Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

The crackling sound of the dry firewood was particularly prominent in the silent cave.

Gu Jinhe took off the white jade hairpin on her head, let her messy hair down to one side, and casually put the hairpin on the ground.

Fu Huaiyuan watched her movements in silence, waiting for her answer.

It took Gu Jinhe a long while to answer Fu Huaiyuan's question.

"Although there are many people who don't want me to return to the Gu family, and many who want me dead, I just returned to the capital not long ago, and I don't have any connections at all. I can't guess who is behind this assassination."

Fu Huaiyuan didn't know whether he believed Gu Jinhe's words or was half-believing and half-doubting, and he didn't say anything after that.

Gu Jinhe grabbed the suit jacket that was covering her. Fu Huaiyuan was tall and had long legs, so he didn't feel the jacket when he wore it, but when it was on Gu Jinhe, it covered most of her body.

The heat from the fire gradually swirled around the cave, and Gu Jinhe slowly felt his frozen blood begin to warm up.

After a long time, or as if it was just a moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to Gu Jinhe's drowsy mind.

She thought of someone.

In addition to the four major families in the capital, there are also prominent families from the east, west, south, and north with profound heritage.

They are: the Yang family in the east of the city, the Liu family in the west of the city, the Xie family in the south of the city, and the Murong family in the north of the city.

In his previous life, Gu Jinhe only found out before he died that the families that were hunting down the Gu family included the Yang family in the east of the city and the Liu family in the west of the city.

As for the Murong family, the outside world knows very little about them, simply because the Murong family has a small population and rarely has contact with the outside world.

As time goes by, it will be easy for people to overlook that among the famous families in the capital, there is also the Murong family.

The Murong family is used to keeping a low profile, and the family members rarely get close to other aristocratic families.

But this generation of the Murong family produced a genius, his name was Murong Qingxuan.

His son's ability and scheming are no less than Fu Huaiyuan's, and he is on par with him.

In her previous life, she was in danger during a trip and it was Murong Qingxuan who saved her, and they became friends afterwards.

After witnessing Gu Jinhe's travel experiences with his own eyes, Murong Qingxuan once sighed that even if she prayed to the Bodhisattva for help with her luck, the Bodhisattva would be too busy to handle it.

At first, Gu Jinhe thought that the last figure he saw before he died in his previous life was Murong Qingxuan, but now...

People with a fever see double images of other things. When Gu Jinhe looked at Fu Huaiyuan, he felt that there was a floating fluorescent light and shadow on this person's body.

In fact, Murong Qingxuan and Fu Huaiyuan's figures are very distinguishable. The former is thin and tall, while the latter has an upright posture but is not thin.

The one who told her that the person on the list of people who ambushed the Gu family, including those from the Yang family and the Liu family, was Murong Qingxuan. He had many connections and his sources of information were relatively complicated.

If you want to know who is behind this assassination, perhaps finding Murong Qingxuan is a shortcut.

But Gu Jinhe had no connection with him in this life, so she couldn't possibly come and disturb him rashly.

At this time, there was a dripping sound coming from the cave outside, it was raining again.

Just when Gu Jinhe was lost in thought, Fu Huaiyuan suddenly moved towards her. Originally, the two were not too far away from each other.

After Fu Huaiyuan approached Gu Jinhe, he reached out to touch her forehead. It was still hot to the touch, but there was a fine layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Jinhe's pale lips. Gu Jinhe seemed to hear him sigh softly, and the next moment she found her body floating in the air.

Her long black hair covered half of Fu Huaiyuan's shoulders.

Gu Jinhe subconsciously placed his hands on his shoulders and looked at him in confusion.

Fu Huaiyuan carried her closer to the fire before putting her down. Then he sat beside her, half-holding her in his arms, and spoke in a cold voice without waiting for her to struggle.

"Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?"

Gu Jinhe was stunned. It turned out that he was the one who discovered it.

Her body was alternating between hot and cold, and she was also having a fever. In fact, she was almost unable to hold on any longer, but she didn't want to cause any more trouble for Fu Huaiyuan, so she endured it.

But he was still discovered by Fu Huaiyuan.

"Fortunately, it's within my acceptable range." Gu Jinhe's voice could not hide the weakness.

Listening to her weak voice, Fu Huaiyuan frowned: "It's raining. If you don't want it to get worse, don't struggle."

Gu Jinhe was really feeling cold and hot, and now a little hungry. Her injured leg had long lost all feeling, and now she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Knowing that Fu Huaiyuan was thinking about her, she did not act stubbornly.

She leaned silently in Fu Huaiyuan's broad arms, the faint scent of sandalwood wafting from her nose, bringing a hint of clarity to her drowsy mind.

Gu Jinhe suddenly thought that maybe she didn't need Murong Qingxuan's help anymore. Although she really wanted to find out who was behind the scenes by herself, the shortcut was right in front of her, so why not use it?

"I'm sorry, if you weren't in my car, you wouldn't have gone through this. The Gu family will definitely give you an explanation."

Fu Huaiyuan looked at her deeply and said nothing.

Gu Jinhe blinked gently and continued: "If the person behind the scenes knew that the eldest young master of the Fu family was also in my car, I wonder if he would regret sending someone to assassinate me. After all, the price to be paid for assassinating two children of aristocratic families at once is doubled."

Fu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "You are wrong. I am not only a descendant of a noble family, but also the next generation of the Fu family's patriarch. The consequences of assassinating the patriarch are not double enough."

Gu Jinhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said: "Yes, you are the next head of the Fu family. If someone wants to assassinate you, the Fu family will definitely not stand idly by." Right?

Fu Huaiyuan: "Wrong again."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at him. His pupils were deep black like obsidian, with narrow corners of his eyes, which looked too sharp when he squinted slightly.

Fu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes to look at her and said calmly: "The person they want to assassinate is you, not me."

Gu Jinhe raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "But now no one knows who is behind this. Who can guarantee that I am not a victim implicated by you?"

This remark made Fu Huaiyuan's eyes flash, and then he suddenly chuckled.

Gu Jinhe looked at the smile on his face and was stunned for a moment. It seemed like she had never seen him smile before.

Every time we met in the previous life, he was cold and ruthless, and I had never heard him talk so much.

She saw a different side of him tonight, as if the deep-rooted impression of Fu Huaiyuan in her heart had changed a little.

"What are you laughing at?" Gu Jinhe couldn't help but ask.

Fu Huaiyuan suppressed the smile on his face, wrapped her with his coat again, and whispered, "I'm not laughing at anything, I just think it's a little funny."

what's so funny?

Gu Jinhe looked a little cold. Was she wrong?

At the beginning, Fu Huaiyuan said that these assassins were here to kill her. At that time, she was used to such assassinations and subconsciously thought that he was right.

Although he was not wrong, why should Gu Jinhe admit it?
