Chapter 1089

Perhaps she would be willing to do anything for him.

Because of this, the look Li Qiu cast at the dazed Wu Xingyun...

... could not help but carry a hint of envy and jealousy.

Although Wu Xingyun was very happy that Gu Hanyuan could confess to her,

and even Gu Hanyuan's deeply affectionate appearance made her heart surge,

she was unable to control her emotions for a moment.

Yet, deep down, a trace of doubt arose.

In her eyes, Gu Hanyuan was not the type of person to say such things.

Instead, he quite liked to tease her.

Wu Xingyun was not stupid.

It was just that she was too focused on Gu Hanyuan,

and had placed her hopes on the "substitution" plan to get what she wanted,

so her perspective had inevitably become much narrower.

It was only when the matter was at hand,

due to low self-esteem and timidity,

that everything before her eyes seemed all the more unreal.

Perhaps it was because they had been fighting for most of their lives,

but Wu Xingyun perceived the meaning in Li Qiu's gaze almost instinctively.

That undisguised jealousy, however, made Wu Xingyun feel much more at ease.

Recalling Gu Hanyuan's words, "It's just as if you were someone extremely important to me,"

and remembering that Gu Hanyuan had mentioned several times wanting to find his runaway disciple "Yun'er,"

perhaps he really did see the shadow of "Yun'er" in her?

Although her body had grown now,

and her appearance had changed greatly,

there were still traces of her "rejuvenation" period between her brows and eyes.

It seemed only natural that Gu Hanyuan would have a sense of familiarity.

Such a thought

left Wu Xingyun intoxicated for a moment.

Coming back to her senses and looking into Gu Hanyuan's deep, starry eyes,

she nearly let it slip:

"Mas..."

She paused.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan had no reaction,

her heart relaxed.

Along with it, she let go of some of her misgivings,

deciding to cherish this moment before her.

Her clear, beautiful eyes brimmed with deep affection,

and she murmured in a drifting tone:

"Actually, I feel the same. The first time I saw Young Master Gu, I felt you were someone extremely important to me."

Wu Xingyun's gaze was somewhat dazed.

Unlike Gu Hanyuan, who still needed the assistance of those memories from Taohuadao to aid his acting,

she was truly recalling the days when she first met Gu Hanyuan.

Whether it was being taken advantage of while he treated her Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian,

being used as a body pillow at night,

or the little details while he taught her the "Three Absolutes,"

all had become an inseparable sweetness in her heart.

Gu Hanyuan's expression suddenly froze.

As his furnace, Wu Xingyun's surging emotions

inevitably had an effect on Gu Hanyuan once again.

As if he could truly perceive her thoughts at this moment,

that mood, sweet enough to reach the heart, was conveyed to Gu Hanyuan without reservation.

Immersed in Wu Xingyun's feelings,

even the realm of his "Sentient World Sword Twenty-Three" was growing.

This feeling was not unfamiliar.

The last person to give him this sensation was Huang Rong.

The coldness in Gu Hanyuan's heart gradually melted away.

The smile on his face gained a bit more authenticity and warmth,

and his gaze became much softer.

He turned to Li Qiu, whose eyes were full of jealousy, and smiled gently:

"Since it is a mutual affection, I ask that you, Lady, make the decision for us."

Influenced by each other, Wu Xingyun felt that authenticity from Gu Hanyuan without surprise.

She said in a delicate and gentle tone:

"Please, Imperial Grandmother, grant us your blessing."

Li Qiu looked at the two people before her, looking like a pair of lovebirds.

"Great Senior Sister, this younger sister is so jealous."

Such thoughts swirled in her heart.

She could not stop the sourness from rising.

She almost could not help but expose the truth.

If it weren't for the fact that the heart-palpitating aura still lingered in her mouth like a hallucination,

giving her quite a bit of comfort,

this play would likely not have been able to continue.

Li Qiu remained silent for a moment with a complex expression.

She sighed faintly:

"I understand. However, the imperial palace has just gone through turmoil, so everything must be kept simple."

Wu Xingyun did not care about this.

What she wanted was not a grand wedding,

nor was it a title.

She only wanted to give herself completely to Gu Hanyuan.

Keeping everything simple could actually avoid complications.

Wu Xingyun said with eyes full of reluctance:

"Young Master Gu, please wait for me a little longer."

She had to go and put on the wedding dress that had been prepared for a long time.

Gu Hanyuan said warmly:

"Alright, I will wait for you."

However, his words held a double meaning.

He was waiting for her to put on the wedding dress,

but also waiting for her to return as "Yun'er" once again.

Wu Xingyun did not perceive Gu Hanyuan's hidden meaning.

She turned and left, lingeringly.
