Chapter 189 A Completely Different Person
In the six years since he entered officialdom, apart from the people around him, even the servants in his mansion had never seen his face. How could a young girl who had just returned to the capital possibly know?
Even if they were in Yuzhou at that time... they wouldn't have recognized him.
"Brother Yun, have you been waiting long?"
While Yun Yichen was deep in thought, Gu Shuyan had already arrived at the foot of the bridge.
Upon seeing him, Gu Shuyan waved happily at him.
Today he was wearing a purple robe, and his hair was no longer styled high with a jade crown, but instead he wore a headband and hair ribbon.
The silver mask that had been placed on his face was nowhere to be found.
"I just arrived too."
Yun Yichen wondered if Gu Shuyan would recognize him, since he had changed his clothes today to avoid being recognized.
But Gu Shuyan still spotted him at a glance, without even showing any surprise. This little girl really knows how to surprise him.
"Brother Yun's outfit today makes him much more approachable!"
Gu Shuyan's eyes crinkled with a charming smile, and her deliberate dressing up today added to Yun Yichen's delight.
"Looks like you've had a good two months, and you've grown quite a bit taller."
Gu Shuyan was short because she was hungry when she was young. Now that she lives in the Yi'an Marquis's mansion, her life has improved, and she has grown taller like a radish being pulled up.
Back then, Gu Shuyan was so light that even if she clung to his leg, he could still lift her up.
Looking at her rosy cheeks now, she must have gained quite a bit of weight compared to before.
"It won't be long before I grow up to be as tall as Brother Yun's shoulder."
Gu Shuyan reached out and gestured on Yun Yichen's arm. Both of her brothers were quite tall, so she should be able to grow to be above Yun Yichen's shoulder!
In her previous life, Gu Shuyan's health was ruined by Li Yingxue after she returned, so even though she ate very well, she didn't grow much taller and was even more than half a head shorter than Li Yingxue.
"Come on, let me show you around."
As Yun Yichen spoke, he grabbed Gu Shuyan's hand, which was gesturing wildly, and walked forward with it in his hand.
Gu Shuyan never expected Yun Yichen to do such a thing. No matter how thick-skinned she had been before, she blushed unconsciously at this moment.
Yun Yichen naturally noticed Gu Shuyan's unease. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually quite flustered inside.
Especially her small hand in his large one was so soft and boneless that Yun Yichen dared not grip it too tightly, for fear of accidentally hurting her.
"Brother Yun!"
Gu Shuyan turned her head to look at Yun Yichen's profile and called out nervously.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Yichen's voice was deep and gentle, completely different from his usual decisive and resolute manner.
The man seemed to have deliberately become gentle today, and this gentleness was because he came to see her and spend the Qixi Festival with her.
Originally, Gu Shuyan wanted to ask Yun Yichen about his attitude towards her, whether it was sincere or just that being with her and marrying her would not do him any harm.
But at this moment, she suddenly didn't want to ask anymore. In any case, the fact that he was willing to care about her was enough for her.
After all, these things weren't part of her initial plan, and she's already quite content. It's always better not to be too greedy.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to eat wontons, the one from the place you met me at last time."
Gu Shuyan turned around and smiled, a smile that surpassed countless others in the mortal world.
