"What is it?" Gu Li had a bad feeling.
"Second Brother said I hit my head and that’s why I can’t remember a lot of things. Tell me, have I only forgotten about him?"
From the first time she saw Shangguan Yu, she felt a sense of déjà vu. She always thought maybe it was love at first sight, but now she wasn’t so sure.
Every time Shangguan Yu saw her, he looked awkward and avoided her, as if he was afraid to meet her eyes.
Every man who got close to her faced a bad end, but Shangguan Yu was the only exception, and Second Brother kept tolerating him.
She always thought Second Brother was considering the Shangguan Family’s power and didn’t want to cause trouble for the family, but with his personality, when had he ever been afraid of causing trouble?
There must be something else she’s not remembering.
Did she have some connection with Shangguan Yu before?
No, she must have known Shangguan Yu before. They were both in the same generation with similar status, it was impossible they hadn’t met. Fresh chapters posted on novel✦fire.net
Gu Li’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened as he looked at Gu Yao’s anxious expression. Had Yaoyao remembered something?
"...Of course, you’ve only forgotten about your Second Brother."
"You’re lying to me. You’re all lying to me." Gu Yao was very emotional.
"Yaoyao, Yaoyao." Gu Li tightly grabbed her shoulders. "Calm down."
"Big Brother, Shangguan Yu feels something for me. He was just calling my name, telling me not to leave. It’s true, I heard it with my own ears." Gu Yao’s eyes were bright as she spoke these words.
A heart that had seemed ashen was reignited. This feeling of seeing hope was like being reborn.
To be secretly liked by the one you love, that’s truly the happiest thing in the world.
"Tell me, did I know him before, and does he like me but is afraid of Second Brother, so he keeps rejecting me?"
"Yaoyao, don’t be . You said yourself he was in a coma. He was mumbling; how can you be sure he was calling you?"
"That’s why I have to wait for him to wake up, I need to be clear about this."
"Yaoyao, don’t be foolish. If he’s afraid of Asheng and doesn’t dare to accept you, without the courage to be with you, even if you were with someone like that, you wouldn’t be happy. He can’t give you a sense of security. The road ahead is long, any little hardship could tear you apart. You should find someone who isn’t afraid of anything for your sake to take care of you for a lifetime." Actually, Gu Li knew in his heart that Shangguan Yu wasn’t afraid of Gu Sheng, he was just afraid of repeating past mistakes and hurting Gu Yao, and he was also afraid that Gu Yao might remember things because of him.
"Then tell me, if even Shangguan Yu doesn’t dare to be with me, who else would? In the whole Capital City, how many aren’t afraid of Second Brother, tell me."
Gu Yao’s words left Gu Li at a loss.
With Asheng around, how could he possibly let Gu Yao be with another man?
"Big Brother, I don’t care what kind of person Shangguan Yu is, whether he’s brave enough for me is not important. Even if we can’t end up together, it doesn’t matter. I just want to ask him whether he has me in his heart. That’s really important to me."
"Yaoyao, if you keep tangling with this, Asheng will really kill Shangguan Yu. For the sake of the one you love, let’s leave, okay?"
"Do I not even have the right to pursue my own happiness?" Gu Yao looked at Gu Li, her eyes somewhat cold, but even more filled with desolation.
