As Gu Chen approached, he unabashedly reached out and ruffled Ye Ruan's hair. "Are you settling in well here? If not, we'll head back now."
Ye Ruan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
He meant they should go back first, not that she should go back alone.
But didn't he just arrive?
Gu Chen noticed her confusion, gently flicked the tip of her small nose, took her hand and said, "I only agreed to show my face at the banquet, and now I have."
If you don't like it here, I'll come back with you.
Ye Ruan's mind raced. If she went back with Gu Chen, she would have even less chance to complete her mission at the ancestral hall.
But she couldn't possibly tell Gu Chen that she actually quite liked the banquet.
What reason would she need to stay?
"Gu Chen, come here, let me introduce you to some of the old patriarchs who have been on good terms with our Gu family for generations." Gu Changxuan greeted Gu Chen with a smile, looking every bit the kind elder.
Gu Chen frowned slightly.
Ye Ruan leaned closer to him and said in a low voice, "Gu Chen, you should deal with this first. It wouldn't be good if you clashed with the clan leader in this kind of situation. I'll wait for you here."
Gu Chen gave her a deep look.
Seeing this, she felt a little guilty, and Gu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right back. You wait for me here."
After Gu Chen walked towards Gu Changxuan, Ye Ruan turned around and asked Gu Qing, "Excuse me, where is the restroom here?"
Gu Qing pointed out the location to Ye Ruan, and after thanking Gu Qing, Ye Ruan walked towards the restroom.
Gu Chen caught a glimpse of Ye Ruan's retreating figure, took out his phone, and typed a message to Qiu Shun: "Wait outside the lobby. If Ruan Ruan goes out, take her wherever she wants to go!"
Given the girl's personality, the reason she would persuade him to stay is definitely not because she feels it's bad to offend Gu Changxuan; it can only be because she still has things she wants to do.
What exactly does the organization behind her want to do with her?
After entering the restroom, Ye Ruan washed her hands while observing the surroundings using the mirror.
The restroom was located at the end of the corridor. Exiting the restroom, one side led to the banquet hall, and the other side led to the landscaped garden attached to this small courtyard. Passing through a hanging flower gate, the small garden led to the large garden that Gu Chen had led her through yesterday when they first arrived.
The entire landscape design of that large garden follows the principles of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams.
However, to get to the ancestral hall in the southwest corner, she had to pass through the large garden, which was unavoidable.
Or rather, all the courtyards in this house are arranged in a staggered manner. To get from one courtyard to another, you have to pass through the large garden outside. This should also be one of the most important defensive measures of the old house.
After coming out of the restroom, Ye Ruan glanced in the direction of the lobby and walked straight towards the small garden.
Right now, Gu Chen, the Gu family patriarch, and the heads and managers of several other visiting families have just arrived in the hall, and everyone is gathered there.
There was no one in the garden.
Ye Ruan walked out of the small garden with ease.
After passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the large garden outside, Ye Ruan's cold gaze swept over the artificial hills and pavilions in the garden.
At first glance, this garden is not much different from any other classical Chinese garden, but upon closer inspection, one will find that even the location of a single tree is full of hidden secrets.
Ye Ruan frowned, just about to lift her foot to try it out.
Voices came from behind and beside me at the same time, "Where do you want to go?"
