Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 512: Not Her

He did not come in until after he regained the warmth.

Seeing Gu Chaoyan, he frowned slightly. “Why are you so scared of the cold?”

Winter was quite cold in this land. It was only early winter and Chaoyan was already getting chilly. What was she supposed to do when the real winter arrived?

And he found that Chaoyan was more scared of the cold than others. She could not even stand the cold even in autumn. He found that something was not right about her, but maybe it was because of her physical quality.

It was the Gu Mansion’s fault for not taking good care of her, and that’s why she was feeling cold all the time.

“They are just exaggerating,” Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

Zhou Huaijin took hold of her hands – he did not think that the girls were exaggerating. He sighed.

“Chaoyan, from today on, I will always stay by your side whenever the snow falls.” Zhou Huaijin said with a heartache. How he wished that they could get married as soon as possible.

After they got married, she did not have to stay at this shabby Qiong Pavilion, because Lord Huai’s Mansion would be good enough for her not to get cold any more.

Gu Chaoyan smiled.

***

No more snow fell after the first time, but it was never sunny, just extremely cold.

However, the sun arose on the two days of Gu Chaoyan’s Adulthood Ceremony.

There was a touch of warm sun that shone in through into the yard.

On the Adulthood Ceremony day, Mrs. Gu showed a look of unwillingness. Although Zhou Huaijin already had everything ready for the Adulthood Ceremony, there was still an organizer that was needed for the Adulthood Ceremony.

It was normally the Mother of the family that should do the organizing. Or some elderly ladies in the family.

Since Madame Gu could not even stand, she could not possibly be the organizer. And the concubines in the mansion were not at all qualified. Only Mrs. Gu was somewhat qualified.

Yet it was Gu Chaoyan’s Adulthood Ceremony, so even if Mrs. Gu was willing to do it for Princess Yunxi and Princess Xunyang’s sake, she was still very displeased about this mission.

Seeing that Gu Chaoyan was standing not faraway, Mrs. Gu said directly, “Isn’t she so capable? She said that I am not the madame of the family because she never served me tea! So why am I asked to do the organizing right now? I am not at all qualified. Anyone else can do it, but not me, or yourself.”

Mrs. Gu did not show any fear right now, since Gu Ruxue’s identity as the Phoenix Girl was revealed, she had nothing to hide.

Gu Zhenkang could not say a thing as he looked at Mrs. Gu.

“Of course I can’t. I am a man, no man can be the organizer of an Adulthood Ceremony!” Gu Zhenkang turned it down directly – it was against tradition and he did not want to get laughed at.

“Then don’t get me to do it either,” Mrs. Gu said arrogantly.

Gu Zhenkang felt his head spinning. He did not care either, but the Lord was here, and he had to do something for the Lord’s sake! The Lord attached great attention to this ceremony and now they did not even have any organizer to make it go smoothly. What was he supposed to do?

Gu Zhenkang was so annoyed.

He snapped at Gu Chaoyan. He wasn’t happy as he saw her just standing there. “Just flatter Mrs. Gu, so that she can be the organizer! Otherwise how can the Adulthood Ceremony continue?”
