Chapter 423: You're Too Young

Yue Ruxue cursed as she tried to grab Gu Youyou and lift her to throw her into a corner, but before she could finish her sentence, she fainted, her consciousness blurring.

Gu Youyou pushed her away and tucked the silver needle back into her sleeve before dusting off her hands.

She sighed, "After all, you're too young, with such little wit, you're nothing without the Marquis Residence backing you…"

Urgent footsteps came from outside the door, Gu Youyou turned to look, and suddenly sunlight spilled in.

In the pitch-black room, the sunlight was blinding, causing her to instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes.

She saw a tall figure striding towards her, sweeping her into an embrace.

"Youyou!" A familiar voice, his characteristic scent.

She had known he would come, but not this quickly. If she had known, she would've delayed instead of provoking Yue Ruxue to act against her so soon.

She should have left the heroic rescue to him.

"Are you okay?"
