Chapter 197 Can't Marry Him

He may not be able to understand the disputes and conspiracies in the adult world, and it is even more difficult for him to detect the abnormalities hidden beneath the surface of daily life.

At that time, he only knew that his mother always accompanied him gently. As for whether his mother had any unspeakable pressure or subtle changes in her body, it was difficult for him to perceive accurately.

Suddenly, as if time had stopped, Gu Wenbo suddenly woke up as if from a long dream.

His deep, confused eyes slowly turned to He Yue beside him. His lips trembled slightly as he spoke with difficulty, "Ah Yue, why... are you so interested in my mother's affairs? What is the reason behind this that makes you so persistent in asking?"

At this moment, the air around them seemed to become solemn, and a subtle silence fell between the two.

He Yue was a little overwhelmed by Gu Wenbo's sudden question. Her beautiful face flushed instantly and her eyes flickered. She seemed to want to avoid the topic, but she felt unable to avoid Gu Wenbo's gaze full of doubt and inquiry.

At this moment, the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open a crack, and then a tall and upright figure appeared at the door.

This person was Gu Mingbai. He walked into the room in a hurry, looking straight at He Yue who was sitting on the chair, his face full of anxiety and concern.

"Ayue!" Gu Mingbai walked quickly towards He Yue and asked impatiently, "Do you know something? Tell me quickly! Is Ayan still alive..."

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, as if this issue was of vital importance to him, even concerning the stability of his entire world.

Gu Wenbo's eyes, full of doubt and inquiry, were like two sharp arrows, shooting straight at He Yue who was standing there.

There was an indescribable strangeness in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through He Yue's appearance and penetrate the secrets hidden deep in her heart.

At this time, He Yue turned her gaze to Gu Mingbai who was approaching step by step.

When Gu Mingbai finally reached her, He Yue gently bent down, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I truly do not know if she is still alive. I... was only out of momentary curiosity, so I asked so presumptuously. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When saying this, He Yue lowered her beautiful eyes, not daring to look at Gu Mingbai, for fear of seeing a hint of dissatisfaction or blame in the other's eyes.

Gu Mingbai sighed deeply with a look of loneliness on his face: "Ah...that's all!"

He slowly shook his head, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul. "You don't even know Ayan, so how could you possibly know the reason? If Ayan were still alive, she would definitely come back to visit us father and son."

"Even if she harbors resentment towards me and doesn't want to see me again, she wouldn't be so cruel as to abandon her own son."

At this point, Gu Mingbai's voice trembled slightly, his eyes gradually turned red, tears welled up in them, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

He Yue stood aside, looking at the person in front of her with a sad face, feeling extremely anxious, but not knowing where to start to persuade him.

She walked lightly to the table, silently picked up the teapot, and filled a cup of steaming hot tea for him.

Then, she carefully handed the teacup to him and said softly, "Have a cup of tea first to moisten your throat."

Gu Mingbai, who was sitting on the chair, took the teacup, looked at He Yue gratefully, and took a sip of hot tea.

After calming down a bit, Gu Wenbo looked at Gu Mingbai beside him and said gently, "Father, please stop imagining this. Mother has always been so kind and gentle, and her love for us has never changed. Besides, how could she possibly hate you? You've just recovered from an illness and are still very weak. It's really not appropriate for you to overwork and worry! It's more important to take good care of yourself."

After saying that, he gently patted his father's shoulder, hoping to convey some warmth and strength.

Gu Mingbai nodded slightly in agreement. He then turned his gaze to He Yue, who was sitting across from him, and said gently, "Ah Yue, come sit over here, let's have a good chat. I really want to know what you really think. Regarding your relationship with Ah Zhi, is there still a possibility for you to continue and be together again?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted the seat next to him, motioning He Yue to come over and sit down.

He Yue lowered her head slightly, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was going through a fierce struggle in her heart.

After a while, she took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, looked at the person in front of her with a determined gaze, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to obey your command and I cannot marry Ah Zhi."

"As for the details of this matter, I really do not wish to elaborate. Furthermore, I would like to ask Your Majesty for permission to depart tomorrow and return to Yudu."

After saying this, she bowed again to show her determination and sincerity.

Gu Wenbo and Gu Mingbai looked at He Yue's determined expression, feeling helpless.

They knew that saying anything more would be of no use at this point, because He Yue had made up her mind, and it seemed that no one could change her mind.

The two looked at each other, exchanging complicated looks.

Gu Wenbo frowned slightly and moved his lips, as if he wanted to try to persuade her again, but in the end he shook his head and silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Gu Mingbai sighed softly. He knew that once He Yue decided on something, she would do it without hesitation and it would be difficult for others to stop her.

So, after this brief silence, Gu Wenbo and Gu Mingbai could only choose to respect He Yue's decision and no longer interfere too much with her actions.

Although they still have some concerns in their hearts, they understand that sometimes letting go is also a form of support.

Gu Wenzhi was struck by lightning when he heard the news. He never thought that He Yue was planning to leave tomorrow morning.

The loss and unwillingness in his heart surged into his heart like a tide, but in the end, emotion overcame reason. He could no longer suppress his inner impulse, and hurriedly ran towards where He Yue was.

When he arrived breathlessly, he saw He Yue sitting quietly in the room. That beautiful and familiar face seemed a little strange at this moment.

The two sat face to face like this, no one spoke for a while, and a suffocating silence filled the room.
