Chapter 210 A Look in My Eyes Confirms It, I'm Not Really a Dog
In the Pine and Crane Courtyard of the Marquis of Xuanhua's residence!
"Wow, this is truly amazing! Look at this dog, it can actually read a book quietly by itself, it's simply unbelievable, it's outrageous!"
Jiang Mianmian looked surprised and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Oh my goodness, I really want to find a good artist right now to meticulously depict this amazing sight.
Another woman also marveled, her eyes fixed on Ai Ren, who was engrossed in reading a book, her gaze filled with curiosity and a desire to explore.
[Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity! The third brother strictly forbade anyone to talk about this, saying he was worried that if the Ninth Prince were to regain his human form one day, he might hold them accountable for this!]
Jiang Mianmian sighed and shook her head, feeling quite regretful that she couldn't capture such a rare moment.
【well……!】
[But it's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities once it spends more time with me. Hmph, at worst I'll just do it secretly and make sure it doesn't find out beforehand.]
Ai Ren was looking at the book in his hand, but the woman's chattering voice kept reaching his ears, making him feel annoyed and wanting to shut her up immediately!
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Ai Ren suddenly raised his head and barked loudly at her: "Woof woof woof..."
Ai Ren called out to Jiang Mianmian twice in a loud and urgent voice, sounding impatient.
However, due to the door-splitting blunder that happened today, Jiang Mianmian has already misunderstood Ai Ren's meaning.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Ai Ren stretched out his furry paws and gently and accurately pointed to a few words on a book.
What's amazing is that the meaning conveyed by these words is exactly what Ai Ren wanted to express to Jiang Mianmian.
Clearly, the clever Ai Ren hoped that Jiang Mianmian would take a serious look at the words in the book and stop her incessant rambling.
Gu Yunchen, who had been silently observing Ai Ren from the side, was startled when he saw its actions.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and had already taken precautions against it.
Without hesitation, he turned to the side, perfectly blocking Jiang Mianmian's view and successfully preventing her from seeing Ai Ren pointing at the words in the book with his claws.
At the same time, Jiang Mianmian only heard Ai Ren's cry, but was completely unaware of Ai Ren pointing at the book with his paw.
And so, by a twist of fate, Jiang Mianmian missed this precious opportunity to learn the so-called "truth".
Gu Yunchen remained outwardly calm and composed, casually saying to Jiang Mianmian:
“Mother, my sister-in-law just mentioned that Xiao Le’an has woken up and is crying for her grandma! Don’t you think we should go and see her now?”
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Mianmian immediately beamed with joy and said, "Haha, really? Oh dear, it turns out my darling grandson Xiao Le'an misses his grandma! That's terrible, I have to go see my little darling right away!"
Jiang Mianmian said with a smile, then immediately stood up and left the courtyard with light steps.
She hurried toward the courtyard where Xiao Le'an lived, because she was going to see her beloved granddaughter.
Receiving a signal from Gu Yunchen, Qin Ru immediately quickened her pace and followed closely behind Jiang Mianmian, the two of them leaving Songhe Courtyard together.
After the two women left, Gu Yunchen waved his hand, and the other servants who had remained in the room also bowed and left.
After confirming that no one was in the room, Gu Yunchen looked around again to make sure no one could hear them. Then he slowly turned his head, staring intently at Ai Ren, and said in a low, solemn voice:
"My mother doesn't know that others can hear her thoughts. We also don't know if we'll still be able to hear her once she finds out. And if she does find out, the consequences could be unpredictable."
Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen complications and to prevent problems before they arise, everyone who hears her thoughts must pretend to be unaware of the matter.
Ai Ren thought to himself, "She didn't know?! No wonder she's so talkative and annoying!"
If she knew that her thoughts could be known by others, she probably wouldn't have dared to complain so freely in her heart.
Thinking of this, Ai Ren couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself: He had been wondering before, how could a normal person do this?
Ai Ren: [Then... are you really sure I am the Ninth Prince of the Great Yuan Kingdom—Situ Wenqi?]
