1516 Closeness

What would it be like on their wedding day? Would Chaoyan still be as shy as she was now? She didn’t even dare to look into his eyes. She was like a proud and helpless kitten with wide open eyes, looking around in panic, but holding him tightly with its small paws, fearing that he would leave.

He was born in the imperial family, and he had seen through the conspiracies and tricks in the palace since he was a child. Even in the most dangerous situation, he was not afraid and always responded calmly. He had even established the Shadow Door, which could overturn the whole country and the whole continent, but in front of her…

He had many hopes and dreams, yet was still behaving so cautiously, fearing that he would hurt her somehow.

Zhou Huaijin gently stretched out his hands, and put them on Gu Chaoyan’s face, so that she was facing him, and they could directly look each other in the eyes.

!!

The sudden movement caused Gu Chaoyan to panic a little. Zhou Huaijin was afraid of scaring her, so he caressed her back, saying with a hoa.r.s.e voice and asked gently, “The Min Family was here?”

The panicking Gu Chaoyan was distracted instantly upon hearing that question. She nodded seriously, without panicking any more. “Yes. They wanted to establish a good relations.h.i.+p with me through the lady of the Min Family’s marriage with Gu Yunhe.”

“…”

“And they even spoke of how I treated Madame Min before, trying to make me a savior to Madame Min.”

“…”

“They even wanted me to pick a good wedding date.”

“…”

“Then the meeting ended in displeasure.

Zhou Huaijin frowned as he heard what was happening.

He knew pretty well what the Min Family was doing here at the Gu Family. But he had not expected that the Min Family had no manners and would try to embarra.s.s Chaoyan.

The Min Family had a long history and even the King and the Crown Prince wanted to have their support. And the Min Family had always been firm about rules and manners, so what were they doing the day before, anyway?

Chaoyan’s birth mother pa.s.sed away and the Gu Family was setting her up all the time. Without any family around, they were trying to set her, a young and sole girl on her own, up?

She was unmarried and she was asked to pick a wedding date for others?

“I don’t think that the Min Family is worth the t.i.tle. No manners at all. They are not at all up to their names.”

“…”

“Mrs. Min has set a good example for them, but now that she is gone, the Min Family has fallen like an ordinary family.”

“…”

“Sword One and the girls are too young for you. You are the Phoenix Girl and you need to communicate with people. I will get a few aunties from the Shadow Door to help you.”

Zhou Huaijin was really angry.

He was very angry that Chaoyan had no mother to help her, but still got set up.

Chaoyan could pick a date if she wanted to, but the Min Family was just bullying everyone around Chaoyan when they decided to do that in this way.

“It is fine. The Min Family can’t do anything to me,” Gu Chaoyan said.

Zhou Huaijin looked at her and could not help kissing her.
