Empire Model Marriage [Interstellar]

After admonishing Gu Yan, Mr. Holden left a sentence to do it for himself, then turned and left.Gu Yan was left alone, still in a daze and unable to escape, when he came to his senses, he was already standing at the door of Bruce's study in Asaman's house.

Gu Yan slowed down and settled down.

Before he had time to sort out his mood and knock on the door, he clearly heard a conversation between a housekeeper of Asaman's family and Bruce from the door: "Your Highness, someone in the Gu family is trying to interfere with your operation and hinder your recovery... The Crown Princess knew about it before we did, but she didn't tell us or you about the matter, instead she interfered with our investigation and used her relationship to destroy the evidence that the Gu family was involved in it... Her heart is to be punished, Your Highness."

They didn't turn on the sound insulation.

The malice in the old housekeeper's words was evident.

Gu Yan lowered his knocking hand and stopped in his tracks, but he didn't hear Bruce's answer through the door.

He had no intention of eavesdropping.

But by chance, he stopped at the door of the room.

"This has to make people wonder, before that member of the Gu family acted, would Her Highness the Crown Princess have known about this incident in advance and concealed it, and even acquiesced in this 'surgery incident' that is quite dangerous for you, Your Highness?" Happened..." The old butler paused every word, as if he wanted to force Bruce to give an explanation.

He is the old man of Asaman's family.

Since the death of Queen Margaret, he has taken care of Bruce growing up, and he can be said to be the closest person to Bruce in the Asaman's house except for Mr. Horton.

Seeing that Bruce was unmoved, the old butler became more earnest: "Even if it is the person next to the pillow, you have to guard against it, Your Highness... In this world, are there still few alphas who die at the hands of their own omega? Especially , in a powerful family like yours, and Her Highness the Crown Princess had her own child at that time, who would know what he was thinking?"

Gu Yan stood outside the door, so he didn't need to see it with his own eyes, but he knew what kind of admonishment the old butler would look like by hearing the voice.

While Bruce was in the meantime, he never said a word. Whether it was defending himself or believing in his grandfather, the old housekeeper didn't say a word... I don't know why, but Gu Yan's heart suddenly turned cold. Through the bottom.

Will not move for a long time.

It is impossible to figure out what Bruce is thinking, what is his position?

"You know, the news of Her Royal Highness's pregnancy was sealed until you came back. No one knows except the Gu family, Your Highness." The old housekeeper burst into tears: "The Gu family's ambitions have never been small. Do you know what their plans are? The Crown Princess is your omega, but don't forget that he is also the heir of the Gu family..."

The voice of the old housekeeper was still chattering: "Your Highness, it is not easy for the old man and the Asaman's family to rescue you. I hope you will not follow the old path of His Majesty the Queen for your own personal reasons. Your Highness——"

But it was not true to Gu Yan's ears.

He was in a daze now, as if he was stepping on the top of a cloud, he couldn't grasp any sense of reality, he just felt waves of powerlessness attacking him.Until the calm Bruce yelled from inside the door: "Enough--"

Gu Yancai regained some sense of reality that he was still living in this world.

"No matter what the princess wants to erase the traces of the Gu family's tampering with me during my operation, it is a private matter between me and him, and the Gu family, a family matter. I will naturally have my own discretion, and grandpa and Yasha The Man family has nothing to do with it—" Unlike Gu Yan's sense of distortion and the old butler's tears and righteous indignation, Bruce was calm and rational from the beginning to the end when he opened his mouth.

Gu Yan let out a heavy breath.

It was only at this time that he realized that he had remained motionless and still from just now until now, and he didn't even dare to breathe hard, and the whole person was so light and weightless.

The old butler opened his mouth, and was about to persuade again: "Your Highness—"

But before he finished speaking, Gu Yan's hand knocked on the door of the study.Before Bruce could say anything to let him in, Gu Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

The eyes of the old butler and Bruce fell on him.

Gu Yan looked up at Bruce, and squeezed out a greeting from his throat: "Your Highness."

"Why are you here? Didn't you say hello in advance?" Bruce acted nonchalantly, but his reserved and cold eyes were unconsciously tinged with warmth and tenderness when they touched him.

Gu Yan didn't answer.

Bruce immediately glanced at the old butler knowingly.

The old butler had just complained about the evil, and at first he saw that Gu Yan was still a little unconsciously guilty, and then he remembered something, raised his head and straightened up, cast an angry look at Gu Yan, and then turned and went out the door.

As soon as he leaves.

Bruce turned on the switch and closed the door of the study. While turning on the soundproofing equipment, he looked at Gu Yan casually and asked, "Did you just... hear it all?"

"I heard." Gu Yan did not deny it.

He couldn't tell what Bruce was thinking.

In fact, even he himself didn't know whether what he heard standing outside the door was really accidental, or Bruce let him hear it on purpose... Otherwise, how could he be as shrewd as a crown prince when he was talking to someone? Do not turn on the soundproofing equipment?

