Chapter 82 Be good, close your eyes.

Chu Ruohan sat in front of the dressing table, letting Yuling dry her half-dry long hair.

Upon hearing the news of Du Ruoling's disappearance, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, and she gently shook her head.

The love that was so unbreakable in the previous life is so fragile and vulnerable in this life, it's utterly ridiculous.

"Yu Ling, go and send someone to help Gu Cheng'an find Du Ruoling's whereabouts."

Yu Ling nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, young mistress."

But before she could take a few steps back, Chu Ruohan called her back: "Wait, go and call Song Ruyan over first."

Yu Ling responded and turned to leave quickly.

Chu Ruohan looked through the mirror, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible.

His suspicions about Lin Xingyao grew stronger.

When the palace maid tricked Lin Xingyao into leaving by saying she had an upset stomach, Lin Xingyao happened to be away from the banquet.

She couldn't believe it was such a coincidence.

Lin Xingyao is definitely not innocent. How did she get involved with Wei Qiming, and what kind of exchange of benefits did they make?

Du Ruoling is such a big problem, we can't just let her get away like this, she's still useful!

Chu Ruohan was waiting for her to cause trouble for Lin Qingyao!

In her previous life, Lin Xingyao was a princess, the wife of the heir apparent, and the future mistress of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion. She was just dust that had fallen into the mud.

Chu Ruohan was not even worth her attention; the two had no interaction and no grudges.

That's why Chu Ruohan hadn't made a move against her until now; things have changed in this life.

Lin Xingyao dared to scheme against her, so she wouldn't be merciful...

Soon after, Song Ruyan arrived.

As Song Ruyan entered, she covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, stretched, and seemed a little more refreshed. "Young Madam, you wanted to see me?"

Chu Ruohan turned around and said, "Ruyan, go and spread the word that the child in Lin Xingyao's belly is not Gu Cheng'an's. Make sure everyone knows it."

Upon hearing this, Song Ruyan blinked repeatedly, subconsciously picked at her ear, and looked at Chu Ruohan with a face full of astonishment.

Did she hear wrongly?

Chu Ruohan had repeatedly warned him to keep this matter a secret and not to talk about it. He had gone to great lengths to keep this secret to himself.

Why have you suddenly changed your mind?

Song Ruyan pouted, "Didn't you say before that it couldn't be told to outsiders? Why are you saying it now..."

Chu Ruohan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Times have changed. Now the situation has changed. Just do as I say."

Although Song Ruyan was puzzled, she dared not ask any more questions and had no choice but to accept the order and leave, thinking that she must find a clever way to spread the news.

Chu Ruohan gently stroked her hair, which was already dry. She stood up, her eyes gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.

Lin Xingyao, I hope you can withstand my wrath?

Chu Ruohan passed through the side room and entered the inner room, where she saw that Gu Junze was already lying down.

Her long, jet-black hair was spread out freely on the brocade quilt, and her slender body occupied half of the bed.

Noticing Chu Ruohan's arrival, Gu Junze turned slightly to the side, raised his hand and gently patted the empty bed beside him.

His voice was deep and had a seductive power as he uttered two simple words: "Come here."

Chu Ruohan was already used to it. She obediently walked forward, gently lifted the brocade quilt, and slowly lay down beside him.

As soon as she lay down, Gu Junze leaned in close, and Chu Ruohan's heart raced as she looked at his handsome face so close to hers.

By the dim moonlight streaming through the window, she could clearly see his long, curled eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his cheeks, and his thin lips slightly pursed beneath his high, straight nose.

At this moment, the man's eyes were only on her, his gaze so intense it seemed to melt her, concealing emotions she had never understood before.

His gaze was so intense that Chu Ruohan felt an overwhelming sense of shyness, her cheeks quickly flushing red.

She turned her head away in a panic, trying to avoid his burning gaze, but her heart was pounding in her chest.

Although the two of them had always shared a bed, Gu Junze would habitually hold her in his arms to fall asleep every night.

Such intimate behavior was unprecedented.

What does he want to do?

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the only sound in the quiet room was the mingling of their slightly rapid breathing.

Gu Junze broke the silence first, saying, "I'm sorry you had to go through this today."

Chu Ruohan gently shook her head and softly replied, "He was also punished."

Gu Junze frowned slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "Not enough."

What's not enough? What does he want to do?

The Emperor is clearly favoring the Duke of Wei's family...

Before Chu Ruohan could ask any further questions, Gu Junze reached out and gently turned her face so that she could face him directly.

Then, he slowly leaned down and moved closer little by little.

The warm touch on her lips made Chu Ruohan's eyes widen in surprise and helplessness, and her body instantly stiffened.

A man's gentle murmur reached her ears: "Close your eyes."

Chu Ruohan subconsciously obeyed his command and slowly closed her eyes.

Gu Junze's kiss became passionate, pulling her close and entwining her with his own, until they were lost in each other's embrace.

His hands unconsciously intertwined with hers, and Chu Ruohan felt her mind go blank, completely immersed in the moment.

After a long while, until Chu Ruohan was breathing rapidly and even felt a little suffocated, Gu Junze reluctantly let her go.

He then pulled her into a tight embrace, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

Chu Ruohan's cheeks were flushed, and even the tips of her ears were tinged with crimson.

Her chest heaved violently as she tried to calm her erratic breathing and panicked emotions.

Gu Junze gently stroked her hair, his voice so tender it could melt water, "Sleep!"

After saying that, he gently patted her body rhythmically. Chu Ruohan's heart was in turmoil. Why did he suddenly kiss her?

Perhaps it was a long-standing habit, or perhaps it was because Gu Junze's embrace was so warm that it made her feel incredibly safe.

She gradually fell into a deep sleep, and her breathing became even and gentle.

In the darkness, Gu Junze's lips unconsciously curled up in a smile that he couldn't suppress.

Recalling that when he returned home, Doctor Qian came to see him, saying that the antidote was almost ready.

After a period of conditioning, you can try detoxification.

Soon, he will be able to live like an ordinary couple with Chu Ruohan. Doesn't she like children?

Once he's cured of the poison, he'll give her a child.

No, we should have more children. What's the point of adopting someone else's child...?

He wanted to give her a complete and happy home.

These wonderful dreams kept surfacing in his mind, and gradually, he fell into a deep sleep.

In his dreams, he saw only happy scenes of his future with Chu Ruohan...
