Besides, given my status, being able to hide here for two years and enjoy some peace is already a fortunate thing.
Do you really think I could hide for twenty years?
Whatâs more, the dowry from our mother included this, and itâs not a secret to others, so why should I keep it and let others covet it?â
Gu Yao understood as well.
Since the Prince could find it, so could anyone else.
If he had to choose sides sooner or later, then it would be better to do it earlier rather than later to avoid difficulties when both sides approached.
After all, the Crown Prince was virtuous, and it was his divine destiny.
To serve the Crown Prince was also justifiable.
However, he just felt uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that his elder brother should not have to make such a huge sacrifice for a peasant girl like Yang Ruxin.
âBut, big brother, without this, you will have no supportâŠâ Gu Yao still looked troubled.
âAyao,â Gu Qingheng laughed, âDo you think that if someone really wanted to harm us, this would actually provide any guarantee?
It could very well become a death warrant instead.â
âButâŠâ
âAyao, do you know?
If I hadnât met her, I might really not have been able to carry on.
She filled my heart with lightâŠâ A small smile played at the corners of Gu Qinghengâs mouth, âThese days, Iâve come to believe that everyoneâs path is predetermined by the heavens, fortune and misfortune go hand in handâŠâ He paused, âLook at her, how confused was she before?
How difficult were her past days?
But she never gave up.
Now sheâs managed to move out with her siblings and even plans to break ties with those vampiric relatives.
How much perseverance does that take?â
Gu Yao sighed.
âI know you canât understand.
Thatâs because you havenât yet met someone who can make you throw caution to the wind.
When you do, youâll understandâŠâ Gu Qingheng exhaled, âAlso, this item, sometimes being in possession of a treasure is no crime, but hiding it isâŠ
Moreover, the Crown Prince is not a fool.
If I offer this up to him, heâll surely protect me.
Otherwise, it would dishearten those who wish to align themselves with himâŠâ
âBig brother, I understand what youâre saying, and I know that this thing must be given away sooner or later.
But Iâm just worried.
You havenât even seen what she looks like; what ifâŠâ Gu Yao understood his elder brotherâs meaning and knew it was reasonable, but he just felt it wasnât worth it.
âWhat does appearance matter?â Gu Qingheng laughed as he interrupted Gu Yaoâs words, âOne should use the heart to see people.
Only those who can be truly seen with the heart are worth committing a lifetime toâŠâ
âAlright, anyway, big brother is always right.â Gu Yao pouted, dissatisfied, âI canât argue with youâŠ
Whatever you say, Iâll just do it.â
Gu Qinghengâs smile grew even wider.
âHowever, if Yang Dani can keep a smile on your face, I wonât blame herâŠâ Gu Yao added, âIâll treat her like my sister-in-lawâŠâ He would help his brother watch over his sister-in-law and ensure that no one else could take her away.
The smile on Gu Qinghengâs face stiffened for a moment as he subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, he seemed to enjoy smiling a lot lately.
And the term âsister-in-lawâ sounded so fitting to his ears.
In fact, he couldnât explain to Gu Yao more clearly.
Maybe he thought he was the one helping out recklessly, but in truth, she was the one helping him overcome his inner demons.
