Gu Chaoyan cringed subconsciously, looking at him in confusion.
Could it have been something else? What was wrong with Lord Huai? What made him angry all of a sudden? He had been fine a while ago.
Gu Chaoyan smiled embarrassedly. “What is wrong? Did I say something weird?”
The next second Zhou Huaijin swept her into his arms, lowered his head and touched her lips. He took a gentle bite at her lips as a means of punishment.
Gu Chaoyan realized what he had done to her, so she kept struggling, but...
Even the slightly chubby girl like Gu Chaoyan looked quite small in the arms of the tall Zhou Huaijin. Her struggle did not work and she could not get rid of his grip.
Seeing her Miss being bullied, Qing was about to rush up, “Miss, I am coming!”
However, the moment Qing took a step forward, Lord Huai’s servants dragged her away. They kept winking at Qing, however, she didn’t pay it any attention. What dominated her mind was that her Miss was being bullied! The servants could not stop Qing from going forward, so they pressed down her head so she could see nothing.
The couple was left alone.
Zhou Huaijin found the whole thing wonderful, and the girl in his arms tasted so sweet. He had thought about behaving more like a gentleman in front of Yan. However, Yan seemed to show no willingness, so he decided to not stay gentle, but went with his feelings. The girl had, after all, agreed to be his Princess, his only princess.
It was not until Gu Chaoyan could not breathe any more that Zhou Huaijin released her and said cheerfully, “Yan, don’t say such words any more, or you will know what you are going to get from me.”
Gu Chaoyan’s face sank. She lifted her fist and was about to hit Zhou Huaijin when he gripped the fist and said, “Alright, don’t be childish. Let’s eat lunch.”
They were talking as he led Gu Chaoyan forward with her hand in his.
Gu Chaoyan was still showing an expression of confusion – so she was not allowed to reveal that they were just cooperative partners?
Gu Chaoyan was still flushing with heat. At that moment, she even forgot to fight against Zhou Huaijin.
The lunch was very rich.
Gu Chaoyan made a rough count and concluded that there were at least 30 dishes, each of which had totally different food.
Gu Chaoyan’s face twitched. “Are you feeding a pig?”
Zhou Huaijin’s long fingers covered Gu Chaoyan’s lips. “Yan, be careful about what you say.”
Gu Chaoyan let out a small sound of agreement. She did not understand what he really meant. There were many rules in Lord Huai’s Mansion. It was an imperial mansion, after all.
They sat down.
Zhou Huaijin said calmly, “The food served at Lord Huai’s Mansion might not be as excellent as that of the King, so if you think the food here is for pig feeding, what about the food for the King?” Zhou Huaijin looked at Gu Chaoyan with a pair of heated eyes.
Gu Chaoyan covered up her own mouth, after realizing what happened. She let out an embarrassed smile.
She might have been a top killer in her previous life, yet she was in a different time when she did not dare to counter the King. She had to be careful about what she said.
Instead of saying anything more, Gu Chaoyan focused on eating the food.
She was so hungry that she kept stuffing food into her mouth. Yet she was still graceful.
As he watched Gu Chaoyan eating the food Zhou Huaijin became more hungry too.
Suddenly, Zhou Huaijin thought of something and said, “The housekeeper of the Gu Mansion came and asked about you. But I told him that you are staying here for a few more days and will not return until you recover. Sounds okay? I don’t expect that the staff from the Gu Mansion will take great care of you.”
The last sentence he said was full of inquiries and expectations.
