Chapter 338 I Miss You

Pearl pouted and hurriedly echoed Mingyu, her endearing appearance making both of them smile unconsciously.

"You silly girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop your young lady from marrying that Dongzi from the outer courtyard!" Gu Shuyan said with a laugh.

"Miss~" Pearl stamped her foot, her face flushing slightly.

She and Dongzi were childhood sweethearts, and their families were neighbors, so their marriage was arranged early on. This wasn't exactly a secret, but Gu Shuyan's deliberate mention of it made Pearl a little embarrassed.

"Look, look, she says she'll never get married!" Gu Shuyan continued to tease Pearl. Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Pearl simply turned her head and went to busy herself elsewhere.

"Miss, Lord Yun has arrived."

Xu Feng had been standing at the door for a while, wanting to knock, but when he heard the laughter of the three of them, he hesitated for a moment before knocking.

"Brother Yun is here!" Gu Shuyan glanced at the sky through the window, then gave the two maids a look, and the two maids tactfully withdrew.

At the same time, Yun Yichen stepped across the threshold and walked in.

"Why is Brother Yun here so late?"

Gu Shuyan got up to greet him, and as soon as she got close to Yun Yichen, a chill swept over her.

Pulling Yun Yichen by the hand, Gu Shuyan quickly helped him sit down in front of the stove and poured him a cup of tea before sitting down opposite him.

"Does Shushu mean I should come during the day?"

Yun Yichen looked at Gu Shuyan with a charming smile and a hint of teasing.

He always came at night, so apart from a few people close to Gu Shuyan, no one else would know. But if he came in broad daylight, the effect would definitely be different.

"Who said you could come during the day?"

Gu Shuyan quickly retorted, but when she met Yun Yichen's smiling eyes, she immediately realized that Yun Yichen had deliberately set a trap for her!

"You are truly despicable." Gu Shuyan raised her hand as if to hit Yun Yichen, but thinking of his injuries, she forcibly lowered her hand.

Seeing her somewhat sullen expression, Yun Yichen simply grabbed her hand and held it in his palm.

"Actually, I came here for two things," Yun Yichen said slowly, staring at Gu Shuyan.

"What is it?" Gu Shuyan's expression instantly became much more serious when the topic turned to business.

After a pause, Yun Yichen simply told Gu Shuyan how he got injured.

It turned out that the reason Yun Yichen went to the city outskirts alone that day was because he had received news that Xu Yunzhi wanted to meet a very important person there. This person was not only related to Xu Yunzhi, but also to him, which is why Yun Yichen had to make the trip.

Unfortunately, before even seeing the person, he fell into their ambush and almost lost his life because of it.

"Is that person very important?"

Although Yun Yichen did not say who he wanted to meet, the person who might make Yun Yichen take the risk was obviously not an insignificant figure.

"It's not that important, but there are some things that need to be resolved face-to-face."

Yun Yichen spoke in a detached tone, as if he disdained that person. Seeing his expression, Gu Shuyan was at a loss for words.

"So your first thing is related to this person?"

Gu Shuyan was certain that Yun Yichen's words to her were not just casual remarks.

Yun Yichen had nothing to hide from Gu Shuyan, so he nodded and said, "I need to see him, but I won't do anything, just a simple meeting."

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

Gu Shuyan had thus agreed to Yun Yichen's request. Upon seeing this, Yun Yichen quickly whispered a few words in Gu Shuyan's ear.

After hearing this, Gu Shuyan's initial shock gradually turned into hesitation. Yun Yichen didn't urge her, but simply waited quietly for her to make a decision. In the end, Gu Shuyan did not disappoint his trust and nodded in agreement.

"And the second thing?"

Gu Shuyan hadn't forgotten that Yun Yichen had said he had two things to discuss with her. The first had already been said; wasn't it time for the second?

Looking at Gu Shuyan's serious expression, Yun Yichen couldn't help but chuckle. "The second thing is that I missed you, so I came to see you."

Gu Shuyan felt incredibly embarrassed when Yun Yichen uttered those sweet words in such a flippant manner. She had previously only thought this man was difficult to get along with, but she hadn't expected him to have the potential to be a philanderer.

"Shameless," Gu Shuyan scolded in a low voice, turning her flushed face away.

Yun Yichen wasn't about to let her escape so easily. As he leaned towards her, he suddenly turned her to face him.

You don't believe me?

I don't believe it.

"Do you not believe I miss you, or do you not believe I want to see you?"

"I don't believe it at all."

Gu Shuyan dared not look Yun Yichen in the eye, but Yun Yichen insisted on making her look at him, so no matter what he said, Gu Shuyan stubbornly denied it.

However, being stubborn also has its risks. For example, at this moment, as soon as Gu Shuyan finished speaking, Yun Yichen's soft, thin lips kissed her lips directly.

The warm touch made Yun Yichen's body tremble, and the two of them shuddered at the same time. In the end, Gu Shuyan reacted quickly and tried to push Yun Yichen away, but Yun Yichen would not let her have her way. Not only did he not let go of her, but he also forcefully deepened the kiss.

A moment later, a feeling of suffocation came over them, and both of them were breathing rapidly before Yun Yichen slowly released Gu Shuyan.

I really miss you.

Yun Yichen's voice was husky and alluring, and his whispered murmur made Gu Shuyan tremble. The words of rebuttal that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.

I miss you too.

Gu Shuyan's words were like heavenly music. She was not one to be coy, so since that was what she thought, she readily admitted it.

You have to understand that before, she insisted on marrying him regardless of his wishes. Now that they are in love, why can't they say some sweet nothings?

Hearing Gu Shuyan's response, Yun Yichen smiled and was about to reach out to pull her into his arms when Gu Shuyan hugged his waist first.

"Do you still remember when we were at the Marquis of Jinning's residence, you clung to my leg like this, refusing to let go?"

Recalling the situation at the time, Yun Yichen found it incredibly funny.

I don't know what that girl was thinking at the time, hugging a man in that way. Could it be that she fell in love with me at first sight?

The aloof Prime Minister's mind was filled with fantasies. The smile on his face was a far cry from the initial aloofness and unapproachability he had shown. He was clearly just a young man infatuated with a girl.
