1525 Shadow Door 2
Gu Chaoyan had lost weight, and her skin had become extremely fair. Even if she was placed among young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, she could still be considered good-looking. The only regrettable thing was the blood-red birthmark on her face. It was really an eyesore, without this, she could be said to be perfect, no matter in terms of ident.i.ty or appearance. She was a perfect fit for Zhou Huailing.
As far as he remembered, she painted a flower on her birthmark at the banquet of the Min Family, which covered up the imperfection of her blood-red birthmark, showing some interesting characteristics.
Many ladies and madames from the capital learned from her by painting different flowers on their faces.
At that time, he also believed that Gu Chaoyan was strikingly beautiful, but…
!!
That was just for one moment. It could not last for too long.
Without the decoration, the birthmark looked ugly. Also, he was the Crown Prince and he was not going to allow his woman to have these paintings on her. That would make her look less graceful.
Therefore… he was going to help her remove the birthmark before the Phoenix Girl married him.
Zhou Huailing had been going through a lot of things in his mind on this short walk. He kept sizing up Gu Chaoyan without concealing his greed.
Gu Chaoyan frowned deeply and she looked quite unhappy.
She had been staring forward, rather than glancing at Zhou Huailing, but she could still sense Zhou Huailing’s bold gaze on her, which made her feel disgusted. If they were not in the court, she would have slapped him.
Gu Chaoyan walked faster and pa.s.sed him. She hoped to get rid of what she had to face now.
Zhou Huailing found that Gu Chaoyan hurried up, so he caught up with her and stood closer to her side, sizing her up and saying straightforwardly. “You are defending my Eighth Brother, but he is a man who can’t defend you.”
“…”
“The Phoenix Girl is a very excellent ident.i.ty, in the Saint Divine Land and in the other four countries it is very n.o.ble as well! Lady Chaoyan, I feel that you should realize who you are, so that you can make the correct choice!”
“…”
“I am the Crown Prince, who is an important son for the King and the whole country stands by my side.”
“…”
“You have not gotten married, so you still have the choice. You are a smart person and you have the chance to choose what suits you best. You are the Phoenix Girl and I am sure that you are smart enough to make the right choice.”
“…”
“As long as you think it through and make the right choice, me and the King will arrange it for you.”
“…”
“What do you think, Lady Chaoyan?”
Zhou Huailing threw a very proud look at Gu Chaoyan, seemingly confident. She was here today and she saw how useless his Eighth Brother was in front of him. That man was not suitable to marry the Phoenix Girl at all!
If she looked carefully, she would know what choices to make.
Hearing what he said, Gu Chaoyan turned coldly to Zhou Huailing.
