C41 (1/2)
and Gu Ruoxue walked out of the Gu household and arrived at the parking lot where the car and driver were waiting. Just as Gu Ruoxue was about to get on the car, she heard Song Yan saying to her, ”I'm going to take care of the matters after my business trip.
She didn't know what she had done to make Song Yan treat her so coldly. She had loved Song Yan for a long time, so for the sake of being together with her, she begged her brother for help with Song Family. After that, the two families were finally engaged and together, Gu Ruoxue happily married Song Yan.
Song Yan had always been very gentle to her, but that kind of gentleness made her feel that she and him were very unfamiliar. Ever since they got married, when they were alone together, their tempers had started to fluctuate, and once they got angry, they would gently say in guilt that they were sorry the next second. It was even better than before their marriage, where she would do his best to be a good wife to Song Yan.
At the beginning, when she thought that she would move Song Yan after marriage, but now, she couldn't lie to herself anymore. Song Yan really didn't feel anything from her, and didn't even want to sleep together with her.
Gu Ruoxue stood in the autumn sky, the evening breeze gradually cooling down, and couldn't help but tremble as tears slowly rolled down her face.
The driver stood by the side of the car, maintaining the posture of opening the door. He didn't say anything.
Gu Ruoxue stubbornly looked in the direction of where Song Yan drove the Everlasting Stone. Her eyes were stumped and the carriage in her sight had long disappeared, but she was still unable to control her tears. Gu Ruoxue was the eldest miss of the Gu family, and from young, she was the only one to command others.
Today, for Song Yan's sake, he didn't hesitate to stop his older brother who doted on his the most, yet Song Yan had still thrown her here.
The surroundings were very quiet. Except for the occasional chirping of cicadas, the rustling of leaves could be heard in the night wind.
”Ruo Xue, why are you crying?”
Gu Ruoxue was shocked. She embarrassedly wiped away the tears on her face and then turned to look at the person walking towards her. She forced out a smile and said, ”Qing Yu, it's already so late, why aren't you asleep yet!”
”I couldn't sleep, so I went out to have some fun. I didn't expect you to be here.” Gu Qingyu wore a white silk nightgown with a light fur cape on the outside. Under the pale white moonlight, her petite body seemed even weaker, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
”Qing Yu, you're not in a good condition. Don't blow too much wind outside. If you're walking, then go back. I'm going home too.” Gu Ruoxue quickly said a few words and then wanted to get on the carriage.
But before she could escape and get on the carriage, Gu Qingyu grabbed her hand, ”Ruo Xue, you're crying. I saw it, I grew up together with you, but now you're not even willing to talk about your troubles with me?”
Gu Ruoxue took a deep breath. She didn't want to tell her family about Song Yan and her, because she felt that if she could change him this way, sooner or later, even if it was stone, it would feel good. But today, Song Yan had treated her like that in front of her brother.
Back then, she insisted on marrying Song Yan, but now that she had become like this, she was too embarrassed to tell her family.
”If you don't want to tell me, I'll go and tell Grandma that you're crying and ask her to come and ask you personally!” Seeing that she did not reply, Gu Qingyu released her hand and turned to leave.
Gu Ruoxue panicked. If she let grandmother know, she would definitely ask her everything. If brother told her everything that happened today, grandmother would definitely not let Song Yan go.
