Chapter 256 Peeping
Li Yan didn't know what Xu Rou would say to Gu Tingyan, nor how Gu Tingyan would respond.
But she had to protect Gu Tingyan and prevent him from getting hurt again.
Li Yan secretly followed Xu Rou's footsteps, hiding to the side and eavesdropping on their conversation.
Her heart raced uncontrollably, her eyes fixed on Gu Tingyan and Xu Rou, not missing a single expression or movement from them.
When Gu Tingyan saw Xu Rou, a hint of impatience appeared on his face: "What do you want from me?"
His voice was cold and serious, as if he were speaking to a stranger.
Xu Rou looked hurt and pleaded, "Ayan, I know I was wrong. Please help me and get Tingyu to forgive me."
Her voice trembled, filled with helplessness.
Gu Tingyan frowned slightly, a hint of determination in his eyes: "Xu Rou, stop bothering Tingyu. He's already disappointed in you, you should learn to let go."
There was not a trace of sympathy in his voice, only protection for Gu Tingyu.
Hearing Gu Tingyan's words, Li Yan was very satisfied with his attitude.
The current Gu Tingyan has changed a lot. Although he likes to argue with Gu Tingyu, the key fact is that he is still a responsible older brother who can protect his younger brother in critical moments.
Li Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of relief, as if she could see the dawn of happiness for her whole family in the future.
Just then, Duan Yujing spotted Li Yan acting suspiciously.
He was a little curious, so he stepped forward and greeted her: "Miss Li, what are you doing here?"
The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it carried a mysterious charm, but Li Yan was startled by Duan Yujing's sudden appearance, and her body trembled involuntarily.
She met Duan Yujing's probing gaze, her expression filled with a mixture of panic and embarrassment.
"Mr. Duan, what are you doing here?" Li Yan's voice trembled slightly as she tried to hide her nervousness.
Duan Yujing smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in his tone: "I was just passing by and saw you here, which I found quite strange. What are you doing?"
Li Yan blushed slightly after being caught eavesdropping on Xu Rou and Gu Tingyan's conversation.
Duan Yujing's question weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder, leaving her unsure how to answer.
Li Yan's lips trembled slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't utter them.
“I…I just…” Li Yan stammered, unable to give a complete explanation.
She was filled with conflicting emotions; she didn't want Duan Yujing to know that she was spying on Gu Tingyan and Xu Rou, but she also didn't want to lie to him.
In the end, Li Yan gave up explaining, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She didn't say anything, but instead pulled Duan Yujing to look in the direction of Gu Tingyan and Xu Rou, signaling him to be quiet.
Duan Yujing was somewhat puzzled by Li Yan's actions, but he did not ask immediately.
He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he didn't want Li Yan to feel uncomfortable.
Duan Yujing decided to remain silent and wait for Li Yan to explain herself.
Gu Tingyan stood not far away, his eyes sharp and keen. He quickly noticed Li Yan's peeping and felt a surge of grievance.
Li Yan shouldn't have done that; she should have trusted that he could handle his own affairs.
Gu Tingyan strode over to Li Yan's side and noticed Duan Yujing beside her. His face was gloomy, as if a storm was about to break.
"Li Yan, what are you doing? Why are you taking this guy along to peek?" Gu Tingyan's words were like sharp arrows, shooting towards Li Yan.
His eyes were fixed on her, waiting for her answer.
