Chapter 227: Sincerity Can Move Mountains

Gu Yang, of course, did not know where Kong Xiangrou's maternal family was located.

In fact, once he truly gained the ability, he had once tried to probe his parents about the cause of Kong Xiangrou's death, but every time the answer he received was that she died of illness.

He wasn't sure if his parents truly didn't know, or if they were simply keeping silent even toward him, their son.

Perhaps the person most likely to know the truth right now was Su Jianguo, who was currently in a coma.

Looking at Su Yan's cold expression, a faint sense of unease grew in his heart.

"Yan Yan, I understand how you feel, but this matter cannot be rushed."

Su Yan's silence made the air in the room feel stifling.

Gu Yang sighed and could only continue asking, "Did you come to the capital specifically because you obtained some kind of clue?"

Her business was his business.

Su Yan quickly calmed herself down. Facing Gu Yang's earnest gaze, she had even less intention of telling him about her plan to go to No. 76 Yongxiang Road.

The current situation was unclear; it wasn't something a commoner like him could interfere with.

"There are some clues, but nothing is certain yet."

This answer made the atmosphere between the two grow distant.

However, one of Su Yan's purposes for coming this time was to lay her cards on the table with Gu Yang, so she didn't care whether he had any particular thoughts about it.

One second.

Two seconds.

Just as Su Yan was about to lose her composure, Gu Yang's voice rang out again.

"After you departed, Su Yao called me and said there would be a surprise after he saw you. I was nervous for several days, but it turns out he was talking about your eyes."

He proactively changed the subject, and the tense atmosphere relaxed considerably.

"When you got off the train, you really startled me. How did your vision recover?"

The words Su Yan had been eager to say could only be suppressed for the moment.

"Actually, there were signs of improvement before. It might be because my body gradually repaired itself, so my vision returned."

After all, she wasn't born blind; while this explanation sounded absurd, it wasn't impossible.

Gu Yang laughed. "That's wonderful. It's getting late; pack your luggage first, get some rest, and then we'll go out to eat. Consider it a welcome meal for you and your two friends."

Su Yan naturally could not refuse, and she watched Gu Yang leave the room.

She had an intuition that Gu Yang seemed to have already discovered what she intended to do.

This man was very shrewd, and he understood her very well.

Outside the hotel, Lu Feng was sitting in the car, wondering whether he should drive back by himself first.

After all, a long separation makes a reunion even sweeter.

Although they weren't married yet, seeing how happy Gu Yang looked, he likely wouldn't be able to leave that girl for a while.

Just as he was about to start the car, he saw Gu Yang actually walking out from inside, which surprised him immensely.

"Why didn't you spend more time with your girlfriend? How could you bear to come out so soon?"

As far as he knew, Gu Yang had specifically arranged all the work at the magazine in advance today to clear his entire day.

Gu Yang's expression was somewhat serious.

"What's wrong?" Lu Feng could tell at a glance.

Could it be that they had an argument right after meeting?

"It's nothing. Yan Yan needs to rest. I'll come back later to pick them up for dinner." Gu Yang quickly adjusted his state and signaled to Lu Feng that he could drive.

Lu Feng looked puzzled. It was already past ten, and there wasn't much time left before lunch; why did he bother coming out?

Seeing Gu Yang's preoccupied look, he immediately reached a conclusion.

That was that their famous, decisive Chief Editor Gu couldn't handle his little girlfriend.

"Gu Yang, to be honest, your little fiancée is really beautiful, especially those eyes." There were very few people who could leave such a deep impression on Lu Feng.

Especially since Gu Yang had mentioned her eyes were "problematic"—it turned out he was just showing off.

"Yeah, Yan Yan's eyes are truly beautiful." Gu Yang murmured. They were so beautiful that he wished he could hide them away so that no one else could covet them.

Lu Feng became even more certain that he was showing off and stepped on the gas.

At noon, Gu Yang took Su Yan and the Ma siblings out for a meal as agreed.

Although the conversation at the table was continuous, it consisted almost entirely of trivial small talk.

However, during the chatter, Gu Yang realized through his conversation with Ma Chulong that the identities of these two siblings were not simple.

Su Yao had also specifically mentioned over the phone to keep an eye on the people accompanying Su Yan.

Su Yan was not an easy person to approach. Previously, Sun Mang had only managed to get Su Yan to accept him as a friend through sheer persistence and badgering, yet now, these two siblings clearly had a very good relationship with her.

Most importantly, when he asked how they met, they were clearly hiding something from him.

Because he trusted Su Yan, he did not press further.

While Gu Yang was wary of the two, he also felt quite envious—how exactly had they managed to knock on the door of her heart?

After lunch, Gu Yang still wanted to stay with Su Yan, but the attitude Su Yan displayed was very cold. Consequently, he could only take his leave.

After being apart for several months, he clearly felt that his relationship with Su Yan had regressed to square one.

However, he was not discouraged, always believing in one phrase

Sincerity can move even mountains.

"Su Yan, your fiancé is really great!"

Looking at Gu Yang's departing figure, Ma Chulan's eyes were practically sparkling.

Su Yan's mouth twitched. Why didn't she feel that way?

Ma Chulan seemed to sense her thoughts and immediately said, "We can all see it. He was especially happy that you came to the capital this time and definitely wants to be with you, but the moment you said you had things to do this afternoon, he left without a second word. This is only because he likes you and respects you. Isn't a man like that wonderful?"

"Brother Gu and I aren't as..." The word "close" was already on the tip of Su Yan's tongue when she was interrupted by Ma Chulan.

"Stop being shy. We saw it clearly at the table just now; Mr. Gu's gaze never left you. He must like you very much."

Ma Chulan said this with absolute certainty, and fearing Su Yan wouldn't believe her, she specifically looked toward Ma Chulong.

"Big brother, tell me, am I right?"

Ma Chulong nodded along.

For a moment, Su Yan actually didn't know what to say.

Was it really like that?

She indeed hadn't noticed.

The last look Gu Yang had given her before leaving involuntarily surfaced in her mind; it did seem to carry a sense of longing and reluctance.

"Alright, stop talking about this. Let's get down to business."

Su Yan shook off the strange feeling in her heart; now was not the time for romance.

Understanding her intent, Ma Chulong waved over two human-powered tricycles parked nearby.

"Driver, we want to go to No. 76 Yongxiang Road. Do you know where that is?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the three of them boarded the vehicles.

Watching the people coming and going on the streets, Su Yan thought of the mystery that was about to be revealed, her expression serious and cold.

No. 76 Yongxiang Road—could it really allow her to find the answer she sought?!