Gu Yan's heart turned a thousand times.

...I can't make up my mind.

"What do you want to say now?" Bruce tapped his index finger on the table, looking at him with burning eyes.

Gu Yan was stared at by his scorching eyes. He was extremely uneasy but completely calm. He raised his eyes to look back at Bruce very solemnly, and asked: "Then, what do you want me to say, Your Highness?"

What should be faced, always has to be faced.

Even if Bruce really didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.

"What do I want you to say? That's a good question. I'm not trying to extract a confession by torture, my princess, you can naturally say whatever you want. For example, what you just heard about the old butler of Kent Aren't you going to explain something about your accusation?" Bruce propped his chin and looked at Gu Yan, seeing his reaction, he unconsciously let out a wry smile.

Gu Yan looked back at him for a moment, calm to the extreme: "If His Highness has already determined a certain answer in his heart, what's the point of me not explaining it? But, it's just unnecessary."

He never does unnecessary things.

It's fine on weekdays, but when the relationship is strong, they can still love each other... But when it comes to the critical moment when trust, gaps, and interests are intermingled, Gu Yan just understands how weak and unbearable their marriage formed by interests is. one strike.

He doesn't trust Bruce.

Nor... Bruce would believe him.

"What's the point? It's unnecessary? You haven't even opened your mouth yet, so how can you judge that I have already determined a certain answer in my heart? Is it superfluous to even explain to me in your heart?" Bruce said for a moment. Staring at Gu Yan for a moment, never expecting that he would get such a reply, the warmth in his eyes condensed into extreme coldness.

Feeling hurt to the extreme.

He was suspicious all his life, and not many close relatives wanted to gain his trust... He never expected that when he wanted to trust someone, he had the patience to listen to someone's explanation...

That person didn't believe him.

Gu Yan asked indifferently: "Does Your Highness believe me?"

He really knows how suspicious Bruce is. If it is said that the Gu family has so many unstable factors and has done such a thing, Bruce can still believe him... I'm afraid, even Bruce himself won't believe it. .

Bruce looked at Gu Yan without blinking.

Gu Yan didn't move, just stood there to show him.

It was only now that Bruce realized how failed he was as a partner... Even his own omega, he couldn't win the trust, give the other party a corresponding sense of security, and make the other party fearful...

After getting such a reply, Bruce was angry at first, but later he started to hate himself.

"It's all my fault. As an alpha, I can't give my omega enough sense of security, and make him live so uneasy. It's all my fault." After a long silence, after calming down, Bruce immediately reflected on himself.

Gu Yan looked at him and seemed to be touched.

In the end, he still chose not to be moved, retracted himself into his shell like a snail, and asked: "Your Highness, do you dare to say that when you received the news, you didn't treat me and the Gu family from the beginning to the end?" Have you ever been suspicious? Have you ever doubted? There is only one imperial power, everyone has ambitions, and the heights are overwhelming. As a superior person, being suspicious is the basic quality...you and I understand."

He never trusts others easily.

Unless, that person is someone he can see through at a glance, like the current Bruce, who is so unpredictable to him, Gu Yan will never try to open his heart.Because, he doesn't want to, and can't lose too badly.

Once you lose—

The whole Gu family would be the one to lose, and he didn't dare to gamble with this.

"Indeed, I can't deny that I did have suspicions about you and the Gu family. Especially, you and the Gu family still have so many doubts, reasons and motives..." Bruce spoke bluntly, and he didn't care about confessing his whole mental process.

I also don't want to beautify and modify.

Gu Yan couldn't deny it.

Bruce paused, and then said: "But... I want to believe you."

People in his position are suspicious by nature and instinct. There are countless people below who want to use him, design him, and even his blood relatives. Swallowed so that there is not even a bone left... Bruce never trusts anyone, he has always trusted himself most.

Gu Yan and the Gu family have ambitions, motives, actions, and doubts... How could he, who is always suspicious, not question and trust completely?

But doubt is doubt.

After all, Bruce still wants to trust Gu Yan, even if he has ambitions, motives, actions and doubts... He is willing to try to trust him, even if Gu Yan really betrays him in the end, he is willing to do so.

He has never had such a feeling that meeting such a person makes him feel that he is enough for him, and he wants to see him even when he opens and closes his eyes... For this feeling, he is willing to gamble.

Rather than saying that Bruce believed in Gu Yan, it would be better to say that he believed in his own feelings.

"...Does Your Highness make me believe what I said?" But Gu Yan didn't believe it, he was always an insecure person.

Bruce wanted to open up his heart, and he was very frank: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have asked you, and came to scare the snake. Instead, I was planning to get rid of the Gu family and get rid of you without leaving any traces behind my back." .”

This is his usual style.

Gu Yan raised his eyes and looked at him without blinking.For a while, I don't know whether I should believe it or not?
