"You..." He looked at Gu Shengyin with some hesitation, as if pondering whether his understanding was correct.
Gu Shengyin nodded, "Itâs exactly what you think."
She spread her hands, "Otherwise, how do you think I could refuse Qingyue and still become good friends with her?"
Yu Qingyun only felt that this situation was somewhat overturning his understanding: "What, what exactly is this situation?"
Even with his strong heart, after painstakingly accepting the fact that he fell in love with a man, he discovered the boy he liked was actually a woman in disguise, his mind was still a bit chaotic.
Gu Shengyin tilted her head appreciatively at this manâs somewhat bewildered expression.
This man always had a demeanor of confidence, such an expression was a rarity.
She thought for a moment and said, "This matter involves some private family issues, and theyâre not pleasant memories, so I donât want to talk about it."
She recalled her long-missing mother, Xu Lihua, with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
"I will restore my original identity when I turn eighteen."
She looked at Yu Qingyun, "I know you have the ability to find out what happened to me, but I implore you not to investigate. This matter is unpleasant to me, and I donât wish for anyone besides my family to know."
Gu Shengyinâs thoughts were meticulous.
When Yu Qingyun heard about this, what came to his mind was to investigate what had happened with Mo Beiye.
Then he heard Gu Shengyinâs words.
Even though he was curious, Yu Qingyun was willing to respect Gu Shengyinâs wishes.
"Alright, I wonât look into this matter."
Only then did Gu Shengyin smile.
"You seem very happy." She asked Yu Qingyun.
Yu Qingyun didnât hide the smile on his face, "I am indeed quite happy."
"Why?" Gu Shengyin asked.
Yu Qingyun replied, "Although I donât care about your gender, if youâre a girl, I can rightfully have you."
He looked at Gu Shengyin with undisguised delight in his eyes, "I can grant you the title of Madam Yu in the future, can openly hold your hand in any occasion, and can have a legally recognized marriage with you in this country."
If Beiye was a man, no matter how well he treated him, declaring their relationship to everyone would still inevitably attract some malicious comments from certain dark-hearted people.
He could control what they said, but not what they thought.
This country has yet to be tolerant enough to treat same-sex couples and heterosexual couples the same way.
Gu Shengyin pouted, "I havenât agreed to anything, youâre dreaming too beautifully on your own, arenât you?"
Yu Qingyun looked at her face full of complaints and disdain, and for a moment understood what she meant.
"Then, let me ask you again now, Miss Mo Beiyan, would you be willing for me, Yu Qingyun, to accompany you as a lover from now on?" He solemnly asked the question once more.
Gu Shengyin corrected his address, "I am Mo Beiyan, with the âYanâ of âYanran yixiaoâ (a graceful smile)."
Yu Qingyunâs gaze shifted.
He tirelessly repeated the previous question and reached out his hand to Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin smiled.
She didnât reply, but placed her hand into the palm he extended.

Sorry everyone, todayâs update is late.
Iâve been experiencing a terrible writerâs block.
Iâm updating four Chapters for now, and Iâll write as much as I can later. If I donât finish ten thousand words, Iâll continue writing after midnight, and it will count as the update for the 18th.
Additionally, this world is about to end, and I have two ideas for the next one: a paranormal ghost husband or a twisted puppet doll, both with dark themes?
Which one would you prefer to read?
