"It is a good deed to help others achieve their goals, but using your love to do good deeds is like cutting out your heart. I am afraid it is difficult for me to fulfill General Gu's request!"

Prince Rui stared at Yan Muyun who was still lying on the ground, with a loving look in his eyes as if he really loved Yan Muyun deeply.

Gu Yunting knelt on one knee and said, "I hope Your Highness can sacrifice love for me. If Your Highness needs me in the future, I will do my best to help you."

This is what Prince Rui was waiting for. "Do you take General Gu's words seriously?"

Gu Yunting knelt on one knee and said, "Although I am not talented, I always do what I say and never lie about things I cannot do."

Prince Rui sighed and looked at Yan Muyun deeply again, "No matter how much I like her, I don't want to take away General Gu's love. General Gu, please take her away now!" After saying this, he turned around and stopped looking at her, looking heartbroken.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help!" Gu Yunting stood up, picked Yan Muyun up from the ground, and carried her out.

It was not until she left the yard that Yan Muyun felt like she was alive again.

"Can you ride a horse?" Gu Yunting asked coldly.

Yan Mujun shook her head like a rattle, and was caught off guard the next second when she was picked up by the waist and thrown onto the horse's back. Before her scream could come out of her throat, Gu Yunting had already sat behind her.

"I had no choice. Sorry for the offense!" Gu Yunting's voice was as cold as ever.

"No, it's okay!" Yan Muyun replied softly.

At this moment, most of her body was wrapped in the warmth from behind, and the unique scent of men filled her nose.

But the strange thing was that not only did she not feel nauseous like before, she even wanted to breathe a few more times greedily, and her heart felt tingling, which was a strange feeling she had never experienced in her previous or current life.

Seeing her shrinking her body and not daring to move, Gu Yunting comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, hold the reins tightly."

"Oh," Yan Muyun reached out to grab the reins in front of her, but because of her panic, she felt a touch of warmth.

She was frightened and subconsciously tried to let go, but with a low shout, the horse suddenly moved forward. She was caught off guard and fell backward, and her hands held on even tighter.

When the horse's pace stabilized, she wanted to let go, but her palms were sweating. She quickly moved her arms down and put her hands on the reins.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Master Gu!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the horse suddenly galloped away. "Ah!" She screamed and grabbed her hand back to its original place, grabbing it very hard. Gu Yunting's hand was probably scratched by her and left red marks.

For a moment, Yan Muyun felt her face was burning hot. Fortunately, it was dark and no one could see her embarrassment.

After all, she had ridden roller coasters and pendulums before, so after a while she got used to the horse's pace and loosened her clenched hands.

As the warmth on the back of his hand moved away, Gu Yunting felt inexplicably irritated. Just as he frowned, he saw the girl in front of him take out a black steamed bun from her arms and start to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Yan Muyun had no appetite when she got up early, so she only drank half a bowl of porridge to fill her stomach. She hadn't eaten anything all day and was so hungry that she was almost starving.

She finished one steamed bun in just three or two bites, then took out another one and ate it in just three or two bites as well.

After finishing the meal, he sighed deeply, as if he was still not full.

"Very hungry?"

Yan Muyun didn't expect Gu Yunting to ask a question so suddenly. She turned around and glanced at him. After making sure that she wasn't hallucinating, she replied, "I didn't have lunch at noon. How can I not be hungry?"

"Bear with it." A very brief consolation.

Yan Muyun rolled her eyes. It was the dead of night in the wilderness. Did she have any other choice except to endure it?

But three words of comfort are still comfort, better than nothing.

In fact, after eating two steamed buns, Yan Muyun was not too full, but not too hungry either. Having solved the problem of food and clothing, she had the mind to think about other things.

Now that a great opportunity is in front of her, should she try to seduce Gu Yunting again?

After all, she is already sixteen, and who knows when she might be promised to someone else. She doesn't have much time to choose her own husband.

Looking back and forth, the horses were quite far apart. She cleared her throat and asked shamelessly, "Last time, Master Gu said he was still unmarried. I wonder if he has found a suitable bride now?"

"Not yet." Gu Yunting answered straightforwardly.

Yan Muyun was slightly delighted and asked, "Does Master Gu have a concubine?"

"No."

"Does Master Gu have someone he likes?"

Gu Yunting remained silent for a long time without responding.

Yan Muyun didn't know whether his silence was a acknowledgment or a denial, but the possibility of acknowledgment was greater.

But the difficult first step has already been taken, and success or failure may depend on her hesitation.

Yan Muyun gritted her teeth and grabbed Gu Yunting's hand that was holding the reins.

"Master Gu, what do you think of me?"

The wind at the end of April was no longer cold, but warmly blowing on her cheeks. Yan Muyun felt like her face was about to burn.

Not ashamed, but ashamed.

In later generations, women who confessed their love to men were considered shameless, but this was in ancient times when women were required to observe the three obediences and four virtues!

If she gets rejected, she might as well hang herself with a piece of noodles!

"You are fine!"

After waiting for a long time, Gu Yunting replied with three words, but these three words were easy to understand and not derogatory.

Yan Muyun glanced back, then quickly turned her head away, "I, I'll take this as your consent!"

It was because she turned her head too quickly that she didn't see the man's bright eyes and the corners of his lips that he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried.

As a modern soul, Yan Muyun felt that some things must be made clear in advance. "I saved you before, and you saved me today. I think we are still quite predestined. Although my family background is not high, I will not be someone's mistress."

"Hmm!" Gu Yunting hummed softly.

Hearing that he didn't object, Yan Muyun was overjoyed, and then she pressed the issue further, "I don't want to share my husband with other women."

"Okay." Gu Yunting still responded decisively.

Yan Muyun turned around and met his bright starry eyes.

"Mr. Gu, you've already taken a fancy to me, haven't you?"

"Cough cough cough..." Gu Yunting coughed violently because he was choked by his own saliva.

"Humph!" Yan Muyun turned her head away in dismay. "If you don't like her, then you don't like her. Why are you so excited?"

After Gu Yunting stopped coughing, she thought for a moment and said, "Gu, I don't care whether you want to repay me or take responsibility, you can't go back on your promise. Although I can't beat you, I'm good with knives and needles, and I'm not someone you can easily bully."

"I know." As expected, it was another perfunctory response of just a few words.

It was clearly a confession scene, but there wasn't even the slightest bit of ambiguous atmosphere. Yan Muyun couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"What do you know? Will you die if I say two more words? Forget it. I'm not the type to force people. It's up to you!"

Gu Yunting thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Yan Muyun: "..."

No matter how much she spit, his character remains unchanged.

Forget it, I have no choice, I'll just have to make do with it for now!

There was no more conversation along the way. After entering the city, Gu Yunting was concerned about Yan Muyun's reputation, so he asked General Liao Yong to disperse the troops he brought, and only he escorted Yan Muyun back to Yan Mansion.

The Yan Mansion received the message half an hour in advance, and as soon as the sound of horse hooves was heard, the door opened from the inside.

With the light of several lanterns, Yan Yongchen and Su saw Yan Mujun riding on a horse as soon as they stepped out of the door, and of course they also saw Gu Yunting holding Yan Mujun in his arms.

Su's eyelids twitched wildly, and she quickly asked the servants to extinguish two lanterns.

Obviously, Su's attempt to cover up his mistake was of no use at all.

When the horse came to him, Gu Yunting jumped off the horse first, then stretched out his hands to support Yan Muyun.

Yan Mujun jumped into Gu Yunting's arms without hesitation, and the two of them almost hugged each other and turned around in circles.
