When Gu Yuyao came back to Peach Blossom Garden that night, she released a sigh she didn't know she was holding, as soon as she confirmed that He Lianchen had already left. Hopefully, the man would stop showing up here, at Tang Moyu's place, until she can move out to her own place.
She didn't want to have a confrontation with him nor to be reminded of what they'd lost because of her cowardice. Just as He Lianchen said before, she was a coward for running away at the first sign of trouble.
Not that she could blame him, but Gu Yuyao really wanted to shed her identity as the heiress of the Gu family. Just like Moyu, she had a family, but she was no better than an orphan.
Several years ago, her older brother, the rightful heir of the Gu family, died in a car crash they were in. Since then, her parents seemed to have forgotten about her existence and blamed her for her brother's death.
