Pei Yu waited for a long time, but before Gu Chengxuan could speak, he took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, Yu'er wants to ask you a question..."
Gu Chengxuan nodded.
"If one day, the matter between me and the prince... comes to light..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Chengxuan interrupted her calmly, "Why did you use the words 'The incident happened'?"
Hearing this, Pei Yu was slightly startled, as if she didn't quite understand what Gu Chengxuan's point had to do with what she was about to say.
After a moment, Gu Chengxuan said again: "Go on."
Pei Yu nodded blankly, "That's right, if my parents find out about the matter between me and the prince, have you thought about the future, prince?"
"Have Xiao Yu'er thought about it?" Gu Chengxuan asked her in a calm tone.
Pei Yu blinked her eyelashes lightly, "I, I don't know..."
"Then wait until Xiao Yu'er thinks about it." Gu Chengxuan seemed to think that what he was thinking didn't matter, so his attitude seemed very calm.
Pei Yu was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty, does it matter what I think?"
Aren't his own thoughts the most important
Gu Chengxuan looked at her steadily for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it's important."
Somehow, when Pei Yu was looked at by him like that, unknown emotions surged in her heart, as if Gu Chengxuan's "important" words hit her heart, making her tremble slightly.
She seemed to understand why Gu Chengxuan said this...
Is it because... respect her
If she is willing, it will not be difficult for him regardless of whether her parents know about it in the future.
If she was unwilling from the beginning, he would respect her wishes.
Thinking of this, Pei Yu felt her nose was a little sore. She knew that Gu Chengxuan liked her, but she never thought that the old man's love was so delicate, neither impulsive nor harmful, and respected her first. This made Pei Yu I was deeply moved.
Pei Yu didn't know how to answer Gu Chengxuan for a moment, because she was indeed not ready to answer him, so Pei Yu didn't want to answer him blindly. Pei Yu sniffed and couldn't help but raise her head to look at him, grabbing his sleeves with her little hands, "Your Majesty, can you wait for me to think about it?"
"Okay." Gu Chengxuan responded warmly.
Pei Yu listened and hugged him tightly again.
Sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was kissing Gu Chengxuan, hugging Gu Chengxuan, or even saying those sweet words to Gu Chengxuan, whether it was to make Gu Chengxuan happy, or whether she wanted to do this herself...
Because, from beginning to end, no one forced her.
Gu Chengxuan never forced her.
When she came out of Cheng Mansion, Pei Yu felt much more relaxed, because she knew that Gu Chengxuan respected her now, so the scenes of robbery and robbery that she was thinking about now should be impossible for Gu Chengxuan...
But Pei Yu didn't have time to be happy for long before he found that he was doomed.
After Pei Yu left Chengfu, he originally planned to go around the street to buy some things before returning to the house, but not long after walking, he bumped into Pei Chi unexpectedly.
And it wasn’t just a chance encounter.
Pei Chi stood there, staring at her with a complicated expression, waiting for her to come over.
At that moment, for the first time, Pei Yu felt nervous and uneasy like never before. She subconsciously wanted to turn around and walk away, but after turning around and taking only two steps, she felt that she was hiding her ears and deceiving others, so she could only grit her teeth and bite the bullet. He turned around and walked towards Pei Chi.
She prayed innocently, praying that Pei Chi was just passing by.
"Brother... why are you here?" Pei Yu pretended that nothing happened and smiled at him.
Pei Chi looked at her coldly: "Should I ask you this?"
Pei Yu blinked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Someone saw you entering Chengfu with their own eyes. You have been running out these days, just to Chengfu, right?"
Hearing this, Pei Yu suddenly frowned: "Brother, are you sending someone to follow me?"
"Don't interrupt, Yu'er, please tell me honestly why you want to go to Chengfu!"
Pei Yu's eyes flickered, she turned away and said coldly: "Why didn't I go..."
"Okay, don't tell me, right? Then I'll go ask King Cheng personally. I want to ask him what he means by asking my little sister to see him every day!" Pei Chi said angrily, pushing away If she drives, she will head towards Chengfu.
How could Pei Yu let him run to find Gu Chengxuan at this juncture? He even reached out to stop him, "Brother! You are not allowed to go!"
Pei Yu stared at him, feeling guilty and nervous.
But when she looked like this in Pei Chi's eyes, it was particularly dazzling and heartbreaking. He gritted his teeth and was so angry that his breathing was trembling, "I understand, let me just say... The cold-faced and ruthless King Cheng in my father's mouth is so good. How could you agree to a retrial...bastard! King Cheng is a beast! Go find him!"
"Brother, why are you going? You misunderstood! Things are not what you think!" Pei Yu was almost pushed away by him again. She hugged him tightly for fear that he would rush over if he lost his composure, but Pei Yu Chi was already dizzy with anger at this juncture. He pushed Pei Yu away and said angrily, "Brother, what did you misunderstand? He is a man in his thirties, but he talks down to a little girl like you! Such a person like him What is it if it’s not a beast?!”
Pei Yu became more and more ashamed as he spoke. For fear of being heard by passers-by, she hurriedly covered his mouth and said loudly with red eyes: "Brother, stop talking! He didn't force me!"
Pei Chi was startled when he heard this, but he removed her hand covering his mouth, stared at her and asked, "He didn't touch you? Pei Yu, do you really think that I am a fool? If not, you would run there every day What was he doing in his house? If not, why did he agree to a retrial?"
Pei Yu was almost speechless by Pei Chi. She admitted that she and Gu Chengxuan did not have legitimate reasons at first, but now, she feels that she and Gu Chengxuan are not the same thing at all...
At least, it's what you want.
Gu Chengxuan didn't force her, and she didn't feel that she was forcing anything.
Pei Yu took a deep breath and said: "Brother, the retrial is because there are still doubts about this case, and Brother Cheng has been helping you. Brother Cheng got the key evidence for you and dad, so the retrial can be retried..."
Before Pei Yu finished speaking, Pei Chi suddenly shrank his pupils, held her hand down, and interrupted her almost gritting his teeth, "I know... It was Cheng Bai who incited you to do this. Cheng Bai asked you to find her. Is it Gu Chengxuan’s?”
Pei Yu was stunned, "No, I haven't finished speaking yet. Brother, please listen to my explanation first!"
"Shut up!" Pei Chi was probably so angry that he couldn't help yelling at Pei Yu. Pei Yu had not been yelled at by him since he was a child. He was suddenly frightened by him and was stunned again, and then didn't wait. When she reacted, Pei Chi forced her forward, hired a carriage on the road, and asked the driver to take her back to Pei's house, while he went to Dali Temple angrily.
