Realizing that her safety awareness had been ignored, but Wen Yi wasn't stupid either, she quickly replied to Master Gu, "But I know it's you."
Gu Huaixu, wearing a mask, raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by Wen Yi's reaction.
When most girls are reminded like this, they realize what they've overlooked and panic, throwing off their train of thought and bringing up all sorts of topics, but unlike Wen Yi, they don't grasp the key points.
She is truly rational.
Gu Huaixu turned his head and suddenly laughed.
This older sister is really smart.
She was held back by the Wen family before. If she had been born anywhere other than the Wen family, she wouldn't be the way she is now.
Especially if she grew up in the Gu family, surrounded by a smart and shrewd woman like Madam Gu, Wen Yi's future would be limitless.
Madam Gu will raise Wen Yi to be exceptionally outstanding.
A rational and intelligent person like her will only become the second Mrs. Gu, or even worse.
Gu Huaixu suddenly realized that the fact that his faked death had dragged Wen Yi into the mess wasn't entirely a bad thing, and the guilt he had felt before gradually diminished.
If it weren't for this faked death, Wen Yi wouldn't have come back, and Wen Yi wouldn't be the Wen Yi we know today.
"It's late, I'll drive back first."
Wen Yi received no response from Master Gu. Regarding his behavior of looking out the window and laughing, Wen Yi had a premonition that the other party might think he was quick to react.
But Wen Yi has no interest in discussing this matter right now.
She just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want Master Gu to know about this cemetery.
This time, Wen Yi didn't give the other party a chance to refuse to drive. He quickly shifted the car into gear and stepped on the gas, speeding off.
The car was moving at extremely high speed, and it swayed slightly.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, and the area was extremely desolate, so the road conditions were safe.
However, after the car had traveled some distance from the cemetery, Wen Yi slowed down and drove quietly on the road back towards Yutingyuan.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back because you're afraid I'll find out something?"
Inside the quiet carriage, a man's mocking voice rang out.
Wen Yi stared straight ahead, retorting expressionlessly, "Second Master Gu, aren't you afraid I'll question you by appearing here alone in the middle of the night?"
"You can ask, in case I want to answer you."
“I’m not interested,” Wen Yi said. “We’re just a business couple. If you need anything, just let me know, and if I need anything, I’ll let you know.”
Another subtext of Wen Yi's words is: So you don't need to care that I'm here.
"I do have a need."
"Please speak."
"Sleep with me tonight..."
brake!
Almost the instant Master Gu finished speaking, Wen Yi slammed on the brakes.
She gripped the steering wheel with both hands, staring at Master Gu in disbelief. "You, you..."
"Do I need to repeat myself?" Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow. "Fine, what I mean is..."
"No need," Wen Yi interrupted, staring blankly ahead. "I understand."
She released the brake and stepped on the gas, heading towards the Imperial Garden.
Normally, the speed of the car is neither too fast nor too slow, but after starting this time, it is almost impossible to press the accelerator, and the speed is extremely slow.
Gu Huaixu sat in the driver's seat, his arms crossed over his chest. He was well aware of Wen Yi's speed. A smile played on his lips as he deliberately made a "tsk" sound.
Wen frowned, feeling a deep-seated aversion to the voice.
Her thoughts were somewhat similar to Gu Zeyu's emotions just now.
It's a typical case of someone seeing through your little thoughts and making you feel very embarrassed.
Wen gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas.
What's the point of hiding? This road isn't endless; we'll have to face it eventually.
Instead of suffering on the road, it's better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later.
Thinking of this, Wen Yi began to speed up, pressing the accelerator even harder.
"Women, their emotions are so changeable," Gu Huaixu remarked.
“Men, it’s all the same old thing,” Wen Yi retorted.
“I’m just stating my needs. You said we’re a couple working together, and I need to tell you my needs so you can cooperate.”
“I didn’t refuse, I didn’t say I wouldn’t cooperate, and I didn’t say anything else nonsense, did I, Second Master Gu?”
"That's true."
"So what is Second Master Gu reminiscing about?"
"Weren't you just expressing your feelings?"
"I am expressing my feelings about Master Gu."
"What a thoughtful and kind wife."
“I’m a loving and considerate wife, but Second Master Gu is a rather lacking husband,” Wen retorted expressionlessly.
Gu Huaixu laughed out loud.
Compared to the dull and clumsy Wen Yi of the past, Gu Huaixu really liked this sharp-tongued older sister who never suffered any loss.
Wen Yi is so outstanding and admirable.
Unlike before...
Silent, dull, never saying a word, swallowing all grievances, able to endure any hardship, bearing burdens that make one feel...heartache.
It hurts so much I can't bear it.
Gu Huaixu shifted his gaze to the window, and the various scenes of his encounter with Wen Yi couldn't help but surface in his mind.
He started to regret it.
I regret ending this game too soon.
There were many things I didn't do with Wen Yi.
For example, I want to give her a very romantic proposal.
I want to take her to see a snowfall.
I want to take her to see Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, to see the wonders of the world...
It's a real shame.
The more Gu Huaixu thought about these things, the more his originally calm emotions began to stir, like countless cat claws gripping his heart.
Gu Huaixu irritably loosened his tie.
Wen glanced at it, then turned on the car's air conditioning, making it even faster.
The car arrived at the Imperial Garden.
Wen got out of the car and was about to get in when she found the man still sitting in the passenger seat.
When Wen turned around, the person was standing in front of the car, staring at the person sitting in the passenger seat across the distance. Wen's eyes were full of incomprehension.
Looking into those deep, dark eyes, which were now filled with complex and distant emotions, Wen Yi couldn't understand them at all. In an instant, Wen Yi thought of Gu Huaixu.
His eyes were also so deep and beautiful, like a whirlpool that seemed to have no bottom and was incredibly alluring.
Wen Yi had imagined that when she finally met those eyes in the bar, she would be captivated, her heart would flutter, and she would be unable to extricate herself.
Looking into those similar eyes now, Wen Yi was moved once again.
She began to wonder what the man sitting in the passenger seat was thinking.
I started to wonder, if he hadn't been disfigured, would his original face have resembled Gu Huaixu's?
So many questions...
Curious, Wen wondered which step in the previous episode led her to touch the other person.
However, just as Wen Yi was about to move, the man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly moved and sat in the driver's seat.
He started the car, reversed it, and quickly drove away from the Royal Garden, leaving Wen Yi standing alone at the entrance of the Royal Garden, stunned with a look of surprise.
The man who had been so assertive in expressing his needs just moments before suddenly drove away.
Why?
"It's said that women's emotions are changeable, but men's emotions aren't much more stable either; they can do whatever they want."
Wen Yi complained in frustration, unable to understand why Master Gu had suddenly left.
