Mu Yunhan chased after him: "Don't you want to go back tonight?"
Gu Fenglin stopped and looked at her seriously: "You want me to stay?"
Mu Yunhan was very conflicted.
Of course she hopes he can stay, she really likes him and enjoys being with him.
But she was afraid that he would find the injury on her hand and cause more trouble.
At present, he has not recovered from his serious injury, and he has not really obtained the position of Minister of Taichang Temple yet. She does not want him to go crazy and take risks again.
Mu Yunhan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of how he was covered in blood and dying that day at the Prince's Mansion.
She hugged his waist tightly, pressed her face against his chest, and whispered softly: "With you, I am not afraid of anything no matter how difficult it is."
"I understand." The hostility in Gu Fenglin's eyes gradually faded. He hugged her tightly and said softly: "Me too."
"But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you tonight." He said gently: "I still have things to deal with, so I can't stay here."
"I'll take you back." It had to be said that Mu Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief.
She wasn't sure if he was suspicious, if he really believed her story.
But it is undeniable that he chose a way to make it easier for each other.
If she kept asking and forcing her, she couldn't predict what would happen.
You may lose control, you may quarrel, you may get angry.
Being so gentle and smart made her just want to be nicer to him.
"Okay." Gu Fenglin touched Mu Yunhan's cheek and did not refuse.
The narrow secret passage is quite spacious for one person walking alone, but seems cramped for two people walking side by side.
Mu Yunhan was afraid of bumping into Gu Fenglin, so he leaned as close to the wall as possible to make his side more spacious.
Gu Fenglin suddenly stopped and put his arms on the wall to trap her.
Mu Yunhan didn't expect him to make such a sudden move. He stood against the wall like a pitiful little boy, looking up at him and stammering: "What are you doing?"
The light in the secret passage was dim, and his handsome face was half in shadow and half in light, which touched people's hearts in a different way.
Mu Yunhan put her hand on his face and whispered, "Doesn't the wound hurt when you are like this?"
Gu Fenglin did not answer her question and only said: "How about you go back and don't send her away."
"Why?" Mu Yunhan was puzzled. He seemed very happy just now.
Gu Fenglin lowered his head, gently touched her forehead, and whispered: "You send me there, and you come back alone later. I'm worried. What should I do if I want to send you back again?"
Mu Yunhan almost said: "Then if I don't come back, I'll stay with you over there."
When the words came to her mouth, she stopped rationally and said obediently: "Okay. I will listen to you."
Gu Fenglin glanced at her from between his eyelashes, his face looking a bit foul.
Mu Yunhan looked at his brilliant giggle: "Alin, I like you."
He was silent for a moment, as if he was relieved, smiled and ruffled her hair vigorously: "I know, go back."
"I'll watch you go away here." Mu Yunhan kissed the corner of his lips and watched him leave.
After he walked away, she quietly followed him, watching his back from a distance. She didn't stop until she saw him reaching the end, turned around and walked back.
Gu Fenglin got out of the secret passage, turned around and closed the door. Looking back, he happened to see Mu Yunhan running away, looking very happy.
He smiled, closed the door gently, and leaned against the door motionless, with murderous intent in his eyes. (To be continued)
