Chapter 1239 I have already thought about it for His Highness

With that said, she turned around and took out the herbal tea and a plate of pastries that had been prepared from behind the bill collection counter.

Gu Zixiao frowned.

Was she prepared?

"I guessed that His Highness would be curious about whether I am the Zhuang Ruoyun you know, and I also thought that you would come back to confirm."

"So, I am here specially to wait for His Highness."

Gu Zixiao listened and silently sat down opposite her.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the furnishings in the room between the two of them.

Even Zhuang Ruoyun's face became clear again.

After not seeing each other for several years, she became more dignified than when they first met.

The emotion in her dark eyes was quiet, just like her own, hiding light and openness.

Zhuang Ruoyun was also secretly sizing up the eldest prince.

Gu Zixiao was the same as she remembered, unchanged at all.

Deep eyebrows, calm demeanor, and upright character.

Gu Zixiao was inevitably curious: "Why are you in Xili Country?"

"Back then, I went to the Zhuang Mansion to look for you once, but your family refused, saying that you were sick and it was inconvenient to see guests."

Since then, he has never seen Zhuang Ruoyun again.

Gu Zixiao didn't like this girl.

I just occasionally think of Zhuang Ruoyun, and I can't help but wonder, is she still being bullied by her parents now?

Zhuang Ruoyun is not like that ordinary scheming woman.

It stands to reason that since she met Grand Master Du and the eldest prince by chance, she should use her connections to open up a path for herself so that her life would not be so difficult.

However, Zhuang Ruoyun never found them.

A few years passed by and we met again in another country.

Zhuang Ruoyun smiled, his eyes elegant but showing fearless freedom.

"Because the Zhuang Mansion can't tolerate me, my parents haven't treated me well because of my second sister Zhuang Miaoyin."

"I couldn't bear it any longer, so I started a rouge business with some of the banknotes that His Highness left behind and some money from selling things."

"Later, as His Highness saw, my business grew and I made a lot of money, and I didn't even want to go back to that place."

"So we opened the shop to Xili Country." As she said that, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Zixiao.

Gu Zixiao sat upright, his eyebrows calm, and he nudged: "Thank you, but no need."

Zhuang Ruoyun didn't force it.

Gu Zixiao was surprised after hearing her experience.

In today's world, women don't easily show up in public. Going to school is already the limit, let alone doing business.

His sister Gu Nuoer is the only one in Da Qi, and now Zhuang Ruoyun has become stronger because of it.

Gu Zixiao pondered for a moment and then said sincerely: "Since you are doing well now, I am happy for you."

Zhuang Ruoyun smiled and did not stick to this topic, but quickly asked: "Your Highness came to Xili to take the princess back?"

Gu Zixiao didn't hide anything and nodded: "Father is already a little anxious from waiting."

"You guessed it, the emperor loves Princess Yaoguang so much, so of course he can't bear to see her being doted on by other emperors. As far as I know, the emperor of Xili Kingdom, Ling Tianyin, loves the little princess very much."

Gu Zixiao frowned slightly when he heard this.

Is that really the case?

No wonder his father asked him to set off immediately without delay.

He slightly cupped his hands and said, "From Miss Zhuang's words, you should know how to get in touch with my sister. Please let me know. I will be very grateful."

Zhuang Ruoyun's eyes were brightly illuminated by the candlelight, making the darkness even more attractive.

She turned around and picked up an imperial list from the table.

He smiled at Gu Zixiao and said, "I have already thought about it for His Highness."
