Gu Yizhi had already guessed the answer, which is why he came here in a rage to question Qi Yu.
Qi Yu is not an awkward person, nor is he one to lie; therefore, the words he speaks are always the most truthful answers.
"Then why didn't you say so sooner?" Gu Yizhi pulled over a chair and sat down. "If I hadn't seen her by accident, were you planning to keep quiet for the rest of your life?"
"Wait, what did you mean by bringing her home last time? Are you asking me to guess?"
If Qi Yu really wanted to keep it a secret forever, he would never have brought her to him.
Even if Qi Yu really wanted to, he couldn't keep it a secret forever.
Lan Qingyue is a public figure; she appears on screen every few days. Sooner or later, she'll be discovered.
Gu Yizhi grew anxious. His good manners, honed since childhood, prevented him from slamming his fist on the table or kicking a chair. He could only express his anger through his eyes. "Ayu, we've known each other for thirty years. What are you thinking? Why did you keep it a secret for three years!"
They kept it a secret for at least three years.
Qi Yu had already turned around and stared at Gu Yizhi, whose anger had not diminished at all, for a long time. The powerful sense of oppression, with neither of them willing to back down, spread throughout the large office.
After a long while, Qi Yu finally relaxed, leaning back in his chair, a faint sadness lingering around him.
Qi Yu said calmly, "This was Yu Ning's idea. She told me to keep it a secret and tell everyone three years later."
"Yu Ning found out too?" Gu Yizhi frowned, increasingly puzzled. "How could Yu Ning know? Did she find out three years ago? Or even earlier?"
Lan Qingyue is the same age as Yu Ning, and the two sisters look so alike. Most importantly, Yu Ning was only found and taken home by her father when she was five years old.
During those five years, the mother did not remarry and had no children.
Simply because she can no longer have children.
Qi Yu: "Three years ago."
Her thoughts drifted far away. The girl lying on the bed was pale, her face growing thinner, but her slender hands gripped his tightly as she spoke in a weak voice.
"Ayu, do you know that I am not as pure and innocent as you see me? My perfect appearance hides a sinful soul."
Qi Yu, sitting in front of the hospital bed, did not speak. He just quietly looked at Gu Yuning, whose eyes were filled with tears. His large hand tightly enveloped her soft, fair hand, and the warmth of his palm was continuously transmitted to her through her skin.
The emotions that had been brewing in Gu Yuning's eyes for a long time finally turned into tears that streamed down her cheeks. "Ayu, we have known each other since childhood and have been pampered by all the older brothers. Everyone gave me the gentlest love. But, but this gentleness should have been divided into two parts. I was fortunate enough to enjoy it all at once."
Gu Yuning spoke with great sorrow, her already pale face turning even paler, her thin body swaying precariously, and her frail figure faintly visible beneath her loose hospital gown.
Qi Yu suppressed all his sorrow, took Gu Yuning's hands in one hand, and gently put his arm around her arm to help her lie down. His voice was extremely gentle, "Yuning, you can't be so emotional. Tell me slowly, I'll stay with you."
Gu Yuning's eyes were quickly blurred with tears, her face streaked with sobs. But she couldn't bear to pull her hand away from the warmth, letting the tears flow freely. "Ayu, I... I know, I know you'll be with me, but... but I still feel terrible. I've kept a secret... hidden in my heart for over ten years, and only now do I realize how... selfish I am. Ayu... I feel terrible!"
