Gu Jihu carried Gu Jin to her room, his steps light and careful.
He glanced down at her sleeping face. Her breathing was soft and steady, her usual cold expression gone. She looked peaceful, like a child who finally found a safe place to rest.
Mrs. Gu followed behind, holding the blanket.
As soon as Gu Jihu placed Gu Jin on the bed, Mrs. Gu gently covered her with the blanket and tucked her in. She sat on the edge of the bed, brushing Gu Jin's hair away from her face.
Gu Jihu and Mrs. Gu left the room.
Suddenly Mrs. Gu tapped on her forehead and said,
"Gu Jin's fiance wants to meet with us."
Gu Jihu's eyes narrowed, and a strong sense of reluctance appeared in his eyes,
"Tell him, the engagement process will be on halt for the next 100 years."
Mrs. Gu chuckled.
"You don't want to part with your little sister?"
