Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Cross-Dressing Female General VS Enchanting Fem Fatale (27) Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Cross-Dressing Female General VS Enchanting Fem Fatale (27) Old General Fu looked at his daughter and after uttering those words, the weight that had been pressing on his heart for decades was finally lifted.
“It has nothing to do with you; it’s all my fault.” Old General Fu’s expression returned to calm as he looked at his daughter.
“For so many years, I’ve always felt that you hated , that you probably didn’t want to see .”
“That’s why I never told you that you have always been my proudest daughter. My reluctance to see you more often isn’t because I don’t want to, but because I feel that I am not a qualified father, with no dignity to face you.”
Old General Fu and Fu Yunzhen, father and daughter, finally had their first heart-to-heart conversation in twenty-four years that afternoon.
That evening, Gu Shengyin arrived at Jiang Huan’s residence.
“Join for a drink!” Gu Shengyin said just that to him.
Jiang Huan instinctively sensed that sothing significant had happened to Gu Shengyin, but seeing her deanor, he did not ask further and simply ordered the servants to quickly prepare a table of good dishes and bring out the aged wine from the Prince’s Mansion.
Gu Shengyin poured drink after drink into her mouth, her expression oscillating between sadness and joy. The recent words of Old General Fu hadn’t greatly impacted Gu Shengyin herself, but they had completely overturned the twenty-four-year understanding of Fu Yunzhen’s persona.
Thus, she was feeling very emotional at the mont and just wanted to find soone to drink heavily with and then fall into a deep sleep.
For Gu Shengyin, her lover was undoubtedly the best choice. She could reveal everything without reservations in front of him.
Jiang Huan silently watched Gu Shengyin drink deeply until her eyes clearly began to show signs of intoxication.
He reached out and held Gu Shengyin’s hand as she picked up another cup, “That’s enough, Yunzhen, you’re drunk.”
But could Gu Shengyin’s skills be easily restrained by him? With a flip of her wrist, she cleverly broke free from Jiang Huan’s grip and took another drink in the blink of an eye.
“No, no, no, I’m happy,” Gu Shengyin laughed and gave Jiang Huan a secretive wink.
“You know? I always thought he didn’t like , but today he told that his coldness and sternness were because he felt sorry for ,” Gu Shengyin chuckled carelessly, unconcerned about sharing these matters with Jiang Huan.
“Actually, being a mber of the Fu family and taking on the responsibilities of the Fu family, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Why didn’t he tell sooner?”
Jiang Huan listened silently, gathering from her words that Gu Shengyin was talking about her father, Old General Fu.
The estrangent between Old General Fu and his only son, Fu Yunzhen, in the Capital City was no secret, and publicly, these two always treated each other with cold disdain.
But according to Gu Shengyin, was there more to the story?
Jiang Huan didn’t ask; he knew that Yunzhen just needed soone to talk to, not necessarily requiring a response from him.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was the shocking news that Gu Shengyin was about to reveal next.
“All these years, all my efforts, risking life and death, weren’t they just to earn his approval? Just to let him know that I, his daughter, am not inferior to any man; and he actually said what he cared about wasn’t this…”
“Clang!” Jiang Huan’s hand shook, knocking a nearby glass over onto the table, so of its remaining wine spilling onto his robes, but he was already too distracted to care.
