“Miss, are you alright?” Chu Tao’s anxious voice suddenly came from outside the wall. At this moment, she no longer cared about how terrifying the King of Guangping was and shouted loudly into the wall.

“I’m fine!” Su Yan replied loudly, telling them not to worry.

“Shouldn’t we talk about what you’re doing here now?” Gu Ruoyun watched the little girl’s change of expression from a close distance and found it even more interesting.

Su Yan looked at Gu Ruoyun in surprise. Didn’t he believe her answer just now?

Gu Ruoyun understood the meaning in Su Yan’s eyes. She slowly raised her eyebrows and used her eyes to tell her, ‘do you think I’ll believe you?’?

The corners of Su Yan’s mouth twitched. She wanted to say, ‘since you didn’t believe me at that time, why didn’t you expose me and let me watch the ‘scenery’ for so long?’.

However, she did not dare to do so.

Far away, Su Yan held the impression and contact she had with Gu Ruoyun in her previous life. She could still hypnotize herself not to be afraid, but in close contact, Gu Ruoyun’s aura was simply too strong.

It was not because she was afraid of him, but because Gu Ruoyun gave Su Yan a sense of reverence. Gu Ruoyun was already slightly older than Su Yan. Not to mention that Gu Ruoyun had been in a high position for a long time and had fought her way out of the battlefield, this kind of aura was not something a young lady in a boudoir could endure.

“I’m here to repay your kindness.”There was no other way. Su Yan could not possibly reveal the events of her past life. If she did, Gu Ruoyun would probably send her to her brain.

She had initially only wanted to see Gu Ruoyun’s clear-headed appearance. However, now she knew how foolish she had been back then. What kind of place was the imperial residence of Prince Guangping? It was a place that allowed people to barge in at will.

Perhaps it was not a bad thing for her to meet Gu Ruoyun as soon as she had entered. At the very least, she had not been shot into a sieve by the secret guards. She knew that the secret guards of the imperial residence of the King of Guangping were most famous for their world-class hidden weapons.

“Oh? What do you mean?” Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Yan with interest. To him, he had found an interesting little rabbit today and was playing with it.

“Do you still remember saving a little girl a few years ago? A little girl who had fallen into the moat.” Su Yan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Ruoyun, waiting for him to admit it.

After all, she had only heard it from Su Qiao. Her Savior was Gu Ruoyun and she wanted to hear him say it in person.

“I don’t remember.” Gu Ruoyun had actually already remembered. After all, he had saved a little crying bag back then. She could not help but have a deep impression of him. However, when she saw the look of anticipation on Su Yan’s face, she inexplicably did not want to give in to her wishes.

Su Yan lowered her eyes in disappointment and was a little uncertain. How did Su Qiao know that her Savior was Gu Ruoyun? Could she have deliberately lied to her to provoke him?

As she thought about this, Su Yan looked at Gu Ruoyun with suspicion in her eyes.

“Oh, then I must have made a mistake. I apologize to you for barging in on my own accord today. However, I dare not do anything. The King of Guangping is a hero in my heart.”

Su Yan thought that it would be better to go back and find out the truth. Her last words came from the bottom of her heart. When she had first been in the imperial residence of King Guangping, Su Yan had learned a lot about Gu Ruoyun. The more she knew about her, the more she admired him.

“Wait, little cry-baby.” Su Yan used the route in her memory to walk towards the door. She had forgotten how she knew the route to the imperial residence since it was her first time here.

Su Yan was shocked by Gu Ruoyun’s way of addressing her. Gu Ruoyun only felt that if Su Yan had mistaken someone else for him and climbed up another man’s wall like this, she would feel a little uncomfortable and subconsciously called out the way she had addressed him in the past..
