She simply could not understand it. Why was her father isolating her for the sake of a woman he had only met for the first time?
The Regional King sensed Su Lin’s stare but he turned away and did not spare her another look, afraid that he would not be able to bear this.
“Lady Gu, will this please you now?”
As he spoke, the Regional King accidentally lost control of his intonation and raised his voice a little.
He had done this because he really wanted Gu Ruoyun to stay which would make it easier for him to act! However, he never thought that he would unexpectedly raise Gu Ruoyun’s level of suspicion instead.
“I’ve already insisted on leaving.” Gu Ruoyun shook her head as she replied loftily, “I’m very sorry for disturbing all of you.”
After saying her piece, she left no chance for anyone else to detain her as she turned around and left the Regional King’s Mansion.
Thump!
When Gu Ruoyun and Zuo Shangchen have disappeared, the Regional King slammed his palm on the table and instantly split it into two. A vein throbbed on his forehead as a murderous intent flashed across his cold eyes. Ultimately, he held the murderous intent in his heart and straightened his sleeves fiercely before walking out from the room.
Su Lin watched as the Regional King disappeared and lowered her eyelids. At this moment, her large eyes were filled with anger.
“Gu Ruoyun, it’s all your fault. You had snatched my man away and snatched my father away too. I won’t let you get away with this. From now on, as long as you exist in this world, I won’t be a part of it! If I exist in this world, I won’t allow you to remain in existence either!”
The Regional King had been extremely enraged because Gu Ruoyun had insisted on leaving. However, in Su Lin’s heart, she believed that the Regional King had been venting his anger at her. Hence, the hatred she feels for Gu Ruoyun has even grown deeper!
…
Gu Ruoyun paused in her footsteps outside the Regional King’s Mansion. She then raised her head as her eyes filled with a clear and cool air.
“I’m sorry, evildoer, I’ve wasted your efforts. I think it’s best for me to find Qianbei Ye’s whereabouts on my own.”
Zuo Shangchen frowned as he sighed gently. There was a bitter smile on his peerless face as he said, “Xiao Yun’er, the Regional King had offered to lock Su Lin up temporarily. There’s nothing wrong for us to stay there a while longer.”
He simply could not understand why Xiao Yun’er had insisted on leaving despite the fact that the Regional King had already conceded?
Gu Ruoyun turned around and looked at Zuo Shangchen with a serious gaze. “Evildoer, how well do you know the Regional King?”
Zuo Shangchen was in a daze. He thought for a moment before he shook his head, “All I know is that my Master had asked me to see him. As for the kind of person he is, I’m not too certain.”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun laughed. “Do you really think that the Regional King would place Su Lin under house arrest without any good cause, just for me?”
Zuo Shangchen fell silent.
Even though he does not know the Regional King very well, based on Su Lin’s unruly and headstrong behavior, he could guess that the Regional King was certainly someone who would cover up his shortcomings! Otherwise, how could Su Lin have been spoiled to the extent where she has turned out to be so undisciplined and uncontrollable?
Therefore, why should someone like the Regional King punish Su Lin so severely for Gu Ruoyun’s sake? U.p..dated by .com
He simply could not figure this out!
“I can guess that the Regional King had wanted me to stay in the Regional King’s Mansion wasn’t simply because of you! If he does not have any other motive, he wouldn’t have made such painstaking efforts to make me stay! Besides, he had actually made a small mistake!” Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath before she continued, “He may have been disciplining Su Lin but I could see a reluctance and agony in his eyes! Of course, this may not prove anything but I could feel that he had been too desperate in hoping for me to stay. If he does not have an agenda, why would he have done that?”
