Chapter 387 Angry

"Is it Gu Rui?"

Yun Yichen said with absolute certainty, "As far as I know, there is no one named Gu Rui in the Gu family, so who exactly is this Gu Rui?"

Yun Yichen's thinking was simple: someone who could be so important to Gu Shuyan, and who would even set up a memorial tablet for him at a temple, couldn't possibly be an ordinary person. And if this person wasn't a member of the Gu family, they could only be someone very important to Gu Shuyan, perhaps even someone she loved.

Gu Shuyan naturally noticed that Yun Yichen was in a bad mood, but she wasn't angry when he brushed her hand away.

She reached out and grasped Yun Yichen's hands again. "Brother Yun, I'll tell you about this from now on, okay? Let's go back first!"

Gu Shuyan wasn't sure if Yun Yichen would believe her if she told him about her past life now, so the best course of action was to remain silent. At least until Lu Youming and those who had harmed them in their past lives were still alive, she wouldn't say a word.

However, Gu Shuyan's avoidance only confirmed Yun Yichen's suspicions.

"Is Gu Rui very important to you?"

Yun Yichen's voice trembled slightly. Seeing that Yun Yichen would not give up until he found the answer, Gu Shuyan sighed and nodded, "Yes, it's very important, you could say it's extremely important."

It's one thing to guess, but it's quite another to actually hear Gu Shuyan admit it.

Yun Yichen looked at the little girl in front of him. She used to be half a head shorter than she is now. She could hug his thigh with just a slight bend. She would even grab him and act spoiled, saying that she wanted to marry him.

But Yun Yichen suddenly had doubts about what she said. Did she really like him and that's why she wanted to marry him? How could she like him the first time she saw him, when he was such an annoying person?

It seems that she had been clinging to him from the very beginning, and at that time she clearly did not know his preferences, yet she still followed him around.

Why did you approach me in the first place?

Yun Yichen suddenly felt that Gu Shuyan's approach to him was always driven by ulterior motives.

Watching Yun Yichen slowly back away, Gu Shuyan panicked. What should she tell him? Should she tell him that she only approached him for Rui'er's sake? Or should she tell him that she just wanted to curry favor with him?

Gu Shuyan hesitated, and her hesitation proved that she approached him not because she liked him, but because she had a specific purpose in mind.

"I never expected that even you would lie to me."

Gu Shuyan didn't see how sad Yun Yichen was when he said those words, but she was flustered when Yun Yichen withdrew his hand.

She hurriedly tried to hug Yun Yichen, but heard Yun Yichen coldly say, "When the time is right in a few days, I will go to the Marquis's mansion to break off the engagement."

Yun Yichen's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Gu Shuyan's ears.

Gu Shuyan swayed and almost fell to the ground. However, Yun Yichen seemed not to notice and strode away from the riverbank.

Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe were taken to a distance and did not hear their conversation, but they did see Yun Yichen abandon Gu Shuyan and return on his own.

"Yuxin, what's going on?"

Gu Yuhe secretly observed the scene before her, and Gu Yuxin quickly shook her head at her.

Gu Shuyan didn't know how she got back to the North Courtyard. She only remembered that when she came to her senses, she was already lying in bed.

The next day, Gu Shuyan washed up, paid her respects, and ate breakfast as usual, and then took Pearl to the Yun residence.

"Master, Miss Gu has arrived."

Zhong Lin looked at his master with some difficulty and said.

As soon as Yun Yichen returned last night, he instructed the gatekeeper that he would not see anyone from the Marquis of Yi'an's residence today.

After saying this, his master stayed in the study and never went out again.

Although Zhong Lin didn't know what exactly happened between Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen yesterday, it was obvious that his master was really angry.

"Tell her to go back and that I'm busy," Yun Yichen instructed Zhong Lin without looking up.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin glanced at Yun Yichen with a troubled expression. "Miss Gu said that if the master doesn't see her, she should tell him that she's here to ask you for the person back."

"You want me to take people?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen narrowed his eyes. Just when Zhong Lin thought he wouldn't speak, Yun Yichen finally made a move.

"Let her in."

Yun Yichen said that he had already stood up before committing the crime, and even followed Zhong Lin out of the room.

As soon as Gu Shuyan entered the courtyard, she saw Yun Yichen standing at the door waiting for her. She smiled and ran to the front.

"Is Brother Yun still angry?"

Gu Shuyan tilted her head as if nothing had happened, and gave Yun Yichen her signature smile as usual.

This time, however, Yun Yichen didn't even glance at him, and coldly said, "I heard that Miss Gu came to me to ask for someone. I wonder what kind of person Miss Gu has here?"

"Yes, Brother Yun, have you forgotten? My personal guard was delivered to the Yun residence yesterday."

As soon as Gu Shuyan finished speaking, a mocking smile appeared on Yun Yichen's lips.

Turning around, Zhong Lin waved to the crowd in the courtyard and immediately gestured for everyone to leave.

Once only Yun Yichen and Gu Shuyan remained in the courtyard, Yun Yichen stared intently at Gu Shuyan with his eyes wide open. "If I remember correctly, Xu Feng shouldn't be Miss Gu's man, right?"

Yun Yichen kept referring to himself as "this official," and his distant tone made Gu Shuyan feel uncomfortable for a moment. However, considering that he was in a bad mood, she didn't bother to argue with him.

"Brother Yun, have you forgotten that Xu Feng is now my man? He lives in the Marquis's mansion and was sent to my mansion by Prince Luo, so naturally he is my man."

Gu Shuyan's words only made Yun Yichen's eyes narrow dangerously.

"If Miss Gu hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that Miss Gu has such a suitor!"

Yun Yichen's words were ambiguous, making Gu Shuyan shudder involuntarily.

It's true that men, when they get angry, are more troublesome than women.

However, Gu Shuyan didn't believe it at all. She simply couldn't believe that with her thick skin, she couldn't handle Yun Yichen, this taciturn guy.

"What suitors? Brother Yun, are you mistaken? I'm just a country girl, I'm not pretty, I don't have a good figure, I have nothing, why would anyone pursue me!"

Gu Shuyan didn't hold back when she started to criticize herself, almost making herself sound completely worthless. However, when Yun Yichen heard her words, his eyes darkened even more.

"Miss Gu, are you saying that everyone who's interested in you is blind?"
