Chapter 292 I Like You
Although the Gu family never harbored any rebellious intentions, given their power at the time, he was determined to make a member of the Gu family, and his daughter, empress.
The Gu family, already well-established, became even more difficult to control after having a daughter who became empress.
"Ha, so that's how it is. But even so, so what? Did you think I'd let you off the hook?"
Although she understood his behavior, Gu Shuyan would not forgive him for it.
The hatred of wiping out her clan and killing her son is irreconcilable; Gu Shuyan has returned to seek revenge.
"What do you mean, 'let you off the hook'? Shu'er, what are you talking about?"
Yun Yichen had actually woken up earlier, but seeing that Gu Shuyan was engrossed in reading, he didn't want to disturb her.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Shuyan said something completely nonsensical at the end, which made Yun Yichen's eyes narrow involuntarily.
Gu Shuyan was startled by Yun Yichen. She turned around and glanced at him before smiling and saying, "It's nothing, I just think this book is quite interesting."
As she spoke, Gu Shuyan put the book back and busied herself bringing over the ginseng soup she had prepared.
"Your health is weak now, so eat more nourishing soups so you can recover quickly."
Yun Yichen's situation is different from Gu Shuyan's. Gu Shuyan couldn't eat any nourishing foods because of her poor health, while Yun Yichen lost too much blood due to his injury, so he needed some nourishing foods to help him recover.
"Okay, but I want you to feed me."
Yun Yichen smiled, and Gu Shuyan was almost stunned.
Couldn't this man just hide his face? Now that he's injured, he's become so carefree that he doesn't even bother to cover himself with a mask in front of her.
Doesn't he know that his face might give people the wrong idea?
He coughed once, and Gu Shuyan spooned the soup to his lips. Only after he had eaten something else that night did Yun Yichen look at her seriously.
"Once I recover from my injuries, I will immediately go to the Marquis's residence to propose marriage."
Yun Yichen spoke with utmost seriousness, and Gu Shuyan nodded, "Is it because of the Fifth Prince?"
With the current fierce competition among powerful figures, the Marquis's mansion has become a coveted prize, and Gu Shuyan, as the young lady of the Marquis's mansion, has naturally become an object of contention for those people.
Gu Shuyan did not want to comment on this. In her previous life, she had been used and abandoned, but in this new life, she would never repeat the same mistake.
Seeing that Gu Shuyan's expression was not good, Yun Yichen immediately knew that she had misunderstood.
"I told you long ago that I would come to propose marriage, do you remember?"
Gu Shuyan nodded. "I know."
"No, you don't know. What I mean is that I, Yun Yichen, want to marry you because I like you, so I want to propose. My desire to marry you has nothing to do with the situation or anyone else. All I want is you."
Yun Yichen's expression was more resolute than ever before, and his dark eyes even held a hint of unprecedented fervor.
Gu Shuyan looked up and met his eyes, which seemed to burn with all their might.
For some reason, my heart skipped a beat, and for a moment I couldn't even speak.
Was Yun Yichen confessing his feelings to her? Did he say he liked her? Was it true?
Seeing that Gu Shuyan didn't move, Yun Yichen got a little angry. This woman had been pestering him every day from the beginning, and kept saying that she wanted to marry him. But when he confessed his feelings to her, she actually stared blankly at him.
The Grand Secretary had never encountered such a situation before, and immediately steeled his resolve, reaching out to pull Gu Shuyan back.
