Chapter 705: Guo Fu, who had won a round

Guo Fu's expression was dim.

Her bright, beautiful face was as pale as a withered delicate flower.

She murmured desolately:

"Can I really be wronged just for the sake of the greater good of the country?"

Previously, because she had kept the matter of Huang Rong and Gu Hanyuan from Guo Jing,

she had felt extremely guilty in her heart.

Yet at this moment, that guilt had turned into something laughable.

She also suddenly understood

why, before meeting Gu Hanyuan,

despite Huang Rong and Guo Jing being so loving,

in such a short time,

she had chosen to have a change of heart.

In Guo Jing's heart, the first priority would always be the greater good of the country.

Family could only rank second.

Huang Rong had sacrificed her youth for Guo Jing,

and now Guo Fu also had to sacrifice her love for Guo Jing.

Huang Rong had long anticipated this.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Since she first met Gu Hanyuan,

she had come to understand him more and more.

Even though Gu Hanyuan had never spoken ill of Guo Jing,

she often asked herself about the differences between the two.

Guo Jing would choose to sacrifice his loved ones for the greater good of the country,

but Gu Hanyuan would absolutely never do such a thing.

He was very overbearing.

As for the country and beautiful women,

he would only choose to have them both.

Huang Rong looked silently at the calm-faced Gu Hanyuan.

She believed in him.

"This..."

Guo Jing listened to Guo Fu's sad and desolate voice.

For a moment, he was speechless.

No matter what his reasons were,

they could not cover up the fact that he had wronged Guo Fu for the greater good of the country.

The atmosphere in the air was heavy.

Until a mocking sneer broke the silence.

Under Huang Rong's expectant gaze, Gu Hanyuan said aloud:

"Hero Guo, there is no need to say more. I will absolutely never fail Fu'er. A man stands between heaven and earth, and fame and fortune should be attained by one's own efforts. If it requires wronging Fu'er to protect Song Guo, then such a country is not worth having."

Guo Fu stared blankly at the white-clad figure beside her.

He seemed to be radiating a charming light.

Guo Fu murmured with a dazed look in her eyes:

"Brother Gu..."

A moving radiance also bloomed in Huang Rong's eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled into a vivid arc.

Looking at her resolute lover at this moment,

she thought to herself:

"Husband, I know you will never disappoint me."

Guo Jing's mind was completely drawn in by Gu Hanyuan's words.

He once again ignored Huang Rong's unusual expression.

He had also heard many of Gu Hanyuan's deeds,

believing that Gu Hanyuan was likewise a hero with a heart for the greater good.

Seeing him righteously reject his proposal at this moment,

he urged him with a feeling of frustration that he could not achieve his expectations:

"Why must Young Master Gu be so impulsive? I also feel heartache for Fu'er, but the greater good of the country is more important."

Gu Hanyuan did not answer Guo Jing directly.

He reached out and gently stroked the hair on top of Guo Fu's head. ===== CHAPTER 707 =====
