Gu Huaizhou looked at her, his eyes sparkling.

Yan Qing was confused by his gaze and reached out to touch her cheek: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

The man shook his head and sighed inwardly.

He hoped Qingqing would ask him for help.

But I was very relieved to see that she was stronger, smarter, braver and more capable of protecting herself than in her previous life.

She is not a delicate dodder or a caged bird.

She should shine.

Bloom with your own brilliance.

The man's eyes grew brighter and brighter, too intense to be ignored.

Yan Qing's cheeks flushed slightly: "Cousin?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded calmly.

But still looking at her.

Yan Qing: “…”

After a while, she turned her face away uncomfortably: "Let's go home."

"Okay, let's go together."

The man spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, as if the two of them were very familiar with each other.

Yan Qing became even more embarrassed.

He lowered his head and ran out.

What exactly is Gu Huaizhou's attitude towards her?

He told her from the carriage that he remembered the wedding night, and how Twelve Fang was bewitched by Yang Xuan's perfume and embraced her...

Yan Qing didn't dare to think too much.

I just feel that I need to find him a marriage as soon as possible.

"Qingqing."

A deep voice called out to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing turned around and saw that her uncle was still outside the court, apparently waiting for her.

Ye Zulong walked up to Yan Qing and said, "Don't worry about Miss Gongsun. Your uncle will definitely help you save her."

Yan Qing's heart suddenly felt warm.

She didn't say anything, and even if what Gongsun Zhi said was true, it was a fact that she killed Lu Mingyue, but her uncle wanted to help her save people without even asking any questions.

These are her relatives.

Instead of Yan Junyuan, a villain who only thinks about himself when something happens!

Yan Qing shook his head: "Uncle, I have already made my own decision on this matter. You and the Ye family don't have to take any action."

If my uncle takes action, he will really offend the King of Qi.

For the time being, let the eldest princess and the King of Qi focus their attention on her. After all, behind them is the entire Wang family of Langya.

The Ye family is the sharpest sword.

It should be used at the most critical moment.

Ye Zulong didn't expect that this girl would refuse. Seeing that she looked calm, he didn't force her. After all, with their Ye family around, he was not afraid that Qingqing would suffer any loss.

"Okay, since you are sure, I will listen to you."

Ye Zulong touched Yan Qing's hair and said with relief: "I didn't expect that our Qing girl has really grown up and has her own ideas..."

Ye Zulong suddenly changed the subject: "I think Gu Huaizhou is not bad. He seems more reliable than that hypocrite Lu Qiaonan. It's just that he doesn't have much background. But with our Ye family here, we don't care about him..."

"and many more!"

Yan Qing interrupted him and asked anxiously, "Uncle, do you have any misunderstandings?"

Ye Zulong was surprised and said, "Just now, you and him couldn't help but whisper to each other in the court. Don't you like him?"

Yan Qing's eyes widened: "How can there be any whispering..."

They were clearly talking about serious matters.

Ye Zulong, however, had an expression that said, "I understand," and looked behind Yan Qing. "Now that that boy is out, I won't delay you young people from talking about love. If you like him, go after him. Don't worry about the divorce. The children of our Ye family are not bound by worldly views! Come on!!"

After saying this, Ye Zulong left in a hurry without waiting for Yan Qing to refute.

Yan Qing was left with a face that was both funny and embarrassing.

She knew that her uncle was afraid that she would be sad because of the divorce, but there was really nothing between her and Gu Huaizhou.

Moreover, after experiencing what happened in her previous life, she has long since let go of love.

It's not because she was betrayed by Lu Qiaonan that she doesn't believe in love. She still believes that true love exists in the world. It's just that the experiences in her previous life were too heavy, making her have no interest in romance.

She just wanted to change the ending of her previous life.

Save yourself, save your mother and brother, and save the entire Ye family.

Then the family lived together in peace, health and happiness.

This is Yan Qing’s only wish now.

"What did General Ye say?"

At this time, Gu Huaizhou walked to Yan Qing and asked as he looked at Ye Zulong who was walking away.

Yan Qing looked slightly embarrassed.

She didn't know what was going on, but now she always felt uncomfortable when facing Gu Huaizhou.

"nothing……"

After saying this casually, Yan Qing paused and suddenly said, "Cousin, shall we go for a walk?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded: "Okay."

The two of them followed the road outside the Dali Temple towards Yan Mansion.

Qingluan and Luzhi were pulling the carriage behind.

Lai Fu also followed behind.

Luzhi did not go to the princess's mansion with Yan Qing today, but was arranged to ask Ye Zulong for help.

Now, looking at the young lady and her cousin together, she wondered, "What's wrong with the young lady? Why does her face look so red..."

