Chapter 35: The Fourth Brother Will Protect You

nothing more.It's getting late.After breakfast, the Empress Dowager and her maids left first for the Taihe Hall to prepare with the State Teacher.Gu Yunshi rode in Jun Ye Xuan's carriage again.Looking...Gu Yuxi was stunned, her whole body suddenly feeling hot.

He... disappeared for several days, just returned, and now he wants to... that way with her.

"Chu, Chu Li..." She turned her face away, barely managing to dodge his lips.

After feeling his hand begin to pull at her clothes, she started to feel him moving over her.

She lightly pushed him, a bit uneasy: "Chu Li, wait, wait a minute, I still have a lot to say… um…"

"What do you want to say" Jun Chu smiled faintly, flipped her over, and pressed her beneath him.

"You say, I listen."

But his hands, however, grew increasingly unrestrained.

"Chuli, please... don't do this. I really... have something to say, please... ah!"

He grabbed her wrist, Gu Yunxi was both anxious and flustered, she pushed his arm with all her might.

"Chu Li..."

"Alright, you say, I'm listening." Jun Chu Li let out a low breath and looked at her seriously.

Although his eyes were still blazing with intensity, even Gu Yunxi could feel how stiff and rigid his body had become.

But his hand stilled, truly wanting to hear her speak.

She blinked, and there was always a hint of unease under his touch.

Like a little rabbit waiting to be hunted.

"Why are you hiding from me" She had to get to the bottom of this.

She was really afraid that after daybreak, he would disappear again for no reason, and then she would never find him again.

If I said I have reasons, but can't tell you now, would you believe me

Jun Chu li took her soft and boneless hand, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed it.

But I will never leave you, not in this lifetime or the next.

"Did I speak too harshly to the Fourth Emperor today" He seemed very conflicted about this question.

"Jun Chu Li only smiled faintly, "There are some things that I will definitely tell you in the future, but, not now."

"Will you disappear again"

To this question, Jun Chu Li did not respond.

Gu Yunshi suddenly felt a pang of sadness: "What kind of couple is this..."

He bowed his head and gently kissed her thin lips: "Afterward, I will give you an explanation."

"What if I don't want to wait"

He suddenly paused, staring at her face: "Do you want to leave me"

At that moment, Gu Yunxi suddenly saw a chilling coldness in his eyes, a coldness that she had only ever seen in Jun Ye Xuan.

She instinctively shrank back.

Jun Chu's eyes, which had been filled with cold menace, were now gone.

Still, smiling softly: "I won't let you leave me, never. And you, don't even think about it."

"Chu Li..."

"While I'm away, if you have any difficulties, you can go to Fourth Brother, he will protect you."

"He..." Gu Yuxi bit her lip, unwilling to speak ill of his brother in front of him.

But, she lived in Xuan Wang's mansion and felt very uneasy.

Chu Li, I... I before with the Fourth Emperor brother... when in the palace, the Empress Dowager sent a nourishing soup for descendants, we didn't know, I and him...

"My Fourth Imperial Brother explained to me, it's not your fault, and I'm not angry." Jun Chu Li said.

"You...aren't angry" Gu Yunxi was a little surprised.

She struggled for a long time about this, not knowing how to explain it.

Now, she doesn't even need to explain herself

"I trust you, and I trust the Fourth Emperor Brother as well." Jun Chuli nodded, indeed not showing any displeasure.

However, Gu Yunxi still felt that she and the Fourth Imperial Brother were never a good match.

"I believe you have your reasons, and I know you have your own things to do, but... I want to talk to you about something."

She doesn't have any resentment towards Jun Ye Xuan, but her interactions with the Fourth Emperor brother are truly bizarre.

I don't even know what kind of relationship we have anymore.

"Chu Li, when you're finished with your own things, how about we move out"

Jun Chu's eyes sank: "Why Are you uncomfortable staying here"

Gu Yunxi shook her head. "No, I just... don't want to live with the Fourth Imperial Brother. I..."

I didn't notice the man's face, becoming increasingly cold and grim.

She whispered, "I don't want to see him again... Ah! Chu Li, you, what are you doing, wait... a moment... mm—"in the darkness.Having heard that Gu Yunshi was waiting for him in the side hall, he merely paused for a moment before returning to his own bedroom.He ignored it.As for Gu Yunxi herself, she didn't kn...
