Chapter 1036: Failed Escape

came to his senses, realizing he had unwittingly asked out loud.Though it was unintentional, the words seemed to act like a lit fuse, causing Cheng Ruoer to explode with anger."What's wrong You have t...Although Lu Jiayan still appeared as composed and relaxed as before, even flashing a smile from time to time, the evasiveness in his eyes was obvious to Ke Yucun. He likely couldn't easily let go of everything happening back home.

"It's wonderful, it feels like everything has been left behind. From now on, we're going to start a whole new life!" Gu Ke'yi smiled, waving the plane ticket in her hand and looking at Lu Jiayan with a bit more anticipation for the future.

She knew her behavior now was very selfish, after all, Lu Jiayan was standing in the center of the balance right now, and still wavering between both sides. However, for the future, she could only pretend she hadn't seen anything.

Gu Ke Yu's smile was genuine, but when she saw the serious expressions on Lu Ji Yan's face, her smile froze.

She lowered her hand, still gripping the airplane ticket, and stared intently at her own feet, waiting for Lu Jiayan's next words.

"Ke Yu... We shouldn't be so impulsive, let's just go back first," Lu Jiayan said with hesitation and a hint of difficulty in his expression.

"I'm worried about my father's health, I'm afraid he..."

Although he spoke very slowly, enunciating each word carefully, every syllable resonated deeply within Gu Keyu's heart. She bit her lower lip harder and harder.

Gu Ke Yu couldn't bear to hear Lu Ji Yan continue talking. She looked up, her face a mixture of grievance and resentment as she said to him coldly: "Anyway, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. If you don't want to go now, then don't go..."

Gu Ke Yu couldn't continue the rest of her words. She originally wanted to ruthlessly mock Lu Ji Yan, but now she only felt like there was a clump of seaweed in her heart, and she could no longer speak.

"I'm sorry." Lu Jiyan reddened his eyes, looking at Gu Ke Yu, his face full of embarrassment and pain.

He's already become like this, what use is it to force himself Lü Jìyán's guilt was written all over his face, blocking everything Gu Kēyù wanted to say.

Even if Lü Jiayan were to make up his mind today to go abroad with him, how long could this situation last Regret was just a matter of time for him. Even Provence, in full bloom with lavender, couldn't bring them happiness.

Gu Ke'yu stood up numbly, her face pale. She forced herself to stand without looking back at Lu Jiayan. She raised her foot and slowly walked towards the exit of the waiting area: "I'm leaving, later..."

Gu Ke'yu couldn't bring herself to say another word. The tears she had been holding back for so long finally surged forth, her hands still tightly clutching the now crumpled plane ticket.

She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to keep her sobs to a minimum, and didn't look back the whole way.

As Gu Ke'yu walked past the corner of the waiting hall, she saw Lu Jiayan still sitting rigidly in that chair through her blurry tears. He raised his head and stared straight at her.

It was no use saying anything now. She bit her lip tightly, then got up and strode out the door.

As for this sudden impulse to travel abroad, Gu Ke'yu didn't tell anyone. So when she returned to the apartment, everyone just assumed she was in a bad mood and went for a walk.

Tang Liji sat on the tatami mat by the balcony, a plate of incense beside her. She was flipping through a book in her hand when she saw Gu Ke Yu walk in. She looked up and asked him with concern, "Are you feeling better now If your body hasn't fully recovered, try to go out less and avoid the cold wind."

Gu Ke yu stood there with a blank expression, saying nothing. He simply nodded stiffly and then, under the worried and puzzled gazes of Tang Li Jia and Xiao Tang, slowly walked towards his room.

She had barely stepped into the room when Tang Lijia's footsteps followed closely behind.

"Are you going to see Lü Jiayan tonight" Tang Lijia looked at Gu Keyu's face full of sympathy.

Gu Ke yu sat motionless on the edge of his bed, biting his lip and nodding slightly. Then, a bitter smile spread across his face.

"We went to the airport this evening. We had agreed that we wouldn't come back after going abroad, and I thought he was so excited, I thought he would actually succeed in eloping this time. But unexpectedly, just before boarding the plane, he suddenly changed his mind."

After Gu Ke Yu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the bed, staring listlessly at the white ceiling. "And what bothers me most is that even though things have gotten to this point, I don't have any position to blame him. After all, he doesn't want things to turn out like this either."

Tang Lijia had been listening to Gu Ke'yu speak so much that she was shocked and had no expression. She and Lu Jiting's tribulations, Gu Ke'yu had also seen before, and this time she was even more rarely an observer.

Tang Lijia's eyes were red, looking at Gu Kexu both heartbroken and sad. In the end, she directly collapsed onto the bed like Gu Kexu, hugging her shoulder and softly comforting her: "Don't think about it too much for now, just sleep well. I believe this matter won't develop like this. There will definitely be a turning point. You don't have to give up on yourself, okay"

In Tang Lijia's comfort, Gu Ke'yi slowly let go of her worries. It wasn't that she felt things were turning around, she was just too tired to think about it anymore.

Over the next few days, Gu Keyu did not go out again. The previous few days' turmoil had a considerable impact on her, and many appointments were canceled.

Xiao Tang and Tang Lijia were even more careful in their apartment, not daring to mention anything about Lu Jiayan. Even his name became a taboo subject in the apartment.

Although they didn't bring up the topic again, Gu Ke Yu's heart remained heavy with sorrow. She felt like she was constantly struggling to breathe, experiencing a suffocating sensation. It seemed that when grief became too overwhelming, it could even feel physically painful.

Gu Ke'yu's current biggest concern was Lu Jiayan and Lin Yiy's upcoming engagement, even the incident where Gu Kejyun had used underhanded tactics to steal Kitty's endorsement deal from her seemed insignificant in comparison.

Gu Ke'yu, though she hadn't left home, still found herself constantly searching for more information about Lu Jiayan. This approach, however, now seemed to contradict her previous principles. She remembered his words at the airport that day, which left her in a state of agonizing conflict once again.

Gu Ke Yu sat on his window seat, staring intently at the dilapidated and lonely figure downstairs. The man lit a cigarette as if he had no restraint whatsoever, leaning half against the car window, with cigarette butts already piled up at his feet. him. If you follow Yang Zuo's explanation, then everything makes sense. 。"Yes " 。"Yang Zuo said, and then continued to say what Cheng Ruor had done" 。"At that time, she threatened the nanny and the...
