章 760: The Black Rose's Secret

Gu Yuanli was donned in a long robe and sitting in the balcony. His injuries were all on his back, and he could not lie down. It was also unbearable if he laid on his front. Hence, he simply kept sitting down. Shen Qianshu walked to his side.

Gu Yuanli asked calmly, "Have you seen Father?"

Shen Qianshu nodded her head and sat beside him. There was silence between the two of them.

For a long time.

"Why did you choose to endure the beating over telling us the truth?" Shen Qianshu looked at him. She really could not understand him. "The biggest secret was already unraveled. Why are you still hiding some of the small secrets?"

"Little Shu, small secrets are the most hurtful. You don't understand," Gu Yuanli said. "When Father lost his temper, I could understand. He was disappointed with me. I could also understand. I am already contented now that you are even willing to protect me."
