Chapter 248 I am humbly asking for your love, can you lower your head and look at me?
Gu Chengyan walked slowly to the bedside, with a complicated light in his eyes.
"You finally woke up. I've been waiting for a long time."
Chu Ruohan stared at him warily, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
Gu Chengyan's behavior was too abnormal. This familiar look and this tone seemed as if there was an unknown past between them.
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
"You are also reborn." Chu Ruohan directly stated her guess with a firm and calm tone.
Gu Chengyan was slightly startled, then he laughed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I can't hide it from you. Yes, I've been reborn too."
He sat on a chair beside the bed, his eyes never leaving Chu Ruohan's face. "That day, Chu Nanxin suddenly attacked me. I hit my head, and when I woke up, I had memories of my past life."
Chu Ruohan sneered, and became even more alert.
She calmly observed her surroundings, looking for a possible escape route.
"So why did you kidnap me? Do you want to kill me? Or do you want to threaten Gu Junze?"
Gu Chengyan shook his head and reached out to touch Chu Ruohan's cheek, but she dodged him.
His hand froze in mid-air, and he finally withdrew it helplessly.
"I didn't kidnap you, I just took you away."
His voice was low and gentle, "In the previous life, you were Gu Cheng'an's widow, my sister-in-law, and I could only hide my feelings."
"But this life is different. The Anyang Marquisate has collapsed. I can tell you openly that I love you."
When Allen Chu heard this confession, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
"Love? You're not qualified to talk about love? How did I die in my last life? Have you forgotten? Or do you think I'm too gullible?"
Gu Chengyan's face turned pale, he stood up suddenly and paced around the room.
"I didn't do that. It was Lin Xingyao who kidnapped you and gave you to Wei Qiming in my name. By the time I arrived, it was too late."
Gu Chengyan's tone suddenly turned cold, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. "But sometimes, I send them all down to be buried with you."
Chu Ruohan looked at him coldly, without any emotion in her eyes.
"What about my parents, siblings, and grandparents? Do you want to say it has nothing to do with you?"
Gu Chengyan stopped and turned to face Chu Ruohan, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.
"It was them... Chu Chenyu knew what I was thinking and wanted to take you away. I absolutely could not allow that. They broke his legs, not his life. He was devastated and died tragically in the ruined temple."
When Chu Ruohan heard this answer, the anger in her heart almost consumed her.
Her brother, parents, just wanted to take her away, but they were killed...
Gu Chengyan, the murderer, acted as if it was a matter of course!
Chu Ruohan didn't think that Gu Chengyan loved her, it was just a crazy possessiveness.
All the suffering I endured in my previous life was caused by their family.
She only regretted that she had been too lenient and should have tortured them all to death!
"Gu Chengyan, you're ridiculous." Chu Ruohan said coldly, "You keep saying you love me, but you killed my whole family."
Gu Chengyan walked up to Chu Ruohan, knelt on one knee, his eyes full of pleading.
"Sister-in-law, in this life, you chose Gu Junze. I don't blame you. You have plotted to harm me time and time again, but I can pretend that nothing happened. Now let's start over..."
"Didn't you also destroy my family? My mother is suffering in the mental hospital. Is that a relief?"
"Let me spend the rest of my life atonement for my sins, okay? Then we'll call it even!" His voice grew lower and lower, as if even he himself felt that these words were somewhat pale and powerless.
Chu Ruohan narrowed her eyes, her thoughts racing.
Since Gu Chengyan was reborn, he knew that Marquis Anyang's plan would not succeed, so he did not participate in forcing the emperor to abdicate, but made plans early.
"Where is this?" Chu Ruohan suddenly asked, trying to get more information from him.
Gu Chengyan saw through her intention and sneered.
"A place where no one can find it."
Chu Ruohan's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that since she was not in the capital, the chance of Gu Junze finding her was very small. She had to find a way to save herself.
"You brought me here, aren't you afraid that Gu Junze will come looking for us?" Chu Ruohan asked tentatively.
Gu Chengyan stood up, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.
"He won't be able to find this place. This manor is hidden deep in the mountains, and my people are guarding it all around." He turned around, a hint of pride in his eyes. "Besides, the war between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Zheng State is imminent, and the emperor will not let Gu Junze leave the capital."
Chu Ruohan's heart tightened. Gu Chengyan really knew a lot of inside information.
"Do you think that if you lock me up here, I will compromise with you?"
Gu Chengyan walked back to the bed and leaned closer to Chu Ruohan, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Time will tell. You'll find out that I'm the one who truly loves you. We still have a long, long time to spend together."
Chu Ruohan sneered and said nothing more.
She needed time to think about how to get out, not to argue with this lunatic.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Chengyan stopped forcing her and turned to walk towards the door.
"Have a good rest. I'll have someone bring you food." He paused. "Don't even think about running away. I have people in every corner here."
After saying that, he left the room. The door was shut heavily, followed by the sound of it being locked.
Chu Ruohan finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and began to carefully observe the room where she was imprisoned.
The windows were sealed and the doors were locked, so it looked like there would be no escape any time soon.
She felt in her arms and found that Princess Anyang's belongings were still there, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least these things are still in her hands and have not fallen into Gu Chengyan's hands.
Chu Ruohan sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about countermeasures.
Since Gu Chengyan was reborn, and was reborn later than her, he must know everything about his previous life.
She must handle it carefully and not act rashly.
"Jun Ze, you must find me." Chu Ruohan whispered softly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
At the same time, in the capital, Gu Junze was leading the shadow guards to search for Chu Ruohan's whereabouts.
They searched every corner of the capital, but still could not find any trace of Chu Ruohan.
"Prince, I still have no clue." Ying Qing hurried over, his face full of anxiety and helplessness, his brows tightly furrowed.
"I've checked everywhere, but there's no news at all. It's as if the person disappeared into thin air."
Gu Junze's face was terribly gloomy and his eyes were bloodshot.
Hearing Ying Qing's words, his hands clenched unconsciously, and the joints on the back of his hands turned white due to the force.
"Keep looking!" Gu Junze spoke word by word, his voice so low and filled with endless chill.
He turned abruptly and strode towards the stable. He jumped on his horse and threw the reins. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves.
"Go outside the city..."
If you can’t find it in the capital, then look outside the city!
Han'er, you must wait for me...
