"Are you alright?" The other person squatted down in front of Wen Yi, looking very worried.
Because he jumped into the water to save someone, his clothes were soaked, and water droplets dripped down his cheeks, making him look far from his usual serious and refined self.
Wen Yi was shocked by the way the other person looked at her at that moment—urgent and worried.
"Wen Yi, are you alright?"
Seeing that she remained silent, he pressed on, "Shall I take you to the hospital?"
"No need, Young Master Gu, I'm fine," Wen Yi said, trying to stand up, but her legs were a little weak, so Gu Zeyu bent down and picked her up.
Wen Yi was shocked, "Young Master Gu."
"I just saw Xia Xiaomeng push you. I'm taking you back to settle the score with her now." Gu Zeyu's voice was cold, his lips pursed, clearly angry.
"No……"
“No need,” Gu Zeyu said. “Besides, this matter is probably related to Wen Ge as well, so we need to go back and settle things one by one.”
He carried Wen Yi home.
Wen Yi was in Gu Zeyu's arms, but she was not moved by Gu Zeyu saving her, or rather, by him standing up for her.
When Gu Zeyu arrived, he was standing next to Wen Ge, defending her and criticizing Wen Yi.
Now, because Wen Yi fell into the water, Gu Zeyu stood by her side and even wanted to take her home to settle scores with Wen Ge, to stand up for Wen Yi and criticize Wen Ge.
Gu Zeyu has been constantly switching between her and the Wen sisters when it comes to marriage.
At first, he abandoned Wen Ge and chose Wen Yi, but after Wen Ge staged a suicide scene, he leaned towards Wen Ge again, and then sided with Wen Yi whenever something happened.
They keep switching sides, siding with whoever is weaker, unable to make a single choice.
Wen Yi had previously thought that the best way to refuse the substitute marriage was to win over Gu Zeyu and marry Gu Zeyu herself, so that Wen Ge could follow the normal path of marrying into the Yutingyuan family.
But now Wen Yi feels that she will never be able to marry Gu Zeyu.
Gu Zeyu's indecisiveness and tendency to side with whoever is weaker is definitely not a good choice. Even if there is a way to make Gu Zeyu choose you now, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future.
This man is no better than that gentleman in the Imperial Garden.
That guy was blatantly evil, while Gu Zeyu was evasive and secretive about his wickedness; they were the same.
'Bang'!
Just as Wen Yi was thinking about these things, Gu Zeyu kicked open the courtyard door, bumping right into Xia Xiaomeng, who was leading Wen Ge out.
"Sister," Wen Ge called out first.
Xia Xiaomeng looked pale and hid behind Wen Ge.
Wen Ge stepped forward and said, "Sister, are you alright? Xiao Meng came to me just now and said that she accidentally bumped into you while she was on the phone, causing you to fall into the water. She asked me to find a way to get to you and save you."
"Just because you made a phone call, Wen Yi fell into the water?" Gu Zeyu's gaze was fixed on Xia Xiaomeng, which frightened Xia Xiaomeng into shrinking into Wen Ge's arms.
Wen Ge glanced at it. Although Xia Xiaomeng said that Gu Zeyu had saved Wen Yi, Wen Ge still felt uneasy because Gu Zeyu seemed to be standing up for Wen Yi.
Wen Ge hurriedly said, "Young Master Gu, Sister Xiaomeng told me about this. It really was an accident. Sister, I'm so glad you're alright. I was just about to go find you... cough cough."
Wen Ge began to show weakness, her body swaying slightly.
However, this time Gu Zeyu did not take care of her as before. Instead, he said coldly, "If you really wait until you go to look for her, you will no longer have a sister."
After saying that, Gu Zeyu strode into the inner room.
While her grandparents were tidying up in the kitchen, Wen Yi, afraid of disturbing them, had Gu Zeyu go around to the inner room through a side door.
Wen Ge stood there and saw this scene, her expression turning somber.
Xia Xiaomeng reminded, "Wen Ge, I just said that Young Master Gu treats your sister differently. If you don't do something, your sister might snatch Young Master Gu away from you."
"Your sister is invincible. She stole her own sister's man. Heaven is watching what people do. Doesn't she fear being struck by lightning?"
Wen Ge did not respond to Xia Xiaomeng's words; she was preoccupied with her own thoughts.
Before Gu Zeyu accompanied her back to the countryside, he still favored her. But now that he has seen Wen Yi, his attitude has changed again. It is truly a case of the two sisters constantly switching sides.
Regardless of the circumstances, Wen Ge has to win over Young Master Du Gu, or she'll have to marry into the Royal Garden.
She wanted to be the glamorous Mrs. Gu, not the canary of the Second Master of the Imperial Garden!
...
In the end, Wen Yi did not stay to spend the night with her grandparents.
They had agreed that Wen Yi would ride back in Gu Zeyu's car, but she called a car in advance, said a few words, and left in the car, which Gu Zeyu couldn't stop her from doing.
She sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and gave the Wen family's address.
"Okay, sister."
The moment the familiar voice rang out, Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the driver.
I was in a hurry when I got on the bus, and I didn't pay much attention to the driver because he was a young man wearing a hat and a mask. But when he spoke, I could tell it was Gu Huaixu.
"you?"
Gu Huaixu stepped on the gas and sped off, taking off his mask and hat to reveal his true face. He turned back and gave Wen Yi a smirk.
Wen Yi was speechless, unsure of what to say.
She couldn't deceive herself; seeing Gu Huaixu at this moment made her happy.
She felt happy whenever she saw Gu Huaixu.
However, Wen Yi was very clear that she was now in a state of severing ties with Gu Huaixu, and she could not show these emotions, or even express them too much.
“If you say you’ve already arrived, I don’t need to call a ride-hailing service,” Wen Yi said, trying to keep her tone indifferent.
Gu Huaixu glanced at it. "My sister clearly refused to ride in my car, so I had no choice but to resort to this method. I thought you would be happy."
"There's nothing to be happy or unhappy about, it's just a car ride." Wen Yi simply closed her eyes. "I'm very tired, I'm going to take a nap."
She pretended to be asleep.
In fact, Wen Yi couldn't sleep at all; he was fully conscious throughout the entire car ride.
It was clear that Gu Huaixu slowed down the car, and even when stopped at a traffic light, the car remained very stable. He would also occasionally reach out and touch Wen Yi's forehead.
Worried about the bright lights from the air conditioning and the stuffy smell, I opened the back window for a while and found Wen Yi a jacket...
Wen Yi was taken very well in throughout the car journey, which made her incredibly soft-hearted and even moved her to tears.
She has always been the older sister since childhood. When she was in her hometown, she had to take care of the elderly. She had to be sensible and not burden the elderly, so she had to take good care of herself.
Later, when they returned to the city, Wen Yi not only had to take care of herself, but also her younger siblings. No one thought that Wen Yi needed to be taken care of, let alone that she had any experience of being taken care of.
Only Gu Huaixu.
Only he would give her all the details.
Wen turned her face to the window, hiding her tears.
The car stopped two or three blocks away from the Wen family's residence. Gu Huaixu didn't try to wake Wen Yi; he just left the car there.
Wen Yi pretended to be asleep, as it wasn't a good time to open her eyes. She also had her own selfish reasons, thinking that if he didn't wake her up, she would pretend to be asleep so that the two of them could stay together for a little while longer.
There won't be many opportunities in the future.
