Chapter 191 Praying for Blessings
"I didn't expect Brother Yun to be such a popular person."
Gu Shuyan's words seemed to be both an exclamation and an unexpected remark.
The closer you get to this man, the more you realize that he is actually very lonely inside. It's like someone who has been silent for a very, very long time, so long that he himself has forgotten that he still has emotions.
At the same time, he is also the person who craves care the most, and because of this craving, he is afraid of anyone getting close to him.
"Did you think I was nobody?"
Yun Yichen didn't expect Gu Shuyan to say such a thing. Perhaps he had indeed lived a life that was not quite human all these years. Just as outsiders had said, he was a Yama with a ghost face, a Yama without joy or sorrow.
Similarly, he is also a ruthless and deadly figure.
As if thinking of something, Yun Yichen's unusually gentle demeanor suddenly turned into a chilling aura, causing Gu Shuyan, who was standing beside him, to shiver involuntarily.
"Brother Yun".
Noticing Yun Yichen's change, Gu Shuyan quickly reached out and placed her hand on Yun Yichen's, looking at him with a worried expression.
The warmth spread throughout his body through his palms, and Yun Yichen's cold and sharp eyes gradually softened, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing considerably.
"Silly girl."
Yun Yichen whispered something to himself, then gripped Gu Shuyan's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, revealing the man's stunningly handsome profile. The soft moonlight shone on his face, as if draping him in a veil, enveloping his very soul.
But the more this is the case, the more heartbreaking it is to see this man.
"Master, it's ready."
Zhong Lin had no intention of disturbing their peaceful time, but it was getting late, and if he didn't speak up soon, Miss Gu might have to go home.
What should we prepare?
Before Yun Yichen could speak, Gu Shuyan asked first.
However, Yun Yichen didn't explain anything to her at all. He wrapped his arms around her waist again and carried her directly across the rooftops.
Afraid of falling, Gu Shuyan clung tightly to Yun Yichen. When they finally landed, Gu Shuyan's legs were weak.
"This is the lakeside!"
Looking at the lanterns floating on the lake, Gu Shuyan turned to look at Yun Yichen. This man was truly unassuming. Despite being a civil official, he had such excellent lightness skills.
"These are the lanterns I prepared for you. You can make a wish upon them."
Yun Yichen had someone buy a hundred lanterns early in the morning, originally intending to bring Gu Shuyan at the last minute, but unexpectedly, Gu Yingjie beat him to it.
So, the Grand Secretary was displeased and ordered all the lanterns to be released.
Gu Shuyan stepped forward and took a cup. Looking at her own name on it, she was both amused and exasperated.
"Releasing lanterns to pray for blessings is a token of my heart, but you've written my name on them all, it's really..."
Gu Shuyan didn't say anything because she saw Yun Yichen's eyes dim, and unconsciously stopped herself from saying what she was about to say.
"I really like these lanterns."
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan turned around and put the lantern in her hand into the river, then made a sincere wish upon the lantern.
My wish is for my family to enjoy happiness, longevity, and good health.
My second wish is that Brother Yun enjoys a fulfilling life and a long and successful career.
My third wish is that Rui'er will have good parents and many children and grandchildren in her next life.
As the lanterns slowly floated away, Gu Shuyan felt a heavy weight lift from her heart.
Her thoughts were filled with reluctance, yet also with countless hopes.
When she turned back, all that remained in Gu Shuyan's eyes was relief and happiness.
