If he had known back then that his younger brother and Miss Yan had some feelings for each other and that he was bothered by the issue of their birth dates, he would have denied it at the time.
The next day, Gu Hanxin personally escorted his elder brother down the mountain. On their way back up the mountain, they happened to meet Yan Ruyu.
She gazed at him with her bright, sparkling eyes.
It's very different from what it used to be.
This glance made Gu Hanxin's eyes widen in surprise.
He cleared his throat and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Anyone who didn't know better would think the woman was flirting with him.
Yan Ruyu clutched the corner of her robe, extremely conflicted.
She pursed her lips gently, and after a long while, she whispered, "I have something to tell you..."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to scold herself.
What's with the coyness?
What's there to be afraid of? Just go for it!
Gu Hanxin was very perceptive and had already noticed her reaction.
"Why are you being so strange? What are you saying to me?"
Yan Ruyu looked around nervously and suspiciously before cautiously approaching him and saying, "Let's find a secluded place to talk."
People were coming and going, and she simply didn't have the courage to say it.
and……
If she were rejected or looked down upon, wouldn't she be extremely embarrassed?
Although Gu Hanxin had questions in her heart, she still let her lead her elsewhere.
Looking at the slender fingers that landed on his gray sleeve, his heart skipped a beat.
This sudden surge of emotion was something he couldn't quite handle.
This fluttering feeling was both unfamiliar and delightful.
Yan Ruyu pulled him to a corner, and after making sure no one was around, she pursed her lips and said, "I've heard it from your brother. I know. You are my destined match."
Gu Hanxin: ? ? ?
His sudden remark was as if something had exploded in his mind.
“You were born at noon, and your elder brother has explained it to me. Since that's the case, why should we go to such lengths? We…”
As soon as Yan Ruyu finished speaking, her sleeve was empty.
He actually forced his sleeve back.
Her eyes darkened slightly, but then she realized he must be thinking about the proper distance between men and women, and she shouldn't overthink it.
"You only want to be with me... because of this?"
Gu Hanxin's face was filled with disappointment.
He doesn't really have a feeling about when he was born.
All he wanted was for her to be truly with him.
Even if it's not because we're a good match... I'd still be willing to be together.
Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected him to be so emotional, suddenly becoming unhappy and looking so pale and gloomy.
"I...you didn't mean that, I just felt..."
"Okay, I understand. Let me think about it."
Yan Ruyu: ? ? ?
Oh no...
It feels like things have completely spiraled out of her imagination and control.
I used to think I was being coy, but now I realize that it was Gu Hanxin who was being coy.
Why is a grown man acting so coy?
That infuriated her!
"Gu Hanxin! I... am telling you all this simply because I love you. And although I was married to Prince Yu before, our marriage was in name only; I am a virgin!"
She thought it best to explain things as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
But now, looking at Gu Hanxin, his expression seems even more unpleasant.
