Chapter 319 My matter is extremely urgent, please come again tomorrow night.
Gu Junze almost lost control of his expression.
He patiently said, "Han'er and I have been separated for several months, and it's not easy for us to reunite."
"What urgent matter do you have to say tonight? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
"no!"
Song Ruyan spoke with unwavering conviction and unusual firmness.
"My matter is extremely urgent, it concerns my life and fortune, I must come tonight! Come again tomorrow night!"
"You..." Gu Junze was speechless with anger. What was all this about?
He was too lazy to waste any more words with her, so he grabbed Chu Ruohan's hand and started to walk inside.
"Hey hey!"
Upon seeing this, Song Ruyan suddenly rushed into the bedroom, grabbed the bedpost with both hands and feet, and started acting like a rogue.
"Nobody's getting me out of here today! I've got this bed!"
Gu Junze's temple throbbed. He took a deep breath and called out, "Ying Qing!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Yingqing appeared at the door.
Gu Junze pointed at Song Ruyan, who was clinging to the bedpost like an octopus: "Get her out of here."
Ying Qing's lips twitched, clearly feeling somewhat helpless about the situation, but she still obeyed the order and stepped forward.
Song Ruyan was no match for Ying Qing, but she held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Yu Ling!" Gu Junze called out again.
Yu Ling quickly ran in as well, and upon seeing the scene, she immediately understood seven or eight parts of it.
She strode forward and pulled at Song Ruyan in an annoyed manner.
"Grandma! What are you up to now? Come with me right now! Don't disturb the General and his wife's rest!"
Yingqing and Yuling worked together, one pulling on the arm and the other on the leg.
They managed to "tear" Song Ruyan, who refused to let go, off the bedpost and dragged her outside.
"Let me go! Young mistress, help me! My innocence..." Song Ruyan was still struggling and shouting in vain.
Yuling dragged him along while berating him: "Innocence? I think you're still drunk! Go back to sleep!"
The bedroom was finally quiet again.
Chu Ruohan looked at Gu Junze's tense face and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Alright, don't be angry. That's just how Ruyan is."
Gu Junze sighed helplessly, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with a mixture of weariness and tenderness.
"Finally, we can have some peace and quiet for a while."
He held her hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, as if he wanted to make up for the months he had missed.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the two figures leaning against each other.
After a brief silence, Chu Ruohan's smile gradually faded, and her expression became serious.
"Junze, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Junze also dropped his earlier ease and looked at her earnestly: "What is it?"
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Regarding Prince Su... I have a guess."
She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, and said in a very low voice, "I suspect that the current Prince Su may not be the real Prince Su."
Gu Junze's pupils contracted slightly, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
"I suspect... he might be Gu Chengyan."
Gu Junze's face instantly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He didn't immediately refute it, but pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you have such a guess?"
Chu Ruohan recounted the various details she had observed over the past few days, as well as the unusual behavior of Prince Su towards her.
He also recounted the subtle changes in his style of doing things.
"Although it's just speculation without any evidence, I always feel that he reminds me too much of Gu Chengyan."
“If he really is Gu Chengyan, then the real Prince Su…” Chu Ruohan didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Junze listened intently, his brows furrowed.
Chu Ruohan's guess was not unfounded; he had also felt that the current Prince Su was targeting him.
They had never crossed paths before, let alone become enemies.
I just never thought about it in depth.
If Prince Su is indeed Gu Chengyan in disguise, then his infiltration is deep and his schemes are grand.
He was even more powerful than the Marquis of Anyang, which was truly astonishing.
"Gu Chengyan is indeed a huge hidden danger."
Gu Junze said in a deep voice, "If Prince Su is really him, then he is currently in a high position and holds power. We really can't touch him for the time being."
He patted Chu Ruohan's hand, his eyes firm: "Han'er, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this matter carefully."
As night deepened, insects chirped softly outside the window.
Gu Junze pulled Chu Ruohan into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, inhaling the familiar fragrance of her hair.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few months."
"It's good that we're all doing well." Chu Ruohan snuggled against him, her voice tinged with weariness.
"Go to bed early."
Gu Junze lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
The next morning.
Chu Ruohan rubbed her eyes and opened the door, only to see a figure huddled on the threshold.
He looked at her pitifully, with huge dark circles under his eyes.
"Young Madam, you're finally out!"
Upon seeing her, Song Ruyan rushed over as if she had seen a savior, exclaiming, "I've been waiting for you all night!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Chu Ruohan's face.
Waited all night?
That must be... the noise from inside the house last night...
She coughed lightly to cover her discomfort: "Uh, you... what do you want from me?"
Song Ruyan immediately perked up and mysteriously pulled Chu Ruohan to a corner of the courtyard, away from the eyes of others.
"Young Madam, this is about Doctor Qian!"
She lowered her voice and recounted how Dr. Qian had confessed his feelings to her the night before.
She recounted her panic and how she dislocated the man's arm in one breath.
"...He said he loves me and wants to take responsibility for me, but I...I don't know what to do?"
Song Ruyan looked bewildered, clearly confused by this sudden "matters between men and women".
Chu Ruohan was both amused and exasperated after hearing this.
She looked into Song Ruyan's clear yet confused eyes and asked, "Then... do you like Dr. Qian?"
"I like them!" Song Ruyan nodded without hesitation. "I like you and Yuling, young mistress!"
Chu Ruohan: "..."
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a wave of weakness wash over her.
“How can these be the same?” she explained patiently. “My affection for you and your affection for Yuling are based on friendship and sisterly love.”
"Dr. Qian's affection for you is romantic; it's the kind of affection where he wants to settle down with you, build a career together, and spend his life with you."
"You're completely clueless when it comes to romantic relationships," Chu Ruohan sighed.
"Never mind," she said, looking at the still bewildered Song Ruyan. "If you don't have romantic feelings for Dr. Qian right now, you should make it clear to him as soon as possible, so as not to delay him."
