Chapter 273 The Adult's Arrogance
"What does it mean when Shushu shakes her head? Does she like it or not?"
As Yun Yichen spoke, his big eyes darted around, making Gu Shuyan's heart suddenly uneasy.
"You, what the hell are you?"
Gu Shuyan, still shaken, moved back a little. If her intuition was right, this girl had just been acting cute towards her.
Heavens above! Earth below! The proud Prime Minister has gone too far! This is truly astonishing!
Gu Shuyan cried out in her heart, but the next second she fell into a warm embrace.
"Shushu, I know you've had a tough time all this time. But thank you for chasing after me so relentlessly."
Gu Shuyan was initially quite comfortable being held by him, but upon hearing these words, her face flushed red to her ears, and she immediately slapped Yun Yichen across the face.
Before she could make a move, Yun Yichen said again, "I've never told you before, but I've always been in love with you, ever since the first time I saw you."
The sudden confession left Gu Shuyan feeling a little dizzy, yet also sweet inside.
It turns out that her feelings weren't just one-sided all along, and that his feelings for her weren't simply about using her.
"Then, what about my elder brother's entry into the cabinet?"
Gu Shuyan turned to look at Yun Yichen, the meaning of her words was self-evident.
Yun Yichen had already guessed that she would ask this question. He placed his hand on her head and said, "Now all forces are eyeing you. Since he will be entering the cabinet sooner or later, it's better to do it sooner. That way, if those people try to take advantage of you, they will have to think twice before His Majesty becomes suspicious."
The position of the cabinet is no less important than that of the six ministries. If the Gu family has two high-ranking officials, those who want to use the Gu family's power to win them over through marriage will have to think twice.
Most importantly, Yun Yichen didn't want to wait any longer. With all sides now making moves, if he continued to hide, his identity might be exposed at any time.
At that time, not only will he be unable to provide Gu Shuyan with a stable life, but he may also lose his life, thus implicating Gu.
So whatever the reason, his plan needs to be accelerated.
"I see."
Gu Shuyan nodded, thinking of what Minister Sun had said that Gu Jin had mentioned today. She was afraid that the Fifth Prince was also thinking of winning over the Gu family.
If things had followed the trajectory of his previous life, the Fifth Prince should have already announced his engagement to the Second Miss of the Duke of Anguo's mansion by now, but there has been no news yet, so it is likely that the Fifth Prince has changed his mind.
And it's not impossible that this goal could be one's own.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Yun Yichen looked at Gu Shuyan, who had already figured things out, gently placed her on the bed, and then personally covered her with the quilt and tucked her in.
Are you leaving?
Gu Shuyan blinked, asking with some reluctance.
Seeing him like this, Yun Yichen couldn't really leave, so he simply sat on the edge of the bed.
"I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuyan nodded contentedly and slowly closed her eyes.
When Gu Shuyan opened her eyes again, Yun Yichen was no longer by her side. Outside the screen, the two maids, Mingyu and Zhenzhu, were heating something by the stove.
What are you two doing?
Gu Shuyan sat up in bed, glanced at the two of them, and asked with some confusion.
"Miss, you're finally awake."
