Next to him was Fu Bao as well as an armed guard dressed in black whom Gu Chaoyan had never met before. Behind him were a few pageboys.
That was one of the few times when Gu Chaoyan saw what Lord Huai should be like.
Because of his calling out to Gu Chaoyan, he no longer looked that serious. Instead, he had a small smile on his face and he looked rather gentle as he walked towards Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan’s anger disappeared as well. She smiled and asked “What are you doing here?”
“I am here because of you.” Zhou Huaijin answered briefly, but as he looked over Gu Chaoyan and saw Gu Yunhe, he frowned as coldness dominated his eyes. Lucky he was here today, otherwise Chaoyan would be bullied by those people again. How dare the Gu Family treat her like this – she was already the appointed Princess Consort who should never be treated in this way.
Gu Yunhe’s heart skipped a beat as he spotted Zhou Huaijin. He had not expected that Zhou Huaijin would have shown up for the Gu Family’s sake. He was Lord Huai who should have only been available at Lord Ling’s Mansion for this wedding.
Ruxue was indeed marrying Lord Ling, but he was going to work in the capital in the future and he should not offend Lord Huai!
Gu Yunhe sweated heavily, although it was autumn. He got up directly and made a move towards Zhou Huaijin, bowed and said with a flattering smile, “Lord Huai, what are you doing, here is a seat for you.”
Gu Yunhe was trying to suck up to him, but instead of looking at him, Zhou Huaijin said to Gu Chaoyan. “Come with me, your father got a seat for me over there.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She just took one step when she suddenly thought of something, “Wait.”
Zhou Huaijin stood there patiently.
Gu Chaoyan moved to the corner and saw Gu Yunxuan. “Second Brother, come here.”
“What is it, Chaoyan?” Gu Yunxuan looked confused. He also spotted Lord Huai, but he did not dare to make a move. He was a concubine’s son, and father once stressed that it should be the Elder Brother who received the important guests, not him. That was why he was very confused about what was happening.
Gu Chaoyan did not have time to explain but pulled him up. “This is not a good seat, let’s sit over there.”
Gu Yunxuan was confused. He was about to say something when Gu Chaoyan pulled him away. They came to Zhou Huaijin. Gu Chaoyan smiled and said, “This is my Second Brother, let’s go there together.”
Awkwardness dominated Gu Yunxuan’s face, but he still bowed. “Greetings, Lord Huai.”
Zhou Huaijin took a look at Gu Yunxuan. He had no idea that someone like this was living at the Gu Mansion before, but as he met him today, he found that this man looked similar to Chaoyan, no matter how Chaoyan would make a presentation of him. He looked a bit worried, but he was still a frank, and well-behaved man.
He was not sure if this man was going to become capable in the future, but at least he was a very nice man. It was Chaoyan’s luck to have a Second Brother like this.
Zhou Huaijin patted Gu Yunxuan’s shoulders. “Greetings, Second Brother.”
Gu Yunxuan got startled, waved his hands and said, “No, no, Lord, no.”
Gu Yunhe got shocked hearing Lord Huai calling him “Second Brother”.
