Chapter 1688

She had been keeping an eye on the time Gu Hanyuan returned to the inner courtyard after the banquet ended.

She wanted to find Gu Hanyuan to accept punishment under the pretext that she hadn't practiced her martial arts well yesterday.

And then take the opportunity of accepting punishment to get close to him.

However, Long Xiaoyun hadn't intercepted him in the courtyard, nor had she found him in Gu Hanyuan's room.

She subconsciously guessed that Gu Hanyuan had gone to her mother's place.

Long Xiaoyun went to Lin Shiyin's boudoir with a hesitant mood.

As a result, she unexpectedly discovered that neither Gu Hanyuan nor Lin Shiyin was there.

While confirming that it was indeed very likely that the two were together, Long Xiaoyun was also puzzled as to where they had gone.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration led her to think of the Cold Fragrance Pavilion.

The relationship between Sun Xiaohong and Lin Shiyin was average.

But Lin Xian'er was, on the surface, Lin Shiyin's good little sister.

And although she hated Lin Xian'er, Lin Xian'er was indeed very beautiful.

It was normal for Gu Hanyuan to take a fancy to her.

However, this made Long Xiaoyun angry.

It was one thing for Lin Shiyin to steal away her beloved Master.

After all, she was the mother she had once been closest to.

But who do you think you are, Lin Xian'er?

Long Xiaoyun hadn't decided whether she should have a showdown with Lin Shiyin, nor did she know what she should do after a showdown.

Ask Lin Shiyin to leave Gu Hanyuan?

Not to mention whether Lin Shiyin would be sad.

She was more worried about whether Gu Hanyuan would be angry.

Just thinking of Gu Hanyuan's cold attitude when they first met gave Long Xiaoyun a feeling of shivering.

It was hard to imagine Gu Hanyuan, with whom she was now intimate, getting angry at her and putting on a cold face.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyun's idea was to work hard to regain Gu Hanyuan's attention and make his gaze fall upon her.

If their relationship could go a step further, that would be even better.

In reality, Long Xiaoyun was still a bit ignorant about how to go about it.

Lin Shiyin had originally wanted to instruct Long Xiaoyun on matters concerning young ladies, but that had also ended without a conclusion because her mood had been disrupted by Gu Hanyuan's forceful intrusion.

Long Xiaoyun just subconsciously felt that she needed to be closer and more intimate with Gu Hanyuan.

She recalled the process of acting like a spoiled child toward Gu Hanyuan when she was begging to learn the "Cloud-Shattering Palm" back then.

She had left quite a few kisses on Gu Hanyuan's handsome side profile.

Especially that final dragonfly-like kiss, which was the key to her heart's first romantic stirrings.

And that customary punishment process had gradually awakened her instincts.

All Long Xiaoyun could think of was to take the initiative to do these things more often.

In any case, the situation between Lin Shiyin and Gu Hanyuan was already a fait accompli.

Long Xiaoyun didn't want to irrationally destroy it.

But she couldn't tolerate Lin Xian'er.

Therefore, Long Xiaoyun went to the Cold Fragrance Pavilion with a gloomy face.

The anger in the eyes of Long Xiaoyun, who had originally wanted to hold them accountable, was replaced by disbelief.

Long Xiaoyun returned to her room in a daze, not knowing when it happened.

The images she had seen through the crack in the door kept flashing through her mind.

Her mother, who was always gentle, kind, and dignified, could actually be so subservient.

Yet, that expression of finding pleasure in it showed that she didn't find it repulsive.

And Gu Hanyuan's expression of pleasure and comfort proved that what Lin Shiyin and Lin Xian'er were doing was correct.

Long Xiaoyun, who had been led astray, thought that this was the correct way to please Gu Hanyuan.

As for what Gu Hanyuan had done to her before, she feared he had only treated her as a little girl.

A fire ignited in Long Xiaoyun's heart.

Unwillingness, jealousy, and anger turned into fuel, burning brighter and brighter.
