Chapter 223 Don’t Let Anyone Catch You
Gu Yuexuan was suddenly speechless, and felt as if her throat was blocked by a ball of cotton soaked in water, causing her heart, lungs, kidneys, and stomach to ache as if being cut by a knife.
She took a deep breath repeatedly, rubbed her cheeks vigorously, and after a long while she gritted her teeth in pain: "So, you have to go?"
"Don't you fear for your life?"
Tu Subo's eyes were fixed on Gu Yuexuan for a long time. After a long time, when Gu Yuexuan could no longer bear it and was about to cover her eyes, he held her hand tightly.
"Xuanxuan, please stop..."
A cool and gentle kiss was gently imprinted on her wrist. Gu Yuexuan's heart was shocked and she instantly forgot what she wanted to say.
Tu Subo kissed her trembling wrist again and again, as if to make a promise to her. He said in a hoarse voice, "I know what's going on. I just feel guilty for making you worry."
"It'll only take three months, and I'll definitely come back to you, okay?"
"I will be back safe and sound."
In recent days, Gu Yuexuan was obviously in a bad mood. Although her complexion looked normal and her work was as organized as ever, her silence time increased significantly and she became unwilling to speak actively.
She even seemed to be deliberately avoiding Tu Subo.
This subtle atmosphere was not only noticed by Xi Lanfang and others, but even the simple-minded Tu Su Minyang noticed it.
One day, after Gu Yuexuan went out, Tu Suminyang frowned, pouted, and came to Tu Subo's side, complaining in a low voice with a hint of anger: "Brother, didn't you make the sister-in-law unhappy?"
Before Tu Subo could respond, Tu Suminyang said indignantly, "As a man, how can you bully your sister-in-law?"
"Sister-in-law has worked hard enough! You can't make her unhappy anymore!"
Tu Su Yanting was pulled in by Tu Su Minyang to help. Although she did not dare to speak frankly, her slightly frowned face was full of dissatisfaction, and she obviously agreed with this point of view.
My sister-in-law is gentle and charming, has excellent cooking skills, is capable and strong-willed, and loves children. How can you be so unreasonable?
Why did you make her angry for no reason?
Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi held hands and looked up at him, their black and white eyes filled with silent reproach.
Tu Suyunxi said bluntly: "Big brother is a bad guy."
Tu Subo couldn't help but smile bitterly, pursed his lips helplessly, and said in a complicated tone: "I didn't bully her."
Tu Suminyang stamped his feet anxiously: "Who else could it be but you? We've all reflected on this together. It must have been you who caused this!"
"I……"
"Brother, don't evade responsibility when you do something wrong."
Tu Su Yanting frowned and said earnestly, "Isn't this what you taught us?"
"Be brave, stand up and apologize to your sister-in-law, and seek her forgiveness. Otherwise, as a man, what else can you do?"
Tu Suminxu said seriously, "I don't have the responsibility."
Tu Suyunxi added incoherently, "Not brave enough."
Tu Subo's mind was already in a state of confusion, and their constant reproaches only made it even more chaotic. Facing the accusatory gazes of the four juniors, he felt a suffocation in his chest.
What can he say?
It was his decision to confess to Gu Yuexuan, and he said the blunt words himself.
Gu Yuexuan did not refuse directly at that time. Her silence in the past few days was obviously a result of weighing the pros and cons. If he took the initiative to touch the sensitive part of her heart at this moment, what effect would it have other than deepening her entanglement?
He longed to spend his life with Gu Yuexuan, but he also understood that his future actions could not escape Gu Yuexuan's insight. Instead of letting her worry all the time, it would be better to let her make her own choice after knowing the truth.
Tu Subo really didn't know how to explain to the juniors who were glaring at him angrily. Just as his scalp was tingling, the tightly closed door of the stable slowly opened.
Gu Yuexuan walked out of the house steadily, with no emotion on her face. Her eyes fell coldly on Tu Subo: "Come in, I have something to discuss with you."
Tu Suminyang hurriedly pushed Tu Subo and urged, "Hurry up, sister-in-law handed you a ladder, go and apologize!"
Tu Subo rubbed his face awkwardly, lowered his head, walked into the house, and gently closed the door. As soon as he turned around, Gu Yuexuan tossed him a heavy small cloth bag.
"Take this with you."
Tu Subo raised his eyebrows in confusion, quickly opened the cloth bag, his eyes changing rapidly.
Gu Yuexuan looked at him helplessly: "I finally managed to secretly bring some things out of the mansion. Although it's not much, it's enough to give you half."
"When do you plan to leave? Are you sure you can return within three months?"
Tu Subo tightly grasped the treasure in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Xuanxuan, I don't need these, you can keep them for yourself."
"I……"
"You are penniless now. Do you intend to go door to door with your bare hands to beg for the truth without any obstacles?"
Gu Yuexuan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I know you've already made plans, and I know you always only say half the truth, but it's a fact that you're broke, right?"
"Do you have the nerve to ask your old friend for a loan? Can you even ask?"
Tu Subo lowered his head and did not answer. The more Gu Yuexuan thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Take it. I secretly brought these things out of the Marquis' Mansion. They originally belonged to the Tu Su family."
Gu Yuexuan couldn't stop him, nor did she intend to stop him.
She thought about it over and over again in her mind. If it were her, she would make the same choice as Tu Subo without hesitation.
That was the father who was as towering as a mountain in Tu Subo's heart. It was related to the honor of the Tu Su family for generations. She felt that she was not prestigious enough and had no right to stop it.
However, Gu Yuexuan pondered for many days, then sat exhausted on the bedside, looked up at Tu Subo and said, "But I still want to advise you to be patient in everything. If you don't succeed once, wait for the next time."
"The situation now is very different from before. You must be more careful when you act outside and don't let anyone catch you in the act."
If any more trouble is caused, the Tu Su family will face a catastrophe. She really doesn't want to face such an ending so early.
Seeing that Tu Subo did not respond, she tilted her head and looked at him disappointedly: "Tu Subo, did you hear what I said?"
"Don't force yourself, you know? Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, try it out slowly next time. Don't act on impulse and cause a new storm, otherwise..."
"I see."
Tu Subo's slender fingertips gently stroked the jade pendants, oriental pearls and gold hairpins collected in the exquisite small cloth bag. After pondering for a moment, he picked out only a round oriental pearl the size of a thumb.
He walked forward slowly, squatted down, and handed all the remaining treasures into Gu Yuexuan's hands.
Gu Yuexuan was a little angry: "You are..."
"Xuanxuan."
"This one is enough."
