Mu Ling was speechless after hearing Gu Shi’s words. He shut his mouth and his eyes were gloomy.
“Father!”
Gu Yiyi stood up angrily. “How can you not ask me before you marry me to Qingyin? Have you considered my feelings?”
Gu Shi who was very confident just now was now being timid in front of Gu Yiyi.
“My dear girl, I’m just doing it for your sake. Little Qingyin is handsome and has a good personality. He is not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance. More importantly, you know about the issues between Xiao Qing and the Mu family, right? You might be able to discuss Xiao Qing with him in the future…”
After much deliberation, it was decided that Mu Qingyin was really not bad.
Back when he ordered people to look for a husband for Gu Yiyi. Why did no one think of Mu Qingyin?
Actually, it was normal that other people did not consider Mu Qingyin since his health was not in the best shape. He might fall dead at any given moment. The chief manor’s young lady must not be a widow. Thus, Mu Qingyin was no longer in their considerations.
“Father!”
“Yiyi, today is Old Master Mu’s birthday. We will discuss these matters when we return. Don’t make any trouble at his birthday party,” Gu Shi said, patiently.
Although Gu Yiyi was usually wayward, she still knew when to behave depending on the situation. Her eyes were full of grievances. She finally sat down angrily and did not say a single word.
The voices surrounding the discussion stopped abruptly.
A chilling sound could be heard.
Everyone was looking around since they did not know where the sound came from.
Time stood still and the sound of breathing continued.
The moon was cold and the night was silent.
The girl was so beautiful. She was as beautiful as a demon in a red coat and was as majestic as an empress.
Standing beside her was a handsome man who looked like a fairy.
The cold moonlight draped downward and covered him.
To the far right of the girl was an indifferent and elegant woman whose actions were so pleasing and attractive.
On her own, Luo Li was also very good looking. Unfortunately, everyone took no notice of her when she stood behind these three people.
Those people could only see the three of them.
“Are they Lady Suyi and Young Master Nan Xian?”
The crowd could not help but gasp.
When Lady Suyi took Nan Xian away, Nan Xian was only a few years old. Now, almost twenty years had passed, why was she still so young?
She looked the same as she was twenty years ago.
Chen Qingyan clenched her fists quietly. She was a little embarrassed.
She was relatively young and beautiful among her peers. But even so, she was still at the age where there was already some wrinkles on her face despite using spirit herbs to maintain the youth of her skin.
Suyi was older than her. However, everyone might think that Suyi was younger than her when they stood together.
Chen Qingyan who was always proud of her looks could not bear it. It felt like a needle poking into her heart and it hurt.
It was also at this moment that Chen Qingyan finally realized why Mu Ling would never forget Suyi!
Mu Ling might have really loved her before Suyi showed up. Nonetheless, Mu Ling only had affection, gratitude, and pity for her since he met Suyi.
It was particularly so.
Mu Ling had always felt that he owed her! Therefore, even if he did not care about Suyi, he must take care of her!
But what she wanted was his heart. Love with gratitude would never win desperate love.
“Why have you come?”
