“Lady Chaoyan… I have something to ask you,” Prince Muyi said hesitantly and bashfully.
Gu Chaoyan, who had been feeling cold in her hands, reached for her teacup, but instead of drinking the tea, she looked at Prince Muyi, wondering what else he had for the cooperation. She looked at him carefully and said with a touch of warmth instead of being cold as before. “Oh yeah?”
Prince Muyi caught Gu Chaoyan’s eyes.
Suddenly, he regretted what he had said. They had just established a cooperation so what would Lady Chaoyan think of him, if he said something like this?
Also, the girls from the Saint Divine Land were different from the girls from the Feather Mulberry Land… the former were mostly introverted and quiet, and if he raised this question, it might seem rather sudden in her eyes… Also, some minister from the Saint Divine Land once said that girls’ marriage was normally discussed between their parents.
Prince Muyi felt messy inwardly.
He thought about spending some more time with Lady Chaoyan, so that she could get to know him better… and then he would speak with the Elderly of the family.
Prince Muyi was silent for a while.
Gu Chaoyan found it strange. So she asked Prince Muyi once again. “Prince Muyi, what did you want to tell me?”
Prince Muyi brought himself back. For one second, he hesitated, but he was suddenly reminded of the elderly people in Lady Chaoyan’s family… So her elderly family were those from the Gu Mansion…. they did not seem like good people.
Prince Muyi said angrily, “Lady Chaoyan, you will have to be careful about those from the Gu Mansion. When we went to see you at the Gu Mansion, the Old Master was talking ill about you. I met you before, so I knew you were not like that! How could he say such things about you! I would have misunderstood you, if we had not met and I heard his words.”
He skipped the part about the Third Lady’s strange behavior. Lady Chaoyan was a girl and he should not mention such a thing in front of her, but he had to remind her about the Old Master.
Especially after he got to know Lady Chaoyan, he was more certain about the Old Master’s intention.
Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan did not say anything more. She found what Gu Zhenkang said very normal, so she did not think much about that. Gu Zhenkang was not worth her attention, but what made Gu Chaoyan confused was how Prince Muyi knew about the Gu Mansion and why he went to find her at the mansion?
Normally, he did not know much about families in the capital. He should have come to the Yellow Crane instead if he wanted to find her… well, something must have happened.
Gu Chaoyan could not understand it, but she thought for a while and believed that maybe he asked his staff to look into the address.
Some people did not know that she had already moved out.
Well, that made sense.
Gu Chaoyan stopped thinking about that.
“Don’t worry, I will handle that myself.” Gu Chaoyan replied. She felt thankful about Prince Muyi who trusted her, but Gu Chaoyan was not good at expressing her gratitude.
Prince Muyi smiled. “That sounds good.”
By this time, Manager Song had just finished writing the contract and after both of them sealed the deal with their fingerprint, the business was settled.
Gu Chaoyan had wanted to share something about wine with him, but stopped herself. She needed to wait for a couple more days.
Manager Song took Prince Muyi away.
The moment they left, Sword One asked. “Elder Miss, are we going to do something about the Gu Mansion?”
