Chapter 63: No, weren’t the ancients very reserved?
Ran Qingxuan's response seemed to give him great encouragement, and Gu Yanchen's eyes instantly became as bright as stars.
The atmosphere began to become subtle, and feeling that the person opposite was slowly approaching him, Ran Qingxuan subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.
Gu Yanchen controlled his strength so as not to hurt her like last time, nor to let her escape easily.
"Let me go first!"
"I'm afraid if I let go, I won't be able to hold on anymore!"
After a while of reflection, she finally realized that Gu Yanchen's words seemed to be a subtle confession...
Her old face turned red, Ran Qingxuan knew that she had said a lot of dirty words in her two lifetimes, but this was the first time she had experienced such a subtle and heart-touching way of expressing love.
If the darkness had not enveloped the two of them, making it impossible for them to see each other clearly, Ran Qingxuan would have definitely found a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Although Gu Yanchen sounded serious when he spoke, it was actually the first time he was so straightforward with a woman!
Unable to see Ran Qingxuan's expression, Gu Yanchen was nervous and thought that he had not expressed himself directly enough.
Slowly approaching, Gu Yanchen said very solemnly.
"I want to be the most important person in your life, not as a relative, not in terms of commitment, but as a husband, walking with you!"
Without waiting for Ran Qingxuan to react, Gu Yanchen continued.
"I love you. I want you to be by my side more than all the wealth and power!"
With a loud 'boom', his brain exploded instantly, and Ran Qingxuan could hardly keep up with Gu Yanchen's pace.
Only now did she realize that the ancients were not human when they were reserved, and even less human when they expressed their feelings...
Isn't it time to express love in a subtle way?
Weren’t the ancients very thin-skinned?
My dear brother...No...
I didn't say I like you...
Gu Yanchen's intentions were too straightforward, and Ran Qingxuan stood there in a daze, not knowing whether he should or how to respond.
And she didn't seem to say anything, why did Gu Yanchen suddenly become like this...
Ran Qingxuan carefully recalled what happened after he climbed into the car, and found that it seemed that the strength of his handshake just now caused him to misunderstand.
After all, she thought that Gu Yanchen held her hand tightly because he had made up his mind to divorce her after arriving in the northwest.
But I never expected that this guy was determined to confess his feelings to me...
"Depend on..."
Gu Yanchen waited for a long time and finally got a call. He was very confused.
"Rely? Do you mean rely on? I know I can't give you anything right now, but if I say I can be your support in the future, you have no doubt about that. I will definitely not let you down!"
Ran Qingxuan was so frightened that he opened his mouth wide to express his shock. The more he talked, the more unclear it became!
"No, no, no, let's not talk about whether you can be trusted or not. It's just that... can you give me some time to think about it?"
While Gu Yanchen didn't respond, Ran Qingxuan jumped out of the carriage as if escaping, leaving the people in the carriage sitting there in shock.
After a long time, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he had overestimated himself.
"Yes, considering my current miserable state, how can I ask for such a strange woman to accompany me? It's ridiculous, it's just wishful thinking!"
Gu Yanchen was not the kind of person who would complain too much about himself, but in this situation, he couldn't help but ask himself, if he was still the King of Chen, still holding the military power, still the great hero admired by everyone...
Then maybe Ran Qingxuan will agree immediately?
Holding the pocket watch given to him by Ran Qingxuan, Gu Yanchen quietly listened to the passage of time.
Since Chen's daughter-in-law, Sun Qiulan, was having trouble walking at night with her child in her arms, Mrs. Gu wanted to give her her seat.
The Chen family knew that they had received many favors from Ran Qingxuan along the way, which they could not repay. It was even more impossible for them to see Old Madam Gu giving up her seat to a youngster at her age, so they all politely declined the Gu family's kindness.
But Sun Qiulan was too thin, hadn't rested for a long time and was still breastfeeding. Less than an hour after the team set out, she suddenly fainted.
Fortunately, the child was held by Chen Zhao and did not fall, but after Sun Qiulan was helped up, her whole body was limp and she was unable to move forward.
Chen Zhao tried several times to carry the child but failed. Chen's father was Sun's father-in-law and could only stand aside and worry, unable to provide any help.
Chen's mother Zou Yu felt even more helpless as she carried Chen Yue'er, who had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, on her back.
After seeing this, Ran Qingxuan wanted to help hold the child so that Chen Zhao could have time to carry the person.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhenghong was at an age where he could no longer live without his mother. After feeling the breath of a stranger, he couldn't stop crying.
The officers were already annoyed because they had to travel all night, and the noisy noises from the Chen family's team continued to irritate them, and soon someone came forward and scolded them.
If it weren't for Ran Qingxuan's protection, the whip in the officer's hand would have fallen long ago.
Now the Chen family couldn’t even refuse and could only accept Madam Gu’s kindness.
Sun Qiulan was too weak to hold the child, so Ran Qingxuan tied the child to her body with a wide piece of cloth, just like the women in the peacekeeping areas in his previous life.
After thanking Madam Gu and Ran Qingxuan weakly, Sun Qiulan slumped down in the donkey cart shed and quietly wiped away her tears.
The team continued to move forward for another half hour, and finally entered the town at the foot of Xiaowei Mountain.
Bu Wei knew that they had missed the time to enter the city, and he also knew that even if they reached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city would not open the gate for a group of prisoners.
This was not the first time they had encountered such a situation, so they decided to set up camp on the spot and rest temporarily in a small woods five or six miles away from Xiaoweishan town.
When the prisoners saw the officers stop, they collapsed to the ground like deflated balloons. Each of them lay down in the same position they fell asleep in.
In less than a few minutes, snoring sounds were heard from the prisoner team. Ran Qingxuan helped the somewhat exhausted Madam Gu to sit down, picked up the water bag and poured her a bowl of water.
But Madam Gu didn't even have the strength to raise her hand. Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan considerately brought water to her mouth.
Old Madam Gu was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to speak. After drinking a full bowl of water, she nodded towards Ran Qingxuan with emotion.
After distributing the water, Ran Qingxuan did not give water to Gu Yanchen immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness of the night and silently drew water from the space and poured it into the water bag.
Not long after this action was completed, the sound of people looking for water was heard from the team of officials.
Ran Qingxuan stood up silently and deliberately added water to the Gu family when the officials could see.
When one of the officers saw this, he walked up and snatched the water bag from her hand without saying a word, shook it casually, and looked at Ran Qingxuan with disdain in his eyes.
"Your family is the most comfortable in the entire team. Since the boss has given you permission to purchase supplies, I'm sure you won't appreciate this little bit of money. Why don't you..."
"Your Excellency is right. My family has already drunk it. If you don't mind, you can take it away."
Ran Qingxuan tried his best to show a reluctant and bitter expression. Seeing this, the officer sneered and returned to the front of the team with the water bag.
