Gu Chaoyan had been bathing with the magical water, so the skin of her back was fair and white. Although she still looked slightly chubby, Zhou Huaijin found her very lovely.
The whip wound was healing well, leaving just a few traces of pink scars.
As his long fingers caressed the pink scars, Gu Chaoyan subconsciously cringed from the touch. She was about to speak something when she felt that the fingers were just touching the wound softly, nothing more. That already made Gu Chaoyan flush. She stayed silent.
She had even more wounds and scars in her previous life, but she had been totally alone back then. She dabbed the medicine for herself and took care of the wounds alone as well.
That was how she developed her medical skills.
She was a killer, so she could not possibly go to hospitals for the treatment of gun wounds most of the time. Under such conditions, she cured the wounds herself.
As she thought of those dark days, she found herself really happy right now. Because someone was concerned about her when she was injured.
Zhou Huaijin opened his arms and swept her into them, saying with a gentle voice. “Yan, I am never going to let you get injured again.”
“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan answered softly.
“You smell so nice.” Zhou Huaijin said as he leaned forward and took a sniff at her neck.
“You...”Gu Chaoyan turned around and pushed him away.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly felt a cool patch on her back. She realized that she had not yet put on the clothes. Gu Chaoyan mumbled as she saw Zhou Huaijin’s eyes, “You are not clean.”
“What?” Zhou Huaijin did not get what she said, so he took a step forward and approached her, asking.
He had just taken a step forward, when the door was opened.
Qing got startled at the scene in front of her, asking without thinking, “Miss, are we packing or not...”
Having done asking, she found the whole thing weird, so she lowered her head directly and turned around, saying, “I will be... outside.”
“Hang on.” Zhou Huaijin stopped her calmly. “I have other business to deal with, come and help your miss get dressed.”
As he said these words, he walked away quickly.
Qing was gasping, nodding dumbly.
Seeing Zhou Huaijin disappearing, Gu Chaoyan pulled up her dress. Qing got startled. “Miss!!! You and Lord Huai, you...”
“...”Gu Chaoyan’s face sank. That must be a misunderstanding!
“Miss, since Madame passed away when you were little, she had not been able to tell you something. But I have to tell you that it is something to be done after you get married! Miss, are you marrying Lord Huai? But he is Lord Huai!” Qing had not figured out what was going on.
Her miss had been divorced, and Qing never expected that her miss would marry anyone with an extraordinary status, as long as the husband was treating her nicely, but now... She and Lord Huai? But he was Lord Huai, the King’s most beloved son, whose mother was the Queen!
He was the most noble lord in the Saint Divine Land! He was much, much better than the Prince of Duke Changning!
Now, he was with Miss?
Qing got very excited. If that was true, Qing would be very happy for her.
Seeing Qing’s constantly changing face, Gu Chaoyan looked helpless.
Zhou Huaijin! He was so damn annoying!
Gu Chaoyan was just about to explain something to Qing, when Zhou Huaijin returned from outside. He looked radiant and had a few followers behind him.
