Gu Huaixu did not respond to Wen Yi's words, but his gaze towards her became increasingly interesting.
Wen Yi just had someone to confide in, and after sharing her plans and thoughts, she didn't feel as much pressure.
She looked ahead and, seeing that the other person did not answer, thought that the topic would end there.
However, just as Wen Yi was about to stop talking, the man next to her suddenly leaned forward, his face close to Wen Yi's, while supporting himself on the back of the chair with one hand.
This face, covered in horrific scars and burns, is a powerful visual and psychological shock when viewed up close.
Wen Yi was startled.
The man's face drew closer, and he reached out to pinch Wen Yi's cheek, examining her closely.
Wen Yi was somewhat resistant. "What do you want to say?"
"You're pretty bad," Gu Huaixu concluded.
Initially, Gu Huaixu needed to choose one of the two Wen sisters as a cover. While he was still observing Wen Ge and Wen Yi, Wen Yi took the initiative to offer herself up.
From the very first glance, Gu Huaixu knew that Wen Yi was not as gentle and harmless as she appeared on the surface; deep down, she was just like him.
Dark and gloomy.
If it were in the past, Wen Yi would definitely have argued back if someone had said that to her. She had always been obedient at home, helping her family and Wen Ge, just because she didn't want to be criticized for not being a good older sister, and she didn't want her parents to accuse her of being a bad child.
But now, Wen has long since let it go.
In the end, all a good girl gets is the title of "good," and all her sacrifices and efforts are taken for granted.
But 'bad girls' can always do whatever they want and refuse what they don't want.
Wen Yi raised her chin. "Am I really that bad? Did it take you so long for Second Master to realize?"
"I'm wondering, since you're so wicked, will you one day turn on me?"
“That’s not necessarily true,” Wen Yi said truthfully. “Perhaps one day, I will set up a bigger scheme in order to break away from the Imperial Garden.”
"I'm really looking forward to the day when the sun rises again."
Gu Huaixu released Wen Yi, sat back in the seat next to him, and had a rather contented smile on his lips.
I'm quite satisfied with Wen Yi being so bad.
He liked it very much.
Wen Yi sensed that the people around her seemed to be in a pretty good mood, which puzzled her.
Generally speaking, people prefer a beautiful and elegant girl like Wen Ge, and they certainly wouldn't have a good impression of someone who threatens to scheme against them.
But this person...
Wen Yi couldn't quite figure it out.
But then again, if Wen Yi could figure out the Second Master Gu of the Imperial Garden, then he wouldn't be the infamous Second Master Gu.
For Wen Yi now, Master Gu is more like a substitute.
A stand-in for Gu Huaixu.
Whenever Wen Yi looks into Master Gu's eyes, she subconsciously thinks of him as A Xu. Wen Yi has also thought that since she can find a pair of eyes in this world that are so similar to A Xu's, why can't she treat him as A Xu's substitute?
It allows her to have something to rely on, so that when she's going crazy from missing someone to the point of suffocation, someone can take her place and alleviate her suffocation.
fine.
Wen turned her head to look at the man sitting next to her, a faint smile curving her lips.
"Second Master, I will be returning to the Wen family early tomorrow morning. I may be traveling between the Wen family and my hometown for the time being because I need to take care of my maternal grandparents' funeral."
Gu Huaixu turned his head and met Wen Yi's gaze. He was puzzled by Wen Yi's well-behaved nature, and when their eyes met, he sensed the smile in Wen Yi's eyes. Gu Huaixu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Is this woman in a good mood?
Wen Yi was indeed in a good mood. When she sat back down, she leaned back in her chair and tilted her head to rest on Gu Huaixu's shoulder.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the feeling of leaning on the other person's shoulder is so similar to the feeling of leaning on Ah Xu.
Gu Huaixu couldn't quite predict Wen Yi's series of actions.
Not to mention Gu Huaixu's inability to see clearly, even Luo Yi, who was driving in front, couldn't quite understand it.
It is common knowledge that Wen Yi was extremely unhappy about marrying into the Imperial Garden, and her mood was always not good. It is even well known that she had some degree of rejection and fear of the Second Master.
Is this considered... taking the initiative to get closer?
Gu Huaixu shifted slightly, and Wen Yi frowned. "Don't move, I'm very tired."
She closed her eyes, clung to Master Gu's arm, and rested her head on his shoulder, refusing to move.
If Gu Huaixu moves even slightly, Wen Yi will pinch him.
"Second Madam, aren't you being a little..."
"Since I am the second wife of the Imperial Garden, is there any problem with me relying on my husband?"
Wen Yi didn't even open her eyes. Whenever Master Gu moved, Wen Yi would pinch his arm.
Gu Huaixu was amused. "No problem."
He leaned back, letting Wen Yi comfortably hug him and rest on his shoulder.
Wen Yi is really tired.
Facing the Wen family, Wen Yi wasn't physically exhausted, but his heart and spirit were. Every time he left the Wen family, he would be in a state of extreme fatigue.
Today, she leaned on Master Gu's shoulder, as if she had returned to the time when Gu Huaixu was still alive, and she was so close to Xu.
Wen Yi was so captivated by it that she fell asleep without even realizing it.
When the car arrived at the Royal Garden, Wen Yi was still fast asleep and couldn't wake up.
Gu Huaixu looked down at her. It was the first time he had seen her sleep so unrestrainedly next to Master Gu, as if she wasn't afraid of being sold or killed.
Gu Huaixu even became interested and poked Wen Yi's cheek.
Wen Yi didn't wake up; she was still fast asleep.
Gu Huaixu became interested and poked Wen Yi again. When Wen Yi reacted and her eyelashes trembled, Gu Huaixu stopped and sat down to the side, putting on airs.
But Wen Yi didn't wake up for a long time.
When Gu Huaixu turned his head, he saw that Wen Yi's eyelashes were trembling violently, with water droplets still hanging on them. Even with her eyes closed, tears still fell uncontrollably.
"Grandpa..."
"grandmother……"
"sorry……"
"Ah Xu, I miss you, Ah Xu..."
Wen Yi murmured softly, her words muffled, so much so that Gu Huaixu could barely hear her. He could only sense the deep sorrow in the person in his arms.
"She actually cried?" Luo Yi couldn't help but complain as he watched all this.
Gu Huaixu looked up and glanced at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi hurriedly explained, "Second Master, you don't know, this woman didn't cry when you faked your death, and she didn't cry when she learned that her maternal grandparents had died. I thought this woman was cold-blooded and heartless, but it turns out she can cry..."
"Need me to get you a megaphone, hmm?" Gu Huaixu lifted his eyelids, his gaze cold.
Luo Yi was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth and dared not utter a sound.
A servant from the Imperial Garden opened the car door, and Gu Huaixu carried the sleeping Wen out of the car and headed upstairs to the bedroom.
Xiao Kongkong happened to see this scene from the car, which was quite strange.
Xiao Kongkong believed that Wen Yi looked weak but had a strong protective layer, so it was impossible for her to fall asleep at this critical moment and let the Second Master carry her upstairs.
Wen Yi found it strange, and so did Master Gu…
