Gu Lingyue heard Mu Chengyao’s mumbling and her body froze on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.

She knew that Mu Chengyao had fallen into a trap. The drug in his body had not been removed yet, and he was in pain.

She did not know what had happened between Mu Chengyao and Gu Qingxue, but Gu Lingyue knew very well that Mu Chengyao was in a very dangerous situation under the influence of the drug. He had no sense of reason at all, and she should not have chosen to get close to him.

Although Gu Qingxue was thinking this, her body was honest as she slowly approached Mu Chengyao.

She saw that Mu Chengyao’s eyes were closed. She was getting closer when she suddenly heard him speak.

“Yue’er, my Yue’er, where are you? Come and help me, I’m so uncomfortable, ‘ Mu Chengyao pretended to be in pain and called out to Gu Lingyue while twisting his body.

Gu Lingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. While she was surprised, a glimmer of hope uncontrollably ignited in her heart. “Why did you call my name?”

Only then did Mu Chengyao open his eyes. He seemed to be in a daze as if he had used a lot of energy before he could finally see Gu Lingyue clearly. “Yue’er, why is it you? Is it really you? You’ve finally come to find me… Why are you so cruel to me? Don’t you know that you’re the one who’s hidden in my heart?”

Gu Lingyue was a little dizzy from the sudden happiness. She asked in a daze, “You’re lying! You clearly said that you like Gu Qingxue.

Mu Chengyao’s eyes were in a daze. “Gu Qingxue came just now. I saw that she wasn’t you. I didn’t do anything to her. I let her leave. Yue’er, I’m so upset, why don’t you believe me? You don’t know how sad I was when I realized you were the one who drugged me. I just don’t think I’m good enough for you, so I want to keep my distance from you. I can lie to others but I can’t lie to myself. My heart only has you…”

Gu Lingyue stood rooted to the ground in a daze. She looked at Mu Chengyao, who had a pained expression on his face. She could not help but feel moved.

Every word that Mu Chengyao said was like a stab to her heart, making her subconsciously fall for him.

However, she still had a little bit of rationality left, so she could control herself and stop approaching Mu Chengyao. “No, the two of us can’t be together. I have an engagement with the crown prince,”

Mu Chengyao stood up and walked over to grab Gu Lingyue’s shoulder. He asked affectionately, “Can you reject me and accept other men? Yue’er, don’t lie to yourself, the person you love is me. Moreover, I won’t stop you from marrying into the royal family. Even if you become someone else’s wife, we can still be together. I don’t want a title, as long as you belong to me.

After Gu Lingyue met Mu Chengyao’s affectionate gaze, all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She watched as Mu Chengyao lifted her chin and kissed her.

Seeing Gu Lingyue close her eyes with an infatuated expression, Mu Chengyao’s eyes quickly flashed with a smug look. He carried her up and walked straight toward the soft couch.

On the other side, Gu Qingxue had just returned home, looking extremely exhausted.

Nanny Sheng was basking in the sun with Madam Qi in the courtyard. When she saw Gu Qingxue rush back, she smiled and said, “The Young Miss is back. Did you manage to buy the medicinal herbs you wanted today? ”

Gu Qingxue sat down next to Madam Qi and took a piece of pastry from a plate on the table. She handed it to Madam Qi and smiled. “I didn’t manage to buy any medicinal herbs today, and was almost scammed by Madam Kou..”
