Chapter 709: Gu Yundong’s Guilt

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong patted her hand and said, “Since you came to look for Bai Muzi, why didn’t you tell me the day before yesterday?”

“It’s not easy to get Bai Muzi. I’m worried that it’s fake news. We have to confirm it first. Otherwise, won’t all of you be happy for nothing?”

Reality proved that it was indeed fake.

Even though he didn’t have much hope from the beginning, Shao Qingyuan was still disappointed.

Gu Yundong asked him, “Other than this time, how many other times have you heard news about Bai Muzi?”

“Two times, I guess. Unfortunately, neither of them are real…”

Gu Yundong fell silent for a moment.

She did not speak. Shao Qingyuan could not help but pat her back. “What’s wrong? There’s no need to be disheartened. We’ll find it eventually. It’s not like there’s only one Bai Muzi in the world. We’ll find it if we search longer.”

Gu Yundong sighed and smiled bitterly. “Bai Muzi is clearly what my mother needs. I’m not as focused on that as you.”

She felt ashamed. It seemed that ever since she brought Madam Yang to see Song Dejiang and confirmed that her life was not in danger, Gu Yundong had been half relieved. Although she was also looking for Bai Muzi, she was no longer in such a hurry.

As for Shao Qingyuan, in order to find Bai Muzi, he went deep into the mountains, opened a pharmacy, memorized the medicinal ingredients, and understood the characteristics of similar herbs. As long as there was any news, he would personally go over to confirm it.

She actually did not know how much he had done and how much effort he had put in.

Compared to him, she did very little.

Gu Yundong lowered her head slightly. At that moment, self-reproach and guilt surged.

Shao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment before saying, “Aren’t you earning money?”

“Hmm?”

Shao Qingyuan pinched her tender cheek and felt the soft touch under his hand. His voice was hoarse as he said in a low voice, “I’m looking for the herbs. Isn’t it just right for you to earn money and buy them?”

His voice was low and deep, as if he could comfort people. “Bai Muzi is rare and expensive. If you don’t work hard to earn more money, what if you can’t buy it when you find it later?”

Hmm? That seemed to make sense.

“Your ability is limited alone. You can’t take care of everything. You’ve already done it very well. Besides, I can’t let you do everything. Then why do you still need me, your fiancé? You have to leave something for me to do.”

Gu Yundong laughed. When did this person become so good at comforting people?

She was really too used to doing everything herself, even though she had a family and a fiancé now.

However, she was only one person after all. There were some things that she could hand over to someone close and trusted, right?

Gu Yundong suddenly understood. She hugged Shao Qingyuan. “Alright, let’s work hard together. I’ll be in charge of working hard to earn money. You’ll be in charge of finding medicinal herbs and treating my mother.”

“Okay.”

The woman in his arms was soft. Holding her, Shao Qingyuan felt unprecedented satisfaction. He couldn’t bear to let go.

Unfortunately, there was a commotion outside the door.

Gu Yundong let go of him and rubbed his face twice with a smile until it was red. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back first.”

Shao Qingyuan heaved a sigh of relief and pulled her open the door.

The few people standing outside were stunned for a moment and quickly took a few steps forward.

Shao Qingyuan and Xue Qin didn’t look at the expectant Xue Qin and walked out of Village Chief Jiao’s house first.

The Jiao Village was very lively. Shao Qingyuan didn’t care and the group walked towards the entrance of the village.
