Ms. Doctor Divine

While Zhou Huaijin was talking, Gu Chaoyan had picked up her teacup and drank some tea. The tea tasted good, totally fitting for the weather. It was very important what kind of tea should be eaten in what kind of season. Gu Chaoyan was still thinking about this when she heard what Zhou Huaijin asked.

She looked confused as she looked at Zhou Huaijin.

Her plan? What plan?

They already came to the agreement with Xie Yan, who would tell them the truth about why he was being hunted by Zhou Huailing whilst they kept him safe for a month to prevent him being found by Zhou Huailing’s men.

The agreement was reached ages ago and they were following the rules. Xie Yan could do whatever he wanted after one month’s time, and it depended on himself what plan he was going to take, rather than what plan she was making.

!!

Gu Chaoyan could not understand the question.

She sipped her tea and turned a confused look at Zhou Huaijin, wondering what he meant.

Zhou Huaijin could not help but chuckle at the sight of Gu Chaoyan’s confused look.

Xie Yan had been implicitly asking Chaoyan if she could keep him, and he expected Chaoyan to answer his question. Yet Chaoyan did not. And also, Xie Yan had apparently turned very disappointed.

However, he said nothing.

That was because he wondered if Chaoyan had other plans.

Chaoyan was a girl with plans, and she never told anyone what she was really thinking.

That was why he asked such a question.

However, seeing the way Chaoyan reacted, Zhou Huaijin realized what Chaoyan had been thinking about – she never thought about keeping Xie Yan, thus not answering Xie Yan’s words. She did not avoid the question. She just did not think about it.

Zhou Huaijin laughed and found Chaoyan lovely.

She was, actually, an incredibly smart girl. She could be extremely considerate about everything, and made perfect plans, but she could be innocent and lovely sometimes, like right now. She was also quite slow when it came to emotions. She could never sense anyone who was interested in her

He liked her in this way, but he started to feel sorry for Xie Yan as well.

Inside Xie Yan’s heart, Chaoyan was incredibly tricky and he would assume that Chaoyan had her own ideas and plan. However, what he did not understand was that Chaoyan was just a girl who had just passed her adulthood, and she could be very innocent as well.

Therefore, Xie Yan failed in his plan and got tripped by his arrogance.

As he thought about how Chaoyan did matters and the staff she had recruited, all of them begged to stay rather than were asked, except for Prince Muyi’s bodyguard, who she intended to recruit yet gave up because of Prince Muyi.

And Xie Yan was obviously not capable enough for Chaoyan to hire.

Therefore...
