Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

"If I don't agree, it doesn't count. Even if I divorce you, as long as I still care about you in my heart, no one can stop us from being together."

He held Lu Yaoyao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, I told them on the way to the inn that you are with me now, and I can get better because you saved me. If they don't agree to let me be with you, then just treat this son as if he didn't survive and is completely dead."

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lu Yaoyao withdrew her hand anxiously and angrily, feeling a little angry.

"I'm only stubborn towards you!" He hugged her, "Yaoyao, please don't reject me, okay? You're the only one I want to spend my life with. Can you bear to watch me die alone? If you leave, you should at least leave me with something to think about!"

"What are you thinking?"

"Give me a baby."

"Ha..." Lu Yaoyao punched him, "You're so unruly."

"Just tell me whether you agree or not. If you don't agree, I won't leave."

"Sorry, I've made up my mind."

In fact, if there was no mission, and she just came here accidentally, Lu Yaoyao would be willing to choose to stay with Gu Huai for the rest of her life.

Gu Huai is open and generous, has a sense of propriety towards others, and has a stable personality, which will not make her feel uneasy. Although he lacks some passion and romance, isn't it a rare happiness to be able to live an ordinary life like an ordinary person?

"You really don't want to go back with me, even if I beg you." Gu Huai said in a low and humble voice.

"Yes."

"Then can you stay closer to me? I don't ask you to go back to my mansion with me. I will buy you a house in the capital and you can live there. I will visit you often. Yaoyao, I just want to see you more."

Gu Huai had already humbled himself to this point, and Lu Yaoyao really couldn't bear to reject him. "Okay, let's go back to being friends and live in peace."

"Okay, if you're older and want to find someone to rely on and get married, then consider me."

Lu Yaoyao laughed.

Afraid that Lu Yaoyao would not feel comfortable riding a horse, Gu Huai specially hired a carriage and a driver, and also bought a maid to accompany Lu Yaoyao to the capital.

They were neither too far nor too close, so he could know her whereabouts.

Watching the group's backs as they walked away, Qingfeng said in surprise, "I didn't expect Gu Huai wasn't dead, and Miss Yaoyao is still with him. No wonder she dumped our people."

Qingfeng quickly shut up when he noticed that Xie Qingchen's expression was not right.

Xie Qingchen's expression was gloomy for only a moment, and he quickly regained his composure, a helpless calmness. "It's a good thing that Gu Huai is okay. He'll take care of Yaoyao, and Yaoyao is willing to be with him. It's better for me to be alone."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Go back to the capital."

"Sir, isn't that going deep into the wolf's den? But this is all within Xie Qingyu's sphere of influence."

"Let's go." Xie Qingchen said in a resolute tone.

Yes, I have to accompany you no matter how hard it is.

Lu Yaoyao sat in the carriage, looking at the maid who looked like a bean sprout and was bought by Gu Huai to take care of her, feeling overwhelmed.

Did Gu Huai deliberately use this girl to restrain her?

Now there is another burden.

When she leaves in the future, will she just abandon this girl?

The little girl was timid, as if she was afraid that she would not serve Lu Yaoyao well. After all, the master opposite her had a cold expression on his face, as if he did not like her.

"Miss, you...why are you looking at me like that? Is there something I did wrong? Tell me and I'll fix it right away."

Lu Yaoyao shook her head. "It has nothing to do with you. You just came here to serve me. How could I find fault with you? Don't think too much."

After a day of traveling in the carriage, they stopped at the inn to rest. As soon as Lu Yaoyao left, the innkeeper came over enthusiastically, "Miss Lu? We have prepared a room for you. Please come in."

Lu Yaoyao subconsciously glanced at the groom who walked in. The groom said, "Mr. Gu must have arranged it in advance."

Awesome, you’re afraid that she’ll run away halfway, so you have to coax her to the capital, right?

She went upstairs under the guidance of the waiter, and soon she heard Gu Huai's voice coming from outside the door, "Dad, Mom, watch your step."

Gu Huai is here!

Lu Yaoyao sat there without moving.

Soon the waiter brought the hot meal and asked considerately, "Would you like to prepare hot water for the young lady to bathe? Don't worry, the bathtub is clean and unused."

Such top-notch service must be Gu Huai's order!

"Yeah, later."

While Lu Yaoyao was enjoying a delicious dinner, Gu Huai took the opportunity to sneak over.

"You didn't even wait for me to eat, and you just started eating alone?"

"I quite enjoy eating alone."

Gu Huai wanted to wipe the tip of her nose, but suddenly thought of something and put it down. Instead, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "You little heartless girl, I came all the way here to have dinner with you, and you treat me like this."

"Mr. Gu, aren't you afraid of bloating after eating two meals?"

"It doesn't matter. That's what being a husband does. It's a two-sided affair."

Lu Yaoyao has become accustomed to his chatter. It is quite interesting to have someone to bicker with.

"Eat, how could I forget you?" Lu Yaoyao served him a bowl of soup.

Only then did Gu Huai feel satisfied and started drinking the soup.

After having dinner with her, Gu Huai went back. After all, he had to go back to be with his parents and family, and Lu Yaoyao would have to take a bath soon, so he didn't want to look at her without permission.

After he left, the waiter came up and took the food down.

"You, you, two people, carry a few buckets of hot water upstairs for the lady in the first room on the second floor to bathe."

He instructed the other two waiters and turned to carry the remaining food into the kitchen.

Just as he was about to throw away the leftovers, he was suddenly acupunctured from behind. His body suddenly stiffened, and a tall man in a black cloak behind him reached out and took the food from his hand and walked out.

Gu Chen walked out of the room to get some fresh air, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar person with his sharp eyes.

He thought he was seeing things, but when he looked closely, it was really him.

But his appearance has changed a lot, his once black hair has turned white. What exactly happened to him?

While he was wondering, the man had already sat down at a table and started eating.

Gu Chen noticed that it seemed to be someone else's leftover food.

Judging from his clothes, he is well dressed. Why would he eat other people’s leftovers?

Gu Chen was even more puzzled.

After having dinner with his parents, Gu Huai sneaked out and was about to go see Lu Yaoyao. Halfway through, he was stopped by his brother, "Gu Huai, I have something to ask you."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"You come with me."

Gu Huai still respected Gu Chen very much, so he could only put aside his desire to meet Lu Yaoyao for the time being.

The two of them walked to a secluded place, and Gu Chen got straight to the point, "You want to go to Miss Lu's place, right?"

"Brother, do you know?"

His voice was much weaker, and he seemed to lack confidence for some unknown reason.

The Gu family thought that he was the one who made the mistake, but only Gu Huai knew how sharp and observant his brother was.

"Not only do I know that, I also know that person has appeared in this inn."

No further explanation was needed, Gu Huai knew who it was.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "This time, he won't be able to get close to Yaoyao or hurt her."

"He has no power and influence now, so naturally he can't do anything, but he has been the crown prince for many years, and no one can imagine his methods."
