Chapter 1707
“You shut up!” I didn’t let him continue, the rising anger making me shake with rage.
“The truth is cruel, isn’t it?” The smile on Gu Han’s face was very fierce, “On the surface, Fu Shen Yan loves you to the core, yet he has put you in danger time and time again, his love is just words, at heart he is no different from me! We are both selfish and despicable people, no one is more noble than the other!”
I subconsciously tightened my brows and ground my back teeth to retort to him, “Fu Shen Yan is not like that! It’s not!”
“It doesn’t matter, in the matter of self-deception, women always do a better job than men.”
After Gu Han finished speaking, he swept his cold eyes at me and got up to leave the restaurant.
I dropped into a chair and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that all my strength had been used up in the argument I had just had.
Only when Gu Han’s footsteps disappeared did I pull out the mobile phone in my arms as an afterthought, wanting to call Fu Shen Yan to give him a heads up, then take it out, only to have it turn into a mobile phone model.
It seems that they had anticipated this and had switched phones without moving while I was asleep, cutting off my back.
I was already a light sleeper, and the fact that I was able to do this proves that there must be someone very skilled in this old castle, but I have not yet learned who it is.
Now that I think about it, even the disappearance of Gao Jian might have been part of Gu Han’s plan.
Suddenly, a figure was drawn long and round to my feet.
Turning my head, I saw a woman walking towards me.
She was wearing Martin boots and jeans, the turtleneck jumper on her body was of a warm, soft material, and her hair fell naturally over her shoulders, giving her a very lazy look throughout.
I didn’t remember that there was such a person living in the castle.
“It doesn’t look like you’ve had a very nice chat.”
As soon as she spoke, I recognised her.
This was the woman who had met the bodyguard in the car last night; she had changed her style today and I almost didn’t recognise her.
She hadn’t made half a sound from the stairway all the way to the restaurant, so it looked like she was the one who had swapped the phone out last night.
“Don’t look at me like that, when I’m not on a mission I like to dress simply and casually, just call me Ah Ruo.” Aruo naturally asked the maid for a glass of milk cereal and sat herself down diagonally opposite me.
“To be honest, Shen Shu, sir has always said that you are very special, but after spending so much time together, I don’t see anything different about you, I hope that sir is not mistaken this time.” Aruo’s words were full of contempt.
I was curious as to what kind of person it was that could raise such characters as Arau and the bodyguard, and willingly let Gu Han work together.
“What does Miss Arau mean by special?” I squared my shoulders before continuing, “I don’t suppose, does it mean that I was set up, deceived, had to be forced to separate my flesh and blood after only seeing my child once, and even after being treated like that, I had to be grateful and smile at each other, is that what you mean?”
“Hmph ……” Ah Ruo gave a low cold snort, “sharp-tongued, I’ll wait to see how long you can still be tough-mouthed.”
After that, she also left.
Probably because of the serious injuries sustained, the bodyguards did not come down for dinner, and I was the only one on the ground floor for the whole morning.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Han and Ah Ruo appeared at the stairway at the same time.
Seeing Aruo wearing a black leather jacket and trousers, I immediately stood up.
Aruo, however, returned to her cold state and passed by me without raising her eyes and walked straight out the door.
Gu Han, on the other hand, only stopped to give me a quick glance, then walked away without looking back.
Ah Ruo had said that they only dressed like this when they were on a mission, so it was obvious that they had a goal in mind when they went out.
And this target, did it have anything to do with Fu Shenyan?
Chapter 1708
Gu Han and the others had been gone for three days and there had been no news for three days.
I was on thin ice for a few days, sleeping restlessly, and I could only get to sleep by watching videos of my baby every day.
Late that night, shortly after I had fallen asleep, I heard the sound of the door squeaking downstairs, and almost immediately woke up.
By the time I got down to the lobby, Ah Ruo had gone up the other side of the stairs, the bodyguard was nowhere to be seen, and the only person left in the large living room was Gu Han, wearing a black cloak and still reeking of dust, just as he had been when I met him again, his eyes burning at the crucified Jesus.
At the sound of footsteps, Guhan spoke, “Up so late? Are you waiting for me?”
His voice was light, and he could hear the pleasure in it.
Not wanting to dwell on this excessive narcissism with him, I digressed straight away, “It doesn’t look like you guys are doing well this time.”
“Is that what you want, Shu?” Gu Han asked me rhetorically, walking towards me as if nothing was wrong, “God won’t always be on Fu Shen Yan’s side.”
He stopped in front of me, leaning forward slightly, his eyes glancing over me, that modest and gentle looking face, now a little more sinister for no apparent reason.
“But it doesn’t always come down to being on your side does it?” I made a motionless swallowing motion, showing no ripples.
Worried and frightened, that’s exactly what Gu Han was expecting to see, and if he did, he’d really fall for it.
Gu Han raised his eyebrows with interest, then stood up straight, as if he had heard a big joke, hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at me mockingly, “Not necessarily.”
What a confident statement.
I was about to open my mouth to set him off, but Gu Han suddenly turned away, seemingly uninterested in my reaction.
“You said earlier that you had only seen the child once, so you must miss him a lot, Shu?”
The subject had shifted so obviously that there was no reason for me to dwell on it unknowingly, “Yes, I wonder all the time, when exactly will I see him?”
Gu Han turned his back on me and tilted his head back, indifferent as ever, “Soon.”
“Hmph,” his words have little credibility with me these days, “How soon is fast in your eyes? A day? A month? Or a year? Do you know what it means to live like a year? You say you love me and tell me to choose you, but you leave me to suffer in the infinite darkness of separation?”
Realising that my emotions were getting a bit heated, I restrained myself from taking a sharp breath before continuing, “Since it’s all about imprisonment, let’s say I’m begging you to keep me and the baby together, I don’t want to just keep the video that I don’t know if it’s real or not every day, I want to see the baby.”
Gu Han didn’t react, his tall figure standing in place like a wall, impregnable, as if reminding me that any fantasy was futile.
Only after a long silence did Gu Han throw out the words, “Xiao Shu, you are too greedy, getting ahead of yourself is not a good word.”
After saying that, without waiting for my reaction, Gu Han turned around and walked past me upstairs.
Now Gu Han was unpredictable and unpredictable, and there seemed to be no chance of speculation.
A little deflated, I stood in the lobby for a long time before returning to my room.
I sat down on the bed, completely sleepless.
Gu Han’s relaxed attitude at first proved that they hadn’t left empty-handed, which meant that Fu Shenyan might be in danger at the moment.
