Chapter 1377: Duo Tianlin (1)
Gu Cheng and Gu Ming left, and Yang Ruxin returned to her room and entered the space.
Chu Rui was still lying quietly, just as when she had been moved into the space.
Yang Ruxin sat beside her, sighing, "I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but tomorrow you can see your Brother Tianlin. It’s just that the Chu Family doesn’t recognize you...

But it took twenty-six long years... Fortunately, I have held on until I could see you again..."