Lai Fu muttered, "With my cousin here, not only am I blushing, my heart is about to turn red!"

Just look at the cunning mind of the young master, who can resist him?

I'm afraid the second young lady is already deeply involved in it.

Luzhi and Qingluan looked at Lai Fu together.

Lai Fu shut up instantly: "I, I didn't say anything!"

But he dared not let these two girls know the truth, otherwise his cousin would tear him apart!

Over there, Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou were walking side by side.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people long. Yan Qing looked at the shadows on the ground connected together without any gaps, and she subconsciously took a step to the side.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaizhou also took a step forward, and the two shadows entangled together again...

Yan Qing: “…”

She didn't know how to speak.

Just when Yan Qing was struggling, Gu Huaizhou suddenly asked, "Cousin, do you have anything to say?"

Yan Qing looked at him and nodded.

do not care!

She took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, what do you think of Miss Yang Er?"

"Yang Xuan?" Rubbish.

Gu Huaizhou despised her in his heart. That woman was very scheming in her previous life. She used Madam Zhen to get close to him, and used him to seduce Prince Jing, and finally became Prince Jing's wife.

If he hadn't wanted to use the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time, he wouldn't have taken advantage of her. But he no longer needed the Prime Minister's Mansion in this life, so on the night of Qingqing's wedding, he had no intention of letting Yang Xuan succeed.

I just didn't expect Qingqing to be reborn...

If he hadn't wanted to use Yang Xuan to make Qingqing worry about him, he would have killed that woman long ago.

Seeing Yan Qing asking this question, Gu Huaizhou's face showed a hint of confusion: "Why is my cousin asking about Miss Yang Er?"

Yan Qing glanced at him and said hesitantly, "Cousin, don't you think Miss Yang seems... to like you? At the Twelve Lanes, she wanted to invite you to Fu Cui Tower, but I pulled you aside. Just now at the Princess's Mansion, she wanted to throw herself into your arms, but I pulled her away... Cousin, will you be unhappy?"

Yan Qing wanted to first find out what Gu Huaizhou thought of Yang Xuan.

After all, every time Yang Xuan approached him, she rejected him on her own initiative and never asked Gu Huaizhou's opinion.

If he treated Yang Xuan...

"It's not too late for me to be happy."

The man suddenly stopped in front of Yan Qing, his dark eyes staring deeply at Yan Qing with a hint of joy: "Qingqing, are you...jealous?"

"what?"

Yan Qing didn't react for a moment.

Gu Huaizhou's face was already slightly red as he said, "Qingqing cares so much about Miss Yang Er, is it because of me..."

"No."

Yan Qing didn't even think about refutation.

Looking at the man's face that quickly turned cold, Yan Qing turned away and said, "I feel that Miss Yang Er is not suitable for my cousin. I'm afraid that my cousin will be deceived by her, so I want to..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Huaizhou suddenly took a step forward.

The two of them were already close to each other, and now he stepped forward, almost touching Yan Qing. She subconsciously stepped back, her heart pounding like a drum: "I want to help my cousin find a good and virtuous wife..."

Without waiting for Gu Huaizhou to speak, Yan Qing closed his eyes and said, "So, what do you think of Miss Yang, cousin?"

Yes, this is Yan Qing’s purpose.

First, she would ask Gu Huaizhou if he had any opinion on Yang Xuan. If he didn't, that would be the best. If he did, she would also give him a serious analysis to prove that Yang Xuan was not suitable for him. Then, she would bring up the comparison with Miss Yang. Yang Yun was recognized for her good reputation and was also the daughter of the Prime Minister. Gu Huaizhou would surely be pleased...

"No!"

The cold voice interrupted Yan Qing's thoughts.

She looked up and saw that the man's face, which had been gentle just now, had already turned ashen and dark.

Especially those dark eyes, staring at her at this moment, made her feel terrified.

Gu Huaizhou's face was extremely cold!

He originally thought that using Yang Xuan would bring Qingqing closer to him. But she actually wanted to find a woman for him!

Isn't it obvious what he's showing?

He had missed her in his previous life and regretted it all his life. Even if he didn't want the kingdom in this life, he would never allow her to escape from him again!

"follow me!"

Gu Huaizhou suddenly pulled Yan Qing to a nearby restaurant.

He asked for a private room and locked the door as soon as he entered!

Yan Qing was startled by Gu Huaizhou's sudden behavior. She said blankly, "Cousin?"

"Don't call me cousin."

Gu Huaizhou pulled her to the coffee table in the middle of the room. He pressed her down on the cushions, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "I am not your cousin."

Yan Qing's eyes widened: "!"

What is he doing?

Are you going to confess to her?

"Qingqing, I'm not your cousin."

