I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Shen Youyao stood there for a while, feeling increasingly useless.

She just said "but," clearly wanting to muster up the courage to ask Gu Yan to play with her.

She's never actually been to an amusement park in her entire life.

She really wanted to...

I really want to ride the carousel with Gu Yan and watch the fireworks together, even if it's just once.

She thought of the hug Gu Yan had given her in the hallway before.

At that moment, her heart started racing, her mind went blank, and all that remained was the clean, pleasant, and reassuring scent emanating from Gu Yan.

Could that be love?

Humans are really strange sometimes.

Even though a hug is just a simple action, the brain always secretly tells the heart that it is love.

Perhaps the hug was simply to make up for the missing heartbeat in the right chest cavity.

Shen Youyao is really, really sad right now.

She can't do anything.

Miss Chen's aura was too powerful, like a goddess, and she couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

And... am I really worthy of Gu Yan?

Gu Yan became world-famous at the age of ten.

The entire Great Xia Dynasty called him the Imperial Jade, and foreign media called him the God-given Comforter.

Will there really be a future for someone who stands aloof like that, someone you admire?

Having a crush is really painful. It's like having a thorn hidden in your heart. When you don't move, it aches faintly, but when you move, it hurts even more.

And what about her?

She only knows how to do a little housework, has no parents, and no one has ever truly liked her.

Even if there were, they would only be scum like Wang Hu, who only wanted to use her body.

She didn't even have the courage to look Gu Yan in the eye, always keeping her head down.

I'm so useless.

The girl stood there, lost in thought, like a forgotten plaster statue.

Chen Sinian glanced at her, feeling a little guilty, but ultimately said nothing.

Just then his phone rang; it was Uncle Fu calling. He immediately retreated to a dark corner to answer the call.

With people coming and going all around, the noisy amusement park music sounded particularly jarring.

Shen Youyao lowered her head and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "I'm so useless..."

Just then, a clear, cold voice, carrying a faint air of nobility, rang out in her mind without warning.

"Tsk tsk, Shen Youyao, you really are pathetic."

Shen Youyao's body stiffened abruptly, as if her blood had frozen instantly.

"I couldn't even protect the man I loved; I could only watch helplessly as he walked away with another woman."

"What a pitiful little thing."

This time she heard it clearly!

I heard it perfectly clearly!

Did you want to possess him the first two times, on and off?

She thought it was just a hallucination caused by too much stress.

But this time, the voice was extremely penetrating, echoing directly in her mind!

It's definitely not a hallucination!

"Who...who are you?"

Shen Youyao turned pale with fright, her lips trembling, and asked in a breathy voice.

"Do you want to win your Gu Yan back?"

"Poor little thing... I can help you."

The noble, cold voice did not answer her question, but continued to speak in that slightly mocking tone.

Shen Youyao was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What...what do you want?"

"It's very simple."

The voice carried a hint of seduction, "Let me temporarily take your place."

"I can help you get Gu Yan back."

"He will only look at you, and belong only to you."

Shen Youyao lowered her head, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly. After a few seconds of silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "Then... will I disappear?"

"Ha ha……"

The voice in my head laughed out loud, with a playful tone, "You poor little wretch, you're really cute."

"Don't worry, I won't do that."

"I'm just helping you get back what you were too afraid to take."

Shen Youyao was somewhat tempted.

If... if it were really possible...

The feeling of unrequited love is so painful; she can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything about it.

She should probably say yes.

But the next second, Gu Yan's words as he gently stroked her hair suddenly exploded in her heart.

"You are first and foremost yourself."

Like a bucket of cold water being poured over her, Shen Youyao instantly sobered up.

"No...you still haven't told me who you are?"

"Who knows if you'll hurt Gu Yan?"

"I won't listen to you."

She shook her head vigorously, her voice still soft, but tinged with wariness and determination.

The voice in my mind fell silent for a moment.

Then, it responded softly in a tone that was almost a sigh, yet carried a strange resonance.

"It's me, your older sister..."

"It's you, Shen Youyao."

......

Back to Gu Yan.

He pushed Cecilia's wheelchair along the bustling amusement park path, looking extremely uncomfortable.

What kind of mess is this?!

The last auction, when Cecilia inexplicably barged into his private room, was absurd enough.

This time it's even more outrageous. He personally arranged a healing script where the male lead, Bai Zikong, vanished without a trace, while he himself was inexplicably thrust into the position of the male lead.

He wrote the script himself and starred in it!

This is indeed a bit difficult to manage.

Counting the days, today is over, and there are only three days left before he flies to South Africa to bask in the sun.

What kind of nonsense is it to pull this stunt at this critical juncture?

He secretly glanced at Cecilia with his Emotional Eyes.

Hmm, the female lead seems to be in a good mood. Her icy blue eyes are quietly taking in the fairytale castles and cartoon characters along the way, and her long silver hair is swaying gently in the breeze.

"Miss Cecilia, we...have been strolling around for a while now, haven't we?"

Gu Yan cleared her throat and tentatively began to speak.

Cecilia didn't turn her head, her voice drifting over indifferently: "Only ten minutes."

"Mr. Gu, are you so eager to see your lover?"

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then said helplessly, "She's just an ordinary little sister..."

Cecilia didn't respond to that.

She raised her slender finger and pointed to a huge sign in the distance decorated with eerie vines and glowing bats.

The Dark Forest Roller Coaster.

"Let's go there and take a look."

Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered!

To win Cecilia's favor, Bai Zikong deliberately arranged several small scenes in various projects where he rescued her or showed his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

There definitely are roller coasters here, and quite a few of them!

The actors have all rehearsed and are just waiting for the male lead to appear and trigger the scene.

But now the male lead has been changed to him!

Those actors... they probably aren't still acting, right?

Seriously, don't do this.

Gu Yan felt a little uneasy, so she quietly took out her phone, intending to send a message to Chen Sinian to ask him.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Not right.

Gu Yan frowned.

How long have they been apart?

Why wouldn't Chen Sinian, that doting father, answer the phone?

After all, his daughter was still with him.

Holy crap... Boss Chen, don't mess with me!

Unbeknownst to Gu Yan, Chen Sinian was frowning as he looked at the travel-worn, unexpected guest before him.

The Emperor of the Underworld.

Lin Jinyu's father, Lin Zhenting.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He glanced at it and saw it was Gu Yan, but the Lin family patriarch in front of him was so aggressive that he couldn't answer for the time being.

Chen Sinian could only say in his heart, "I'm sorry, Master Gu Yan, I'll have to keep you waiting a little longer."
