Chapter 320: I used to love you so much, but now I only hate you
Song Ruyan nodded as if she understood, but she understood the words "can't delay others".
She clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay! I'll go find him and explain it to him right away!"
After saying that, he hurried to find Doctor Qian.
Doctor Qian had not slept all night, and his eyes were haggard. When he saw Song Ruyan coming, he felt both expectant and nervous.
"Miss Song..."
Song Ruyan looked at him, mustered up the courage, and said what Chu Ruohan had taught her, adding her own understanding.
Doctor Qian listened quietly, and the expectation on his face dimmed little by little.
When he heard Song Ruyan say "I can't delay you", he smiled bitterly.
"Miss Song, I understand what you mean."
"If you don't mind that I'm more than ten years older than you, I will definitely treat you like a treasure and protect you for the rest of my life."
His voice was a little hoarse and bitter, "But since you don't mean to, I...I won't bother you again in the future."
When Song Ruyan saw that he understood, a huge weight of relief fell from her heart.
I've been holding it in all night, and finally I've made it clear!
She nodded with satisfaction, stretched herself and yawned: "Great! Then I'll go back to sleep!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away briskly, as if he had accomplished a huge task.
Only Doctor Qian was left standing there, looking at her receding figure with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
It turned out that it was just his wishful thinking.
On the other side, outside the military camp.
Du Ruoling was wearing an exquisite brocade dress, which seemed somewhat out of place with the serious environment around her.
She tidied up the loose hair at her temples, and her fingertips felt slightly cold.
Soon, a tall figure walked out of the camp.
Gu Cheng'an was dressed in military uniform, standing straight, his facial features tougher than before, with a bit of coldness tempered by the battlefield.
When he saw Du Ruoling, he paused for a moment, then continued to walk closer with no extra expression on his face.
"Meet the princess."
His voice was calm, with a formulaic detachment, and his eyes did not linger on her gorgeous clothes.
Du Ruoling's heart tightened, and she suppressed the discomfort and tried to force a gentle smile.
"Cheng'an, I..."
She took a step forward, her tone urgent.
"I came to you to tell you...we..."
Gu Cheng'an's eyes fell on the flag in the distance and he didn't look at her.
"If the princess has any instructions, just tell me directly."
This attitude of keeping people at a distance made the smile on Du Ruoling's face a little stiff.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Cheng'an, I know I was wrong in the past. I valued material possessions too much."
"But it's different now!"
Her voice rose a little, with an eagerness as if she were offering a treasure.
"I have money now! Lots and lots of money!"
"We don't have to worry about money anymore, you can..."
"That's enough."
Gu Cheng'an finally turned his head, his eyes fell coldly on her face, and interrupted her.
There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Princess, the past is over."
"I, Gu Cheng'an, am now just a warrior, who only knows how to guard the border and defend my country."
"As for the others, I don't dare to pursue them."
These words were like ice water, extinguishing all of Du Ruoling's enthusiasm and expectations.
Her face turned pale in an instant.
“No…that’s not the case!”
She shook her head in a panic.
"Cheng'an, can you give me another chance?"
"We can start over, just like before..."
The corner of Gu Chengan's mouth curled up into an almost imperceptible arc, but there was no smile in that arc, only cold indifference.
“There’s no going back.”
He uttered three words lightly, and each word was like a small hammer, hitting Du Ruoling's heart.
Seeing his stubborn attitude, Du Ruoling's panic was gradually replaced by a sharp suspicion.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Gu Chengan, do you have someone else?"
The question was asked quickly and urgently, with a hint of resentment that she herself was not aware of.
She stared at Gu Cheng'an, as if trying to find clues from his face.
"Did you meet him on the battlefield?"
"That kind of place is the easiest place to fall in love with someone over time!"
"Is there a woman who is considerate of you in every way, gentle and sensible, unlike me who is so..."
Her words became more and more rapid, with an almost hysterical speculation.
Gu Chengan's face darkened completely, and a chill gathered between his brows.
He suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"
The voice was not loud, but it made Du Ruoling's next words stuck in her throat.
"On the battlefield, there are hundreds of battles in the yellow sand."
"The only thing on the minds of the soldiers is to defend their country and die on the battlefield!"
His eyes were as sharp as a knife as he swept across Du Ruoling's face which was distorted with excitement.
"How can you slander and speculate like this?"
"There are only comrades who live and die together, without the dirty thoughts you imagine!"
Du Ruoling took a step back after being scolded by him, and the blood drained from her face.
She looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was extremely unfamiliar. His coldness and determination were something she had never seen before.
The disappointment in Gu Chengan's eyes almost overflowed.
He stopped looking at her, as if any more glances would be a waste.
“It’s totally unreasonable.”
He said this coldly without hesitation.
He swung his sleeves suddenly, creating a gust of wind.
He turned around and strode towards the military camp with a resolute look on his back, without any trace of nostalgia.
She stood there in a daze, watching the tall figure disappear behind the camp gate.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by something, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
The surrounding area was filled with solemn military camps, and the soldiers passing by kept their eyes straight ahead.
Only she stood there alone, like an abandoned doll.
A drop of cold liquid fell on the back of her hand, and she realized belatedly that she had been crying.
But what's the use?
He has left and never looked back.
What should she do to save Gu Chengan...
The night is gentle in the general's mansion.
Gu Junze walked over and gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Still reading? Be careful, you might hurt your eyes."
Chu Ruohan put down the book, turned around, and snuggled in his arms with a faint smile on her lips.
"I sleep more during the day, but I feel more energetic at night."
She took Gu Junze's hand, placed it on her belly, and whispered, "Junze, feel it."
Gu Junze was a little confused, and obediently placed his palm on her abdomen...