Sure enough, Gu Huaizhou’s next words made Yan Qing so shocked that she almost jumped up!

Is Gu Huaizhou crazy?

He is still in the dormant stage, how can he reveal his identity? If Queen Wang knew there was a prince among the people, she would definitely find ways to get rid of him!

Yan Qing said in panic: "Cousin, what are you talking about? If you are not my cousin, then who is?"

"I'm not!"

Gu Huaizhou said firmly: "Qingqing, my last name is Ying, my name is Ying..."

"do not want!"

Yan Qing covered his mouth with his hand without thinking.

He is really crazy!

How can you casually say the country's surname in a place like this!

However, Gu Huaizhou pulled her hand away and said firmly, "My name is Ying Huaizhou."

"Buzz!"

Yan Qing's mind went blank.

He spoke out.

He confessed to her.

Why……

Don’t you know it’s dangerous?

If walls had ears...

"Don't worry, there's no one."

Gu Huaizhou had amazing hearing ability, so he made this decision because he knew there was no one around.

Yan Qing just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the man continue, "So, don't push me out, okay?"

"what?"

Gu Huaizhou looked at her with deep dark eyes: "Qingqing, don't push me to other women, okay?"

He looked serious, and there was a pain in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

Something in her heart seemed to be about to burst out, and Yan Qing spoke in a hoarse voice: "Why? Miss Yang has a good character and family background, and the Prime Minister's Mansion can also help you..."

"I have someone I like."

This sentence made Yan Qing's remaining words stuck in his throat.

She looked at Gu Huaizhou, knowing that this kind of conversation would usually be followed by the question "Who do you like?", but Yan Qing couldn't open her mouth.

She wanted to get up: "...We should go back home."

The man suddenly reached out his hand——

Yan Qing let out a soft cry and fell into someone's arms.

Gu Huaizhou hugged her tightly and said hoarsely: "Qingqing, how long are you going to run away?"

Yan Qing was extremely panicked.

She wanted to struggle, but the man was too strong, as if he wanted to clamp her completely into his body.

"Qingqing, you know right..."

Gu Huaizhou rested his head on her shoulder, his voice soft and affectionate: "I told you my life story because I wanted you to know that I am serious. Qingqing, what do I want you to believe me?"

Yan Qing: “…”

She did not struggle anymore, but lay quietly in Gu Huaizhou's arms. After he calmed down a little, she whispered, "Why? Why me?"

Gu Huaizhou hugged her again: "No reason..."

I just like it.

I've liked it since a long time ago.

Yan Qing continued to ask: "When did it start?"

Gu Huaizhou frowned slightly and let go of Yan Qing.

Seeing her calm face and the absence of love in her eyes, the man's heart instantly sank.

Qingqing, this is...

After a pause, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he said embarrassedly: "That night when you and Li came to Qingzhu Courtyard to be with me... I... will never forget it..."

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

It was that night...

She looked at Gu Huaizhou and said softly, "Gu Huaizhou, you don't like me, that night..."

After a moment of silence, Yan Qing lied: "That night I heard that Madam Zhen was going to frame you, so I went to Qingzhu Courtyard. I never thought that you were drugged. The situation at that time..."

She tried hard to suppress her shyness, trying not to blush, and said calmly, "I made a decision out of urgency. I just wanted to save you. You won't forget it... It's also because you've never been so intimate with a woman before. When you are with her..."

"Don't want anyone else."

Gu Huaizhou interrupted Yan Qing and looked at her steadily with his dark eyes: "I only want you."

Yan Qing: “…”

How to wake up someone who has a misconception about her?

"That was my first time. Qingqing, don't you want to take responsibility if you want it?"

Yan Qing was thinking, and suddenly heard these fierce words, and was shocked.

She glared at Gu Huaizhou: "What...are you talking about?"

Gu Huaizhou's handsome face showed a hint of shyness: "That was my first time."

Yan Qing's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Does he know what he is talking about?

Why did she feel like a bully who bullied an innocent girl and didn't take responsibility?

Gu Huaizhou suddenly stretched out his fingers, hooked her sleeve, and said innocently and aggrievedly: "Qingqing, you have to be responsible for me~"

Yan Qing: “!”

She... this... why did she suddenly become like this?

A gleam of light flashed in Gu Huaizhou's lowered eyes.

Damn Lu Qiaonan, he actually made Qingqing seal her heart and lock away her love. He originally thought that expressing his love to Qingqing would make her somewhat moved.

But the calmness in Qingqing's eyes just now made him realize that if he pressed her any further, it would probably only push her further away.

So he decided to settle for the next best thing.

Guilt is also a feeling...

Now that Qingqing knows his feelings, everything he does in the future will become a matter of course. One day, he will wait until Qingqing falls in love with him...
