Just as Ye Ruan was wondering what was going on, she felt Gu Chen's large hand cover hers, and she could clearly feel that Gu Chen's hand was slightly cold.
She turned to look at Gu Chen's exquisite face and noticed that Gu Chen's expression was tense.
The words she hadn't said before slipped out: "Gu Chen, we're not going to your old house."
After she finished speaking, she added, "I don't want to go anymore, I want to go back to the capital!"
Gu Chen relaxed his expression, stretched out his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles, and gently pinched her cheek. "I want to take you to see him."
Gu Chen's magnetic voice made Ye Ruan's heart skip a beat. Before, she would sometimes think that Gu Chen was using her as a substitute for Su Ruanruan. But at this moment, all she saw in Gu Chen's deep eyes was her.
She was certain that Gu Chen's heart belonged to her, and that he wasn't using her as a substitute!
At the same time, however, guilt consumed her entire heart.
For the first time in so many years, she regretted joining the organization with her brother. If only she had listened to him and not joined with him.
Then she can be as honest with Gu Chen as Gu Chen was with her.
The location of the Gu family's old house was even more remote than Ye Ruan had imagined.
Qiu Shun drove all the way to the easternmost mountainous area of Chongqing, and the car then wound its way up the mountain road.
It wasn't until we were almost at the top of the mountain that we saw the ancient-style eaves and corners of houses peeking out from the dense forest. The red walls and golden tiles stretching for ten miles were hidden among the green forest, and the visual impact was already enough to be breathtaking.
Even though she already knew that the mysterious Gu family mansion was not simple, Ye Ruan was still indescribably shocked when she saw this mansion, which was comparable to a royal palace.
Gu Chen got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Ruan. He held Ye Ruan's small hand tightly in his large hand and led her out of the car.
After Ye Ruan got out of the car, she realized that although it was broad daylight, the place was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, and not a sound of human voices could be heard.
She followed Gu Chen's footsteps to the imposing vermilion gate of the mansion.
While waiting with Gu Chen for Qiu Shun to open the door, Gu Chen whispered in her ear, "I lived here until I was eight years old?"
Ye Ruan asked instinctively, "What about after eight years old?"
After asking, she realized that she already knew.
When Gu Chen was eight years old, he was the only one in his family to survive the car accident. After that, at the young age of eight, he quickly and ruthlessly dealt with the collateral relatives who wanted to seize the family property.
It is said that Su Yiqing helped him a lot during this process.
After stabilizing the Gu family, he immediately moved next door to the Su family, and for many years thereafter, he moved wherever the Su family moved.
Before Gu Chen could answer, Qiu Shun had already pushed open the heavy vermilion door.
Ye Ruan unconsciously tensed up, took Gu Chen's hand in return, and asked somewhat nervously, "Gu Chen, are there any other people in your family?"
Gu Chen raised his hand and ruffled her hair, signaling her to relax. "My parents and grandparents are all gone, but there are indeed some people living in this old house. You don't need to worry about them."
If you want to see them, we'll go see them; if you don't want to see them, then we won't!
In fact, Ye Ruan had already thought of this answer. The Gu family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the old house is so big that even if the family is not very prosperous, it is not just Gu Chen and his family.
It now seems that the only Gu family members that the family has made public are Gu Chen's family.
Ye Ruan looked at Gu Chen with her beautiful eyes, nodded, and followed Gu Chen into the old house.
After entering the gate, Gu Chen held her hand a little tighter. "Ruan Ruan, follow my footsteps. This old house is quite old. When it was built, some formations were set up. People who don't know about it can easily get lost."
When Ye Ruan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. That's why her brother insisted on her coming and even brought her that thing, just to find out how to get into the Gu family's old house.
Isn't the organization's goal to overthrow the Gu family, or to find something within the Gu family?
