Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 463: Not You

Zhou Huaijin felt quite weird inwardly.

“Isn’t Destiny Monk supposed to be the monk at Putuo Temple, and isn’t he there now too?” The Queen did not know the real story, so she was not surprised at all. She had met this man before, but she never asked him to do fortune-telling for her.

Well… Destiny Monk sounded like a wild name! Could anyone in this world truly read destiny? The Queen did not believe such a thing, so she barely took him to heart, but now hearing that the King was looking for him… The Queen sighed and shook her head, assuming that the King was getting too old to stay realistic.

“Xunyang, don’t mention such a thing in front of anyone else, or pester your Father about what he is doing, got it? I just hope that you can grow up safely and find a proper family to get married to when the time is right,” the Queen said with a dry voice.

Xunyang said no more. She nodded as she looked at her mother.

Zhou Huaijin threw a look at Gu Chaoyan. They lowered their heads and continued eating the food.

Since The Queen already reminded Xunyang about this, Zhou Huaijin did not need to say anything more.

After the food was finished, the day was getting late as well. They could not stay in the court any more, so Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan waved goodbye to the Queen and left the court.

At the Weiyang Palace.

Seeing the two leaving, the Queen showed a rare smile.

Aunt Nan said as she was standing next to her, “You can be assured now, Queen, Lord and Lady Chaoyan are happy together.”

The Queen nodded, she could tell that too. Only Gu Chaoyan was able to make Huaijin smile genuinely.

“Let’s go in,” the Queen said with relief.

Only Princess Xunyang had no idea what was going on with the two figures that were going away.

However, the two figures were not as compatible with each other as the Queen and Aunt Nan assumed.

Zhou Huaijin tried to take hold of Gu Chaoyan’s hands, but she dodged the move.

Gu Chaoyan did not say a thing since they were talking with the Queen back at the Weiyang Palace, but that did not necessarily mean that she did not care what happened.

She pursed her lips, then she glared at Zhou Huaijin, falling into silence.

Zhou Huaijin smiled and explained. “Seven might be a puppy, but she is cute, even Susu and Mother say that you two look alike. I am not making it up!”

Gu Chaoyan choked on her words. She was about to counter when reality countered her.

Instead of countering, Gu Chaoyan glared at him and ignored him totally.

Zhou Huaijin laughed as they walked to the wagon.

As Zhou Huaijin moved closer to Gu Chaoyan, he was pushed away eventually.

Well… Zhou Huaijin finally had to imitate the puppy’s barking and said, “I look like the puppy, not you, okay?”

Gu Chaoyan finally laughed and then she looked at Zhou Huaijin in pleasure.

Zhou Huaijin gave a slight pinch on her face, feeling helpless. Then Fu Bao’s voice arose. “Lady Chaoyan, here we are.”

Gu Chaoyan got up and so did Zhou Huaijin, but Gu Chaoyan pushed him down. “You can stay here.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

Gu Chaoyan got off the wagon, and then Gu Zhenkang suddenly appeared from nowhere. “Hey, Chaoyan.”
