Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Before Yun Xi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qi Yun'an who kept looking around: "Okay, my tongue was bitten by a cat, I can't speak anymore, it's getting late, let's go home!" Seeing that Yun Miao was not in sight, he knew that it was inconvenient for him to look for Yun Miao now, and he was worried that he would cause trouble for Yun Miao. He was not happy that he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and seeing Yun Xi was always pretending in front of him, he said impatiently, and then turned and left.

Seeing Qi Yun'an turn around and leave without mercy, Yun Xi calmed down and recalled the way he looked behind her just now. She instantly understood that Qi Yun'an came here not to pick her up, but to see Yun Miao. However, her current status was not suitable for her to get angry. Besides, they had not met, and if she reacted too strongly, she would be put down. Therefore, she could only hold back her anger and follow behind.

After bidding farewell to the Marquis of Nanchang, the two returned to the Prince's Mansion. Just like when they left, they also went back separately. When they arrived at the mansion, Qi Yunan left Yunxi alone at the door and strode directly to the study, without any regard for her emotions.

After Yun Xi left, all the words she had said in front of Yun Miao were passed on by An San and placed properly on Gu Yanting's desk.

After receiving the news, Gu Yanting's expression did not change much when he learned what Yun Xi said. Over the years, he had seen countless people who were malicious towards him, and he no longer cared about them. However, when he saw Yun Miao's reply, the man who could remain calm even before facing the enemy became nervous. He wanted to know how Yun Miao saw him, but at the same time, he was worried that Yun Miao would also be affected by those rumors and have bad thoughts about him! He calmed down a little and continued to read.

When he saw Yun Miao ruthlessly oppose Yun Xi's views and defend himself, his heart finally fell. He didn't expect Yun Miao to defend him in front of outsiders. At this moment, he felt the feeling of being protected. Now he was eager to see Yun Miao. He couldn't explain what he was thinking in his heart, but he only knew that his heart was full of Yun Miao at the moment. As long as he thought of him, he felt a warm current flowing through his limbs.

"Miss, it's already very late. Don't read today. Go to bed early and keep your eyes open." Seeing Yun Miao still reading so late, Meixiang persuaded her while bringing the candlestick to the table.

Knowing that Meixiang was worried about her, Yunmiao obediently put down the book she was reading and went to lie down on the bed. She told Meixiang to go to rest quickly, and not to sleep on the footstool like other maids to keep watch for their masters. Yunmiao always asked Meixiang to go back to her room to sleep, and she didn't need Meixiang to keep watch for her.

Yun Miao, who was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, suddenly woke up. She got up and poured a glass of water and drank it. She was no longer sleepy and went to the window, pushed it open and prepared to get some fresh air. However, she was startled by the man outside the window. When she was about to scream, the man quickly wiped her mouth and said quickly: "Miao Miao, it's me, I'm sorry to scare you. I just... I just wanted to see you, I didn't mean to scare you." There was obvious guilt in the man's words when he said the last part.

Yun Miao looked at the man in front of her and patted Gu Yanting's hand that was covering his mouth. Gu Yanting realized his action and quickly withdrew his hand. At the same time, he carefully watched Yun Miao's expression. He felt a little nervous, worried that she would be disgusted by his action.

Yun Miao looked at the man who was always confident, as if everything was under his control, with this expression on his face. She looked at Gu Yanting with some amusement and said with a smile, "Did you come here so late just to make eye contact with me?"

"Miao Miao, are you curious about my appearance? Do you want to see what I look like?" Gu Yanting wore a mask at first because his father's lifelong wish was to protect the land under his feet and provide a peaceful life for the border residents who had been harassed by the Huns for many years. So after clearing his father's grievances, he went to the battlefield without hesitation when he was still young. He wanted to take on his father's wish and protect the border so that the Huns would not dare to invade again.

However, because he was young and too handsome, he was despised and ridiculed by many people. Although he proved his strength later, his increasingly handsome appearance was still a point of ridicule. Unable to bear the annoyance, Gu Yanting made a mask and put it on, and rarely took it off since then. Everyone only saw General Gu wearing a mask afterwards, and no one knew how the rumor spread that he had to use a mask to cover his extremely ugly face.

However, after this rumor, Gu Yanting reduced a lot of harassment, so he did not think about clarifying it, so these rumors continued to circulate, and there were also rumors that children were scared to tears. However, Gu Yanting had already let it go.

Hearing Gu Yanting's words, Yun Miao hesitated a little. After thinking for a long time, she looked at him and said slowly: "Well... it's okay! In fact, I'm not that curious. Appearance is not the most important thing to me. No matter how good the appearance is, if the heart is rotten, it is just an empty shell without any substance. Compared to appearance, I would rather understand your heart and appreciate your tenacity, bravery, kindness and sense of responsibility."

Hearing Yun Miao's praise and comfort for him. Yes! Comfort, although Yun Miao has been praising him, her hesitant expression and seemingly comforting words show that she also thinks that she is not good-looking. Gu Yanting, who realized this fact, was quite amused. If he had known that he would meet Yun Miao, a person who affected his whole heart, he would never have let those incredible rumors spread freely.

However, now he had to show Yun Miao that he was not as ugly as the rumors said.

"Do you want to see what I look like with your own eyes? Or you can take off the mask yourself, okay?" He gently took Yun Miao's hand and placed her on his mask, indicating that Yun Miao should take off the mask herself.

Yun Miao was actually very curious about Gu Yanting's appearance, and seeing that he was not averse to revealing his true face to her, Yun Miao slowly reached behind his head and fumbled to untie the rope of the mask, while thinking in her heart, if she really found that Gu Yanting's face was a hindrance, how should she comfort him without leaving any trace.
