Jiang Peiling didn't hear what he said at all at this time, and all her attention was on her mobile phone.

She stared at the screen, frantically clicking on the pictures and looking at them carefully, and finally settled on the one where Su Buyue and Gu Xingzhou were kissing.

Seeing that she didn't answer him, Zhen Maocai leaned over. When he saw the picture displayed on her screen clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

He even smoked his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray beside the bed.

He took his mobile phone and clicked on Weibo.

"Jiang Peiling..."

His expression was gloomy, and a huge storm was brewing in his eyes.

"Didn't you say that Gu Xingzhou abandoned Su Buyue for Bai Yueguang? Didn't you say that it is impossible for the Su and Gu families to marry?"

He grabbed her hair, causing Jiang Peiling's hair to hurt and she screamed in pain.

"Tell me now, what is this? Ah? What is this?"

Jiang Peiling grabbed his hand and tried to get him to let go of her.

"Let go! You hurt me!"

Zhen Maocai snorted coldly and shook her away.

"You swore to me that it's impossible for them to be together, so what's in the picture now?"

Jiang Peiling fell on the bed and got up in embarrassment. Her hair was a mess and she was naked.

"How do I know! That's what they all said. It has spread throughout Gu's company. The woman who had the scandal with Gu Xingzhou is back!"

She had spent a lot of money to find out. How could she have known that it would turn out like this?

"It's spread all over... well, it's spread all over. You told me that it's false news."

Zhen Maocai laughed angrily.

Jiang Peiling pushed her hair back and exposed her face.

"How do I know it's false news? Didn't you just believe what I said without checking it yourself? How can you blame me?"

"Furthermore, Gu Xingzhou has indeed never denied his relationship with that woman. Everyone assumes that it is true."

Zhen Maocai was choked by her words.

Indeed, he was too anxious.

He even forgot to confirm whether the information given by Jiang Peiling was true or false, so someone took action.

He gouged her out and called his secretary.

"How is the matter you were asked to do? Has the woman been contacted?"

The secretary on the other end of the phone had also seen the news on Weibo and was worried.

"No, that woman never answered my call, and then she was blocked directly."

Zhen Maocai took a deep breath.

"I didn't answer the phone... I blocked you. Won't you come to the door? Are you legless? Do you need me to go in person?"

The secretary's heart trembled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhen, I didn't handle it well. I'll go find her right away."

"No, give me the address and I'll go there in person."

hang up the phone.

Zhen Maocai put on his clothes and walked out of the hotel room without looking at Jiang Peiling.

Jiang Peiling was left paralyzed on the bed, staring at the photos on the phone screen, and punched the bed angrily.

...

...

When Su Buyue got up and went downstairs to have breakfast the next day, Shen Zhenyun never took his eyes off her, and his eyes were particularly complicated.

"Mom, just say whatever you want to say and ask whatever you want to ask."

She knew that they must have seen yesterday's news, and even if they hadn't, someone would have told them.

"Yueyue, mom already knows about you and Xiao Gu."

Shen Zhenyun spoke,
  "Your father and brother will handle the company's affairs. It's not a big problem. You don't have to wrong yourself."

Su Buyue took a sip of juice and looked up at her.

Knowing that she misunderstood that she was acting with Gu Xingzhou for the company, and even kissed for authenticity.

Of course, the acting is real. But kissing is not acting.

"I didn't wrong myself, Mom."

She put down the cup in her hand, her eyes serious and firm.

"Yesterday was an act, but it was also real."

Shen Zhenyun didn't understand.

What does it mean to be acting but also real?
  Su Buyue thought about the words, but explaining to her from beginning to end was too lengthy.

She thought for a moment, and all she needed was a few words.

"Mom, I like him."

I don’t know when he started, but he was always by her side, where she could see him.

It was that time she sneaked out of the palace to watch the lantern show and got lost when she came back late. He led her back to the palace. The lantern he held in his hand gave off a bright and long-lasting light.

It was the roast chicken meal he cooked on the mountain after midnight during the winter solstice that year that she could never forget.

Or maybe it was the countless confrontations in the court hall, which seemed to be confrontational, but in fact he guided countless sharp arrows to herself, so that she could be safe.

She still came to another world inexplicably, and having him by her side gave her a sense of security.

She didn't think about it deliberately before, but now that she thinks about it one by one, it seems that he has left an indelible mark on her past years.

Moreover, it is getting more and more profound now.

Su Buyue admitted that she was becoming more and more unscrupulous, just because he seemed to have no dealings with her, but he never seemed to attack her.

Those fears and suspicions were caused by her being in that position.

Now, both of them have changed their worlds and identities.

Without these negative emotions, the softness and warmth that had been suppressed at the bottom surged up.

Like the tide on August [-]th.

Su Buyue will not run away from her feelings.

It's like knowing that you are going to marry into the palace and become husband and wife with a person who has no feelings.

She was confused for a while, but she understood her mission and responsibility as the general's legitimate daughter.

After learning that the emperor passed away on their wedding night, she said without hesitation that she was lucky.

What she was thankful for, she didn't understand at the time.

But now she understands.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to deal with a man she doesn't love, and she doesn't have to treat her like a guest for the sake of the family and the country.

Fortunately, she can see her heart clearly now, has a man she likes, and no longer has to shoulder such heavy responsibilities.

Su Buyue previously felt that it was unfortunate that she came to this world. She was separated from the place where she grew up, and strange people and unfamiliar environments made her feel uneasy and without a sense of belonging.

But now she feels she is lucky.

It was precisely because of this adventure.

She has the freedom she has longed for, the opportunity to see her heart clearly, and the courage to join hands with the one she loves.

Shen Zhenyun was stunned.

"Yueyue, are you and Xiao Gu ready to accept baby kisses?"

"Do not."

Su Buyue shook his head.

"I don't know if Gu Xingzhou and I will get married, but if we do, it will definitely not be because of our baby kiss, but because I love him."

Parents to enrich people.

It's what she hates.

What she wants is freedom and purity.

There was no interference from any external factors, it was just because of the two of them.

Only in that kind of marriage would she step into it willingly and without hesitation, ready to be with him for the rest of her life.

Shen Zhenyun's eyes were slightly hot and she held her hand.

"Yueyue, just love, don't think about anything else, we will support you behind you."
