Lu Chenyuan did not answer.
Gu Yi watched Lu Chenyuan's retreating figure as he left the ward, crying until her brain was oxygen-deprived. Her life had been smooth and glamorous; how could it have come to this?
She, Gu Yi, could only ever be seen as the unattainable Empress, high above all. How could she tolerate being riddled with holes like she was now?
Just because of a rustic village girl, could Lu Chenyuan really bear to watch her so pitiful and desperate? His heart was too cruel.
"You're leaving so soon? Do you have no conscience, Lu Chenyuan? She needs someone by her side right now," Father Gu scolded Lu Chenyuan with burning rage, feeling indignant on behalf of his daughter.
His foolish daughter had been calling out for Lu Chenyuan last night during the emergency, constantly asking why he hadn't come yet.
Lu Chenyuan was here now, and yet he had to leave so urgently. What could be so important?
