Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"If you had urged me to drink and gotten me drunk, I wouldn't have suspected you. But you outsmarted me. You worried that the wine wouldn't be enough to make me drowsy, so you put a knockout drug in the food. Even though the knockout drug is colorless and odorless, don't forget that I'm a doctor."

The blood color on He Zan's face disappeared instantly.

"I...I didn't mean it. I just saw that Master Gu liked you, and I was jealous. I got carried away and wanted to use this to make you leave Master Gu."

"Whether you did it intentionally or not, Master Gu and I will not stay here. Originally, I would not let you go so easily, but considering that you saved Master Gu's life and took care of his and my daily life for so long, I will not pursue your fault this time."

"No, you can't just take him away like this." He Zan knelt and pulled at the corner of Gu Huai's robe. "Master Gu, this woman is a married woman and she wants to seduce you. Are you going to go with her? Please don't go with her, okay? Stay here, I will take better care of you and never mention love again."

Gu Huai used force and ruthlessly pulled the robe out of her hand, "Sorry, I want to go with her. You took care of me and left like this, and I will not give you any compensation."

He took out a jade pendant from his bosom and threw it on He Zan's skirt. "This is pure white jade, worth a thousand gold coins. If you exchange it for money, you can get at least a thousand taels, which is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

He Zan picked up the warm jade pendant with trembling hands, with both unwillingness and despair in his eyes.

She knew very well that no matter how much she tried to keep him, Gu Huai's heart was as hard as iron and it would be impossible to win him back.

"Mr. Gu, are you really so heartless?" He Zan's voice was filled with tears, tears welling up in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

Gu Huai glanced at Lu Yaoyao, his eyes firm and gentle. "You can't force feelings. I only feel gratitude towards you, not any romantic feelings. I hope you can understand."

Lu Yaoyao watched this scene silently from the side, feeling mixed emotions.

With things like this, no one is actually happy.

Just a short while ago, they were drinking and chatting happily, but in the blink of an eye, they were at loggerheads and on the verge of a fight.

"He Zan, life is still long. There's no need to be obsessed with love and turn yourself into someone you hate. You were so pure and kind before."

"I'm going to take Mr. Gu away now. I hope you won't bother me anymore." Lu Yaoyao said. Just as she was about to take Gu Huai away, He Zan's father suddenly walked in with a group of young men.

The young men were holding harpoons and other sharp weapons, and they looked ferocious.

"Village chief, what do you want to do?" Lu Yaoyao said sternly, with a cold look on his face.

He Zan's father snorted coldly, "This brat is so heartless and has betrayed my daughter. My daughter's reputation has been ruined because of him, and now he's hooking up with a noble lady like you and wants to just walk away?"

"That's just your daughter's wishful thinking. Master Gu has never said he loves her. Moreover, she did something so despicable tonight. How can we continue to coexist peacefully?"

"Isn't it because you, a bad woman, forced me into a corner? If you hadn't used your beauty to seduce him, how could this guy be charmed by you and reject my daughter?"

He Zan's beard trembled slightly, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. "Gratitude? Gratitude can ruin my daughter's life? You think you can get rid of us with a little money? Today, this brat either stays or forgets to leave this village alive!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the young people were restless, seemingly ready to take action at any time.

"I advise you to withdraw, otherwise you will be the only ones who will be in trouble."

Lu Yaoyao warned coldly.

However, He Zan's father was clearly overcome with anger. He waved his hand, signaling the young men to move forward. "In this fishing village, our He family has the final say. Who do you think you are to give orders here?"

Gu Huai stood in front of Lu Yaoyao, his gentle features regaining some of the coldness and sharpness he had before he was embarrassed. "Let's see who dares to hurt Miss Lu!"

"Go ahead." He Zan's father didn't waste any words.

"Get behind me." Gu Huai had just recovered, and Lu Yaoyao didn't want him to get hurt, so she pulled him behind her.

He Zan also didn't want Gu Huai to be involved in this storm.

She pulled Gu Huai's arm and said, "Mr. Gu, don't come forward. Wait until my father has this bewitching witch destroyed. Then you can sincerely admit your mistake to my father, and he will forgive you."

Gu Huai really stood there motionless.

He Zan thought he had heard it and began to feel proud.

It seems that no matter what you like or dislike, it is not as important as your own life.

It was not until Lu Yaoyao made a decisive move and beat the fishermen to a pulp that He Zan realized that he had underestimated Lu Yaoyao.

Gu Huai glanced at her sideways and coldly pulled his hand back, "I didn't help because she can handle it alone."

"Besides," he whispered, his voice vicious and full of revenge, "She and I didn't just meet at all. We've known each other for a long time, and she almost married me. Do you think I would be so easy to abandon her and choose a vulgar person like you?"

Gu Huai didn't mean to be so mean, but He Zan and her father were stubborn and determined to hurt Yaoyao, so he couldn't blame him.

Lu Yaoyao stopped only when those young men could no longer get up and she was sure that they posed no threat to her and Gu Huai.

She looked at He Zan with a complex expression of regret, "I have no intention of hurting anyone, but if someone is not afraid of death and insists on committing a crime in my hands, I will not show mercy."

He Zan was stunned at the moment. She never expected that Lu Yaoyao was not only an excellent doctor, but also a martial arts master.

More importantly, Gu Huai and Lu Yaoyao had known each other for a long time and almost got married.

This information was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

"You...you have known each other for a long time?" He Zan's voice trembled, and his eyes moved back and forth between Lu Yaoyao and Gu Huai.

Gu Huai's eyes silently declared that he and Lu Yaoyao had a special relationship.

His eyes also let Lu Yaoyao know that he already knew who she was.

This wasn't a good time to reminisce about the past, so Lu Yaoyao said calmly, "Gu Huai, let's go."

"Okay." Gu Huai naturally took Lu Yaoyao's hand, and the two walked out of this small fishing village full of right and wrong side by side.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, they just walked in silence.

It wasn't until they were far away from the village that Lu Yaoyao broke the silence: "Gu Huai, when did you recognize me?"

Gu Huai smiled slightly, with a gentle light in his eyes, "Yaoyao, is this really important?"

It doesn't matter. What matters is that she can't just stand by and watch Gu Huai remain blind and lame, so it's inevitable that he will recognize her.

"We need to find a place to relocate as soon as possible. You still have stage three treatment for your eye."

"Okay, wherever you go, I'll go."

Lu Yaoyao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. "Why don't you ask me how I got here and what happened?"

"I know a little bit, but since you are alone now, I know that you have gotten rid of that bad state."
