Mountain..." He couldn't help but reveal an expectant expression.

"Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. I should just cherish the present moment!" he said to himself.
