Then, Hai Tang walked out of the bedroom and said to Gu Yun tiredly,â Gu Yun, I have something to tell you.â
âYes.â Gu Yun pursed his lips and responded briefly.
If it were the group of brothers who had played with Gu Yun since he was young, they would understand that Gu Yun was in an extremely bad mood at the moment.
Hai Tang rubbed her brows and exhaled.â Dharma Cultivator had a car accident some time ago. He hit his head and lost his memory.â That day, the hospital called me and said that they only remembered the patient of mine. It was him. Gu Yun, you should have heard that call, right?â
Gu Yunâs eyes darkened again as he replied, âI heard it.â
However, he did not connect the patientâs condition with the Dharma Cultivatorâs, nor did he expect the Dharma Cultivator to address Hai Tang as his fiancée. As a result, he felt a sense of crisis.
He also did not expect the Dharma Cultivator to suddenly act up because of this incident and become unstable.
âThen you should know about this matter. Iâm also responsible. I didnât tell you clearly in advance, but I hope you understand that I had no choice but to act as his fiancée for the sake of the Dharma Cultivatorâs early recovery. Heâs still in the recovery period and his condition is unstable, so I canât provoke him.â Hai Tang said slowly.
âI understand.â Gu Yun nodded slightly, accepting Hai Tangâs explanation.
But his gaze towards Hai Tang was still somewhat unwilling. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He really wanted to ask Hai Tang why when he had a dispute with the Dharma Cultivator, Hai Tang had immediately thought of coaxing the Dharma Cultivator.
In his heart, Gu Yun actually hoped that Hai Tang would coax him like she did to the Dharma Cultivator, even if it was just a soft word.
But Hai Tang had been polite and businesslike to him from the beginning to the end, as if she trusted his ability to adjust his emotions.
Perhaps Hai Tang thought that Gu Yun was born very powerful and did not need the care of others.
But what Hai Tang did not know was that after Gu Yun saw her interact with the Dharma Cultivator, he felt a sense of crisis. He felt jealous. He was concerned about Hai Tangâs act of giving gentleness and care to others. Only when he faced Hai Tangâs matter did Gu Yun have a weakness.
For a moment, Hai Tang did not know what to say to Gu Yun.
She believed that Gu Yun would understand her after she finished speaking.
She also thought about whether she should comfort Gu Yun, but when she looked up and saw that Gu Yun had regained his calm appearance, she forcefully suppressed the words she wanted to say in her heart.
Gu Yun didnât even question her about her relationship with the Dharma Cultivator. He listened to her explanation as if he was listening to an ordinary piece of social news. The little possessiveness that Gu Yun had for her seemed to have appeared for a moment before quickly disappearing.
Hai Tang thought to herself that Gu Yun probably didnât need anyoneâs comfort. He probably didnât want to hear some messy and meaningless words.
She had belatedly thought that Gu Yun cared about her, but now that she saw Gu Yunâs behavior, she felt that Gu Yun just could not accept others denying the fact that he was certain of it.
The two of them fell into silence. Hai Tang lowered her eyes and looked at the floor, while Gu Yunâs eyes were fixed on her.
As he watched Hai Tang, who had not spoken a word, Gu Yun suddenly felt that Hai Yuanâs words were right.
He was indeed not as good at speaking as a Dharma Cultivator. He could not openly express his needs and feelings.
For example, his heart was getting more and more stifled, but he could not say to Hai Tang,â Donât come into contact with Dharma Cultivators anymore,ââ Please coax me like you coax Dharma Cultivators,â or â I care about other people appearing around you.â
â You donât have to accompany the Dharma Cultivator to the banquet tonight. Iâll arrange a female companion to replace you.â Gu Yun struggled for a long time.
He did not wish for Hai Tang to continue being the Dharma Cultivatorâs fiancée, but the Dharma Cultivatorâs condition was unstable. Even if Gu Yun was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
â You heard us?â Hai Tang was stunned.â You heard us?â she blurted out.
Gu Yunâs entire body stiffened when he was discovered eavesdropping. He pursed his lips again..