Faced with Ai Ren's questioning, Gu Yunchen nodded slightly, indicating his certainty. He explained unhurriedly, "That's right, I can confirm it. Your body is still in a deep coma and you haven't woken up yet."
Even more coincidentally, on the very same day you fell into a coma, Su Qianqian unexpectedly found the dog that you had transformed into.
The timing of the two events is so precise that it's definitely not a coincidence.
Then, Gu Yunchen narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice to explain in detail to Ai Ren. He also told Ai Ren about all the strange things about Su Qianqian.
The purpose was to prepare it mentally, in case it softened its heart towards Su Qianqian again, or did something wrong, and to prevent it from causing trouble for them again.
Ai Ren's eyes widened, and he blurted out,
"Wang Wang Wang"
Then, after hearing his own shout, Ai Ren realized what was happening.
Damn it, it's not human anymore, Gu Yunchen can't understand its dog language at all.
So, Airen immediately started pointing at the words with her paw again: 【This is too amazing! Are you sure what you're saying is true?】
Gu Yunchen smiled slightly and nodded affirmatively, saying, "Hmm! Of course, I won't slander Su Qianqian either, because my second brother and his friends are people who have seen and experienced it firsthand."
Such strange things are happening right under my nose, how could it be fake? If I didn't have irrefutable evidence, why would I tell you these things?
That's true. After all, they were all the emperor's guards, meaning they were acting on the emperor's orders. He wouldn't dare to deceive the emperor.
Moreover, these people weren't street thugs or swindlers.
And even if it really has become a dog now, and even lost all its previous memories, it hasn't completely become a dog, nor has it developed a dog brain, right?
Humans still possess the ability to think.
However, if it weren't for the appearance of Gu Yunchen and the others, it probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
Before meeting Jiang Mianmian, it never had any doubts about its identity as a dog demon, and even fell in love with Su Qianqian at first sight.
If given more time, it might have already been unable to suppress its impulse and was ready to confess its secret of being a "dog demon" to Su Qianqian.
The "suspicious points" that he had previously deliberately ignored or had not noticed have now become much clearer, making his mind much more active.
Ai Ren: [When can I go back into my own body?]
Gu Yunchen was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Ai Ren—no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him Situ Wenqi.
After a series of events, he had clearly learned his true identity and firmly believed that he was a human being, not a dog.
After a long while, still not receiving a reply from Gu Yunchen, Situ Wenqi slowly turned his head and looked directly at Gu Yunchen.
In that instant, he saw the unnatural expression on Gu Yunchen's face, and a bad feeling immediately welled up in his heart.
He hurriedly stretched out his furry paw and anxiously asked, "You're not trying to tell me I can't go back, are you?!"
His tone was filled with fear and unease; if what he suspected was true, then the fact was far too cruel for him.
He might as well never have known his true identity!
It's better to live a carefree and unrestrained life as a dog demon than to know clearly that you are human but cannot return to your original form.
At least that way, he was quite at ease.
Situ Wenqi froze on the spot.
"I'm not sure." Gu Yunchen looked at Situ Wenqi with an honest expression and said slowly, "Sigh, we have never encountered such a situation before."
And you, this is the first time you've encountered something like this, so you have absolutely no past experience to draw upon.
Upon hearing this, Situ Wenqi was struck dumb, his entire body instantly frozen in place.
However, before he could recover from his shock, Gu Yunchen added, "But you don't need to worry so much. After all, you're not the first, and you certainly won't be the last."
Before you, there were others who had unfortunately been possessed. One person was possessed for many years, while the other was immediately detected after being possessed.
But in the end, they were all saved.
After hearing this, Situ Wenqi composed himself slightly, a glimmer of hope igniting in his heart. He hurriedly said to Gu Yunchen, "[Really? I need to see that person!]"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
ah ah ah...
It's saved.
Gu Yunchen seemed to understand its thoughts, smiled slightly, and replied, "Haven't you already met her?"
Situ Wenqi was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked suspiciously, "What is it? I don't know anything about it myself?"
Gu Yunchen's expression remained calm as he casually uttered two words: "My mother."
Situ Wenqi stared wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape, momentarily at a loss for how to react, before finally regaining his senses after a long while.
