Whoosh!
Bai Yin's expression changed greatly once again. Her eyes grew even more anxious as she shot Gu Ruoyun a few more glances, hoping that she would be tactful enough to leave quickly.
Since they do not welcome her, Gu Ruoyun would not force her to stay. She rose to her feet and said, "There's no need, I can leave on my own so I won't trouble you. Besides, you've helped me earlier so I owe you a favor. If I ever need it in the future, I will return this favor to you."
The scariest thing in this world is not owing a favor but owing a favor. A favor is always the most difficult to repay.
Even though Gu Ruoyun has a good impression of the man in red, she does not want to owe him a favor.
"No." The man in red furrowed his brows, "Once I'm done with my business, I will send you off safely. Besides, I've saved you not because I want you to return the favor. I'm only helping you because you look very much like an old friend of mine."
"An old friend?"
Gu Ruoyun was shocked and stared at the man in red in confusion.
"That's right."
The man in red's expression softened at the mention of his old friend. His initially arrogant and unruly eyes were now filled with tenderness. There was no need to think to know that this old friend was his lover.
"She's my wife and the love of my life. All these years, I've risked my life to find her as soon as possible! In order to accomplish this goal, I've been gone for twenty years. During these twenty years, I've never once returned to see my son and daughter. My poor daughter, her parents had left her when she was born. They hadn't even given her a proper name. Now that I've seen you, it's as if I'm looking at my own daughter. If she were by my side, she would be about the same age as you. "
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun could not help but think of Gu Tian and his wife. Her lips curled into a bitter smile.
"By the way, little girl, I haven't asked you yet. Why are you here on your own? Where are your parents?" The man in red emerged from his memories and his handsome face lit up with a warm smile as he asked.
"My parents?" Gu Ruoyun's voice was calm and indifferent, "They're already dead."
To her, her father, Xia Ming, from her past life, was no different from a dead man. As for Gu Tian and his wife, their whereabouts were unknown and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. So what if she believes that they're still alive? For so many years, there had been no news at all, so she couldn't say for sure.
The man in red raised his eyebrows and placed his broad palm on Gu Ruoyun's shoulder.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought this up."
"It's nothing," Gu Ruoyun shook her head, "Haven't you gone back to visit your children even once in the past twenty years?"
Hearing this, the man in red laughed bitterly and shook his head. His face was filled with helplessness, "For the past twenty years, I have lived for the sake of revenge. My enemies are far too powerful. How could I bear to drag my children down with me? After I get my revenge and find my wife, I will go back to them! As long as I don't kill a powerful enemy, I won't return to the clan! "
This was the belief that he had held onto for so many years.
Who could imagine what kind of cruel life he had experienced in the past twenty years? However, his luck wasn't bad. He had finally reached this stage from being an ant who had been hunted down by others. The only thing that had supported him was this belief!
"Little girl, it's rare for me to meet a little girl who's about the same age as my daughter so I couldn't help but say a few more words." The man in red smiled and lowered his gaze to look at the young girl's delicate and pretty features. A sense of absent-mindedness flashed across his eyes, "If you don't mind, why don't you become my goddaughter?"
