Chapter 1190 - 1190 1176 Unstoppable

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1176: Unstoppable Chapter 1190: Chapter 1176: Unstoppable There was no other way; it seemed the only option was to delay. Guo Yuqing uttered one word: “Delay.”

“Delay?” Luo Rui asked, puzzled.

“Yes, there’s no other method now. Try to stall as much as possible, for as long as possible.” Guo Yuqing still could not let her sister Guo Yuyun marry Song Xizhi. Once she found out that Ye Chen had gone drinking after learning about his own sister’s impending marriage to Song Xizhi, she felt she had to take action.

“Indeed, it’s possible to find ways to delay,” Luo Rui reflected and then added, “However, the most important thing still depends on whether Ye Chen can break free from the magic power.”

Luo Rui was right, but Guo Yuqing had missed her chance with Ye Chen; she didn’t want her sister to suffer the same regrets. If one day Ye Chen recovered and by then her sister had already married Song Xizhi, would she regret it just like herself? Very likely. She didn’t want such a thing to happen.

If they could delay, then delay as long as they could. After all, he couldn’t think of a better solution at the moment.

Li Mo was right; she should delay, wait a bit, and then see.

As Luo Rui put down the letter, she said, “I’ll go make some food.” Unknowingly, dusk had fallen without her notice.

Guo Yuqing had a question in her mind. The plan was to stall, but how to delay without raising suspicion was the question.

Just as Luo Rui was about to leave, she remembered something and said, “That’s right, Jiang Shizi is coming tomorrow.”

Only then did Guo Yuqing remember; she had almost forgotten this matter. Jiang Shizi had said she had important things to tell her, and she had no idea what else this girl could consider important.

Luo Rui withdrew.

Su Zhanze really joined forces with Demon Palace City, wiping out all the people of the Tianye Demon.

Now, only Teng Yun’e’s bunch was left, though where those guys ended up, nobody knew. Suddenly, it seemed they had disappeared along with Zun Yu’s people.

Ever since her last conversation with Luo Rui, Guo Yuqing also felt that to break up with Su Zhanze under such circumstances would be too heartless. She decided to give Su Zhanze a chance.

After all, what could be more important than Su Zhanze turning into a good person?

She would not disdain Su Zhanze for his disfigurement; she didn’t care about things like that.

Her requirements were simple: to live together happily.

What else could she now desire? To make do with life, as long as he truly wanted to be a good person. To persist in the past would be unreasonable.

In his recent visits, Su Zhanze had even met with his stepmother, Xia Yue. Since Xia Yue had forgiven Su Zhanze, how could she say anything? To stubbornly resist, what’s the point? Could it be she still believed there was a possibility between her and Ye Chen?

That was not right; she should focus her spare time on current matters instead. The matter of her sister was the most vexing, was she really going to just let it be and watch them get married?

She didn’t want her sister to come back with regrets.

She had made up her mind to carefully plan it out. She had to drag it out, for as long as possible.

Guo Yuyun had just met with her mother, Xia Yue, and Song Xizhi.

Her mother had been so delighted she was at a loss for words, constantly praising Song Xizhi. It had been a long time since her mother was this happy, particularly after her father died, leaving her mother depressed.

Seeing her mother happy, she was naturally glad. She realized then that one should consider those around them; if they could be happy, that was what gave life meaning.

Song Xizhi was still as shy as ever. After spending some time here, he couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, “Yun’er, what do you think of me?”

Guo Yuyun was caught off guard and said, “You’re great, a bit silly, but very adorable.”

Song Xizhi smiled and clarified, “I meant to ask if we could be together.” Maybe he was being too hasty, but it had been a while.

Only then did Guo Yuyun realize what he meant, and her tone grew more serious.

“Ah, maybe I’m being too impatient.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yuyun shook her head and replied, “It’s not that you’re impatient. Alright, I’ll be honest with you. I don’t want to deceive you; I haven’t been able to forget Ye Chen, and I might never be able to.”

Her candor, her refusal to lie, made Song Xizhi happy because it showed she was sincere. He too became serious and said, “I don’t expect to replace him in your heart. He’s very important to you, and I understand that. It’s not something you can just forget if you decide to. Just like my feelings for you – I can’t just stop liking you if I want to. It comes from deep within, an inescapable feeling.”

She didn’t expect such words to come from this naive young man; it came as a surprise.

Song Xizhi continued, “You can always keep a place for him in your heart. I only hope that you can spare a little extra space for me, even if it’s just one-tenth of what he has.”

