After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 191 Gu Yunchen Confesses to Guan Ling Shuang

Guan Ling Shuang had just hurriedly walked to her carriage when she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from behind her.

She was suddenly startled and instinctively turned her head, only to see Gu Yunchen running towards her.

Seeing Gu Yunchen running over, Guan Ling Shuang panicked immediately. Without thinking, she quickly dodged behind the wall on the other side.

She pressed herself tightly against the wall, her heart pounding, terrified that Gu Yunchen would discover her presence.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her breathing became a little rapid as she kept replaying what had just happened in her mind.

After Gu Yunchen chased after Guan Ling Shuang, he could only see her carriage parked in place, but he could not see Guan Ling Shuang herself.

However, based on his understanding of Guan Ling Shuang, combined with the circumstances of her escape just now, and the fact that her carriage was also here, he knew without a doubt that Guan Ling Shuang had not left this place.

On the contrary, she is very likely hiding somewhere nearby, probably trying to avoid being found!

Thinking about what had just happened, Gu Yunchen couldn't help but smile wryly to himself. He knew very well that the scene had indeed been somewhat awkward.

Because Guan Ling Shuang couldn't hear her mother's true feelings, she was unaware of the whole story.

She mistakenly thought that her mother's words made her believe that she had feelings for her and that she wanted to confess her feelings to her in public.

Faced with this situation, she naturally felt embarrassed, so she thought about running away as soon as possible.

Gu Yunchen calmly analyzed the current situation, and couldn't help but frown slightly. His deep eyes slowly narrowed as he sharply scanned the surrounding environment and terrain.

He quickly noticed a crucial point—in this area, if there was one place that was most suitable for hiding, it would be the high wall not far away.

As a result, Guan Ling Shuang, who was hiding behind the wall, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. If she could know this, Gu Yun Chen couldn't possibly not know it. To avoid an even more awkward situation, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Unfortunately, Gu Yunchen had already heard the commotion on the other side of the wall. He immediately went to the wall and saw Guan Ling Shuang standing against it.

The two locked eyes, and for a moment the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Gu Yunchen looked helpless, while Guan Ling Shuang seemed quite embarrassed. She bit her lip lightly and then said, "Um... why did you suddenly come here?"

Gu Yunchen subconsciously reached out and brushed a few strands of unruly hair behind his ear, his eyes flickering, seemingly a little unnatural.

He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and replied, "Oh, it was my mother who called me out. But please don't overthink it; actually, my mother misunderstood our relationship."

She mistakenly thought I was interested in you, which is why she was so eager to set us up.

But it really is just a misunderstanding. I'll definitely explain it to her properly when I get back..."

Upon hearing this, Guan Ling Shuang raised an eyebrow, her lips curving upwards slightly, and replied with a hint of teasing, "Oh, I see. It seems this so-called 'misunderstanding' is quite deep indeed."

Does your mother think I'm some kind of "white moonlight" for you?

At this moment, Guan Ling Shuang suddenly remembered what Jiang Mian Mian had said about her dying young, but then shook her head, thinking that perhaps she had just misheard or was hallucinating.

After all, there's a saying that "a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck," so maybe it was just that her right eye twitched.

Seeing Guan Ling Shuang's reaction, Gu Yun Chen quickly explained, "Sigh, I don't understand what caused this misunderstanding either."

That's why I rushed out to find you and explain things clearly, just in case you have any lingering resentment or unnecessary misunderstandings.

Guan Ling Shuang smiled and waved her hand to show her understanding: "Uh, no, don't worry about it. I wouldn't take such a small thing to heart, and I certainly wouldn't misunderstand you because of it."

As long as you don't actually confess your feelings to me, then I'll be fine.

Thus, Guan Ling Shuang completely ignored the slight unease she felt in her heart.

After all, she aspired to become a female general, so how could she let mere personal feelings hinder her progress?

Furthermore, she didn't care at all about men expressing their love for her. Because she knew that her charm wasn't something that could be achieved through such means.

She knew exactly what kind of person she was.

