On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Shopkeeper Fu patted his chest and made the promise.

The city gate was about to open, and the stall owner had already returned to the stall with the wrapped wontons.

Shopkeeper Fu and Su Sui'an didn't want to stay any longer, so they picked up the willow branches and left.

After resolving his worries, Su Sui'an returned to Ruoli Garden and slept soundly until noon.

She originally thought that the Ninth Prince's men would come first, but unexpectedly, the ones who came were those from Duke Gu's Mansion.

"Miss Su, my master wants to see you."

The person who came was an attendant of Gu Xiuyan named Du Sheng.

Usually, I just do some perfunctory errands for Gu Xiuyan.

Su Sui'an was in a trance.

After all, this Du Sheng was sent by Gu Xiuyan to invite her out just a month ago.

In the past few years, she has almost always been following behind Gu Xiuyan.

That was the first time Gu Xiuyan took the initiative to ask her out.

As happy as she was when she went out, she was as sad as she was when she came back.

He said that he already had someone he loved and he shouldn't waste the rest of her life.

He said that their engagement would be invalid sooner or later, and asked her not to embroider the wedding dress anymore.

He said that her love would bring him distress and asked her to stop doing such useless things...

However, there is only one month left before their wedding.

He has someone he loves, so why didn't his lover let him break off the engagement early in the past three years?

He always knew that she had been pursuing him openly for those three years, so why did he still give her hope and let her waste three years?

In her previous life, after Su Sui'an was captured and humiliated, what she thought about most was why Gu Xiuyan changed his mind so suddenly.

She also hated Gu Xiuyan's cold-bloodedness.

But later on, she had so many things to do and so many things to experience.

She no longer had the energy to think about other love-related issues.

For her, her enemy was the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Just hating the Marquis of Changping, dealing with the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, and collecting evidence to overturn the case for the second house had already used up all her emotions and energy.

Later, when she thought of Gu Xiuyan again, she found that she no longer had any feelings for him.

To her, Gu Xiuyan was just a stranger who brought her embarrassing memories.

Whether in the past or present life, Gu Xiuyan was not wrong, he just didn't love her.

It was she who failed to measure her own weight. In her previous life, she ran to Duke Gu's Mansion and was captured because she overestimated her own abilities and thought that Gu Xiuyan would help her. It was her own fault and she could not blame anyone else.

As for Gu Xiuyan, during those carefree years in her previous life, Su Sui'an really liked him.

The kind that gives one's whole heart.

But there is no law in the world that states that when one person likes another person, the other person must like the person who likes him or her.

In this life, from the moment she came back, she had decided to break up with Gu Xiuyan.

After the marriage is dissolved, she will no longer have any contact with Gu Xiuyan.

I just wonder if this young body and lively heart in this life will affect her emotions when she sees Gu Xiuyan again...

"Once or twice, you didn't even send me a visiting card to invite me. How much do you think of us?"

Liu'er's dissatisfied voice came to his ears, and Su Sui'an came back to his senses.

Seeing the little girl was about to stamp her feet in anxiety, Su Sui'an smiled and comforted her, "Okay, I have my own ideas. You reply to him and ask him to wait for a moment."

Liu'er doesn't like Gu Xiuyan, especially after knowing that her daughter suffered so much in that dream, but Gu Xiuyan turned around and married someone else and lived in harmony with him...

This alone was enough for her young lady to draw a clear line between herself and Gu Xiuyan.

But now she still couldn't figure out what her young lady wanted, so she shouldn't do anything rash to avoid disturbing her young lady's mood.

Mei'er stood behind Su Sui'an and helped her to dress up.

His eyes were full of hesitation to speak.

Su Sui'an put his hand on the back of her hand and said calmly, "No need to be too formal, just treat it like normal."

It's not about dressing up, it's about being normal.

Miss, this is a hint for her...

Is that Young Master Gu no longer worthy of her dressing up seriously?

Mei'er's eyes lit up, and she deftly combed Su Sui'an's hair and changed his clothes.

...

Half an hour later.

As promised, Su Sui'an appeared in the elegant room where she met Gu Xiuyan a month ago.

Inside the side room, Gu Xiuyan, dressed in white, sat in front of the tea table.

The slender fingers are white with distinct joints, and there are thin calluses on the fingertips from years of holding pens and swords.

At this moment, he was cleaning the pot, warming the cup and making tea smoothly.

Wisps of white smoke as soft as water rose from the gilded Boshan furnace in front of him.

The smoke was thick and softened his brows.

It also weakened the fierce aura around him a lot.

But Su Sui'an knew that this was just an illusion.

What happened at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion last night may have reached the ears of the Emperor due to the intervention of the Ninth Prince.

Maybe, her marriage to Gu Xiuyan might have to be brought forward due to various factors.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the reason why Gu Xiuyan came to her was most likely about the imperial decree of marriage.

With a plan in mind, Su Sui'an sat silently on the other side of the tea table, facing him.

Gu Xiuyan's hand that was making tea paused for a moment, and quickly pushed one of the cups of tea in front of her.

Neither of them spoke, as if they were trying to see who had more patience.

In the end, it was Su Sui'an who spoke first.

"Last time I was flattered and drank a cup of tea from Master Gu, Master Gu told me not to embroider wedding dresses anymore. This time Master Gu was so anxious to find me and invite me to drink tea. Could it be that he was directly asking me not to marry you?"

Her tone was cold, completely different from the earnestness she had shown when facing Gu Xiuyan before.

I originally thought that when she came back to see Gu Xiuyan again in this life, this body would instinctively have some emotional fluctuations.

But it didn't.

Her heart is as calm as still water.

This time, Su Sui'an could finally be sure: the little girl whose heart and eyes were once filled with Gu Xiuyan really died in the previous life.

She can rest assured.

Compared to Su Sui'an's peace of mind.

Gu Xiuyan, who was sitting opposite her, frowned slightly.

His gaze, which had been fixed on the teacup, slowly moved to the person in front of him.

The woman in front of me had gentle features but a heroic air, plump cherry lips under her pretty nose, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes from time to time.

She was clearly the same person who had vowed to him a month ago that she would continue embroidering the wedding dress and would never break off the engagement with him no matter what.

However, what she said today was completely different from usual.

Even the attachment that she had unconsciously revealed when looking at him in the past had disappeared completely.

It seemed as if within a month, she had been reborn into a completely different person, no longer as easy to control as before.

This feeling is not good.

Gu Xiuyan couldn't help but gently pinch the fingertips hidden in his sleeves.