Guo Yuyun looked at Song Xizhi, moved. Surprisingly, his presence had brightened up her life considerably, her mother no longer pressed her to go on blind dates, and her family was much happier.

Song Xizhi went on, “I really like you a lot. Let me take care of you, and I promise to treat you well for a lifetime.”

After Ye Chen had left, she had never thought she might find someone else, nor had she wanted to think about it. She wasn’t foolish; she could tell that this silly boy genuinely liked her and wanted to be good to her. The mood suddenly turned serious as she said, “I will try my best to forget him.”

Song Xizhi was touched but insisted, “No, you don’t have to force yourself. I won’t mind. After all, your relationship with him came before ours, so I can’t demand that of you.”

“But that’s too unfair to you.”

He could tell that Guo Yuyun was willing to accept him. After all the hard work, he was finally being rewarded. He was so excited that he was about to jump up and embrace her, but he still dared not do so, for fear of scaring her.

“We could try it first.”

“I will definitely cherish it.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” She also knew it would probably be difficult for her to completely move on.

But Ye Chen was gone, and that had become a fact. Living couldn’t be just about herself; she also had to think about the people around her. It was also giving herself a chance.

Morning.

The sky was beginning to brighten.

Guo Yuqing had pondered the whole night but still couldn’t come up with a plan.

Her stepmother would definitely throw a fit if she knew she was trying to stop her biological daughter from marrying. The more she thought about it, the scarier it seemed.

But she couldn’t let her sister marry someone in such a hasty way.

It was breakfast time, and breakfast was nearly over.

Suddenly, a figure slipped in like a thief who had done something wrong. It was her sister.

Having agreed to take things further with Song Xizhi, she had to at least tell her sister, or else it would be hard to justify.

“Sister.”

“Have you had breakfast?” Guo Yuqing called out.

“Not yet.” She touched her stomach, feeling somewhat hungry.

“Then hurry up.” Yun’er came over at this time, perhaps with some issue. Seeing her expression, it was clear her mood had improved significantly from before, which was a positive sign. Yet, Yuqing thought, the improvement in her mood must be because of Song Xizhi. She knew the stepmother was always pressing them, as if she was afraid that she’d miss out on a great match.

Guo Yuqing understood as well. After their father died and Lou Xuancheng became the palace lord, their family’s status was no longer what it once was, which was especially evident when it came to finding a match for Guo Yuyun. Whose family wouldn’t want to aim for a higher threshold?

Any Sect Leader would ponder their son’s future, seeking a powerful alliance; marriage was also about looking for developmental prospects.

With their diminished status, securing a Sect Leader’s son as a match seemed like an act of providence. For Xia Yue, this also meant peace of mind. Compared to others, the Nine Leaves Sect was a considerable faction, and its recent development had been impressive. Xia Yue saw that Song Xizhi was very honest. Only Yu Yun could bully him so it seemed she was afraid her daughter wouldn’t get married, constantly pushing her towards him.

As if afraid that someone would snatch her away.

Guo Yuyun wasn’t shy and just started eating directly.

“You didn’t come just to have breakfast here, did you?”

At this time in the pavilion, it was just the two of them. Luo Rui had prepared the food and gone down to busily attend to other matters.

“I’ve decided to be with Song Xizhi.”

Hearing this, Guo Yuqing felt stunned and blurted out, “So soon?”

“It’s not that sudden. He’s been staying with us for over a month now.”

“But you two haven’t known each other for very long in total.”

Guo Yuyun calculated the time, which was almost since Ye Chen’s death, and said, “About four months, I guess.”

“Only four months.”

Guo Yuyun laughed and said, “That doesn’t sound like something you would say, sister.”

“It’s been only four months, yes, you can continue to get to know each other.” Guo Yuqing looked into Yun’er’s eyes.

Guo Yuyun replied with a smile, “Four months isn’t that short, you know. Others just have their parents meet, agree on both sides, and in less than a month, they are married and having children. If we keep delaying, I’m afraid he’ll get scared off.”

“If he really likes you that much, he won’t get scared off.”

Guo Yuyun grew serious and said, “I’m not just impulsively heated up; I’ve seriously considered it.”

“Then have you forgotten Ye Chen?” She could only bring that up, maybe to buy some time.

Guo Yuyun had long since let go. Upon hearing the name Ye Chen, she wasn’t as agitated as before and, while she paused, clearly accepted the fact that he was gone, and answered, “I guess I will never be able to forget him completely in this lifetime. Song Xizhi also said he wouldn’t mind. As long as I keep a place for him in my heart, it’s fine.”

“How could he not mind? He’s definitely concerned.” Guo Yuqing didn’t know what else she could say.
