Chapter 1060

Wu Xingyun was almost furious listening to Li Qiu's implied teasing.

Was this the time for infighting?

She had been thinking of finding an opportunity to throw Li Qiu onto Gu Hanyuan's bed.

This Junior Sister of hers was indeed as annoying as ever.

Unfortunately, she still had to pretend to be a weak and gentle lady in front of Gu Hanyuan.

She couldn't get angry over such things.

And she certainly couldn't curse Li Qiu for it.

Her stunningly beautiful face turned dark.

She suppressed the urge to curse with all her might.

Which made her expression increasingly strange.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Hanyuan watched Wu Xingyun's young girl facial expressions.

Teasing this arrogant girl was indeed interesting.

A relaxed smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

That was different from the tenderness Huang Rong gave him.

Wu Xingyun was always able to give him ease and relaxation.

Thinking this way.

Even his expression toward Wu Xingyun softened unconsciously.

Wu Xingyun was extremely sensitive to Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

Sensing that he was staring at her.

She thought she had revealed a flaw somewhere.

After all, her reaction just now had indeed been a bit excessive.

She lowered her head.

Feeling a bit flustered in her heart for a moment.

Her slender fingers gripped her sleeves nervously.

She wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak rashly.

She appeared completely at a loss.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan still hadn't spoken.

She became increasingly restless.

And cursed Li Qiu a few more times in her heart.

Such silence was unbearable for Wu Xingyun.

She carefully raised her beautiful eyes.

And saw Gu Hanyuan's gaze, which was so gentle it felt exceptionally familiar.

That was back when she still had the figure of a young girl.

When Gu Hanyuan would hold her in his arms like a pillow.

And the gaze he most often revealed while stroking her little head and petite back.

The overly familiar gaze touched Wu Xingyun instantly.

Her clear, beautiful eyes lost focus slightly.

For some reason, she had the urge to shed tears.

She really missed Gu Hanyuan too much.

She longed to be held tightly in Gu Hanyuan's arms.

And fall asleep peacefully in his reassuring scent and warmth.

Without having to consider all sorts of troublesome matters.

Because the Master who loved her most would shield her from the wind and rain.

How she wanted to throw herself into Gu Hanyuan's arms right now and confess everything.

To act coquettishly and admit her mistakes.

Even if it were like before.

Being turned over and pressed onto his lap for a spanking as punishment, she would gladly accept it.

As long as there was no disgust or disappointment in his eyes.

Any punishment would be fine.

However, Wu Xingyun still lacked that bit of courage.

And thus she brushed past the best outcome.

She turned her body slightly.

To avoid Gu Hanyuan noticing the moisture in the corners of her eyes.

She said dejectedly:

"I understand. Please take care of yourself, Young Master Gu; I will wait for your return at the Green Phoenix Pavilion."

Having said that, she turned and left with complex emotions.

Watching Wu Xingyun's lonely back.

Gu Hanyuan sighed in his heart.

"This girl can always make people's hearts ache with her simplicity."

Li Qiu, who was beside him, also couldn't bear it and said:

"Young Master Gu, why not just forget it? Seeing Senior Sister like that makes me feel uncomfortable too."

After Li Qiu and Wu Xingyun made up.

Although there was still all sorts of competitiveness.

And daily bickering.

Li Qiu also recalled more of the memories of Wu Xingyun taking care of her when she was young.

As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother.

Compared to the unreliable Xiaoyaozi.

Wu Xingyun had indeed fulfilled the duties of a mother toward her at that time.

Li Qiu had also grown up gradually under Wu Xingyun's love and pampering.

After no longer being blinded by her feelings for Wu Yazi.

Li Qiu cared more and more about Wu Xingyun.

Gu Hanyuan's gaze drifted slightly.

His words carried an inexplicable loneliness.

"This is a lesson I am teaching Yun'er. Escaping cannot solve problems; it only delays them. Without the courage to forge ahead, she will sooner or later be left behind by me."

Gu Hanyuan had high expectations for Wu Xingyun.

Although he initially only treated her as a furnace.

Wu Xingyun's aptitude truly qualified her to stand by his side.

On the path to immortality.

Walking alone was not a pleasant thing.

Li Qiu's expression was extremely complex upon hearing this.

She realized a fact.

In Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

Her status might never compare to Wu Xingyun's.

She might win a small battle.

But she would not win in the end.

Li Qiu felt both lost and jealous.

Facing Wu Xingyun.
