Wei Min silently repeated Gu Yun's words in her heart, feeling bitter. Perhaps she was nothing more than a nobody to Gu Yun, but he was in her heart with great joy. She hid in the corner and secretly watched him for a long time. However, no matter how much she desired him, she could not have him. Only when she stood behind him could she look at him openly.
"Gu Yun." Wei Min took a deep breath and looked up at him. This was the first time she called his name like this, but no one knew that these two words had already rolled around in her throat and tongue countless times.
"My mother went to the Annan Marquis Mansion during the Lantern Festival. Did you know that?" Wei Min looked at him straight, wanting to get to the bottom of it stubbornly.
Even if there is a slight possibility, as long as Gu Yun gives her a little response, even if it is like a moth flying into a flame, even if it is a bottomless abyss, she can jump down and walk towards him bravely.
Gu Yun felt that Wei Min's eyes looked at him with burning warmth, as if hiding emotions that he couldn't understand. He shook his head and asked, "Mrs. Wei, is there something going on at Annan Marquis's Mansion?"
During the Lantern Festival, he was still under house arrest by the emperor. He was bored all day and didn't remember what happened...
Gu Yun suddenly remembered that his mother seemed to have mentioned to him in his courtyard that a lady from a certain family had come to the house and had expressed the intention of getting married.
His mind was completely focused on Yu Jiao, so he didn't listen carefully and asked his mother to send the person away. He also said that he would decide his own marriage and that he already had someone he liked.
His mother knew that he liked Yu Jiao, so she just smiled and told him to spend more time and effort to make the girl fall in love with him as soon as possible so that she could welcome him as her daughter-in-law. Then she went to reject the offer.
Gu Yun broke the willow branches with his fingers, thinking uncomfortably, could it be that the one who came to discuss marriage is Mrs. Wei?
"My mother went there for my marriage." Wei Min closed her eyes. She thought it would be hard to say such words, but when she actually said it, it didn't seem that hard. It was just a matter of letting go of her so-called self-esteem and pride.
Gu Yun's fingers that were pinching the willow branch stiffened slightly, and the willow branch fell directly from between his fingers to the ground. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Wei Min looked at him quietly. The warm breeze of late spring blew across the weeping willows above their heads. The branches swayed gently, and light and shadows from the gaps between the branches and leaves fell on the two of them.
Surrounded by such light and shadow, Wei Min felt as if she was really close to Gu Yun.
At least at this moment, their shadows are close.
It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed like a long time had passed. Wei Min's eyes were slightly red. She tried to force a smile and took the initiative to say again, "I know you have someone in your heart. She is to you just like you are to me. I just want to ask you, how long will you continue to like her? If one day, she gets married, will you never marry again? Or are you willing to marry someone else?"
If it is one year, three years, or five years, she is willing to wait for that day.
Gu Yun was a little shocked after hearing her words. He never thought that Wei Min would like her, and Wei Min's performance was too serious, as if she had liked him for a long time.
Gu Yun's emotions were complicated for a moment, probably because he had been rejected by Yu Jiao some time ago, and he had just experienced the pain and despair after being rejected by the person he loved.
He looked at Wei Min and tried hard to think of some gentle words of refusal in his mind.
Finally, Gu Yun said seriously and sincerely, "I don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe I will always like her, or maybe one day I won't like her anymore. But today, I just want to treat her well, and I just want to marry her and grow old with her."
His response was sincere. Although his words were blunt, Gu Yun felt that he should make it clear to Wei Min that if he didn't like her, he didn't like her, and if he liked her, he liked her. He shouldn't waste the girl's time.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly understood why Yu Jiao had spoken to him so directly, without even leaving him any room for possibility.
