Hearing him call others "useless" left and right, Su Mingyu wasn't angry. "When I was cornered by Su Yueyue and Wang Manwen, he stepped forward for me."
As Su Mingyu spoke, a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Do you know? The first time we met, I was beaten to a pulp. He just swaggered into my room while I was getting my wounds dressed. Then he calmly helped me clean the wounds on my back before turning around and leaving."
"Now that I think about it, I must have just been a little girl in his eyes back then."
As Su Mingyu spoke, there was a gentle light in her eyes.
This was the first time Tang Yan had seen such an expression on Su Mingyu's face since he met her.
"It seems you really like him."
Su Mingyu nodded. "Yes. If I didn't like him, why would I be willing to have his child?"
"Alright, stop being so sentimental." Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows and changed the subject. "Young Master Tang, don't just be curious about my affairs. Remember what you said. You promised to help me spread the news."
Tang Yan nodded. "Since I've promised you, I will surely do it."
Su Mingyu grinned. "Really? Then thank you, Young Master Tang. I'm a bit tired and going to rest."
"Go ahead." Tang Yan watched Su Mingyu leave. His dark eyes narrowed, and his emotions were unfathomable.
Su Mingyu was really tired. After she returned to her room, she fell asleep while lying in bed. She didn't wake up until the sky outside turned red.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face in front of her. Su Mingyu was startled. "Gu Ruobai! How did you get in?"
"Tang Yan let me in." It was obvious that Gu Ruobai was also confused as to why Tang Yan suddenly allowed him to come and see Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu propped herself up and sat up. Her eyes instinctively looked towards the door. Sure enough, there was a familiar figure standing there.
Squinting her eyes, Su Mingyu deliberately shouted towards the door, "Young Master Tang, why stand there? What's wrong with coming in to listen?"
Caught by her, Tang Yan walked in generously. "I asked Gu Ruobai to come here to tell him what we discussed before."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Such things can be conveyed by someone else. There's no need to call him here specifically, right?"
"The doctor said yesterday that the fetus's condition is not very stable. It's a sign of excessive worry." As soon as Tang Yan said this, Gu Ruobai immediately became nervous.
He quickly stepped forward to check on Su Mingyu. "How are you? Are you okay?"
Su Mingyu comforted him. "It's okay. I'm just a bit weak. The doctor just advised me not to think too much."
"I'm taking you away!" Without hesitation, Gu Ruobai stepped forward and picked up Su Mingyu, ready to walk outside. But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Tang Yan's words. "You can leave, but there will be no antidote for Su Mingyu's poison."
Gu Ruobai's eyes were bloodshot. He glared angrily at Tang Yan. "What exactly do you want us to do?"
"Nothing from you." Tang Yan hooked the corner of his lips. "I just want you to fulfill what you promised me before. Letting you come to see Su Mingyu is just to let you comfort her. After all, your child is innocent."
Although his attitude had softened, his words were still so unpleasant. This Tang Yan was really something.
Su Mingyu sighed in her heart, but there was a faint smile on her lips. "Anyway, thank you, Young Master Tang, for your kindness."
As Su Mingyu spoke, she motioned for Gu Ruobai to put her down.
But Gu Ruobai's attitude was obviously not good. He hugged Su Mingyu tightly and showed no sign of letting go.
Seeing this, Tang Yan grinned. "You can certainly not let go, but it's hard to say if Su Mingyu can withstand Qingming poison like last time."
"Are you threatening me?" Gu Ruobai's face suddenly darkened. "You're not the only one who can make Liuguang Magic Flower. Others can too."
"Yes, of course." Tang Yan looked at Gu Ruobai with a half - smile. "But you should know that there's a medicinal herb in it - the hundred - year - old ancient sheep vine. It's very hard to find. It took me a whole year to find it back then. Guess how long it will take you to find it if you look for it now?"
As soon as he said this, Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes. Finally, he put Su Mingyu down. "The whereabouts of Gan Jiangnan have been found. The next step is to arrest him. After I catch him, I'll send him directly to you."
Tang Yan nodded in approval. "You should indeed send him to me. After all, he's my enemy."
Seeing that Gu Ruobai seemed to know nothing, Su Mingyu asked curiously, "Didn't Tang Yan, or rather Tang Ziming, tell you anything?"
"Tell me what?" Gu Ruobai turned around and looked at Su Mingyu, full of doubts.
Su Mingyu suddenly realized. She told Gu Ruobai the plan she and Tang Yan had discussed before. Although Gu Ruobai's face was not looking good, he finally agreed.
Seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Tang Yan got up and left. "I won't disturb your reunion."
Watching Tang Yan's departing back, Su Mingyu sighed helplessly. "Is this guy..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Ruobai hugged her tightly. "I miss you so much."
All the words Su Mingyu wanted to say melted into tenderness at this moment.
She raised her hand and hugged Gu Ruobai back, with a gentle smile in the corner of her eyes. "Yes, the baby and I miss you too."
The two just hugged quietly, as if the air in the whole room had solidified for them.
Gu Ruobai greedily inhaled Su Mingyu's scent. The hole of longing in his heart, which felt like it had been eaten empty by insects, was slowly being filled.
The two hugged for a long time. Finally, Su Mingyu was the first to separate.
She looked up at Gu Ruobai's well - defined face and gently stroked it with her fingertips.
It had only been a day or two since they last saw each other, but it felt like a long time to her.
"By the way." Su Mingyu suddenly thought of a question. "Do you know that Wu Yurou is pregnant?"
"I don't know." Gu Ruobai frowned. "What's wrong?"
"You don't know?" Su Mingyu was stunned. It was a good thing that Wu Yurou was pregnant. Why was the King of Yu keeping it a secret?
Seeing Su Mingyu's confusion at a glance, Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes. "Maybe it's not time to make it public yet."
For some reason, Su Mingyu felt that this might not be the real reason, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it for a moment. "Do you think whose child Wu Yurou is carrying?"
"The King of Yu's. Whose else could it be?" Gu Ruobai was a bit helpless at her question.
