Because every word from Gu Li involved Gu Sheng, it made Gu Yao feel somewhat resistant, and she also found it ridiculous.
Gu Sheng is her brother, but just her brother. She didn’t understand why Gu Li had to tie her feelings so closely to her second brother.
"Just what? Just that I’m not allowed to like Shangguan Yu? So if I find someone else, it’s okay? As long as it’s not Shangguan Yu, anyone else is fine, right?"
If Gu Li dared to answer yes, then she could be sure that they were hiding something from her.
Her first meeting with Shangguan Yu was definitely not at her own birthday party two years ago.
"Yaoyao!" Gu Yao’s self-deprecating sarcasm angered Gu Li.
Looking at Gu Yao’s stubborn face, Gu Li was filled with a sense of helplessness.
"Fine, you just ask him if this is true."
"Yes." She just wanted to know if the one Shangguan Yu was calling out for was her, everything else wasn’t as important to her.
"Then I’ll immediately return to the United Kingdom." Before Gu Li could finish, Gu Yao interrupted.
"Do you really have to empty your heart entirely before you’ll give up?"
"..." Gu Yao bit her lip, her eyes red, saying nothing.
She had her own persistence that others couldn’t understand, no matter how much you said.
"Silly girl, love that’s begged for will not last nor will it be happy. If you are humble in love by even a bit, you’ll suffer immeasurable hardships."
"No matter how much hardship, I’ll accept it." She replied.
Gu Li sighed, knowing that saying anything was useless. Gu Yao had been stubborn since she was a child, and meeting Shangguan Yu only made her more tenacious.
"Do you want me to stay with you?" Helplessly, Gu Li could only compromise.
"No need, I can handle it myself, just that my second brother..." She worried that Gu Sheng would find his way to the hospital.
"I’ll contact him in a moment. Once Shangguan Yu wakes up and you have your answers, call me."
After finishing, Gu Li looked at Gu Yao for a while, sighed, and then turned to leave.
He took out his phone and dialed Gu Sheng’s number, only to find it powered off.
Could he be on a plane?
Gu Li thought the likelihood of Gu Sheng being on a plane at this moment was the highest.
If he’s come back, something’s bound to happen again.
Gu Li couldn’t relax, so he arranged for people to watch over Gu Yao at the hospital and also sent someone to the airport.
Gu Yao stood there alone for a long time, finally drying her tears, composed herself, and walked towards Shangguan Yu’s hospital room.
She had just reached the doorway when she encountered a familiar face.
The adjutant, seeing Gu Yao suddenly appear, initially thought he was seeing things.
"Miss Gu, you’re not abroad?" The adjutant looked puzzled.
Gu Yao was taken aback, then slightly furrowed her brow, feigning confusion, "Abroad? Since when? How come I don’t know that I’ve gone abroad?"
"Our boss clearly said you went abroad..." The adjutant suddenly realized what he had said, and his voice trailed off, finally shutting up completely.
"How does he know I went abroad?" Apart from her family, only Ais knew about her going abroad.
Seeing Gu Yao’s questioning gaze, the adjutant finally realized he had been set up.
"Uh, no, I... actually... he, I... don’t know."
"Then why did he mention my going abroad to you? Does he usually talk about me in front of you?" Gu Yao’s tone was almost certain, thinking of Shangguan Yu’s face which had thinned considerably, her recently calmed heart stirred again.
