Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1381 - 1379: Lucky Star

After freshening up, Guan Chuying sat on the chaise lounge, holding her tea, and spoke with her two close friends.

"I was the one who lost my composure just now, causing you both to laugh at me!" Guan Chuying said apologetically, her face full of regret.

Wufu glanced at her sideways and said, "Even if you were to fart in front of me, I wouldn’t mind."

Changping let out a chuckle. Seeing Guan Chuying glare, she said, "Yeah, we’re friends, after all!"

Guan Chuying shot them both a playful glance, then set down her teacup, grasped Wufu’s hand, and said, "Wufu, thank you. If it weren’t for you coming last time to reveal this matter, we wouldn’t know that he, he actually is..."

Her face turned slightly pale, and she found it hard to continue.

Guan Chuying wasn’t a fool; on the contrary, she was very clever. She understood that once the engagement was set in stone, the outcome would be much harder to deal with.

Xu Huazhang shied away from women. Marrying like this in a muddled manner, wouldn’t that mean living as a widow in name only, and could she even dare to say it out loud? After all, how many women quietly endured their husbands?

Guan Chuying wasn’t sure; now that the engagement hadn’t gone through completely, breaking it off would still leave her clean, even if it left her with a bit of a bad reputation, it was better than stepping into a pit of fire and guarding a wronged widow’s life.

Changping was particularly curious and asked Wufu, "Wufu, how did you find out?"

Wufu naturally wouldn’t tell the truth and simply said vaguely, "I have a few reliable people, and it just so happened they discovered it."

Changping, being straightforward, simply responded with an "oh" after hearing this, and said, "That’s really a coincidence. Wufu, you truly are Chuying’s lucky star!"

Guan Chuying, however, knew it wasn’t that simple, fearing that Wufu, upon hearing about her impending engagement, deliberately had someone keep watch, and indeed, they uncovered the truth.

Thinking of this, Guan Chuying squeezed Wufu’s hand once more with gratitude in her eyes.

"Wufu, no matter what, thank you! Otherwise, I fear..." Guan Chuying spoke with lingering fear, this kindness she remembered in her heart.

"Do you blame me for meddling in your engagement?" Wufu countered.

Guan Chuying replied solemnly, "Listen to you. Although I’m not someone extraordinary, I, Guan Chuying, know right from wrong and have a sense of propriety."

Wufu said, "Then there’s no need for thanks. I just didn’t want to see you jump into a pit of fire, since we’re good friends!"

Guan Chuying smiled and nodded heavily.

Changping remarked indignantly, "Who would’ve thought that Xu San was actually gay. It’s true what they say – you can’t know a person’s heart just by looking at their face, and to think we all thought he was good!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Guan Chuying’s face.

Wufu squeezed her hand and said, "It’s not your fault, don’t dwell on it. It’s the Xu family who should apologize and admit their mistakes. Being gay isn’t an issue, but they shouldn’t deceive innocent women."

"Wufu, you’re not actually disdainful of being gay?" Changping asked in surprise.

Wufu took a sip of tea and said, "I don’t discriminate against being gay. Love isn’t constrained by age or gender, as long as it’s heartfelt. I just dislike that they, knowing their hearts clearly, still conform to their family’s arrangements, even at the expense of innocent people. If I were Xu Huazhang and truly loved Lian Chuner, I’d overturn the heavens to be with him! In the end, he didn’t have the courage, so whether that love is true love is hard to say!"

Both of them listened, each lost in thought.

Seeing them this way, Wufu said, "I’m not suggesting you break all conventions and defy your parents. I just mean that we shouldn’t easily go against our own hearts. Some things, only after doing them, can we know if they’re worth it. Of course, the premise is that we can bear the consequences!"
