1868 Detoxifying 2
The moment Huang Fu withdrew his magical power, Gu Chaoyan, who had been basking in the comforting warmth, suddenly became uncomfortable. Her brows furrowed deeply.
“Take a break, it’s quite normal,” Huang Fu said calmly.
The following days followed a similar pattern.
At the designated time, Huang Fu would arrive with the medicinal soup. After consuming it, Gu Chaoyan would take a break, gradually feeling less discomfort.
Over the past few days, Gu Chaoyan had unconsciously been avoiding Zhou Huaijin. As the seven days progressed, her avoidance of him increased.
Zhou Huaijin had no clue about the reasons behind her behavior, but he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. Therefore, he adjusted his actions according to her mood and handled the matters with the hidden guards himself.
And today…
It marked the seventh day.
In other words, after consuming the final bowl of medicine, she would be completely detoxified.
Additionally, once detoxified, the Happiness Drug would take effect within her body.
Hence…
Before Gu Chaoyan drank the medicine, she felt distressed.
Even though she and Huaijin were already married, there were certain things that made her feel bashful. The Happiness Drug could influence her and push her to do something bolder than she was used to. She couldn’t bring herself to confront this.
The mere thought of it made her feel shy.
She simply couldn’t fathom what she was expected to do.
The sensation of being unable to control herself was something she disliked.
Huang Fu found her amusing.
It was a side of her that Feng Le had never witnessed before.
However…
Seven days had pa.s.sed, and he was finished teasing her.
Hence…
Huang Fu cleared his throat lightly and said, “Don’t worry, there’s an ice bed in Snow Territory for the Happiness Drug. If you don’t want to proceed, after today, I will take you to the ice bed for detoxification.”
Ice bed?
And Huang Fu knew about it?
Then why hadn’t he mentioned it earlier?
Instead, he had unnecessarily caused her worry.
Gu Chaoyan felt as if Huang Fu had played a trick on her. He had deliberately done so!
Yet, as Gu Chaoyan looked up at Huang Fu, his expression was serious. There was no hint of a smile. It seemed he hadn’t acted intentionally.
“Are you going?” Huang Fu inquired.
“Of course,” Gu Chaoyan responded through clenched teeth. She still didn’t fully trust Huang Fu. She believed he had done it deliberately.
Huang Fu appeared surprised and asked Gu Chaoyan, “I thought you would be with the King of the Saint Divine Land. Getting married is a natural occurrence.”
Gu Chaoyan’s face darkened, displaying her displeasure.
Huang Fu…
He was intentionally mocking her!
“We have no need for such vile drugs now that we’re married,” Gu Chaoyan declared, her teeth clenched.
She finished drinking the contents of the bowl and chose not to say another word to Huang Fu.
He was intentionally provoking her.
Huang Fu smiled.
Then he remained silent.
Continuing the conversation might actually make her seek his a.s.sistance with this matter.
He didn’t want to agitate her further.
Just as before, he s.h.i.+elded her with his magical power.
However, following that, Huang Fu led her outside directly.
The ice bed in Snow Territory resided atop a towering snow-covered mountain, devoid of any guardians. It was too frigid for ordinary individuals to endure. Furthermore, it was formed by the mountain itself and couldn’t be relocated.
