Chapter 169: Getting along

When Aunt Yuan saw her like this, she could sense that Gu Ruochu was disappointed. Her tone was full of concern.

2

"Actually, couples get along after they get used to each other. They should first know each other and love each other, only then can they be together. Young Madam, don't blame me for being too nosy. I've known Nanchen since he was a little kid. His biggest problem is that he's stubborn. However, he's truly devoted to protecting you."

2

Judging from the Young Madam's reaction, she probably did not know that the Young Master had a sleep disorder and that he had a stomach problem.

2

Last night, when the Young Madam returned from her drunken stupor, she had personally witnessed the Young Master meticulously take care of her. He had even prepared some hangover tea and had not allowed anyone to disturb her.

2

Aunt Yuan knew that the young master hated the smell of alcohol on other people.

2

However, he had sincerely taken care of her. This meant that the Young Master had a lot of love for the Young Madam.

2

Gu Ruochu did not know how to answer her. She only pursed her lips and nodded. She could not describe the feelings in her heart. Sometimes, she wanted to be willful and love again, but she was afraid that she would end up wounded and hurt.

2

Wasn't her mother from her previous life a good example?

2

Gu Ruochu did not want to think about these questions anymore. In the end, she knew there were no clear answers.

2

After some thought, she decided to give Huo Nanchen a call.

He had checked in to a luxurious hotel and was winding down after a long flight.

2

In the deep night, Huo Nanchen sat on the sofa. His eyes and the night sky seemed to merge into one.

2

When he saw his phone screen light up, the cold and murderous aura around him slowly subsided and replaced with a trace of softness.

2

Gu Ruochu waited as the phone rang a few times before he picked up.

2

"Huo Nanchen, where are you?"

2

Her voice was indifferent. There had always been a trace of indifference and alienation in it. Huo Nanchen's already bad mood became even worse.

2

It seemed that she had always been like this. He always a sensed of detachment with her, and she was always on guard. However, last night, she had not behaved in that manner when she was with Xu Yichen and Rong Xiao.

2

Gu Ruochu did not know that he had been in the bar.

2

When she was with Rong Xiao and the others, she had always taken off all her disguises. This contrast made him feel a fit of wild jealousy that was quite sore.

2

She had never smiled at him like that before, and she never took her guard off when she was with him.

2

He hated her disguises.

Sometimes, he would suspect that Gu Ruochu was already in love with Rong Xiao or Xu Yichen, but he did not know about it.

2

Huo Nanchen felt even more depressed at the thought of this.

"I'm in Country M."

2

Without further explanation, Huo Nanchen asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

2

Gu Ruochu replied, "Nothing, I'll hang up now."

2

"All right."

2

After hanging up, Huo Nanchen's eyes were as black as ink and his body emitted an irresistible chill.

Over the next few days, Gu Ruochu spent most of her time at the director's class after which she would go home and rest.

2

Huo Nanchen did not call her, so naturally, she would not call him. The two of them seemed to have developed a tacit misunderstanding and did not communicate at all.

2

Gu Ruochu had been having nightmares for the past few nights. One moment, she was dreaming about her little brother in the garden, the next moment, she was dreaming about Huo Nanchen's cold face as he brushed her off. The scenes overlapped with each other.

When Gu Ruochu woke up, she would feel piercing pain in her heart.

2

On this night, after she had one of her nightmares, she got up from her lonely bed. It was already drizzling outside. Gu Ruochu got out of the house and the fine rain fell on her face. She made her way to the servant quarters.

2

"Uncle Wu."

2

"Young Madam, what's the matter?"
