Chapter 708: Guo Fu: Could Mother be planning to monopolize him?

Guo Jing looked at the sky outside the window.

It turned out that night had fallen without him realizing it.

No wonder both women were flushed with wine and looked dazed.

He said apologetically to Gu Hanyuan:

"Young Master Gu, I am sorry. I spoke too much about the past on my own."

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly, looking refreshed:

"Guo Daxia, why say such things? Gu Mou is also very interested in the situation of Mongol Yuan. As a great enemy of the Central Plains, it is always good to know more."

A flash of deep thought crossed his eyes.

The situation in Mongol Yuan was even more complex than imagined,

especially since there were many doubts about Genghis Khan.

Guo Jing said somewhat helplessly:

"It is a pity that those were things from more than ten years ago. I also do not know what the specific situation is in Mongol Yuan now."

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"Guo Daxia is too modest. It still has quite a bit of reference value."

Back then, Guo Jing had almost married Princess Huazheng, the daughter of Genghis Khan,

and was also the sworn brother of Genghis Khan's fourth son, Tolui.

He was very close to the Golden Family,

so he knew many secrets of Mongol Yuan.

Gu Hanyuan's harvest tonight was not small.

Seeing the look of satisfaction on his face,

Guo Jing clearly put the previous unpleasantness behind him.

Knowing that he had a firm will,

he no longer forced the matter of the Xixia marriage proposal.

He sighed inwardly,

then laughed heartily again:

"The hour is late. Young Master Gu, why not stay at the manor for the night?"

Hearing this, a look of amusement flashed in the depths of Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He nodded in agreement.

"I would not dare to ask for what I desire."

Huang Rong had previously been influenced by Guo Jing's proposal for the Xixia marriage,

and was also moved by Gu Hanyuan's magnificent demeanor and aspirations.

Coupled with that mischievous hand,

for a moment, she was so moved that she only wanted to respond to Gu Hanyuan's deep affection and righteousness.

That was why she had gone to pick up the chopsticks, disregarding the danger of having her secret exposed.

Of course, afterwards, she was still so ashamed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

For a long while, she did not dare to look at the faces of Guo Jing and Gu Hanyuan.

Until she saw Guo Jing invite Gu Hanyuan to stay the night,

a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up.

Based on her understanding of Gu Hanyuan,

he would likely challenge her sense of shame again.

She gave Gu Hanyuan a subtle glare,

her beautiful face covered in a blush.

Her eyes were brimming like autumn water.

For a moment, one could not tell whether she was resisting or expectant.

Guo Jing still had injuries on his body,

and had drunk quite a bit of wine,

so he went back first.

Huang Rong, meanwhile, took Guo Fu to arrange a guest room for Gu Hanyuan.

Near the time of parting,

Guo Fu hugged Gu Hanyuan's arm quite reluctantly and acted like a spoiled child:

"Brother Gu, can you accompany me a little longer?"

Even after Gu Hanyuan's soothing,

her heart was still filled with unease and weakness.

Guo Fu had always revered Guo Jing as a hero who worked for the country and the people,

and had once felt guilty for hiding the matter between Huang Rong and Gu Hanyuan from Guo Jing.

If it were not for the fact that she also admired Huang Rong,

and Huang Rong usually doted on her quite a bit,

making their relationship closer than with Guo Jing,

and the object was her beloved whom she had deep roots of affection for,

how could she have chosen to hide it for them?

However, after today's events,

Guo Jing, for the sake of the greater good of the country,

ignored Guo Fu's feelings.

This gave her an epiphany in her heart.

Compared to Guo Jing, who wanted to sacrifice her love,

Gu Hanyuan, who was unwilling to fail her, was more important.

Without the guilt towards Guo Jing,

there only remained the desire to please her lover and the competitive spirit towards Huang Rong.

That was why she could not help but compete with Huang Rong,

and in the end, even won by a small margin.

At this moment, the taste that made her heart palpitate still lingered.

Gu Hanyuan comforted her gently:

"Fu'er, do not be anxious. I will stay in Xiangyang City for a few days and can accompany you well."

Guo Fu's eyes lit up.

The unease in her heart was also covered by surprise.

She cheered: ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
