âMonarch!â A sound of joy came from the front then that caused everyone to look over to the source.
Heavenly wrinkled his brow as he did so because he recognized that voice. Sure enough, itâs a familiar face of a woman whom he didnât like that caused him to make a annoyed face.
Gu Ya did not notice the strange atmosphere around that has gotten very cold and continued to show excitement in those eyes.
Just nowâ¦â¦ she was going out to look for Gu Lao but stopped after she got wind of the monarchâs return. Without caring for anything else, she hurried back and thus created this scene.
Tender and graceful in her face: âMonarch, Iâm so glad you are safeâ¦.â
Heavenlyâs sight locked onto Gu Ya, but instead of returning that warmth with his own, he only had cold sharpness.
Going rigid at that intense glare, Gu Ya did not know how to read this: âMonarchâ¦. Why are you looking at me with such eyes?â
She has known the man for many years. Strong, handsome, and at the same time indifferent to those close to himself. However, sheâs never been the subject of such glares before. Itâs making her heart quiver due to the unknown.
âGu Ya, you know better than anyone on what youâve done, why do you need me to remind you?â Heavenly spoke with such indifference that it hurts the recipient like heâs cutting her soul with a blade.
âWhat do you mean by that Monarch?â Gu Yaâs complexion got ghostly white, her lips a thin line: âEverything Iâve done is for your sake and only for you. I would never think of being a burden for you.â
In her mind, the invaders are of no consequence as long as Heavenly returns, thus removing her of any sin sheâs committed.
Heavenly did not comment on that, only examining the woman like a judge: âI will give you one last chance to admit your crimes.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yaâs face didnât simply look white anymore, sheâs downright green at the inner panic.
Forcing that swelling emotion down, she attempts to change the subject and away from her crime of leaking the news out. âAre you referring to the matter of Mrs. Di?â
It must be because of Ling Yan. Heavenly loves the child so much, he must be upset I tried to expose the girlâs mother for being a vile and scheming villain. Yes, that must be it!
That idea in mind, Gu Yaâs gaze quickly swept over Bai Yan and Bai Ningâs body and grew sour inside. Sheâs very jealous of those two for being able to stand beside her absolute love while she could only watch from afar.
Reallyâ¦. Like daughter like mother, both of them are vixens who only knows how to trick their way into a manâs bed. Ling Yan needs to get away from such a mother and grandmother less she be taught wrong. I will see to it that she get a proper education when Iâm in charge.
âMonarch, I know you are referring to Mrs. Di treating of Ji Song.â
As for what Ji Song said before, Gu Ya did not take it to heart.
First of all, Ji Song has no evidence, only speculation and guesswork that itâs related to herself. With only that, thereâs no way that child would bring it to the forefront.
Moreover, the monarch wasnât stupid in this ladyâs mind, why should Heavenly believe a childâs word, right?