Besides, she has a great figure and looks, and her temperament is just as good as anyone else's; in every aspect, she is outstanding.

She is so perfect that she doesn't need to compete with anyone; she just needs to be her unique self.

"That's good, since you haven't misunderstood. In that case, there's something I need to tell you. Here's the situation..."

Gu Yunchen paused for a moment, then began to speak, explaining that he had recently encountered a thorny issue.

He wanted to find a woman to act out a so-called "romantic" affair with him, but it didn't really require them to have a real relationship; it was just an act for others to see.

Moreover, in order to create more obstacles and troubles for the other party, thereby increasing the "difficulty" she faced, he came up with a plan—to have Guan Ling pretend to be a woman who liked him.

However, this plan is not without risk; in fact, it is quite dangerous.

You should know that the women who tried to get close to him were by no means kind; they were either ruthless, cold-blooded killers.

They are either ruthless witches skilled in manipulating poisons, each one a chilling presence.

His words were not an exaggeration. Even his own mother, Jiang Mianmian, had been longing to completely sever her relationship with him for this very reason.

Sigh, Gu Yunchen sighed. Just thinking about it gave him a headache!

Just then, Guan Ling Shuang suddenly raised her head, her face full of shock.

With the enthusiastic "assistance" of Xiao Jiu and the others, she finally managed to attribute the strange phenomenon that was happening to her to so-called "auditory hallucinations".

Who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, she would get a completely different "truth" from Gu Yunchen!

At this moment, Guan Ling Shuang couldn't help but start to doubt herself: Could it be that the truth is not what she thought before, and that she does not actually have any special abilities?

Suddenly, as if she had just thought of something, Guan Ling Shuang blurted out, "The Gu woman you mentioned, could she be named Lan Die'er?"

"How did you know about this?!" This time, it was Gu Yunchen's turn to be greatly shocked.

However, he quickly regained his composure and pressed on, "Could it be... that you heard it from my mother?"

What I mean is, did you find out from something my mother accidentally let slip, or can you hear what my mother is thinking?

"When I was young, I had a strange illness that would flare up if I was in an overly quiet and isolated environment. I don't know if my father ever mentioned this to Uncle Gu?"

"Uh... I'm sorry. To be honest, I really don't know much about this. My dad only mentioned it to me briefly, but he didn't say much, so I'm not very clear about it."

However, now that you've explained it yourself, I understand the general idea.

"Actually, even I'm not quite sure if I was hallucinating just now."

But one thing I'm certain of is that I did hear that person's name from your mother, but... it wasn't said directly by her.

"But...but...it reached your ears through some special means. I think you can understand what that means..." Guan Ling Shuang asked tentatively.

"Did you hear my mother say that there was a 'label' above your head?"

"Huh? What label?" Guan Ling Shuang asked with a puzzled look.

"It's about categorizing and labeling people. For example, my labels are 'expert at spotting manipulative women' and 'ultimate villain.' What about you? What would yours be?"

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Liang Shishi's mind: "It should be 'wild rose with thorns'."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Did my mother ever mention anything about you 'dying young' or anything like that?"

"Hmm, it seems like I was at the border, engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy. Once, while scouting the enemy camp, my illness suddenly flared up, and my mental strength wasn't very good."

So, in my moment of mental confusion, the enemy discovered my whereabouts, and I was killed by someone else.

Gu Yunchen nodded and said, "Yes! That's why I chased after them. I'm worried that my mother's premonitions will really come true..."

After all, most of what my mother said has come true so far.

Speaking of this, Lan Die'er is the second woman I've encountered. Before her, there was another woman. She was also a female assassin.

However, there was another assassin, but my mother didn't tell us his name, so we don't know who he is.

"You say you're my 'white moonlight'?" Gu Yunchen said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Guan Ling Shuang was speechless and said awkwardly, "Uh, well... is it true that both the first and the second woman misunderstood that the 'white moonlight' in your heart was me?"

Therefore, you two constantly argue, get jealous of each other, and have all sorts of conflicts.
