Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 732 - Trust

He took hold of Gu Chaoyan\'s hands and held them tightly.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.

They all said that Lord Huai was ruthless and cold, yet as a matter of fact, he was a very careful and discreet man. He would be sad if he thought of many small details.

"Don\'t worry or blame yourself. Gu Ruxue is my sister, and even without you around, she would want to compare with me about everything. I might not be the lineal daughter, yet she knows that she is not the real one, despite how much she wants to be. She is not the real lineal daughter, so she wants to be better than me in every aspect. With you around, she just makes some comparison and then stops, but without you around, she would probably end up killing me!" Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly.

Zhou Huaijin touched her face, asking her not to think about this.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She did not care about this, nor was she scared.

Back at the banquet, she was already aware that Gu Ruxue was going to have a contest with her at the Spring Hunt as she mentioned the mounts. Even if Madame Min helped her at the banquet, Madame Min would not have the right to stop any contest at the Spring Hunt.

Gu Chaoyan was never afraid of contests. So if Gu Ruxue wanted to have a contest with her, she could just do that. She didn\'t believe that Gu Ruxue would be able to beat her at any contest.

In the previous life or in the present one, Gu Chaoyan had never been afraid of anything.

"Anyway, don\'t think about this any more, do you trust me?" Gu Chaoyan asked.

"Of course," Zhou Huaijin said straightforwardly without hesitation. He trusted Gu Chaoyan\'s competence, but he was just a bit concerned.

However, since Chaoyan wanted to drop the topic Zhou Huaijin dropped it too.

"Just practise the bow and you will definitely like the Spring Hunt!" Zhou Huaijin said with a smile.

The Spring Hunt was indeed a very interesting event in the Saint Divine Land.

In the past, when the princes and ambassadors from other countries came to pay the tribute to the Saint Divine Land, they left without participating in the Spring Hunt, but there was one time when a prince insisted on being part of the Spring Hunt, and stayed until spring time. From that time on, all princes wanted to stay for the Spring Hunt each year. So the Spring Hunt became an event for the princes and ambassadors to participate in every year.

***

Chaoyan was very good at riding and shooting, so Zhou Huaijin knew that she would like the feeling of riding through the woods.

Amd Gu Chaoyan did look forward to participating in the event. She had not been with any events for a long while.

It was always very cold in winter, so she could do nothing other than staying indoors, reading and drinking tea. That eventually became boring.

"I am free these two days, so I can practise when the weather is good," Gu Chaoyan said with a smile.

Zhou Huaijin pinched her face subconsciously at the sight of her smile.

Gu Chaoyan protested, so Zhou Huaijin withdrew his pinch, and stopped teasing her any more.

Sword One came with the pastries and Gu Chaoyan asked. "How is everything about Xunyang? What does the King think at the moment?"

When Xunyang was mentioned, Zhou Huaijin shook his head and smiled.. "My father has gotten himself confused."
