Liu Yue never thought that Gu Nanfeng would ask her this question so straightforwardly. It was not that she couldn't feel Gu Nanfeng's kindness, but she just didn't have the ability to accept it. She was Zhen Liuxi, the ex-woman of Yin Su, and the daughter of General Zhen, Zhen Liuxi. No matter how good Gu Nanfeng was, it was impossible for them to be together. She had always been decisive, especially when it came to emotions.
Just as she was about to reject, before she could even open her mouth, Gu Nanfeng seemed to have already guessed what she was thinking and spoke first.
During the bumpy ride, Liu Yue replied firmly with a voice that he could hear.
”I know, I can't keep you.”
From the very first day he met Liu Yue, he knew that he wouldn't be able to stop her. She was different from all the girls he had met before. Although she looked soft and weak on the outside, she was also a girl with a different age. However, her eyes were filled with calmness. This calmness had accumulated over the years.
The first time he saw her, he did not have any impression of her. Later on, in the middle of the night, he brought the Scarlet Jade Tower's Hua Kui to the Feng Mansion and was hit by her.
”Continue.”
It was most likely due to her taking her outside that time. Outside the restaurant, she sat side by side with an old beggar woman, lazily leaning against the wall as she chatted with the old beggar woman. Her eyes were calm, and she even sat by the side of the road, leaning against the wall.
Right at that moment, in the afterglow of the setting sun, not only was his heart pounding fiercely, it also carried a warm feeling. This feeling was extremely precious to him.
After that, it was the journey to Dang Yang. Although they had a large group of people with them, the journey was far and arduous. She didn't complain at all, and didn't even feel the slightest fluctuation of emotions from her. Even after she was infected with the plague and suffered from it, she did not complain. In the face of death, she was calm beyond imagination.
This kind of woman caused his heart to sink day by day. After that, he made the decision to take care of her for his entire life. With her by his side, not only would he feel warmth, he would also feel a kind of power.
She didn't have him in her heart, so he knew. But, wasn't there a lot of time in the future?
When they finally got back to Tiancheng, the place was in a prosperous and prosperous state, a completely different world from the one in Dang Yang. Along the way, everyone greeted Gu Nanfeng and gave him a big thumbs up. The old butler was already waiting at the Feng Mansion entrance, looking forward to it. As the carriage approached, his short, round body staggered forward
”feudalism, you're back.”
He reached out his hand to support Gu Nanfeng, then took a look at the maids who were staring at Gu Nanfeng with infatuation, and berated him.
”What are you waiting for?” Hurry and take feudalism's luggage into the house. ”
The servants woke up from their stupor and rushed to grab Gu Nanfeng's luggage from the carriage. Only Lan Yu stood there without moving, as she muttered to herself while looking at Gu Nanfeng with her moist red eyes.
”feudalism, luckily you came back. ”They are all saying that the Danyang disaster was severe, that the plague was rampant, and that you were delayed in coming back. This servant is worried that I won't be able to sleep well through the night.”
She thought for a while, but unexpectedly, it was as if Gu Nanfeng did not hear her, as she turned around and opened the curtain, she rushed towards Liu Yue and reached her hands out.
”Home.” It was a very simple phrase, but there was no room for resistance. She looked at Liu Yue with a determined gaze and her meaning was clear, she had to get off the carriage and follow him back to the Feng Mansion.
Seeing Gu Nanfeng like that, Lan Yu stomped her feet, covered her face and walked away while crying.
Inside the carriage, Liu Yue thought about it, but did not grab Gu Nanfeng's hand, and directly jumped off the carriage.
When they returned home, they had just rested for a moment when they received news from the palace. The main idea was that the Emperor and the Xin Fei knew that they had returned safely, and with their help, the losses suffered by the Emperor and the Xin Fei were many times better than what he had anticipated. In order to express his gratitude, the Emperor and the Xin Fei would come to the Feng Mansion to express their gratitude.
