Gu Yun laughed along, but only for a moment, and soon he could no longer laugh. In front of Shen Yi, he did not waste his efforts to conceal himself, showing his sadness and worry.

Where was Chang Geng now?

Even if he could come back without any danger, what were they supposed to say to Li Feng? After this battle, could the two brothers still continue on as if nothing was wrong?

Shen Yi quietly looked on. When he saw that as the topic returned to Yan Wang, Gu Yun couldn't even put on a false pretense. He had never seen Gu Yun care for someone so deeply. For a moment, he was somewhat shocked and dared not go on.

In recent years, the situation of the world had been very chaotic, some parts of the civilians were very unrestrained, effectively imitating foreigners to put aside all boundaries between men and women. At the same time, some great Confucian families had become more and more rigid in sticking to the old system, shouting for the collapse of etiquette, and tightening the confinement of their children and family gates.

But somehow, Shen Yi always felt that the world was somewhat ruthless — for the former type, it was in love for three days, broken off after two days, putting aside the matchmaker's agreement of parents. In fact, when it came to marriage affairs, everyone harbored somewhat of a calculation in their hearts. Even if others did not interfere, they themselves would measure the matter of pros and cons, and eventually, they would still pinch their noses and live with spouses.

The latter type, there was no need to mention, go along with the old rites when they come of age. Two people knowing nothing about one another were forced to live together, it was not much different from breeding horses.

Conjugal bliss as perfect as a jade, it all depended on luck resembling a blind cat catching a mouse. There was only so little affection in the world. Madmen take some, the fools take some, with so little left, how could it be enough to divide?

To be like Yan Wang and Gu Yun, it was truly rare.

Although neither of them showed much in front of outsiders, with Shen Yi's understanding of Gu Yun, if it truly wasn't because he could not let go, Gu Yun would never have stepped over the line of his adoptive father and son relationship.

Shen Yi couldn't help feeling frightened when he thought about it. His old hen habit acted up again. He asked in a low voice, "Zi Xi, don't say that I have a crow mouth, but have you ever thought about it, in case there is any problem between the two of you in the future, how do you intend to end it?"
