Chapter 441 Covert Clash
It's not surprising that Yun Yichen didn't take it seriously. After all, he didn't even care about the Sun family, so how could he possibly be interested in their medicine?
Sun Ruoyun coughed awkwardly, "Although the medicine isn't very good, it's still better to apply some. Otherwise, it would be Ruoyun's fault if it gets worse."
"I said no need." Yun Yichen's expression was very cold, especially his gaze towards Sun Ruoyun, as if he were looking at something extremely disgusting.
It's not that Yun Yichen dislikes her; the thought of her attacking Gu Shuyan makes him feel uncomfortable. Plus, he's always been cold and aloof to people, so Sun Ruoyun doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Miss?" The maid glanced at Sun Ruoyun. Although Yun Yichen's words did not carry a threat, her feet still froze, unable to move.
"If Lord Yun says it's not necessary, then it's not necessary."
As Sun Ruoyun spoke, she gave the maid a wink. She hadn't really intended to fetch medicine for Gu Shuyan; the reason she asked the maid to leave was simply to have her deliver a message.
Faced with Yun Yichen's resolute demeanor, Sun Ruoyun, though anxious, could no longer let the maid leave. If the other party discovered anything amiss, it would be a great loss.
"Yes, Miss."
Having received Sun Ruojun's order, the maidservant slowly walked to the side.
"Miss Sun, I'm sorry, but Brother Yun has always been like this. When he gets stubborn, there's nothing I can do."
Gu Shuyan remained silent until she saw the maidservant obediently step back, at which point she took the opportunity to smooth things over.
"I have heard my father mention the Grand Secretary's reputation before."
Sun Ruoyun maintained a gentle smile, as if nothing could stir her emotions. But the more she acted this way, the more pleased Gu Shuyan felt.
In fact, she and Sun Ruoyun have somewhat similar personalities, so looking at Sun Ruoyun like this, Gu Shuyan guessed that she must be anxious.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber, and none of the three spoke, though their minds were already engaged in countless silent battles.
"Miss, the dishes are ready."
A young maidservant slowly walked over from a distance and bowed to the three of them, finally breaking the strange atmosphere that had been building up for the past few days.
"Okay, I understand." After the maid left, Sun Ruoyun turned to Yun Yichen and Gu Shuyan, "Lord Yun, Miss Gu, please!"
Since it was a spring outing, a picnic was a must, and it was indeed time to eat, so the three of them stood up.
"Don't move." Gu Shuyan was about to walk forward when Yun Yichen quickly called out to her from the side.
"I can walk." In front of so many people, Gu Shuyan felt it was a bit pretentious to have Yun Yichen carry her anymore. At least she felt a little embarrassed.
But Gu Shuyan gave in after Yun Yichen merely glanced at her. She saw the meaning in his eyes: "If you won't let me carry you, I'll just hug you."
Rather than carrying her horizontally, Gu Shuyan thought it was better to carry her on her back, at least that way she could save face a little.
So Gu Shuyan was carried forward by Yun Yichen again, with Sun Ruoyun following behind. Looking at Gu Shuyan clinging to Yun Yichen's back, Sun Ruoyun felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
Having lived in the capital for over a decade, Sun Ruoyun considered herself to know quite a bit about these high-ranking officials and nobles. But after seeing Yun Yichen like this today, Sun Ruoyun suddenly believed in a saying: there are indeed people in this world who will do everything in their power to love you.
At this moment, Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen were nothing special in their own eyes, but in the eyes of Sun Ruoyun, who had learned to manipulate power since childhood, they were simply unattainable beings.
There was a time when she also longed to meet someone who would have her in their heart and eyes.
But as time went by and she became accustomed to the filth in people's hearts, she no longer believed in true love.
Witnessing Yun Yichen's tender care for Gu Shuyan, Sun Ruoyun felt an unprecedented loathing for someone. If before she only disliked Gu Shuyan because she was someone he valued and liked, now Sun Ruoyun harbored an inexplicable hatred for Gu Shuyan.
"Slower!"
Yun Yichen helped Gu Shuyan sit down before turning to look at Sun Ruoyun.
"Did Miss Sun bring a small table with her?"
Yun Yichen took the initiative to speak to Sun Ruoyun, who was almost caught off guard.
"Yes, but I don't know if a small table would be suitable?" Sun Ruoyun said, and seeing Yun Yichen nod, she quickly had a small table brought over.
The small table was originally meant for holding ingredients, but now that everything was cooking in the pot, the small pot naturally popped out.
"Brother Yun, what are you doing?"
Gu Shuyan watched as Yun Yichen placed the table directly in front of her, and for a moment she didn't understand what Yun Yichen meant.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yun Yichen placed the two bowls on the small table before taking the rice spoon from the maid and serving rice to Gu Shuyan.
“This bowl is too hot to handle. Since you have difficulty moving around, I’ll put it on this small table. It’s just right for you to eat like this.”
Yun Yichen didn't care about other people's gazes at all. While talking, he was also putting food into another small bowl, without even looking at whether Sun Ruoyun had sat down after falling to the ground.
Everyone stared blankly at Yun Yichen's actions.
Legend has it that the Grand Secretary is a homosexual, and even more so, an extremely cold-hearted person. But what did they see? Yun Yichen actually considered things so thoroughly for one person?
Everyone looked at Gu Shuyan with envy, their eyes shining. Who said the Prime Minister was an annoying, ruthless devil? He's clearly a doting husband!
They're not even married yet, and they're already spoiling Miss Gu like this. How much more will they spoil her after they get married?
"Cough cough."
Upon seeing this, Sun Ruoyun coughed, and the dazed maidservant finally reacted and hurriedly served Sun Ruoyun rice as well.
Under Yun Yichen's "care," Gu Shuyan finished most of her meal. Just then, a group of people hurried over from a distance.
"younger sister!"
As soon as Sun Linrui arrived, he shouted at Sun Ruoyun. Just as he was about to speak to her, he saw Gu Shuyan and Yun Yichen sitting to the side.
Although Sun Linrui is now in the Imperial Guard, because he is a military man, he cannot control his facial expressions as well as Sun Ruoyun.
Upon seeing the two of them, Sun Linrui almost blurted out, "Why is Gu Shuyan still here?"
Fortunately, Sun Linrui wasn't entirely useless. When she saw the stern look her younger sister gave her, she forced a smile.
"I didn't expect Miss Gu and Lord Yun to be here too!" Sun Linrui's words were rather foolish.
