Under Lin Wanzhi's comforting words, Gu Zheng could only sigh and say helplessly, ”Do you think that Wangchuan will be happy if he marries Wei Yi?” The stars in his eyes clearly dimmed a little.

Hearing the word 'happiness', Lin Wan Xin's heart skipped a beat. However, she quickly recovered and replied, ”Gu Zheng, I actually don't know either. I just think that since Wu Chuan was willing to marry Wei Yi in the end, there must be a reason behind it. It's just that to the both of you, this is a very unfortunate result.”

Upon hearing this reply, Gu Zheng sighed helplessly and continued to mutter to himself. ”Perhaps you're right. Wangchuan must have been willing to marry Wei Yi.”

Although Gu Zheng was muttering to himself, he firmly believed that Wangchuan liked him. It was only because their marriage had been bestowed by the Emperor that Wangchuan had no choice but to carry it out.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was getting more and more upset, Lin Wan Zhi walked up and looked at Gu Zheng with a hesitant expression.

Perhaps sensing Lin Wanzhi's awkwardness, Gu Zheng stretched out his left hand, as if he had become a different person.

”I understand everything you've said, but I'm not willing to accept it.” Gu Zheng was dispirited as he sat on the stone bench, his emotions complicated.

”Although Wu Chuan and I are good friends, I still hope that she can marry you. After all, the relationship between the two of you cannot deceive anyone.” Lin Wanzhi smiled gently. Her tone was still as gentle as ever.

”Do you really think so?” Gu Zheng suddenly grasped Lin Wanzhi's shoulder with both hands in excitement.

She knew her position in Gu Zheng's heart, and she understood the reason why she and Gu Zheng were united. However, when she saw Gu Zheng perform such an emotional action because of Wenchuan, she also hoped that such a man would go crazy for her. However, this thought only flashed through her mind; after all, she had an important mission on her mind.

In order not to offend Gu Zheng, Lin Wanzhi resolutely nodded his head.

After receiving his affirmation, Gu Zheng said excitedly, ”Since that's the case, then I'll go look for Wu Chuan now. I want him to know my feelings for her.”

Seeing that Gu Zheng had suddenly become agitated, Lin Wanzhi immediately grabbed his arm and advised, ”Gu Zheng, you must not go looking for Wan Chuan now or something big will happen.”

”Big matter? Could it be that you're worried that I'm afraid of that black-faced Wei Yi? ”

”No …”

”What does that mean?”

”Gu Zheng, I know that you definitely won't fear Wei Yi, and your strength won't be much weaker than his either. However, if you go to Wangchuan now in such a reckless manner, that would be the worst possible outcome for her.” Lin Wan Zhi said earnestly.

Having been reminded by Lin Wanzhi, Gu Zheng suddenly said to himself, ”That's right, if not for you, I would really have acted on impulse.”

After a long while, Gu Zheng seemed to have thought of something and asked Lin Wanzhi, ”What did Forgetfulness Creek find you for today?”

Seeing that Gu Zheng was abnormally agitated, Lin Wanzhi sighed in his heart and told the truth in the end, ”Gu Zheng, I forgot that the main reason I'm here today is to invite me to her wedding banquet tomorrow.”

Upon hearing that there was actually no information regarding him during this period of time, Gu Zheng's eyes held a tinge of disappointment.

In the end, Lin Wanzhi opened his mouth and said, a little embarrassed, ”Gu Zheng, there's something I hope you can help me with.”
