Chapter 451

Could he still have a good outcome after this?

Gao Yang ignored Gao Feng and turned to look at Gao Tianlong, "Grandfather, do you have any thoughts?"

"Your grandson is absolutely, truly sincere toward you. How about you and I, grandfather and grandson, take a pincer position and show this Great Chu Second Princess a good time?"

Gao Tianlong stared at Gao Yang, his eyes seeming to speak.

At this moment, Steward Fu walked up.

"Young Master, Xie family head Xie Anran requests an audience; she implores you to see her."

Gao Tianlong sighed and said, "I appreciate the sentiment."

"But flowers may bloom again, yet man never returns to his youth; in the end, one is no longer that youth."

"Even if I had the heart, I lack the strength."

Saying this, Gao Tianlong walked toward the backyard with great loneliness, his back appearing desolate.

Gao Feng also warned Gao Yang once more before turning to leave.

"Let her in."

Gao Yang said to Steward Fu.

It seemed his heart was still here, but in reality, it had long since flown to Chu Qingluan.

That heroic and spirited face had a unique charm.

Since neither of them could do it, he, Gao Yang, would not be polite.

Soon, Xie Anran walked in from outside the main hall.

"I have urgent matters, so Xie family head, please be brief."

Gao Yang said.

This anxious appearance actually surprised Xie Anran.

"This commoner is still here for the Bai Yu Sugar matter; I implore you, my lord, to give a hint."

Seeing this, Gao Yang tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I have never liked being secretive. Xie family head, could you remove that veil?"

Hearing this, Xie Anran was somewhat shocked.

But after hesitating, she removed the veil, revealing that delicate face with a beauty mark.

Her hair was pinned up, and she wore a long black dress that highlighted her prominent collarbones and skin as translucent as white jade.

"Xie family head, you are so beautiful, why cover your face all day?"

Gao Yang was somewhat surprised, his eyes fixed on Xie Anran.

Xie Anran felt a wave of resistance but had to force herself to endure it.

She said in a low voice, "This commoner is a person of ill omen; I cursed my husband to death, which is why I wear a veil. I hope you will forgive me, my lord."

Gao Yang was surprised.

A wife?

A widow?

No wonder he felt a sense of fragility when looking at Xie Anran!

Gao Yang's gaze was too intense, which Xie Anran hadn't expected.

Hearing that she had cursed her husband to death, Gao Yang was inexplicably even more excited.

This made her heart panic.

She decided to add more heavy news, "My lord, not only did I curse my husband to death, I also have a child. I had better put the veil back on, lest I dirty your eyes."

Saying this, Xie Anran put the veil back on.

But Gao Yang's indignant voice followed.

"Xie family head, you must not belittle yourself; this is absolutely a prejudice of the secular world."

"You must overcome it, ignore it!"

"Anyway, in my eyes, what you mentioned are not shortcomings at all."
