Chapter 1373: Chapter 1374: Gu Yelin’s Purpose (1)
The woman, frightened out of her wits, shook like a leaf, her eyes suddenly rolled back, and she fainted completely.
But Nan Tong didn’t have the luck to faint away his troubles. He looked at An Yiqing with an expressionless face, then at Yu Tianyou, who was fuming, and for the first time, he deeply hated the woman beside him who had fainted. Although Nan Tong loved to have fun, it didn’t mean he was stupid. He could fully imagine how furious the old master of his family would be when today’s incident spread!
Offending two aristocratic families in one breath, does this woman have any brains at all, how could she do such a foolish thing!
Nan Tong wished he could shake the woman awake and beat her severely, then throw her into the sea to feed the sharks. He was filled with regret over why he had ever taken a liking to such a foolish woman!
"Uh... haha, that, misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! Patriarch Yu, Miss An, all these things are this woman’s fault, I was just provoked by her, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll go apologize to the two little friends right now."
As Nan Tong spoke, he walked towards Yu Zifang and Yu Aiyuan, but was suddenly pulled back by An Yiqing.
"No need for Master Nan to be polite, the two little friends can’t handle such an apology. I will talk about this matter truthfully with the Old Master Nan, Master Nan, take care of yourself."
Having said that, An Yiqing flung Nan Tong aside, greeted Sun Xing, and turned to leave with Gu Yelin.
Such an incident happened to the two little buns, so Yu Tianyou and Liu Ruohua, the couple, lost their interest in attending the banquet and quickly left with the nanny.
The farce came to an end, yet everyone knew in their hearts that the confrontation between An Yiqing and Nan Tong had just begun.
Yu Family Old Residence, small courtyard.
In the quiet courtyard, there were neatly arranged exquisite wooden tables and chairs, the glistening beams and painted pillars full of ancient charm. Dappled sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, creating a sparkling mosaic on the ground, mesmerizing to behold.
Footsteps gradually approached, and An Zhifeng walked in from outside. When he saw the two quiet figures in the courtyard, he paused for a moment, then sensibly lightened his steps and quietly left.
"Why did you suddenly come to Jinyin City?" In the long corridor, An Yiqing sat on the bench, her head softly leaning against Gu Yelin’s firm and strong shoulder. She took a deep breath, filled with the familiar masculine scent she knew so well, and a sense of security welled up in her heart. She hadn’t seen him for almost a month, and it wasn’t until now, with him sitting by her side, that An Yiqing realized how much she missed him.
Gu Yelin held An Yiqing’s shoulder tightly, his thin lips affectionately kissing her forehead over and over, "Just missed you, so I found an excuse to come."
"Oh? What excuse?"
"The investigation team sent from above for the Xuanqing Sect matter, I’m the person in charge."
Gu Yelin knew all about the things An Yiqing had done, and after learning she had handed over evidence of collusion between Xuanqing Sect and Jinyin City officials, he proactively suggested to Monarch Hua Zhifeng that he take charge of the investigation team. Gu Yelin actively proposed to handle this tricky issue, which Hua Zhifeng was only too eager to agree to, and promptly issued a secret order for Gu Yelin to be fully in charge of the investigation tasks.
"So, as the head of the investigation team, you’ll be staying in Jinyin City for some time?" An Yiqing raised her eyebrows, feeling somewhat amused and helpless. Her Ah Lin would find any excuse at any time to see her, despite being domineering, she couldn’t help but feel truly happy.
