Gu Xiyue responded, then looked at Tang Yun, "Aunt Tang, I have something to attend to and must leave."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yun was initially stunned, but then she said, "You’re leaving so soon? You haven’t even had breakfast. Have your meal before you go. I’ll reheat the leftovers from last night’s dinner for you; it’ll be quick."
As she spoke, Tang Yun immediately turned and headed toward the kitchen.
"There’s no need," Gu Xiyue immediately spoke up to stop her, "I’m in a hurry and must leave right away."
"How can that be? Traveling on an empty stomach, especially when it’s a long journey, your stomach won’t be able to handle it," Tang Yun said as she made her way into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyue walked to the entrance of the kitchen and stood firm, "I’m going to the town first and will eat there."
At that, Tang Yun stopped trying to open the fridge.
"Did Master tell you that we are moving to Jiang City?" Gu Xiyue remembered what Yue Lan had told her the previous night and asked.
"She told you? I was thinking of telling you when we were about to leave," Tang Yun said somewhat uneasily.
"Mhm," Gu Xiyue hummed softly in acknowledgment, then she continued, "I will take care of Gu Chengan’s situation, so you don’t need to worry about his matters anymore."
Tang Yun paused for a moment, then nodded.
Having said all that needed to be said, Gu Xiyue looked at Tang Yun and added, "Then, I will take my leave now."
"Alright, take care on the road."
Gu Xiyue nodded and turned towards the door to leave.
Seeing this, Tang Yun immediately followed her out of the kitchen.
Gu Xiyue walked out, but as she approached the entrance, she suddenly stopped and turned to glance back at Tang Yun, "If you encounter any troubles, you can call me."
As Tang Yun listened to Gu Xiyue’s words, it took her a moment to react before she managed to nod, "Alright."
Gu Xiyue turned and exited the living room, her figure quickly disappearing at the doorway.
Tang Yun followed to the doorway only to find Gu Xiyue already at the main gate. Tang Yun ran after her calling out, "Yueyue!"
Gu Xiyue stopped at the gate, turning back to look at Tang Yun, "Aunt Tang, is there something else?"
Tang Yun saw her turn around, her lips moved as she observed her current state, but ultimately, she gently shook her head, "Be careful on your way."
Gu Xiyue nodded then turned to step out of the gate.
It was not until Gu Xiyue’s figure was out of sight that Tang Yun let out a soft sigh.
Originally, she wanted to ask about what happened five years ago.
Five years earlier, she had signed a five-year agreement with Gu Bo.
At that time, Gu Bo’s paralysis was not so severe; only his legs were paralyzed, he could speak, and his hands were still mobile.
Then one day, Gu Xiyue and Gu Bo got into a fight.
It happened in the backyard. By the time Tang Yun got there, Gu Bo was already covered in blood, and Gu Xiyue was relentlessly pounding punch after punch into him.
When she pulled Gu Xiyue away, Gu Xiyue’s fists were covered in blood, her eyes filled with a murderous rage.
That day, if not for her intervention, Gu Xiyue would certainly have beaten Gu Bo to death.
Even after she pulled them apart, Gu Xiyue kept struggling, intent on continuing to hit Gu Bo.
In the end, it was Yue Lan who convinced Gu Xiyue to leave.
Thanks to the agreement, Tang Yun had saved Gu Bo’s life, and afterward, she never asked Gu Xiyue why she wanted to take Gu Bo’s life.
Later on, the question remained unasked.
Just now, she had wanted to ask, but seeing Gu Xiyue’s current demeanor, Tang Yun chose not to say anything.
No matter what happened five years ago, Gu Bo was deceased, and the child was living well. Why dwell on an unimportant answer that would only remind the child of those unhappy memories?
