“Gu Moli, if you just stayed peacefully in your hometown and respected Gu Dagang, I wouldn’t come to put you in trouble, but it seems, this was all that you wanted to happen.”
“How can I let you go to the First Empire Academy and reunite with your sister, Bai Weiyang?”
Gu Yan picked up her things and headed to the wooden chairs to find Lu Ye.
She said, “Lu Ye, can you bring me to Principal Gao? I have something to report.”
“That’s fine.” Lu Ye nodded. He led Gu Yan towards Principal Gao’s office while asking, “Yanyan, how did the exam go?”
“Should be fine.” Gu Yan smiled, “Mrs. Sun and the teachers are marking the papers. I should be able to know the results. The fastest is tonight.”
Seeing the confident smile on his young wife, Lu Ye felt a bit thrilled. He couldn’t kiss her in public, so he flicked her hair behind her ear.
He smiled and teased, “You’re that confident?”
“It is necessary.” Gu Yan looked seriously at Lu Ye and softly said, “Ye, you don’t want to ask me about something, right?”
“Yes, but you probably haven’t thought about when to tell me.” Lu Ye smiled with a light in his eyes as bright as a star. “Although I don’t like secrets between us, I do respect your decision for choosing the right time to tell me. Also, Yan Yan, no matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally! You know what I mean?”
“Lu Ye…”
This time, it was Gu Yan who wanted to hug him to death.
But this was a school. Teachers and students will pass by soon.
They were close to the principal’s office. Gu Yan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
At this moment, Principal Gao had just finished work. He saw Gu Yan and Lu Ye come in together and smiled. “Comrade Gu Yan, how did it go with the exam?”
“I should be fine. I was able to answer all the questions.”
“You answered confidently, not bad.” Principal Gao smiled.
Gu Yan looked back at Lu Ye and saw him nod encouragingly.
She turned around and said, “Principal Gao, did Bai Weiyang help a girl named Gu Moli in transferring to the Primary Academy on the capital?”
Principal Gao’s teacup hands paused.
He immediately recalled how Bai Weiyang was outspoken of her profound detest for Gu Yan.
It seemed… the two had quite some conflict.
The principal smiled and sipped some tea. “There is such a thing.”
“I know Gu Moli too. I happened to see the report on Mrs. Li’s table just a while ago. I found… the grades on the report don’t match with hers. Although I do not contend that Bai Weiyang knows another Gu Moli, that would be archaically ambiguous.” After Gu Yan was relieved from saying this, she politely smiled and said, “Thank you for the exam, Principal Gao. I won’t disturb your work now.”
Principal Gao didn’t know what to say. He blankly looked at Lu Ye and nodded. “Lu Ye, Lu Ye, where did you find such a revelation? She’s so clever!”
Captain Lu can’t help but admire his young wife. “I have keen eyes!”
