Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Gu Huaizhi said, "Ayun is right. After all, Young Master Chu entered Xiaoyue Manor with my guarantee, so I will not sit idly by. However, Young Master Chu comes from a wealthy family and is often coveted by others. To avoid being disturbed by thieves, his residence is very secluded. Therefore, I really do not know where Young Master Chu's family lives."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wenshu's expression suddenly darkened, and Chu Yun also frowned.

“Young Master Chu need not worry too much. Although I do not know where Young Master Chu’s home is, I am somewhat confident that I can help you regain your memory. Qi An will also do his best to help me cure Young Master Chu. At that time, Young Master Chu will know how to return home.” Gu Huaizhi looked at Chu Wenshu.

After hearing this, Chu Wenshu's expression softened. Seeing Chu Yun nod at him, he said, "Thank you, Young Master Gu, thank you, Young Master. If I can remember everything, I will do my best to repay your kindness in the future."

Gu Huaizhi smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, you're too kind."

Xiao Qi'an echoed, "This is what we should do."

All three wore smiles, which momentarily dispelled the subtle rivalry that had been brewing at the dinner table.

After finishing their business, everyone felt relieved and soon left one after another.

The first to leave was Xiao Qi'an. As the young master of the manor, he would soon succeed to the position of manor master, and he was very busy. He had to rush back to deal with trivial matters.

Then came Chu Wenshu. Of course, he didn't leave voluntarily; he was sent away by Gu Huaizhi. Gu Huaizhi wrote him a prescription, saying that it could help him recover sooner, and instructed him to go with the Medical Sage to find the medicine. Chu Wenshu was thinking about recovering his memory, so although he didn't want to leave, he gritted his teeth and left.

Thus, only Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi remained in the room.

"A-Yun, I've never asked you before, afraid of putting you in a difficult position, but today I urge you to tell me the truth: did you use a Gu poison to escape danger that day?" Gu Huaizhi hesitated for a long time before carefully speaking, "I don't want to pry into your affairs, I just want to help you. Are you willing to believe me?"

Chu Yun pursed her lips and looked at Gu Huaizhi, remaining silent for a long time.

Gu Huaizhi looked back at her, his eyes full of sincerity.

“You’re right, I did use a Gu poison to survive, but I don’t know what kind of Gu it is; I just obtained it by chance.” Chu Yun finally conceded.

Gu Huaizhi had a premonition and was not surprised, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yun with pity. "A Yun, don't worry, I will definitely help you get rid of the poison. I know your hatred has not subsided and you don't want to think about other things, but I still want to ask you for a promise."

"What promise?" Chu Yun asked.

"If one day you avenge your great grudge and are cured of the Gu poison, would you like to spend your days with me in the mountains and rivers, living a carefree life?" Gu Huaizhi said softly, his gaze fixed on Chu Yun.

Chu Yun hesitated for once, falling into an even longer silence than before.

Gu Huaizhi felt an unspeakable pain in the silence. Even though he had expected this outcome, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He couldn't stop regretting that he had overestimated his ability to ask for a result, knowing that she was burdened and unable to open her heart. In the end, it was just wishful thinking on his part.

He forced a smile and said with difficulty, "It was my slip of the tongue, please don't take it to heart."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going back now."

Gu Huaizhi almost fled in panic, but in the instant he turned around, someone grabbed his sleeve. It was a very light force, like a mischievous hand kneading his heart, making his heart tremble uncontrollably.

A woman's dejected voice sounded from behind, "I...I don't know how to answer your question. I've never thought about what would happen after I took revenge. I don't know how to answer your question, but...I don't want you to be sad."

No one has ever made Gu Huaizhi feel so heartbroken. She hadn't thought about the future because she felt she had no future. How much suffering had she endured in the days he hadn't seen?

Gu Huaizhi couldn't imagine it, so he could only turn around and pull the woman he cherished so much into his arms. He didn't even dare to use force, only gently holding her shoulders. "Ayun, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you these questions, shouldn't have pressured you, and made things difficult for you."

His voice trembled slightly as he apologized repeatedly, until he felt Chu Yun's hand climb up his back and hug him back. His apologies stopped abruptly, and he froze on the spot, subconsciously calling out, "A-Yun."

He didn't know what to say, so he just called her name.

The woman, whom he held in his arms and whose every move captivated his heart, slowly tiptoed, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "I don't blame you, and you shouldn't blame yourself."

Such close contact and intimacy softened Gu Huaizhi's heart. He couldn't help but pull Chu Yun closer and whisper her name, "A-Yun."

"I'm here."

Those two simple words filled Gu Huaizhi with immense peace of mind. With Chu Yun's care and reliance at this moment, he was willing to do anything for her, and he couldn't bear to ask her for a promise. "A-Yun, I am already content with what you have said today. If you don't want to think about the future, then don't. I will clear all obstacles for you."

The woman in his arms didn't speak, but moved even closer to him, showing her complete trust. Gu Huaizhi's heart softened completely, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must cure Chu Wenshu and protect Chu Yun. For this, he was willing to pay any price.

*

Since their parting that day, Gu Huaizhi has secluded himself at home, painstakingly searching for a way to cure the curse. It has been five days since Chu Yun and he last saw each other, but the candied fruit he arranged to send her has been a daily occurrence.

Chu Wenshu would visit Chu Yun every day, accompanying her to practice martial arts, have meals, and chat to relieve her boredom.

People come and go in Xiao Qi'an's courtyard. Ever since he captured Xiao Changfeng and started taking over Xiao Yue Manor, he has been extremely busy. Today, he called Chu Yun to discuss matters together.

Chu Yun dismissed Chu Wenshu and went alone to keep her appointment with Xiao Qi'an.

"Miss Wen, you've arrived." When he entered the hall, Xiao Qi'an was alone, only smiling at Chu Yun, clearly having been waiting for her.

Chu Yun stepped forward a few steps, "Young Master."

Upon hearing Chu Yun's address, Xiao Qi'an's eyes darkened slightly, but returned to normal in an instant. "Miss Wen, please sit down."

After Chu Yun took her seat, she heard Xiao Qi'an's voice, "After some time, I want to reunite the various martial arts factions. Firstly, I want to continue the martial arts tournament that was interrupted, and secondly, I want to take this opportunity to officially take over the manor in the presence of the various martial arts factions."

“That’s a good thing,” Chu Yun replied.

Because of Xiao Changfeng, the martial arts tournament could not be held smoothly. People from all sects had already left before Chu Yun and Gu Huaizhi returned, and the prestige of Xiao Yue Manor was damaged. If the tournament could be re-held and the reputation of Xiao Yue Manor restored, it would indeed be a good thing.

"I want the girl to take charge of this matter."

Xiao Qi'an's next words stunned Chu Yun. She subconsciously refused, "This is probably inappropriate. I am not a member of Xiao Yue Manor, so it would be improper for me to handle this matter."

Because Chu Yun was busy traveling, she missed the final selection competition for outer disciples of Xiao Yue Manor. Strictly speaking, she was not a member of Xiao Yue Manor.

"If you're willing, then it can be done legitimately." Xiao Qi'an's voice carried a hint of seduction.
