Chapter 388 Fortune Turns Around
Yun Yichen narrowed his eyes dangerously, but Gu Shuyan, seemingly unafraid of death, said, "Of course, otherwise who would want to date me?"
"So I was blind too?"
Yun Yichen's words carried a threat, and Gu Shuyan realized that her attempt to flatter him had backfired.
"No, no, no! How could Brother Yun be blind?" Gu Shuyan said with a forced smile.
Looking at her ingratiating smile, Yun Yichen's anger gradually turned into agitation.
"Miss Gu, please return. It's not advisable to move Xu Feng for the time being. I will allow him to return to the Marquis's residence once he recovers."
As Yun Yichen spoke, he turned to go back into the house. Gu Shuyan saw this and quickly went to pull him back, but unexpectedly, Yun Yichen shook her off.
Looking into Yun Yichen's unfathomable black eyes, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
"Yun Yichen, what exactly do you want from me?"
Gu Shuyan was truly furious. It wasn't like she would never tell him about Rui'er's affairs, so what was he being so stubborn about?
Besides, if he's allowed to keep things from me, why can't I keep things from her? What kind of logic is that?
Looking at Gu Shuyan's angry expression, Yun Yichen's face remained expressionless. "Miss Gu, what do you think I should do?"
"So, you insist on going to the Marquis's residence to break off the engagement just because of this?"
Thinking of what Yun Yichen said when he left yesterday, Gu Shuyan's heart was still aching as if it were being torn apart.
He could accept any anger from Yun Yichen, but marriage was a major event, and he couldn't just change his mind like that. Besides, after so much time together, he had long considered himself and Yun Yichen as one. Now, he wanted to break off the engagement over such a small matter. What did he take her for?
"You think this isn't big enough?"
Yun Yichen felt uneasy again. The thought that Gu Shuyan still had another man in her heart made his old vinegar in his house instantly turn upside down.
"I know it was wrong of me to keep this from you, but Rui'er, he's not what you think at all. And I already said I'd tell you about this later, can't you even wait a little while? Compared to all the things you've kept from me, isn't this going too far?"
Gu Shuyan stared blankly at Yun Yichen, a hint of hurt in her eyes.
She never expected that Yun Yichen would turn out like this because of Rui'er.
But Yun Yichen seemed not to have heard anything and turned around and went into the house.
"Yun Yichen!" Gu Shuyan shouted.
Yun Yichen paused, then turned around to look at him.
Gu Shuyan felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze; she felt as if she could hear her own heart breaking.
“Xu Feng can stay at the Yun residence. He was ordered to stay by my side, but now that you have made up your mind, he doesn’t need to come back.”
After saying this, Gu Shuyan turned and left the courtyard before Yun Yichen could react.
"Shushu." This time it was Yun Yichen's turn to call Gu Shuyan, but Gu Shuyan completely ignored him.
When Pearl saw Gu Shuyan stride out of the courtyard, she rushed forward to inquire about her young mistress's situation. However, upon seeing the anger in her young mistress's eyes, she could only silently follow her out of the Yun residence.
Yun Yichen belatedly realized what was happening and chased after Gu Shuyan from inside the house, but when he reached the courtyard gate, Gu Shuyan was nowhere to be seen.
"Master, Miss Gu has already left."
Zhong Lin knew his master well; his hurried rush out must have angered Miss Gu.
Thinking that it was his master who was angry yesterday, and now their roles have been reversed in the blink of an eye, Zhong Lin sighed silently.
What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
Just yesterday, my master was swaggering around saying he wouldn't let anyone in, but in less than half a moment, he chased after them and came out himself.
Seemingly understanding what Zhong Lin was thinking, Yun Yichen glanced at him and said, "Why does Shushu know that Xu Feng is one of my people? What else does she know?"
The two questions left Zhong Lin somewhat bewildered, and then, upon realizing what they were asking, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.
"What Master means is that Miss Gu knows that Master is..."
Before Zhong Lin could finish speaking, he received a cold look from Yun Yichen.
"Didn't you say that?"
In Yun Yichen's view, Gu Shuyan couldn't possibly know about that matter. His meticulously planned scheme over so many years had been so secretive that no one in the capital should know about his relationship with the Duke of Anguo's mansion. How could Gu Shuyan have known?
Could it be that Xu Feng told him? Yun Yichen had just made this guess in his mind when he immediately dismissed it.
Xu Feng had been by her side for many years, and he was the one who most opposed her getting involved with the Marquis's family. Therefore, he couldn't possibly tell Gu Shuyan about something so dangerous.
It seems that it is indeed time for him to sit down and have a proper talk with Gu Shuyan.
Thinking this, Yun Yichen stopped chasing after Gu Shuyan and instead went to the courtyard where Xu Feng was staying.
Upon entering Xu Feng's room, Yun Yichen immediately saw Mingyu wiping Xu Feng's face in front of the bed.
This girl is quite sincere towards Xu Feng. For example, after Xu Feng was injured yesterday, she actually stayed by his side all night without closing her eyes.
"Miss Mingyu, you should also go and rest. If you keep going like this, you'll collapse from exhaustion before Xu Feng recovers!"
Zhong Lin stepped forward to comfort Mingyu, but Mingyu turned around, shook her head, and continued what she was doing.
"Mingyu, you can go now. Come back later. I need to speak with Lord Yun for a few minutes first."
Xu Feng knew that Mingyu had stayed by his side all night, and he had tried to persuade her to go and rest, but Mingyu insisted on taking care of him.
Mingyu glanced back at Yun Yichen, then nodded and walked out.
Zhong Lin slowly closed the door from the outside. Yun Yichen looked again, and Xu Feng asked, "Does Shushu know my identity?"
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he hurriedly tried to get up to report, but Yun Yichen stopped him first, saying, "Just say it directly. You can't get out of bed right now, and you can't move around too much."
Seeing this, Xu Feng nodded and honestly replied, "Although Miss has never explicitly told me, I can sense that Miss has known the truth from beginning to end."
"Just as I thought!"
Xu Feng followed Gu Shuyan around every day. Since he said that Shuyan knew the truth, then she must really know it.
"Has Miss confronted you about this? What should we do then?"
Looking into Yun Yichen's eyes, Xu Feng felt very uneasy.
