Chapter 110 If the prince changes his mind, he can send someone to find me

Lin Jingchuan stared at Chu Ruohan closely, secretly marveling at how scheming this woman was. She remained so calm in the face of his temptation.

Gu Junze placed a piece down and said slowly, "You lose."

He threw down the chess piece in his hand, leaned back in his wheelchair, and looked at Lin Jingchuan calmly.

Lin Jingchuan looked down and realized that in the moment when he was distracted, Gu Junze had already made a clever plan and forced him into a dead end.

He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The prince is one step ahead. I admit defeat."

"The young prince is visiting today. Could it be that he wants to play chess with me?"

Gu Junze was too lazy to continue dealing with him like this, so he asked directly.

"Although the prince is kind, he is inevitably a little weak."

Lin Jingchuan did not directly answer Gu Junze's question, but suddenly said this seemingly unrelated sentence.

"It seems that the young prince has also chosen a side. I wonder if Prince Yong knows about this?"

Prince Yong is a royalist.

"My father is old." Lin Jingchuan still did not answer directly. He just picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked mysterious.

Chu Ruohan listened to the conversation between the two and gradually understood what was going on.

I don’t know whether this young prince has chosen his camp because of Lin Xingyao, or if he had planned this for a long time. It seems that he is not here to cause trouble.

Lin Jingchuan came here most likely to recruit Gu Junze for his shadow guards.

After all, those shadow guards are all very skilled and are a force that cannot be underestimated.

Gu Junze naturally knew his purpose.

Gu Junze didn't say anything, but just stared at Lin Jingchuan quietly, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes.

He was quite patient, which made Lin Jingchuan underestimate him.

Lin Jingchuan put down his teacup, his face solemn. Just as he was about to persuade him, he heard Gu Junze say coldly: "You are just a crippled body, and have no intention of participating in the dispute. I am afraid that the young prince will have come here in vain."

When Lin Jingchuan heard this, he seemed to have expected that he would refuse. He did not show much surprise on his face, but just smiled slightly.

"It's okay. If you change your mind, you can send someone to find me."

"Show him away." Gu Junze didn't want to continue entangled with him, so he coldly ordered him to leave.

Ying Qing immediately stepped forward, ready to push Gu Junze away. Chu Ruohan also hurriedly followed.

After returning to the house, Ying Qing left, leaving only Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze in the room.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Junze suddenly spoke, his voice gentle and low, as if he could see through Chu Ruohan's thoughts.

Chu Ruohan was slightly startled, and blurted out subconsciously: "Who is he supporting?"

As soon as she said this, she immediately realized her gaffe. This sensitive topic involving the succession struggle in the imperial court could not be discussed casually even in private at home.

If heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a capital crime.

Her expression changed slightly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly said: "I...I shouldn't ask."

Gu Junze looked at her panic-stricken look and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He gently waved his hand, signaling her not to be nervous, and then said leisurely, "Third Prince."

The third prince's biological mother was Concubine Liang, who was deeply loved by the emperor and had a high status in the palace.

Moreover, the third prince's maternal grandfather's family is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, which holds military power and holds a pivotal position in the court.

Such a background gave the third prince the strength to compete.

Since the Crown Prince was imprisoned, the Third Prince has thrived, recruiting many ministers and rapidly expanding his influence in the court.

These people probably forgot that the emperor is in his prime.

This time Gu Junze really guessed wrong...

Gu Junze was originally looking forward to having further intimate contact with Chu Ruohan today and sleeping with her tonight.

But he didn't expect that Chu Ruohan would bring him a son.

Chu Ruohan was also a little embarrassed. Given the situation at that time, the old man had entrusted his child to her, so she couldn't just refuse.

Looking at the man's unfriendly face, she felt a little guilty. Doesn't this confirm the news that Gu Junze is "not capable"?

Even though the rumors are true.

Gu Junze was secretly annoyed that he should have slept with her earlier.

The little beggar lowered his head even more when he saw this. Will he be driven out?

The little beggar washed off the dirt on his body and put on new clothes.

After the dirty little face was washed, Chu Ruohan discovered that the child was very handsome, with a pair of big watery eyes, but at this moment his eyes were full of sadness.

Gu Junze sighed softly, "Forget it, since you've already agreed, then just take good care of it."

Although he tried to keep his voice calm, one could still hear a hint of helplessness in it.

Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Gu Junze.

She knew that Gu Junze had already made a big concession by saying this.

After hearing what Gu Junze said, the little beggar raised his head slightly and said, "I...I will be very obedient in the future and will not cause any trouble to you."

His voice was small, with a hint of crying.

Chu Ruohan walked forward, took his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, you can live here peacefully from now on."

Her eyes were full of tenderness and kindness, trying to make the little beggar feel warm.

"What's your name?" Chu Ruohan asked gently.

The little beggar raised his head, looked at Chu Ruohan, and hesitated for a moment. Jin'an said that his true identity should not be known to others.

"My name is...my name is Bastard."

In panic, the little beggar remembered the insults those people had said to him in the past.

A little bastard...

As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He felt uneasy and secretly looked up to observe Chu Ruohan's reaction.

Chu Ruohan frowned. Why did he choose such a name?

"Can I change your name?"

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly like a rattle.

As long as she doesn't drive him away, anything is fine.

Chu Ruohan thought for a moment and said, "Call me Chu Yun!"

"Yun" refers to sunlight, meaning brightness and warmth.

Chu Ruohan hopes that his gloomy life will be filled with light from now on.

The little beggar nodded hurriedly, saying she could call him whatever she liked, but was suddenly interrupted by a low voice.

"Why not Gu?" Gu Junze's tone was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

He sat in a wheelchair, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes fixed on Chu Ruohan and the little beggar.

Since the decision has been made to adopt the child, the child should naturally take his surname.

Aren’t they husband and wife?
