Wen Yi was momentarily taken aback.
She didn't know if it was because she was too drunk and dizzy, or something else.
Why does Master Gu look at me with such tenderness, as if he's gazing at a lover he's long admired?
Wen blinked and shook her head.
Looking at Master Gu's eyes again, one could not discern anything.
Wen Yi burped and shifted his gaze elsewhere. "As expected, I can't hold my liquor. My eyes are blurry when I'm drunk."
Gu Huaixu was very close to Wen Yi, so he could naturally hear her muttering.
He just chuckled, his hand naturally resting on Wen Yi's head, giving it a gentle rub.
First time I've noticed... um...
Her hair is quite soft.
Wen Yi was probably really drunk, otherwise she wouldn't have leaned into the man's arms after Second Master Gu put his hand on her head.
This way I have a point of support; otherwise, I'll feel dizzy and might fall over.
Wen Yi convinced herself of this.
Gu Huaixu looked down at her, then casually moved his arm to Wen Yi's shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.
“Look up at the moon tonight, it’s beautiful,” Gu Huaixu suddenly said.
Wen Yi closed her eyes and turned her head into Gu Huaixu's arms.
After a minute or two, he said, "I don't want to look at the moon."
Gu Huaixu looked down at her.
"I won't say I miss you either," Wen Yi said softly again.
The moon is beautiful tonight, and I miss you so much.
But I won't look at the moon, nor will I... say I miss you.
But you are right beside me.
The atmosphere suddenly changed inexplicably, and the two fell silent, but did not separate.
Wen Yi was in Gu Huaixu's arms, and Gu Huaixu naturally put his arm around her, a very intimate gesture.
"Second Master Gu, may I ask you a question?" Wen Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
Gu Huaixu looked up at the moon.
She actually guessed what Wen Yi was going to ask.
I really want to say: Don't ask, I won't answer.
But the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them, so he just said two words: "Ask away."
"Is Gu Huaixu still alive?" Wen Yi finally asked.
She made no move to leave his embrace, nor did she look up at him. She simply stayed quietly in Master Gu's arms, waiting for an answer.
Gu Huaixu sighed, "I don't know."
“But his WeChat is with you, which means you two have a close relationship. If it was just a premeditated fake death, then you must be the one who knows the truth,” Wen Yi said.
"Why are you so sure it's me?"
Wen paused for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her arms and met his eyes. "I don't know."
"This answer is too perfunctory."
"I really don't know, it's just a gut feeling. I had a feeling it from the moment I found out that you were using Ah Xu's WeChat account."
I just hadn't asked before.
The reason I don't know or don't want to ask is because I can't find a suitable opportunity or a suitable reason.
I always felt that this was a difficult question to ask.
Perhaps the moonlight is truly beautiful tonight, and Wen Yi is genuinely drunk.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere between the two of them was slightly ambiguous tonight, Wen Yi deliberately mentioned Gu Huaixu, wanting to ask questions, and at the same time wanting to remind herself not to get carried away.
Sometimes, I have a kind of illusion.
As Wen Yi spoke, she suddenly reached out and touched the mask on the man's face with her fingers.
The mask has intricate patterns, which can be felt when touched with the fingertips.
Wen Yi's hand finally stopped below the mask.
With just a slight movement, the mask was lifted.
Gu Huaixu lowered his eyes and glanced at Wen Yi's hand without making a sound. "What misconception?"
"It's a ridiculous illusion," Wen Yi said with a wry smile.
"Um?"
"It's so outrageous that I would think you and Gu Huaixu are actually the same person." Wen Yi smiled bitterly. "The second master of Yutingyuan, that disfigured devilish tyrant, is actually the upright and bright second young master of the Gu family."
Wen Yi felt like laughing after saying all that.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gu Huaixu casually grabbed Wen Yi's hand that was holding his mask, pressed Wen Yi against the railing, and braced his hands on either side of Wen Yi's body.
"What if I really am?" Gu Huaixu suddenly asked.
“Then I will die with you.” Wen Yi said resolutely.
Gu Huaixu frowned. "So ruthless?"
"If that's the case, shouldn't you be happy? Gu Huaixu didn't die, he's still by your side, accompanying you."
“I can accept that he faked his death to set up his own scheme, even if he deceived me. Even if everything that happened between us before was a lie.”
Wen Yi spoke with great sorrow, her eyes welling up with tears.
A sense of sadness at being hurt.
It stung Gu Huaixu's eyes; he felt that Wen Yi's gaze not only pierced his eyes but also his heart.
"That……"
“But I don’t accept this kind of deception.” Wen Yi’s face suddenly turned cold as she stared at the man in front of her.
"I don't accept it. He is you, living a perfectly good life, yet watching me suffer every day. It makes me feel like a joke, like a clown being fooled."
It is a form of personal humiliation.
It involves self-esteem.
If it's just a fleeting romance, then not loving is not loving, and we can simply say that Wen Yi believed those sweet words.
So many people come and go in this world; whether you love someone or not has never been that important.
But……
If Gu Huaixu were the Second Master Gu, then this wouldn't be a story about love or hate.
This is a trampling of human dignity!
Gu Huaixu was shocked by Wen Yi's words.
For the first time, she understood what she had done to Wen Yi.
It was at this moment that Wen Yi suddenly burst into laughter, “But this topic and this intuition are actually quite ridiculous.”
"How could such a bright and upright young master of the Gu family be a vengeful ghost hiding in the darkness?"
“A vengeful ghost,” Wen Yi added.
"A vengeful ghost." Gu Huaixu pondered Wen Yi's words. "How could you think that?"
“No one wants to hide in the shadows, and you frequently travel to and from the capital, and I’ve heard that there’s a certain person there who seems to be angry because of something you did…”
The conversation stalled there; Wen Yi suddenly paused, "Should I continue guessing, or does Second Master not want me to continue?"
Continuing to speculate would infringe on the other person's privacy, which would be too presumptuous.
Gu Huaixu smiled and said, "Continue."
Now that he had been granted permission, Wen Yi, still slightly drunk, continued to speculate, "If my observations are correct, the person Second Master Gu wants to take revenge on should be that very remarkable figure in the capital."
"It's a woman, surnamed Gu."
"She is Mr. Liang's cousin."
Wen Yi spoke slowly and deliberately, “So you have the right to support me in dealing with Lin Na, and even hope that I will make a big fuss and alarm Ms. Gu in the capital. Ms. Gu should be a person who cares about face and has a strong desire to win.”
Linna may be an insignificant person, but Linna is connected to her. Her people suffered a crushing defeat with me, so naturally she wants to seek justice.
