"You like me?...Why? We have known each other for a while?"

She simply asked straightforwardly.

Gu Wanqing personally feels that she has no hormones that can attract ignorant teenagers.

What's more, although Bai Jue is only twenty years old, he is not an ignorant boy.

"Five years are enough." Bai Jue said.

Another five years.

"Where did we meet five years ago? Tell me." Gu Wanqing was a little anxious.

She thought about it that day but she didn't recall it. She didn't know Bai Jue before, so she was very sure.

"That doesn't matter. You just need to remember now, it doesn't matter if you can't remember it."

"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? I, Gu Wanqing, don't have any childhood sweethearts. It's very common to get a wrong partner after many years."

Bai Jue stared at the eyes and looked at him, "If I admit my mistake, will you be disappointed?"

Gu Wanqing was a little embarrassed by this rhetorical question.

"I...I don't know. Don't ask me such questions..."

The answer is not "non" and Bai Jue only has a smile on his face.

"I won't admit my mistake. You can think carefully, I will wait for you."

He continued to walk with an umbrella.

But the pace at Gu Wanqing's feet was completely messy.

What does five years mean?

If he really knew each other for five years, if he really thought about her for five years, why did he choose to appear this year?

Why did we make a fool of ourselves like marrying Gu Xi?

Gu Wanqing held on, grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned over the horse.

"I'm a little upset, I'll go back first. I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, walk home by himself!——"

She galloped away in the wind and rain.

Bai Jue smiled helplessly, faced the lakeside, and stood in the rain for a long time.

...

Gu Wanqing returned to the mansion in a daze.

Xuan Ming was sleeping at the door and finally saw a figure.

"General, you're back. Lord Tao came to the mansion and asked you to go to Dali Temple in the evening and have something to discuss."

"knew."

Gu Wanqing took off the jade beads on her body and ordered her servants to prepare a hot bath.

She sat in the lobby, unsure.

Xuan Ming asked worriedly, "General, do you have a fever? Why do you blush like this?"

Gu Wanqing held her cheek and asked seriously: "Is my face really red?"

She suddenly felt that there was something in her heart that she could not deceive herself anymore.

"Yeah!" Xuan Ming nodded with certainty, "General, where did you go last night?"

"I'm with Bai Jue." Gu Wanqing's brain didn't have the extra energy to lie at this time.

"All night?"

"Um."

Xuan Ming was stunned.

"General! Could it be that you blushed because of Bai Jue-"

"Don't think about it." Gu Wanqing patted Xuan Ming's head, "It's just because... he said he wanted to come to marry me this morning."

Xuan Ming was shocked again, dumbfounded, "What, what?!"

This news can be said to be shocking.

Xuan Ming finally understood why every time Chu Hao mentioned his master and general, he looked like a thief.

It turns out that there was a premeditation.

"Is Bai Jue going to marry Miss Gu Xi to get close to the general?"

"I don't understand either. I don't know if he is sincere or has another conspiracy." Gu Wanqing lay on the table in distress.

Xuan Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked seriously: "Does the general like Bai Jue? During this period, the general seemed to be very concerned about him and had never been before."

"I used to think he was a merciless wolf and had no human nature. But later, I found out that he was not like that."

He is also gentle and sincere.

Especially after knowing Bai Jue’s past, it is even more impossible to regard him as a “bad person” as others’ words.

"That's what I like?"

"I don't know either."

Oh my God! Gu Wanqing only feels stupid now!

After living for so long, can’t you tell me if you like someone?

Is this the so-called authorities' mystery?

Or was she not originally planned to give love in this era, and then she suddenly became a little confused?

Gu Wanqing grabbed Xuan Ming's shoulder and took it to her, "You are not allowed to secretly tell Chu Hao what I said to you just now before I make a decision!"

Xuan Ming looked embarrassed with a look of being exposed, "I... can't do it."

"Forget it, I can rest while I'm still there. Ruohong should be able to come back today."

"Has Bai Jue agreed to release the person?"

"Well, today."

"It seems that Bai Jue is not bad. He fulfilled his promise before the prescribed day. He is not a hypocrite. He has great power, well... From this point of view, he is quite compatible with the general." Xuan Ming said with a smile.

Gu Wanqing rolled her eyes to Xuan Ming, who was turning her elbow outward.

It turns out that a girl is really not a big one!

...

Gu Wanqing took a nap for a moment.

Xuan Ming excitedly announced that Ruohong is really back.

Gu Wanqing hurriedly put on her cloak to greet her.

Ruohong wore a black cloak, and there were also wind-facing pleated marks that had just returned from a fast horse.

She knelt down on her knees and saluted, "Greetings to the general!"

Gu Wanqing caught her elbow and looked left and right to see if Ruohong was injured.

Fortunately, there were no external injuries, and it seemed that the skin color was slightly darker.

"Ruohong, you have suffered during this period."

Gu Wanqing's eyes were filled with tears, and so was Ruhong.

Xuan Ming had already cried with joy from the side, hugged Ruohong and cried, "Fortunately, you are finally back!"

The three of them looked like sisters who had been separated for a long time, and they didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.

Even though Ruohong is just one of her subordinates, she has treated her sincerely since the beginning.

"Thank you, General Xuan Ming, for your concern, I'm fine. They didn't hurt me and made things difficult for me, but just locked me in the dungeon, eating and drinking every day, without neglecting it." Ruohong said.

Gu Wanqing's smile instantly condensed, "Dungeon?"

Ruohong nodded and said without hesitation: "Well. It's the dungeon of the Hou Mansion."

The smile on the corner of Gu Wanqing's lips slowly faded, "Have you been interrogated before?"

"No. I'm fine. I'm in there and worried about the general, but I thought, they didn't hurt me. They would definitely not make things difficult for the general."

Xuan Ming interrupted her, "It's not so. In order to save you, the general was threatened by Bai Jue and did a lot of things for him. That's why Bai Jue let you go."

After hearing this, Ruohong felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Although she had known it for a long time, she still felt guilty when facing the sincere gazes of Xuan Ming and Gu Wanqing.

"General, I have a bad life, so you don't have to make things difficult for me."

"You work hard for me and I am my person. I guarantee you are the one who deserves it. If you have two days off, there may be tasks later."

"yes."

After Ruohong stepped down, Xuan Ming noticed that Gu Wanqing's expression was different.

"General, what's wrong?"

"What?"

"Ruohong comes back, don't you seem very happy?"

Gu Wanqing smiled bitterly, "I just suddenly felt that human hearts have never been as simple as I thought. It is very uncomfortable to see through this simple truth every time I see through it."
