The Tales of a Blessed Daughter

Chapter 66: Am I That Old?

Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Yan’s blushing face with amusement.

Su Yan calmed herself down and her gaze gradually became serious.

“Gu Ruoyun, it’s great that you’re awake.”

Gu Ruoyun’s gaze softened as he stroked Su Yan’s head and spoke tenderly, “It’s been hard on my little Princess consort.”

Su Yan angrily removed his hand from her head, “I was just being serious with you.”

“I lied to Gu Lingyu about you being unconscious. He should be making his move in the Imperial Court.”

Gu Ruoyun did not think much of Gu Lingyu at all. He teased, “Hmm? You said that I’m incurably ill and that I don’t have many days left to live? Is that how you curse your husband?”

Su Yan never thought that Gu Ruoyun would see that letter.

Her face turned even redder when she thought of the words she had written in a fit of pique.

“You were the one who lied to me first, that’s why I was angry.”

She cursed in her heart, it was all An Yi’s fault for showing Gu Ruoyun everything.

Su Yan, who had nothing else to say, forcefully changed the topic.

“I was just talking to you about the matters in the Imperial Court.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently, “It’s alright, leave it to me. You don’t have to worry.”

He walked up to Su Yan and gently flicked her forehead.

“If you worry so much, you’ll turn into an old woman.”

Su Yan blurted out, “Turning into an old woman would make me just perfect for you.”

Gu Ruoyun’s face darkened. It was obvious that he was reminded of how Su Yan had called him Uncle previously.

Touching his face, was he really that old?

He looked at Su Yan, who was as beautiful as a flower and as delicate as jade. Her skin was so tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed from it.

He was silent for a moment.

He wondered if he should start taking care of his skin as soon as possible.

“I’m that old, huh?”

Hearing the danger in his words, Su Yan smiled ingratiatingly.

“You’re not old, you’re not old at all. You’re the most handsome.”

These words were indeed from Su Yan’s heart.

Although Gu Ruoyun was already thirty years old, but he was mature and charming. The young masters in the capital could not compete against this kind of aura.

Gu Ruoyun did not say anything else. He picked Su Yan up and laid her down on the bed.

Su Yan was shocked. “What, what are you doing?”

Gu Ruoyun pressed Su Yan’s head into his arms. “Don’t mess around, go to sleep.”

This was the first time Su Yan had been so close to a man. Her face was red and she did not know what to do.

Hearing Gu Ruoyun’s steady breathing beside her ear, she called out softly, “Gu Ruoyun.”

Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she received no response.

She slowly fell asleep as well.

Sensing the change in Su Yan, Gu Ruoyun opened his eyes.

His gaze softened as he felt the person in his arms.

…

Su Yan opened her eyes and washed up under Chu Tao’s care.

It wasn’t until she had washed her face and sobered up a little before she realized that she had slept with Gu Ruoyun last night.

She looked at the empty bed.

Gu Ruoyun had disappeared again.

After she had taken care of everything, Su Yan went out and met an unexpected figure.

Gu An, who rarely went out, had left the house early this morning for the first time ever.

Su Yan looked at Gu An’s figure and thought back to last time when she had met Gu An on the street. He was also in a hurry then.

She was curious as to what secrets Gu An had.

She quietly followed him.

In order to prevent Gu An from discovering her, Su Yan had come out alone this time.

Who knew that she would be discovered just as soon as she walked onto the street.

Gu An suddenly turned his head, and Su Yan hurriedly hid behind the stall next to her.

A white figure flashed past her eyes. Su Yan looked up and saw Gu An already standing in front of her.

Su Yan raised her hand in embarrassment and greeted him.

Gu An’s expression remained indifferent, “Why are you following me?”

Su Yan replied, “I just want to know what you’re going to do. Does it have anything to do with Gu Ruoyun?”

Gu An’s eyes flashed when he heard Su Yan call Gu Ruoyun’s name in a carefree manner.

Gu An, whose emotions could not be seen, made Su Yan feel diffident.

Su Yan said, “I’m sorry.”
