Free Web NovelChapter 1259: Chapter 1273: I Don’t Want Your Apology
She was already Gu Haoyu’s wife, being with him was perfectly logical, an unquestionable thing.
After getting married, not only would they live under the same roof, but also rest in the same room each night. He couldn’t bear the thought of waking up every morning and not seeing his wife’s shadow.
Lin Ruonan tightly closed her eyes, not daring to look at him.
She had never seen such an expression from Brother before, yet it made her feel the man’s suppressed anguish.
"Brother~"
Lin Ruonan called softly, looking into Gu Haoyu’s deep eyes, her heart skipped a beat, feeling as if pierced by a sharp tool.
"Brother~"
Lin Ruonan called softly once more.
Gu Haoyu reached out to touch her bewildered little face, speaking in a pained but resolute voice, "Nan, can you stop avoiding Brother, please? We are about to get married, how long do you still want to keep Brother waiting?"
How long do you still want to keep Brother waiting? Such a simple sentence, yet it utterly broke Lin Ruonan’s defenses.
Indeed, Brother had already waited for twenty years, guarding her for two decades, and now they were about to step into the sacred hall of marriage, and she couldn’t courageously face it.
She knew Gu Haoyu wasn’t indifferent to her; moments within his messages often clearly expressed his yearning for her. And yet she hid away, like an ostrich afraid to face reality, all for her insignificant pride.
She never considered, during these twenty years that Brother was waiting for her, when had he ever cared about his own dignity?
"I’m sorry... Brother," Lin Ruonan trembled as she spoke, filled with self-reproach.
"Brother doesn’t want your apologies," Gu Haoyu looked at her from above.
Seeing her face full of confusion again, he continued, "If you feel sorry for Brother, then prove it with your actions, stop hiding from Brother, will you? You are my wife, my Mrs. Gu."
Seeing his proud and unrivaled demeanor, Lin Ruonan’s heart melted.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Xiao didn’t see Old Mr. Lin in the living room upon leaving, and wanted to tidy up her belongings in the guest room.
When she first arrived at the Lin Family, Lin Ruonan told her the guest room was right next to hers and had the servants place her belongings there.
Upon entering the room through the opened door, she realized it was evidently a boy’s room.
Dark-toned curtains, grey and white bed linens, and the bookshelf with military model decorations; without asking, she knew it was Lin Junyang’s room.
She had been to Lin Junyang’s home in Nan’an before, shockingly simple, yet unexpectedly his family house was tastefully decorated, everywhere highlighted the man’s extraordinary taste, could be described as understated luxury.
Most books on the desk and shelves were related to military subjects, with many traces left from his student days, presumably this was his student-time room which remained unchanged after he returned home just a few times a year.
Xiao Xiao approached the desk, idly inspecting the small decorations upon it.
A model fighter plane, presumably assembled by him.
A photo from his student days, wearing a guard uniform, different from now, probably the military academy’s attire, looking even slimmer than now, with a face still bearing the youthful innocence.
Xiao Xiao gently stroked that slender little face, her lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile.
After putting the frame down, she noticed beside it, surprisingly, there was... a crystal music box.
