Chapter 1760: Chapter 1760: Mysterious Puppet Master vs. Ruthless Female Antagonist (Part 45)
Chen Biyue called out a second time and was about to call a third.
Then, he saw the little red wooden house on the left open by itself.
A black silhouette appeared at the door.
Chen Biyue instinctively looked over and was suddenly stunned.
Countless memories surged and overwhelmed him.
From the first word to the last.
Gu Shengyin looked at the man who was just staring at her dazedly, and couldn’t help but smile, "Oh? How do you plan to repay me?"
Chen Biyue snapped back to reality because of this question.
He stepped towards the small wooden house one step at a time.
This time, the puppet did not stop him.
His expression was calm, but his heart was racing.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Until he reached Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin had never expected that the person she saved on a whim to complete her task would turn out to be her lover.
Chen Biyue had already reached Gu Shengyin.
But he did not stop.
He continued forward, his whole body pressing against Gu Shengyin, then reached out and embraced her tightly.
"How about promising myself to you?"
When Chen Biyue said this, he was actually prepared to be rejected.
He knew his actions were a bit bold.
But at the moment when his memories suddenly and fully returned, he couldn’t suppress the desire that surged from the depths of his heart.
He was willing to follow his heart.
Then, Gu Shengyin did not push him away.
A minute later, realizing this, Chen Biyue was overwhelmed with joy.
He tightened his embrace until Gu Shengyin complained that he was hugging too tightly, making her uncomfortable.
"Let go, you’re making my arms hurt."
Chen Biyue laughed and loosened his grip a bit, but he did not release her as Gu Shengyin requested.
"I’m so happy, Di Yin, truly so happy, I thought you would refuse..."
Gu Shengyin looked up at him, a bit disdainful, "Speak properly, or I’ll doubt my own judgment."
Chen Biyue immediately corrected his posture.
His expression returned to its usual calm, but the corners of his eyes and brows carried a contented smile.
To be loved by someone you love is undoubtedly one of life’s greatest triumphs.
He spent several months in the forest with Gu Shengyin, aware that the Chen Family in the Imperial Capital kept urging him to return.
"Would you be willing to accompany me to the Imperial Capital?" Chen Biyue asked.
Gu Shengyin shook her head without hesitation.
Di Yin is not suited to live in a bustling metropolis.
She was born and raised in this forest, and her future belongs here as well.
Chen Biyue seemed unsurprised by this outcome.
He stayed with Gu Shengyin for a few more days.
Then one day, he bid her farewell, "Di Yin, I have some matters to attend to in the Imperial Capital and need to leave for a while."
He didn’t hide anything from her.
He was the heir of the Chen Family and carried responsibilities he could not shirk.
Gu Shengyin understood completely.
A man would always have things he cannot forsake, like responsibilities and career.
If she loved him, she couldn’t bind him under the guise of love.
But...
"Five years. This is the time I’m giving you," she looked at Chen Biyue.
"After five years, you needn’t come here anymore."
A woman is willing to support her lover in the name of love.
But she should not sacrifice her own life for so-called love.
Chen Biyue looked at Gu Shengyin for a long time and nodded, "Alright."
