The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 98: Brother and Sister (First Update)

In the room filled with a faint smell of medicine, Madam Yao sat by her son’s bed, falling asleep against the bedpost through sheer exhaustion.

Gu Yan stealthily opened his eyes, slyly surveying Madam Yao for a moment before waving his slender hand before her eyes.

Once he had ascertained that Madam Yao was indeed asleep, a mischievous smile spread across his face as he slowly pulled the quilt aside and tiptoed off the bed.

He had grown up commanding respect and deference, and this was the first time he had to be so careful; it felt oddly exciting.

Gu Yan sneaked out of the room like a thief in the night.

Madam Yao moved slightly, nearly scaring Gu Yan into another bout of illness – luckily she did not wake up, but merely changed her position and continued sleeping.

The maid who was guarding the room was being distracted by a guard, as long as he managed to get out of the courtyard, he could join them.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by Yu Yaya as soon as he stepped into the front yard.

Yu Yaya, clutching a newly sewn quilt, looked at him quizzically: “Young Master, what are you up to? Didn’t Madam order you to stay in bed? Why are you out here barefoot?”

Gu Yan cleared his throat: “Would you believe me if I said I just wanted some fresh air?”

Yu Yaya’s face darkened, her arm holding the quilt while the other akimbo, she interrogated, “Are you planning to run away again?”

Gu Yan blinked guiltily.

Yu Yaya glared at him, “You really are trying to run! No, you can’t leave!”

Gu Yan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, emanating an ice-cold and deadly aura: “Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”

Defiantly, Yu Yaya asserted: “Even if you kill me, I won’t let you leave!”

Gu Yan helplessly put a hand to his forehead.

This girl was as inflexible as ever, stubbornly defensive, just as she was when she spoke up for Gu Jiao, and now she was standing in his way again!

Gu Yan was also known for his stubbornness, but this was then and now was different – now he was determined to see the most important person in his life, he didn’t care about face or pride anymore!

All it took was a second, and Gu Yan’s murderous demeanor completely changed!

He put on a pitiful face, gazing at Yu Yaya with watery eyes, looking as pathetic as one can get.

If he had whimpered just a little, Yu Yaya might have thought a puppy had taken over him.

“Yo-Young Master… what’s wrong?” Yu Yaya was unprepared for this surprisingly vulnerable version of the young master.

Gu Yan bit his lip in distress. “I just want to get some fresh air, just for a moment.”
