Chapter 751

"But everyone who has gone to Xiake Island before has never come back."

870

Even though Bai Bai Axiu could hear the confidence in Gu Gu Hanyuan's words,

it still did not ease the worry in her heart.

Gu Gu Hanyuan asked softly:

"Sister Bai Axiu, are you worried I won't come back?"

"Mm."

Bai Bai Axiu gave a soft reply.

After a moment of worried thought,

a sudden flush of crimson spread across her cheeks.

Yet with a resolute expression she said:

"Brother Gu, I know you're not the sort of man who runs from things, and I can't talk you out of it. So I'll wait for you here, no matter how long. If I can't wait until you come back, I'll leap off the cliff and follow you."

She had always been gentle on the outside but steel within.

Once her heart was set,

she possessed her own steadfast resolve and chastity.

Hearing this, the look in Gu Gu Hanyuan's eyes unconsciously softened a great deal.

He said gently:

"Sister Bai Axiu, I will definitely come back."

"Brother Gu…"

Bai Bai Axiu called out softly.

Her jade-like face broke into a lovely smile.

She lifted her delicate, fair countenance,

and pecked a kiss on the corner of Gu Gu Hanyuan's lips.

A strange, unnamed light shimmered in her eyes.

Gu Gu Hanyuan understood her meaning in an instant.

Although it was exactly what he wanted,

he still asked gently:

"Sister Bai Axiu, would I be wronging you?"

Bai Bai Axiu replied, shy yet resolute:

"Not wronged at all. I'm afraid I won't live to see the day I share the bridal chamber with Brother Gu."

Gu Gu Hanyuan paid no heed to her words,

yet he was not so boorish as to miss the mood.

He gave Bai Bai Axiu a tender smile,

and gently laid her down.
