Chapter 272 What Am I?
"What am I to you? What am I, Gu Shuyan, really to you?"
Tears streamed down Gu Shuyan's cheeks, but her voice remained completely normal, except for her questioning tone.
"Perhaps I really shouldn't have dragged the Marquis's mansion into this. Don't worry, I will keep the Marquis's mansion safe."
Yun Yichen had his back to Gu Shuyan, so no one could see the expression on his face. Even fewer knew what he was thinking.
Gu Shuyan did not answer. Yun Yichen paused but did not turn around to look at her. Instead, he took out the tattered amulet from his pocket, placed it on the table, and turned to leave the room.
A cold wind swept in, and the door was quickly closed again. Gu Shuyan could no longer hold back her emotions and burst into tears.
In the end, her sincere heart was misplaced!
Gu Shuyan wanted to slap herself to wake herself up completely. Despite having been betrayed once, she still gave away her true feelings.
How incredibly stupid must she be to be so forgetful?
Gu Shuyan was furious at herself for being so useless, and she cried her eyes out.
Suddenly, a hand covered her back and patted her gently.
Gu Shuyan looked up and saw that familiar face again. His eyes were filled with heartache, and even in the dimly lit room, Gu Shuyan recognized him at a glance.
"Silly girl, what am I supposed to do?"
The extremely gentle voice caused Gu Shuyan's tears, which she had just stopped flowing, to burst forth again.
This time, she took the initiative and hugged Yun Yichen's waist, wiping her snot and tears all over him, while Yun Yichen simply comforted her gently from beginning to end.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shuyan finally cried herself to sleep, and Yun Yichen then took a handkerchief from the side and wiped her face.
"You're tired of crying, aren't you, you little crybaby?"
Yun Yichen affectionately ruffled her hair. Gu Shuyan's hair, which was not tied up, was very soft and comfortable, and Yun Yichen was reluctant to pull his hand away.
"Who's the crybaby? I don't even know whose fault it is."
Gu Shuyan had always been the one chasing after him, but now that the girl was throwing a tantrum, she seemed even more adorably arrogant.
"Yes, yes, Shushu isn't a crybaby. It's all my fault for making Shushu angry, that's why she's crying!"
The usually wise and mighty King Yama was defeated by a crying girl.
The guards at the door, who heard the commotion, clicked their tongues in amazement. Was the sun about to rise in the west?
The two people inside the room were naturally unaware of the guard's thoughts. Seeing Yun Yichen suddenly become gentle, Gu Shuyan suddenly felt better.
"Brother Yun, why are you so gentle with me?"
Gu Shuyan sweetly called out "Brother Yun" again, completely forgetting that when she was crying, she had mentally cursed Yun Yichen's entire family.
Seeing the little girl stop crying and start laughing, Yun Yichen silently pondered the girl's change in attitude, but in the end, he still couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
"Shushu is my fiancée. If I'm not gentle with you, who will I be gentle with? Doesn't Shushu like it when I'm gentle with you?"
Yun Yichen stared at Gu Shuyan with a serious expression, but his bewildered look immediately angered Gu Shuyan.
As expected of the Ghost-Faced Yama, he really went to the extreme. Shouldn't he be using all sorts of sweet words and honeyed phrases at this moment to fit the situation?
She had clearly overestimated him!
Gu Shuyan shook her head, not wanting to talk to this unrefined man anymore, but Yun Yichen wasn't about to let her off so easily.
