Chapter 190 Going to a Place
"good."
As Yun Yichen spoke, he walked toward the wonton stall in the far corner.
Because everyone was crowding into the market today, there weren't many people at the stalls.
"What would you two like to eat?"
The stall owner greeted the two of them with a smile as they sat down.
"Two bowls of wontons," Gu Shuyan answered crisply, glancing at Yun Yichen before adding, "with an egg."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
The proprietress turned and got busy as she spoke. Yun Yichen stared at Gu Shuyan without blinking, a warm feeling washing over him—a feeling he had never experienced before.
"Thanks!"
When the Grand Secretary spoke, Gu Shuyan thought she had misheard, but when she met his serious gaze, even Gu Shuyan didn't know what to say.
Last time at the wonton stall, Yun Yichen casually asked the owner to add an egg, but he didn't expect Gu Shuyan to remember it.
Actually, wontons with eggs are strange, but today Yun Yichen found them exceptionally delicious, even better than anything he had ever eaten in recent years.
"After we finish eating, I'll take you somewhere."
After swallowing the last bite, Yun Yichen elegantly wiped his lips before looking at Gu Shuyan with a serious expression.
Where to go?
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan quickly sped up, while puffing out her cheeks and asking him a question.
However, Yun Yichen just smiled mysteriously and did not intend to tell Gu Shuyan right now.
After paying the bill, Yun Yichen naturally took Gu Shuyan's hand again. They didn't head towards the bustling crowd, but towards a secluded spot behind the market.
Gu Shuyan glanced curiously at Yun Yichen, who seemed oblivious to her gaze and continued leading her forward.
The two walked for an unknown amount of time before Yun Yichen finally stopped.
"Brother Yun, why did you bring me here?"
Gu Shuyan looked around. Apart from a few dim streetlights, it was pitch black. What was there to see?
Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist. Before she could even cry out, Gu Shuyan felt her body lighten and she found herself on the roof of the three-story pavilion in front of her.
"Look ahead."
Supporting the somewhat unsteady Gu Shuyan, Yun Yichen shifted his gaze to the distance.
Before me, the bustling market was laid out before me, and with the colorful lanterns, the scenery was even more delightful than during the day.
Meanwhile, on both sides of the river in the bustling city, young girls eagerly released lanterns, entrusting their hopes and expectations for the future to the small lanterns.
"Oh, that's Sister Jing and Second Brother."
Despite the distance, Gu Shuyan recognized Gu Renjie and Ouyang Jing at a glance.
Gu Yingjie was holding a bunch of lanterns and quietly standing behind Ouyang Jing, preventing anyone from crowding her while talking to her.
"I didn't expect that my second brother, who usually seems unreliable, is actually quite doting on his wife."
Gu Shuyan couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yichen glanced at Gu Shuyan. Was she implying something to him?
Looking at the people releasing lanterns, Yun Yichen snapped his fingers, a thought suddenly forming in his mind. Gu Shuyan looked at Yun Yichen curiously upon hearing the sound, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much."
The Grand Secretary looked completely innocent. Seeing this, Gu Shuyan simply turned her head away and stared intently at Yun Yichen's face.
Yun Yichen felt a little uneasy under her intense gaze. His ears turned red, and he couldn't help but reach out and wipe his face. He had looked in the mirror before leaving the house, so there shouldn't be anything there, right?
