It was his own refusal to dig for the truth, his mistake.

But everyone was conspiring to deceive him!!

This time, he had been played around from start to finish.

"Gu Yuan." He called her real name, very cautiously.

Gu Yuan slightly tilted her head and gazed at him: "Hmm?"

He looked at her for a long time, so long that he almost lost his voice, a bitter taste spreading in his mouth, unable to spit it out or swallow it...

"Don’t you have... anything to say to me?" When he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse, like it had been rubbed by rough gravel.

Even the corners of his eyes turned red.

The whole person was on the verge of extreme collapse.

Wronged to the point of exploding.

Gu Yuan gently shook her head: "I don’t know what to say to you."

Quan Jin: "Explain, I want an explanation."

"Explain what?" Gu Yuan stared into his eyes.

Except for the two parties involved and Quan Yin, Yu Rujin wasn’t clear about what happened in the middle. These were young people’s matters; what’s done is done, and regrets must be borne on their own. She couldn’t intervene and could only leave first.

Before leaving, Yu Rujin placed her hand on Quan Jin’s arm and lightly patted twice: "Talk it out nicely with Yuanyuan."

Then she left the pavilion to cool off, and Fu glanced at the young master, then at Fifth Master.

With a sigh: Since ancient times, passion leaves only regret.

After Yu Rujin and Fu left, Quan Yin was still holding Suisui. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He rubbed the hair of little Suisui in his arms and said to Gu Yuan next to him: "I’ll take care of Suisui and wait outside for you. You both talk, but there are still two hours to the flight, just mind the time. If you have other plans, let me know, and I’ll help you change the booking time."

Gu Yuan nodded to Quan Yin and said: "Thank you."

Quan Yin smiled gentlemanly: "You’re welcome."

As Quan Yin carried Suisui away, Suisui looked at Quan Jin, reached out and waved: "Bye-bye fish~"

Then said to Gu Yuan: "Mommy will wait for you~"

The little girl’s voice was crisp, and when she waved goodbye, her cheeks lifted high in a happy smile, completely unaffected by her hurt knee.

Gu Yuan’s eyes curved with a smile: "Mommy will come soon, you have to be good, listen, don’t make trouble."

Suisui nodded heavily: "Uh-huh~"

Quan Yin nodded at Gu Yuan, then carried Suisui out.

This ’exchange of glances’ seemed so in sync and glaring to Quan Jin.

His throat choked, only now realizing: "During the time Suisui was with me, she always talked about eating fish, but in fact, the one who mentioned eating fish was Chi Yu you mentioned, right?"

There was no one around.

Only Gu Yuan and Quan Jin.

The two of them stood facing each other, the willow trees by the pond casting shade, the willow branches swaying gently in the breeze, irises growing by the pond spreading a faint floral fragrance in the slow wind.

When Quan Jin asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart, but he wanted to hear Gu Yuan admit it personally.

She didn’t disappoint him, admitting with her own mouth: "Yes, you are Chi Yu, the Chi Yu I fell in love with."

"Then why didn’t you tell me?" His voice trembling, with a hint of thin anger.

Yet Gu Yuan responded with a smile: "If I told you, would you believe a word?"

He was momentarily stunned.

Gu Yuan continued to add: "You wouldn’t. If I told you earlier about us, not only would you not believe a word, but you would even despise me more, distance yourself from me, and eventually, what kind of ending we would have, you might know better than I would if you think carefully."

"But during this time, you knew I had already fallen for you..." His eyes grew redder, emotions reaching a critical point.

But halfway through his words, even he realized that those words bore no meaning.

"I thought I had to remind you, yet it seems you’ve also remembered." Gu Yuan stepped closer to him, closing the distance between them. She reached out to stroke one side of Quan Jin’s face: "That day, I wanted to explain to you, to tell you, but you didn’t want to listen to my explanation, you told me to get lost."

He grabbed the hand she placed on his cheek, kissing her hand back, palm, and fingertips fervently, urgently saying: "Gu Xueli..."

She sighed and said: "I’m not Gu Xueli, I’m Gu Yuan."

"Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan..." He called her name several times.

Calling with such lingering affection.

This was the old residence of the Quan Family, crowded and full of gossip, Gu Yuan didn’t intend to entangle with Quan Jin here, she planned to leave first, and discuss other matters after leaving the old residence.

"Let’s do this for now, we’ll talk about it when I return to Sui City."

Quan Jin held her wrist.
