She could not help, but pinch that serious face of Zhou Huaijin.
She had not expected that a smart person like Zhou Huaijin had understood!
Having his face pinched all of a sudden, Zhou Huaijin stiffened. He looked at Gu Chaoyan in surprise, then flushed. He gave a light cough to cover up his own embarrassment.
He moved in his seat slightly.
He felt a bit embarrassed when she pinched his face right in front of so many people.
“What are you laughing at?” Zhou Huaijin asked awkwardly.
“I am laughing at you for being so serious.” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile. “That was just a piece of random music I played. No records or legends have ever said that a piece of flute music could attract a phoenix! There aren’t that many phoenixes in this world, and a phoenix is also a smart bird too. Well, since they are willing to offer me one million yuan, why not accept it? It is just a deal to sell a piece of music.”
Only now did Zhou Huaijin understand what was going on. It seemed that the phoenix did not show up because of the sound of the flute.
No wonder Chaoyan said yes to them.
That was the truth behind the whole thing.
He pinched Gu Chaoyan’s nose and said, “You are not very kind.”
Gu Chaoyan tried to give him a push, but failed, then she added. “We are almost the same, Lord Huai.”
Zhou Huaijin laughed loudly.
Then Qing came and said that Young Duke was here.
Only at this moment did Zhou Huaijin stop laughing. He said emotionally, “Your mansion is bustling today, everyone is here!”
Gu Chaoyan shrugged. She did not expect her mansion to be so full of people anyway.
She had no interest in meeting Gu Zhenkang and Gu Ruxue, but she wondered what Young Duke was here for.
Young Duke did not show up for the Spring Hunt since he needed to spend some more time healing. So what was he doing here today?
Honestly… Young Duke had changed a lot. Mrs. Duke North had not taken the drug she gave her, which was a good thing.
When Zheng Chenyi arrived, he had a few gifts with him, which he let Qing put away.
The moment he walked in, Zheng Chenyi put the drug bottle on the table and passed it to Gu Chaoyan. “Mother is doing very well now, so I don’t think she needs it any more. Here you are, Lady Chaoyan, I’m giving it back to you.”
Gu Chaoyan put it away without saying anything more.
That was a good thing.
“Oh, one more happy thing.” Zheng Chenyi smiled awkwardly.
Gu Chaoyan had been in the middle of putting away the drug when she looked at Zheng Chenyi curiously, hearing that he had a happy thing to tell her. She was obviously waiting for him to tell the whole story.
Zhou Huaijin was surprised too.
Zheng Chenyi said with a brief smile. “I am getting married, please, come to Duke North’s Mansion on my wedding day.”
Hearing the news, Gu Chaoyan smiled brightly.
Mrs. Duke North had been expecting Zheng Chenyi to take the rank, get married and father children. Now her wishes had all been realized. That was indeed a wonderful piece of news for them.
Gu Chaoyan said sincerely, “Congratulations, Young Duke!”
Zheng Chenyi did not laugh equally loudly.
The lady he was going to marry was someone selected by his mother. She was from a noble family, though not the lineal daughter. His mother liked her very much.
He had met her too, but it was a slightly timid girl who was not his type. He preferred someone confident and wild like Lady Chaoyan.
He looked at Lady Chaoyan subconsciously.
