Chapter 1201: Wen Yi, who wanted Wen Qingqing to help share the burden

Gu Hanyuan had already guessed what Bing Xue'er was thinking.

Naturally, he would not let her have her way so easily.

The smile on his lips grew increasingly playful.

Yet his eyes remained as cold as ice.

His hand movements, however, became increasingly presumptuous.

His thumb quietly caressed Bing Xue'er's lips.

The faint, icy sensation coming from her fingertips was delightful.

Gu Hanyuan had indeed not threatened her.

But because she had a request of him,

she was inevitably being manipulated.

Unless Bing Xue'er did not intend to avenge Hu Yidao anymore.

Of course, more importantly, she had long decided to follow Hu Yidao after taking her revenge.

As long as it was not too excessive,

being taken advantage of a little was tolerable.

She would just treat it as compensation for breaking her own promise.

However, Bing Xue'er had not been in contact with men for many years.

Her body's natural reactions were difficult to suppress.

Her pretty face gradually flushed red.

Seeing the anger gradually rising in Bing Xue'er's beautiful eyes,

Gu Hanyuan immediately stopped while he was ahead.

He sighed helplessly and said:

"I have already understood your will, Madam. Once the matters of the Wen family are settled, I will head north to the Qing Guo. If you have nothing else to do, you may accompany me; I will naturally find an opportunity to help you take your revenge then."

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan did not shirk the request, Bing Xue'er was slightly surprised.

She even selectively forgot the earlier impropriety.

Bing Xue'er pondered and said:

"Once I have settled Fei'er, I will go to the Qing Guo with you."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction:

"Since that is the case, I will not disturb your rest, Madam."

Bing Xue'er watched Gu Hanyuan's departing back.

The breath she had been holding suddenly relaxed.

She muttered to herself in a daze:

"Brother Hu, is it really right for me to do this just to avenge you?"

It was not that she had not considered the danger of traveling with Gu Hanyuan.

But she was even less willing to give up the hope of revenge.

Having raised Hu Fei alone for so many years,

guarding the secret of the Chuang Wang treasure,

and still having to search for the murderer who killed Hu Yidao,

the pressure of many years had left her physically and mentally exhausted.

She longed for liberation,

even if it meant paying a certain price.

Gu Hanyuan was not in a hurry with Bing Xue'er.

He had merely teased her a little.

As for Wen Yi, he struck while the iron was hot,

sneaking into her room once again.

Regrettably, Wen Qingqing did not stay in Wen Yi's room tonight.

Although it was a little less interesting,

Wen Yi was clearly much more open.

She found it increasingly difficult to resist Gu Hanyuan now,

granting almost every request.

The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

With a complex expression, Wen Yi panted softly:

"Young Master Gu, if we continue like this, what will happen to Qingqing?"

It was not that Wen Yi lacked a strong side,

but she was, on the whole, still a weak woman.

Perhaps it was because she was accustomed to enduring adversity.

Gu Hanyuan's affection over the past few days made her heart waver even more.

The news that Xia Xueyi was dead shattered her last shred of luck.

The thought of dying for love was also smashed to pieces by Gu Hanyuan.

Through the ages, the hardest thing is to die.

When there was no hope,

Wen Yi could still muster the courage to die for love.

Now that she had someone to rely on,

where would she find the courage to go see Xia Xueyi with a heart full of guilt?

Wen Yi gradually let go of her longing and feelings for Xia Xueyi,

considering the future more.

How to handle the relationship between the three of them became an insurmountable hurdle.

After much thought,

although her heart was reluctant,

Wen Yi still decided to retreat.

She would treat the experiences of these past few days as a beautiful dream.
