After Pei Yan sent him back to the Capital City, Gu Xun never went to Jiangnan to find Mei Wanying.
Now that Pei Yan had successfully ascended the throne, Gu Xun finally came to his senses. He realized just how laughable his previous ideas had been.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never climb higher than the Royal Family.
'How could a plan to use power and influence to restrain Pei Yan and snatch Mei Wanying back from him ever work?'
The best thing he could have done was go to Jiangnan and pursue Mei Wanying. If she had just agreed, who could have stood in their way?
But logic told Gu Xun that Mei Wanying would never agree to be with him now.
His one and only chance had been destroyed by Pei Yan. Now, he would never have the woman he longed for.
Gu Xun considered pestering her relentlessly, just like Pei Yan.
But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to take that step.
He was not like Pei Yan.
