Chapter 202 Princess Wenxue
Chapter 202 Princess Wenxue
Then, the two men walked up to He Yue anxiously, their faces full of worry and guilt.
One of them looked at He Yue with a look of heartache on his face, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, Yue, Dad is here! My precious daughter, all this is Dad's fault. It's all Dad's fault for not protecting you well. Hurry up and let Dad take a look. Did that ignorant brat hurt you?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, wanting to gently touch the parts of He Yue's body that might be injured.
The other person standing beside him also looked at He Yue with concern, his eyes revealing deep self-blame and regret.
At this moment, He Yue looked up at Gu Mingbai and Gu Wenbo in front of her, only to see that their eyes were particularly gentle, and that warm feeling seemed to be able to melt all the fear and anxiety in her heart.
This gentle look was completely different from the one he had given her before. In the past, it might have been a little harsh or indifferent, but now it was full of love and care.
He Yue couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, and asked in a weak but clear voice: "How...how did you know about this?"
Gu Mingbai's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at He Yue in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "Ah Yue, are you...are you really, really my daughter? So, where is your mother? Where is she now?"
By the end of his speech, Gu Mingbai was already sobbing. He stretched out his hands, wanting to touch He Yue, but as if he was afraid that this was all just a dream, his hands stopped in mid-air and he dared not let go.
He Yue shook her head gently and said firmly, "I really haven't seen her! Back then, my parents accidentally found me when I was a baby outside, and then kindly brought me home and raised me."
"For so many years, they have always treated me as their own child, giving me endless love and warmth. I know nothing about my biological parents. Even why I was abandoned remains a mystery. But thankfully, I now have my father and mother who love me and allow me to feel the warmth and happiness of family. So, even though I don't know my true origins, I still feel very content! Next, let me tell you every detail of my life here over the years..."
So, He Yue began to talk incessantly about the interesting stories she had experienced in this place.
After their in-depth and intense discussion, everyone's heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, and they were eager to find out what unknown truth was hidden behind the incident.
However, despite racking their brains and asking around, they were unable to find the key person who knew the whole story. As time passed, everyone fell into deep frustration.
At this anxious moment, He Yue's firm and resolute voice broke the silence: "No matter what, I must leave here!"
There was an unyielding light in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind. Hearing this, Gu Mingbai and Gu Wenbo's faces suddenly showed reluctance.
They had just reunited with their long-lost daughter, and before they had time to fully experience the joy of finding her again, they had to face the pain of separation again.
"Yue'er, don't go..." Gu Mingbai stretched out his hand, trying to keep his daughter.
Gu Wenbo stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with deep affection and sincerity. He slowly spoke, "Ayue, it took a lot of effort for me to finally recognize you. Now that we're reunited as siblings, could you please stay a few more days? Even just a few days would be great! This way, I, as your brother, would have the opportunity to make up for all the things I owe you over the years."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently placed his hand on A Yue's shoulder, as if he wanted to convey his deep love for his sister in this way.
Before He Yue could even open her mouth to speak, Gu Mingbai nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right! Ah Yue, your elder brother is absolutely right! Just stay a few more days. When the time comes, I, your father, will personally send someone to help you find your parents, how about that? If you're worried about others, then I, your father, will accompany you to find them, okay? As long as it can make my precious daughter feel at ease, your father is willing to do anything!"
He Yue stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on Gu Mingbai and Gu Wenbo. They both looked cautious, with pleading expressions in their eyes, like two pitiful puppies.
He Yue's heart couldn't help but move slightly. Although she knew that agreeing to this request might bring her some trouble, seeing how earnest they were, the softness deep in her heart finally prevailed.
She bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said softly, "Okay..." Although her voice was light, it seemed to carry a great weight, because this simple answer meant that she had made a decision and was willing to help the two seemingly helpless people in front of her.
Gu Mingbai and Gu Wenbo immediately became as happy as children, but Gu Wenzhi, who was standing aside, got up from the ground in a daze and left secretly with a guilty look on his face.
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the world. On this day, Gu Mingbai solemnly announced to the world that he had finally found his long-lost daughter.
This exciting news spread like wildfire across the country.
Everyone was buzzing with speculation about who this lucky girl was. When the mystery was revealed, everyone was stunned—the daughter Gu Mingbai had found was none other than the beautiful and kind He Yue! To express his deep paternal love and cherishment for her, Gu Mingbai decided to bestow upon her the unparalleled title of Princess Wenxue.
From then on, the name "He Yue" became the focus of everyone's attention. On the streets and in the alleys, after dinner, people were talking about the various legendary stories about Princess Wenxue.
Some said that she was so beautiful that the moon and flowers would be ashamed of themselves, and her beauty would make fish sink to the bottom of their bodies and geese fall to the ground; some praised her for being kind-hearted like an angel; and some said that she was extremely talented and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting... For a time, praises for Princess Wenxue were endless, as if the whole world had become more colorful because of her appearance.
Gu Wenshuang, hard at work, was stunned by this shocking news. She felt as if struck by lightning, and froze in her tracks. Her face, already slightly fatigued from the work, was now filled with disbelief and astonishment. It took a long moment for her to recover from her shock. A bitter smile played across her lips as she muttered to herself, "She...she actually dared to be a princess? How is that even possible?"
