Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 56: Suspicion

Auntie Song cringed and followed behind the girl.

Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, Lord Huai looked less lethal. Yet the cold expression did not disappear from his face. He was still squinting at Gu Chaoyan. “So you mean the girl’s face will not cure?”

Gu Chaoyan nodded cruelly. “Since she spent so much effort to say that I caused it, then I should do something to make the accusation true.”

This sentence made Lord Huai smile a little.

This woman was indeed interesting. She was totally different from the other annoying ones. She admitted what she did, just as he would normally do.

After they finished discussing Huo Wei, the two quieted down and continued to walk forward without saying anything more.

Gu Chaoyan was not a talkative person in either of her lives. And Lord Huai was even less talkative than she was.

Gu Chaoyan could not help but hesitate, wondering if he could be a wonderful partner. She kept thinking that this man was a little manic. He smiled at her at their first meeting and offered to marry her, who was ugly. Now he was putting up a cold air of himself... She was definitely confused.

However, this thought did not linger long in Gu Chaoyan’s mind. She could accept that even if Lord Huai was a manic, since she could not find a better partner.

So as they came to the Lake Center Pavilion, Gu Chaoyan asked straightforwardly, “Do you still hold the intention of marrying me, as you said before?”

Hahaha. A laugh arose suddenly.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Lord Huai and spotted the man in black hidden in the dark corner.

“Lin Sen!” Lord Huai frowned slightly, quieting the man in black down. Then he turned to Gu Chaoyan. “Lin Sen is my hidden guard. He doesn’t talk much.”

Having said the words, he placed his scorching eyes upon Gu Chaoyan.

He loved her eyes that were clear, and fair with no complications.

“You want to say yes now?” Zhou Huaijin was calm, showing no emotions as he spilled out the words.

Gu Chaoyan inhaled.

She knew it! She knew that a man with that social status never said anything serious, but she was prepared.

She breathed out and said with confidence. “Yes, I do.”

“....”

“I was too naive before to assume that I can get whatever I want with my own abilities. But now, the idea has been proved wrong. So I thought over your suggestion, realizing that I would not be picked on by those mean bitches, if I were your Princess. Everything will be easier.”

“....”

“Of course, I won’t be your Princess for nothing.”

Zhou Huaijin looked at her with interest as he heard the words.

He made her a cup of tea.

“Go on.”

“You proposed to marry me, because for you, I am practical in some way too. Qing says that you are the most noble lord of the Saint Divine Land, and the king loves you. Everyone thinks that he treats you with utter love, yet I do not think so.”

“Lord!” Rong Chuxuan bellowed furiously and threw a hostile look at Gu Chaoyan.

“Shut up!” Zhou Huaijin threw a cold look at her but turned to Gu Chaoyan with a look of gentleness. “Please, continue.”
