Gu Chaoyan was about to say something, when Zhou Huailing hurried off.
Gu Chaoyan sighed and turned to the other direction. What was going on?
Now she realized that in this area, she would always be the target of some marriage affairs as long as she was single. Look at Princess Gu, Madame Gu and everyone else! Now even Lord Ling was involved.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Sword One, who was standing next to her, found that her Miss was not in the right mood. So she added. “Elder Miss, don’t worry, Lord will solve this problem.”
“...”
“They asked you to stay at the court for a few more days and leave when the Young Duke gets better. Lord has already found a place for you to live, want to have a look at it?” Sword One said. Since they were in the court, she had to speak in a very polite and official way.
Sword One got very annoyed when it came to Lord Ling’s behavior, but she could not say a thing about it, after all there were lots of unknown people going about in the court. She could get herself in trouble, but she could not get her Miss into trouble. That was why she was behaving very discreetly.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Judging from the conversation between the imperial doctors and the Dean as well as their respective attitudes towards the Young Duke, she could tell that this Young Duke must be someone important. Otherwise his illness would not have been paid so much attention to. Now he was still very feeble and might be in danger at any moment, so as his doctor, she had the obligation of remaining until he recovered.
Gu Chaoyan did not have any opposition towards this idea, so she followed Sword One to the place arranged by Zhou Huaijin.
“It is a place specially used to receive outsiders. The Dean will live here these days too, so don’t worry, Miss.” Sword One stressed before she opened the door.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She had nothing to worry about at all. Even if there were monsters and demons in the court, she still had Zhou Huaijin to lean on.
The moment she opened the door, Gu Chaoyan fell into a pair of arms, as Sword One left and shut the door.
Gu Chaoyan knew instantly that Zhou Huaijin was in the room. She gave him a slight push. “Alright, alright.”
Zhou Huaijin did not release her, and instead tightened his hug.
His Yan was such an outstanding girl that everyone liked her! In the meanwhile, he was also very concerned about Yan – why was she always involved in such annoying matters and getting surrounded by those who tried to use her.
When he heard what Sword One said, he felt very heartbroken.
“Let’s get married.” Zhou Huaijin said resolutely. As long as she married him, she would be away from all those messes. And she could live happily and freely under his shelter and she was going to have a fun life too. She did not need to fear anybody, nor did she need to tolerate anyone’s bullying.
Gu Chaoyan had a slight change of expression on her face.
The person who treated her best in this world had to be this man standing in front of her.
There was no reason for her to hesitate, so she nodded. “Okay!”
Zhou Huaijin was surprised as if he had heard something strange. He took hold of Gu Chaoyan’s shoulders and gazed directly at her, asking with excitement. “Really?”
“Yes.” Gu Chaoyan answered again.
A bright smile hovered over Zhou Huaijin’s face, as he paced about in the room cheerfully.
It was real! Yan was really willing to marry him!
“Yan, stay at the court these days, and let me arrange the wedding. Don’t worry!” Zhou Huaijin said excitedly.
