Chapter 457 You're Not Allowed to Go

Duan Yujing and Li Yan would exchange glances from time to time, their every move displaying an indescribable tacit understanding.

The moonlight, as clear as water, spilled over the tranquil and elegant courtyard of the Gu family home, adding a touch of mystery to the entire night.

After the banquet, Li Yan warmly arranged rooms, hoping that everyone could stay for the night and enjoy this joyful time.

Old Master Duan was getting on in years and his energy was limited; even amidst the lively atmosphere of the banquet, he felt a bit tired.

He went upstairs early with the help of the servants and returned to his room to rest.

Grandpa Duan walked slowly, his eyes showing a hint of satisfied weariness, as if recalling the joyful scenes of the evening.

Meanwhile, the young people downstairs were like a bonfire that had been lit, burning brighter and brighter as they had a great time.

They sat together and started playing all sorts of fun games, such as dares and rock-paper-scissors, their laughter echoing throughout the room.

"Haha, I won! You'll have to choose a dare this time, Gu Tingyu."

Gu Suiwan smiled excitedly, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement, and she was full of energy.

Gu Tingyu shrugged helplessly: "Alright, alright, a bet's a bet. Tell me, what kind of adventure do you want me to take?"

Seeing how much fun these young people were having, Li Yan was overjoyed.

A happy smile graced her face, while Duan Yujing quietly stayed by Li Yan's side, his eyes never leaving her, as if she were the center of his world.

"Looking at them reminds me of our youth, when we were just as carefree and full of energy as they are," Li Yan said with emotion.

Duan Yujing gently held Li Yan's hand: "Yes, we are still young now."

Li Yan chuckled: "Our mental age has reached a certain level."

The two exchanged a smile, and then, while everyone was having a great time, they quietly slipped out of the courtyard and went into the garden for some fresh air.

The garden was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Hand in hand, they strolled along the path, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.

"The moon is so beautiful tonight," Li Yan said softly, looking up at the bright moon.

"Yes, just as beautiful as you." Duan Yujing smiled as he looked at Li Yan.

However, happy times are always short-lived.

After a while, Gu Tingyu got drunk, his steps became unsteady, and his eyes became somewhat glazed.

"I can't go on anymore, I need to go upstairs and rest. You guys keep playing..."

Gu Tingyu mumbled something, then went upstairs with the help of a servant.

Jiang Yi also felt a little tired, yawned softly, and said, "I'm going to rest too. Have fun, everyone."

She left with a tired smile on her face.

After Gu Tingyu and Jiang Yi left, everyone felt tired and dispersed to their rooms to rest.

Gu Tingyan found Duan Yujing, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

He walked up to Duan Yujing and sternly warned, "Duan Yujing, don't you dare make any rash moves. Don't sneak into my mother's room, or you're dead!"

Duan Yujing obediently agreed on the surface, "Don't worry, I won't."

At night, everything is silent.

Duan Yujing lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Li Yan's smile kept appearing in his mind, and an impulse surged in his heart.

He quietly got up, put on his clothes, and tiptoed out of the room, heading towards Li Yan's room.
